What is u[p with me and sunflowers? I believe we should all try to live like a sunflower and always look to the positive things {Like the SUn} that make us grow.
My blog is about finding myself and writing down my experiences as i learn them, hey i dont know everything... yet!
my motto->i AM as strong as the coffee i drink, and the hairspray i use♥
I've been feeling a little creative lately, it must have something to do with new year, new chapter and new adventures. This painting is of a skyline of joburg and the mediums used here are drawing pens, watercolors and copic markers! Let me know what you think?
its been a frustrating few weeks but never the less i am still positive and optimistic about the year ahead. this week hasnt been all that bad but i do feel it could have been better. lets just say that we do have an effect on the situations we're in and if we choose to be negative it will be a negative situation and if we choose to be positive the situation could get better.
so here's to a better weekend and an even better week ahead!
While i absolutely appreciate having a few rainy days, i have to admit that it is starting to feel like the Southern part of Africa has become very European and as much as i love Europe ( i adore Europe) i would love too see that yellow thing called the sun. I mean this is Africa after all!
Heres a bit of South African Flavour. Anyone heard of Locnville? These Twin brothers are making huge waves in the country and have a big following already, their song, "Sun in my Pocket" has South Africans hooked!
Id love to hear your opinions!!! :)
heres the Lyrics:
I’ve got the sun in my pocket and the moon in hands
I throw it up amongst the stars and watch it move in a dance
Sometimes I stop and play it over again
With a smooth breeze blowing, flowing closer within, hey.
Verse 1:
Now let me think about the route that I took
I heard them say that I should play it by the rules of the book
But I took it real easy on them, proceed to beat the problem
Smooth wishes in my words, belief’s a need to calm them
Listen and pay attention to the things that I cam to mention
I’ve had simliar ways of tension, just consider the maze of questions
I have, I have, I’ll be ready just give me a second, I’m there
Just give me a second, I’m there.
Chorus:
I’ve got the sun in my pocket and the moon in hands
I throw it up amongst the stars and watch it move in a dance
Sometimes I stop and play it over again
With a smooth breeze blowing, flowing closer within, hey.
Verse 2:
It’s growing over now, so close I can almost hold it
Provoke and open now, hope there’s those opposed to close it
For a broken soul is over, trading craters for holes to solve it
A cold reality for amnesty in closr circles
Unfold the known, it’s worth, give them a sign to show it’s perfect
A person evolves to purpose, a turn that resolves to earn it
Like this, like this, Just follow me if you’re scared
Just follow me if you’re scared.
Chorus:
I’ve got the sun in my pocket and the moon in hands
I throw it up amongst the stars and watch it move in a dance
Sometimes I stop and play it over again
With a smooth breeze blowing, flowing closer within, hey
Im a bit of a freak when it comes to these wonderful objects known as the camera. I especially love the drawings of the polaroid cameras just because it reminds me of the good times, not necessarily my good times but a memory catcher (you know like a sun catcher?) it will capture the good times and capture moments that will never happen again! Thats why i love those things and Hey, i did use one when i spent a few weeks over seas and man those memories will last forever. So this year i am honoring the memory catcher and my future blog posts will have some sort of link to this object why, because it lives in my everyday life and im not about to let it go unnoticed!
"ill make it through the rainy days
Ill be the one who stands up longer than the rest,
when my landscape changes, rearranges
ill be stronger than i have ever been,
no more stillness, just sunrise
everythings gonna be alright"
Stronger by Sugababes
is sad that the holiday has come to an end! i wish i could explore more of the world along with its dierse traditions and history. i hae fallen more in lo^e tra^el and the secrets of the world!
