How can someone be taken away so quickly!!

Last night was the worst night of my life so far!!
My Nana passed away at 7pm! The only thing that makes me smile is that she is up in Heaven with her son and her sister!

BUT why are people taken away! How do you face things without them? One day you are here and the next day you are gone!

My prayer is that the family find strength to celebrate the good times we had with her!
May she rest in peace!!

Nans, i will miss you terribly but i know one day we will all be together again!! Thank you for everything that you have given me.....whenever mom says no ask nana!! :-)

Today..

Well i survived Monday!! What a day. Got to school - well work and did not stop til 13:45! Reports for the various grades are staggered but are all due on the bosses desk. So Gr 1's tomorrow, Gr 2's Wednesday and Gr 3's thursday which means that the stress of printing them starts! you gotta make sure the printer doesn't jam because there is a limited amount of cardboard available! Believe me it doesn't sound stressful until you actually do it!! I have timed it, it takes 1 min 55secs 07 split secs for 1 report! So that means 22 + 22+ 21 + 25 + 28 + 29 + 30 = 177 reports which means 267 mins!! And the whole time you have stressed teacher's stressing about getting the reports done!

So today started with report stress!
Got a busy week, I am going to the Hillsong United concert on Wednesday night and can't wait!! Fri i am going to my sisters Grade 7 farewell party!

It is 18 days til school ends!! whooo hooo, can't wait for the 6 week holiday!
Have a good week everyone!
:-)

This weekend we went up to Qunu Falls in Ixopo. It is beautiful there! We left at 3 and we got there just before 6. We ended up travelling in the mist. Saturday was also misty.

Anyway whenever we are there we go and feed the animals (they have a few goats, geese, chickens and rabbits) While i was there i found a friend.......a baby goat...a kid! I could not stop loving this thing, it was SO SO friendly! I fell so in love and it is so strange coz i actually miss it so much. It was the cutest little thing, i could have easily taken it home!! I have this strange feeling in my heart - like something is missing! :-)

I have now decided that i want to live in the country and raise goats, chickens and sheep! What an awesome life it would be!

Today is Monday and the weather isn't great - when do you think summer will come?? All i want to do is swim and be outside!!

:-)

Champions!!

YES the Sharks did it!!!!

Well done boys!

What a nail biting game! We sit down and i am SO amped for this game and 10 or 15mins into the game the signal at the stadium was lost so TV coverage was cut!!! I nearlly had a heart attack! It came back on 10mins later as we scored a try!! Well Done Ruan :-)

The game was an intense game! The last 50 seconds were the worst! It was metres away from the bulls try lie and the bulls got a scrum! I thought it was overs for us BUT the determination of the sharks was unbelievable...they wanted that ball even though the Bulls pack was heavier than ours...we got the ball!!!! What a moment as Jean Deyzel kicked it out!!!! :-) i couldn't help myself i just screamed and jumped up and down!!

I am VERY VERY proud to say i am a Sharks fan!! My blood will ALWAYS be black and white!

CONGRATULATIONS boys....you make us proud!! :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

A Song that made me wake up....

Hosanna

I see the king of glory , Coming on the clouds with fire. The whole earth shakes. The whole earth shakes Yeeeah. I see his love and mercy, Washing over all our sin. The people sing, The people sing

[Chorus] Hosanna Hosanna Hosanna in the highest [x2]

I see a generation Rising up to take their place, With selfless faith, With selfless faith
I see a near revival Stirring as we pray and seek. We're on our knees, We're on our knees

[Chorus] Hosanna Hosanna Hosanna in the highest [x2]

Heal my heart and make it clean, Open up my eyes to the things unseen. Show me how to love like you have loved me, Break my heart from what breaks yours, Everything I am for your kingdoms cause, As I go from nothing to Eternity

[Chorus] Hosanna Hosanna Hosanna in the highest [x4]

Hosanna in the highest.

What an awesome song!! we are the next generation!! Let's be who we are and not be scared to show what we believe in!! Let's stand up for who we are!! "NEVER let the fear of striking out keep you from playing the game" we are the generation rising up to take our place!! :-)

Why I love South Africa

Gill tagged me for this BRILLIANT meme.

Here is how it works:Link back to the meme creator Link to the person who tagged you
Give (at least) 5 reasons why you love SA
Tag at least 5 peeps
Let me know when you've done it!

1. It has to be the outdoors, the nature, the life!! I mean we have wildlife!! You can go to a game reserve and see the big 5!!! You gotta love it!!

2. The weather!! SA has the most awesome weather! Yes we have our cold rainy days but it is often sunny and warm!!

3. SA is the only place you will find Zulu ladies walking around with plastic packets on their head in the rain!! It is so unique that makes it so special and so hard to leave!! I mean it is the only place where you drive down your tar road and hit a HUGE pothole!!!

4. The Rugby! I am a PROUD Springbok supporter!! my blood will always be green and gold!! They make the nation proud!! What unity of different races! 2007 world cup - you had black people, white people, coloured people and indian people all coming as one to support!!! I LOVE IT!!!!

5. It is a place that is filled with SO much potential and it WILL come right! Why not take a step out in faith instead of leaving this most amazing country and abandoning it when times get hard!! Have faith in it!! This place will always be my home, this is where my heart will always belong!! I LOVE SA!!! Everyone out there you are missing out!! Watch this country grown and change, it all takes faith!! AND that is why i love it!!

I'm not tagging anyone!

Current addictions

I was tagged by Gill. She wants me to confess my current addictions!

Now... the rules:
*Post at least five current addictions (with some details please)
*Mention the person who started this game of tag (Being Brazen) and also the person who just tagged you (in my case, Gill).
*Type your post with the heading "Current addictions"
*Tag at least two people and pass on the above rules.

Okay, so here we go...... I confess, my current addictions are:

1) Facebook - i love browsing on facebook, sending messages, adding bumper stickers and looking at people's profiles (I am quite nosey)

2) Listening to ABBA - Man i love it!! Mamma mia the movie just brought it all back!!

3) Kahlua Coffees - YUM YUM YUM!! That taste of that cream and coffee mix is just awesome!

4) Shoes - I cannot go into a shop without looking or trying on shoes!! I could have millions of pairs if i had the money!! I really love shoes!

5) And......at the moment one particular person but i am not gonna mention any names!! ;-)

I am not gonna tag anyone, but if you want to do this, please feel free!

The past, the present and the future are all one......

Today is the 10 August 2008 and the time is 17:41pm.
It feels as if it should still be January!! Time seems to be flying by and I can't keep up, I feel like I need to put the breaks on!!!

There are so mant questions going through my mind:
1) Where am I going with my life?
2) Where is my future headed?
3) What have I accomplished up to today?
4) What do i want to accomplish before i die?

The days, months and years are just passing with the blink of an eye so if you want to do something do it before it is too late!! In just over 2 years i am 21 and I am going to look back and I will be satisfied but i wont be ecstatic!! There is so much i haven't done because i have been too scared or have just said "aah tomorrow is another day" BUT you can't bring back the past and the present isn't around for long and the future is coming rapidly!!
We can't let the fear of being different and the fear of what people might think stop us from doing something!! We only get one physical life to do everything....so make each day worthwhile!! And you never know when your life may be cut short!

Every second being miserable is a second less that you could have been happy!

BE HAPPY :-)
