Since I find myself awake at odd hours these days, I’ve taken to becoming an even bigger news junkie reading updates from all over the place. Which, of course, begins with my politico fix but invariably leads me to the lifestyle, fashion/style and entertainment news. And like millions of others, some of best times of [...]

Boyz II Men again?

This Girl used to be a big Boyz II Men fan. She had all their albums, watched them in concert when they came by and loved the fact that they were known as a “vocal harmony group.” They came and went, as those of you in her age range would know. They had beautiful voices, [...]
footprints in the sand

Footprints in the sand used to be one of This Girl’s favourite allegorical poems: One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord. Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand. Sometimes there were two sets of footprints, other times there was [...]

This girl has to be honest that while she’s sad that the world’s rather ravaged by a series of natural disasters like Haiti, she’s finding it hard to muster up much emotion about it. Perhaps its a little far from home, or that concurrently, there’re also a million other groups that need money, attention and [...]

Its been a madhouse around here this past two weeks. Far too many projects and the whole hassle of moving office has been taking a toll on this girl- she’s not been sleeping too well, she has dreams of her having dreams about work which is oddly trippy and makes her think she’s in some [...]
such promise

And so this girl woke this morning with a slight nervousness that she couldn’t place. It unseated her and much as her body craved more rest, her mind was racing far too much for her to really fall back to bed. She tried listening to her ipod (which sleeps next to her these days), she [...]
resting, resting

These last two months, and indeed, the next three months have been and will be busy. And over the last fortnight, in partiuclar, this girl has been clean wiped out from work and has been sleeping at ten and waking only past noon when the chance occurs. The other parts of her life has pretty [...]
the Britain’s got talent hunt

This girl and The Boy love to watch Britain’s Got Talent (on youtube since they don’t get it on TV or cable). Yes, over American Idol- they think America votes stupidly sometimes; and over America’s Got Talent since the show has David Hasselhoff who’s really OTT stupid. So over the weekend, they spent far too [...]

The whole Susan Boyle phenom has taken the world by storm and many are touting that she’d win the latest season of Britain’s got talent. This girl has watched the youtube video of the broad (how English is that word!) when The Boy read about her on a news channel. And truthfully, she’s pretty amazing [...]

A few weeks before their wedding the Piano Player sent this girl an email with a song that she wanted to share with this girl for her wedding. It was at that time a song that this girl didn’t know and she and The Boy went online to listen to it and its haunting- and [...]

For some inexplicable reason, this girl is feeling a little out of her depth with regards to her life. Yes, she’s happy. Yes, she’s got more than enough projects to keep her entertained. Yes, she’s got a loving family, a set of out-of-this-world-amazing friends. Yes, her life is sorted: emotionally, spiritually mentally. And yet, she [...]

Choir Mistress took this girl to the CD shop to buy herself three CDs for herself. It was a belated birthday present; Choir Mistress was in Uganda the past three weeks. Amongst the stash she got was the highly recommended Acoustic album by Everything but the girl. Its not a “new” band, but if you [...]
would you change?

Someone asked this girl once- actually, it was screamed at this girl during a program segment- “Why must you change?” There were probably a million and one things this girl could have said and she’s sure she uttered something moderately intelligent, but she does not quite recall what. It was a big question that probably [...]

Since this year started, this girl has had a reason to smile everyday. On most days, in fact, she’s had much to laugh about. Its a great feeling. A great place to be. Really. Earlier this evening, this girl met up with some old church friends for coffee: Pilot Boy, Tubs and Faithful. These are [...]

Christmas always takes this girl’s breath away. No, its not the city lights which are very pretty this year. No, neither is it the mad rushing from shopping place to shopping place. No, it is also not the grand feasts and the generous presents. And, no, neither is really the warmth of family and close [...]
