There’s no need to suffer those “Eek! I’m getting older” birthday blues. Sure you’re a year older, but you’ll soon discover your life is getting better.

This year in May, I’m in for a birthday treat! This month will be a month of important milestones, as I will be turning 50 years old and also I may have some storms to weather. There’s my youngest son’s rocky marriage to give a thought about and of course the economy downturn.

Well, with these changes I won’t want to think negative but as life progresses, I’ll learn their value. The best way to handle everything is to relax and view whatever happens as destiny working on one’s behalf!

So, I’m going to forget about keeping to my usual routine. It’s time to free myself of guilt and live for the moment – each day as it comes. Life is short so better head off to the shops, pamper myself, buy myself a fantastic birthday present and have enjoyable and quality time with close friends and family members. After all, I’ve worked hard and I deserve it!

I have been tagged by Puteri and this is truly hard for me. My favorite songs are mostly oldies, be it slow rock or R&B and also a couple of the latest hits. Besides that I enjoy listening to Christian/Gospel songs. A girlfriend who was here recently on holiday, was talking about spending Christmas Day away from home in Germany and at which she was not at all looking forward to especially with the temperature of below 20 deg C. Amigosh! That is sure cold man! At the mentioned of that, I took out an album by the late Jim Reeves and we listened to "Blue Christmas" and "Distant Drums".

1. Blue Christmas - Jim Reeves

2. If Tomorrow Never Comes - Ronan Keating

3. Where Is Your Heart - Kelly Clarkson

4. Miscommunication - Delta Goodrem

5. Its my life - Bon Jovi

6. Tequila Sunrise - Eagles

7. Sunrise - Norah Jones

Well, the Tag Rules are: List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words or even if they’re not any good, but they must be songs you’re really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your Live Journal/blog along with your seven songs. Then tag seven other people to see what they’re listening to.

Now, I tagged....

1. Encha Le Girth

2. Magdalene

3. Jbunyau63

4. Petrinz (Entayang)

5. Guruh Roy

I could only think of 5 persons to tag, so keep the ball rolling!

Your color is black. The color of night. Serene and mysterious, black conjures up images of elegant evening gowns, dashing tuxedos, and gleaming limousines. Traditionally a symbol of success, black also represents power and an uncompromising demand for perfection. Not surprisingly, you tend to set challenging goals for yourself and do whatever it takes to achieve them — your strength of character is second to none. This unfaltering determination, along with your natural elegance, impresses people. But keep in mind that your personality might be intimidating to some. Try to temper your demanding side with a little softness — trust us, it won't kill you. Overall, though, black is the color of professionalism and achievement, which means it's clearly the color for you."

Well, I would say there is some truth in the description outlined for what "black color" has to say about my character. Care to check out what's yours? Give it a shot and have a colorful day always! :)

THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE – PART I

Marvel in the lunacy of the English Language………..

Can you read these, right the first time?

The bandage was wound around the wound.
The farm was used to produce produce.
The dump was so full that it had to refuse more refuse.
We must polish the Polish furniture.
He could lead if he would get the lead out.
The soldier decided to desert his dessert in the desert.
Since there is no time like the present , he thought it was time to present the present.
A bass was painted on the head of the bass drum.
When shot at, the dove dove into the bushes.
I did not object to the object.
The insurance was invalid for the invalid.
There was a row among the oarsmen about how to row.
They were too close to the door to close it.
The buck does funny things when the does are present.
A seamstress and a sewer fell down into a sewer line.
To help with planting, the farmer taught his sow to sow.
The wind was too strong to wind the sail.
Upon seeing the tear in the painting I shed a tear.
I had to subject the subject to a series of tests.
How can I intimate this to my most intimate friend?

Let's face it - English is a crazy language.
There is no egg in eggplant, nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
English muffins weren't invented in England or French fries in France.
Sweetmeats are candies while sweetbreads, which aren't sweet, are meat.

I know, yes, I know it’s perfectly normal to feel “kind of down” from time to time. Nothing suits me lately, say, the last few days. It’s the times when I just couldn’t find the right channel BE-HAPPY. I was thinking about how I could find a way to help myself. No point in just bragging about it. So, I browsed through one of friends’ posts and I came across one of the quotations she posted in her blog. I went through the quote in deep thought and somehow I felt so much better and happier afterwards.
