"I am someone who is looking for love. Real love. Ridicules , inconvenient , consuming cant-live-without-each-other love" - Carrie (Sex and the city)

Its a magnificent thing to live in the city it really is...2 am as everyone stumbles home and rain starts pouring to make away for a brand new day life suddenly becomes real . So much has happened this week and it really got me thinking that we all make mistakes some of them are infinitely great others again lead us to truth , but then there are those that take hold of us and overshadow our days , they interrupt new friendships and come in our way as we can break away. I love how Carrie said that we need to resolve the past before we can walk into the future ...sometimes we just need to let go. The knowing is in the resolving...Maybe our mistakes are what make fate maybe we are meant to mess up sometimes in order to find what God truly has in store for us. The only way we can learn is if we let go of the past...

Its 2 am and Im walking home as I finish this and I'll end with this "maybe our mistakes are what make our fate"Its worth thinking about on a late night or a rainy day.

I bid you goodnight Sydney

OCD collecter with a love for original movie memorabilia

About a year ago I invested in one of the best collectors items the world of ebay has to offer...an original photo of Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison on set of My fair lady... I'm not gonna discuss the price here , but to be honest can you really put a price on history ?

Review - Breakfast at tiffanys

I re-read this book and was pleased to find that I wasn't wrong about it the other million times I read it. Truman Capote is one of my favorite authors and Breakfast at Tiffany's is my all-time favorite American classic. I don't read about Holly Golightly, I absorb this unique, eccentric character. The message Mr. Capote conveys in this novel is one of poignancy and charm. Holly, like her nameless cat, is a free spirit, a young woman whose quirks and unconventional lifestyle endear everyone, including the ambiguous narrator. This book overwhelms me with sadness every time I read it. Ms. Golightly's elusiveness touches me every time. I also love the film version of this novel. But the story gets lost somewhere amid the chemistry between Audrey Hepburn and George Peppard. Peppard plays the narrator, and his character loses the mystery and ambiguity that is evident in the book. And even though I love the film's ending, the novel's conclusion is unforgettable. There are various differences between the book and the film, but they're both classics in their unique way. If you've seen the movie but haven't read the book, I strongly suggest you pick it up. Truman Capote is a brilliant writer, and he outdid himself with this timeless gem.

The rain is pouring outside and so is a piece of my heart... I love my country and I love my family so much but its just so so hard to think that in less than a week I have to leave them all for a life in a foreign place. The Bible says that "everything in our lives work for the good of those who love Christ", but why am I so sad? A part of me feels like things aren't going to be good that side and another part of me is expectant. I can't even possibly quiet frankly tell anyone right now what I'm going through. The things I have prayed for are all there , but why does it feel like some things , some questions are still lingering ?

The Beginning

I sat through an amazing sermon last night by Julia Bell from Hillsong's City Campus in Sydney. I have to say I went into that sermon thinking that I wasn't going to be magically transformed or anything like that .... Surprise , Surprise! I don't think I have honestly been more touched by a sermon than I was last night. The jest of the sermon was that we need to get back to the basics and back to the basic means reading our Bibles. I started the very tiring quest this morning and decided Id try a 1 year plan as suggested by Miss Bell and I was so so surprised by what God started to do in my heart.

When I picked up my Bible this morning and read the very first few pages in Genesis I came to realize just how amazingly surreal God works. See as soon as I read the verses , Genesis to me wasn't just another story about the beginning of matter and time , but rather it became a story of Gods work in my own life. In the beginning there was darkness and God hovered over the darkness ....how many times in our own lives have we not fallen into a wilderness period or a period of darkness and depression , a time void of anything concrete besides the silent reminder that God is there , silently lurking in the background ...To me those first verses resemble what God so often does in our lives in His own creation plan in us individually , He places us in a place of darkness and sometimes we even put ourselves there , but when we are freed and separated from the darkness there is light and the awesome journey begins . If we falter and fall and allow the enemy to steal from us we repeat the process of going back into the darkness. The great message is that no matter how much we screw up God keeps separating us from the darkness and plunges us into the light , if we choose to follow Him and Him alone.

Scriptures to mediate on :

Genesis 1:1

The Message (MSG)

^1-2First this: God created the Heavens and Earth—all you see, all you don't see. Earth was a soup of nothingness, a bottomless emptiness, an inky blackness. God's Spirit brooded like a bird above the watery abyss.

^3-5 God spoke: "Light!"
And light appeared.
God saw that light was good
and separated light from dark.
