Heart Versus Head

I am definitely more likely to follow my heart than my head. But I have learnt that to survive in this world you need to have a good balance of both. Your heart where feelings lie, should be in tune with your head, which deals with logic and reason.

At the very stage I am at now. I have drawn a lot from my heart and thankfully reason has been there to guide my decisions.



I have finally said, Yes.

I always thought myself liberal, open minded, fair and quite tolerant. The results from the Johari window developed by peers and close relations tells that much. I'm basically laid-back and carefree about many issues.

Yesterday I went through my blog,my writing was as best juvenile and some of my opinions, I have to say have changed drastically, I won't outline them in this post but I know sometime when I have the cause to blog about it, I would.

I know I have grown as a person and I want this blog to be a reflection of that, when I saw some of the posts I made earlier, I wanted to edit them..but I realized it would be to no avail. What is important, is the fact that I have grown as a person, can't say I have gotten anywhere, but self-awareness is a great step, and having a recorded time-line that documents this, priceless.

Yesterday, I told my friend I would blog more, weekly atleast, not only because I want to document/tell folk whats been happening in me life, also to develop skills i suddenly see are extremely crucial. I wish I had done so earlier.

I start off with today's post of course :) The last Binary day of January.

N:B: I will also start using my own illustrations, very soon :) pwomise

When We were young

Singing in the fan, playing in the rain, running on the courts, the memories of when we were young. A carefree life, that couldn’t have been better. Picnics, lots of them on tennis courts just to the side of the towering apartment block. Coke, chocolate, biscuits, home-made sandwiches ever so plenty. We had tons of fun. Once in a while this whole happy-go-lucky lifestyle was interrupted by the flash of a cane. Mummy was a teacher, she had those long canes that were used in schools, such a terrible feeling when it came down on the behind or wide open palms, but no mark to show for it now.

We were naughty kids, during valentine days when couples were either returning from their love serenade or just going out, we gave them a love gift of a water bomb falling from eight storeys landing with a splash on their cars or rather unfortunately on the pretty cloths they had on. We would climb our stairs backwards, neglecting the fact that one slip would lead to our death. We slid down the corridors and the stair railings. Throwing things down to our neighbour’s and going to demand them back like it was their fault it fell into their compound.

We were innocents, who would have thought a girl kissing a girl was something of raised eyebrows even though it was just pretend. We swim naked with boys or girls, that is not possible now without having some funny thoughts.

We were playful, Green light! red light!, ten-ten, I A mother was voted for and she chose the best players, being a very good player was key, monopoly, scrabble, games we played with much glee. Video games, Atari, Nintendo, Sega; Mario, Sonic the Hedgehog, tanker we tanned with so much energy! We played pretend a lot, pretending while washing up the dishes, pretending to be making some magic formula, pretending the cutlery were families and the tumblers their cities and the plates their flying-automobile. Pretending to have families, where our dolls were babies and food was anything we could use.

We were smart, we played so hard it was usually a wonder how we always came on top in school, we were always in the top ten, our parents had nothing on us! There was simply no reaon to punish us, especially when our result read like this AAABABAAAA. And we don’t remember reading a thing, spelling and reading was one of our best classes, so was the teacher.

And We were nice kids, we carried things for the Elderly, gave people gifts, helped our mum around the house, we did our parts in looking out for each other, we didn’t take peoples things, mummy taught us well, we knew when to say sorry, please and thank you.

There is no wonder we turned out the way we are now.

Loves the British accent.
