Someday I Will...

I was catching on my blogs and then I noticed that a few of the blogs I was reading all had titles "Someday I will" and I realised .. link up :)



So here it goes, I'm linking up with Taylor today.

Someday I will...

* learn to speak Spanish

I've been wanting to learn Spanish for the longest time and I am making progress .. but very very slowly.

* learn to play the piano

I tried to learn when I was in the 4th Grade but then got distracted.

* travel to Spain

This year, my eurotrip was supposed to be to Spain this year but then I didn't have anyone to go with and my leave didn't match up with the possible Contiki trip. I honestly cannot wait to go there!

* watch Liverpool play at Anfield

I haven't watched them  play live yet but I know I will get the chance sooner rather than later!

* meet Steven Gerrard

This is how I will look

* go on another Contiki Trip

Contiki first time round was amazing and I still have so many great relationships formed and I can't wait to see any of them soon!



* figure out what I want to do with the rest of my life

* love my career

* love my husband and children (which I will also have someday) more than anything else



* write my book

* have stepped onto every continent in the world



* will consistently work at being healthy

* be involved with a NGO which is close to my heart or start my own

* own my own beach house like the one in Nights in Rodanthe

* learn how to use all the HTML codes on my blog!



What will you do someday?

Music Monday : Flying Without Wings

This is one of the songs that really solidified my love for POP music or rather acted as a catalyst for POP music.



The first time I heard this song was when Gareth Gates sang it on the UK Pop Idols and I fell in love with the song and with him!

 
 
But I soon learned that there were loads of versions out there and that Gareth's just happened to my favourite. Here are more versions ...
 
Westlife's Version

Delta Goodman feat Bryan McFadden
 
Ruben Studdard

Which is your favourite version?

Have an awesome week!!!

When a Loved one says F U

I had (have) a friend who repeated this saying " Each to their own" over and over again in her quest for independence and for people not to judge her. But the truth of the matter is that she said it in order for her to do and say what she wanted and for people to leave her be.

In recent weeks I have had a loved one disappoint me so much that I honestly had to take a mental time-out before actually typing up this post.



This person is someone who I have always been there for and in all fairness is someone who has always been there for me but the way in which this situation has been handled has left me with a sour taste in my mouth. It is so sad that people who you allow into your life can easily turn around and you basically spit in your face.

People who love you should always be honest with you and you should always remember that those who love you will only give you their thoughts or opinions based on protecting your best interests and here's MY life opinion - IF I do not agree with some of your choices then fine, live with it and I will do the same but do not go and badmouth me for not condoning your pathetic life choices.



This person has acted in a way which is disheartening and although there will be a time when I will be in this person's life but the truth is just like a cheating man, you'll take them back into your life but you will never look at them the same way. I think you can forgive and forget but there is no need to replay.



What are your thoughts? How do you forgive someone who has completely shattered your faith in your relationship?

Movie Review : Battle of the year

Last night I went to watch "Battle of the year" starring Chris Brown and Josh Holloway and my review is not pretty! 



The storyline was so incredibly basic and predictable that Charne and I chatted through the movie as if we were watching a movie at home. 

The movie released yesterday in South Africa and the movie house was sort of empty which should have been my first indication of the crap that was to follow. 

I don't mean to bash the movie but honestly the best part of the movie was simple Josh Holloway.  It's a toss up between Josh Holloway's eyes and his dimples! 



The movie was in 3D but was so NOT worth it! Again, accept for Josh Holloway. 





The best part of the movie was that I got to spend some quality time with my cousin, Charne. 


Have you watched this movie? Will you? Or the real question... Which is more appealing, Josh Holloway's eyes or his dimples???
