The one which... I attempt to type up my journal


“There is a tide in the affairs of men,
Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune;
Omitted, all the voyage of their life
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
On such a full sea are we now afloat,
And we must take the current when it serves,
Or lose our ventures.”
Brutus
Julius Caesar, William Shakespeare
Act 4, Scene 3

For all those who may or may not be reading this blog: for the sake of anonymity and ‘all extensive purposes’ I’m going to call myself The Kool Aid Kid or tKAK
I was born and [for the majority of my school life] raised by an old school Filipino mother in East London.
So, for those who are interested: I’m 25, single and mother to two children; a son I had at 18 and a daughter I had at 21.
I could tell you that my life has been either easy or straightforward, but where’s the fun in that when I could give you a step by step insight into my so-called-life?
This blog will probably have moments of being extremely introspective so for all those searching for pretty pictures press ‘X’ on the internet tab now!
But considering I have moments of complete and utter bitchiness you may want to hold out for a bit.
Enjoy

A Lil' Peek At The Kool Aid Kid

"Dont spit on my cupcake and tell me it's frosting. If I wanted something sugar coated, I'd eat a doughnut."


Spiritual

Unique

Kooky

Easily distracted by shiny things ;)

Suffer from moments of 'blonde'

Big reader

Worlds biggest Dork - and proud!

A huge Gleek!

I wish I was smart enough to be a Nerd- no word of a lie

Have worn glasses since I was nine- and never wanted to get contacts- I blame peer pressure *tut tut* because at 23 I changed my mind

I moved out of home when I was 17

Stage Shy Singer

Easily stressed but I thrive off it

Crafter

Loves bathtime

Empathic

Witty

Blunt

Overly sharp and sometimes lacking in tack (ok, a lot)

Jewellery is a passion

I have an affinity for stones

I want afternoon tea at the Ritz and Louboutin macaroons from Laduree... And my house to look like its come straight out of Laura Ashley interiors catalogue *sigh*

I ♥ the smell of ylang ylang, jasmine, rose, vanilla and musk

If you want me to love you buy me David Aston roses :D

I only drink white wine spritzers! ;)

I'm collecting Tattoo's... 5 at last count

I think piercing's are sexy... 8 at last count...

I want a antique silver dressing table set

I love vintage & market shopping

I ♥ Angelina Jolie, Johny Depp and Wentworth Miller!!! Grrrrr ;)

A good listener

Ever ready with advice and opinions... Sometimes too ready ;)

Huge believer in Karma

Widely read

Believes the kitchen -and dining table, by extension- are the heart of the home

Lacking in patience

Hates people who judge/ bitch/ gossip

Has the tendency to judge/ bitch/ gossip ;)

Wears my heart on my sleeve

I find it easy to love

Fiercely independant, I try rely on myself and find it hard to ask favours of others

Loves a feel good film

Hates horror films

Gangster films are a favourite

Loves animals... but hates pets (of my own)

Finds it easy to trust but has learnt that trust is easily broken

Only has a few true friends... And the bonds are not easily broken

Neurotic

I clean when stressed

I love to cook... Eating is even better... God blessed us by making eating a pleasure as well as a necessity

I think love (and the lack of) has lead to the greatest accomplishments and downfalls of a person/ nation/ world

Hates the slow but eventual degradation of the family unit- and I blame Capitalism...

I believe in what I do, without dedication and vision, success is unachieveable. No matter how many man hours you put in.

I love my work. Period




I love my life. And although my world is small; it's filled and surrounded with truths.

I love my Mama
I have two beautiful children
I love my home; my personal space and to be alone.
I'm a perfectionist
I'm stronger for my experiences
I have no regrets
Everyday I thank God I'm alive and still have the strength and oppurtunity to fight.
Where many are left broken, I am still here; stronger and more willing to fight than those that life has not touched.
I wouldn't say that I'm not afraid, but I refuse not to live my life to the fullest.

Many choose to judge.
I keep my head down, my mouth shut and watch me, myself and I.
...And if others did the same, with positivity in their hearts and a blessing on their lips, maybe, just maybe, we could all transcend.
