Una fairytale Infantil...

This Spanish assignment couldn’t be more suited to fit me. The once upon a times, the ugly ducklings, the frogs, the princesses and the happily ever afters are soon to be shown the door, and how to close it from the other side.

Además, estoy en casa (Mallorca, España) por unos días. Hace casí un ano mi familia se ha mudado aquí. Aunque no los veo como frecuentemente que antes, nuestra vida ahora es como una cuenta fantasía. Entonces ya tengo bastante inspiración para escribir un libro en lugar de solamente una cuenta!

That’s right! Pixar hold on to your pride, for this Bear is on the prowl with a stash of Surprises up her sleeve. Soon you will be buying my enchanting tales of this magical place for your box office movies.

La escena ahora reflexiona mi idea de la felicidad. Veo unas ondas en la piscina hacían par la brisa suave, Óleo el café fresco, Oyó el sonido de los perros jugando en el jardín y del loro hablando a mis hermanas. Siento el sol sobre todo mi cuerpo.

In itself the scene before me is a fairytale. Being subjected to this degree of Happiness has shown me that; peace of mind, love, success (and all that comes with them) all go hand in hand with each other, we just have to establish the right balance. There is no recipe or guideline to follow, each of us must determine our own balance, through recognising our priorities.

Es cierto que la felicidad es sencilla. Si aprendemos disfrutar la vida por lo que tenemos, la felicidad y la paz seguirán. Riqueza no da la felicidad.

You have heard the proverb; “All that glitters is not gold” – think about that.

El ano pasado aprende una lección que cambió mi vida. Quiero compartirlo con ustedes luego.

In the meantime, try balancing on life.

Aaaaaaaaaahhhhh-tishhhhhhhhhh-ooooooooooooo

My fingers are literally stroking the keys as I type. Top-pal (A.K.A: Laptop) and I are both recovering from a Vernacular (invented) Virus - VV just sings drama. Following a heavy dosage of; Cough-meddi, Uniflu, Strepsils and other painkilling / numbing materials we have come to the conclusion that, hot water with lashings of lemon, honey and ginger really knocks any antibiotic out of the park.

Lectures have not seen much of me, nor has anyone else for that matter. Hence whilst cooped up in my boudoir, I have been chomping at the bit to blog all week, but when top-pal is out of the game, then the ball comes to a grinding halt. There was a stage when we couldn't even be exposed to wireless or suchlike, this was when the VV was at it's peak.

Today took the biscuit, in several respects... It included; A (car!) breakdown, Deportion from several computer labs on campus, Copious amounts of coughing and Getting locked out of the house ..... (wait for it) ..... in the rain! However out of every bad, I like to derive not a good, but a thought.............

........"Aaaaaaaaaahhh-tishhhh-ooooooo"

- Á tu souhait, Toplab!............

.........During one of the lab stints I was in the heat of blog-bleaaah, when I got kicked out because of a shortage of computers for a class. Mehhh made in heaven at the time which caused serious disgruntlement on my part as I had to dump my half written rant.

"Yes and, why did this happen?"

Lets dig! It is possible that such a negative blog would have dampened the mood of my on-going upbeat blog, or perhaps in getting thrown out, I left the chips that were on my shoulder behind. Looking into these things only gives them more clarity, which in turn, makes them easier to accept and understand. The harder I polish, the more they shine.

A heartfelt thank you to those who made today (and this sickweek) so... extraordinary. Lesson learned; Never again will I take Toplab's health (nor my own!) for granted. We are ripping it up along the road to recovery.

My belief that everything happens for a reason has been re-enforced. Finding the reason is the adventure. A hero of mine puts his worldwide success and achievement down to these words;

"Pain is temporary, quitting lasts forever"

He is of course, The Lance Armstrong.

I say; "NEVER QUIT!

Withstand whatever pain is induced for there is ALWAYS reasoning behind it."

Cutting wires,

Button up and be on edge because October is upon us. Turn that frown upside down for it has brought a surprise; wireless Internet.

".......Surprise!"

It feels gratifying and fulfilling to have survived September in a 'disconnected' house.
'Skype' and those with it became accustomed to my constant 'offline' status, 'Bebo' basically abandoned me and 'Myspace' almost merged into 'Nospace'. To you, Lord/Lady Reader this may sound entirely dependant and petty of me, but it is the heartfelt truth. I need connection, without wires.

"....... Surprise"

Mr. Swissmem Stick spent September swanning around his swagger stick in hand, proud as punch that he was on show and in demand. The minutes wasted on; waiting for and logging onto the computers on campus and then then saving all necessary notes and whatnot to Mr. Swissmem would be interesting findings. Think, it would've allowed 'X' more minutes in bed or something else sincerely worthwhile.

"....... Surprise!"

Last year, while living on campus I was armed with broadband. This indeed beats the 'disconnected' status hands down. However, when there is a red snake stuck between your computer and the wall, it has it's restrictions. Now, there are no strings attached, literally. Within 10 minutes of getting connected I was giving Matt (my man) a tour of my house. Although he is on the other side of the pond (Amsterdam) we can now potter aimlessly about - together.

"....... Surprise!"

Agreed, no wires cost more then wires.
But, while spending a little extra on this walkabout connection one invests in time, understood?
And, I believe that time is invaluable in university, is it not?

"....... Surprise!"

Think of being connected in the kitchen, in the TV room, in the bed or even on the loo(?)! The opportunities are endless.
Do you want to walk, talk, work, eat, dance and read simultaneously?
Cut your wires and you've got it. Don't miss the connection train. Hurry!

The question is;
"Will my academic learning sky rocket or nose dive as a result of this?"

And the answer will mainly be determined by the degree to which I apply myself to my number one priority; which as of yet has to be decided!



So, my Lords and Ladies, I leave you with a little thought...


"Are you catching the wireless connection train?"


PS "....... Surprise!"
