For Real......

Heart Breaking

Just thoughts..

I got really busy the past few days and have not been able to post anything substantial..so here goes some random thoughts on paper..

I did not get to watch the Oscars but I did watch the major highlights--the dances and the big awards n such.. seems Slumdog and Rahman had a great night .. To be honest, it was nice to see a movie based on Indian reality win the number of awards it did..I don't think its the greatest movie I have seen or it deserved all the awards it won --neverthless I am thrilled :-))

I have noticed lately that so many things come my way that has the potential to irritate or annoy me when I am focusing on hearing God..It's like something comes my way--I start to fume which I always feel like I am justified--and then I get distracted..so these days I am trying to keep an even keel --couple of things happened this week that I am just wondering to myself what in the world is going on..and how should I react to all this?? so I ask God to give me wisdom...

so I spent a major chunk of time last nite w/ an amazing woman who is my rold model , friend, mentor rolled into one --Abigail.....I am always amazed by how much wisdom this lady posess..she is an extraordinary woman who is so full of power, love and strength..she comes into a room and the atmosphere just changes..Anywho, she is so great and loves me like her own child that I just had to mention her :-)

God has been so amazing..I just revel in his awesomeness as we speak..I just adore him cuz he is so real...some might wonder why is she always writing about God or even go as far as calling me a relegious fanatic ..but if you know me personally I'm not a bible thumper, bible bashing on your head kind of person..I have an amazing relationship w/ God and he is very real in my life and its impossible to keep that quiet..its kind of like this..if you were in a relationship and you are talking to someone--maybe a friend you most likely would mention his/her name..same thing here!!

Well that's it for now ----- from the one and only Anye ♥♥♥

Awesomeness

Ok I'm running out of blog titles !!

so serious...think I might have to make a blog series to combat my intellectual catastrophe..

thought I would keep mah blog updated on the happenings of the past few days..
*loved my long weekend thnx to presidents day--> gotta love mah presidents for that if not for anything else..
*enjoyed my time in DC--got back today!! tho I've been to DC couple of times, I was never the one to drive..so I was happy when I finally reached here cuz at times I wished someone else was there for me to take a break from the wheel..but all is good!!
*ate way toooooo much food..like for real..
*watched enough malayalam movies to last me for the next 2 years :-))
*b/w Happy Valentines Day Yall !!
*was watching Secret Millionaire series of Gurbaksh Chahal on youtube..pretty interesting stuff..many people were complaining how he milked so much publicity and gave little ..I mean its his money..what is to anyone what he does with it..I always find it funny how people say they would give to charity to those in need if they had more..I disagree !! not gonna happen..if you don't have something in it for you and no one is watching, you are not gonna give a penny that you din't give when you had less..
*wanted to watch 'A Cry from Iran,' but it seems its hard to get a hold of..I might just go ahead and buy a dvd..From reading the reviews it seems like it would be a good investment..
*umm plenty of random thoughts crossed mah mind this weekend as usual..doesn't seem necessary to pen all of that right now :-)) but I gotta admit I so don't wanna go to work tomorrow ..
*at the same time I'm excited cuz one of my closest friends flew to meet her Italian bf in chicago for Valentines day..How Romantic ..:-))
So, I'm excited to hear everything in detail during our goof off sessions at work..

So yeah, thats a couple of alphabets in the story that went down in Anye's life this weekend..

Kabul, Afghanistan

The link takes you to an amazing documentary on Kabul.. kind of reminds you of the latter half of The Kite Runner..Its amazing how life is different from one part of the world to the next..How life changes so quick!! One minute you are on the top of the world, and the next you are struggling to get through the day..My heart goes out to the millions of Afgans who don't have a say in the matter, but stoically accept their fate..A reality that gets forgotten in the midst of a hopeless war, and the cruel ambitions of the Taliban...

IMPROV!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Qoute of the Day!!

“I have missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I have lost almost 300 games. On 26 occasions I have been entrusted to take the game winning shot . . . and missed. And I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why . . . I succeed.”
Michael Jordan

I stole this from RagamuffinSoul whom I gotta admit I love cuz hez so Retro ..The guyz a genius!! :-))..

I posted the quote cuz it spoke to me..No matter what the situation might look like, I'm on the winning side as long as I don't throw in the towel...Perfection might be mah aim, but direction keeps me going...even tho I laugh @ Pastor Joel Austin all the time, something always stuck w/ me about his optimistic messages..I always tell myself that I need to speak life, and not despair and death..Negativity or Pessimism is never gonna get us anywhere..On the contrary it kills what little hope seed that was rooted in our hearts..cuz you kill your hope w/ your words ---cuz whats in your heart comes out OF your mouth..

A lot of the times we are negative of what could happen or what happened or where our life is headed.. even if we failed 50 times, it does not mean that we are gonna fail the next time around....we might have to do something diff to keep ourselves motivated, but we can do it !!!

awwwww ..Hilarious!!

Sabath Post:-))

K, I guess I'm gonna make this a Video blog (does not mean that would be the final format) I might add stuff depending on what I feel like, but mainly I might post videos I find interesting and add some of my own commentary to it..I might put up some of my my own videos ..We'll see!

I have known about the pagan writers such as Josephus, and what they have said about the historical Jesus (Lee Strobel kind of emphasises in his book, Case for Christ) but this person on the video does an excellent job in bringing together the facts. I might dig deeper in the future, but for now take a look..

Reflections Part ll

We are fortunate to have the freedom we have where we been placed..Many who have never travelled or been exposed to other cultures rarely understand the persecution that goes on around the world...I have grown up hearing stories, and witnessing people who have been thrown out, punished for believing what they do..This video is precious...

Reflections on a beautiful Saturday!!

So last night, I watched a movie I promised myself I would watch a long time ago: Requiem for a Dream....Man, was it intense!! When I started the movie I was like, What in the world have I got myself into..but as the movie unravelled, I was totally amazed by the directors vision..I mean if my parents ever wanted to scare the living heck out of me in regards to being addicited to anything whatsoever -->all they had to do was play the movie.. so any one out there who has kids or plan to have kids, play it for the rug rats..I'm playing :-))

but yah, totally a reality check..if you are not into the whole real life scene, this movie is probably not for you..not exactly mill of the night entertainment movie..but made me reflect on the culture a bit..this lady in her 50's at one point is asking her son what the point of her life is..that she has nothing to live for..and sadly a lot of folks out there in the world would say the same...my heart goes out to them cuz that is a choice that they made..those of us who are young and are busy living it up gotta stop and think that our future is determined by the choices we make today..so if you waste the minutes of your life away, just remember you are not getting it back..

I was looking back on my life on my 28th birthday, and I regretted the past 3 years of my life cuz all I did was work, chill with my friends, and live it up(mind you, I was never into the whole smoking, drinking, clubbing scene--more into being active and doing things that are adrenaline pumping) ..I continously reap the benifits of that commitment by means of a paycheck I recieve every 2 weeks..thats not what I want to be defined by..I had vision, something I was working towards, but I forgot it in the midst of my busy schedule...God brought someone into my life at the right time to waken me up to the reality of The Great Commision..It's amazing how God works cuz his timing IS PERFECT..The man was brouhgt into my life for a brief second to remind me what I once stood for..I decided to get my act together which is not to let life pass me by without having something to say about it..If you want more out of life, have a bigger vision and work towards it..

Ruminations

This month is gonna fly by like a paper plane on motor..but still got 24 digits to go!! I am a tranced passenger of my own life..It's like I live a continous stream of deja-vu's..And a lot of the times I wanna wake myself off my deja-vu's so that I can breathe in the stark reality of my precious experiences..That aside, my heart aches for the land beyond the eye can see.. ever since the new year has dawned, I have this deep desire to go to a far away land; a place where I have never been to, to be with a people I have never known.. I pray God hears my hearts cry !!!!

God, I just wanna tell you that I don't know why you love me the way you do.. I honestly am the least worthy person of all that I know, but for some reason you love me despite of myself..You keep, keep, keep, keep putting my feet on rocky ground..shaming me with your blessings and mercies.. honoring me in ways my heart can't grasp..ohh, I bow my head and my knees cuz what else can I do?? What would I do without you Abba??

Another Video :When the Thrill is Gone :JR

It seems as though this is becoming a video blog, since I have posted three videos in 2 days :-))..I'm still contemplating what the purpose or theme of this blog is to be..I am sure my impulsive nature will come up with an impulsive idea soon enough..

In the mean time, I just wanna share a tiny piece of meself to the world of bloggers: I love sad songs, or melodies that are lyrically penetrating..I write poems: but it almost always has an aura of the unknown or a whiff of sadness: even when it tackles an uplifting subject...crazy thing is I get a lot of 'You are genuinely a happy person'..
So Now You Know!!

Newho, this song has that heart wrenching soul penetrating melody to it even when it's talking about something sooooooooooooo awesome...luv the music JR makes, and luv this song!!!

I Can't help it..I ♥ Love Songs :-))

My thoughts!!

I just love the idea of having my own room in cyberworld that I keep signing on to see how my one post and video are doing :-))I even cut my normal workout regimen to come home to check my blog.. I am soo proud of my baby!!!!

so I was like: Why don't I write couple more gibbergabber posts, and make myself even more excited...

then I thought to myself , do I see a trend here?? ahh, the tendencies of a microwave generation-ist...see, I felt a high creating a blog..and I'm basically searching for that momentary happiness that I experienced doing so..when I am done w/ my lil blog craze, what will I go running after to give me a new kick??

Wisdowm started talking to me...> a new pair of shoes might suffice one day, maybe a great conversation w/ a friend the next, a brilliant prank on a co-worker the day after..but what about on a day you are home alone all by yourself...are you at peace w/ yourself ?? Are you happy when there is nothing going on days on at a stretch?? when the tides of your life seem to have no major waves crashing against each other..

I know what I expect of myself..I value consistency..I have taught myself not to put emphasis on emotions.. cuz one moment I could be happy, the next-sad, angry, hungry, weak, strong...emotions change like fashion on a Parisian runway..it takes consistency to be faithful to a cause, a friend, a child, a spouse....

even so I still did find myself riding on a high of tiny conquests and victories and shared glories... nothing wrong in enjoying our precious time the one above has bestowed on us, but at the same time I along w/ you need to be faithful to our commitments, rather than letting our lives ride on a plateau of conquests..

I made a commitment to study the word and pray daily on a deeper level last yr after a yr of 'bless me' prayers due to my so called busy schedule... but some things need wisdom.. You might have to re-adjust your life a bit to be consistent to your commitment.. so tonight I urge YOU (which most likely is ONLY myself lol) to re-think the priorities in your life... Life is gonna go by like that of a lily in a field..Are you putting enough energy into the things that are important ?? Are you doing something about the things that you are passionate about.. Or are you pushing those things aside for another day..

Let Me Tell You Something: THAT DAY IS TODAY!!!!!!

So Imma let you go to sleep, my sweet lil blog, and me gonna go speak to mah master and friend..Peace yall!!!!!!!

Getting Started...

I have been to a number of blogs that have been inspiring..As a person who is known to have views and ideas of my own, thought I would put my own 2 cents out there in the realm of the unseen..:-))
I am excited about this venture, and hope it will be the case as time goes by....Peace!!

luv, luv, luv
