I always wanna be someone.. and one of my dreams is to be an artist. But, I don't have anything that can make me an artist.

See for yourself....

A sketch I did while waiting for my students to finish their work.

Song : The Day You Went Away

Verse 1
Well I wonder could it be
When I was dreaming 'bout you baby
You were dreaming of me
Call me crazy, call me blind
To still be suffering is stupid after all of this time

Pre-chorus 1
Did I lose my love to someone better
And does she love you like I do
I do, you know I really really do

Chorus
Well hey
So much I need to say
Been lonely since the day
The day you went away
So sad but true
For me there's only you
Been crying since the day
The day you went away

Verse 2
I remember date and time
September twenty second
Sunday twenty five after nine
In the doorway with your case
No longer shouting at each other
There were tears on our faces

Pre-chorus 2
And we were letting go of something special
Something we'll never have again
I know, I guess I really really know

Chorus
The day you went away
The day you went away

Pre-chorus 1
Chorus

Bridge
Why do we never know what we've got 'til it's gone
How could i carry on
The day you went away
Cause I've been missing you so much i have to say
Been crying since the day
The day you went away

The day you went away
The day you went away

I heard this song again after quite some time..ahhh..sad sad song...

Pink Rose! This rose can no longer can be seen but it will always be remembered...sweet sweet day!

New shade
I tried a new eyeshadow shade today. I never used this colour before..dark green. Not bad!

Three different layers; very light brown, dark green and dark brown.

Eyes...

The Pen Is Mightier Than a Sword
So the saying goes...indeed the pen is mightier than a sword..though it can't hurt physically but it can cause emotional disruption.

As a teacher, I've injured lotsa students by giving them an X in thier written work.

Happy Birthday My Love!
Mood:  party time!
Today is Azam's birthday...due to the tight schedule and rain, we couldn't celebrate it outside. I thought of having his birthday at my mom's place, but the rainy season didn't allow us to do so (KK was badly flooded!)So, we bought a small cake (just enough for the 4 of us) and drinks...Anyway, the most important thing to do during any birthdays is singing the "Happy Birthday" song.

Azam is 10 today!He is a handsome young man now :)
He is the love of my life.
Happy birthday darling...

Raining cats and dogs!
Mood:  cool
It has been raining since 4.00 p.m...
and now at 11.08 p.m., it still rains....
there is water everywhere..
dried soil suddenly becomes pools of mud..
raindrops on window glass...
rhythmic sounds of rain on the roof...
wet air..cold..
makes me thinking of crawling under the blanket..
the warmth underneath..and....

Broken Pieces
When something is broken,
it goes into pieces,
it won't ever be the same again,
no matter how well we try to mend it.

Everything in life is fragile...

Jokes
Subject: Women are like Apples

Women are like Apples on trees. The best ones are at the top of the tree. Most men don't want to reach for the good one's because they are afraid of falling and getting hurt. So instead, they just take the rotten apples from the ground that aren't as good, but easy. The apples at the top think something is wrong with them, when in reality, they're amazing. They just have to wait for the right man to come along. The one who's brave enough to climb all the way to the top of the
tree.

Share this with women who are good apples, even those who have already been picked!

Now men ... Men are like a fine wine. They begin as
grapes, and it's up to women to stomp the shit out of them until they turn into something acceptable to have dinner with.

Sometimes
Mood:  not sure
Topic: Ramblings
Sometimes...
life feels so empty,
a meaningless journey
heading nowhere.
Looking at a blank space,
eyes closed.

Stand still..
time stands still,
as i recall yesterday memories.
Pictures of broken dreams...unbroken.

Here..
I am..
still...

After a While
Veronica Shoffstall

After a while you learn
the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul
and you learn
that love doesn't mean leaning
and company doesn't always mean security.
And you begin to learn
that kisses aren't contracts
and presents aren't promises
and you begin to accept your defeats
with your head up and your eyes ahead
with the grace of woman, not the grief of a child
and you learn
to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow's ground is
too uncertain for plans
and futures have a way of falling down
in mid-flight.
After a while you learn
that even sunshine burns
if you get too much
so you plant your own garden
and decorate your own soul
instead of waiting for someone
to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure
you really are strong
you really do have worth
and you learn
and you learn
with every goodbye, you learn...

? 1971 Veronica A. Shoffstall
