The Princess and the Frog

So we all know the once upon a time story

of how the princess kissed a frog and that frog

turned into a handsome prince who married her

and they lived happily ever after.

Well,I recently came across a different version of the story

THE BEGINNING

THE END

Now i found myself wondering

why do i have to kiss a frog why cant I kiss a prince(beautiful inside and out)

and live happily ever after

are there any princes out there or are there only

frogs out there,former princes who due to

unforseen circumstances are currently not in their best form?

But now this new phenomenon has arisen

the princess kisses a frog and gets turned into a frog

The princess kisses the frog and instead of the royal habits being passed on to the frog

so he cn return to his princely form ,the frogs habits are passed onto the princess, who

no longer recognises herself nor exists because she has compromised

and changed herself to suit the frog.

And hey this frog and prince theory for me does

not only apply to guys.I have come to realise that

it can apply to so many things;

Before you find out what food is your favourite

you would have to have sampled a couple

same goes for music

Before you decide on which subjects to take/drop in high school

a couple of subjects had

been forced on you

I see the plus side now that I did not see then

Most of the time before one figures out what they are good at ,be it sports,cooking,singing,playing an instrument,socialising,eating

One ends up trying out a couple of things most of which may not go as planned.

It never hurts to have choices so that one is not left wondering

what the answers are to several What If questions.

So am I destined to kiss a couple of frogs before I meet my prince

leave alone the literal meaning

my definition of a frog

DISCAIMER:The opinions given are from a personal point of view,u are free to agree or diagree

1. (person)not THE ONE ——–call me oldfashioned bt i still think that the day you meet the one you’ll know it!ok but with time i have come to rephrase that to mean you’ll find out sooner than later.—–>in summary If he’s not the one he is a frog.
2. (Talent)All those activities you try out for and even after putting in effort,you realise you  are not quite cutting it.Still in search of my special talent may be 1 or more.But just cause the talent is there doesnt mean it should make it easier you reap what you sow.
3. (Career)We all love money,yet to meet someone who doesnt.All those jobs you do that are just not satisfactory be it in terms of money,challenge,growth,level of interest and so many other things.
4. (Food)This could be just me but at a buffet i like to try out like everything whether i havent tried it out before or whether it has a name i havent heard of and especially if its sea food that looks odd except if its raw,this most of the time results in stomach upsets and funny stares from strangers but I can say as a result i know quite a number of things that I can classify as in my’favouritefood’ category
5. (Supreme being)I believe in God.I have always thought that if i was born in a different family,i might have been Muslim,Buddist,Hindu or an Atheist.All in all I believe that all beings have a void that can only be filled by God.We kiss a couple of frogs in search of something to fill that void but eventually we realise there is a Higher Being who is the key to a blissful existence.

More often than not if a person of good character meets a person of poor character and they spend loads of time together the good character is corrupted by the poor character and rarely the reverse which is why it is easier for a good girl to go bad than a bad girl to good.

So I’m getting a bit tired of kissing frogs but I know that just means I’m closer to finding my prince.I just hope I dont get turned into a frog in the process.

will you be my valentine?

A while back ,I confessed in another forum,that I had never had a valentine,

whether this is still true is debatable…my idea of a valentine

has been challenged over the years…Why this has just occured to me now I dont know

from the onset my idea of a valentine was a guy i fancied showering me with gifts,

consisting of things i really like,notflowers;

( have no idea how i would carry those around unless i was in the house,chilling),

taking time out of a busy schedule to spend the day with me simply because it was valentine’s day.

The closest I came to this was early this year,which due to out of

my control circumstances didn’t work out as planned.

So last i week i was perusing a certain magazine (name withheld)

that had an article on traditions of

valentines in the middle ages and how they have evolved since

i found this rather interesting and did a bit of research,

which  i thought would be great general information.

In the middle ages,young men and women drew names from a bowl to see who their valentines would be.

They would wear these names on their sleeves for one week,which is where the term is seen to be derived from.

To wear your heart on your sleeve now means that it is easy for other people to know how you are feeling.

Others believed that if a woman saw a robin flying overhead on Valentine’s Day,she would marry a sailor.

If she saw a sparrow, she would marry a poor man and be very happy.

If she saw a goldfinch, she would marry a millionaire.

If she saw a Dove ,it would bring happiness ,she would marry a kind hearted man.

If she saw an owl she would not get married.

this ‘superstitions’ for lack of a better word have evolved and

From the ancient art of Ornithomancy it is now believed that

a robin signified a future husband would earn his living through water, as a fisherman or a naval officer

a finch signified a future husband would work in a sociable profession such as hairdressing or sales

a bird of prey signified a future husband to be a politician, businessman or a gentleman with leadership qualities.

a common garden sparrow signified a future husband to be one who works on the land (e.g farmer or gardener)

an elegant swan signified a future husband to be a man with artistic tendencies, good with words or a paintbrush.

a peacock signified a future husband who takes pride in his appearance

a pheasant signified a future husband who is a hard-worker and a person who doesn’t give up easily.

a woodpecker signified continued life as a singleton, at least for the coming year.

a crow signified an omen that it was time to walk away from a current romantic involvement.

and finally a duck signified that she would soon find herself in a stable loving relationship.

I found this oddly interesting though a tad on the ‘superstitious’ side.

then I came across what different meanings can be perceived from different flowers

(yes not only roses are romantic)

Bleeding Heart = Hopeless, but not heartless.

Gardenia = I love you secretly.

Gladiolus = You pierce my heart.

Lily-of-the-Valley = Let us make up.

Rose – I love you passionately.

Sweet William = You are gallant, suave and perfect.

Violet = I return your love.

Green leaves represented hope in a love affair.

although i have probably never seen most of these flowers i found the thought extremely sweet.an aaaaaaaw moment!

At the end of the day,although it took me a long time to realise :valentine’s is what you make it ,it doesnt have to be the

day when one showers another with tokens and gifts signifying their undying love (although if it is,good on ya mate!),

for me it has been unbeknown to me a day i have shared with my loved ones familyandfriends time and time again.

I pray I never take that forgranted and show and feel love throughout the year.

Today i have felt love hence the mushiness.Until next time.P-E-a-C-E.

BOY MEETS GIRL

!here we go again!bet thats what you’re thinking right now!but can this boy meets girl story ever get old??I would like to think it will; but well today is not the day It does for me at least  l.o.l smiley face.

So i was sitting in my room thinking why does my heart feel so heavy?maybe its just one of those days then

i think hey,I know: is Alejandro thinking about me as much as am thinking about him now? could i be destined to be the proverbial #”mpango-wa-inbox”?

where is all this coming from i wonder, lets just say today i was brave enough to ask Alejandro to declare his wealth on phasebook after which i quickly deleted my post.Blame it on phasebook!

why?well lets just say i thought to myself; if he wanted to ,he would have alerted the whole world by now, that I was his girl, i must have read that in a book somewhere n i dont read much,so must have been a really good book!so if he hasnt what exactly does that say???i mean I’m not going 2 force a declaration but honestly I am kinda crushed.Feeling soo B-L-U-E.Time will tell ,I’m soo in love with that boy #terererenten

I mean why can’t life be as simple as a soap opera swoon

you know the whole: love conquers all.

I am starting to think that true love doesnt exist ,

that pure perfect endless kind of love,

offcourse apart from God’s love

to which nothing compares!I dont believe a picture can capture even a glimpse of how deep God’s love is for us.

Yet though God is love,and we,made in his Image,I havent given back that love ,Today I haven’t loved like I’ve Never been hurt,I haven’t NOT kept a record of wrongs,I haven’t been completely honest,I haven’t NOT been envious,I havent NOT been easily angered,I havent trusted,I havent hoped and I havent perservered in whatever life throws at me!

I want to love/to have love/to give love/to feel love through times, the best and the worst,

like it happens in the soap operas

case in point  “sanay wala nang wakas” otherwise

known as Timeless/I wish it would never end!

I want to be

fun-loving,outgoing,bold/daring,innocent,honest,

humble,smart,sexy,wild,beautiful all in one

Still,I want to believe in the fairytale romance.

How prince charming comes and sweeps me off my feet and i fall head over

heels in love and we live happily ever after!

but then again Life is no soap opera!

and maybe today is not such a good day
