Do Dreams Really Come True?

I’m interested to know if a dream you have had has come true or anything remotely similar to the dream has happened in your life?

Recently I had a rather strange dream, everything seems to be piecing together exactly like the dream..

It happens me a lot, mostly silly small things, but they do come true?

Why do we dream and what exactly do they mean? Is it our subconcious mind working overtime??

I know if we tend to be worried about something we will dream of something related to that problem, well, I do anyway.. let me hear your thoughts..

Big Brother is Baaaaaaack!

This time round, the house is all about fun and frolics! Or so we keep hearing!!

Hurrah! Big Brother 8 is almost apon us!! The countdown is on! I’m going to be clued to the TV again starting from 8.30pm tonight!

It seems the house is radicall different from previous years, and the housemates will soon discover nothing is where it should be!

A giant roll-top bath takes centre stage in the pink living room, while the fridge/freezer is in the garden. Even stranger, there doesn’t seem to be an oven, and the kettle and toaster are locked away in a perspex box!

So…..is there a kitchen????

Will all be as it seems??

I’ll keep you updated!!

Lindz and Calums Bunkfest

I’m so jealous of Lindsay Lohan!

New celeb lovebirds Lindsay Lohan and Calum Best simply can’t keep their hands off each other! It must be a case of absence makes the heart grow fonder for the Love Island star and the means girls actress, who have rekindled their romance after having a brief fling last summer..

However, it seems Calum is following in his father George’s footsteps.. bedding every woman within his reach!

News in Numb3rs!

Weird and useless facts..

Thanks to Zoo….

2.5 Days wasted annually by the average Brit waiting for websites to load.

UK’s New Super Sub

So, the Royal Nacy commanders believe their new attack submarine, HMS Astute, will make Britain ‘the Manchester united of submarine nations’. Eat this, America.

The Astute cost £1.2bn and took 40 months to build. It is jet-black and is 12 storeys high, 100 metres long and 10 metres wide. It weights 7,675 tons, as much as 65 blue whales.

Brtiains first stealthsub is so quiet it makes less noise in the water than a baby dolphin – now that’s pretty cool..

The navy has ordered four Astute Class subs. HMS Astute is the first and will begin sea trials next month – HMS Ambush, Artful and Audacious will follow.. just me, or are these names absolutely ridiculous???

Anyway, the article I read goes on and on about how good this new sub is, but, the main downfall, it can only hold 98 men!

On the upside, it can operate for 25 years with running out of fuel, thanks to the power output of its nuclear reactor.

I’m home!

Home sweet home… god I can’t believe how green ireland is! I know people joke about the fact that it is green but honestly you don’t realise it when you live here! being away for the best part of a year all in has made me appreicate this beautiful country much much more! Excuse the spelling, watching tele while typing! not really thinking straight, jetlagged etc!

Will blog again soon.. must upload some pics too.

Home tomorro!

So, I’m feeling much better today.

Woke up this morning, headed to ‘my place of worship’ – aka, the beach.. came back to my place and took a swim.

I never realized how therapeutic swimming was. It’s fab!

Anyway, I leave the Middle East tomorro, good or bad? I dunno, but what I do know is I can’t wait to get back to Ireland to see my family and friends.

What am I leaving behind that I came here with?

My ex for a start…….

Perhaps also my heart – altho it is with someone else in a whole other continent! my mind? I think I lost some brain cells along the way? junk? stuff that I no longer need – I guess I should really get packing tho.

Losing Faith

Ok, this is all gonna sound like the ramblings of a mad woman.. but I need to get this all out or I’m heading for a nervous breakdown….really!

Before my grandfather died I attended church regularly and was a devout Chrisitan. After my grandfather developed cancer I lost complete faith in the church. How could this man who had raised me like a father been suffering so much? He never had a cigarette in his life, he enjoyed the odd pint but enough to make him develop cancer?

Yet, once again due to circumstances out of my control – I have yet again been tested. My faith has been tested. And right now I think God sucks. I think he gives people joy and then takes it away from them and laughs about it….sound pathetic? Yeah I know if does, but how can you give someone the best week of her life and then within a month change it all to mean absolutely fucking nothing!?

Enough bullshit about – you make your own choices in life. We don’t , God has a plan for all of us, I believe that, but does he have to be so god damn friggin cruel? I don’t think I can take anymore of his life tests.

I just want an easy life. . . enough of this testing me shite. I’ve been through enough in my years. I think since the age of 3 I’ve had one good year. I’ve never met anyone who can truly make me feel happy until this one person and yet again , they have been taken away from me……..

Here’s what I think of life – it truly fucking sucks!

And yeah I feel like shit today.

My place of worship

This morning, I got up at 5am. The sunrise was beautiful so I headed to the beach. I’m lucky that it is a few minutes walk from my apartment, however, this morning I was feeling a little low so I expected to stay their for awhile. I ended up spending 4 hours sitting on the beach – yes – four hours, 2 of those were spent walking – the other 2 sitting.

It really is the most peaceful place on earth. I guess being a water sign, that’s why I love it so much. It really allows me to gather my thoughts and try and work things out in my head, it doesn’t always work – a bit like today but I did however, feel much better.

I am a Scorpio

So, a few of you have said that my blog is pretty cool but weird. Let me explain a little bit about myself.

I am a scorpio.

 

 

A scorpio is a sign of the zodiac which I follow very closely.

According to astrology.com and a few other webpages..

The Seducer of the Zodiac, Scorpio is ruled by PLUTO, and its symbol is the SCORPION. Its natural place is the EIGHTH HOUSE, the house of Passions — Sex, Birth, and Death. Intense Scorpio is a WATER sign, secretive and magnetic. Strong-willed Scorpio’s heart is closed to all but an intimate few — but its still waters run deep.

Scorpio is also a fixed water sign. There are two other water signs, Cancer and Pisces. Of all the water signs, scorpio is the one that wants to be emotionally involved. Once they’ve been pushed beyond their endurance, they are the most likely of the water signs to fight back. Scorpios need most to be understood, and this challenges them because what they feel is so deep and often profound that they have difficulty communicating it. Often they’d rather not speak at all than be misunderstood. Lacking the the ability to communicate his/her true needs, the Scorpio may instead demand attention and/or obedience.

Don’t avoid the Scorpio woman and don’t underestimate her! She is strong, straightforward, with no obsolete ideas, but often with no courage. However, if she follows her heart, the Scorpio woman will be an overwhelming feminine presence ever since adolescence, extremely sensual and natively provocative, well put together, exciting, with or without strange clothes, but definitely with a strange vocabulary! The Scorpio woman is made to be loved, looked for and respected for the pleasures she can offer. If she also educated, what else can a man ask for?

Scorpio is associated with intensity, passion, and power. Individuals born under this sign are thought to have a complex, analytical, patient, keenly perceptive, inquisitive, focused, determined, hypnotic, and self-contained character, but one which is also prone to extremity, jealousy, envy, secretiveness, possessiveness, cruelty, humor and cunning

Scorpio women are emotional and loving, but above all else, they can be demanding. The man who wins the love of a Scorpio woman will have to be able to hold his own ground against her. She has no qualms with telling him exactly what he can and cannot do if he wants to keep her. What would make a man love a Scorpio woman? He loves her because she is amazing, mesmerizing, and irresistible. She can do it all – from entertaining in the living room and being exciting in the bedroom. A Scorpio woman thinks very highly of love and she has no problem attracting suitors. When she finds someone she thinks is worthy of her love, she will turn on the charm. But she is not looking for anything casual, so if you are – look elsewhere. She desires a close, committed relationship and won’t stop looking for one until she finds it. Once she does, she is a very faithful and passionate lover.

Scared? Lol.. All of the above is me! All of it! Right down to the very last sentence!

Understanding Men

Mars, Venus ‑- who cares where we’re from. We’re all on Earth now, and it sure would be nice to connect with each other, right? But, honestly, how the hell do these guys think in this day and age?? What happened to the simple; I like you, I want to have a relationship with you? Now we get sent, quotes from movies, song lyrics or even better ———————————————————– nothing at all!

Shouldn’t men just come with an instruction manual?? Or a mood ring??

Most days, we don’t even know what to say to them?? How exactly do they think?

And ladies – if you follow star Signs, unless you’ve got lots of patience and enjoy going with the flow, stay away from Aquarius men, they’ve got to be the most confusing of all star signs.. and I thought Pisces were bad.. nope, these guys have got a whole other meaning in life, they are however very sweet and I reckon if you have the patience and the willpower – they are a pretty good ‘catch’.

Single: Good or bad?

A wise woman once said; ”For most of our adolescence we want to be older than we are: We buy Seventeen magazine when we’re twelve, finagle fake IDs so we can get into twenty-one-and-over clubs when we’re seventeen. Once we’re in high school, we want to skip on ahead to college (and college boys). We don’t take the time to just be single and enjoy life. Rarely do we sit back and enjoy where we are right now.”

The thing I love about being single right now is the following:

1. Not having to get up every morning and think; what do I wear?!
2. Going out whenever I want, even at midnight. Nobody is waiting for me to get home.
3. Eating salad for dinner – Busting out a low-fat salad for dinner doesn’t really work for a guy.
4. Plucking my eyebrows for hours on end without someone asking what the heck is going on in there.
5. Spending hours and hours in the bathroom, doing whatever I fancy..

The thing I hate about being single is the following;

1. Coming home to an empty house..

2. Not having those nights in were nothing else matter except you and him…

3. Curling up on the sofa, in front of the fire and having ‘snuggles’

– sorry guys, I’ve always called hugs ‘snuggles’. It kind of stuck

4. Having moments when you do something silly and you know not to even look up cus they will be laughing at you in a cute way

5. When all you want is a hug or a shoulder to cry on but instead you’ve got the dog that never shuts up licking your face!

6. When you’ve spent the whole day cleaning and all you want is to climb into the bath and soak up the bubbles together

7. Those romantic walks you take along the beach when you wish there was someone there walking beside you

8. That sunset that is just so beautiful it makes your toes curl.

9. The movie that you just watched would have been so much better had you not watched it on your own.

10. When all you want is just a hug and be told everything will be all right.

You see – there are more reasons why being single sucks!

Packing up and Shipping Out

So, my year in the Middle East has come to an end..I’m packing up and moving on… back to Ireland for the summer.

The last 6months have been a rollercoaster of a ride for me, meeting new people, ending a relationship and almost finding someone to start a new one.

As I start to pack everything away I realise that the stuff I brought here with me is not the stuff that makes me happy anymore, the teddy I’ve had from the age of 2 is no longer a comfort to me, it merely brings a smile to my face. Or the jewellery that my ex bought me, I don’t even wear any longer. Perhaps the little things that seem like nothing are the things that have been holding me back. It’s time to get rid of all the gifts my ex bought me and move on! This is a new beginning for me.. back to Ireland, sort myself out and get over the fact that he cheated on me more than enough times.

The clothes that I first wore when I came here are no longer me, I’m amazed at how much being away for these last 8 months has changed me as a person, perhaps I’m beginning to finally find who I am..what makes me tick? who i truly love?

I guess it all comes back to the fact of letting go and moving on.. I suppose there comes a time in your life when you realise who matters, who never did, and who always will……. and as a wise man once said, ‘don’t worry about the people from your past, there’s a reason why they didn’t make it to your future’.

Live life to the fullest! I guess that is what I’m gonna do from now on..

I can’t wait til I get on that plane – and that is a first because I have a serious fear of flying!

The Holiday

Review:

Starring; Cameron Diaz, Jude Law, Kate Winslet and Jack Black

There haven’t been that many decent romantic comedies with a holiday theme in recent years, so when one comes along that’s adorable, entertaining, and requires absolutely no brain power to enjoy, it’s tough to pass it up…

A few weeks back, I settled down on my couch, with some chocolate (of course, every woman has to have chocolate watching a good movie)

I’ve never found Jude Law attractive – until now………..

Wow, seeing him in this movie really blew me away!

Amanda (Cameron Diaz) lives in an exclusive neighborhood in Los Angeles and owns a hugely successful company that puts together trailers for movies. Iris (Kate Winslet) lives in a small community outside of London and works as a wedding columnist for the Daily Telegraph. Both ladies are fresh out of troubled relationships and heading into the holiday season without much to look forward to.

On impulse, workaholic Amanda decides to get away from it all. An online ad promoting house-swapping catches her eye and after exchanging instant messages with Iris, the two decide to really switch things up by swapping lives for a couple of weeks.

This is must see… after it ended, I just hit play again and watched it all over again..

My rating: 10/10

Sex before Marriage – Right or Wrong?

So, the BIG question? I can see both sides of the coin.

As far as I see; sex is a natural thing that happens between two people that care about each other. So, why shouldn’t they express their feelings physically?

But I also believe that giving you pure body to your new spouse is the greatest gift you could possibly give them. It says that “I knew I would find the perfect mate some day and I saved myself for you”. That is so much better than, “I got tired of waiting so I gave it away to three other guys before I met you”.

Then there is the other issue of religion but regardless of religion, God’s will sometimes doesn’t have the power to stop raging hormones or a deep love for someone.

So.. is it right or is it wrong?

I’m adding this on because someone stated that, if you waited until you got married you could be sexually incompatible.

I don’t actually agree that anyone is sexually compatible – well, not at first.
Obviously, you have confident and overconfident people.. and then the opposite those that are reserved….
Two people will grow to know each other and what satisfies each other..

Captivity – Let them go!

When are people going to stand up and speak out for these helpless animals?

”A newborn killer whale found bleeding on a Mexican beach has become the centre of an international controversy over whether she should stay in Mexico or be sent to a US marine theme park.

Killer whales, the largest and most intelligent members of the dolphin family, live in tight-knit pods that can travel 75 miles (120km) a day in search of prey. ”Scientists would have to find Pascuala’s family and hope it would accept her.”

Of course they will friggin accept her!?! Jesus, I hate these lame ass excuses these people make up just so that they make a lil money! For gods sake, just what we need.. another poor animal put into a tank that won’t be cleaned, it will have nothing natural in it and won’t even be big enough to feel like home…….

I’m sick of it… truly… god help these poor creatures..

Dealing with Grief

Back in my teenage years, I lost a dear friend. One of the best friends I had in fact.

I woke up to find my mother at the kitchen table, shaking – my father beside her -something very weird……..

What on earth was my father doing here? I couldn’t understand what was wrong.

My father came over and for the first time in 13 years sat me down on his knee, ok, this is bad I thought. I knew someone was dead.

He said, ‘we have some bad news about Kirsten.’ I said what is it? He said, ‘she commited suicide last night’.

I remember my whole world turning upside down in that moment, the next thing I knew I was being violently sick, the tears didn’t come until after.

It turned out that Kirsten had taken her grandfather’s gun and shot herself in the head. To this day, I have no clue why. She never told me of any problems she was having, nor did it seem ever like anything was wrong.

I still think about her smile and how she used to make me laugh. . . however, I don’t think I ever got over it or the feeling of guilt that in some way I could have prevented it.

10 years on and I still wonder why?

I lost my grandfather 6 years ago and I feel at ease now with his death. I know he is not suffering anymore and I know that he wouldn’t want me to be sad. But, are there two types of grief? Why do I feel so different about one death and so different about the other?
