There is no easy road to freedom

The time for healing of the wounds has come.
The time to build is upon us...
We pledge ourselves to liberate all our people from the continuing bondage of poverty, deprivation, suffering, gender and other discrimination - there is no easy road to freedom...
None of us acting alone can achieve success. We must therefore act together as a united people, for reconciliation, for nation building, for the birth of a new world.

Nelson Mandela

No easy way to freedom... Emotional freedom in my case. A thing I can only dream of. No matter how hard I try to prove to myself (and others) that I am over him, that I don't care about him anymore... Reality is something completely different. I am still deeply in love with him and nothing that can chance those feelings... It's a knife that cuts deep into my heart and soul. I feel a big emptiness and a deep loss. My mind tells me to let go of it all, but the heart does not want listen. No matter how hard you try, it does not go away. The feeling stays and it even gets worse. I would give everything I have, everything I owe, just to have him by my side. Heart in agony, longing for something far away and out of reach.
Never felt the need to see him every day nor talk to him on the phone for hours. Probably because you know that when the need is there, you can just knock on his door. When that certainty is no longer there, the missing part starts. All the little things that seemed for certain are no longer certain. You start to realize what it meant to you and you know things will never be the same again. Things have changed. Whether you like it or not, that's just the way it is. You can accept it and just move on or you can fight for what you are worth. If you chose to fight, know that it will not be easy. When you bump your head to the wall, you will divided into two different persons. Person one, also called the brain or rational element, will say just to move on and stop wasting your emotions and energy. Second person is more stubborn and is called the heart or emotional element. This person is not easy to convince because no matter how much bruises, bumps or denial you suffer, it will keep hoping for a change. It keeps hoping that everything will become like the old days.
People always say that you should just move on and that time will heal your wounds. But hearing those words does not cut it when the pain is searching wounds in your heart. I do not care about what will happen tomorrow. I live one day at the time and all I want is this pain to go away today. All the feelings that I will feel tomorrow or the day after are still in the present. I will handle those when the time is there. But now I feel this pain today! Not yesterday, not tomorrow but now!

They say never to judge a book by its cover. So why are people judging me based on my looks? I may look innocent and all of that but I am not. Accept it and do not look shocked. Also never measure me with your own standards. The life I am living does not compare to your world. There is no single law that says you have to treat two different things equally. As a matter of fact, it is the opposite.
If you want to believe in something, a god or anything else, go ahead. I am not stopping you because everyone is free to believe in whatever he/she wants. But also respect my freedom to not believe in it. I do not need you to approve the way I live. If you do not like it, than look the other way but please do not start preaching. I chose another path a long time ago. I chose not to believe in the same thing as you did. Respect that and do not start a long sermon about me going to hell or about him loving everyone, also those who turned their backs on him. As I said, I chose not to believe in that a long time ago so all the words you are saying mean nothing to me. You cannot be loved by someone that does not exist.
If I am dirty, than that is my business. We live in different continents. What is common and accepted over here may not be over there. Open your eyes and realize that there are huge differences. Different cultures and different mentalities. You think yours is the only good one and I think you need to open your eyes and look past the familiar. We disagree but do not call me a sinner. Because if I am a sinner, millions others are sinners too. Open your eyes, see another world and no one is forcing you to like it, we only ask you to keep your mouth shut just the way we keep it shut when you start preaching your nonsense.
Yes I did have some adventures, some of y'all may know what kind of adventures. Does that make me a freak? Well if it does, than let's say 60% of the whole Western population (meaning Europe and America) is a freak. What I do is my business and no need from you to approve it. As long as it stays safe and it happens with mutual consent, than there is nothing wrong with it. You only live ones and you do not stay young forever so enjoy whatever comes your way. Even though I may be young, I know the path I have chosen and what the consequences may be but I have no regrets whatsoever. I am proud of who I am. If I disappointed you, well too bad...

Sale days have begun. Shopping has always been my cure for any kind of pain. But it is only temporarily. Once you get home, you start thinking about him again. Those clothes and perfume mean nothing anymore.
What I bought... Not much actually. A Dolce & Gabbana jacket. I saw that jacket like last month but I found it too expensive back then. Yesterday I saw it and fell in love all over again. I was so happy and also shocked that it was still there. One left! I was not really hoping it to be my size and when I saw it was... Oh boy my eyes were shining like the brightest star! It was actually the peak of my whole day, maybe even week. Sad hu? Finding a piece of tissue being the peak...
I also found a new perfume, Black Orchid by Tom Ford. I am sure y'all still remember Tom Ford. He was the designer of Gucci for quite a long time.
Talking about designers. Saturday I stopped by Wellens, a famous and expensive shop, and my mom said she saw the perfect shirt for me. I was like okay let me try it on. When I got to the fitting room, I think I almost had a heart attack! Did not pay attention to the print on the shirt at first but when I looked in the mirror, I saw the print being the face of John Galliano! I was like my eyes gotta be kidding me! Galliano? What is his excentric head doing on this shirt. Oh it's a shirt from his own label? Fine but that does not mean he has to pull a Paris Hilton and put his head on the shirt!

Friends are forever... Is that so? From what I experienced, friends are only for a certain time. People you trust the most are prepared to stab a knife into your back when they can advance. Or instead of confronting you with certain things, they rather thrive on fake information they received from other people. Is that how much they valued the friendship? Was it that less that it just can be distroyed by fake rumours? If that is the case, it was not real friendship and is not worth the energy and time to make things right again.
I haven't been the best friend myself. Instead of being happy that my girl got her intership, I am sulking because she is abandoning me and moving to a place far away instead of coming to see me! All those fun things we planned to do dissapeared like snow before the sun. But as a friend you should be happy and wish them good luck instead of being so selfish.

A lot of things are uncertain in life and we just have to accept that. We can all convince ourselves that we got everything in our own hands, but we all know that is not true.

Wishing y'all a good night and see you tomorrow...

Exams left : ZERO, NADDA, AUCUN!

Am lying on ma bed at da moment. Just exhausted. Cant stand on ma legs anymo. Good news is dat ma exams are ova. Ma last exam started at 15h30 nd I was still sitting dere at 19h00. Ev'ryone wrote like 13 pages nd I had like 4 pages... Well da oral... Most people were with him for 15 minutes cause he asked 'em a lot of questions nd when it was ma turn, I read what I wrote nd he just said "ok you can go". Once again, what does it mean? Does it mean dat wha I wrote down was so bad dat he didnt want to let me suffer once again by asking more questions??? Ok, amma stop woorying now cause dere is nuffin I can do to change it. Wait nd see. Aitie, ma rice pudding is ready so if y'all want to excuse me... lOl

One last time

What it do ma sweeties? In less than 20 hours ma exams are officially ova! Yay! But until then STRESS! Need to start ma last chapter -taking a short break at da moment- nd afta quickly jump into bed.

Looking ahead to ma vacation... Well shopping days start tomorrow so starting from Thursday I'll be hitting town daily... Its gettin a tradition! Ev'ry year da same thang! Last weekend of June: shopping nd Saturday evenin firework. Hopefully da weather will be great. Only one problem... Havent found anyone to join me yet... I'll just go alone, will probably see sum old, lost friends. Was hoping dat Peter could join me but he is still in Spain -or Portugal I forgot lOl-. I miss him!

Anyway, I asked a friend of me to hook me up with his cousin. Wont reveal his name but I can tell you he is on my hottie list. Yes y'all read dat correctly! As a matta of fact, he is ranked very high... lOl! Dats all am saying! I know dat sum fantasies better remain fantasies, but cant help it! Da guy is smokin hot nd I would be stupid to turn da fling down! C'mon... One "adventure" with one of da hottest guys eva... A gurl gotta have sum fun y'all!

Afta all da guy stuff Ive been through, am startin to see guys as objects. I dont want to trust 'em anymo. All I wanna do is play da exact same game like dey are playing. Seducing... Nuffin else. Using 'em for ma own pleasure nd benefits. But luv? Yh maybe dis one guy but its a one-way luv... Will I ever regret using a body just for pleasure? Am not living up to da traditional standards, dats for sure. Modern society? Certain thangs yes, otha ones no... Am just living ma own life.

Going back to my books for da last time

Peace

Thursday June 19th, 2008

Sum days ago I posted a song of Carlos Santana ft Jennifer Lopez nd guess who was in town today... J.Lo! Yh dats right! Jenny from da block was in ma town. Her hubbie Marc Antony was performing today nd she was here with him nd dey also brought deir babies.

Had an exam today. I saw da guy noting down -10. Wtf? What on earth does he mean with dat? Does he mean a 10? Does he mean minus 10? Does he mean less than 10? Its just weird! Well lets hope for a simple 10! I would be so happy with ma 10! Means I passed!

Am looking forward to September! I so wanna go to NYC! Shopping, sight-seeing,... but most of all hooping up with sum friends! Especially Chris! He is such a nice guy to talk to! Blunt nd straight forward. Nd did I mention good looking? Oh my! lOl -Yh I know he will be reading dis so I betta be nice-. Nah seriously. He is a nice guy nd he could help me with refreshing ma Swahili.

Am listening to Do Angels Cry by Lynden David Hall at da moment. We lost such a great talent when he passed away. I play his album Medicine 4 My Pain at least once a week nd I neva skip one single track. Dey are all great nd da lyrics got such a beautiful meaning.

Mourning

A short post today. First of all, I am going to kill every Italian citizen dat crosses ma path! Be warned. Same for every cheese head dat dares to laugh at me!

Before I round it up, I got a nice quote
Nothing travels faster than the speed of light with the possible exception of bad news, which obeys its own special laws.
by Douglas Adams
Im out - Peace

Back on track

Ive been naggin da past year ma exam schedules were so bad cus I only had 1 day to revise... Well dis time I had 17 days nd its even worse! Especially mentally. You have dat much time dat you always postpone it. Nd when you did find da courage to start, it goes so slowly cus dere is no time pressure. It makes you so lazy... Well anyway, ma next exam is dis Thursday. Last one is on Wednesday June 25th. So dats 5 days to rivise a 400 page course. Well it should be enough, but its a very though subject. Lets hope for da best...

Ok what am I going to do today? Going to read da last 90 pages of ma book -decided to run over da whole thang once again- nd dis evening am going to watch France. Lets hope dey go through or my eye candy will be kicked out of da tournament -snif snif-. But dat also means France must beat Italy nd Romania must loose... Fingers crossed!!! ALLEZ LES BLUES

Sumthang is smelling really bad at da moment. Rough guess: mom is preparing sparrow-grass. She really wants me death! No way I will eat dat stuff. I'll just grab some left-overs from lunch nd head back to ma room.

Its almost getting a tradition to post a song so cant stop now! Ma song for today is This Boy's Fire by Charlos Santana & J.Lo. Song is been released sum months ago nd I luv it.

Serious threats...

Note to all da Dutch guys: Y'all betta beat Romania so France can beat Italy! Am serious! France has to go to da quarter finals too! Nd if dey dont, den am never puttin a single foot on Dutch territory again!!! Dat means so expensive shopping trips in Amsterdam anymore. It will surely be bad for your economy!

Why I like France? Pretty easy to answer dat question. Dey got sum handsome playas of course! Why else do you think I torture maself 2 hours?! Ait ma new fav is Gomis. 22 y.o. nd such a cutie! He's got sprecial facial features dat make him look different dan otha playas. Either you hate it or you luv it. Dere is no in between. Nd I, I luv it. Plus he also got an skin tone as dark as da night.

I'll let y'all enjoy a lil bit

Da way he makes da second goal is kinda sexxi! Hate it or luv it, dats da way it it! Hes sexxi, athletic, dark nd tall. What more can you ask for? *Wink* His hair looks cute too, especially when it falls in front of his eyes.

What else... Hmmm I should be studying now lOl. Oh yh me nd ma gurl Lolu been chatting a bit nd she was going to see P-Square. She was going crazy! Yh girl I hope dat Paul proposed you to marry him or Peter agreed to dump his preggers wife for you! But she's right, dose guys look cute. One looks like da young Usher -Back in da days he was still cute, nowadays he is ugly. Either its me who switched interest or him who really did became ugly-.

But back to ma exams. 2 completed nd 2 more to go. First one was I-dunno-how-it-went. It was though. Had to write a paper in 4 hours. But before I could start writing, I had to look up da legislation nd jurisprudence. Oh my! Dat was a lot to search for! Nd after I did all da searching, I had to combine, interpretate nd give my own opinion! It wasnt an easy nut to crack. Second exam is one dat belongs in da category either-I-ruled-it-or-I-screwed-it-up. Dere is no in between! Or fantastic or catastrophic!

So now am going back to ma books. Ttyl

Euro 2008

Its like living in da far west... No one on da street... Except for one creature called WOMAN. Dis can only mean one thang: Euro 2oo8 has begun. All men are shackled before da television. For most of us, its a horrible time. Ev'ry channel is broadcasting it.

But on da otha hand, whats not to like bout it? I mean dose guys are in great shape. Deir legs are extremely muscled nd da bodies are buffed w/o being ova da top like a bodybuilder. Plus dose short shorts accentuate da huge nd extremely -nice- developped thighs -ma favourite thang bout 'em legs- *yum yum, drool drool*. Da shirt is nice fitted nd after a while it gets transparent due to da sweating. Dat way you can see da 6pack... See its not dat bad after all... *Wink*

So dis is da perfect excuse to start drooling over 'em muscled bodies -especially legs- nd set up ma own top 5 of desirable soccer playas! *Wink* [Click on name to see da pic]
  1. Emile Mpenza Photobucket
  2. John Utaka Photobucket -sorry Peter-
  3. Bafétimbi Gomis Photobucket
  4. Louis Saha Photobucket
  5. Didier Drogba Photobucket
Yh I know its a European Championship, Belgium isnt competing nd Saha/Drogba aint there, but who cares. Will find sum otha pair of legs to look at!

They just don't get it, do they?

Men nd subtle hints. Its a no go area... Dey just dont get it, do dey? Today I had a convo with "de guy". I gave him like da clearest hint you can ever give sumone nd he just did not get it!
  • "Are you seeing someone at the moment?"
  • "Why you asking?"
  • "You know I miss you..."
  • "Haha! You gorgeous"
I could have punched sumone at dat moment! Dat was like da clearest hint I ever gave sumone nd he didnt even get it! Nd nah he wasnt acting like he dindt understand it, he really didnt understand it. Oh he also asked me if I had sum hot friends so we could go out togetha -me nd ma gals, he nd his fellas-. He got da straight face nd an "I dont have (single) female friends". Yh Lolu but she aint in Belgium -luckily- cause damn dat wouldnt have worked out, would it gurlie?.

Aight what else. Oh yh I read an article about Donnie. Damn it was so deep! He was talking about deep issues - his sexuality nd social perceptions around black gay men -. I luv'd his CDs nd dis even makes me luv dem more. As sumone quoted: "Donnie doesn't simply sing his songs. He preaches, he shouts, he praises. he is the embodiment of a soul singer - the sound that is both the sinner and the saved - the choir boy who's been around the block". Nd its so true! Nuffin but respect for da guy.



Otha things... Duffy. Listened to Rockferry today. Its a fantastic album! She reminds me of da blue eyed soul from singers like Dusty Springfield. Ma favorite track was Hanging On Too Long thing. . Again it were da lyrics dat made me listen to it ova nd ova again. I been dere too. Felt da same.

Greatest X eva

Yesterday I popped Janet Jacksons latest CD Discipline in ma CD-playa. -Yh I still use dose prehistoric thangs.- Nothing special until I came to track 13 called Greatest X. For dose who know me personally know what has been going down lately with me nd sumone... So when I heard dis song nd da lyrics, tears started rollin ova ma cheecks. Damn she sings what I feel inside! Cannot imagine how much I still feel for dat guy... How it could/would have been if we were still togetha... I miss dose good ol' times... I want 'em back so badly! I cannot see maself with sumone else but him...
