A for amazing.

there is no ignoring nature in s. america. suriname sits just south of the equator... so, to me, nature was THAT much more present since people live such a minimal lifestyle vs. how we live here in the states. it's easy to ignore a bird when all you hear/see are cars and busses. i was in awe of it all the time; from the plants, flowers, fruits, birds, rain showers and subsequent rainbows. every morning there were 3 or 4 birds having conversations outside my window and it was great to be reminded of their presence. here's some shots i snapped during my stay: dolhpin'sfiya lobbie; my grandma had it growing in her backyardtropical rainforest greenery all arounddelicious custardapple, read up on it here

-the Alchemist by Paulo Coelho

"The secret is here in the present. If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it. And, if you improve on the present, what comes later will also be better. Forget about the future, and live each day according to the teachings, confident that God loves his children. Each day, in itself, brings with it an eternity."

"hangin' tough" literally.

"step by step..day by day"!!! that new kids on the block jacket was my prized posession. then one day our family went to, what i used to call row boat peddle boat in SF, and a pigeon took a dump on me..... and my favorite jacket.

true, true and true.

saw this on a blog: "9 Words Women Say"

(1) Fine: This is the word women use to end an argument when they are right and you need to shut up.

(2) Five Minutes: If she is getting dressed, this means a half an hour. Five minutes is only five minutes if you have just been given five more minutes to watch the game before helping around the house.

(3) Nothing: This is the calm before the storm. This means something, and you should be on your toes. Arguments that begin with nothing usually end in fine.

(4) Go Ahead: This is a dare, not permission. Don’t Do It!

(5) Loud Sigh: This is actually a word, but is a non-verbal statement often misunderstood by men. A loud sigh means she thinks you are an idiot and wonders why she is wasting her time standing here and arguing with you about nothing. (Refer back to # 3 for the meaning of nothing.)

(6) That’s Okay: This is one of the most dangerous statements a women can make to a man. That’s okay means she wants to think long and hard before deciding how and when you will pay for your mistake.

(7) Thanks: A woman is thanking you, do not question, or faint. Just say you’re welcome. (I want to add in a clause here - This is true, unless she says ‘Thanks a lot’ - that is PURE sarcasm and she is not thanking you at all. DO NOT say ‘you’re welcome’. That will bring on a ‘whatever’).

(8) Whatever: Is a woman’s way of saying F—- YOU!

(9) Don’t worry about it, I got it: Another dangerous statement, meaning this is something that a woman has told a man to do several times, but is now doing it herself. This will later result in a man asking ‘What’s wrong?’ For the woman’s response, refer to # 3.
