It's purely coincedental that I'm blogging a month later on yet again a Sunday...

But as insomnia kicks in yet again in a city I dread, I remember that there's a virtual avenue for me where I can say absolute squat & still walk away feeling good about myself...

I'll try to be more humane in this blog, as the last one got me into hot water with a good friend of mine, who was slightly offended, so what I'll do this time is to keep it simple, as that apparently is more...

I celebrated my birthday a few days back & it turned out better than I'd hoped, thank you to a group of dear friends, who have become more anchors than colleagues to me - Hammer ladies I won't mention any names.
As this is the 1st job Ive ever commited myself to, I must say I've experienced a lot of growth as a person , seeing as I've now spent two of my birthdays there.
In the industry Im in, your work inevitably becomes your life, & it only complicates things further when you're a team of no more than 10 people : majority being women & it's only through His grace that my banter has led to a missing body-part!
I thank this amazing team for accepting all that I come with, which is more good than bad ^^,).

With the coming of my birthday each year, is the realisation that the year's gone & I can honestly say this has been a whiplash of a year & it reallly was KE NAKO for all that's come to pass.

Im damn proud of my achievements this year & the amount of responsibility this absent-minded, care-free soul has taken upon itself.

I fail dismally at self-praise so tonight indulge me as I'm about to list all my 2010 achievements :

- My thoughtless banter hasn't landed me in any fatal brawls
-I got myself into a company that dint need me initially, but with a bit of hindsight see me as a Godsend.
-I moved to a totally new place, with no set plans or map drawn out as to what was to happen : & I can look back & say that being impulsive is BOSS! ( CTN you're loved )
- I pay my own rent, eat sarmies each night & have promised myself that next year I won't be a pedestrian.
- I've befriended angels, who somehow managed to calm the demons in me.
-I've realised being me's the best thing I can ever offer anybody, regardless of whether they accept it / not.
- I think I know what I want from a man & up until I see find what I want, I refuse to settle for anything average ( yes a convent may be my home soon )
- Im a loyal, loving & caring person who's unashamedly possessive over what she loves.
- I make more than 3 people smile per day, fuck Ive indirectly saved people from strokes, eating disorders, heart failure & ultimately suicide due to my foolishness.
- Ive made my mum proud, & THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS!

They say be grateful for what you have, then the blessings will smother you.
I may not always be glad for what I have, as it's only natural for an ambitious soul to constantly strive for more, but it feels good to every once in a while sit down & give yourself a real pat on the back!

What have you done to make yourself happy ?
