A huge body of water around me knee deep waves are one of my joys seeing the apparently still sea I spend hours before realization hit me time to leave
(I am still at the beach - some one get me out I am mesmerized!)
This was inspired by a family who were at the pool in the mount hotel! They had two cute little kids!
two little steps I keep look up and see you smile your approval it was
Word by word combined to be a verse then you complement me ....
Letter by letter I write for you to admire you agree I can write nice...
I see you hand in hand guiding me throughout school What a comfort it is for a a lot of effort is needed
but.... I start work get my first salary Look behind to ask what should I do father I see only my mother standing alone so I look around yet long gone you were And I am still looking ... for you.....
Today I am going to tell about my week end! not the whole weekend but specifically the Saturday! We have two foreigners who are visiting us at work, so we decided to take them out to the beach, because it will be so much fun! and FUN it was!
We met at the mount hotel beach in the morning! and the view was spectacular! (did I mention I love the beach :-D )
There was an abandoned boat that fascinated me. It looked so lonely in the middle of nowhere, couldn't resist the urge to take a picture for my collection. So this post is going to be a presentation of the photographs as well as a account of what happened.)
We decided to sit at the seafood cove, and teach our friends from Philippines how to play cricket! Well.... I did not help much with that because I am not very good with cricket. But managed to get some pics of the guys in action!
Soon all of us got bored, and the fun began..............
I handed my camera over to a friend, because if I had it with me I would take pictures of every thing else but me! (Then I would have to answer to my mother. She will kinda.. throw a fit and ask me what did I do beside taking pics.)
With my hands free from the camera I had to find some thing to keep me occupied. That is when I started building a sand castle, which decided to fall off the at the slightest touch! to make matters better (sarcastic smile) my dear friend decided to jump on top of it. I just had to chase after him!
The funnest part about it is how the others relate this incident as he is almost (not exactly) twice as tall as I am (imagine me trying to catch up with him)! Although he was kind enough to stop and let me hit him, I was too tired of running, I just could not do that! (This is going to be one of those incidents narrated to the people who were not there to witness it. Then retold to bug me, when ever the opportunity arrive!).
We had some photo shooting sessions soon after. (most of them were wacky pictures!). Some future profile pictures too.
Since we were so close to the sea it was about time we jump in. The sun was so hot some of the guys decided to stay back where it is safe and shady. But those of us who couldn't stay out of water had to jump in. Me being so scared of water(not the water exactly but the fear of drowning I think! this is why I cant swim yet!)I had to stay close to shore and wade. Which was almost as good as a sea bath because some of the waves reached close to my head. When it did not I lost my balance and fell in water. I heard some thing nearly snap in my knee during the wading session. But it was no major injury (Thank god!). After a few hours of screaming , covering people with sand and throwing sand at each other, we were very hungry for the fabulous lunch they offered!
Unfortunately we had to leave the beach soon after lunch! But my friend and I decided that we were gong to the pool. The others were too lazy and idiotic to leave us behind! (I have to admit some of them did have genuine reasons - other than just falling asleep even after promising to return :-P)
I was blown away by the view near the pool, so while she was doing a few laps in the pool I caught some fabulous pictures
I decided.... when I can afford to buy a house.. It most probably is going to be overlooking the sea with a balcony I can sit in! (nice dream ha...!)
I am tempted to go to the beach every week end! ;-)!
Hi everybody! I am going to be your narrator today. (a lousy one too!)
Where should I start? Here we go..............
Today we are following a character called Rob..
Is it a short form for Robby? Robert? Berty? Well I don't know and don't care either......
Let’s begin our journey with Rob.............
He suddenly felt very scared... just scared.... he doesn’t know what to do, where to go, even moving a step ahead was very hard.
He looked around doesn’t see any difference only the darkness. PITCH BLACK! He feels so trapped, senseless, as if… as if some one had dropped him in the middle of a dessert.
"If only... If only I could see"
Saying that made him realize what was wrong all this time...
"Open your eyes you... idiot...." he mutters. And slowly as his eyelids separate he see light Then the wooden floor, and the very dusty wall..
He only see the wall close to him, and can't locate where the other walls are. Simply because, it is a massive hall which seem to have no ending…
"Where is this place?" "How did I get here? Sure didn't walk in on my own" "Didn't even take a ride for sure"
"Let me think, last I remember was lying down on the roof in the super hot sun wondering..........."
"Okay..... Let’s try to get this place figured out" "May be there is a way out in this direction"
He decide to walk away from the wall
He is walking a long way when he realized that the wall is getting away from him and don't see the other end of the room yet.... "Okay looks like I've stumbled upon the room of no ending" "I wonder what is up there" and he looks up to see
"Amazing I have never seen such big roof tiles.........." "Hey am I...... In… a.... ceiling?"
Okay where have we landed now.... in an episode from Gulliver's travels? Or part of the wonderland Alice visited? Well at least we didn't come across anything scary YET!
Hold on a sec there, what is creeping behind Rob?
He turned around just in time to see a huge............
"COCKROACH!" "He is twice my size too......... better be on my way before we sit for lunch where humans are on the menu"
Robs feet are picking up speed and looks like he is getting away. The cockroach can't reach him yet because Rob is fast. The cockroach decided to stop. There is some kind of movement with his wings..........
NOT THE WINGS!
Now Rob is really frightened the distance between them are reducing rapidly. Rob has no chance of making it.
I can't watch this!
Have a nice lunch Rob! Nice knowing you!
Hold on a sec.
Rob?
ROB! Where did he go now... Rob!
Oh there he is hanging between two strips of wood on the ceiling...
The roach can't get to him now it is fluttering it’s wings and trying to pick him up from within the ceiling boards, but it can't reach far enough.
"Safe! Even if, I am hanging from the ceiling and “only” 2cm small!" "Oh no…. How do I get out of here?"
"I can't let go. If I do then I will fall on to that fan and die"
Rob is now stuck if he climb up then he will be the lunch for a Roach if he let go of the ceiling then he will be torn to pieces by the already rotating fan.
What should he do now? Oh he is climbing the wire of the fan to get away from both the fan and the roach.
He gets to the wall eventually.
"Phew! At last the wall"
Rob is now climbing down the wall. Look like he is planning to get to the floor. Safe and sound!
"OH NO..........not again"
He lost his grip on the wire just as he touched the wall now he is falling.....
Falling.....
Falling.....
Falling.....
Oh he can grab that crack on the wall.
Missed it, but it broke his fall.
Rob just landed on a nail.
He got up holding on to it.
"Saved by the nail!"
"What do I do now?"
“Only one way to go. In to the wall”
There is a bit of a hole in the wall from where the nail came out from. It is bigger than it looks from the outside!
“Wow this is one big puzzle!”
"Let’s see what we have here. Maybe I will wake up from this dream if I walk this way, or at least find a way out of this maze and not fall in trouble"
Rob is walking in between two rows of bricks......
This is taking him nowhere. There seem to be no end to this path.
"The bricks are a bit unsteady here, wonder why!"
Rob misses a step, and land on one of the bricks below him.
He is getting up gently so that he won’t hurt himself anymore... But.. As he is getting up he feels fear returning to him. As if… … As if he is surrounded. He stands up just in time to be pushed back on the ground by a huge cockroach!
“Where do you think you are going pal?”
That voice does not come from the roach who pushed him over, but the one standing above his head……
“Oh my God I am surrounded by talking cockroaches!!!!!!!!!!!!”
“No buddy we have found a talking, miniature human!!!” That is the one who pushed him and pinned him down with one of the hind legs. “Well in time for lunch too.. I am really hungry” The Fattest roach of all with fluffy wings look hungry indeed. “Hey fatso YOU are always hungry!”
“Why should we eat him lets study him so we can learn about humans and learn so we can find better food sources” Says the roach standing tall on Robs right with nerdy looking black circles around his eyes.
“Let’s think about the future!!! As usual………..” Fatso rolls its eyes at the nerdy looking roach. “What’s wrong with eating him up while he is in our captivity?”
“Ok, ok let’s take a vote on how we take care of this creature” Says the big black roach standing behind Rob.
“Raise your hands if you want to eat him!” only the fatso raise his hand.
“I agree with nerdy we should study him. If he doesn’t give us useful information then we will eat him” says the one pinning him down
“I can’t wait to see he fail, coz I would love to taste him.” Fatso is not going to make it easy for Rob. “Hey you guys this is me you are talking about so don’t I have a say in my faith?”
“Obviously you don’t!” Fatso.
“Let’s take him to the prison”
“Yeah let’s”
“Some one will have to guard him too, Especially from Fatso!”
“Come on guys I am very innocent!!!!” Fatso.
“Not when it comes to food!”
Interesting… Rob is being dragged away for experiments…… just like a guinea pig……Or rather guinea man! (If there was such a species in existence or maybe rob will be the first).
I am too inquisitive to leave rob alone at this hour, so lets follow him………..
They are dragging a screaming Rob away through the unsteady bricks in the wall….
Is this the family room of the house? Quite spacious and decorated with roach feathers, lets not forget the roaches too. Not only the party of four we met earlier, but many more. A little kingdom of Roaches!
Rob is too terrified to comment on it or even to breath.
They keep on dragging him until they throw him in between a few broken bricks, which I assume serves as a prison to the unwelcome guests or rather creatures to be experimented on.
It is getting darker wonder what they are planning to do with Rob!
Oh maybe I don’t want to know!
“Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!”
What is it now? He really need to work on the pitch of his scream no matter how much of a danger he is in.
Nerdy is caring a knife and walking towards Rob, Hence the scream.
Is Nerdy going to dissect Rob?
Oh no don’t want to see this……
“You don’t have to worry I was just going to cut you a piece of cheese, you like cheese don’t you?”
Huh!
“Hospitality? By Roaches I don’t believe this!”
“Don’t talk like I am not here. I can understand you remember.”
Looks like Nerdy is sensitive.
“Sorry didn’t mean to hurt you” says rob taking the piece of cheese Nerdy offer.
“Now let’s get to business”
This time no mistaking it Nerdy jumps on top of one of the rocks that hold Rob a prisoner, with the knife in hand and stabs him.
Rob fainted right away…….
“Hey am I dead?”
Isn’t that Rob? What happened? Where is he? Is he dead? Am I dead?
There he is. Lying on the roof caring a knife and about to stab a cockroach. This time he is not 2cm tall but his actual size.
I don’t believe this…. Walking in on Robs daydreaming... What was I thinking!
So there you have it. My little story for the day!
When I saw the post by Sabby thought I should relate my experience too!
This was around 9'ish on the Friday! I was totally absorbed in blogging checking out the blogs done by those who commented on mine, and was commenting on posts..... you know the drill.
Then they decide it is time to kill the power, and I was in the middle of trying to upload a profile picture(curses)! thought it was just one of those power cuts.
Since I cant do anything else I went looking for my mom, well she was looking for a candle for the next door lady, to see we have only one candle which was already burning at the time. Even the shops are out of candles. Then we decide to eat in the dark using the light from my book light (thank god for that, I hate eating in the dark!).
Then I heard fire crackers (i thought they were). Mom got scared and told me that they were firing. Initially it sounded far away then it got closer at one point it was almost like on top of the roof (I am pretty sure it didn't get close to our house but sounded very much like that!). Then we decided that we don't want to die in case a stray bullet come our way, so we crawled under my bed! (now I feel stupid saying this - but bullets are deadly).
Guess what my neighbors did instead! They were sight seeing! I heard them standing out side the houses and talking about the lights, counting the shots etc! How dumb can they get?
After the firing went down we crawled out, and started to have dinner in the dark! (one have to survive after all). Actually I had rice for the dessert, but answered a lot of calls for dinner (-_*)! all our friends and family were checking up on us! including hijinx who wanted to make sure mom and I have not merged in to a single piece!
This made me realise that how horrible it must be for the soldiers out there in the north, both the SL ARMY and LTTE! no I am not a LTTE supporter but they are also human, I THINK!
I simply don't understand the purpose of having a war!
Filled with colors Sparkling with light dancing in the dark chased by the wind even cruel people! the mystry and the fear of revelation of the truth or your mistakes running away from life facing the truth about desire it is a story worth telling but held back by the fear for revealing your true colors dreams are to be loved while they last in the night but thought about when you are awake because they are all about the thoughts that fear hold back from rest of the world!
I am the happiest girl today in my office! You might ask why! Well, for those of you who know me .... "Chris just told me that I've gotten a bit taller!" (Yippiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!) For those of you who doesn't know me.. Yes I am quite short and my friends call me 3 feet no inches - in exageration! but I am a bit taller than that! So one of my lifes dreams would be to put on a few inches more to my body structure! Speaking of being short there are plus points of being shrot too. Like being able to hide behind tall people from both people and the hot sun. And to find the best view giving "Hey I cant see from over there would you mind moving so I can see better" as a excuse to get in front of the line/crowd. Even to climb on some thing that is taller than the normal view! It is also not that hard to reach the ground when you have dropped some thing or crawl under a table to find that pencil you dropped! (some thing people who have big bellys hate doing!) This reminds me of my father who refuses to sit on the floor because of his belley. He will always go look for a chair or a bench at alms givings. That is also some thing I am good at like sitting cross legged on the ground or even on any chair/table, which amuse a lot of people! (-_*) Now I am running out of ideas as to why it is good to be short, so I shall stop before I forget the good mood I am in. So thanks Chris for making my day today!
