Think hard! why? Think clear? better! Harder the thought is unclear it gets! NOT TRUE ALL THE TIME, but is easy on the brain when it is just clear, coz am having a headache off thinking hard ;)
Depression, is a form of self pity, annoyance, disappointment, hopelessness and a lot more, however it made me sleepy last weekend. Sooooo annoying.
Easy life? Easy Target to hurt! Hard life prepare you for the worst! But Hard is HARD!
Is free Lonely? or is LONELY FREE? does everything good and bad have a price except for lonely? why? coz it makes life interesting?
why does everything come at full speed no breathing space! to the extent of losing count of where you are in life! but nothing happens when it is a boring life same ol same ol.
Conversion to become a business women – 3 weeks!
How do you figure people out? How do you know if they are good or bad? First impressions are not always right! they can be forged!

Catering Tips
I was browsing for a few tips online to share with you the other day for the office blog. Take a look at what I found!

8 Self Catering Tips
8 Self Catering Tips
Planning any event takes a lot of work especially if you are self catering the event. Shopping, cooking, decorating and general organization can be a full-time job. Depending on the size, you might need to rent cooking equipment, tables, chairs and even a tent. If there will be entertainment you might find yourself scouting out disc jockeys or a band.
Although it's a lot of work, catering an event can be very rewarding and doing it yourself can save a lot of money. Here are eight self catering tips that you can use to make the job easier.
1. Organization. You want some sort of a system that allows you to easily access everything you need for the event. This includes lists and notes which might be organized in a spreadsheet on the computer as well as the supplies that you will need for the event which should be kept together in the same area.
2. Make Lists. When you are self catering any event, lists are your friend, you want lists of contact information for all the people helping with the party as well as lists of the invited guests. How about a list of all the equipment you need to rent? Of course a list of all the food you have to buy is a necessity as well as the supplies like tablecloths, napkins and dinnerware. Don't forget to make a to-do list so you can check off when you've accomplished all the other things on the other lists.
3. Make a menu. You want to figure out everything you are going to serve from appetizers to desserts and don't forget to include drinks. Then you need to figure out all the ingredients that you need to make the items that you won't be buying pre made. When making a menu, take into consideration any food allergies or food preferences that you know the guests might have.
4. Shop around. Once you've made your lists and you know what you need to buy, you can save yourself some money by shopping around. Go to your local Sam's Club or bargain club and compare prices. Don't be afraid to look online where you might be able to save money especially for things like decorations, napkins, imitations and dinnerware.
5. Schedule it out. Once you know what you want to serve, you will need to come up with a timeline so that the foods are ready at the appropriate time. If you going to be setting up and decorating as well include this in the timeline. A lot of the things can be made in advance and then kept frozen up until the day of the event. Some other things you might be able to make a day or two ahead of time. Even if you have help self catering the event, you want to include some wiggle room in your schedule just in case something goes wrong.
6. Guest count. You want to be sure you have enough food but having too much would be wasteful. Be sure you get a good guest count so you know how much to make.
7. Throw it out. You can make things a lot easier on yourself if you use disposable dinnerware. It might not look as nice in your event but you won't have to deal with washing dishes and this will be a huge timesaver.
8. Enjoy! Just because you are self catering the event doesn't mean you can't enjoy it. If you are well-organized and plan for things you can participate in the event as well as host it!

10 Catering Tips
If starting a home catering business is your dream, consider these tips from a professional caterer.

If starting a home catering business from your hobby farm is your dream, consider these 10 tips from a professional caterer.
1. Be realistic.
If starting a home catering business from your hobby farm is your dream, consider these 10 tips from a professional caterer.
1. Be realistic.
- Catering is not glamourous!
- It’s hard work and long hours.
- When others play, you work.
Try these truths on for size before you invest any money, time or effort into an extension of your endeavours. Only the strong survive!
2. Cool as a cucumber.Above all you must be able to handle stress and never appear flustered.
- And that’s not just your stress, but also the “freak-out” levels of stress your client might be experiencing.
Realise what’s at stake for them. Trust and powerlessness can be scary emotions for anyone.
3. Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines.Time is unforgiving in the catering business. Five or ten minutes leeway is acceptable when serving, but half an hour late is not, unless the client has pushed back the clock. Are you reasonably punctual? Examine your ability to deliver in a timely manner.
4. Find your own niche.Remember there are many categories of catering; from barbeque and beans to pheasant under glass.
- Establish your own area of excellence and interest. Something you enjoy, something that makes your product different.
If successful, you’ll be making lots of it!
5. Listen to your client.Naturally your thoughts and suggestions are what they are looking for, but most clients have some preconceived ideas regards their event. Prize these out. They’ll provide you with guidance and insights. It’s the client you’re trying to please.

6. Never apologise for your price.Your product will always cost more than the frozen semi-equivalent bought from the warehouse megamarket.
- Don’t be brow-beaten or back off your price with a client that wants to negotiate a “discount”, or promises you all their friends’ events. Nobody wins.
7. Start early.Catering is like Christmas. If you leave it until the last minute, you’ll wish you’d started sooner. Many things can be organized in advance such as rentals and the work force.
- Over time, you’ll become familiar with the natural sequence. Until then, make lots of lists.
8. Friendly and flexible.
- Ten minutes before serving you’re told to hold dinner – the guest of honour’s flight is late.
Can you slap on a smile and reassure the hostess that you can ratchet down and maintain the meal indefinitely in a holding pattern? Do it anyway!
9. Remember your place.Probably an old fashioned idea, but it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of an event.

- A good rule of thumb for you and especially any extrovert servers you might employ is “if you’re having too much fun, then you’re not working.”
10. Belle of the Ball
- Clients love to know they have thrown a social smash. Share some of the comments and compliments that came your way.

Earing, earings a world of earings!
Yet again a very late post. Unfortunately I have no internet connection these days, and will be a while before I start blogging as frequently as I used to.
Let me go straght in to the point of this post (I would burst if I don't). I am starting a side business.
Do you remember the earings I've made for the Townhall at Office and the Dancing Examination? I decided to make more of them and make some money out of it.
Girls, how meny times have you found your self wondering "Where would I get the perfect pair of earings for this outfit?" or thinking "No earing matches this dress the colors are all wrong" or "Why aren't there earings to go with all these colors in my dress". Well all that worry will be gone, when my stuff comes in to the market. Coz they are made out of cloth and it is not going to be very hard to match to your outfit. Here is a sneak peak of what you will get in the near future. Make sure you pick one up, if you come across them in a store. For you self, Girlfriend, Mother, Sister any one who would like to have one.

I am assuming that you are intersted in hearig (reading) about how I got this Idea (let me tell you even if you are not interested ;-) ).
It started with the Townhall at office. It was a "last minute shopping for the out fit" occation. So we (Mom and I) bought a Saree, but couldn't find a satisfactory pair of earings. Since there were some extra material from the blouse piece, I decided to make them my self. They were a hit! I got a few good complements and most importantly I was satisfied with them. They were just perfect for the occation. The second pair came about with the Dancing Examination. I didn't have a pair of earings, that suited the occation and matched the Blouse Mom made for me or the Skirt. So I did the same as earlier. Only diference is that this time I used a pair I already had along with the cloth from the blouse. This encouraged me to make a third pair that I loved and lost (one earing). It was the fourth one that made me want to do it as a business.

Not all the earings I make look normal. Some of them kind of look like the designer wear we see on TV ;-) (I think!). What I mean is that they look good but you will think twice before actually picking them up coz they are kind of unusual. Only one way to find out if you would actually like them. Put it out in the market.
I am still in the process of making the lot. I need to figure out a name for the brand. Should I categorise them? that is some thing I am still wondering. The initial lot will have hand written lables as it is cheeper and gives a personalised look and feel to it. Because that is what they are all about to look custom made.
I have a lot of future plans for these including a showroom only for earings. That has to wait. Got to go now, have a date with a pair of earings!

Allo Allo
Sorry for disappearing again. I keep apologizing but no action taken. Will attend to it once am done with this post. So where was I?
I was at the bronze awards ceremony. Remember I did the dancing exams? Once that is over they had the awards ceremony. I invited my dear friend hijinx and my mom along to witness me getting a certificate and do a ten word vote of thanks. It was fun to go to the party. I enjoyed the event and the getting ready part to it. Only regret is that didn't get to help out enough with teh decor, because that weekend was a very busy one.
We had this gathering of my colleagues from office. A barbeque, I loved every minuite of it, eventhough I got a bit bored at times, there was no music so we had to sing ourselves. I ended up using a table as a drum/bera/thabla (call what ever you can call it) and realised if ever I am to learn an istrument in the future it is definetely going to be the Thabla. Had a load of pics taken unfortunately cant upload it now. Will do that in the near future.
Then we had the 5 year celibration at office, its been 5 years since they started and I will be completing 5 in september. Happy am I...? Not so sure. I feel it has been tooo looong. Oh yeah the next topic I have to talk about because I call it a shadow of my most scariest nightmare in life. My mom got a false chest pain, i.e we thought it was and I had to rush back from teh celibrations at office. But thank god it was only a muscle pain. She was working hard lately to clear our house of Dengi Mosquitos.
Let me tell you guys about this week in a brand new post. Coz I have a lot to talk about.
Notice how I have misspelt the word 'the' in this post. How annoying I keeep doing this. type the e before the h. why? ...

Why?
Hi guys long time no see?
Yeah I know I went missing again. Like I said I was dancing hard for the medal exams. Finally it is behind me. Well I marks between 81-84 for all six dances. Which means I am recommended for the bronze medals. But if I had gotten 85 I would have been highly recommended. Yeah.............(sigh!). I'll take what I got. I could have performed better with the dancing partner I had, but he had to fly on the day of my exams. So I had to change partners in a hurry.
Then I got sick during the week end a stomach ache, due to bad judgment on what to eat after missing a meal. Which annoyed me a lot in the end due to the head ache that persisted on staying back. Thank god it went off by Monday in time for work.
I have a question for you guys... how annoying can a conductor be. No not a music conductor. but the conductor we meet everyday. I get the 177 AC buses usually to get to work. So I get in the bus and sit down as usual. Then I give 30 bucks and ask for a ticket to office which cost 25. He wanted a 5 rupee so he doesn't have to give me the change he had. I didn't honestly have any coins with me this time. (There are times when I do have change n still reply no). He did give me a 5 rupee coin, which I believe was the last coin he had at the moment. If giving a coin take about 5 secs. He very reluctantly took about 50 secs or more. Would have taken even longer or not give me my balance at all. Well I know this was not a big deal, didn't think it was until...........
It was time to to get off the bus. I was reading in the bus as usual. But I was aware that I had to get off, about 2 buss halts before my destination he poked my shoulder and tell me that I have to get off. I was quite surprised (since I was absorbed in the book didn't remember the previous incident), but packed my things and got up without a word. I was standing near the door with a colleague who was in the same bus, waiting for it to stop. When this idiot come up front and squeeze through between me and the bar near the door in front of the first seat, which I was holding on to and step nicely on my foot. My first reaction was to get surprised. The next was to scream coz it hurt. He was practically standing on my foot. but no he would not back up. Lucky me/him the bus stopped and I had to get off. I was telling my colleague about these incidents and to see he had noticed that the conductor is particularly rude. Why do people do this. Dont they have any decensy? I just dont undestand. (shaking head side ways)! :(
Anyways. have a nice week. My internet at home is gone for a while. I might not put up a lot of stuff for some time. Or maybe I will. (now that I am usign the internet in office for this. :)

Darkness
Hi guys
Sorry I was gone for a long long time. I got sick for over two weeks. It was horrible. Then I was still recovering from it and not in any mood to blog or to even talk with some of my friends. Felt so lonely and annoyed at the whole world. Below is exactly how I felt during that time.
In the broad day light
where thoughts float
around with the darkness
Darkness from the sky
Darkness filled in the heart
Darkness from the night
Darkness in the corner
Darkness in the heart
It is the shadow I see
of you.........
Black in color .... no white around
I begin to hate you
any thing that you touch
but it is all the darkness in my thoughts
that made you black
I hate you for all my faults
I hate you for the mistakes I do
I hate you for the accidents in life
I hate all of you for just being you!
but...................
Reality await me
I am yet to understand
that it is I who I hate
It is my world that is falling
you are just you
but I am the darkness
in my world
I need to wake from this nightmare
before it consumes me
before I lose sanity
At the end of this stream of thoughts it is time for medicine. Then I would go back into the darkness. Now I am suddenly seeing the light. It is as if I am seeing it for the first time.
Thank god I am better and back to normal!

Back at it! (Blogging? Dancing? Both!)
Hi guys
Long time no see ha? I know. I've treated my readers very bad, and wouldn't be surprised if I lost some of them. I hope they will come back eventually.
Well the thing is that I had to think a lot lately. I usually don't take a lot of thing serious.
Don't have a lot of problems either. Even if every single day is a struggle at times (or even most of the times), but most of the pressing issues I chose not to deal with until I really need to get them out of harms way.
This time period had been just that. I had to think a lot and plant for a way to solve the issues.
When I think I like no inferences. Don't confide in a lot of people either. Only those who are closest to me.
Right now thinking is kind of sorting its way out, and I needed a break from thinking. So here I am blogging again.
I think I should start how my life had been for the past two weeks. The week before the last was very slow and eventful at work! The last week was super cool coz I was at home on leave. Good way to think. Stay at home no movies or books. you have no choice but think. but I did have movies and two books to keep myself occupied. Did the thinking bit too.
I would log in here and think of something to write about. But nothing will come to my head. Today I think I do have some stuff to talk about.
Did I tell you how much I love dancing! (love it loads). We are getting ready for the broze exams. And a few things all of us had to worry about are - partner, dress, date, time and music. These exclude the steps and other stuff we learn at the class. I got the partner thing sorted.
Didn't want to go partnerless and turn out to dance with the dumbest student in the class and stumble all the way infront of the judges.
So me and a couple of my friends were bugging this girl from the senior batch to help us find good partners. The other two got this guy to dance with them. well the same person can dance with different people. as long as only two people dance for one exam.
I was so worried. I was wondering who would be a good partner, who I am comfortable with. Coz the guy has to lead and I will have to follow.
I saw this guy who I danced with onece, he was so sweet, and helped me with some thing I get wrong all the time. So I asked this friend if he was good. She was like yeah he is good.
So I ran up to him and asked him If he would do me the favour of dancing with me for the exams. I still feel awkword for doing that coz usually it is the guy who ask the girl even for a dance. He is even not a close friend. I wouldn't feel bad if he was. But I just do riht now. But then it is my exam.
So I get to dance with him after that only on yesterday. He is really really good with his dancing. Just the kind of person I need for a partner for this exam. Thank god I got him to come for the exam!
I am not nervious (am I)! I try not to think about it til it get closer. I have one month to go.

Both of these were from competitions and the theme was to write some thing about the moon.

Seeking for attention! or is it love!
People being extremely pretty/handsome, having extraordinary talent or being extremely stupid could be a few reasons why they grab our attention. There are others who does a lot of things to get that attention too.
Tell me how many of you notice people seeking for attention lately. They might scream out when every one in the room is silent or some thing close enough. You might think that they act like kids. Don't we all act the same at times. What if you are a kid who really need attention? Would you scream out and say, hey people I am an orphan I really need a hug or some comfort. I met a few kids who actually acted that way and asked for it simply because they don't have someone who would give that attention on a regular basis.
It was the birthday of one of the kids in this orphanage. So some people from our office decided to do something for the 23 kids in the ages of 2 to 5. We took some balloons decor and food for them and some coloring books too. We were asked not to bring Toys but company, because that is what they really needed. So there we were with the balloons all blown up and tied to a string, after taking some pics before going in for the mission.
We went to the small play area for the tiny tots and started hanging the crape paper and balloons on the swing slide and etc.. got a table to keep the cake and the sweets. one of the matrons brought the birthday girl. She was so sweet and silent.
Then came the little task force with tiny chairs for them to sit, their task was to have fun and get all the attention and love from us while we are there.
They were seated in a circle and I was standing close to some of them. When I felt that some one slapped me from behind... To see it was this little girl called Achini who really crave for attention and that is one way she show that. She also use the other tactics like cry occasionally, or get you to carry her. All those kids there were like that, not all of them would hit you thogh(it was Achini's specialty). They would come to you with their arms spread asking you to carry them or just come up to you and hug or simply cry. Achini actually got me to feed her the piece of cake she was eating. This other little boy got me to feed him the milk he was drinking. They also loved jumping on your lap even without your permission to sit on it or roll about on it. That is what we were there for afterall, and they knew that too.
After all the feeding we got about to hand over the coloring books. We brought them over so we can color with them and interact with them. It was fun to help them out and color with them. But it also got to a stage that every kid wanted to stick to the adult who were with them and wouldn't let go.The problem was that there weren't enough adults to go around. So the beast called jealosy turned up to make things worse. He made some of them steal the other persons pastal or the book. Few kids were crying towards the end.
Finally it was time to leave. I really diddn't want to leave, but had to. By this time the birthday girl had gotten attached to my friend and wouldn't get off his hands. She would go looking for him and get him to carry her. We all thought she was going to cry soon after we left. Wonder how they all are now!!!!
They need all the attention they can get. and it is never wrong to seek attention coz it is needed in life. But what you do to get it is the big Q here. Also give away as much attention as ou can today. Please ... for the sake of those who really don't have anyone to do it for them!
Tell me how many of you notice people seeking for attention lately. They might scream out when every one in the room is silent or some thing close enough. You might think that they act like kids. Don't we all act the same at times. What if you are a kid who really need attention? Would you scream out and say, hey people I am an orphan I really need a hug or some comfort.

Willing to talk? no not yet... maybe later!
I know I have not been very conversational lately! Probably lost most of my readers too! This can happen occationally! First I lose controll then I go silent! That is how I get ready to deal with my issues. So YES my X is definitely back in my life and have given the chance he asked for..... I hope it will work! But lets not talk about it further coz I really dont know what I think of it. so lets leave it at that for now, coz there are more pressing matters at hand!
Today is a wired Day! I got word that I will need to make a decision on some thing soon but that is also a very hard decision. Don't want to talk about it much either. Until I really know more about it.
Let me get into something that I am willing to share today!
But That is worth a post of its own. Watch this space for more (-_*)

for Thursday Challenge! (Building - hut)
This is my submission for this week!
This is a traditional hut of the farmers in Sri Lanka! (not that they live in them now a days!) The small hut mounted on a stand is called a Vee bissa where we store the harvest!

rainbow in the skyline
I see colores
lots of them
they hover above me
around me
and all over me
the wet breeze announce
the end of thunder and storm
it is time to light the
world with the shimmer
of sun light
the moon is so bright
light is so nice
warm and soothing
life look great
with hope and calm
yet what is that dark cloud
that loom near by?

I hate life
Life - is wired
I thought I loved it
but now i hate it
will love it again
tomorrow
Why don't life leave me alone
to be on my own
where not one can hurt
or I cant hurt them
But then
It will be terribly lonely
And I hate to be alone
now I am confused
Cant I just be me
and do every thing right
or every thing I do is right
even murder!
I don't like life right now !

and do every thing right

Why do shadows from past come back? Do we put them behind us or beside us?
I really need an answer to that question!
This is unfair just when I decide that it is time to move on, Life grab me and hold me back not letting me go. And my mother she teams up with my enemy (X-boyfriend)and she helps him. How fair is this? He decide to leave and I have to leave, now when he want to come back I have to let go of all my pain suffering & guard(because my mom is involved). No I am not going to do that.
I am so angry no not angry confused and very annoyed to write anymore! This is annoying! and have no idea what I've written. cant be bothered reading either!

Story of the bag
Long time no see -- ha? Yeah was a bit busy, was lost in a lot of images (*_-) !
anyways here is a story I had to upload!
It is a picture story! and the narrator is a little bag called "D" am stealing his owners nickname!
So here is the story!
I went out one day with my owner and my buddy (her new phone)
She went to meet her friends... I think she was supposed to give them a treat.
We were just lying on the table while she was scribbling away, til her friends decided to turn up.
Then came a little girl with a loud voice and a camera.. to see she is one of them too.
She got so exited when she saw me and was taking my pictures. I should admit it I did enjoy posing for her in the beginning.
Then I got tired!
She didn't realise that I was tired, She kept clicking away! I got annoyed with her.
She wouldn't stop so I decided to let her be and listen to some music!
But It was a fun visit all in all!

Fear make you strong!
This might be a strange topic, but this idea suddenly popped in my head at work one day!
Was trying to write a poem out of it for some time now. here is what I came up with!
Fear
It make you unstable
you lose control or freeze
you cry or die
but it also make you strong
It is why you don't get close to danger
It is why you watch your back
It is why you take care not to lose
It is why u are immune to emotion
It is why u smile all the while
It is what make you think before you act
It is what make a mother protect a child
It is what keep you close to your loved ones
It is the underlying reason behind most of our actions
Take fear in your palm keep it close
Do not let it consume you but teach you
Some of the important lessons in life!

Thoughts for the Wishing well! - Why I need a Tablet notebook (So bad)
I meant to write this a few days back and even wrote it down so I won't forget. But my life is such that I seriously need to find a wishing well to put these thoughts in it!
Why do I need a tablet Notebook
Because my PC is currently unconscious it suddenly decided not to boot up and I need to take it to my friend who will fix it for me (Bummer :(( ! )
Because I really need a mobile computer, So I can use it while I watch TV, before going to sleep, at Dinner, on my way to work (hopefully if mom let me take it)
Because Then I can read e-books, go online, and watch movies at my bed (and not bother mom too much at night - she hate to sleep when the light is on, my computer is very close to her bed)
Because I love sketching and don't have a scanner! (Taking pics of them and uploading them are a bit of a hassle and would like to do otherwise) (Why It has to be a Tablet not a normal Laptop)
Why I cant get it!
TOooooooooooooooooooooooo expensive! I need to get a really good one that cost about 2Lks of LKR because I wouldn't be buying one for years to come and cant be bothers putting up with fixing it when it crash.
So this one goes in the wishing well with a 1 rupee 'coz I cant find a penny!
