It's all a Matter of Perception ;)

There's no doubt that I've always been "The Black Sheep" of the family....Hands Down.

With my unusual life experiences to date, even if it wasn't innately inherent, it was bound to happen anyway...LOL

The other day it came up again when I was detailing more future planned adventures to my mum...she interrupted with...

"Why do you have to do these things? Why are you so different to the rest...why can't you be more like the others? More...Normal?! "

When I was younger, sure things like things didn't make me feel too good...rejection from your own mother! *sheesh*

But some people are just conventional- they like to follow the crowd. That would be my mother. Any deviance from what everyone else is doing plants a seed of Fear in people like her. People like that need to loosen up and appreciate that everybody is different. How boring would the world be if everybody were the same? I appreciate that even in grass there are many shades of greens and yellows and blacks and reds, all different textures and smells, inhabited by different kinds of animals.

I am glad I've finally reached a stage where I can be comfortable to be Me...

And the way I see it is...

Why would I want to be just "Normal", when I can be "Special"? ;)

Cheers :)

p.s this is the funniest thing I have read in the news for a while!

A Berry Indulgent Day

It's been so hot lately, I've been neglecting proper diet the past couple of days primarily surviving on my addiction to Red Rock's Honey Mustard Kettle Chips and fruit.

I'm pretty ashamed of myself actually for being so lazy and unhealthy. So today when I went grocery shopping I went all out at the greengrocer's...buying an assortment of fresh vegetables, fruits and berries as above. The little red ones are actually "blackcurrant grapes" I have never seen them and didn't know if they were actually fresh blackcurrants or not which is why I thought I'd get them to try- eh, in the end they just tasted like little red grapes but cost about 3X more!

I didn't get out of the grocer's unscathed of junk though...feeling in a food indulgent mood, I ended up spending $10 on 300g of chocolate which on retrospect is quite a bit for one's everyday eating! (Especially since I still have Cote D'or and Lindt sitting around untouched...) I guess I'm still "researching" European chocolate to find out which one I like best with a view to being able to buy and consume only small quantities of high quality chocolate in the future...

Here we have German Ritter with whole hazelnuts, Dutch Droste orange and Madagascan cocoa pastilles. The only normal one left I need to "research" is the Swedish Marabou.

I'm actually going to cook properly tonight to make amends for all the junk eating...I'm feeling like ASIAN food and RICE so this is what I'm toying with in my head...Clay Pot Rice with pork mince, snake beans, black bean sauce, ginger, Chinese wine, swiss brown mushrooms and maybe a few ground dried shrimp....Mmmmm sounds good to me!

On another note sure enough I had another "triple number" moment today...but in relation to someone else(by accident)...I really think being attuned to reiki must open some kind of "psychic door" to an alternate consciousness...this last year or so has just been way too interesting!

My key word...BALANCE!

This (The spiritual meaning of Numbers) has got to be THE MOST uncanny article I have ever read on numerology...

My life path number is rather special....the "master" number 11. I don't know much about numerology but this article mentioned how the number 11 is both a heightened/amplified version of the number 1 but also indicative of the number 2 since 1+1=2.

Some key words regarding these number associations JUMPED out at me...Purity(my name!), positivity and pure energy, striking a BALANCE (always a struggle for me!), higher ideals, refinement, invention, fulfillment, vision, equality, justice, duality....reflective, thoughtful, intuitive? That's me!!

I was also fascinated by the meanings of 3s and 4s since I most often see in daily life the number 444 which has always spooked me- this is actually drawing my attention to the need to be GROUNDED! I often also see 333 which I've always liked and always welcome when I see...this is drawing my attention to the need to be able to express my CREATIVITY!

This is also very coincidental because someone asked me my New Year's Resolution and I said I'm keeping it plain and simple this year, "I just want to survive my studies this year successfully and try and achieve a more balanced life."

In the end the author concludes that people who are associated with the number eleven are very psychically connected- no kidding! WOW.

edit: wow the revelations keep coming today...I found out that my favourite colour of the past few years - GREEN- is the colour of balance! Gotta Love Synchronicity!!!

edit: post Caroline's comment... *wow* Angels have been speaking to Me??? All This Time??!!! Here is more info on Angelic triple numbers...

On another note (which I was going to do as its own post but I'll just add here instead...), in the last month or two I have noticed ALOT (like more than 1 or 2 years worth!) Rainbows spontaneously popping up in My Life! Here is the latest one which came to me on New Year's Eve...



Rainbows following me around?? Surely, that's gotta be a good sign!! No wonder I feel so positive about the year ahead...I am Truly Blessed!! *:-D*

And the fun never ends...

So, I was quite excited on my way to picking up my left behind baggie of clothes...and yes it was all there! :-D And I was still recovering from the sheer exhaustion sustained from New Year. So I wasn't being very attentive-daydreaming as usual- and I ended up leaving my keys in our common mail room door.

And in the interim before I realised, one of my scumbag city neighbours ended up PILFERING it! Or so it seems...

So, I had a fun time waiting outside my door until Dear Old Dad arrived with a spare. So anyway, all engagements this weekend had to be cancelled while I stay home to guard my house until I resolve the locks on my door and get a new security key which is going to be a protracted and expensive process...sigh.

Other than that, feeling especially lazy, can't be bothered entertaining my usual fervent blogaholism or uploading new pics. Spending the next few days cleaning, watching films and cooking some decent meals(I miss rice!)

...I need some quality hermit time to recover.

So Maybe Photography as side-vocation is...

not such a remote thought after all?

I FINALLY got access to My Flickr account after months of not being able to log on...and in less then 24 hours I got a request from a public news service to use one of the photos I uploaded!!

Ooh how exciting...

But even better...I should be reunited with my accidentally abandoned in the middle of nowhere favourite jeans etc today!...fingers crossed.
