A while ago. actually it was two years ago, after graduate school while job hunting I started a list of things I wanted to do and learn to keep improving myself (this make sense because according to astrology I am the eternal learner).
This list consist of books I should read especially classics like "War and Peace" that I never had the opportunity to read whiles in school, languages (french, spanish) that I want to learn, and subjects such as art, classical music that I want to know more about. I also included names of places I wanted to see.
I am happy to say that I have been making progress. I am reading more, in fact I am currently reading "War and Peace", I am learning french, and I took a trip to Montreal. Now all I need is the new job which will be my career break that will allow me to work hard and play hard and thereby improving my self.

Don't put the cart before the horse
If you want a meaningful love filled relationship please don't put the cart before the horse when you are searching for the one, or if you want to arranged marriage is for you. I am currently watching the bachelorette and I just realized that I would not make it pass the first round, because I hate to blindly plan for anything, it will cause me great anxiety if none of these plans work out, so I kind of go with the flow.
I did not grow up in a traditional family so my ideal is different from the norm, I grewup seeing how the other half lives and it worked for me. If I fall in love I will consider marriage and all that and until then I am not going to worry about stuff like that because in my reality I have seen people happy and sad being single or married and now I am happy and I am one of those lucky people who loves their space and have more fun alone that in a group, i do enjoy hanging out with my friends and relative that amuse me but silence is always golden.

summer dreams
As the warm weather approaches, all I can do is think about strolling around my favorite city, taking in the sites, people watching, debating with myself which discount items to buy, buy hotdogs and nuts from street vendors.
Two hours to New York city seems so long but let me tell you it is worth the effort, as I approach the city either by train or car the anticipation of the thrills that awaits quickens my heartbeat. Oh do I long to live closer.

Condolence messages and tribute letters
Condolence messages and tribute letters are great ways to say goodbye or what you never had the opportunity to say. They do help you deal with lost. I wrote two last year one to my dad and another to my grand aunt. This one is for Tasha whose death affected much more than I expected it to.
A group of us from a memorial site for Natasha Richardson decided to write condolence messages to her as a way of saying goodbye, below is my letter to her written just after her death.
Dear Natasha Richardson-Redgrave-Neeson,
There is a lot that I want to say but I do not know how to say it or where to begin. When I heard about your mishap, I felt an enormous amount of sadness; I asked my angels to help you through your ordeal and return you whole to your love ones, I pleaded with God to spare your life, I even asking him to take me instead of you. When I heard that you had died, an unexplainable grief that left me in a state of bewilderment, came over me, the hurt, sadness still lingers, and part of me does not want it to go away completely for fear of forgetting you.
Not only I am a fan of your work, I am also a fan of the kind of person you were. You always exude kindness, genuineness, luminosity, compassion, and a joie de vie. I have always believed that there are angels among us on earth and I sensed something special about you, I sensed you were one of God’s angels. Although I feel sad that I never had the opportunity to meet you, I am glad I got the opportunity to see your marvelous performances on screen. I am also glad that I had the opportunity hear and read your views on a variety of subjects from the many interviews you gave.
Reading and listening to the words your nearest and dearest used describe you, makes me pleased to know that I have been accurate in judging your character and I feel glad that I had admired and looked up to you when you were alive and I will continue to do so. I hope that you are not still sad about dying so very young, I know you miss your family, and they miss you dearly. I will miss not seeing you on the screen and on the stage. I will miss listening to you speak, seeing you smile and being affectionate with those you love especially your husband.
Images of you and your Liam make me believe true love does exists, I feel sad for him the most. Because of You and Liam, I believe that with great love, respect and commitment, a successful relationship is possible. I know no one is perfect, but I think if we humankind had gotten together to rank people by the greatest of their character, you will be one of the ones at the top of the list. I love you for being all that you were. I am in awe of the way you lived your life and you will forever remain that way in my heart. Because of you Natasha, I want many great things including to live my life to the fullest, not be boring, not to take anything for granted, and lastly to be compassionate to others and myself.
Please continue to rest in peace,
With love, respect and great admirationMoriyina Cole

My broadway musical dream_
I love musicals and plays. Last night after watching the Tony award show, I had the most amazing dream; I dreamt that I was the creator of a very successful musical on Broadway starring my favorite talents. What a dream, I wish I were that talented and creative; I find it very difficult to come with the type of ideas that are destined to become great musicals or plays. I am great at analyzing so I will make a decent critic or talent scout, but Hollywood will not use me as scout because talent will triumph over looks any day for me.

''Friends who knows how to be Friends"
I love this line from the song "Incomplete" by miss Morissette. Whenever I am thinking about something she comes out with a line that describes it, Alanis and I should meet and write a book. With all the social network site popping up, the definition of friend is being use loosely.
