Discoveries

Hey there again, I know I posted just earlier today but that was more of an introduction to who I am. In this post I am going to be telling you about some of the cool discoveries I have made here. No I am not talking about self discoveries on my path through life etc. I am talking about little things that we don't have back home.

First things first, ebay, you can find almost anything on ebay and along with childhood story books i found and bought, I also found phone stickers being sold by a company called Vinyl Skins. You have to check out their website: Vinyl Skins and you will find skins for almost every portable device from phones to PSP! It awesome! I got the special where you got 3 phone skins for $9.99 but instead of using their pictures I chose my own design and customised them for my sister, my boyfriend and me. Take a look 8)

Janine's choice - Sister

Royce's Choice - boyfriend

My choice - me :)

So they're pretty awesome right? They also give you a screen background that matches up with the skin. I also got one for my laptop:

One for the girls: I recently discovered Sally Hansen Salon Effects Real Nail Polish Strips! They are similar to the above phone/laptop stickers but for your nails! :) These nail strips are so awesome because they are soft and thin when you put them on and then they dry out a bit and feel like real nail polish which you take off with nail polish remover! (Damn, I just said the word nail 6 times)
Anyways here's what they look like: (They're awesome and funky)

They did last 10 days +

Easy application and a great conversation starter ;)



That's a couple of the things I found really awesome and I will talk about more things I find in my blog but only if it's of interest to whoever may read this??

Want to know something a little creepy? It just so happens when I be glancing at a digital clock no matter where I some how seem to always land on 9:11... Don't believe me? Here are some pics to prove it and I promise you I was not looking intentionally for it, it just so happened coincidentally...

My alarm clock

Microwave

Laptop

Yup, it's strange haha and it only started happening after I went to the 9/11 Memorial... hmmm...

So I gotta talk about something with a bit more substance now but all I can think about is a song I have stuck in my head. A friend introduced me to Julian Smith; he wrote and produced this song---> Now get it stuck in your head and then go watch all of his other hilarious videos on YouTube :D

So today the 3 year old I take care of was so full of it. He would not listen, everything I said he did the opposite... It was a tough day to say the least. It's bad to say but it is times like that when I just want to walk out but I know that the good times are worth the fights. Wow, sounds like being in a relationship haha.. I guess here it goes, more stuff about love and relationships.

My mom once read a book and in this book it described how everybody has their own love language. Their love language would be what they need in order to feel loved. Now we may know that the people we care about love us but there are certain ways that we feel that love more. I did not read the book unfortunately but here is a snip from the author describing his book:

"Of the countless ways we can show love to one another, five key categories, or five love languages, proved to be universal and comprehensive—everyone has a love language, and we all identify primarily with one of the five love languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch".

My mom pointed out to me that I am a physical touch person because I always want to hug and if I am sitting next to a family member/boyfriend I need to be in physical contact with them weather it'd be a hand on my leg or my arm around them or cuddling. When I get a good hug I truly can feel that someone wants to be with me, that I am not boring them with my conversation etc... It's funny, all that from a hug but it is true.
What is your love language? Do you feel the love by people telling you with their words? By spending time with them one on on, when people make the effort to make time for you? Do you feel more loved when you receive gifts from people? This one is not a bad one, don't get this confused with selfish wanting. Some people are just more inclined to feel loved if they receive little things that would show someone is thinking of them and I could assume that home-made gifts would probably show the most love to these people. Do you feel love when you do good deeds? Or when people do good deeds for you? Or are you like me and need physical touch to feel the love? (Nothing dodgy in this meaning)

I am glad that I figured out what my love language is because it helps me understand myself better and helps me to understand why sometimes I feel so lonely when I'm not alone. I am not getting my hugs haha, I am so use to being surrounded by physical attention that now being withdrawn from it I feel deprived. I at least get (on good days) lots of hugs and cuddles from the kiddies and that keeps me going a little stronger for a little longer.

I gotta get myself that book, and maybe you are interested too? Check out The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman

I'll be off now, please leave some comments :) Let me know what you think your love language is!

Take it easy
