Dear Santa....



Dear Santa,
Let’s be real, I have a long wish list and I haven’t been a really good girl this year(just a work in progress)one more thing ,how and where will I get my presents if my home doesn’t  even have  a chimney to begin with??? I know this time of the year is hectic for you, but its unfair how   the true joy of Christmas is being stolen while you watch, I don’t mean to  sound rude but let’s face it,this time of year makes half the world into materialistic devils . If this was  a letter of complaint,believe me I would definitely be stating the actual facts eg. Buying a pair of shoes that now sell at triple the price!!!!…I understand that businesses have to make a profit but let’s be real Santa ,Christmas has now become the festive season for con-artists.

I have nothing against you Santa but I really have to write you this letter.I know how you began your line of work as St.Nick, a truly great story that I wish I had known when I was a little kid(would have saved me a lot of grief back then especially when I didn’t get what I wanted for xmas.)But sadly,over the years your whole reputation makes no sense when compared  to the true meaning of xmas.
Christmas is not just about the MERRY/MONEY making season,  it holds the deepest and most meaningful occasions,even atheists know that!!! I know you know I hated Sunday school, but at least I got something from Sunday school cause I am no  fool not to know that Christmas is Jesus’ birthday.
Christmas is true self giving, that’s why I really have to say my mum knows what it all means considering how she slaves out in the kitchen for hours trying to prepare the most heavenly food I have ever tasted !!If that isn’t self-giving then I don’t know what it is….
Thinking about others should be the climax of xmas, at least it should be that one time in a year when we forget about our egocentric lives.That’s the reason why you give out presents,it’s a giving season.Too bad,people make it sound like the receiving part of giving counts more than the actual giving. Giving with love,pricetags should be forgotten(sometimes cheap things hold more value,eg. A smile )
I must admit though, I sometimes get caught up in the frenzy of celebrations that I forget to look back and be thankful for everything, especially  the time I have with my loved ones.
I also admit that this is the time of year when my weight doubles cause of the eating spree( I might as well grow a belly like yours)

But what am really trying to say is that the christmas should be a cheerful season,  full of love n warmth…is that so much to ask for?

Love Umy.

PS: You can always ring the doorbell,don’t be late or else you will find me asleep past midnight :)

The Man That Made Me Believe In Impossibilities

How do I write about a man whose loud presence can’t be ignored? How do I begin to describe a man whose life should be written down in volumes of books, a man whose battles and achievements could literally make you wonder why you have never tried out that daredevil in you? A man whose blind faith and roaring spirit will leave you believing that anything is possible, as long as you just do it! I have never written down anything much about my father, mostly because words won’t do him justice and because you need to experience him to actually know who he is. He is tough, he is loud, he is sharp and witty, he never gives up and he is simply my papa. I know I will never get it right when it comes to the adjectives that could describe papa, mostly because he is more than words. He’s the man who’s taught me to live in the moment, because we can’t really trust the future. A man who’s taught me to be witty, because sometimes you have to outdo the book smarts to survive. A man who’s ta...

The good,the bad the ugly…the beautiful years of my life!

Happy new year!!!Two weeks down the line, and I still can’t predict how my 2013 will go down. I bet that’s the exciting part about new years( except from the annoying fact that I still   keep writing down the dates as 2012). Took me a while to write my first 2013 post,mostly cause I   had a cliché   idea of writing something about fresh starts,but I won’t take that turn.New year means a lot of things not just new beginnings, it’s also about rolling with the days as they come even when everything seems to stay the same, year in year out. Above all I can’t deny the fact that am alive, who knows what could have happened and nothing makes my heart more grateful   to my God for that blessing. So my first post this year is a lyrical piece written and   dedicated to my 2012 memories and 2013 ‘s unpredictable events. Two decades,that’s how long    I waited for you… If I could wait this long,then what could   possibly go wrong? I knew so...

Start Acting, Stop Typing

June, how I've waited for you! 23 days down with  30 minutes to spew out my thoughts to the world. Here we go... I never like to talk about my life in here, instead I only add the bits I feel would implicate me less in this era of  'hey guys, welcome to my channel'. As much as I want to keep things mysterious to spice up my online persona, I feel like a lot can go wrong with an audience that hides behind screens. I would rather take my chances on being as evasive as possible. Yes, I'm admitting  to my cowardice.  However, I will defend my stance by saying that whatever thoughts I type in here, are rarely inspired by my own life. Rather, they have everything to do with how I perceive the world (people/places/things/ANYTHING)  around me. That's the inspiration. What I hide  is under lock and key in  a mind vault labelled "PRIVATE, for Yvette's crazy thoughts only". The world around me and how I would like to change it through the words I share is wh...
