What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

This is pretty much all true... when it comes to people's emotions, most of the time I see right through them.
July
hello my lovely fans and readers.... i know theres at least a couple of ppl who come by....
it's july and very warm at that, about 30-32 degrees here every day. 
unfortunately still havent got a tan yet! that's the Irish genes for you!
have been looking at Twitter, a site which seems to be blooming into something massive nowadays, but seems more like a gimmick then anything.
don't really get the massive appeal of hearing that something is saying "I'm going to bed" or, "i'm off to eat", which are very common Twitter one-line entries, but it must be working...it's getting hugely popular. and it's seen on most sites in some way or another.
Twitter is petty much instant messaging, short to-the-point messages or links, with a blog feel. but still, although everyone keeps talking about Twitter, I must have come in too late in the game to really "get it", so i'm sticking to my humble rarely-updated blog for the time being.
anyway, life here in gibraltar is excellent. have been here for about 3 months nearly and it's been great fun. Beaches, dolphin safari, aquapark, constant sunshine.... it's a constant holiday...
ayway, i'll be off now. i think there's a power cut at the moment... xx
August
Dear Lord change not Thy will in my life,
Or trial and sorrows to be;
Renew my faith and make me strong,
Change not Thy will, change me.
Though teardrops fall when trouble comes,
Like storms on a rolling sea;
Let Thy beacon guide my ship to port,
Change not the storm, change me.
When Thy Holy Word I don't understand
And Thy glory I cannot see;
Teach my eyes, give me sight and wisdom,
Change not Thy Word, change me.
If the fruit Thou hast given me to eat,
Taste bitter and sour, I plea;
Let not my will but Thine be done,
Change not the fruit, change me.
If sometime I murmur and grumble, dear Lord,
About the cross I carry for Thee;
Keep it firm on my shoulders, but hold my hand,
Change not the cross, change me.
If You change Thy ways to please me, dear Lord,
I would soon grow cold and turn from Thee;
That You may hear my prayers, dear Lord,
Change not Thy ways, change me.
There's a valley that I must cross,
Someday Thy face to see;
Lest I forget what power is Thine,
Change not the valley, change me.

November
This is a special day for many people especially in places like Mexico or those of Mexican heritage, and something I don't understand. Itś Dia De Los Muertos or Day of the Dead in English, connected with the Catholic holy days of All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day .
They believe that their dead loved one comes to visit them on Novemeber 2nd. So, they set out alters, and fill it with the favorite things of thier loved ones who have died. This can be their favorite food, beer, and flowers. It's probably a little weird seeing the alters and stuff, because this is something I absolutely do not believe in. I am not a Catholic firstly. Like Halloween the day before, this originates in Paganism. Indigenous observances date back thousands of years to an Aztec festival dedicated to a goddess called Mictecacihuatl (known in English as "The Lady of the Dead"). Over time this festival, like many others stemmed in Paganism have been incorporated into the Catholic Church.

I won Journal of the Week! how exciting! 
To everyone who congratuated me, i will personally thank each of you but for now thankyou to all who left messages of contraluations on my tag board or on blog posts. Much appreciated! Its a real honour to be chosen for the JOTW award! 
My husbands birthday was on Sunday, and we ordered out from our favourite Chinese place Kowloon (which incidentally is owned by my husbands boss!), which was great... ooh im hungry thinking about it! i need to get me some dinner!
my husbands brother completely forgot that it was his birthday on Sunday until he was reminded, so he gave my husband about 30gold worth of armour on World of Warcraft as a birthday gift, which my husband gratefully accepted as 30gold is an awful amount of money on the game!
Now birthdays are out of the way...oh no,yet more spending! Christmas is just around the corner! My parents are getting their presents in January when they come and visit, and they are giving us our presents then too so we have a while to get presents for them. I gotta start looking for presents for other people though, and i can feel my bank account emptying already....
Take Care and i will post soon i promise...
