De Beers: A Diamond is Forever

Lovely jingle by De Beers. Unfortunately there is no full length version of this song. So for those who don't know what I'm talking about, watch the above. It's a song by Cat Stevens....full lyrics below.

How can I tell you
that I love you, I love you
But I can't think of right words to say

I long to tell you,
that I'm always thinking of you, always thinking of you
But my words just blow away,
just blow away

It always ends up to one thing, honey
And I cant think of right words to say

Wherever I am girl, Im always walking with you
Im always walking with you,
but I look and youre not there

Whoever Im with, Im always, always talking to you
Im always talking to you, and Im sad that
You cant hear, sad that you cant hear

It always ends up to one thing, honey,
When I look and youre not there

I need to know you, need to feel my arms around you
Feel my arms around you,
like a sea around a shore

And -- each night and day I pray, in hope
That I might find you, in hope that I might
Find you, because hearts can do no more

It always ends up to one thing honey,
still I kneel upon the floor

How can I tell you that I love you, I love you
But I cant think of right words to say

I long to tell you that Im always thinking of you
Im always thinking of you....

It always ends up to one thing honey
And I cant think of right words to say

A breather....

I think I have become overbearing of late, even a little annoying at times.
Perhaps due to my lack of daily activities I have found nothing more entertaining than to just show up and smother people with my presence. This is not healthy, I have begun to get bored of myself and I'm sure beginning to make one sick of seeing me.

I have a dire need of things to do. Studying should be one of them but I think my habit of procrastination has made me not able to do so until I absolutely have to. This is bad.....bad bad bad. Cause then, I will be flooded by paper work and subjects that sound like foreign language when the time comes. Literally up to my neck in papers and words.....A lifetime of procrastination can really come back and bite you in the arse. Goodness!!!! arghh..........

Dying Young.....

Dying young.....a movie I remember watching a long long time ago about a young cancer patient
Then I think about the people I know who have cancer, and they are mostly older folks.
Recently however, it seems that this disease is no longer bound by age, or any other factors for that matter.
You think, people who smoke get lung cancer, but so do those who don't!
Those who eat well, live well and exercise lots, still get it. So what is the prevention really??

Despite being able to prolong life, it still has to end at some point. Some, earlier than others.
Back in the days, 40 was old, and now 40 is just the beginning. We have managed to almost double our life expectancy but there are still things we cannot control.
Now, I have known several peers who have been claimed by this disease, none past the age of 30. Cervical cancer at 18, some odd cancer at 17, stage 4 possibly stomach cancer at 26 and another pancreatic cancer at 29. Some have fought long and hard, others suffered for months.
All being said,

My deepest condolences to the families and friends

Zorba - talk about sheer size....

She sure doesn't look that big in the picture but, this dog was 343lbs and 8ft 3inches from nose to tail tip. Surely, the massive mastiff... she was named the worlds largest dog in 1989.
