Gaming Day


Yesterday my boyfriend and I invited our friends over for a gaming day and some casual drinking. We  all had such a good time and were laughing so much. I think the laughing has actually made my asthma worse as well but I don’t really mind. I’ve actually broke down crying from laughing and not being able to breathe. It was a good day (for once :P) I am so forgetful I've forgotten most of what we did. So a very short blog post but it's okay.
Does anyone else cry when they laugh, Heather ^.^

The simple things make me the happiest

I wrote this when I was on holiday :)


Today when I woke up things didn't look too good. My boyfriend is unwell, I didn't get a good sleep, the caravan was freezing. However I looked out the window and saw a few ducks. Now I love animals so I was really excited that they were so close to our caravan. More and more ducks joined and soon the few ducks had turned into a group of them. Excited I jumped up from the seat and begged my boyfriends family to let me use some bread to feed them. My boyfriend even though he's ill got his coat and shoes on and joined me as I ran out the door. The ducks started to move away as they heard our shoes hit the stone path. I gently threw the bread towards the ducks and they all ran towards where the bread has landed. I was so happy seeing them all eat the bread and quacking. My boyfriends parents think I act more like a child but a simple thing like feeding ducks makes me happy. I felt really good and I have never been so close to that many ducks before. Feeding animals always makes me happy and I think it always will. I've always wished I was Dr Dolittle and could speak to animals but since I can't I'll settle for feeding animals and hopefully making their day a bit brighter.

Later on that day I also wrote:
Today turned out to be better than I thought it would be. We went to a Wild Animal Park (basically a zoo) my boyfriend knows I love animals so he told his dad that I would love to go there but no one told me this so it was a wonderful surprise when we arrived there. I was so excited to go in and nearly ran to each enclosure to see the animals. I always feel bad because sometimes the enclosure feels a bit small but I would never get to see these animals if I didn't go to zoos or something similar. There was hippos, reindeer, giraffes, rhinos, lions, tigers, bears, different types of monkeys, otters, bats, vultures, kangaroos, ducks, leopards, penguins and some others that I either couldn't find the picture and description for or couldn't get a good look at them to match them to the picture. I had so much fun running around with my boyfriend seeing all the beautiful animals and taking picture of them. Unfortunately the pictures are not that great.


Being happy at simple things, Heather ^.^

Always wanting things I can't have

Anyone that knows me, knows that I am a gamer. I play games on my xbox almost everyday. However I've come to that part in nearly every gamers life when your beloved console is dying on you. My xbox is really needing replaced. I would love to buy one of these three xboxs!

1) R2D2 xbox with C3PO controller!

2) Game of Thrones xbox and controller

3) Halo 4 xbox and controller
I adore these three xboxs! I think they look fantastic. I know they work the exact same as the plain black ones so wanting any of these is purely cosmetic but I can't help it they are so awesome! I don't have the money to buy a new xbox plain or designed.


I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that my xbox will survive a bit longer., Heather ^.^

Patch Adams

I saw this film today for the first time. Which is strange really because I watch a lot of films and it was made quite some time ago. 


Anyway I loved it! It's based on a true story. Patch Adams is determined to become a doctor but his love for helping others, excessive happiness and the way he develops a friendly relationship with all his patients doesn't go well this the medical board's way of running things. He soon notices that poor people can't get the medical treatment they need so he as a student formed the Gesundheit Clinic. The clinic was to aid those who could not get the proper treatment at the hospital and to give them a better quality of life.


 Just the way he always works towards his goals even when things go wrong or when bad things happen he is still motivated and cheerful. It's so inspirational.


SPOILER ALERT! :P 
During the film you see Patch develop a romantic relationship with a woman called Cairn. She among others help Patch with his clinic. He starts to recite a poem for her one day when she wakes up but doesn't get to finish it. She is then killed by a man she was trying to help. At her funeral Patch waits till everyone is gone. Then alone he stands at her coffin and finishes the poem just as he said he would.


Although the whole film was memorable it was that poem that stuck with me most. It reminds me of my boyfriend. How i feel about him. It's like the poet knew exactly how i feel and wrote it. This is the poem ^.^


Sonnet 17 
By Pablo Neruda

I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, or topaz
or the arrow of carnations the fire shoots off.

I love you as certain dark things are to be loved,
in secret, between shadow and the soul.

I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries in itself the light of hidden flowers;
thanks to your love a certain solid fragrance,
risen from the earth, lives darkly in my body.

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you simply, without problems or pride:
I love you in this way
because I don't know any other way of loving
but this, in which there is no I nor you,
so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand,
so intimate that when I fall asleep
it is your eyes that close.





I would recite this poem to my boyfriend who i love so deeply but i'm not sure how he would react and i'm quite shy so i'd get really embarrassed and stuff lol.


This really has to be one of my new favourite films <3
