20 Year Romance (One Day!)

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , on November 15, 2011 by Simply Enlightened

Today I decided to blog about a book I just finished reading called ONE DAY! Its a story of girl meets boy and what started off as a simple one time encounter that leads to a wonderful friendship that ends in a tragic love story. To me this is of two people who spend a life time wanting and needing each other. Dn’t we all feel like we experience that once before? someone that makes our heart race just by a simple stair? so reading this book was one of those “I cant wait to find out what happens next.” I lovely read as far as my interests go. I even found myself discussing it with my friend at the salon and not surprised she had read and loved it too.

The main characters are Emma who is this not so fashionable girl who doesn’t have much coming out of graduation and wants to be a writer (boring right) and a handsome young go getter type guy Dex who’s looking for an enjoyable ride and has it all handed to him. A one night stand that they both find unforgettable! Leaves her feeling full of him, but not enough to mention it and him who enjoys her company but cant/nor wants to commit to her in his early life. Put it this way she wasn’t his first option! not sure if this is because he wanted the simpler way and maybe knew that as simply as she looked on the outside the inside is where the work was needed. This book left me with a wonderful impression because I found every girl feels in ways similar to her character and ever guy wants to be him. He’s got the moves the looks and the money! she’s got the confidence and the brains to be herself. I liked this about her! :) not to mention when she applied herself as she grew she realized that the beauty she possessed surpassed any good looker. I dnt want to spoil the book cause its a good book and I think everyone will take different things from it but I will say that its very real and very possible and although there are some curve balls throughout the book that may leave you a little shocked and in wonder I promise this one is a good one. The movie is released on Nov 29 2011 on DVD so i’m looking forward to seeing it but doubt it will be anything like the book. Just a quick post since I’ve been slacking! or busy either way. Happy Reading! :)

Stage Party night

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , , on June 9, 2011 by Simply Enlightened

June 4th 2011 we celebrated a very special ladies stagette party 2 weeks before her wedding. This special bella, is my BF sister and to make it a super special night out we went with a company called stageparty. Website: stageparty.ca a company I would highly recommend they made the evening stress free and smooth. Our Driver Wendy was super sweet allowing us to break the rules.

We began the evening checking in to a beautiful Delta Chelsea DT Toronto. When we arrived at front desk the lady took care of us and upgraded our room and sent the bride to be a plater of grapes wine and cheeses. Yummy! Loved the service there. While I went to the first location to assist her future ant with setting up and dropping of my delicious Shrimp balls that my sister was so kind to make for the girls and my chocolate strawberries and super delic cheesecake and italian pizza. The girls back at the hotel got ready while pre-drinking.

Soon enough I was back and we had a few shots and drinks while we all got ready. What a night it was. WE started at her ants house on St Clair and Dufferin a beautiful area. Her sister made the most delicious cocktails for us all we snacked drank laughed and the bus arrived on time. Everyone enjoyed all that we made.

We all loaded in the bus and had a blast dancing on the pole. It was a pick bus with a pole in the back super fun! The driver Wendy was amazing. We pulled up to the club Devils martini DT continued dancing with our buzz until a police officer entered the bus.  OH NO! The music stopped and he approached then the song started and the dancing begun he started to dance towards the bride who was wearing a tiara that the stage company was so kind to give her with a baggie of gifts. He slowly removed he’s cop uniform and ending up in front of the bride down to nothing! he then entertained her and took turns with each women on the bus. I was laughing it was fun!

Once he was done with us and we were done with him we went to the club. They did some beautiful renos inside its all white with dancing poles very nice I thought. we had a few drinks danced a little and went back to load back onto the bus were they drove us down to El Convento Rico.

 Now it was getting later in the evening and this place was packed. We went in dance and then the show began. The was fun to watch the drangshow we sat right in front and danced a little with the entertainers. that was super fun. we had a blast by the end of the night we loaded the bus had complimentary pizza served to us and headed back to the hotel. we saluted the driver who we loved and I thanked her for doing such a wonderful job. I got in the room and jumped in the bed I had been up since 6am cause i worked that morning so I was exhausted. In the morning we woke up got dress and had a great breakfast on a patio DT it was a night to remember. FUN!

My love Poem

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , on April 28, 2011 by Simply Enlightened

<3 FOR MY LOVE!  <3

When I say I love you, U say you love me more

U say it is forever, I say you’ll never be sure

You know my heart beats for you, And you hear its roar

Cause when am with you baby, Am so far from being unsure.

You make me feel so happy, Just watching you soar

I see you standing in front of me, And it makes me want you even more.

For love is in my heart, So ill tell you about the key

It located in your heart too, If you decide to choose me

Am never going to love again, If you’re not the one

Cause loving you has been so great, I wouldn’t want just anyone

Cause in the past I’ve hurt before, And that was far from fun

But you have saved my heart from that, Because you love me and say Am the one

I say you’re my king, U say am your queen

But one day you will really be, the king you’ve never been

I love you every day, In every single way

The feeling of your kiss so soft, When it touches on my skin

The temperature I feel rises, And then I feel you within

You say your so lucky, Being in my life

But little did you know, Am the lucky one

You call me your beautiful girlfriend, And ask me to look at me

I tell you I see you, And that’s all ill see.

I know you have no clue, Of how I feel for you

But you will see one day, That I was made for you

I waited all my life to find, The one to take my heart

And now that I have found you, Were never going to be apart

For loving you has made be rich, A thing you cannot buy

A pearl in the ocean, Is really hard to find

The day you came into my life, I knew then it was true

My body felt a glimpse, of what was to be you

I’ve waited for you all me life, you waited for me too

cause when I saw you for the first time, you said you saw me too

My love for you will always grow, So much more then you’ll know

Cause loving you is all I need, Before I have to go

They say heaven is a paradise, And so this may be true

But loving you is my paradise, And it wouldn’t be so

If I wasn’t with you.

Dedicated to my loveer! xoxo

The Male Brain by Louann Brizendine

Posted in Uncategorized on April 25, 2011 by Simply Enlightened

This book was good! weather your a mother, sister, girlfriend, teacher, father, grandfather, brother, wife, or husband. If you want to understand the way a males brain works this book will explain it to you. better yet for the ladies if you wanna understand these men and there reactions to situations this book will help you discover that. One thing you probably all know that I didn’t was that female is the primary body, Pretty cool Id say! I always knew we were the best species but that just toped the cake we have history! Without us it just couldn’t be. It takes approx. 8 weeks for the Y gene to take over and begin to create the male organs for a baby boy. The other neat thing she said was that at the age of 5-10 a boy already begins practising facial expressions to hide emotions where as women do not. she also goes on to explain how males are more sensitive to emotions then women only they hide them behind there ego. The male brian has many differences then the females and although I haven’t read the female brian yet, am sure when I do I will find some interesting things about why we are the way we are. This book is a great tool for someone who deals with Men on a daily, and equally beneficial for a man to read to understand himself although the things she explains in her book will prove to be true, when the male you offer this book to says he doesn’t need to read it! of course he doesn’t lol! Another interesting comparison she made was metaphase men have it! it just called something else and were us women have been dealing with the feelings and commitment etc… parts of our brains since we were 20 those male brains only begin after this change in there body, usually around 50-60 years of age. Interesting a males cuddling more at that age expressing more emotions at that age Not so much sexual although he can still fertilize an egg he will loose the wanting. He will be more in tune with his feelings and what he requires to be complete and happy. Imagine that we have to all wait till that age for them to act a little more like us. They have it tough cause I know some men who are very affectionate who say they love to cuddle and hug when actually they are just doing what they KNOW the female craves pretty smart men I’d say. Or not so smart cause there not being real! If your a female or male and you wanna understand a little bit about the functionality of that Male brian this book was informative and keeps you interested. There is a lot to learn and a lot to understand when it come to why we are the way we are!

Here when you need me!

Something happened this morning that made me think about posting today. I friend from over 12 years ago sent me an email to tell me that her father passed away over the weekend. When she and I were in elementary school we used to go to each others houses for lunch. We became very close friends id say BF in our later years of elementary school. Stuck like glue, laughed till it hurt and partied hard together!

This is the girl I smoked with, drank with, laughed and played with and sometimes even fought with. After all these years and during such a sad time in her life. She hasn’t failed to remember the friends that shared special moments with her and her family and although she should probably be talking about the tragedy of what has happened, she messaged me to invite me to the funeral but also to tell me how dearly his father felt about me. Just hearing that brings tears and smiles to my eyes. Because he was a wonderful man Husband and father. I remember what a wonderful family of love and care they were and how many wonderful days I spent with them all. Which in turn helped shape me in a way.

Its funny as the days go by in this short life we have on earth, we end up fighting, arguing, hurting and thinking such negative things in our lives with our loved ones. When what really matters is what we have today cause tomorrow is not a guarantee and I realize this today after my friend lost one of the most important person in her life, her dad.

Love of music

Posted in Uncategorized on March 2, 2011 by Simply Enlightened

I don’t know about you, but when it comes to music am attached. It makes me feel good and its not one type I like. I like them all from Jazz to Hard rock. I hear it everywhere I go, even sometimes I hear it and its just me, no radio. This morning I forgot my headphones but no worries I have a back up on me at all times. lol! while on my way to the office this morning I looked around and I noticed lots of different things people do to pass time. some play music some read books papers some people are already working on there computers. I thought to myself passions these are the passions people have, and its lovely. we are all different and enjoy different things. A friend asked me recently if am an Oscar person someone who tunes in. my response was not even close. I like my music I post videos on my FB throughout the day and I listen to it, but as far as choosing who is best I have no opinion. To me, if it sounds good am happy! Lots of us have different taste in things and its a great thing cause it proves we are all in are own and I like the idea of that. Make us all unique! to many people are things that they are because of the people in there lives and sometimes never really discover what they like or what fulfills there desires. when it comes to what I enjoy its music! Id pick it over TV, reading, writing, If am cooking Id like it in the back if am driving def on the radio, if am running or walking I cant do without it. If there was a tv show on guess the lyrics I would probably go pretty far. usually a new song. I research as far as what the lyrics are, when it came out, and what was the artists meaning behind it. I find it interesting! Enjoy the sound of music! :)

Chicago V-day weekend

Posted in Uncategorized on February 14, 2011 by Simply Enlightened

Today’s Valentines day (Love Day) and I can’t say I need anything more then what I have right now. Cupid <}–)— thank you for shooting me with your arrow.  Am super happy! I have the most amazing BF. My Valenitno and I went to Chicago for the weekend. Without giving to much details, I will say a few things about it, the city. We stayed at the Trump international Hotel for a few nights and was it ever something, the service was spectacular, the view, the food the room was beyond anything I had expected. The trump is one of Chicago Top hotels and they really prove t be. it is also the second largest building in the city. When you arrive in your car there are already expecting you and they open your doors looking awesome very clean and they greet you but not one person but the hole way in different people welcoming you. The guy who help bring up our bags said enjoy your stay at The Trump Chicago Mr and Mrs Santeramo and Happy valentines day! That was funny and seeing my baby’s face was even better. The hotel had Chocolate on the bed, letters throughout the room, it was wonderful. The room service was pricey but well worth every penny. The blinds had a control that you press for them to open the view was gorgeous I loved that, The mirror in the washroom had a TV in it. OMG and the shower. It was sick! That was nothing though the spa the pool the lobby the food it was all mind blowing. We both enjoyed it so much were planning on going back. On our sec night I got to introduce him to my beautiful family we all went for a Delicious Mexican dinner, it was amazing there and everything went better then planned with my family. Although I didn’t get to see them all, It was a great time. I got to talk to my cuz whose engaged and in charge of all the satellites in the sky, really cool and happy for him!   Hes growing into a nice young man. If your planning a trip to a city, Chicago is a beautiful place, I wanna give you more info on my blog but some of these stuff needs to be private. I will say I loved the weekend it was the best ever! High recommended! :)
