If only things were different...

He unexpectedly shows up in front of her house
He gives her a phone call: "Come out!", not even a please
He gives her a hug, but she feels no butterflies like she used to.
"Why are you like this?", he asks her as if he was expecting her to melt on the spot.
She looks at him with hate in her heart... "I can't believe he allowed us to drift apart."
They stand and talk, she's actually listening to him but her mind is somewhere else.
"Give me a kiss?", he asks her
"No"
They sit outside and talk, she wants answers.
Why? why? why?
He thinks its a joke
She says something wrong, he kicks her, punches her in the stomach and there she slams against the wall.
"You shivering, come we go and sit in my car."
She walks to the passenger seat with slight pain.
She pulls herself together and gets in the car.
He's trying to show off with the new sound system in his car.
He says that he missed her.
Those words means nothing to her.
"I still can't believe you did that."
She then thinks back to the few seconds ago that she felt the kick he gave her.
She sits there wondering why he came in the first place.
After all the blame and hurt, she thinks to herself...

"Things will never be the same again...."

Life goes on...

This is the part where I seriously wonder why things always go wrong or when something sudden happens when you expect it the least

There's no use going into detail about it because it really hurts. Ok fine there are people out there who went through alot worse but seriously its the first time that the hurt is so bad. Yes people tell me there will be better days but seriously they weren't there when all of it happened or there when those promises were made.

Picture this...

You meet someone and you think, ok fine he's cool, I like this about you and I like that. Then he comes with all the sweet talk and he promises the sun, moon and the stars to you. Obviously you going to melt on the spot but then reality hits you after a few months. After months of perfection, after months of smiles and laughter, after months of saying we going to stay together. In a split second things fall apart and what hurts the most is when you ask yourself: "Is this the same person I met a few months ago?"

Well after all of this it is time to take a break and figure out where I want to be, where I want to go and what I want in life

CIAO!

Sometimes I wonder: Do they really care?

Yes I am referring to males....

I always wonder what the hell is happening in that big head of yours. You don't tell me so I suppose I must smell. Why don't they ever just decide one day: "Ok I'm gonna be like a loser and just dedicate an hour to pouring my heart out". I really don't give a damn if you think its boring or whatever but it actually means something to me. Its like I can never figure them out and they just think everything will get better in time. Well it actually hurts not knowing what the crap is going on. I'm actually trying not to use fowl language here but seriously it is FRUSTRATING...

A little advice to Nazzy, if he doesn't care why should you???????

Until next time

Challenges and Solutions that go hand-in-hand with sources

As a journalist you depend on sources to actually publish any piece that you write. The sources that you use can actually make you or even break you. Here follows a list of challenges you may face when looking for sources.

• You a student and people actually hesitate to give you any information when you ask them
• When people hear the word 'journalist' they actually freeze when you ask them a random question
• Sometimes you don't have access to media like books or the internet
• Sometimes you think you've spoken to the right people and you just end up with a lot of crappy information.
• Time-management plays a big role in finding sources. You might have limited time to actually interview someone or the person just does not have time to speak to you.
• If you are maybe in a financial crisis it difficult for you in terms of transport to actually go places and go see people.

Here follows a list of solutions to finding sources and making things much easier for you:

• Don't reveal immediately that you a student, that might just mess up things a little bit.
• Try to work out a schedule for yourself to make sure that you don't sit in a crisis where you don't have enough time to get to everything.
• Try to interview more than 2 people just to be on the safe side and to make sure that you are satisfied with the information that you got from people.
• Try to build up contacts, then you know who to ask the next time you need someone
• Always be prepared and what I mean by prepared: rejection
• Always make sure you keep record of all your sources

Living life as a journo

Sometimes I wonder why I'm really studying Journalism....People ask me and I answer them:"Well it was my second option". They then ask me:"What was your first option then?" I then say Medicine...They look at me puzzled like I almost told them to go to hell.

I've always been interested in the media, especially Radio....but being on campus for the past month now actually made me realise that I'm enjoying what I'm doing. Sometimes writing a piece for English or News Writing sucks but you get used to it because that is what makes you a better writer. Even though it seems boring at times its actually fun

Until later
