Skin: The Movie

The story

This is the true story of Sandra Laing, a black girl born, through a genetic anomaly, to white Afrikaner parents in apartheid-torn South Africa.

SKIN is one of the most moving stories to emerge from apartheid South Africa: Sandra Laing is a black child born in the 1950s to white Afrikaners, unaware of their black ancestry. Her parents are rural shopkeepers serving the local black community, who lovingly bring her up as their ‘white’ little girl. But at the age of ten, Sandra is driven out of white society. The film follows Sandra’s thirty-year journey from rejection to acceptance, betrayal to reconciliation, as she struggles to define her place in a changing world - and triumphs against all odds.

I was able to watch the movie and let me tell you that it was such a tragic, sad, painful, enraging, and uplifting story. The Apartheid Era was a bad period and it's encouraging to think that so much time has passed.

He is Mr Wrong: The Signs

Discover how to stay away from Mr. Wrong so you can make some room for Mr. Right!

Let's be honest with ourselves. Sometimes, we just know certain guys aren't right for us, but we ignore the warning signs anyway. We hope that they'll change. Or that they'll grow out of it. Or that somehow, all of our love and devotion will rub off on them. Not so! So let's get real about all of the Mr. Wrongs out there.

* He won't tell you he loves you -- or even that he likes you. If he can't express any of his feelings for you after six months, or even a year for that matter, you've got to face facts. He's not that into you. If he was, he would muster up the courage to let you know -- or to at least make sure you felt the same way.

* He won't hang out with you in public. He's either ashamed or afraid he'll get caught. Either way, he is not a keeper.

* He is unavailable on all major holidays, include Valentine's Day and his birthday. Here is a hint: He's already married or otherwise engaged. Don't buy excuse after excuse that his mother wants to be with him on every holiday. Can't he bring you along? And what is his excuse for Valentine's Day? Is he getting a couple's massage with his mom?

* He is paranoid that you'll read his email, look at his cell phone or see his computer screen when he's chatting. This is an easy one: The man has something to hide.

* He hits you, yells at you or makes you feel like you're not worth anything. Any one of these -- or anything along these lines -- are deal breakers. You deserve better. And abuse in any form isn't love.

Think about it. Life is too short to be wasting your time with Mr Wrong.

Payback is a ''Beeeyatch''

Life and Hapiness

On se persuade souvent soi-même que la vie sera meilleure après avoir obtenu son diplome, s'être marié, après avoir eu un enfant et ensuite après en avoir eu un autre...
Plus tard, on se sent frustré, parce que nos enfants ne sont pas encore assez grands et on pense que l'on sera mieux quand ils le seront.
On est alors convaincu que l'on sera plus heureux quand ils auront passé cette étape.
On se dit que notre vie sera complète quand les choses iront mieux pour notre conjoint, quand on possédera une plus belle voiture ou une plus grande maison, quand on pourra aller en vacances, quand on sera à la retraite...

La vérité est qu'il n'y a pas de meilleur moment pour être heureux, que le moment présent.

Si ce n'est pas maintenant, quand serait-ce ?
La vie sera toujours pleine de défis à atteindre et de projets à terminer.Il est préférable de l'admettre et de décider d'être heureux maintenant qu'il est encore temps.
Pendant longtemps, j'ai pensé que ma vie allait enfin commencer.
La vraie vie! Mais il y avait toujours un obstacle sur le chemin, un problème qu'il fallait résoudre en premier, un thème non terminé, un temps à passer, une dette à payer.
Et alors, là, la vie allait commencer!.. ..Jusqu'à ce que je me rende compte que ces obstacles étaient justement ma vie'.
Cette perspective m'a aidé à comprendre qu'il n'y pas un chemin qui mène au bonheur. Le bonheur est le chemin...
Ainsi passe chaque moment que nous avons et, plus encore, quand on partage ce moment avec quelqu'un de spécial, suffisamment spécial pour partager notre temps, et que l'on se rappelle que le temps n'attend pas. Alors, il faut arrêter d'attendre de terminer ses études, d'augmenter son salaire, de se marier, d'avoir des enfants, que ses enfants partent de la maison ou, simplement, d'attendre le vendredi soir, le dimanche matin, le printemps, l'été, l'automne ou l'hiver, pour décider qu'il n'y a pas de meilleur moment que maintenant pour être heureux.

LE BONHEUR EST UNE TRAJECTOIRE ET NON PAS UNE DESTINATION.
Il n'en faut pas beaucoup pour être heureux. Il suffit juste d'apprécier chaque petit moment et de le sacrer comme l'un des meilleurs moments de sa vie.

Le temps n'attend personne.

Things Women and Men Are Thinking During Sex

What ladies are thinking in bed.

1. "Oh, man!"
2. "I hope he's not noticing my wobbly parts!"
3. "Did I shut off the coffee pot? I think I did, but I kind of don't remember doing it. Did I? Yes, I definitely did."
4. "Ugh, let's get this over with. "Gossip Girl" starts in ten minutes."
5. "Oh, John! I mean Jeff! Oops, glad I didn't say that out loud. Wait, did I?"
6. "He's gotten GOOD at this!"
7. "No, buddy, that's not it. Valiant effort, though."
8. "Ack! Is that a BIRTHMARK!?"
9. "Wow, he's been working out!"
10. "Hummuna, hummuna, hummuna"


What Guys are thinking in bed.

You might think the thought process would just simply be, "Oh My God!" or something like it, but actually -- he has his own sex-worries too. It might be hard to believe that once he's getting some he's still got concerns, but it's true.

Here are a few things your man is thinking about while the two of you get it on.

Make It Snappy
Sometimes he doesn't want to take all day with the nookie. No matter how much he loves the sight of your naked bod, sometimes a quickie is all he needs. A night of loving is nice, but sometimes a mind-blowing quickie is way better than a mediocre all night session.

Forced Fetish
Yea, it's sexy when you can surprise him with a whip-cream bikini -- but not every night. If you can't ditch the props for a night or two, it's going to get old fast. Also, some men can be intimidated by that kind of aggression.

Measure Up
This one you might know off the bat, but he worries if he's doing well. Guys do hope their performance is good and think about everything from if he's pleasing you -- to worrying about his size, so it couldn't hurt to stroke his ego from time to time.

I can already see some of you laughin'
