The first of February 2012, and that was yesterday...heavy rain visited Darwin, Northern Territory and I was frightened. As if it won't stop. Some flooding occurred in some low areas but thankfully it did subsides so quickly and the effect is not so bad, at least no one was hurt.
Of course there were some properties damaged, and I am repeating myself here 'at least no one was hurt.' Today, the weather is in between, but gee! Anyone been in the Darwin bus during this season? I say no more!
Is February really is the month of Love? Is this right? Who says so? Do you believe in it? How come? This questions I don't have the right answers...but I have some views about it.
For me everyday and every month, or three hundred sixty-five days a year, 24/7 = is all for love! Why do we have only to remember and appreciate people we love on February 14, of each year? Is a dozen or a single red, yellow or whatever rose's colour, a box of chocolates or lollies or whatever we can get from the supermarkets and other shops that we think represents what we feel and that we believe that can make people we love happy. But all this fancy things are all there poking our eyes....we ALL blinded by COMMERCIALISM....and THE CAPITALISM...
Blindly believing that things on the shelves is the only thing can make our loved ones happy...which in truth it is NOT. Nothing can surpass the LOVE OF US FOR THEM. And that love needs deeds for without good responsible deeds....IT is a DEAD LOVE! What else OUT there that is more precious that would convey our feelings of how much we love our loved ones aside from 'HUGS AND KISSES' PLUS THE MAGIC WORDS 'I LOVE YOU VERY MUCH.' For me this is priceless!
Today while we were in Casuarina Shopping Square I can't help myself going into a florist shop and OMG...I can't see cheap flower arrangements....ranges from $35 the cheapest up to $415.00 the dearest....whooping...jumping kangaroos and laughing jack...are the prices! Mind you it is not all fresh flowers...the most are combinations of plastic and all, I can't believe what I am seeing.
The blind-eyed love!
