About Me

Hi! The name as you can see is Manda, I'm 27 and I presently live in Sydney - although I would really like to move to the sunny Gold Coast ASAP. I would of been there already if "STUFF" didn't happen!!! Funny how that happens! :) I love life and I love to have fun.. My interests are are varied... I love to read a good book, or go fishing, love being near the water (whether it be just sunbacking or maybe lying in the water on a lilo in Hawaii or snorkelling - just anything will do!),having dinner with friends. I am a bit of an adrenlin junkie...love stuff that makes your stomach drop and your pulse run...I've been skydiving - that was awesome - would love to get my license so I could do it whenever I liked. Would love to bungee jump somewhere amazing. I LOVE old people!!! I think they are such treasure chests.. and the current generation of oldies have had a tough life and made many many sacrifices and suffered hardships in order for us to have the life we do now. I look after the oldies for my job and find it so rewarding making their last years on Earth just that little bit better ( I hope). Im passionate about mental health.. Im currently studing for a Bachelor of Counselling which i love. I know that I am called to make a signifcant difference in the lives of young people and their ways of thinking and encourage them to become what God created them for. Also to help those that have fallen off the wayside and need direction. I cant wait to start to put my skills to use. I love animals and i am CRAZY bout cats... I had 2 beautiful Siamese cats up until last year when I had to move... One unfortunately died and the other has found a lovely 'new' home in Qld. I really miss them!!! :( I love going places I've never been before and hopefully in the next year will get to do a bit of travelling... so far I have only been to Hawaii (not that I am complaining) I loved every moment of it...

My Interests

Things I have learnt........1) The glass is always half full. Just because you are in a bad situation does not mean that something good can not come out of it....its not always easy to see but it is there.2)I have learnt things happen for a reason.... I believe there is plan and purpose to everything and that if you have to learn something you can avoid it all you like...it will just keep coming up till you have learnt it.3) Love never fails.....but it is so so so hard to find true love...not in a romantic sense but just someone to love you just as you are.4) You cant change other people... no matter how f*&ked up they might be or doing something that is just not good for them you cant make them change their mind... it has to come from them5) You cant change yourself for someone else..... any change that happens personally needs to be something that comes from the heart and is completely and utterly for yourself... if it is not it will not last.6) Boys think with their penises always.... Men think with their heads most of the time and with their penises the rest of the time.7) Trust is something that can take a long long long time to build up but it is broken in a second8) I am the master of my own emotions and what I learn from things that happen in my life is completely up to me.... I can choose to ignore it, I can choose to learn from it..9) I have learned that I am allowed to be angry... people do things that deserve anger however it does not give me the right to be cruel back to them or wish for vegence.10) I have realised that people can look at the one picture or circumstance and yet see two entirely different things.11) People will always let you down..... no one human is perfect.. we are selfish and self centered and no matter what you think people are always going to let you down at some stage12) I have learnt that friendship and love are ever changing and growing... it just gets better ...but once again to find these sort of relationships is hard.13) Sometimes its not enough to be forgiven by someone else.... sometimes you need to forgive yourself also.14) I have learnt to never expect things to be what you think they should be......

Television:

For everything there is a season, And a time for every matter under heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; A time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; A time to break down, and a time to build up; A time to weep, and a time to laugh; A time to mourn, and a time to dance; A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather stones together; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing; A time to seek, and a time to lose; A time to keep, and a time to throw away; A time to tear, and a time to sew; A time to keep silence, and a time to speak; A time to love, and a time to hate, A time for war, and a time for peace.
