2007-07-05T12:21:00.000-07:00

Ok so this is the story.. we get called up by good ol shaun to watch dvds at his place. This however included a couple glasses of wine and this was the outcome:

So after a couple glasses of wine, and a couple of smokes, we managed to hit the dvd. Dont ask me what the name of the dvd was but i fell asleep twice. (Not that it wass boring or anything.. but i just fell asleep... i tend to do that every so often).

It was a kiff evening and im just gonna leave ya with the photos to look at and not write a whole post on the evening. I mean.. how much can you say abut a dvd? Chow*

What a day...

2007-06-04T11:56:00.000-07:00

Man oh man its been a while!

Anyway, so you cant honestly expect mE to update from like how long ago..

Im gonna try do the best i can and iom sure that as i start gettin into my blg again, the ideas and memories will just role onto my blog! Befoore i begin, may i just please ask for you to excuse my spellin mistakes. My keyboards playin up a bit!

Anyway... At the moment, im slavin thru the exams! Its been so crazy! My first exam started Friday and i managed to complete the one today without any tears!
So here's the story of today:

Rolling outta bed at 6:00, i left my house at about 7;45, ready to pick up my friend Lauren and fly down Fields Hill to the pits of hell.. Our varsity.. So having taken the uno, i managed to squeeze into a parking outside the Sport's Complex Hall of our varsity where our exam was apparently destined to be. Approaching the doors at about 8:45 (that's it, it sometimes takes us like an hour to get to varsity dependin on the traffic). We managed to shuffle to the venue whereby we had to check our seat numbers. Scanning the local area, we hesitate as we notice nobody from our degree was present whatsoever but merely those from sport's science etc.

Our hands start to shake a lil as we pateintly and calmingly reassure each other that it's in the sport's complex(meantime we both know we're at the wrong venue). Having approached one of the lecturers with quivering lips and shaky knees, he advised us that he had not heard of our disclipline writing in the Sport's Complex, but may be in the main hall or in T-block. Now for the life of me, we have both been attending the same varsity for 3years and neither of us know where the hell T block was situated!

We then progress from a shuffle to a canter as we approach my Uno with flying books. Screeching out of the parking lot to the top of the varsity, lead us too the parking lot outside the main hall. Now the timeis approximatley 8:50 and our exam starts at 9:00. I find an open parking, knowing it was reserved and not open to students but i tried my luck. Yanking up the handbreak, and stumbling out of the car, the two of us race to the main hall until

...... Ah.. Yeh... Sorreee... Eh... dat piking is reserved....

Me: Huh.. no way sorry, but late for an exam, cant talk now..

Ok yeh, so eventually i gave in after he started threatening me with his lil knob of a baton.

Lauren ran ,like Lassy to identify whetehr the main hall was where our exams were held, whilst i atttempted to move the car to the next closest parking. Same problem again!

His companion sarts threateninng me as well! Eventually i managed to slip my car into a dark, dodgy delivery spot. So i sttumble out of the car for the third time, yanking down my creeping-up top and tugging at my rather revealing hipsters. I evenntually approached my blonde friend in the middle of the varsity quad. We didn't know whether to laugh or cry, as Lauren approached me, telling me there was no one present in the main hall.

So you wondering how long it took us? Now the clock was sitting on 8:58. That's it! That's how fast we moved. But we were still sitting with one problem.. the last resort... T block!

But wherethe hell was T block?

Ok so eventually we were identified by the bypassing lecturer! Oh my.. have you ever EVER been releaved too see a lecturer before? About that T block... well, it was actually where we had our Psych lectures! Ok so we didnt atttend many of those, hence the confusion!

We rush into the double doors and enter the front of the lecture room, whereby a number of lecturers eyes were scarring us from behind, as we gradually and silently took our places.

So that was today! Apart from that, i attended a 21st on Friday evening- Haylee's Maquerade ball and a braai of the ex! But let me not waffle onto that yet. Wel be here all night! Will post lot of the pics next time!

Apart from that, my mother graduated Psychology -honours oon Wednesday last week and these are some of the pics!

CHat later and will try my best to keep ya updated!

Mwah*

You love ya girl?

2007-05-25T04:30:00.000-07:00

HaHa... i know this is coming from a female but i think this is pretty funny! Dont get anny ideas though!

The Proper Way To Treat A Woman.
Type:
Just for Fun - Inside Jokes
Description:
The rules on how to treat are the following. If you have ideas for more please feel free to contribute.

1. When she asks how she looks, shrug and say "could be better." This will keep her on her toes, and girls love that.

2. Never hold her hand. This can be interpreted as a sign of weakness. If she grabs your hand, squeeze hers really hard until she cries (this will impress her by showing her what a strong man you are).

3. Once a month, sneak up on her from behind and knock her over. Girls are like dogs; they love to be roughed up.

4. Call her in the middle of the night to ask if she's sleeping. If she is, say "you better be." Repeat this 4 or 5 times until morning. This will show her you care.

5. When she is upset about something, suggest to her that it might be her fault. This will pave the way for her own personal improvement, and every girl needs some improvement.

6. Recognize the small things, as they usually mean the most. Then when she's sleeping, steal all her small things and break them, because jewelry is for pussies.

7. If you're talking to another girl, make sure she's looking. When she is, stare into her eyes, and grab the other girl's ass. Girls love competition.

8. Tell her you're taking her out to dinner. Drive for mile so she thinks it's going to be really special. Then take her to a burning tire yard. When she starts to get upset, tell her you were just kidding and now you're really going to take her to dinner. Then drive her home. When she starts crying and asks why you would do something like that, lean over and whisper very quietly into her ear "...because I can."

9. Introduce her to your friends as "some chick." Women love those special nicknames.

10. Play with her hair. Play with it HARD.

11. Warm her up when she's cold...and not by giving her our jacket, because then you might get cold. Rather, look her in the eye and say "if you don't stop complaining about the cold right now, you're going to be complaining about a black eye." The best way to get warm is with fear.

12. Take her to a party. When you get there, she'll have to go to the bathroom (they always do). Leave immediately. Come back right when the party is dying and yell at her the whole way home for ditching you all night.

13. Make her laugh. A good way to do this is if she has a small pet. Kick the pet. I always find stuff like that funny...why shouldn't girls?

14. Let her fall asleep in your arms. When she's fast asleep, wait 10 minutes, then jump up and scream in her ear. Repeat until she goes home and you can use your arms for more important things (like basketball).

15. After you have made love, say "listen toots, put your knickers back on and go make me a cup of tea". If she laughs, is not out of the bed within 3 seconds, is not back within 3.5 minutes, or the tea is crap/does not come with decent biscuits (or any combination of the above) tell her that it's over until she learns to make better cups of tea; a Woman loves to better herself - give her the chance to do so.

16. If you care about her, never ever tell her. This will only give her self-confidence, then you can never turn her into the object she deep down desires to be.

17. Every time you're in her house, steal one of her shoes, earrings or anything else that comes in pairs. Only take one of the pair. This way, she'll go crazy.

18. Take her out to dinner. Right when she's about to order, interrupt and say "no, she's not hungry." Make her watch you eat. Girls love a guy that speaks for her.

19. Look her in the eyes and smile. Then punch her in the face. Girls love a spontaneous guy.

20. Give her one of your t-shirts, and make sure it has your smell on it (but not a sexy cologne smell...a bad smell. You know what I'm talking about).

21. When it's raining, keep asking her if she's crying. She'll say "no, it's just the rain." Ten minutes later, turn to her and just scream at her to stop crying. Girls like a tough man.

22. If you're listening to music, and she asks to hear it, tell her no. This way she'll think you're mysterious.

23. Remember her birthday, but don't get her anything. Teach her that material objects arent important. The only thing that's important is that she keeps you happy, and your happiness is the greatest present she can ever get.

24. When she gives you a present on your birthday, Christmas or just whenever, take it and tell her you love it. Then, next time you know she's coming over on a trash day, leave the trash can open and have the present visibly sticking out of the can.

25. If she's mad at you for not calling her when you say you will, promise her that you will call her at a certain time of the day. This will make sure that she waits by the phone. Tell her when you call that you're going to tell her a special surprise. Now she'll be really excited, then don't call.

26. If you’re ever travelling on public transport in a foreign country with your girlfriend, make sure you stand near the automatic doors. When the bus/train is at a platform and the doors are about to close, push her off (if she falls over it’s a bonus as she is less likely to be able to re-board said vehicle). This will leave her stranded in a strange place with no way of getting home…. What an adventure! And will also teach her to never say your relationship lacks ‘spice’ again.

You gotta love this game!

Ok so even though the sharks lost on Saterday as a result of Steve Walsh's mere stupidity, how can you not love this game?!:

Squinting through my black eye..

2007-05-07T09:35:00.000-07:00

Ok so here i am.. trying to find some form of motivation whatsoever to write this post.. Let me start off right about here: I got a black eye!

That's it! Let me tell you, the other girl isn't looking so well off herself! Only kidding.. This is my pathetically vague excuse for a story of how i got my black eye! It was such a sense of relief and hope, finding out that fridays were a no-o for varsity as our lectures for that particular module have come to an end. It does however appear that i end up either having to still grace them with my presence by either handing in a report of some sort, or ,like last weekend, end up sick in bed, coughing and spluttering until my whole wall is saturated with the germs.. ok sorry.. that was a little extreme. But this previous friday i thought was going to be an absolute bliss, turned out to be a little painful.

Our varsity requires that we have the Hepatitis A and B vaccinations, in order to cover us to some degree of immunization. Anything to keep their hands clean of course. So here i go waddling along to the doctor, after having dropped my little pooch off at the pooch parlour for a trim and blowwave. After having the little jab in my left arm, i gracefully stand up and approach the exit of the doctors rooms, leaving the waiting area, as i gracefully wave all the nurses, doctors and receptionists a farewell! A feeling of dizziness envelops me, as my body starts to tingle as i start walking towards the car park. Nevr fear, for i though i'l just approach my car and take a couple of minutes to rejuvinate. Nevr mind that.. I pass out, hit my head against the brick wall, approaching me on the right hand side, before hitting the floor with immense force. Ha ha.. What happened next? I woke up in the doctors room with an ice pack on my right eye, a roasty up my right arm, a couple of bruises and lack of memory. That was the scary part, having being knocked out and waking up to having no clue whatsoever where you are and why you there.
Eventually a couple of minutes passed, as they checked my blood pressure and allowed me to hop back into my car and drive home. Ok at the time i was in no state to think realistically and all, but how the hell could they say their farewells and allow me to drive home after being knocked out for some time?

So, it eventually became the swinging joke and i managed to get outta work on friday night and just sleep. Saterday, surprisingly my mother managed to convince me to join her at the pavillion. Usually i go without any hesitation whatsoever, however my head felt like i had been hit by a ton of bricks.. Well. i guess in some sense, that's what happened. Alls good though, i managed to score a pair of boots and a jacket outta my mom (provided by my father of course).
Hey.. i should knock the other eye too! Roxy and i now officiallymake a good match- her with her badaged up nneck and lack of thyroid gland and me with my blue eye. So we decided to do dvds then and there on saterday evening, with the company of Troy and Daniel. A desperate call for more badages lead the four of us driving to the nearby pharmacy. I'm surprised security hadn't arrived after the pharmacists had seen us all beaten and bandaged up, standing next to two males. They were suspecting something, im sure. There appeared to be no further concerns regarding my eye, until the others noticed inner bleeding in my eye,, aaargh,, sorry to put you off. Luckily it's just in the corner and having approached the doctor again, i was told that it should clear within one to two weeks! So the evening only ended at roughly 4am in the morning for us we eventually managed to fall asleep. Sunday i had to wake up at like sparrows fart, as i had to rush off home and attempt learning for a test i had to write today.
These were my initial intentions, until i took a couple of myprodols and crashed on my bed for the day, only having woken up at 7pm and ready to learn.

So today was a bit of a strain, and i managed to gain a bit of symnpathy from one of my lecturers, of whom let me off for her lectures for the day. ok so i took a little detour on the way home, bypassing the pavillion and managed to buy a pair of heels from Foshini's. That made my day a little:) It's so amazing how people react to a situation like this. Some people asked out of complete awe, whilst others tried to avoid the situation and spoke to me with a smile, acting as though it was something as small as a mosquito bite. Ha ha.. meantime i know they're probably thinking i was in a fight or summin:)

So here i am, sitting in front of my laptop as my eye changes from black to blue to purple to any other colour you could actually think of. Luckily i generally wear a lot of black around my eyes:) Anyway.. all i knoow is this week is gonna be a beating with the amounts of presentations and tests. I managed to squint through the first test today and now just waiting to get through the next three weeks, until we're on study leave- yeh!

Rox and i had a little fun with the camera.. i'm gonna try get the pics from her on my eye and her neck and wil try my best to post them sooon.. ha ha!
For now.. im over this..

Back to the good ol days...

2007-05-02T11:06:00.000-07:00

Ok, so i stumbled across a couple of my very good buddies of mine from school and managed to get a couple of pics froom them. they'l probably kill me if they knew their pics were here but im over it:) i may have mentioned them in my previous posts:

Just too cute*

2007-05-01T12:57:00.000-07:00

Ok.. so my brother kinda swayed me into looking at his blog, hence the reason i've posted these cute little nookies up. He kinda huffed and puffed when i told him i wanted to post a couple on my blog but i got over it and posted some anyway. i tried to post as little as possible, but how could you? These things are just way too cute!

Still alive...

2007-05-01T01:11:00.000-07:00

Oh my word... sorry my dear friends for having you hanging so long with this blog!
Anyway.. little bit of catching up but cant say that much has happened over the past few days cause varsity has been torturing lately and im really over it..

Moving on.. So where do i begin?
How bout i give you a little itinary of my long weekend hhmm?
Ok so not to the extreme but will let you in on a little of what's happening in my life:

Man, Thursday hit me like a ton of bricks. We had to go do hearing screeninng at a school, however my body was tuning me otherwise. There we were, five of us like clumped in a single room, closed doors and windows (to prevent any ambient noise), coughing, spluttering, sniffing and snorting away. That's it, the germs from one rather sickly indivdual spread like a forest fire until the room became one big feeding ground! So after screening, what was suppose to be a double lecture, ended up me lying in bed with the sniffles.. aargh.
Thursday and Friday evenings were both spent in my miserable state at work, greeting every customer with friendly smile, yet sniggering under my breath, knowing that those dam customers that were so impatient for their seats would soon have a little dose of what i was experiencing, if they got too close.

Moving along. I know.. i didnt have much of a phuza-Thursday or Friday cause i wasnt up for a jol. I even had to turn one of the guys from work down, as he had asked me out for coffee after work.
Friday, being the public holiday, i managed to roll outta bed and visit my dear friend Roxy, in hospital, minus the flowers or chocolates. We even contemplated askin one of the staff at the hospital whether we could maybe borrow a set of their arrangements, displayed on the countertop and would replace it. Anyway, it was just Troy and myself that went annd visted her. Murphy's law, she phones as i'm standing at the entrance of the hospital. So i keep probing for her to talk as we waddle our way up the elevator and across the passages (she has no idea we're in the hospital) I got her to explain to me every bunch of flowers she had received, until i walked into her ward with the phone in my hand.. Oh my.. how good was that hey? I was so chuffed with myself....(snigger) (snort)

So we chilled a bit there and made ourselves at home, as we left creases on their finely laid linen.
Troy and i then headed for musgrave, where we mannged to quickly suckle down a coffee and beer (he had beer.. not me.. aaargh). It was time to head for the sunset, displayed across the horizon of the Durban roads undergoing construction...yeh.. what a pretty site.
So as mentioned before, the evening was spent at work, until i was ready to get home and slip into something warm and swig a glass of Corenza C.

Saterday, we proceeded with the normal procedure of following up on the shops at Pavillion.
So apart from walking away with a magazine i bought nix. I did however mannage to make a friennd at the Billbong shop near YDE, where she spontaniously approached me about her liking to my bag.Her intentions were to hit Panama Room and she had just bought the most divine Guess shoes which suited my bag. The end result of the conversation was a 30%-off-any-item-anytime-you-want sort of offer, under the breath of her voice. So i was like... ah no thanks.. ah shame.. ah are you sure... ah ok then... ah if i have to....ah ok YES PLEASE. What a good heart! Im sure she just wanted my bag, but anyway, we exchanged numbers and gonna do the whole coffee thing. She's so similiar to me.. thats what makes it so funnny! I dunno what that means, cause im still trying tyo find myself but we really do get on well.

So then we proceeded with a table full of the afrikaans delicacies of biltong, peanuts, raisons and Carla's touch of English by contributing a bowel of cupcakes, as we all slumped in front of the t.v. waiting to watch the SHARKS VS. LIONS 33-3 win. What a difference when Peterson can actually catch the frikkin ball! That evening was spent watching the 'Hostle' dvd and the 'Goal' dvd. Oh my... no jokes, i actually shed a tear or two in the movie Goal.. it was just so touching!
Hostle on the other hand... was like a little love movie. No literally.. this movie served more as a porn movie than anything else with a hint of horror, just so someone can label it as a 'horror' to make it look not so bad. Ok so i guess it was just the beginning of the movie that was probably the worst. The rest of the movie consisted of cutting off fingers etc...yeh.. aint my type of chill!

So then we hit Sunday... We approached John Dory's with empty stomachs for my uncles birthday. Lunch for me consisted of a John House salad with two glasses of semi sweet wine on the side. Oh ya.. and had a bit of cheesy garlic, shared amongst the table before the mains.
I then headed to the hospital again, picking up Troy and Daniel on the way, where we surprised Roxy for the second time. We spent some time there and as it started getting a little dark and quite in the hospital, the three of us went for a quick drink at Firkins in Pavillion. The atmosphere was really awesoem there cause they had a bannd going and everything.
An sms on my phone then swayed me to Tappas in Waterfall, where i joined Lauren, Jono and Leon for a couple of drinks there. Well..ok i had one. Man.. by the time i got home... i was exhausted. I can't stop sleepin man!

Then.... monday... sorry man.. you can stop reading here if this post has been way too much fro you to comprehennd for now:)
Ya.. The day was spent doing a frikkin assignment. our lecturer said she was gonnna have lectures, eben though we told her that no one is coming in. There's onnly like 6 of us in the class and no jokes.. but when they tell you they aint comin in for lectures.. think about it.. No.. but i still think she went in.. So Monday evening (last night) i went to a braai at my friend, Simon's house (laurens bro).. The evenning was really awesoem.. felt like new years all over again.. What made it a little more exciting was the fact the my ex was there.. Ok .. not exciting... just a little awkward. And so weird.. havent seen him since like the last time we broke up, which was a bout a year ago annd..... i feel absolutley nothing! I honestly thought it would have affected me but no affect whatsoever.. Bring me a lie-detector test right now.... Il prove it!
On that note.. i had another little distraction on the side.. troy and i were smsing each other and i think that took my mind off things a bit... i dunno how i feel but man he treats me so well and he's got a real good heart.

So here i am.. sitting in front of my laptop on a tuesday morning, no varsity.. this could be life for me.. aargh.. dreading the weeks ahead but i know it has to be done..

K.. so going to braai at out one today for Dan's birthday...
keep ya all update though... k??!!
Mwah*

Memories that weren't remembered...

2007-04-23T10:00:00.000-07:00

Okay guys, so here we are again, bringing forth the good ol memories of good ol splashy... well.. not that they were really remembeed i guess but hence the reason we take photos right?

Well here is goood ol Dan and Nina.. ok.. Nina looks reasonable but i think Dan is.. lets just say, struggling a little. I think all he sees is that funnel in his dreams!

This was actually the Sunday i think. It was a rather mellow day as you can probably tell right.
Most peoople started departing the vibe and leaving the core of corruption, whilst the rest of us just parked, chilled and hummed to the mellow tunes of 'Zombie' (thanks to Roxy)

This was the real vibe. Bopping and humming away to the tunes at the Burn tent.. That's it ..Burn tent.. i can smell that jeolousy for all of you who didn't attend this fun festive event!
May i just add a little summin here on this space?...... Sheepdown... i want your babies! and some other band but can you believe i actually forgot their name.. wait for it...no.. But ill unravel the events of splashy in my head and im sure it'l pop up somewhere. I think it's called City Bowel Mizers... oh my word.. i think that was it! It must be love

I dunnno who looks more sober.. Kyle or Nina
Anyway.. this was at the top.. again.. in the Burn tent.

Haha... this was the Hippie tent. Funny enough.. they actually got raided:) Moo haha:)

And there we were again.. back at the campsite. Everyone stoked for life. Clearly you can see it was coming closer to leaving the good ol joint.

Moo haha .. there's a corsa in the backround!
That was a personal joke for all those withinn the vicinity of our camp site.

Dan and i...ya.. he was outta bounds for that evening, hence the tape.

Kyle... i dunno if that's so cool though

Moo haha. i stole Dan's camera:)

Paula and Kaylee (dunno which version of spelling-sorry;) anyway.. they were just.. chilling.

Rememeber i mentioned the funnel Dan was seeing in his dreams? That's it. i think everything and anything went in there from Vodka to potency to tequila to Brandy and even custard...aaargh.. somebody had to ruin it! I think you may even see the custrd curdling if you zoom in;)

My bro looking a little domesticated by cooking a little combination of scrambled eggs, bacon and bully beef..aaargh!

So that's the second version and hopefuly there'l be a third version somewhere?

ok... feel free to leave... comments:)

Mwah*

I'm not a bad person. Am i?

2007-04-23T05:10:00.000-07:00

Hey all!

Well let me just start off by apologizing about the delay in my blog. The weekend just came and went and my head has just been spinning! At this moment in time, im sitting in front of my laptop with numerous thoughts and concerns gnawing away at every inch of my mind and body.
Ok, that was a litttle extreme but lets just say i gotta lot on my mind. never fear though. I'l begin this post by firstly unfolding my weekend for you.

As i scrolled through the messages on my phone, one popped up before my eyes, informing me that Friday's lectures were moved and there was no reason to go in to varsity. This was a relief, however meant little to me as i still woke up the usual time. Moving along.

After having worked friday night too, i received a phonecall from Lauren requesting that i join her and her boyfriend for an evening at 54. As mellow as i was, i agreed. We eventually ended up arriving at 54 at about 10:30pm. I was ready to crawl out of the window and dive for the threatening roads, as the two love birds started fighting, creating tension in the air. What a love hate relationnship. After having arrived at 54 and having my friend treaten him numerous times, we became acquinted with the car park as i tried to sway and convince her otherwise.

The tears were dried as i see the couple crossing the road, ennveloped in one another's arms. I managed to meet up with a couple of friends from Splashy. Read back to one of my previous posts- 'Why am i so fussy'. I spoke a little about a friend of mine. Anyway, he was there and i was introduced to a couple of his friends. Ok so many of you may or may not know that i'm speaking about a guy by the name of Troy. Anyway, let me firstly add something which i found rather disturbing. Don't worry, i'l get over it but at this point in time, im just trying to express my feelings here. I was rudely approached by the bouncer at the door. As i was walking through the doors and reaching for my wallet in my bag, the bouncer requested that he see my stamp. So clearly i had accidentally walked through the wrong side of the entrance. After having explained to him that i was prepared to pay, he was making out as though i was some sort of liar, and that i was trying to duck or something. Being rather defensive, i had shown him the wallet i had in my hand. Having glared at me for a couple of seconds, he then requested that he see my I.D. Obviously i no problem showing him. What made me want to strangle him anymore was that he glared at my drivers licence and back at me, with this look as though it wasn't me! i actually even laughed at him cause i really couldnn't believe it! H looked at the licence and back at me like three times! Now i have no problem them asking for I.D. etc but you don't have to firstly accuse me of being a liar and still treat you with such disrespect. How come you go to like Casablanca, Joe's etc annd they treat you with such respect and they're really awesome. I still remember the Tiger bouncers were so friendly and respectful! You come to 54 and they have this 'im a bouncer-beware' impression. Whatever! I'm over it now! Get a real job.... ok i'm sorry.. that was mean.

Moving along. Saterday ended up to be a rather short, yet enjoyable evening. I managed to get a photo with Lauren taken (yeh... show me sexy.. show me sexy)...sorry, however i don't know whether or not im prepared to post it yet. Let's just say it's not a true reflection of my beauty.. kiddin:) But seriousy.. aint gonna post that one.

So i stumbled into the house at about 12:15 (from tiredness, not booze) and managed to catch a couple hours sleep before the sun welcomed me with a beautiful day.. (how lame)
We had promised Troy and Daniel that we would watch rugby in Queensburough, as Troy played. So we graced them all with our presence and cheered on the sideline... ok so most of it was really just chatting but we cheered for them at half time. Does that count?
We ended up going to Daniel's place for a braai afterwards. We just chilled, listened to music and watched a dvd. We left fairly late (or early) as we realised it was like already 2:30am. I ended up just staying over at Roxy's house that evening. Having not eaten the whole day, it was goood to have a little something small to eat, befoore crawling into the bed and falling asleep.

Im just in a really difficult situation i really dont want to be in. It's a long complicated situation but lets say that i'm a bit hesitant seeing these friends of ours from splashy because one of their ex's is actually one of my friends and under no circumstances do i want it to look as though im disrespecting my friend whatsoever. If it'l make you understand a little more, go read the comments on my previous post. I have nothing to do with that specific issue, as it wasn't Troy's ex, but Daniel's. It just has an impact on me being able to see Troy though. It would be a real bummer if i couln't see him, cause we have so much fun together and we really do get on well, but if it means upsetting this friend, i may have to think twice about it. I mean, she's not a close close friend of mine, but it would still make me feel really bad. You could say that it has nothing to do with Troy and i, but it still puts me in an awkward situation, with the other two. Anyway, i'm sorry it's very vague and i hope you managed to make sense of all that. I didn't want my whole post to be about that because that would bore you way too much and it's really something that i gootta try figure out and don't want to sound like a morbid drip whatsoever. Im sure many of you reading may know the situation anyway. Whatever.. over it:)

On a lighter note, i'm proud to say that i only have 2days of varsity next week! That's right!
Friday is a public holiday (for those of you who didnt know) and Tuesday is also a public holiday. we then manged to twist a couple of the lecturers arms to give us monday off to. And now friday's lectures have fallen away cause we finished with the lectures for that particular module. Moo haha is all i have to say and sorry for all you!

Anyway.. that is news in my life. Well not all of it, but enough you have to know;)
I'm sorry if this post was a bit of a dampner but as i say.. just get over it!
cheers for now!

Some of my pics when i was a model...

2007-04-19T13:53:00.000-07:00

Well.. there i was... galloping from one side of the varsity car park to the other, as i eventually became saturated in the downfalls of todays rain. That was just not on. My run started as a canter and gradually unfolded to become more of a stroll as e clutched the files under my arms. Having given up hope on saving my strategically straightened hair, i waved the cars go by as they raced past, making sure every puddle was eliminated as the tyres approached it, resulting in excess water spraying every inch of my body. Thanks for that. Considering today was a clinic day, and one in which we had to dress 'professionally' i ended up at the school (where the clinic was run), looking like a German Shepherd having gone through a washing machine over and over again.

So my manic run, ended up to be more of a stroll through the rain, as i lost all sense of hope, dragging my bag through the puddles, formed by the cracks on the roads.

I slumped in my car,squeezing the water from my clothes, as it peeled off my skin. I even turned the ignition on to dry my hair under the fan, thinking it would at least make my hair look a little more presentable. Man, was i wrong.

Anyway, as the clinic came to an end, it was required that all of us return to the university where lectures would proceed. Lauren and i had an alternative idea as we hopped in the car and proceeded on the road leading us back to Kloof, where i eventually crashed on my bed and ennded up sleeping for like 2hours in the downpour. Onnce i had woken up, i felt a little bad about missin the lectures but eventually got way way over it.

I then had to roll outt bed and get ready for work, as the sun was already settling in the distance. Work ended off rather mellow.

moving on.. i've come to the conclusion that im doing my hair again. My options are to become a potential blonde, by introducing subtle highlights, resulting in a possible overall subtle, not-too-striking blonde. My other option was my usual.. dark. this however often made me look a little goth but i did however use to get compliments. At the moment im swaying a little more to the blonde cause i havent had blonnde in a while. To create a more 'accurate' picture in your head, these will be the end results:

ok.. so this is what i will look like if i go blonde. Just a hint of blonde:)

And this is what i'l look like if i go darker:)

ok so that part was a joke but seriously you people, i need some suggestions mkay! Would be greatly appreciated!

Besides all that thinkinng and copyin and pastin.. it's time for me to go to bed.. got no varsity tomo which feels really goood:)

Mwah*

ok so it's a little late, but get over it...

2007-04-18T10:12:00.000-07:00

ok so scrolling through the Thunda.com site, out of the nnumerous amounts of photos taken on Friday, 13th of April, i managed to stumble across this one.. Look familiar:)

Well.. thats Roxy an i having an awesome evening. We only managed to get there at like 12:30 and stayed till about 2:00am. We were probably like the most casual people there, seein it was like last minute. What a jol. Believe it or not but that's actually water:)

Mxit- screw it!

2007-04-16T14:14:00.000-07:00

aargh.. after having a super hectic day at varsity, consisting of three presentations and a report to write, my cellphone manages to flicker on and off into mxit.

Man, i was so excited to finally have it loaded onto my phone, after they previously told me i don't have a sony ericsson, on the download page, which of course i do have.
So anyway, a lot of frustration was put to rest when i managed to download the not so cool ,'upgraded' version. So there i am.. awaiting this moment for how long, im like a kid with a new toy. Until... i start sending and recieving messages. It just aint happening for me! i would like send a couple messages and after that, no more would go through? Then people would send me messages of which i would not recieve? Yet, as i first login, it sometimes has the ability to send and receive.

Today i had a full on conversation yet it seemed as though after some time the conversation was like cut. I dunno if anyone out there experiences the same sort of problems or am i just hallucinating?
And to all those people who were thinking of writing a pathetic little message as to hoow they dont agree with mxit or how they dont like it, don't lie to yourselves. It's awesome and you know it! Sometimes it just requires a lotta patience!

Anyway.. thanks for your sympathy and time:)

Presenting Splashy 2007:)

2007-04-14T07:40:00.000-07:00

Ok guys.. will keep youi more updated when more photos come in..

Man, why am i SO fussy?

2007-04-14T03:38:00.000-07:00

Man what a day.. So freezing that i had to defrost the ice formations moulded on my toes and scurry from my bed to the bathroom. My garden became saturated as i peered ouside my bedroom window and the droplets formed patterns on the glass.

So as i roll into my car, i hit the roads and head off to Roxy's house where we were to watch 'Borat'...moo haha and 'Johnny Tucker must die'. I became anxious as i stared at the two dvd boxes, my hands sweating to reveal the shiny cd's reflecting their glistening light at me.
Opening the one, i felt at complete awe when i saw the Borat dvd. All is not over yet. The seond box is opened at i felt the colour drain from my face as Roxy says ' what the hell..' i peer over , only to expect the worst. Some pathetically, lame excuse of a Western movie was sitting in the very pocket' of where 'Johnny Tucker Must Die' was suppose to be. Anyway.. the first thing that came to mind amongst the three of us (Roxy, her brother and myself) was Carpe Diem- sieze the day. We werten't gonna allow anything to dampen our day. I wouldn't know who is trying to get us back at summin or what plans they thinking of as revenge but that was just not cool hey. But we continued to hold our heads up high throughout the movie Borat. Ok so occasionally we bowed and shook our heads i shame throughout the movie(as most of you can imagine) but otherwise all was good...

Ok.. so then we became aqcuinted with the coffee shop 'House of Coffees' where Roxy's mom was kind enough to buy us lunch and steaming cuppacinos. We were led to believ there were rather 'dodgy characters working here. As Roxy left the message 'Mwah' on the bill, our assumptions were swayed otherwise as the waitor was left blushing behind doors.

The day settled as Roxy and i stood like bouncers at the doors of our work.. Spur (hostess, NOT a waitress:) So we kinda managed to que and we kind of got over the whole scene when we sat down with Roxy's family and joined them for dinner.
Next plan up was dvds at my house, considering the weather was still threatening a holocaust.
We managed to snuggle up amongst mounts of blankets as we slipped the dvd 'Wedding Crashers' in. We got half way until we got an invite to join a couple of friends at 54. So there we are.. the two of us getting ready for 54 at like 12:00 in the evenining. We only managed to arrive at 54, once half the crowds were drunk and ready to catch their taxis to escourt them to their destinations, wherever that may be. So we made attempts at smiling at people as we walked through the doors and were welcomed with squint eyes and the stenshes of stale booze. But still, we managed to over come the thick shadows of 'drunkeness' and recahed our destination- the dance floor of 54.

So we managed to meet up with a couple of mates and were welcomed by many other familiar faces. We only ended up arriving there at like 12:30am, but the floor was pumping with awesome music. It was really amazing as we managed to meet up with tons of friends. The music at this time was house and a little trance, which got everybody moving.
We even managed to hook up with a couple of friends from Splashy, which felt like a real Splasht reunion! It just became a little intense when one of the guys confessed his feelings for Roxy and another guy for me. Its a pretty long story and i really dont know what's gonna happen from here, but lets just say that this guy has such an amazing heart. I'm not gonna go into too much detail but it's pretty intense and it often leaves me thinking. Man, he really is special though..

Moving on from all that...we managed to depart 54 at about 2:00am and once more headed for the.. moonlight. No alcohol in the system and we still managed to have an awesome time.

So today, now, i sit here and await. This 'amazing-but-unsure-boy' asked me if i wanted to go watch him play rugby in Martizberg today cause he plays club rugby. Rovers i think.But due to excessive amounts of varsity and my procrastination abilities, i had to turn him down. Man why am i so fussy? I'm waiting for Roxy to come around with the photos from Splashy so just hang in there. It'l be up soon soon. And we also got a couple of action shots from last night so il post those up to. Till then.. see ya and will definately keep you updated!

Mwah*

Joe Kools... so cool!!!

2007-04-13T17:59:00.000-07:00

Well.. ya.. i'm sitting on a frikkin Friday evening at ...(pause) 3:01am in the morning. that previous statement did not make sense did it?Anyway.. just get over it! And another thing you must seriously get over is that i'm a little behind cause im writinng Thursday's news on Friday evening.... or early saterday morning.. whatever... i'm over it so you better be!

Moving along with this pathetic page of nonsense.. Im gonna start off by telling you about my eventful yet intersting two days. They are pretty cool so carry on reading, you poor little bored pieces of chicken squirt. ok by now, im sure you can judge that it is way to late for me to actually function...or too early.. Whatever here we go!

So work greeted me with a middle finger last night with min customers to welcome. But thats ok i guess cause i had to retain the smiles for Joe Kools.. Yay!Well thats what i orignally chanting in my head before i got home. I walked into the door and i felt the flames envelop every part of my body as i approached my mother and requested to use her car for the evening. Well, as far as i can remember, those were my final words of my suicide! For some reason, i could hear nothing but i assure you that her lips were chanting the words of a new language.
Annyway.. lets just fast forward that part.............................

Ok.. sorry.. couldnt push it through the evening so i came with the wise idea of saving the previous part of this blog as a draft and i'm back... and more sane.

Moving on... Roxy and were kindly escourted through the doors of good ol Joe Kools, by her cousin Luke and his friend Matt. What kind people. After having cleared a 2litre bottle of Sprite and Cane between the two of them and allowing us to quench our thirsts with a little taste, we were ready for Joes. So there we are.. walking along the car park as we get picked up by one of these go carts and gradually and gracefully make our way to the entrance of Joes. I must say.. the four of us were in bliss as the wind was flapping gracefully through our hair. Where was FHM when you needed them. I honestly think we should have their number on speed dial in desperate situations like these.

So, as unfortunate as it was.. we lost our escorts as lets just say they were not 'compatible' for Joes on this particular evening. Never fear that you got bounced though guys, i will never mention your names on this sight, Luke and Matt. Oh my.. they probably gonna kill me. Anyway.. Roxy and i being compatible approached Joes with arms wide open, as the other two scurried along to Sun Coast Casino. So not all was bad for them. They managed to coin R200 and approached the doors of Joes an hour later with a smile on their face and an extra R200 in their pockets. It must have been the confidence that allowed them to enter Joes the second time. It was like an Axe advert. Spray the Axe and you'l even have the bouncers running after you after a couple of woofs. Anyway.. so there they were. They entered Joes and paused as the beaming strobe lights emphasized their masculine bodies and dark complexions. Their hair was flapping under the air conditioners... i mean... the wind..
Until they see two beautifully striking girls sitting at the bar and waddled their way to make an approach. They greeted us with smiles and cash. All was good... ecxept lazy buggars didn't share and they ended up walking away with R40 in their wallets by the end of the evening.

Well... Joes was the place to be that evening. We met up with a couple of friends who attracted the sparkiling eyes of Roxy as she approached them with confidence.I however followed her like a chicken waddling across the dance floor. Anyways.. if you read a couple blogs back, i mentioned about going to a 21st? This was Jonothan and his friends. They were so much fun this evening. They managed to take the opportunity of the doubles -for-R10 special and boughtlike 12 double vodka and cokes before the clock striked eleven. Roxy and i on the other hand being students.. were broke. We still managed to have fun anyway.
So the evening was spent dancing and sliding across the dance floor of Joes as the bar was attended to occasionally. Oh my... don't you love the song 'How to save a life'... by the Fray? Love it!

So the hour hand managed to somehow reach two o'clock as Roxy and i gradually made our way to the car, dragging the other two guys behind us. Man.. what a beautiful evening. So beautiful that Luke managed to fall asleep on Matt's lap, as Matt was gracefully stroking his hair.... Only kiddin.. i made that part up but Like did fall asleep in the car.

So, the daylight was starting to subtly grace us as i managed to crash on my bed but only fall asleep at like 4am. The Friday morning greeted me with a middle finger as i had to roll otta bed once again...

I lost a friend, yet gained my self..

2007-04-12T03:49:00.000-07:00

Hhmm.. approaching the doors of Stokers on the fine evening of Monday, it came to my suspicion that summin was just not right.

Ok so i received an sms that day to meet a couple of fellow school friends at Stokers as the clock strikes 7:00pm- Well actually that for us means 7:30pm.
So i arrive at 7:30pm with no one from school in sight just yet, except for her.....
Thats it, i saw her as she was swaying in the arms of her boyfriend, and as i most kindly tapped her on the shoulder and acknoweledged her, the presence of a stranger greeted me with shock and surprise. Don't pretend that you're excited to see me again and try make up a number of excuses why you haven't had my nnumber. Dont even try to make me feel better by telling me you've been trying to find it for years. We all belong in the same group of friends, of which every one of them has my number.
Then there is the small talk with the little smile that says 'im pretending i'm happy for you but i'm not really', as she subtly marks her territory in her boyfriend.
It's kind of like, 'look what i have...oh wait.... your's is coming right?... did he go to the bathroom?... where is he?' Yip... that sort of look!

Lets just say we were best friends. Really good friends. Until the earth took a couple of turns around the sun and her head grew a little as she was constantly approached by new guys, requesting for her number. What can i say? I have nothing to hold against her anymore.
I just wish she could stop being so fake. She has this ability to make you feel so inferior when you're around her. High school was a constant battle of dress-to-impress. I LOVED high school at the time but so often you get caught up in the curent of life that you never actually stop to realise who your true friends are. Man have a learnt a lot since i've left school.

I've learnt to accept the fact that there will be people out there that you may not get on with, even if you fight with every inch of your body to agree to. I've had friends tthat have both found and lost love, life, friends, family and even their own self. Through the interaction with these people, i learn to grow an attachment and learn to love these people because they make life worth living and not because of their clothes, their boyfriends or evenn their intelligence. Instead, they are the people i can run to when i feel like i'm choking and drowning in the floods of life. They gradually lift me up from my emptiness and fill me with a sense of hope and the ability to dream beyond my life now. They meet me in rags rather than beauty and they don't judge but rather they listen.

Often i look back at the people who, played a large role in my life, moulding me to become who i am today and i begin to appreciate every person for that. I just don't like it when people are false. Being false won't build me as a person, it won't offer guidanec and support and it definnately won't make me admire you at all. Don't show me your physical beauty, you wealth, your boyfriend or even your intelligence. Instead offer me guidance, show me love and compassion and above all, show me your weaknesses and rags too.Don't ever make me feel as though i'm the only one with the faults and that my life needs to be adjusted to become more like yours. Then what do you have to offer?

I will continue to greet you and make every effort to meet you where you are at. Coffee would even be great, but don't expect that respect to come back in a day. At the same time, i wil not curse this time in my life as it has drawn me to other friends and from there, these friends have become my true soul mates. I have never been in a situation where i dislike someone. But as i sit here, pondering upon Monday night's conversation, i await for that sms of yours...

I should've been an artist:)

2007-04-11T13:36:00.000-07:00

Ok so it's a lil blurred and has real poor quality when displayed here but this is what is presently set as my desktop background. Its just a collage of some oof my friends.

Hope it came out ok on this site?

PS.. stay in tune for the splashy photos- exposed or censored..moo haha*

Last year's Splashy

2007-04-11T07:06:00.000-07:00

Splashy Fen...Oooh my!!!!

2007-04-11T02:01:00.000-07:00

Let me just tell you my friends what an amazing frikkin time i had, camping amongst the shittiest shitholes of splashy and the continuous stenches of either horse shit near our tent or someone's reocurring bile playing up on them, spraying the evidence amongst the saturated, muddy grounds of Slashy Fen.... I loved it!!!!

So this is where it all started...
My brother, Carla and i singing and bopping away to the loving, happy feel-good tunes of Placebo (ya right) and Underoath, as our bakkie makes it's way through the good hearts of Underberg, we begin to wave our sorrows goodbye and enter a new realm of lets just say... complete awe!
Moo ha ha... The sun starts setting, as the dust sprays itself on the glistening vapour of the car windows. Beyond, we begin to screw our eyes to identify any sign of red car lights ahead. At this point, the car was leading us to our destiny..our place of being. We lose the lights, we lose the track. No fear as Splashy is near.

There it approached us like a mirage.. Closer and closer the sight became visible. It was as if there we were, stranded in a desert, gasping for every breath of air and snatching for any sign of water. After 3hours of driving, what d'you expect?
The moon hovered over us, as our possessions splattered the ground like a splattered bug, being smothered by the windscreen wipers of a car.

Well, of coarse, we were all greeted with brotherly love, open arms and a drink at hand.So my brother, Carla and Daniel managed to flip the tent in a number of angles until it was stable enough to stop the minutist bit of fresh air (well so we thought). We wouldn't want to mention that the tent actually collapsed by the second or third night. Those dam tents! Who ever invented tents that collapsed so soon! I mean, what were those spare pegs in the tent for? And those frikkin ropes at the side of tent? Those things only ever got in the way!
Anyway.. my evening was spent in the back of the bakkie, rather than a tent. None of the guys were in the condition to put up my tent, considering they were a little dysfunctional at the time and cause the other tent took them 2hours to put up! Thats it.. two frikking hours! We told them they should'v just used the manual! But those are obviously ban at Splashy!

Moving on... the evenings were spent either watching bands, drinking, chatting and huddling around the rained-out, smoky, non existant fires that now became dormant.
The first evening, i made an aqcuantance. His name was Nico (I think that's how you spell it?)
Anyway, there we were, chilling at the top and waving our hands in the air as the bands took over the stage like a dog on heat. Eventually it was time to do a little exploring. We walked around the campsite until it started to piss with rain! Eventually the two of us were galloping down the banks and slipping at our haunches, whilst leaping across the campsites. I felt like E.T flying across the moon. We eventually approached our tent... or not... This couple of who's veranda we were standing on welcomed us in for a couple of drinks and a bit of hubbly. What a friendly couple they were. So the evening was chilled in their tent.

Next morning approaches me with a numb bum and frost covering my feet, as i gradually awakened to the smiles of strange people walking past the bakkie. Bullybeef and corn was on the menu for breakfast. Having to hold my breath and listen to the crampings of my stomach, i managed to swallow. From there on, i either starved, or made use of the food stores. The day was spent drinking around the fire and meeting starnge people of the campsite. Three men in orange approache us with a funnel, loving arms and an outfit proclaiming, 'The liver must die".
So we got a couple of photos of Daniel and Troy making use of the funnel and everything that went in there including Vodka, Potency, beer, brandy and even frikkin custard! Ok i dunno who put the custard in, but they managed to finish it! Eeeeww.. i would seriously chuck!

The second day i managed to hook up with a friend of mine Jonothan and i met all his friends. We even met a Norwegian guy and a Polish guy! (Who the hell knows where the Norwegian guy came from..he just kinda parked off with us... But that was frikin awesome anyway!)
We spent a good couple of days and nights with this crowd and had the most awesome time ever! We didnt even have a lot to drink and we were platsered with joy! aaaaahhhh...
The bands were so amazing! We even ended up doing some irish dance with this Norwegian guy and all Joes friends. Okay, but i skipped quite a bit. That was like the third night.

Then there was the second night. I hardly had anything to drink and so Daniel introduced me to a new drink of his.. Cant remember what it was. It was in a two litre sprite bottle and i think i must'v had most of it. It was realy good and light... so i thought. Anyway, a couple of us ended up at Kev's campsite where we met a couple of Kev's friends that night too:)

A lot of people decided to leave the Sunday. Okay so we kind of thought of that idea too but the mud and rain was actually detrimental to our departure! So we decided to get our money's worth and spend till the end which was Monday. Sunday was actually one of the better days! We just messed around the campfire most of the time and met even more people from Swaziland!
See how Splashy brings people together:)

The final night, Roxy and i decided that the saturated duvets, blankets and pillows weren't gonna work for us. So back in the bakkie we go. Roxy slept in the back seat, whilst myself and Troy slept in the front. I hardly got a wink of sleep that night. The handbrake wasn't cool at all! I mean, why put a hanbrake there??

The next morning approahed us with tears as we had to depart, The suns rays actually welcomed us back onto the roads(typical-sunny when you leave and rains when you stay).
The trip back was rather exciting actually. Having stopped at a petrol station and a Spar we managed to buy a feats of pies, macaroni and cheese, drinks and kick off for the roads again.
The journey back was rather eventful. Amongst the mud slides, the road blocks, the moonings from our friends in front of us, the cattle walking into the road, we managed to get home in one piece (surprisingly).

Man oh man.. as i waddled into the house, the first thing i did was approach the bath with a welcoming. The bath however was not enough and thus straight after, i became aquinted with the shower. Ok so this is the story, i should be gettin a lot of the photos from splashy a ittle later today and will be able to give you a much better idea of...
How frikkin fun Splashy was! Ok... counting down till the next one.....

A good enough reason...

2007-04-10T14:26:00.000-07:00

Hey all!

Ok so i know its been way too long since my previous post! But i'm upping my game.
Let me just begin by adding that varsity has been overboard hectic! The letters on my keyboard are even wearing away as we speak and are doing funny, innvolentary stuff, which may i add is not due to tto much blogging but merely due to the fact that i have so many frikkin assignments of which i should be doing right about..... now. But no.. i'm here blogging away.. boo haha!

May i just add that im so over varsity! I think i'm in pretty much in all my lecturers bad books at this moment in time. How i got there, who the hell knows, but it aint a good place to be!
Well, the last two weeks have been suicidal for me and iv had two 31/2 year old clients to test for hearing. Neither being cooperative whatsoever (oobviously) hence both sessions went downhill from there. The one child wouldnt even let me topouch his head cause he had like some sort of phobia for people touching his head or ears. So i passed the first session, provided my lecturer granted me the hairy eyeballs. The seconnd session, well i'm yet to see. It tends to be a momet of suicide as a self evaluation is expected of us after every session. i.e. provides us with the opportunity to feel overly depressed about life and adds a little kick in the ass when your already on the floor. Moving on...

Im on holiday at this moment in time. Ok so it's only for 10days but its sufficient to regain my sanity. Ok lets just take into considerationn the fact that i have like six assignments due the first two weeks back....aaargh!

so thats the reason i've been like a hermit crab these past say two weeks!

Other 'highlights' as such of last week included gracing 80s with my presence.
Man what an evening! Met a bunch of great guys who were more than happy to buy us drinks and just have a jol. The one guy was half italian, which was pretty cute, when he try to charm me with the language. So he thought this would score him a couple of browny points, which may i add he did, but when he mentioned he was keen and all, i was like hang on boy, here's my number, dwell on it. So lets just say there's nothing a couple coffees wont do. So we still keep in touch which is awesome and we'l defiately be seeing each other again soon...

Haha.. it all actually started when Roxy losed me to buy some smokes. I was approached by this kind smile, asking whether or not i was alone and if i wanted company. With arms wide open to any new person, i agreed for him to sit down next to me and get to know each other better.

anyway.. took that week easy, as i knew what was soon to be approaching the following weekend... splashy!

Durban's night life on the move

2007-03-26T14:37:00.000-07:00

Having overcome the anxieties built within every inch of my breathing, living cell as to whether or not Friday evening was going to spent in a miserable state at work or whether it were to be spent with my ghd-perfectly-straightened hair, flapping in the wind, on the top of the Ricksha bus, the verdict was- the Ricksha bus.

Fortunately one of the previous managers so kindly accepted the request and worked for me on Friday evening, thus enabling me to experience the 'scenic views' of our deserted Durban streets, viewed from above, experience the intensities of the crowd's excitment and anticipation of Waxy's and Frankie's as well as take the opportunity to chuckle at Kevin's delightful drunken state (and many others of course).

To add to the amusement of the roaring anthems, the swinging-pole moves, the observing spectators (of whom were scratching in the bins at the time) and the inadequate bus, of which could not make it up hill, it is needless to say that we all managed to have an awesome time.
Considering the crowd was of unfamiliarity in the beginning stages of the evening, this was soon solved by the end of the evening via a numerous amount of drinks. I however was not in the position to drink, as i had to be the one to drive home, and my brother was in no state to hit the wheel.

The bus, arrived back at Joes Kools, which was greeted by a number of overly-intoxicated people staggering up the stairs. The rest of the evening spent at joe's was really great and so the evening was concluded with more drinks and more photos. My brother and i departed the rather distraught and destructed beaches of Durban at approximately 1:00am (not too bad, but it felt like it was 3:00am).

Saterday morning approached too quickly , as i again made my way to the Pavillion, buying a number of accessories, including a new watch.
Having arrived back at my house, early afternoon, it was time for me to get ready for the rugby (sharks vs. brumbies @ ABSA stadium)

Sitting two rows from the field, Carla, her friend-Jodi and myself were ready for the game, tickets in hand. To my surprise, that potentially-hot-friend of mine was sitting on the field throughout the game, with one of those yellow bib things on. Having smsed him and asking whetehr or not it was him, he responded saying that he was sitting on the field. We then met up at the end of the game and chatted for a while. All's cool between us.. Thank goodness*

Anyway, despite the dissapointing thrashing of the Brumbies, i had intentions to learn for this test (monday) this weekend, however nothing has been done about it and there are like 10chapters to learn. So a let evening was not even an option:(

The evening was then concluded having dinner at my aunts house after the rugby at 8:30pm, of where i met my parents. So after all that, the evening presented as being a late one.
Sunday was merely spent slaving away at the books for my test, half of which wasn't even present in the test may i add:/

Well.. that's it to my weekend. My predictions for the weekend were pretty accurate hey?
Anyway.. i'm buggard and off to bed now!

Mwah*

What a dilemma..

2007-03-23T01:13:00.000-07:00

Well... this absolutely sucks...
Looks like my chances of geting off tonight are slim.
But i'm pushing on...

At the moment i'm sitting in front of the computer and waiting to leave for my 11:25am lecture.
I always tend to rock up late for this lecture though.

Anyway, i have nothing else to say except HAPPY BIRTHDAY to li'l Kev who has now turned 24. (was i suppose to keep that part discrete?) and hey hey to Carla of whom i'm spending saterday evening screaming and shouting in the ABSA rugby stands with.
Hope it's still on hun! I still reckon we hit Joes or 80's or summin afterwards but that's your call!

Now i'm trying to get hold of this other chick that will apparently consider working for me, but her phones with some other dude, of which only sees her this afternoon... aaargh... the frustration!

Anyway.. wil chat later and keep you updated! I'm gonna go make some coffee to calm my nerves.....or not:)

Mwah*

I thought i was special (tear)

2007-03-22T12:53:00.000-07:00

What a bummer.. I thought i was special....

I've come to the conclusion that my attempted originality of posting Durban's pictures was not as sucessful as expected. Looking at a number of blogs and emails, it appears to me that i'm a little, let's just say behind with my posts. By the time the thought processing actually begins in my head about posting a gallery of natures effect on Durban, somebody has already kindly posted them for me on their sights. Well.. at least i can say i tried hey:)

Moving on.. i haven't kept many of you updated with my life at the moment?\
What can i say... life has been really hectic with varsity and all that my 'time out' is actually none existant at the moment and my 'fun evenings' are not even in my vocab at this moment in time.

I will however be heading to Kev's birthday celebration tomorow evening on the Ricksha bus around Durbs. It's a combined birthday held by three of them. Saterday il be venturing to the Sharks vs. Brumbies game, held at the ABSA stadium once again, where i will be screaming like a nut. Saterday day, i'm assuming will be spent at the Pavillion, scratching the pennies once again (what there is left of my burnt wallet). Sunday i'm going to make an attempt to crawl outta bed and waddle to church in the morning. If that doesn't succeed, i'l try the evening, as i always tend to enjoy the evening services.

Well... that's if all goes according to plan. Remember work? Well, they've been a little, let's just say 'leniant' and are allowing me to take off work in order to attend Splashy. (Can you believe i'm only the frikkin hostess and i actually need permission) Now the problem arises where a replacement is required for tomorow evening as i want to attend Kev's birthday, but due to not having another hostess (present in Durban this time), i may not be able to get off after all.. Hold thumbs for me and wish me luck- Luck for:

1. Getting a replacement or

2. Not getting fired for not finding a replacement and simply not showing up at work.

Will keep you updated but for now.. i know i have stax of work to get through and there's no way i'm doing any of it this weekend! Actually.. that reminds me about an Aural rehab test i have this weekend...aaargh... Ok.. Sunday night, late night cramming here we come. I tend to do better under these conditions funny enough. No one-week-in-advance story for me..Never works. Two weeks of slaving away at the books until Splashy and Easter break!

Two friends of mine (yes i tend to have more than the usual rent-a-crowd), are down from England. Man we use to have such jols together. Not only did they work with me when i was still a waitor, but we familiarised ourselves more with the Durban night life. We killed Tiger! Actually... we slaughtered it because we were there so much! Man does that place hold so many memories!

I still remember one fine evening, a couple of the guys a little to the extremes of intoxication and the girls headed down to North beach pier. Simple. Guys strip, guys jump, guys frolik in the waves and gasp for air as they try to maintain sanity. Guys get out of the water. One appearing to be a little more intoxicated than the other just struts but naked back onto the pier. Girls start blushing and threatening to chuck the clothes in the water. Overly intoxicated makes a second attempt and leaps again, being carried back to shore. The other became a little more sober as he hit the water, only then realising where he is and what he had just done. By this stage, he was in a little state of panic but managed to remain discreet as he merely laughed the situation off, as he gasped and choked for air. Ok so he made it back to shore, but i don't know how much money one will be willing to pay before he does that again:)

Anyway... this is it from me for now.
It's not very long or interseting, but hey.. it kept you going didn't it?
Will keep you updated soon soon! If i haven't replied, it's only because i didn't go to work and ended up going to the birthday most probably. But if i reply.... it's probably because i can't get to sleep after the birthday:) (NO WAY am i workin:)

See ya...
Mwah*

More on Monday morning...

2007-03-21T14:15:00.000-07:00

anyway... This is what Balito looked like Monday

Spoke too soon...

2007-03-19T11:19:00.000-07:00

ok.. just when i thought all the excitement was over, check out what hit Durbs today!!

anyone for Wimpy?

Man.. remember those days we use to go for an early coffee at wimpy after a good surf?

Actually, just kinda use to lie on my board:)...but hey... i still had coffee at Wimpy!!

well.. this is actually incredible for Durbs..

What's next?

Hurricanes hit Durban

2007-03-18T14:42:00.000-07:00

Ok.. apart from having an absolutely amazing winning at the durban ABSA stadium, sharks vs. the Hurricanes game on Saterday, it was amazing to see what else has been happening in and across Durbs lately...

Check this out...

These are pictures of central Durban.. how amazing!

anyway.. this particular storm occured on Thursday evening roughly 10:00pm, as i was driving through the Waterfall sugarcane.

There were a number of reported power failures including Waterfall, Kloof and parts of Hillcrest. Driving thorugh Waterfall sugarcane wasn't a thrill at the time, considering there was no sign of any lights whatsoever! Not even candlelight! Apparently it had just occured. I arrived home and was rather apprehensive to walk from my garage to my front door as knowing my luck, the gale force wind, lightening and gushing rain would leave me stumbling around in the garden, drenched from head to toe, with have a number of electric bolts running through every system of my body at the same time.

So after some contemplation,i came to the conclusion of 'What the hell..' and i just galloped and leaped across every bush flung in my pathway. Murphy's law..(whoever the hell Murphy is?) we had put a gate and fence up beween the front door and the driveway in order to keep the dogs back. To unlatch this thing was beyond me. Managing to run into the front door.. yes thats it... INTO the front door.. i managed to regain my thoughts, open the door, only to find everybody scratching for candles.

anyway.. the next morning, the area was in a state and there were more trees uprooted than rooted. And that's my little say about my experience.

will add in a little more on my weekend tomorrow, as i am so far behind with my blog...
DEAL WITH IT!
Sweet dreams*

Splashy....it's happpening!!

2007-03-16T16:09:00.000-07:00

G'day my brothers and sisters! Before i begin my late evening blog, may i just add that life has been a little on the busy side, so much that i feel as though my head's been catapulted, whilst my body is left behind... Not a good feeling!

Well my friends and family, looks like Splashy is happening for me and i think that's where im gonna be spending my days of the Easter holiday, from the 5th to the 9th April. What swayed me in the direction further, was that i actuallly, for once in my entire manage to get off these days without any fighting and tears. (Not that there were any tears:)

Well, at the moment, work is rashing me because our other hostess (Roxy) is in Jo burg and because they got nothing better to do than to pick on the hostesss. Meantime, all she gets paid for is too stand and smile at people:) - referring to myself of course!

May i just add that i have SO much holiday work that i actually don't know where to begin or even think about it!

Anyway, nothing much has been happening my side of the world. I attended a 21st tonight- couple friends from school . Was a bit apprenhensive to go as you tend to dress to impress with your old friends. I've kinda got over that stage and i think they all have but it was an issue at school.Anyway, our group consisted of about 12 girls annd obviously included the boyfriends. Don't you find it amusing how everybody is 'friends' meantime they've hardly spoken to each other? Well, in this particular example, where ther is a large group, you may only be a friend, because you have your connections in the group, but the others are just there to be seen as your 'friends'. Understand?

Anyway, tonight surprised me a little as i was originally apprehensive to go, expecting everyone dressed to impress and slapping onn their fae smiles, tey once presented in high school.

Man.. the evening turned out to be so pleasant and it's amazing to idenntify how everybody has changed and matured through life! They really are a stunning group of girls and i really do miss them!

Anyway, having to work, i ricked up at the braai at about 10:00 and acknowedged everybody at the braai and caught up on a lot of news. A lot of them had come from Maritzberg for the weekend to spend it with the twins (birthday), which was really awesome to see!
and obviously a lot of them bought their boyfriends as well. It was a braai, chilled and layback 21st which was amazing, considering everyonne was tired and exhausted from their 'Maritzberg hangovers:)'

Considering i had come striaght from work, i was ready to leave the braai, which was roughly 12:00 and headed on home.

I'm really keen to go to rugby tomorrow but lacking a bit in the pennies! How much does that suck!

chat tomorow though!
mwah*

Up for a cocktail???

2007-03-13T14:33:00.000-07:00

Whatsup guys..

This is gonna be a short post- sorry.. Sat here writing a HUGE post on summinn good and meaty and then... my computer shut off:(
The frustration! Ok... ya soo many of you have warned me but what is it they say about learning from your own mistakes:)
Don't worry guys, il catch up that post tomorrow!

The week has been one huge spin and as much as they tell me i shouldn't, i'm wishing the days away and praying for weekends to approach:)

Today was hectic but all was topped off well with a couple friends from school and myself heading to Frankies- Hillcrest. (we heard it was ladies night on a tuesday and everything was half price, with a free cocktail?)
Well.... ya...we looked like idiots as there wasn't any ladies evening and we moved on to BanKok Wok-Hillcrest. The evening was spent with five of us - Steph, Lindi, Bodene, Gill and myself haaving dinner and cocktails. My friend Bodene made quite a fuss as she 'could not' eat chinese food or Japanese food whatsoever ( considering we were at a Thai restaurant?)
So she kinda sulked and mooaned that we weren't spending the evening at Frankies, however overcame her morbid, attitudes as she realised noone of us really cared:)
She requested if she was able to order from Frankies and eat in the restaurant (some are fussy with this idea). The waitor was all cool about it and even served it on a plate for her and presented the bill to her as if it were his own order.
So he got like an overboard tip from us but Bodene really made us chuckle throughout the whole evening:)

Anyway,bankok wok's ladies evening was half price on any mainn meal and hlf price cocktails.
I ordered a Beach Garden Salad, which was spinach (appeeared like crisps and was crunchy), grilled calamari, one or two 'prawns' aand a little bit of veg. it was actually awesome. i wasn't so hungry sso it was a nice light, yet substantial salad. I then had a Cosmopolitan which was also amazing.

bodene wanted to go across to Frankies for a longer evenig, however the rest of us decided to keep it early, considering we had come straight from varsity and we were poked!!
So we kind of swayed her otherwise! Besides, Frankies was actually pretty quite.

Well.. gotta sleep now!
Mwah* Chat in tomorrows blog!

You're an FHM model???

2007-03-11T13:51:00.000-07:00

Ok, ok so i been slacking off lately, but with good reasoning! Let me just say i been real...busy...

Before i beginn my weekend's itinerary, may i just warn you that my eyelids are hanging at my knees at the moment from tiredness and therefore this may have an effect on both my spelling and grammar.

Anyway, my weekend all began, meeting carla for an afternoon coffee, before getting ready to go to work. To cut a long story short, work was so so busy and the que only managed to die down at about 9:00pm. The reason why i told you that 'useless' piece of information is merely based on the fact that i had every intention of clocking out early and gracing Casablanca with my presence. Previously, before work, my evening 'plot' waas to escape work at about 8:30, giving me sufficient time to fly home aand make myself loook a little bit more approachable. The plan failed. Not the 'make-myself-look-a-little-bit-more-approachable-part' (hehe), but the plnn of getting out aat 8:30. Aaargh.. the people just kept on flocking through the doors! Aaargh..
tick tock...tick tock... As the second hand passes, so does the number of people. And of course, being the hostess, i get paid to be polite and smile at everyone (meantime, inside, i was cursing every onne of them- only kidding- i'm not that mean:)

Well, plans were made and rearranged in every possible way. Instead of having to drive down with my brother, it ended up being just girls-awesome.
Aaargh... eventually, we only ennded up arriving there at about 10:30pm (i think)
Anyway, casablanca was having a Millers party so it was pretty busy and the crowd there was awesome. Having not been at Casablanca for a while, it was a really cool evening, with majority of the crowd coming from Tiger! That's what made it so cool... ah... the goood old days of Tiger!

Anyway, having gone to the bathroom, this girl approached me and started chatting to me, providing me with tips on how to do hair etc.

"Darling, i'm an FHM model annd i work for FHM!"

I scann her up and down subtly....hesitate.... (Ok whatever) and reply..."is it?"
Anyway, she's trying to give me tips and talking about absolute rubbish!
How did i know she was lying? Well, her friend approaches both of us and says,
"My friend here works for Cosmopolitan!" So i just smile and say..."oh cool":)

Well, the music ws awesome so i decide to go listen to the beats and swing my hips to the rythem (kiddin). I was greeted by a lot of familiar faces annd generally the crowd was awesome! I even ran into one oof the guys i worked with at the A1 grand prix. What makes it so funny is that this guy absolutley adores himself and he can just sweep girls off their feet (and he knows it). I however have prior knoweldge about this fellowed boy because of my friend Teri. She tends to tell me his pick-up lines and his scheme of action. It's so amuzing watching him pick up a girl. Look, he's not that bad, but he aint anything amazing. He's actually a hillarious guy to be around! The evening in general was loads of fun and considering i haven't been there foor a while, i'll definately go back again soon.

Anyway.. moving on in the weekend, i woke up for an early visit at the pavilion( again)!
This time i hadn't walked away with any clothes or anything, except for a birthday present. This kind of shows a clear indication of how well i manage my money throughout the month!
Anyway, i ended up going to a birthday braai at abou two where i kind of met up with a lot of people i haadn'y seen in ages.

The evening, was spent mellow and the WHOLE of Sunday consisted of me working on an assignment for varsity which was so annoying!
So i'm off to bed, otherwise i'll never make it through tomoro!
Will keep you updated!

Going local...

2007-03-08T13:27:00.000-08:00

Varsity turned out to be a taste like heaven yesterday as the hours were short and i managed to leave at like 12:15. Anyway, the first priority was to get my sound put into the car, so this onnly took about half an hour or so as, it was only the speakers that had to put in. I must say, Car Audio in Pinetown was so welcoming and helpful. I was seated with a cup of coffee and a magazine, giving me an opportunity to breath and unwind from two tripple lectures.
The car was finished before i had even finished my coffee.
After having stopped off at Tiffany's in kloof and purchasing a top and a bag, i mad my way home.

The evening was enjoyed with a few friends at Frankie Bananas in Hillcrest. Wednesday nights appears to be the pumping night and the evening by which one is able to identify every second person walking past. Overall the place was great, the vibe was awesome and the crowd was amazing.

We eventually ended up moving across to Scaramouch to see how the evening was kicking off there. I wasn't fanatical with the d.J or the music he was playing and eventually i was ready to call it an evening. We left the joint at about 12:30 so it wasn't too much of a late evening.

waking up this morning as a little more than challenging as i was running late for varsity. I only had like half an hour to get ready. (ya so i guess for males it's sufficient but females- a little challenging) Anyway, We had to do testing on a child with cerebral palsy today which was the greatest challenge of all, but such an eyeopener.

After having crashed on my bed after arriving back froom varsity, i crashed on my bed. I set my alarm as i had intentions of waking up, and giving me sufficient time to get ready. Again, i must've switched it off or something as i was running late for work. Againn i only had like half an hour to get ready.

Anyway.. sorry this is a little bit of a bore and the content is noot very intriguiging but at the moment my mind is not co operating due to lack of sleep.
I will post abetter blog soon tho.
Tomorrow i should be going to casablanca which is to be really cool!

Chat soon*

On the road again...

2007-03-06T14:16:00.000-08:00

Another day and time just feels like it's flying way over my head sometimes!
It's funny though how the weekdays usually drag on, yet the weekends become oblivious to us.

Well, im writing this as the clock ticks further and further, to time wasted where i should be in bed now, preparing myself for another fully loaded day at varsity. Instead i resort to my burning desires of having to write in my blog for the evening, so bare with me if this post may appear to be full of grammar or spelling errors. (kev i suggest you avoid reading just this post as this may result in the following side affects such as frustration or innapropriate behaviour or language on your behalf:)

Moving on.. I think i've finally come to the conclusion that because Splashy has always been pushed aside at the back of my mind for the last how many years, it's time for me to bring that mouldy and dusty idea right out of the cupboard again and actually contemplate goin. So this is it.. i think i'm going. I was suppose to do promotions there but i've thought otherwise.

Today consisted of a rather different day. Our prac was to visit the Fulton School for the Deaf in Hillcrest, for one of our lectures. It was a real eye opener for me but i'm not going to go much further into that as i've had to have written reports etc. and i don't see any reason as to why i would regurgitate this information and experiences back to you, unless you would request for me to. But overall.. it's amazing to see how this school differs fropm any other school in the way they communicate etc.

Having arrived back at the Westville campus it was time for me to depart to our speech clinic at the William clarke's children''s home. By the end of the session, i was buggard for the day!
Now i sit here writing reports until it comes out of my ears. But never fear as tomorrow looks like a more promising day and i think we'll be finishing varsity at 12:30

Fpor now i have to say fairwell and i'l chat again tomorrow. Sorry for the short post but il make it up to you guys!
Mwah*

You're Jonothan, right???

2007-03-05T10:40:00.000-08:00

ok.. so my cut off for the weekennd posts was Friday evening at the very well known local jol Scaramouch... boo ha ha... what an enjoyable evening!

Moving on... Saterday has now become a ritual with my mother and myself, it appears. Pavillion has become the new destination. However instead of being the usual casual shopper whereby one would merely slip in and out of the shops, we tend to differ. Having arrived at 9:30 and only leaving at 3:45, we must've become recognizable to many of the shop owners and shoppers flooding through the doors like vultures on a feeding ground.
After the hustle and bustle of the crowds and having everybody eye the top in your hand, thinking it would look better on them, i managed to slip away with two tops, a dress and a ring.
This choice of clothing was to my surprise, as many of you may know that i hardly wear any dresses, however having tried it on, i managed to fall in love at first sight.

Anyway.. after arriving home from the Pavillion, it was time for me to get ready for a 21st.
Keeping in mind i had no idea who this guy was, i tried to dress appropriately and not look like a prostitute being dragged out of a bush backwards. Not that i ever do. I hope.
Roxy made a request that i join her for the 21st as she only knew Jonothan (the guy that turned 21). So of course i approved of her suggestion and made an appearance. It turned out to be a really amazing evening and i managed to meet a really awesome crowd of people.
After having hugged and kissed everyone goodbye, we hopped into the car and headed for Lazy Lizzard- Hillcrest.

We arrived at Lazy's after twelve and again, the crowd was most appealing. The atmosphere was awesome and the music pumping upstairs attracted us. The music mainly consisted of trance, which was different to my general taste in music, however i managed to adapt to the variations and have a good time. It was awesome to greet a number of regulars annd d.j's at Lazy's and made the evening overall fun.
We eventually ended up leaving at roughly 2:00am and man, were we overboard tired!

After having trying to direct my way to the door (due too lack of light) i managed to crash on my bed and fall in a state of deep sleep.

Sunday was a generally lazy day which was awesome as i havenn't had any of these Sunday's since i started varsity.
Today was another Monday i wasn't ready to tackle, due to my lack of sleep or motivation.
The hours were long and the lectures were too mentally stimulating for my own good.
I think i've only worn my hearing aid once and it's suppose to be handed back on Wednesday. By then, we're suppose to have a general view of what it's like to be in the shoes of a deaf person.
Im gonna have to wear it a hell of a lot these nex two days!
Anyway.. i managed to go to spinning tonight and round off the session with a bit of the circuit.

Anyway.. i'm in deep contemplation as to whether or not Splashy will be the next destination for my April holidays? To be honest with you, i was so keen but i've lost a little bit of interest and motivation. Maybe i'm a little too comfortable with my clean shower and hairstraightner:)
I dunno guys... what do you think? Should i go or shouldn't i?
Gimme some input please!

For now i'm gonna run before i fall asleep before i even start varsity work:(
Hope to hear from you guys!

Mwah*

A kiss or two...

2007-03-02T15:44:00.000-08:00

Hey whatsup!

Ok so today proceeded with me rolling out of bed, and cleaning up after the puppy. Man what it is to be a mother:) It certainly felt like it...

Moving on. The first lecture took place at 11:25. As always, we appeared to be alittle late for lecture. They honestly cannot expect us to be there at sparrows fart!
the lecture proceeded with a video, of which became my invitation to take a quick nap. Or at least i tried! It was terrible having to keep my eyes open, once the lights were dimmed.
Ever sat through one of those REALLY REALLY boring church sermons before where your eyelids are hanging at your knees? (No disrespect, but i'm sure many of you may jhave experienced this)

Escaping varsity and fleeing passed the security gates became a pathway to heaven!
Before i knew it, it was time for me to head for work. After having fetched the dogs from chasing the poor postman, i climbed into the car and rocked up at work. Work was an overall bore but what the hell...

Scaramouch was next. Roxy and i headed off there at about 10:00, where we first indulged in a Savannah with a slice of lemon. After scanning the place and slapping on the makeup, the beats of the music were calling us to dance.
Throwing our hands up in the air and singing to the words of the song (and watching those who mimed the words they don't really know) made the evening fly by.
We met up with an old friend and his brother. The whole evening consisted of us dancing and leaping across the dance floor with them and being thrown to the other side of the dance floor, making us look like pros:) We were really cool... Only kidding:)
Anyway, it just so happened that i ended up dancing with our friend and Roxy with the brother.
It was all outta innocence, as we've known each other for a while. Well, that's what i thought.
At least i know i've kinda stuck to my word in the previous posts.

This friend tried to kiss me three times. What happened? Well ya.. i wasn't really up for it hey...
Not cause i wasn't really keen for him anything but as i mentioned in previous posts, i won't just kiss someone spontaneously in that sort of environment. Ok so obviously i'm gonna have my exceptions, but it just wasn't goonna happen tonight. He was cool about it though as i think he eventually realised and after that it was jcool to just dance and jol together.. Anyway, he walked me to my car and said our fairwells. But, i'm really not keen hey. He's just a friend and i think knowing him as just that makes it kinda weird.

That's my news for today my friends! Im really really really hoping to go to the rugby tomorrow Sharks vs Crusaders. I doo have a 21st after that though so i'll let you know what my plans are and how everything went!

Take care friendly bloggers*

I'm Deaf.....It's contagious!!

2007-03-01T13:58:00.000-08:00

Whatsup ya'll!

Sorry, i been kinda slack with regards to blog updates but at the moment, this is the last thing on my mind.
Varsity's been so hectic with work and prac, however i'm starting to really enjoy the coarse. I know you should have started deciding whether or not the course is for you in like the first year, but let's just that i'm a little delayed:)Ido however still get my days, where i'm sitting on a fence and things would seem so much easier if i had to just pull out.

Moving on, i ended up at a children's school for the deaf. The school is positioned the other side of Bothas hill. Usually the varsity would provide lifts because we never know where half the places were. I do however think i will resort to taking my own car considering i had to drive to Westville, back, through Botha's Hill, back too Westville again and then baack to Kloof.
Wow, i'm not even going to explain to you how different it is being in the actual environment.
As much as i'd love to tell you what i did on the visit, it's a little complicated and boring if i had to even make an attempt! Anyway, a lot of it was interacting with the children and seeing how the classroom settings differed from that in other schools. These are children who are postlingually deaf (they only acquired language after they had access to hearing -such as a hearing aid). It is therefore difficult to communucate with them unless you had a fair knowledge of sign language. This module is only taken after the June holidays though. Well, i know the sign language alphabet so i managed to communicate a little with that and i appeared to get the messages through. on that note, it's amazing how well mannered tey were in comparison to children presenting with normal hearing. Everyone you walked past would smile and greet (either gestures or orally).

It facinates me to see how people respond or react to those who are either deaf or have a hearing problem. The hearing aid is suppose to aid one's hearing! Many people think that when an individual is wearing a hearing aid, they now cannot hear or the popular belief that they are cognitively impaired- which they are not (obviously there are exceptions). Well it's going to be interesting to see how the people of Kloof are going to respond, seeing me wear a hearing aid. many of my colleages have informed me that they cannot believe the reactionsthey get from others. The one girl took er hearing aid to the a1-Grand Prix and apparently she heard the girl say "She's lucky, she's deaf"
Another one was spoken to as if she was cognitively impaired. Will let you know of any remarks i get, if any:)

Anyway, yesterday i was assigned a hearing aid, of which i have to wear for a full week.
This provides us with a little exposure to the experiences of being deaf or 'hard of hearing'.
Man, it's so annoying! Something as small as the clanging of cutlery makes you want to whip the aid out of your ear!

Anyway.. swifting the topic a little. About eight loud bangs were what woke us up at 3:10am last night (Wednesday).
Eventually the whole neighborhood became an audience of these loud sounds!
Turns out, one of the neighbors from across the road was broken into and the owners actually caught the guy. Within 10minutes, the sirens were blazing through the streets.
I don't know the whole story but you craap yourself at the time. it almost sounded as if three consecutive shots went off, with a couple minutes wait and so went off again. So we picked up the phone, leaving lights off, dialing the cops to report the problem.
So apparently the male intruder failed at his attempts and was shot numerous times!

Which leads to....us getting a new puppy:)
My dad walks into the house, with a six week old Rotweiler puppy (excuse spelling)
So it looks like there's gonna be a lot more on my hands now!

Anyway... sorry this wasn't much of a constructive blog, but i'l definatley keep you updated!
For now im gonna run as i'm BUGGARD!

Cheers*

We really are just good friends after all:)

2007-02-27T11:41:00.000-08:00

Greetings my fair bloggers!

Time has passed me by and i feel as though i've been hit by a bus and reversed over numerous times! But i'm loving life and managing to keep my upper lids from closing, before i dwell into an unconscious state of sleep!

I'm going o firstly elaborate a little bit further on my weekend.
As i mentioned in my previous post, we graced the drivers of the A1 grand Prix with our presence and support, sold burgers until we were dripping with the very sweat secreted by the glands of our skin and answered questions on camera until our cheeks were burning with shame! Man i think we brought Spur's name down:)

The evenings concluded the day with a dinner at Butcher's Block on Saterday night and sundowners on the deck of Joe kools on Sunday evening.
After escaping and dodging the Durban traffic at approximately 6:00pm we headed back to Roxy's house.
I then rounded off the evening with a dinner at Butcher's Block with the presence of my extended family. I approach the doors of Butcher's Block with slops, a skirt, sunglasses and all-not elegant at all! To my amusement, many of the family members commented on my basted tan. I however believe otherwise and question whether or not the glow of my skin was really a tan or merely a mask of dirt, from the races. A good day's appetite was well sufficed by a tender chicken breast smothered in a Cambembert and bacon sauce, complemented by a side dish of veg. The dinner was flushed down with my new favourite- Savannah Lite with a slice of lemon.
Lazy Lizzard was to be our next destination after the dinner (Roxy had attended a 21st and plans were to meet at Lazy's afterwards)
Slight alterations to the plan- we headed on home instead as our bodies were not coping with our mental capacity at this time of the evening!

Sunday evening, as mentioned before was spent on the deck of Joe Kools with a Cosmopolitan in one hand as the waves crashed against the piers of Durbans beach front.
The evening was beautiful and the air was fresh.
Two friends met up with Roxy and myself at Joe Kools- Anton and his friend Bryan.
The evening was spent just chilling at Joe's and ended off with a couple of dances on the dance floor of Joe kools. The crowd was good and the vibe was awesome!
Thank goodness Joe's is casual on a Sunday evening as i couldn't bear to wear heels after the long hours of standing!

We didn't end up leaving too late, knowing we had been up since like 6:00 and hadn't been home since. Varsity ended up being a little more than interesting on Monday morning, with the amounts of vitamins and tonics i swigged down.

So you thinking.... What's news right? Been waiting all this time to find out what this blog is all about? Here we go:

Remember my 'potentially-hot-friend' ? Well, we kinda ended up chatting about everything.
It had been a while since we had heard from each other via sms or whatever it may be.
We discussed where we sorta stand with each other and the conclsion is that we both decided we're gonna just be really good friends. i'm really stoked about this, as i never intended for anything more whatsoever. Ok ya, so i had a little bit of doubts and questions where our friendship was going etc but it's cool it's all cleared up now.

What makes the situation amusing though is that HE thought i had intentions for something more. That's how it came up. So obviously i'm like 'hang on buddy'. (I didn't say that but it was going through my head).
I nearly drove off the road when he replied to my first sms telling me how he's not up for a relationship at the moment but he thinks i'm an amazin and beautiful girl.
I'm like, who said anything about a relationship? Anyway.. we were both very honest witheach other and i told him i'm really not up for a relationship and that i'm happy we both feel the same way. I also apologized for making him think i had other intentions than just being a friend:) Haha.. so now we just really good friends (as we always were though). He's such a player though:) You don't even want to read some of the smses we send to each other:)
Well, we still do that and we still comfortable with each other, but now we know that it's othing more than friends:)
Typical rugby player.... goes straight to the head... or shall i say.... typical MALE:)
Remember i kept on writing in my previous posts of how i was concerned he may get the wrong impression?!?
Anyway, we probably gonna do coffee soon, which will be better than the usual 'club' environment, where we can't hear four words from each other.

My ex? Well, he still keeps initiating the smses and out of courtesy i respond, cause i'm not playing any games or anything and at least he still puts in the effort hey.
At the moment i'm enjoying life and love being single!

Anyway, today was a long day of varsity, as i had speech clinic- my 5year old client. He's really adorable! Finishing at five, i was told to get ready as dinner was going to be at John Dory's tonight. I wasn't really hungry and i'm on a whole new fitness plan. This therefore encouraged me to stick to a John House Salad-Awesome.

At the moment, my car is in for an overall service, which is often frustrating in times of need! To my surprise my dad bought me sound for my car which is to be installed tomorrow morning. I'm picking it up tomorrow after varsity.

Anyway.. think that's gonna be it for now. Spoken way too much!
May edit another post a little later if i have the time!
Otherwise fairwell my bloggers*
Mwah*

Blood, sweat and tears...

2007-02-26T12:20:00.000-08:00

The buzzing of the alarm clock, placed strategically next to my bed becomes my early morning headache, whilst my duvet suffocates me as i roll out of bed at 5:30am on Saterday morning.
The day was a scorcher and the sun sucked every water particle form my body as we departed my house.

Roxy and myself, after arring at the A1-Grand Prix, were escorted to the tents at which we had to proceed with our 'promotions'. So much for promoting! The two of us ended up behind the 'cash desk', consisting of one calculator and one Lacoste box for the float. All was good on Saterday and we managed pretty well. Sunday however hit us like a dog on heat!!
The tent was a mad house! Only having three grillers and three girls managing the cash, we were spinning! The crowds just kept on coming! Murphy's law, during the rush of it all, they had to close us down because our trading license had an error or something so minor as that.
Half the customers had to be redirected to 'Moodley's Breyani' because Spur was officially closed.

What made the weekend most enjoyable was engaging with the other spectators as well as a cameraman and his little sidekick. Roxy and i were soaking in the morning's sun on the grass, as we had a full view of the cars passing. We were then approached by these two Smurfs running around the grassy lawn, catching as much of a crowd as possible. We were initially asked by them if we were willing to be interviewed so obviously we agreed.
The Interview consisted of the following questions and anwswers:

Interviewer: So how are you feeling about today
Us: Oh it's an absolutely amazing day and we wouldn't want to be anywhere else right now..
yak yak yak...It's going to be really exciting...yak yak yak...

Interviewer: So you guys watch the Grand Prix often or support the Grand Prix?
Us: Aaaahh.... ya we really dig the whole atmosphere of it and checkin out the cars etc...yak yak

Interviewer: So which team do you support?
Us: (pause)...(look at each other)...(pause)...
Roxy: I don't know, Claire which team do you support:)
Claire..(pause)...(pause)
Roxy: The Porcsh!!!

.....How blind...... wait for it.......

Interviewer: Ok... and how do you think South Africa will do?
Us: (pause)...ummmmm.....(sweating)...
Roxy: Hopefully first, second or third!!!!

.....ya ok don't say anything!......

Don't know whether that one's going on t.v;)

Anyway... I think i'm gonna continue this post tomorow and let you in on a little more. I've only covered like 1/4 of my weekend so hang tight, sleep tight and see ya tomorrow.

Mwah*

A little bit of Scaramouch...

2007-02-22T13:52:00.000-08:00

Hey guys!

Just got back home from work now. Posted a blog a little earlier before work.
Work was ok. Little bit of a waste of time, but what the hell... i get paid for it:)
tonight was a little different though as my friend, Teri only has her learners but she's driving around everywhere with her car.

A little bit on the safe side, she wanted me to drive the car to the petrol station and fill up her car, as she feared she would take out the petrol pumps, the wall or any other surrounding car. At least somebody trusts my driving! So after arriving there, the 'quick' stop took a little longert than expected. She wanted me to pumpo up the right froint tyre, as it was looking really flat. Turns out it was a puncture.

Never fear though.. The spanner becomes useful at this time. Or does it? We flip up the boot and hook the spanner onto the bolts. Or at least attempt to. I hadn't known this but apparently you get these special 'locked-in' bolts to prevent one stealing your tyres?? Huh? Why?
Anyway... cause it was her brothers car, it took us some time to figure this out.
Luckily we had the 'key' to unlock these fancy bolts or however it works! (Sarcasm)- no we didn't have the key!! Moving along, eventually they organised that foam that you put in the tyres and i think that worked in the meantime?

Well... after work i went to Scaramouch. After ordering my new delight Savannah with a slice of lemon and a straw (i know you laugh, but i prefer drinking out of a straw. It doesn't look too appealing having a girl swig out of the bottle i think. Some can pull it off but others it's a no no)
Anyway, we ended up chatting to two guys, the one is currently my friends boyfriend (don't think anything- i respect my friends) and the other one being his friend. Now his friend, i've seen pretty much everywhere! Being it work, rugby, 80's, 54.. hes there. So he kinda gave me a friendly smile and greeting and by the end of the evening we were chatting away. Turns out, he's a really great guy and a rugby player... Aaarghh... think i should stay away from the rugby players for a while:) time goes so quickly though and before i knew it, it was time to head home(considering i have varsity tomorrow:()
Funny how i've seen him like evrywhere and now cause i've met him, he'l probably fall off the face of the earth!

Anyway.. thats just a little update for now! Gotta sleep now and my computer is gettin slower and slower as we speak!
Sweet dreams*

The beats of my heart...

2007-02-22T05:12:00.000-08:00

As i climb into the car and turn on the ignition, i slip my cd into the player and drift into another world...

Ever realised how many thoughts skip through your mind either on the way to or from work or varsity. Or for that fact, if you go anywhere? It's like you enter another world where everything becomes a little more than perfect. Your eyes start sketching the scenery as you gaze passed the glistening car windows, as the sun's warmth envelops your and the beams of sunshine glisten, as it reflects off the car's interior. Your cheeks are brushed with the scent of the fresh morning's breeze, as your arms reflect the golden colour of the sun's glow. You take a deep breath and inhale the freshly scent of a new day...

The dancing tunes and the crisp voices form a new melody inside my head. The meoldy takes me by the hand and guides me into a presence of peace and sanity...

As i mellow and sink into the voices of the lecturers and the spinning thoughts in my head, i recite the songs in my head, over and over again.
After every lecture, i'm able to take out my mp3 player and switch off-back into that mode that had welcomed me into a new day. As i scan the room, i begin to notice the people and the environment in which i sit. Everything is then seen in a different light. I then become oblivious to my environment and allow the words of every songs to sink into my heart, as the songs dance around in my head.

My life is seen as a movie before me. The words and stories of each song become so real to my life and i find myself matching my experiences to every song, like a puzzle.
Ocassionally, i'd find a song slipping beyond my thoughts and enter my heart, where it becomes so deeply moulded into my heart- a melody of my life.

As i get nudged on the arm, i slowly lift my head and hop off the cloud i found myself floating on. Lectures begin yet again...

As the day starts to wrap itself up, music becomes my best friend once again as i slip into the world of my own thoughts and the melodys they reveal. The trip home, almost seems much better.

Ever realise how much you think when you're in the car or when you're listening to music?
You may step into your car with the world on your shoulders, yet we tend to leave pieces of our problems along the way home.

My music then becomes my bednight kiss as i roll over and close my eyes. Once again, my eyes become weary and hypnotised with every song, as my heart beat slows down to nothing but a beat to the music*

Picking up the crumbs...

2007-02-21T04:03:00.000-08:00

Hey all!

It's stinking hot and slowly but surely i'm peeling the gel off my nails one by one, watching the French pieces flake before me. Isn't this suppose to be an indication of nerves or summin? Well, i don't think i am.

I got a lot on my mind though and sometimes i really despise the fact that girls carry too many emotions. More so than guys? Ok so that's a stereotypical statement to make. I know guys can be emotional too i guess. Even when it comes to relationships. Somehow they seem to handle it better though right? Girls tend to carry it over their heads for way too long!

Girls become exceptionally sentimental, particularly in a relationship. They want to keep the photos, the letters, and anything possible that will remind them of where they've been and who they've known. Take note the next time you enter a girls room again.
Girls collect the crumbs they leave behind as they walk along the path of life. Guys however leave them behind, knowing well that the crumbs are there for a reason and are meant to stay. Little do we know, what an effect these memories have on us later in life. We tend to look back at previous events or stages in our life and sometimes experience a feeling of contentment, so much that you may even want to go back. Or every so often, as we stumble across these memories, we cannot help but fight back the lump in our throats.
How do we overcome these feelings? Or do we? It's obviously innate in every person to come to some form of realisation, where they have been in comparison to where they are now.

Sometimes i wonder what it would be like to go back. Back to those memories we now cherish.
What would we have changed? How would we have changed the situation or altered it to how we feel today? As much as it sounds as though i'm wishing my life away, i'm not. I'm justtrying to think of how maybe things would have been today if i had made alternative decisions, met different people or reacted differently in a situation. Sometimes i think i've screwed up totally with various parts in my life. Things i should or shouldnt have said. Things i should or shouldn't have done. And people i should have kept closer to heart than those who were merely known as 'friends'.

Out of all honesty, yes there are some things i would have changed, but maybe not all of it. Like they say, if it doesn't kill you, it only makes you stronger right?

I can see it now. When situations and reasonings to life seemed so transparent and opaque back then and appeared distant before my eyes, has become more distinct and fine now. Only now do i realise what sort of story life tells and and what picture it paints. However, it only comes visible to me as a blur. As life carries on, the picture becomes more define.

Anyway, it's just a thought.
I stumbled across these lyrics from the band The Fray. Many of you may have only become familiar of them now. The lyrics are touching and often it reminds me of a friend of mine. As i say, sometimes i wish i could go back in time and alter the situation a bit.
Just enough to make things a little better than what they are today.

If you ever get the time, listen to the song.

How To Save A Life The Fray lyrics
Artist: The Fray
Album: How To Save A Life

Step one you say we need to talk
He walks you say sit down it's just a talk
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through

Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
And you begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best
Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along

And pray to God he hears you
And pray to God he hears you

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

As he begins to raise his voice
You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life
How to save a life How to save a life

Where did I go wrong, I lost a friend
Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Who am i???

2007-02-19T11:45:00.000-08:00

Ha ha... Thought this was perfect for my post:)

Just been doing some pondering over the weekend and considering i'm still highly drugged up on medication from being sick over the previous week, i spent the lectures of today half dozing off and having constant intervals of self analysis. I also mentioned in my previous post that i had a lot on my mind. I'm not going to share with you all my thoughts and concerns at the moment, as some of them have become really cumbersome for me to get my head around and i really am struggling to overcome these concerns. However, i do know that sooner or later......

I'l get over it:)

Well, having spent a fair amount of evenings out in Durban being it 80's, Joe's or 54, it has enabled me to draw some conclusions to a number of questions of mine.

Firstly, i have mentioned to you that i have no intentions whatsoever to go out just for the sake of 'being' with someone or hooking up. I think a lot of my friends thought of me otherwise.

It's not that i have anything against it or anything but i'm just not that type of girl i guess.

And i guess i've known it from the start. I just find that personally i couldn't hook up with someone i barely know. Then again, i shouldn't talk too soon, i did kind of hook up with my ex last new years and i didn't really know him then i guess....oops.

I don't know, maybe i speak too soon but i don't think i'm that sort of person?

I think i'm a one-guy at a time sort of girl. I'm sure by reading my posts and knowing me, a lot of you may realise this about me. When i like a guy, i really like a guy. On that note i'm REALLY fussy with guys. So lets just say i meet a guy. If there is some form of attraction, i'l be able to get over the guy pretty easily and move on. However, if i've liked a guy for a while and let's just say i really like him, it'll take me a while to get over it. But that's only in situations, where i know the guy is pretty keen as well. I'm not gonna sit and dwell on a guy if he doesn't like me. Straight forward, i'l move on. But things like ex's and 'possibles' are such a downfall for me hey. However i think i've grown a lot stronger since my previous break up and i think i can handle it better now. And i think i'm babbling and contradicting myself heavily in this paragraph so i'm just gonna move on...:) Basically what i'm trying to say is, i can't be with one guy the one night and another guy the other night. Get the point?

On that note... why is it that when somebody tends to go out a lot or head off for a good night in Durban, a lot of people classify them as being 'dodge' or 'gone off the rails'? What is that? I think it occurs a lot in the context of the church. I'm sure a lot of my friends see me as being 'dodge' now. Especially those i sat religiously in church with. Don't worry guys, i'm still the same person inside and out. Many people tend to generalize or stereotype when it comes to going out, drinking or whatever it may be. I'm sure a lot of you know what i mean and probably experienced the same judgements.

I just want to say that i still feel the same, i still have the same emotions and fears and i still share a one on one, day to day relationship with God. Just like anybody, i still have my concerns and possible doubts here and there but i'm still the same person you once knew or once met.

I'm sorry if i've made my relationship with God seem 'wish-washed', but i'm using it merely as an example in this blog, rather than the basis of this post. I think in time, i will post a new post on my spiritual basis with God and the possible questions which arise within myself.

Point is, don't judge me because of my choices in this particular area of my life. Please don't classify me as another servant of God gone 'dodge'. I still carry the same morals and beliefs and even though my decisons and motives may have changed here and there, i'm still me:)

So thanks to all those friends of mine that still see the same person they knew when we first met and all those who may have forgiven or excused any unjustifiable things i may have done to alter your views of me.

Anyway.. i'm sorry for all the babble. I think this medication is still in the bloodstream!

Thanks for hearing me out! I would alsolove to hear what you guys have to say!

I'm off to sleep now! Got another long day ahead of me tomorrow with speech clinic....

Sweet dreams*

So much to do, such little time...

2007-02-18T12:25:00.000-08:00

Okay, so you gotta give me a little bit of a break regarding my blog!
Weekends...expect a little delay:)

Well, it all began friday. Woke up a little later than the usual 6:00, took a morning shower and departed for a couple hours worth lectures. What was suppose to be from like 12:00 to 2:00 ended up being only an hour or so lecture which wasn't to my objection at all obviously.
Lauren and i decided to end the week off with a creamy cup of cuppacino provided by the very well known Kloof coffee shop, Sprigs. The aroma of their Bran muffins eventually swayed us into sharing one between the two of us. Anyway, i think i mentioned this in my previous blog? Not sure but we wont dwell on thaat for too long.

Friday evenings are usually spent at the doors of the good ol Spur restaurant, hostessing.
I really don't have a problem with this,considering my shifts span from roughly 5:00-9:00pm and i get to indulge in their savoury veg and fresh bar, complementing the meal off with a good cup of coffee. So if i ever intend going out afterwards, which is more than likely, time is not a problem. and my social life is not affected by the hours i have to work.

Saterday hit me faster than what i knew. I managed to roll out of bed and hit the Pavillion AGAIN for like the third or fourth weekend in a row. My mother and i decided to hit the shops again. We arrived there at like 9:00am and only left at like 2:00pm. It was however to the best of my advantage, as i managed to walk away with a new top, skirt, earings, underwear and makeup. We managed to fit in a quick lunch at Centre coart, consisting of tortilla wraps, filled with creamy spinach and mushrooms, accompanied by a salad and of coarse... cuppacino:)

By the time we arrived home, it was time to get ready for the rugby at ABSA stadium- Sharks vs. Highlanders. After noticing the rain on the way back, i came to the conclusion the hairstraightner was not even an option. All ready to go, we pump up the music and vibe ourselves up for the rugby. As always, the crowd was a vibe and considering we had season tickets, we were so close to the players, we could just about smell their sweat:) We were about four rows from the field. And Francois Steyn is really not as small as he looks on t.v. He's actually huge!!
After fulfilling the cravings for Dinky Donuts, we managed to settle down an hour before the game. the game started at 8:30pm. The surrounding crowd, as i said was really awesome! It shows you what a difference the crowd makes!

After a pretty intense game with the Sharks beating the highlanders, we decided to hover on the field a bit before getting ready for 80s. The sharks players ran right passed us and we were surrounded by sharks players- (faint)- kidding:)

Anyway.. we hit 80's and the evening was really eventfull. Time waved us goodbye as we only ended up arriving back home at roughly 3:30am. There was this one guy that was determined to get me to dance at the top, above the dancefloor. A lot of the more 'confident' sort of girls enjoy dancing up there.Sometimes you could get a nice crowd of friends up there and it'l be loads of fun but this crowd was a little less appealing, with two girls rubbing themsleves up against each other, obviously one presenting with just a bikini top and the other one balancing so far on the beam, that a little more was revealed than her little denim mini. So i was pretty persistant with this guy that the floor was the better option for me. Look at first i was like 'boo ha ha, no thanks' when he asked me to join him, then he kept on asking the whole night!
What made it a little less appealing was that he was really sweaty and he was persistant on wrapping both his arms around me until i was drippig and drenched in his sweat from head to toe. Sorry if it sounds like stuck up and all but i was like...um.... k... i'm just gonna go to the bathroom now.... I didn't wanna be mean.

I really can't tell you the whole evening of 80's as that would leave me here forever and i've had min sleep! So moving on, i crashed on my bed. Was woken up sparrow's fart again this morning to exchange a couple of clothes for my mother at Sanlam. I had to go early as we intended meeting my family for lunch, for my aaunts birthday. So there i was, weary-eyed and bushy-tailed. I could bearly function. Rolling into the car, my dad and i headed off to Sanlam, arriving back at 11:00 and got ready for the lunch at Lestrada (hillcrest). After writing all this, i realise we eat out a lot! Anyway lunch was good, service was a little below average and price was a little above quality. We sat there like the whole afternoon, only arriving back home at 4:00.

That's it. That was my weekend. Tomorrow if i get the time, i'm gonna elaborate a little further. Why? Well, a lot went thorugh my head this weekend and a lot of decisions were kind of made. It was a good weekend, but also a little bit of a bummer. Will try let you in on a little tomorrow k? At the moment, i don't think im gonna get up very easily for varsity tomo! It's also gonna be a long day....

Thanks guys for your patience!
Have a great day tomo!

Nice one!!!

My darling husband,

Before you return from your overseas trip, I want to let you know about alittle accident I had with your pick up truck.
Fortunately, it was not toobad and I didn't get hurt, so please don't worry too much about me. Infact, about 5 seconds after it was over, I felt much better and was back tomy happy, smiling self! I didn't see any reason to notify the police or ourinsurance agency.

I was coming home from K Mart, and when I turned into the driveway Iaccidentally pushed down on the accelerator instead of the brake! Thegarage door is slightly bent but your 4x4, fortunately, came to a halt whenit bumped into your car. Lucky for you, your motorcycle was spared.I am really sorry, darling. But with your kind-hearted, giving, lovingpersonality I'm positive you will forgive me.

Remember how much I love youand care for you, my sweetheart. Enclosed is a picture of my little"accident."
Have a safe trip home.
Oh yes, before I forget...
Your girlfriend called.
Your loving wife.
XoXoX

You're how old???

2007-02-16T00:38:00.000-08:00

Male or female, ever happened to you?
Meet a potential...start chatting...'you're how old?'

I find it's been happening a lot lately! The younger generation are starting to look much older!
It's happened on numerous occassions now! The guys nowadays are built to be rugby players, dressed to be models, yet turn out to be younger than expected!
Maybe it's the same with girls i guess. I heard a lot of the guys complaining about the same issue:
'She's still in school!!' ....Sound familiar Clint? Only kidding:)

Well, was working the other night and my friend Teri and i were dared to go introduce ourselves to this potentially good looking guy, which may i add, i think his style of dress played a larger part than the 'pretty face' that walked through the door. Well, shy as i may be at times, i gave in to Teri's constant nagging and pleading. So we approached the table and introduced ourselves.

Ok so i kinda just followed the flow of it all. Turns out this guy had a good sense of humour, was well mannered, played rugby (how did i guess:) and a generally good , fun guy to be with. After a good hour or so, we find out he was only 18! Say what?? You would never think so!

Moving on! Listening to 5fm at the moment and they advertising this rock concert happening in both Johannesberg and Cape Town. I find it such a bummer that they not bringing it to Durban! That brings me back to the time i went to the Coca Cola Colab Mix a year ago! Was so awesome!
Ross (ex) actually bought me a ticket as a surprise. I still remember it was on the public holiday. The whole day was spent at the ABSA stadium! The ques were ridiculous and as we managed to shuffle around and settle in our seats, the bands proceeded. Ross hadn't attended the concert with me, as he was in Jo berg, so i went with his friends.
The day was amazing, however i still remember receiving an sms about an assignment being due the next day. Problem was, i hadn't started yet! So the evening hadn't ended after Metallica hovering the stage at the ABSA stadium, but rather at 4:00 in the morning, as i signed the final page of my assignment. My marks weren't very promising may i add.

So this year, i may seither pend the day moping about the absence of the concert in Durban this year, or...just go to Joberg! That would be actually pretty cool! Gonna look into that one!

Well, i've just arrived back from varsity and i always experience such contentment on a Friday afternoon! It's the weekend! Went for coffee with Lauren at Sprigs.
One question: Why do we tip them again?
It's the first time i've been there but it's actually a place where you go up and place your orders. You may either fetch your own food or they will bring it to you. At the end. You go up to the front and pay. So what do you do again? I dunno, maybe some of you will understand the concept a bit more than myself. Otherwise the cuppacino and bran muffin was great.

These are my intentions and whereabouts so far:

Tonight: Work and probably summin after. It won't be too much of an eventfull evening though, as my overdose on medication has lead me to a state of morbidity and weakness! (still a little sick and on antibiotics- may i add it was much of a challenge staying awake through a triple lecture and havimng to drive home afterwards!)

Tomorrow: Hitting the Pavillion again with my mother- she tends to hold my dads credit card which is always a bonus, and my negotiating skills always serves as an advantage in times like these:)

Tomorrow night: Nowhere else but the Sharks vs Highlanders rugby match at Durban ABSA stadium! You better all be there! 80s after? Depends where our energy levels are at and the crowd, but may be a possibility. And Roxy's got season tickets- always a benefit!

Sunday: My aunts birthday. So we probably gonna end up at John Dory's for lunch. I'm HOPING as much as posssible to attend church in either the morning or evening!

Otherwise guys, i'll keep you updated as much as possible!
Hope this blog didn't bore you too much my friends*

A footprint on my heart...

2007-02-15T12:25:00.000-08:00

So i'm standing at the same welcoming doors of my work when he approaches me with bloodshot eyes and bushy hair. My heart could do nothing but bleed love for him.

About two months ago a well recommended waitor, became a companion of mine and a friend. His needs were just like any others and his love and care for others was expressed by his every action and deed. His smile would ignite the restaurant with warmth and happiness. His heart would embrace one and envelop them with a feeling of security. He was a friend to all. And he is surely missed.

It all began when he told me about his father's 'cognitive impairment'. The traditional yet offensive term is otherwise known as 'mental retardation'. This term has now become discreet to many as it carries a negative connotation and suggests inaccurate manifestations on the individual itself. 'Cognitive impairment' has now become the more accurate and more 'respectful' term in the health profession than 'mental retardation'.

Anyway, this friend told me he had to phone in the morning and book his father into mental institution, as his father was defficating (sorry about spelling) everywhere in the house. I don't know what the more polite way of putting it is, but to put it bluntly, he wouldn't walk to the toilet, but would simply do it where ever he walked in the house, whether it be his bed or the living room. There were other manifestations he described to me such as talking to himself or do things like roll out of the bed and lie there for hours.

To cut a long story short, two weeks later, after he had resigned from the same restaurant where i work. Both him and his mother found his dad on the bedroom floor, dead. Apparantly he had been lying there for two days.I don't know the exact story and i'm really not the one to post a story just for discussion but i have a point to this one.

Going into work the other day, a work colleage of mine tells me that this waitor, of whom's father had passed away, is now in the institution in Maritzberg. I brush a false story off very likely and tend to keep this information discreet. However tonight he approached the same doors again. Astonished to see him, of coarse i was. And i'm even ashamed to say that i was a little concerned at the time with what he may do next. As heartless as it sounds, one often becomes a little weary in these situations. . Of coarse i will take my precautions, but it made me realise otherwise.

As ashamed as i was to believe, i came to the conclusion that he's just like all of us.
He's still got the same heart as he had back then surely and he still needs some form of comfort and security from someone regardless, as we all do. He's on Prozac at the moment and apparently he's been released. What concerns me, is that everybody looks at him like he's a disease or an infection now. What was a loving, generous character before has now become a disease to society. He's infectious. Infectious enough that majority of the people he once called a friend, is heartless enough to walk away and pretend he never existed. The chuckles and whispers, enveloping his presence, i'm sure must be daunting for him.

We nod off to sleep in the evenings knowing everything is going to be ok at sunrise. That the friends we have today are an engraving on our hearts. They chisel their words into our hearts, as our families mould us into becoming a fine masterpiece.

But what if we lose everything we ever gained? What if these friends walk away from you in the span of a day or week? All it takes is a spread of word and that's it. You become another infectious disease.

Well, to me he's still the friendly, generous companion i once knew. He's got dreams and fears, just like everybody else. He's left a footprint on my heart today, and that's special to me*

To all the cupids out there...

2007-02-14T08:12:00.000-08:00

G'day my friendly bloggers*

Sorry it's been a while. Actually it hasn't been too long i guess?

Well, i knew it had to happen sooner or later! I'm sick!
Now i'm not usually the one to spring outta my bed and race to the doctor the moment i feel a little tingle in the throat or a little faint. I usually just carry it over my head. My varsity, however requested a doctors certificate, if any lectures should be missed.

So last night, in the state i was in and not being able to get outta bed this morning, a visited to the doctor was intended and a doctors certificate issued. It has been suggested i stay the rest of the week off but i know my lecturers will have a fit. Sick or not.. you have to be there.

So the start of the year has turned out to be, let's just say... a little stressful and much is expected of us. Now i know i might blab a little in this blog but i'm just gonna let you in on a little of what our coarse is about, as many of you are unfamiliar with what the coarse entails and what an audiologist does.

One of the modules, otherwise known as 'Rehabilitation Technology' has become of much interest to me. This is the exciting, yet excellence- demanding part of of being an audiologist.

Part of this module requires us understanding the differnt types of hearing aids and how they function, as well as any other forms of hearing devices. This requires us having to identfy the structure of a clients ear and fit a hearing mould accordingly. Now many of you may know that 'putty-like' paste the dentist uses to mould your teeth, jaw etc.It's like that. It's taking a mould of the client's internal ear structure. Why i say it demands excellence and skill is because we as audiology students are suppose to mould this 'putty' as close to the tympanic membrane (eardrum) as possible, without rupturing or damaging the eardrum. This year, we have to do it on each other. This enables us to understand what it's like being in the client's position.

Now, hearing aids you must understand cost an arm and a leg! Our varsit usually sell standard hearing aids from about R2500. Thats just for one hearing aid though i.e. one ear.

However, to blow you off your seats, hearing aids can be as expensive as R40 000 for just one hearing aid! That's it! R40 000 for one ear! And medical aid obviously doesn't always cover it.

Well that obviously serves as a benfit to the audios out there.

Moving on. Yesterday i had speech clinic and met my client for the first time. He's so sweet and he laughs at me all the time. Ok so i know that happens with most people and it's nothing new:)

But ya othr than that, varsity's been very busy at the moment. Tomorrow i've got the audio clinic and probably gettin a client there too. Last year we had adult clients to test etc, but this year it's paediatrics which will be pretty exciting. Now you probably wondering why adults before kids? Well actually, testing a child's hearing is more challenging and requires more skill than the adults. Later on we will be doing electrophysiology on the adults though, which requires us to record and monitor the brainwaves in relation to the persons ability to hear a sound etc.

Moving on from that blab... How's everybody's valentines? Would be great to hear what all of you did this year, if anything! Anyway, valentines, as i said is spent lying in bed, sick:( Besides, i got no valentines this year (not that i have a problem with that) Ok ya so i guess it would be nice to go out to dinner or do summin, but maybe next year hey. My parents are going out to dinner as well as Carla and my bro. So i'm at home alone:)

Anyway, why do so many people despise valentines? I mean it's really not that much of a deal! For all those single people out there complaining of not having a valentine, it really aint such a big deal! I'm single and i'm fine with it! look i'm not saying that i love ivalentines, but it's just one of those days that has never really crossed my mind. I think it's pretty cute with all the gifts etc. And why do guys feel so pressurized into buying things or taking their girlfriends out? Trust me, the girls really don't give what restaurant you take them to or whether you buy them a single rose or the whole florist! It's the whole concept of the day. And don't use that excuse that 'everyday should be valentines day and we don't need one day to express our love'.

Well, history shows that Valentines day originated in 270AD, where the Roman men were required to be recruited as soldiors. The Roman Empire, Claudius felt that tthe men would not make good soldiors as they were too emotionally attached to their families. He therefore banned marriage. The bishop, Valentine, was aware of the heartache these men had to go through and met up with them to join them in a sacrament of matrimony.The emperor, impressed with the young priest's dignity and conviction, attempted to convert him to the roman gods, to save him from certain execution. Valentine refused to recognize Roman Gods and even attempted to convert the emperor, knowing the consequences fully. He wass then executed on February 24, 270.

The phrase 'From your Valentine' actually comes from when Valentine was in jail. His jailor Asterius had a daughter of whom was blind and Asterius requested that Valentine heal her. Her sight was restored and just before Valentine was executed, he asked for a piece of paper and wrote a fairwell masseage to her saying "From your Valentine". THat was just a little bit of history insight for you guys. Unlike many people, i quite enjoy history.

Anyway, next weekend i've been asked to sell hamburgers at the Grand Prix which will be awesome! Ther's just two of us doing it i think and we getting paid for it. The pay is fair, but it should be loads of fun anyway. I'm not even worried about that!

Other than that guys, i think i'm gonna say fairwell for now. i'l try my best to fit another blog in a little later this evening but i'm sure i've kept you reading for long enough!

Take care my fellowed friends!
Mwah*

Would you lie with me and just forget the world...

2007-02-12T12:20:00.000-08:00

*Just a thought...( sorry if i sound like a tree hugger or summin like that)

As i flip through the pages of a book, so do i flip through the pages of my life.
The numbers of the pages, become the days recorded and i lie here reviving every living memory in my head. Each memory becomes a chapter in my life, whether it be heartbreak or joy.
They are always there.
They can be disguised as your worst nightmare, gnawing at every thought produced or may even rip your self esteem to shreds. These memories may serve as stepping stones, keeping us afloat, when we often forget who we are. Yet we still tend to hold onto them.

Sometimes i find myself tracing my footsteps into the past. Who i was. What i believed. Who were my friends and my support. I find it fascinating to see how our lives have changed over the years. How our character has changed and who we are. I don't think i could erase any of these memories, whether being good or bad.

If one looks back, it is so easy to pick up the scattered pieces we leave behind in life.
Think about your first true group of friends, your first girl/boyfriend or your first kiss. Our lives tell a whole story. I still have the photos strategically placed in a file, as if a chapter in my life was now closed. It's scary to think we just slap our lives in a book.

The music i listened to at the time has now become a melody of fairwell.I find it so strange that whenever i stumble across a song i played during a certain stage in my life, it takes me back to that moment and it were as if i were there again.
It's sometimes so scary to think we pack away our lives as the world turns. As we slap the memories onto a new, blank page everyday, we often forget to take the time to treasure these moments. We wish our lives away too much. We sit in anticipation, staring at the blank pages before us and never notice the story of today.

Someday and probably sooner than expected, this stage in my life is going to merely serve as another chapter in life. One day i'm going to read the book of my life and this is the song that will be playing over and over in my head:

Snow Patrol Chasing Cars Lyrics

We'll do it all Everything On our own
We don't need Anything Or anyone
If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

I don't quite know How to say How I feel
Those three words Are said too much They're not enough
If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life

Let's waste time Chasing cars Around our heads
I need your grace To remind me To find my own
If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am All that I ever was Is here in your perfect eyes
They're all I can see
I don't know where Confused about how as well
Just know that these things Will never change for us at all

If I lay here If I just lay here Would you lie with me and just forget the world?

So much for the hairstraightner!

2007-02-11T08:50:00.000-08:00

Hey all my little noo noo bugs out there!

Thanks for all your comments guys! Not that any of them show any love whatsoever:) And on that note... Steph, as a best friend... you should be taking my side and stop agreeing with all the guys!!!:) Anyway, let me put this straight guys. I really REALLY am not that bad when it comes to guys! It's just good conversation, that's all! How many of you AlwAys ask me.."So who's new?" I guess this is my way of putting things straight. You guys make me feel so bad now:) But anyway, i think a lot when i write so if i babble, it's merely a self-analysis of my own life, it's not intended whatsoever to bore you:guys:)

Anyway... my weekend.
I think i've already told you about Friday night- had to work and missed both the 21st and the rugby.
Saterday i had to roll outta bed again and take my car in for a service.
Had to sort out the shocks, tyres, wheel allignments and so it goes on. Cost:R3100
Having some time to spare, we headed off to the Pavillion in my dad's car. I walked away with a pair of black, pointy shoes from MIA, in which somehow i managed to get my mom to pay:)

Anyway, as buggard as anything, i headed off to a braai at Roxy's house. It was a combination of family and friend's in celebration of her birthday. the evening consisted of a few snacks and a number of different cocktails including the good old Cosmopolitan! A heavy storm broke loose, leaving a number of broken trees obstructing some of the roads in Kloof.
54 was our next destination! After having the girls flock to use the GHD hairstraightner, slap on the makeup, slip into the heels and short skirts, we only ended up arriving at 54 at roughly 10:30.

54's crowd consisted of those being in their 20's( early and late) which made the environment more pleasant and the evening more enjoyable. As i have mentioned before, i have never been much of a 54 fan. Reasons being that you walk out the doors with your clothes and hair honing of smoke and your clothes stinking of stale alcohol! Anyway, i really had a good evening last night as we gathered on the dancefloor and clicked our fingers to the beat of the music. The people were really friendly and the music attracted the right crowds. Anyway, it ended up being about six of us and man, did we have a good time. It was a very differnet crowd than usual. Often you could walk into 54 and acknowledge a number of people, whereas last night there was like hardly anyone i could recognise. The crowd wasn't familiar at all. Maybe that's what made it so good?

After many hours of dancing and throbbing feet, we ended up leaving at 3:00am. Yip that's pretty late i guess. But it really didn't seem so late cause we were having so much fun. By this time, our hair was huge. So much for the hairstraightner! After blindly driving though the thick mist, we managed to arrive back home.

I stayed over at Roxy's for the night. Well, it was only a couple of hours really and as i got home, i crashed on my bed for a couple of minutes. Lunchtime arrived and it was decided that we were tohave lunch at Spur. Now i know many of you are chuckling under your breaths and asking "why spur?"

My appetite was 'attended to' with tender chicken kebabs and three portions of vegetables including creamy spinach, buternut and mixed veg (kinda like au gratin).

My afternoon consisted of coffee at Kev's house. Actually, coming from Spur, i didn't have any coffee but we just chilled anyway. After arriving home, i had some varsity work to attend to. I was hoping to finish it before going to church but was unsuccessful.

Now i'm buggard, blogging and pondering upon my weekend;)

i think i may add in another blog a little later tonight.

If not, have an absolutley fabulous evening my friends!

Sweet dreams*

Mwah*

A little of this and that...

2007-02-09T12:48:00.000-08:00

Ok i apologise to all those males out there who had to open my blog and be enlightened by pictures of really good looking models for Dolce and Gabbana!Actually, this is Dolce and Gabbana's new model. Secondly i would like to thank Carla and apologise if i have taken her limelight, as she was the one that sent these to me.Now i'm not into a guy with hectic, overbulging muscles, but this is guy isn't bad at all!

Anyway, to save the males, i thought i would keep that part of the blog and enlighten you with my day. Headed off to varsity today and was actually pretty buggard this morning! Had to roll out of bed and actually get my act into gear. What we assumed to be a fair, short day, actually turned out to be a longer day than expected, which left us feeling exhausted and flabagasted. Now i know, Brett's going to have his little say and leave a comment regarding how short a varsity day is in comparison to all those working. But it really can be stressfull being a student at times! And it looks like it's going to be a heavy year ahead of us.

Ok, moving along... A flat tyre!

That's it! On the way through Waterfall, my car's wheel gave in. Luckily Lauren and i were close enough to a garage to have it changed, otherwise the two of us would look like idiots standing at the side of the road! Between the two of us, we've always experienced car problems either to or from varsity! Murphy's law, it always happens on a test date, before clinic or before presentations. One of the lecturers still holds it against us to this day that we were late for a test, because we broke down on the way to varsity, in our first year!

Anyway, i've always wanted to change a tyre but today i was a little reluctant to change it, considering i had four guys changing it for me. Why four guys??? Doesn't it only require one guy? I always thought changing a tyre was an easier thing but obviously not?

After arriving home, i just wanted to crash! Made myself a cuppa tea and a toasted feta sandwhich (which is weighless may i add) and parked off in front of the t.v. until i was finished. I crashed on my bed and what was only suppose to be an afternoon nap ended up to be a two hour sleep! My intentions were to wake up, and spend an hour getting ready for work. Well, turns out i woke up, having to be at work in 10minutes! I slapped on the makeup, quickly tossed my hair in a birds nest style and climbed into my work clothes!

Was so bumbed! my options for this evening were:

A) My schoolfriend's 21st. Theme: Never have i ever worn

B) Rugby at ABSA stadium: Sharks vs Warratahs

C) Work

Well, actually it didn't end up being an option at all cause i had to work... aaaargh!

They wouldn't let me off work! Anyway, didn't sulk about it and made the best of my evening. Was a good evening. I didn't go out or anything afterwards considering i need to catch up on some sleep. I watched the t.v. through the glass window of my work though. A gentleman felt my pain. " I had four tickets to watch the game but my wife and kids wanted to come to Spur", followed by a roll of the eyes. Shame, what a good man!

Well, thats my story for today i guess. My plans for tomorrow?

We, gotta wake up sparrows fart again and take my car in for a service then hit the Pavillion.

Tomorrow night i'm going to Roxy's house for a braai and there's gonna be quite a few people there i think. Shorne is going to be there too. He was the guy i met at work last night, which i mentioned in my previous blog. It will be fun! We might go out afterwards. I don't know where though. Oh and next Saterday, i'm DEFINATELY going to the game again! It's in Durban again at 8:30pm. Gotta be fun!

Will keep you update about life and all!

Mwah*

How pathetic can i get:)

2007-02-08T14:01:00.000-08:00

Hey guys!

Firstly, Thanks so much for your comments on my previous blog. You guys have really put things into perspective for me. I really think i'm being such a girl about everything! However,on a girls defense, i think it's completely stereotypical to suggest that guys are always the one's to take the plunge:)

To be honest with you, if it were any other guy then i wouldn't be so defensive but i think it's the whole '5years of friendship' idea that makes me more weary.Why not take the plunge and let him know how i feel?Actually, we've opened up to each other about our feelings before.Yip, we were both keen. But then, that was it and i think his feelings have kind of changed since then.I don't know what really happened?This was like last year January. I hadn't had been seeing him so much then. So whether i told him now or not, it wouldn't make a difference...

But i've come to the conclusion that i'm being such a girl about the situation and whatever happens happens! That's exactly why i say, he's just a really good friend and i'm happy to keep it that way! I'm not in for a relationship at this moment in time anyway. I'm not relying on a guy for my happiness! I'm single and loving it:)

Anyway, sorry to keep boring you guys AGAIN! It just helps me work things out this way so i appreciate your patience! Anyway, started varsity today. Wasn't too bad, considering i went to 80s last night. Our timetable isn't too bad either. Gotta wake up sparrows fart again tomorrow!
Well, i had to do a quick report for varsity and headed off for work, which may i add was SO dead! Roxy came and visited after work and i met a friend of hers Shorne which is such an AWESOME guy! He's so cool to talk to cause he's on the same wavelength as i am. He's excellent at graffiti, it's actually amazing and he's just applied at this modelling agency. He really does look like amodel so they approved and told him to just beef up a bit. He really is a sweet guy and so full of compliments!

Other than that, i'm home from work. Just realised that my times posted for my blogs are incorrect? Anyway... it've spent way too much time on this thing today!

I'm going to sleep now!
Sweet dreams*Mwah*

Is he playing mindgames with me?

2007-02-08T03:03:00.000-08:00

Hey all!

Let me just start off by saying that i had an awesome time last night!
It all started off with dinner at an Italian restaurant for my gran's birthday in Hilllcrest.
I wasn't too hungry but surprisingly enough i managed to finish a dish by the name of Capatelli.
It's an tangy dish consisting of the penne pasta, filled with spinach, and coated in a creamy Roquefort sauce.Now i know what many of you are thinking at the moment but come on guys, it's a classic cheese and i love it! I flushed it down with a Southerns, lime and lemonade.Dessert? Didn't even consider it!
Now many of you may or may not know that my family can eat. When i say eat, i mean eat! I just do the mains and one or two drinks. Starters would happen occasionally but not often unless i share. May i just add that carla has now become my new partner at sharing starters!

Well.. moving on from that crap, Roxy came to pick me up from dinner and we went back to my house to get ready, straighten our hair etc. So squeezed into a little mini skirt, short enough to make me blush-kiddin:) Anyway, slapped on the makeup, slipped on the Stiletto heels and straightened our hair. Our hair was so.. straight it was ridiculously AWESOME! Sorry... moving on...

We left my house at roughly 9:45pm and picked Roxy's cousin up from the cricket at Kingsmead Stadium. We ended up at 80s and headed straight for the bar, where i broke loose from my famous spin and had a Savannah with lemon to start the evening off. I had no intentions drinking too much as i knew i had to sit through lectures the next day.
We hit the dance floor and the place was pumping. At first it looked like McDonald's playplace but it soon became a little more of the older crowd. We met up with a friend Mike and all his friends. They were really great guys and a lot of fun. I ended up arriving home at about 2am and crashed. OK so you want the juicy part right?
Well here it is... i saw him...

Yip that's it. I saw my 'potentially hot friend' from afar. I wasn't too keen approaching him first and thought i'd keep dancing. Besides, i'm always the one to approach him first and i never chase! It was like a reoccurance of Joe's where we both knew that we had seen each other but was just 'testing'. Although i was pretty sure this time, he hadn't known that i knew that he was there. (sorry for all the confusion but hope you keeping up) It was like i could see him from the corner of my eye looking at me, so i knew he had seen me, cause it happened a couple of time. Anyway, what made me so pissed off was that he started playing my game and gave it back to me. He starts chatting up a girl right NEXT to me! I was like 'aaargh whatever!'
A little later, we caught each other's eye and eventually he ended up dancing with us etc.
It's so awesome how we can have such a comfortable relationship with each other that either way we know it won't jeopordise the friendship... or will it?

You see, i'm generally good at reading people but i just cannot read him. He gives such mixed signals! Sometimes i generally think that there could be more from his side and i'm not going to go into detail why (sorry guys buy i gotta have a little bit of privacy in my own life too.. will let you in on so much and thats it:) Other times, i'm not sure. I think we both just love the flirting part of it but don't want anything to happe.I think what makes it difficult is that we're not in an exactlt perfect environment for conversation. I mean, what if all this can jeopordise our friendship and what if it does? I mean.. you may not believe me but i wouldn't want anything to happen between us. Ya he's hot and all and we're so alike in many ways, but i don't think i would want it to go further than this. I think he's the same. And he's a guy AND a rugby player! There are probably SO many girls out there chasing after him! I always tell him that but he doesn't believe it. Let me let you in on alittle more...

A year ago, over sms i told him that he deserves an awesome girl and he replied
'If i could get an awesome girl, it would be you. The problem is this girl doesn' want me.'
That's to cut a long and complicated story short. I don't know what to believe hey. Like i say, maybe it will effect our friendship because we both get kinda jeoulous if we see each other with another guy/girl. What if i start giving him the wrong impression and he tries to back off or something?
I'm really not prepared to risk it hey...

Please guys.. let me know what you think cause your say means so much!
otherwise thanks for lending me an ear*

Mwah*

It's frikkin impossible...

2007-02-07T06:27:00.000-08:00

Well, hey all!

Let me just start off by telling you that i woke up this morning and headed off to the Pavillion again today! (Went yesterday) It was a good drive, apart from the eldery gentleman nearly knocking me off the road, because he carelessly hadn't checked his blindspot or indicated whatsoever. I must add that people should be doing this more often!

I think i'm already broke and i haven't even hit the 10th! Usually i tend to make it to the 10th which is ridiculous:)
Anyway, i've come to the conclusion that for me it is impossible to walk in and out of the Pavillion, and not walk away with something in your hand! Anyway, yesterday i walked out with a parsle consisting of underwear, a bracelet, jewellery and a bag. Today i walked away with another parsle of underwear, more jewellery, and yip.... another bag! The bag i bought today is a really really really nice bag and i'l try post a picture of a similar one at some stage!

Well.. i'm just about to get ready for my dinner tonight as well as 80's.
Nothing new to tell you yet. Will try add a new post by tonight, but i may be pretty buggard and i'm expecting i'l just crash, considering i have to get up early for my first day back at varsity tomorow.

Sorry for the bore guys but will chat soon!
Mwah*

Girls will be girls...

2007-02-06T14:26:00.000-08:00

I firstly want to send out a general letter of apology acknowledging those of whom i may have offended in my previous posts. It has come to my attention that one or two individuals found it offensive that i post stories about my 'potentially hot friend', my ex or any other individual which may be so catagorized under the male species.

Truth be told that every girl has the innate ability and desire to acknowledge one with a potentially good looking characteristic whether it be his hair, his smile, those gorgeous blue eyes, those muscles, the style of dress, the tan and so i can go on!
Guys love it too! They just tend to focus more on what's under that new sexy top and push-up bra! Or where those skinny, brown legs really lead to!

On that note... a guy has to have good style of dress! That is a real headstart to any girls heart!
There is nothing more attractive than a guy with confidence. Not too much though. It should be enough to keep a girl wondering. So often have we stumble across a guy in a club and someone would comment on a guy's style of dress. He wasn't even that good looking but that button-up, collar shirt, open far enough to show a little skin, the low cut Levis, his subtle fragrance and his hair was enough to catapult a girl across the dance floor. It's all about confidence.
I suppose it would be the same with the girls style of dress. Not too confident, but confident enough. I don't know guys... let me here what your views are. I'm interested to know*

well... on a new note... nothing much has really happened with the ex (Ross) or the
'potentially hot friend'. Sorry, wish there were.
I might be able to have a bit more insight for you by tomorrow night or even thursday!
Why? Wel... my friend and i decided we're going to 80's tomorrow night! Not becaues of him but because i wanted to go out again before startin varsity again. I start varsity on Thursday. Ya i know, going out Wednesday night, then varsity Thursday, but i'm really not gonna get so cut up about it! i'm still entitled to some form of fun.
This is my plan for tomorrow if any of you wanna know what i'm getting up to:

I'm waking up (hopefully). Might hit the Pavillion with my mom and do a little shopping. She's finished her exams (Psychology) so she's breaking loose a little.
I don't know what else for the day, but tmorrow is my grans dinner and we going to some Italian place in Hillcrest which apparently is good? roxy will pick me up on the way back from cricket, and we'l go back to her place, get ready, straighten our hair etc.
Then...80s it is. Well... this is plan A so lets hope it'l still happen. Maybe i'l see my potential cause him and his friends were considering it, but i'm not going to cut myself about it if he aint there. I'm going for my last jol before varsity! So, hopefull it'l still happen and i'l let you know how it goes!

Otherwise... thats it from me for now!
Mwah* Mwah* Mwah*

I saw him at the bar again...

2007-02-04T16:05:00.000-08:00

Anyway... before i start off with him, let me just add a little thing about the ex.
Read my previous blog to get the story. Remember he told me about his new girlfriend? Anyway... i'm off the Joe Cools tonight for a good jol and i get this sms from the ex:

Ross: So on a scale from one to ten, how bumbed are you with me?

(huff/puff)....aaargh... honestly get over yourself now! I didn't say that but was definately thinking it! I bet he thinks i'm sitting at home, balling my eyes out and 'ignoring him' as he always says i do. Truth is, i'm sitting at joe's with a drink in my hand, chatting to a group of good people and snapping my fingers to the beats of the music:) So i haven't replied. That can wait a while:)

Onto this 'potentially hot friend' of mine:
I smsed him, knowing he was in the area, letting him know that we'll be at Joe Cools tonight. I didnt ask him or anything but kinda just let him know. Coincidentally, his reply was:

'Snap. great minds think alike. I'm busy driving there as i sms. See you now. Was a last minute thing.'

So anyway.. this is the funny part. I arrive at Joe Cools with my friends Roxy and Heather. Walk in, grab a drink and kinda suss out the scene but not search. I never search:) So i spotted him, but played it a bit. Pointed him out to my two friends and avoided eye contact with him. I was waiting to see whether or not he had spotted me out and whether or not he would approach me first. We grabbed a drink and hit the dance floor. Half an hour later, i'm thinking surely he must have seen me by now! So i make the move:

'Hey man. You here?'

His response was:

'Yip and i know you've seen me, and i've seen you. Just waiting for you to come say hello, i'm just trying to see something. Sorry just testing'

I was like ah ha how frikkin blind! Anyway, the three of us headed for the dance floor and he was nowhere in site. So i tried not to make it obvious but i was just scanning the place to see if he were anywhere. I turned around and i saw him watching me from a far. Blind! Anyway...
the evening was great! I met a couple of his friends and they were keen on my friends which was pretty funny!I just find it sometimes difficult to talk to somebody in that sort of environment. You can't hear a word they're saying! So we struggled a little bit when it came to having long conversations. It would have been awesome if we could chat more. Was pretty funny- this guy was dancing next to me and he was pretty annoying so my friends told me they were going to get a drink. After following them, this guy wants to carry on dancing with me. But i don't wanna be rude so i tell him, that i'm coming back etc. Anyway, at that moment my 'potentially, hot friend' from the other side of the club came and took my hand, and walked with me to the bar. Wait for it..... aaaaahhhhh:)
We really had an awesome time together though and it's an evening i'll never forget.

There's just like the chemistry there and everything and the attraction is there but it just aint happening. And like i say, in some sense i think we're both scared of ruining things between us, or hurting one another. I'm cool if we were to just stay friends i guess.

Anyway, we ended up leaving at about 1:00am, after finding out whether a guy working behind the bar had a girflfriend or not. It wasn't for me but for Roxy. I kind of mbarrassed her by telling the barman that she thought he was cute. (She did) So he said he thought she was cute too. After going back later, finds out he's gotta girlfriend anyway. He was such a cool guy with a good heart and good sense of humour!

Anyway... so that's it for now. Hope you managing to keep up with all this new news!
**Sweet dreams**

"Hope that doesn't hurt you".... he says!

2007-02-04T07:51:00.000-08:00

On Sunday 4th February, Sms reads as follows:

Hey Kle glad to see the ignoring of me was only temporary. Saw ur bro and girlfriend whilst dropping garths dad at rugby- wondered if you were there. So the hols come to an end at last? You looking forward to the busy year? Mine has started way to busy. Just to let you know Lyndall and i are now dating- hope that doesn't hurt you,as always i don't intend to hurt. Hope to see you around. Ross

Um... hold on a minute! I think you should read my previous blog dude! It's not one of those heartbreaker blogs i use to write. May i just mention that your name isn't gnawing at me anymore but instead i've moved on and realised that i want something way better and that my life is more than just hoping for a relationship that i may not really want and that i'm not wasting my life away being cut up over something like this!

It's quite funny recieving an sms like that after a night like last night! Wrong timing man! It's been how long since we broke up? You really think i'm still holding on?
And to the readers out there... Read two blogs back.
In this blog, Ross sends an sms telling me that i'm on his mind?? I even explained the situation and gave you options A,B,C or D.

Well it's a pretty screwed up story now so i really don't know what the answer is! Is he just trying to prove a point?
Anyway... If you want to read further and a bit of a lighter note...
Please Please Please read the next blog:) (the one before this one i.e. the previous blog:)

Anyway.. Luv ya guys for hearing me out*
Mwah*

He's just a 'friend'...

2007-02-04T02:02:00.000-08:00

So where does it start...

Let me tell you about my day yesterday firstly.
I woke up, had to do a bit of grocery shopping and then headed to a braai at Steph's house.
Now Steph is my best friend from school and she had a fairwell for a frind of ours that is leaving to train for rugby in Austrailia.

With intentions of going to the rugby Sharks vs Blue Bulls match, i could not stay at the braai for long. i had to keep a good track of time throughout the day. This include backtracking the amount of time it'l take us to get there, how long i would take to get ready and do my hair, what time we meeting the others etc etc. So i left the braai at roughly 1:30pm.

Arring home, i was told to be ready by 2:30. Travelling there was fine but parking was ridiculously packed! We drove around for 2HOURS trying to find parking! As we approached a new entrance, we were asked whether or not we had a permit card or not.. Obviously as you guessed... we didn't. Eventually, after finding some parking next to a broken-down shed, we managed to take our seats just before half time. So as we sat down, the stadium flocked for drinks and food.

Anyway, remember this friend i told you about? We get on so well and he's one of those friends that you can flirt with but you know that whatever happens, it won't jeopordise the friendship?
IT kinda works both ways with us. There's the attraction from both sides but it's just all for the fun of it. I've known this guy for about 5 or 6 years now and we've stayed on contact ever since.
If you read our smses, it's as if we were together and everytime we see each other, it's like nothing else matters. But, we always kinda leave it there.
He plays for the Sharks Rugby Acadamy (A lot of my friends may know exactly who i'm talking about now)

Well, we both said we would meet up sooner or later throughout the evening becasue we both had the same plans- Rugby and then 80s.
So i only ended up seeing him at 80s and this is how it happened.During the rugby we said we would hook up at 80s. I walk into 80s and spot him at a bar, with his phone in his hand.
Anyway, he said he was busy smsing me and had just phoned me but i left my phone in the car so only got it afterwards. Oh my, it was so awesome to see him and he looked SO SO hot! Now let me just add that i'm very fussy when it comes to guys:) But he really looked like a guy from Archers Aqua:)

Anyway... i'm not going to write down the exact details because that would just be too gay and invasive:) that's for me to know*It would also make me sound like a real girl! Boy meets girl.... they stared deeply into each others eyes sorta stuff:) Sorry i'm not going to do that but what i am going to tell you is that it gets better and better everytime we see each other. He treats me so well and it sometimes feels like we are together. I guess my attraction for him has grown to a much greater extent, but to be honest with you, i'm just seeing what's happening i guess. How i see it at the moment... he really is just a friend*....

A little bit more on the ex...

2007-02-02T13:56:00.000-08:00

Welll... it's been a frikkin busy week for me! Just been doing the odds and ends.
Worked tonight but just gonna cut the story short.
Throught the evening, i consistantly check my phone for any messages or plans to meet with a friend after work.
Tonight i had three:
1) From the other hostess asking whether or not i was working tonight
2) A friend Daniel, requesting we go to rugby tomorrow night, sharks vs blue vulls and hit 80s after for a good jol.
3) THE EX....

What actually makes the situation funny is that i actually have his number on my phone as
THE EX. It adds a bit of humour every time i receive an sms or phonecall from him rather than the name Ross.

Anyyway, his mom smsed me on Wednesday:

'Been thinking about you and hope you have a wonderful day. May all your dreams and wishes come true.'

I thought it was really sweet and she's always had a kind, caring heart!
Then tonight i recieve the message from my ex:

'Hey u. Had you on my mind alot lately. Hope you're doing superbly well...(asked bit about varsity) Well, drop me an sms when you get a minute.'

So have i? No not yet... I will but i'm not going to reply straight away. Don't get me wrong, i'm not trying to play with the guy, but just not yet...

So this is the situation. We broke up. His dad passed away and the breakup was just about immediate. He needed some 'time and space'. Months pass and heard a rumour he had a new girlfriend. After confronting him about it, finds out it wasn't true ( and i know for a fact he wasn't lying) There were feelings on his behalf but things kind of fell through between the two of them (so i'm led to believe). Now he's contacting me.

Choose one of the following:

A) He's lonely and needs that companion
B) He's sussing out what's up in my life or if anyone's taken his place
C) He's screwing with my head
D) He really does miss me

Well... let me know your answers if any. I don't know. I guess i wont know unless i give it some time. I was asked tonight whether i would take him back or not. My response: He's going to have to work a lot harder if he's even considering it,
I believe when our hearts are broken by someone we learn to love, they take a piece of us. I believe trust has a lot to play in the situation. You trust the person, that they will never hurt you if you gave them your whole heart. They take that heart and crush it. That's when it hurts. So somtimes we need to think twice about giving our hearts away, even if we do believe we can trust them.

Thanks for hearing me out. Your opinions mean a lot to me*
Sweet Dreams*

Material girl, living in a material world...

2007-02-01T14:27:00.000-08:00

Ah man... my love for fashion has grown!

I don't know if i ever mentioned that i had intentions of taking fashion design or going into some form of fashion line. It was however overuled by my other choice of taking the degree i'm doing today...Audiology.

I really love my degree and i think it's probably better off than fashion design but i reckon once i'v got my degree behind me i'm going to further explore my passion for fashion and the fashion field!

Anyway... was just a thought to add.

On that note... i bought an awesome bag today! A bit pricy but worth every penny*

Chat tomorrow*

Just another day...

2007-01-31T14:40:00.000-08:00

Well... i think this is gonna be a short blog as i really am poked and probably gotta long day tomorrow.

Ok so where shall i start off? Ok i didn't end up goin to Casablanca last night (reasons provided in my previous blog) and i was actually really buggard!

Well.. as for today, i woke up roughly 7:30am (thats a real challenge for me considering it's varsity holidays!) I went to Stephs house for coffee until about 11:00.
Before i speak further on that note, i'l just add that i dropped my mom off in Durban for an exam ( i needed the car), came home, made dinner and then chilled at Erin's house and watched The Negotiator. That's to cut my day short.
It seems so little yet i'm so buggard! The driving takes it out of you!

Well, i offered to do dinner tonight and it was kind of a surprise for my parents...aaaahhh...
Anyway, the mains consisted of a Chicken Cordon Bleu Casserole, served with rice, butternut, potato and a little side salad with tomato, feta etc.
Desserts were served consisting of a light fluffy chocolate mousse, of which i'm still feeling now, because it was really creamy and rich.
It wasn't suppose to be anything major but i just sort of added the touches here and there and it ended up huge! It was really good though and no one appears to be sick in bed or chucking yet:)

Well, i'l elaborate a little more tomorrow because i think i may have a little time here and there.
I'm having my nails done tomorrow and then working tomorow night, but for now...
GOODNIGHT*

Casablanca- To be or not to be...

2007-01-30T09:16:00.000-08:00

Well, i'm caught in another frenzy of decisions i have to make again.
Ok actually it's just one choice i have to make.
My friend Teri asked me to join her at Casablanca tonight. I was stoked and amped at first but now i'm slowly having second thoughts.
It's not that i'm not keen but just a bit lets say.. weary.
Smses are as follows:

Teri: Hey kle. Are you keen for Casa tonight? A friend is looking for a date.

My first impression is: 'Cool i'm amped. Havent been there for a while')

My second impression is: 'ok here i am going with her and her boyfriend and his friends' I only really know Teri.Doesn't sound so bad does it? Sounds like bliss actually*

Third impression is: ok so they're a little bit of an older crowd right. Teri being roughly 25 and the guys being roughly in their late 20s, early 30s. Still would be fun to be with a new crowd.'

Fourth impression is: Maybe not.

so here i am sitting and contemplating. My reply is:

Kle: Is he hot? (it was a joke)

Teri: Well, there's two of them. One is blonde and the other is tall and dark. For a vibe...

So i was like hhmm... truth was that i actually wasn't going for them at all. I just wanted to suss out what crowd was going and whether i would actually get on with these guys or whether they would simply get there, get pissed out of there minds, start grabbing your ass like it's a free for all and offering to buy you a drink just to see you get pissed enough to be with them in the subconscious state. And may i mention that the smell of stale, alcohol breath is the least bit attractive, especially when clouds of smoke are blown in your face at the same time!

I'm not generalizing at all. I just heard through Teri the sort of things her boyfriends friends get up to. I'm totally in for an evening of fun and as pissed as they may be, i'm sure i'l get on with them more, but i don't really want to go tonight with any expectations of being with somebody just for the sake of it. I would prefer to go with the crowd, have a couple of drinks and have a jol. I'm not jus going to be another name on a list or just another girl in a club. That doesn't mean i'm going to blow tonight off though. I'l give it some thinking:) I'm actually getting pretty mellow as we speak. Besides, Teri and i are VERY different shall we say:) We get on so well yet we are two totally differnt people. Lets say... she's not very shy when it comes to guys. Don't get me wrong. That's not the reason why i'm having second thoughts about tonight.
I think i'm gonna stick to my last impression.... Maybe not

Anyway, let me know what you males and all my male friends out there have to say. Hope i haven't blown things out of preportion. Maybe these guys tonight aren't the sort of guys i'm assuming them to be.
Anyway... will let you know if i end up going or not.
I really am still keen for a good nights jol though;)

Who's up for sushi??

2007-01-29T15:45:00.000-08:00

Ok so it was a last minute sort of thing.
Erin phoned me up and wondered if i'd like to join her and the gang for sushi at the Cape Town Fish Market. Me being a sushi fan could not turn down the offer. After having a good workout at gym, i hopped in the car and headed straight to her house, where we would depart for Sun Coast Casino.
After offering to take my car up, parking was not a problem, considering it was a Monday night.
The evening was greatly enjoyed as i had never been to a proper sushi set up with the conveyer belt and all. I had worked at John Dory's before and it was during this time that the waitors and waitresses would gather around and indulge in all the left over sushi which was already made. This was particularly on Monday nights, when the ongoing special was R90 for sushi, eat as much as you want. This was the firts time i had ever tried sushi. Arriving at the sushi bar, my appetite was not calling as much as it was when i left home and so i just sat there admiring how the sushi was made and how they were proudly displayed, each on their own little dish, stimulating the appetite as each passed by. The evening went by rather quickly and now i sit at home in this dreadful Durban heat. Hey... who am i to complain, I love Durban, it's just the humidity that gets a bit out of hand some days. My pool was even too warm to swim in today, as i attempted taking a dunk every 5minutes after tanning. Lets just say, it wasn't very successful.

Other than that, i've been through passing through the area and prowling for some new clothes! I love times like these. I managed to buy three tops today and some accessories to go with it. Tomorrow i'm going back and buying a pair of shoes i saw earlier today (i wasn't too sure on them, but hey they were selling them for a bargain!)

Tomorrow, i have to roll out of bed and register for varsity again (rememeber the course i told you i was doing?) Aaargghh... such a mission but has to be done. Then i gotts take my pooch in to the doggie parlor for a cut and groom:)

Other than that... no news hey! I had a dream about my ex last night.. i woke up and was like ergh! I heard that a dream means something. Even the fact that you dream it, it shows that it's on your mind.
Well, i did say i would add in a little more everytime. What i can tell you is something very odd.
After say September, i hardly heard from my ex at all.. So i was like ok with iyt. It kind of got me over the whole situation. Then in December, he starts smsing again. All friendly and everything as nothing ever happened. He would say stuff like " Hope you not misbehaving without me, alcohol can lead to bad behaviour" blah blah blah. I didn't reply to any of his smses because i felt there was no urgency to and it was better for me not too.Another reason is because i kind of heard thorugh the grapevine that he had a new girlfriend. I wasn't really bumbed about that but it frustrated me more that he still asked me over to his house and made out as tough there was no one etc. It's sounds complicated but you gotta know the whole story. So that's why i'l brush on a little everytime.

Anyway, having not replied to his smses, i et a phone call out the blue and he was like so friendly andsussing out my life etc. So i kinda joked with him and probed him about this whole girlfriend thing, which he denies. I believe him though. Anyway... that was like beginning of Jan and now i haven't heard a peep from him at all! What the hell? Am i analyzing this too much?
Maybe i'm just being stupid, but i think this guy really likes a chase! let me know what you think..
Will spill you on a little more next time!

Gotta sleep now... Got a long day ahead of me!
MwaH*

Dreaming with a broken heart...

2007-01-28T13:54:00.000-08:00

Well... tonight i made the wrong move by slicing open healing wounds.

I stumbled across a song on my computer which i really love with all my heart, but it continues to bring forth memories of my ex. A time where we both met and where nothing seemed to have gone wrong. It was a time where the goosebumps use to appear on my skin everytime i received an sms from him. It was a stage where we both got together and the song brought such comfort to the relationship. It was like we were floating on cloud nine. I still remember sitting in his car with his cologne subtly filling the air. He would play the cd for me over again and and it appeared that nothing could go wrong. There was such a sense of compassion for one another. I use to play the songs of the cd over again, throughout our relationship.
It use to bring me such comfort.

By playing these songs, it would take me to a place i prefered to be. In his arms. At a dam. Under the stars. Or on the top of a hill, watching the world pass by together. By playing these songs, i experienced a sense of peace.

I carelessy slipped in the wrong cd tonight and over and over again, each song hit me like a knife stabbing through a bleeding heart. Each breath was compensated by a tear. Each tear represented a piece of my heart. Tonight i shed the same tears i once shed when i knew the days were over. I look through the album of memories, displayed on my computer and long to replace these photos with new memories.

I knew it was wrong to look back. Instaed of bringing contentment, i was enveloped by a wave of grief. I know they say time can only tell. And i do believe i am stronger than what i thought. Truth is that sometimes i think it's ok to look back. As tough as it may be, it's good to realise that you can be happy like that again. It's good to realise that you grow up and realise that you're worth a whole lot more and that there really is something better out there for you. It's true when they say that if it doesn't kill you,it only makes you stronger. Whats is sad though is that a lot of my trust was put into this relationship and it's sad to believe that i don't think i'l be able to give the next guy the same amount of trust as what i gave my ex. I guess it makes one more weary of who we can trust and who we can love.

I once began a journal and within this journal, i wrote out a few thoughts of my feelings at the time. I'm going to post a page from what i had written in the journal after the breakup:

Date: 31st August '06

I feel like the pressure inside of me is starting to reach it's limits. The fire deep inside of me just keeps burning and gets hotter and hotter. I can't stop crying. The tears just keep streaming. Happiness and joy become unfamiliar to me and a foreign language. I feel as though i don't know myself anymore. It's as if the whole world were spinning around me. Spinning with joy and happiness, laughing at me while i just stand there in the middle. My prides and joys have been stripped from my bare skin and my happiness sucked out of me, leaving me feeling empty and most of all tired. I wake up every morning with my blanket suffocating me with the thoughts of unworthiness and the feeling of being alone. I feel as though my heart has torn apart and ripped into threads as the world passes before my eyes. How i wish for the pain to stop. I wish it were the end. I wish the unanswered questions that were constantly gnawing at my brain and every inch of my body would just dissipate and let things be. Loneliness has become my new best friend. It sucks out my breath, like a leach pierced within my skin. I'm like a doll. A mask of happiness on the outside but crying in the inside. A sense of emptiness, numbness and coldness overwhelm me. I write and cannot stop writing, but find hinderance in the fact that i can only express myself to a certain degree and then i'm speechless. It's true that words can never express the true heart, but one can break it. Mine was broken and i still hold the shattered pieces in the palm of my hands.

Ok so i'm sorry if that was really dramatic but i really was bumbed at that stage of my life.Don't worry, as suicidal as it sounds i'm not:) I'm very expressive when it comes to my emotions, as i don't express them much verbally. Ok so i guess i'm not feeling the same now as what i was back then. I'm feeling a lot stronger. I actually feel MUCH better after writing this blog!I always made a promise to myself that i would never let a guy affect me so badly that it changes who i am. I failed because at this stage in my life i had come to place i never ever wanted to be and i was there. I've grown now and i'm sticking to that promise now. Never again am i letting a guy affect me to such a degree that i had to rely on him to be happy. I am happy as an individual and don't need to rely on anyone for my happiness.I'm also not as shy when it comes to putting my foot down with the male species:)

Now i know why they say it only makes you stronger. I can never regret what happened either because i am a stronger person today because of it.

Thanks for hearing me out!
Hope it's been a lesson learnt for all of us...
I will touch a little more in my next couple blogs but i am gonna be off now.
Must put my mind to ease*

My love for Gucci

2007-01-28T04:09:00.000-08:00

Ah man...
I've always been a Gucci fan and taken to the likings of their quality accessories.
I was so frustrated as a couple of weeks ago, i spotted the most divine Gucci bag. It costed an arm and a leg but just staring at it made me satisfied and content. However, needless to say, i went searching for my friend to provid her with the same tingly feelings i felt just staring at it on the shelf, glowing as it proudly shone through the glass window.

Walking through the glass doors of the store, anticpitating to soon spot the bag i had fallen in love with, a feeling of dissapointment enveloped me. The voices around me, began to feel somewhat further and unreal. It felt like a scene from a movie- the loss of a loved one. My heart skipped a beat and my breath turn to ice as i exhaled. The bag was gone...yes...gone:(
The stand where the bag stood so proudly on it's pulpit was removed.

I then moved on to the next store where i saw an awesome pair of shoes and bought those instead!

80's here we come...

2007-01-27T14:01:00.000-08:00

Arriving home from the berg, i get a number of smses on my phone. One of them being from my brother's girlfriend, Carla requesting that i join them for a pleasant dinner at John Dory's followed by a good night jol at 80's. Rumour was going round that 80's was hitting big and it was the place to be.
As black eyed and bushy tailed as i was from the berg, i'll never turn down an invite to a good night out in Durban. Even with my lack of clothes, i ws bound to make a plan!

The evening started off with dinner. Me being not so hungry had a John House Salad which i truly recommend for one who craves a tangy light meal. It's a salad consisting of lettuce, grilled chicken pieces, slices of avo, egg, bacon and wait for it...blue cheese sauce i.e. Roquefort sauce. Ok so blue cheese has more of an aquired taste i guess but i just love it. My brother and Carla both had a steak and Calamari special served with chips and onion rings. Calamari i must say is another favourite of mine but as i say, i don't think i could have managed to force down a whole dish of calamari by myself, that particular evening. My salad was accompanied by a Smirnoff Spin, which appears to have become my all round sort of drink now. I used to hit the Rose wine, but after bad experiences, it has become more of a 'speciality' now. I think it can be one of those drinks that if you drink too much of it, you just get sick of it!
Another favourite of mine is Southerns and Lime on the rocks (single or double, depending my mood:)

Moving on.. intentions were to wait for our friends Daniel and Nina (both work at John Dory's) both of whom were to finish their shifts at 9:00pm. After much waiting around and contemplating, the final decision was to hit BURN. First thing that came to my mind was that drinks were much cheaper than the usual club and i could wear flat shoes:) My brother anticipated that 80's would be too full and we would be better off at BURN. So BURN it was.

Walking in, we realise that it wasn't the place to be. Don't get me wrong... we sat down with a couple of drinks and chilled there for about an hour. My brother managed to squeeze in a couple of headbanging moves downstairs whilst Carla, Daniel and myself chilled on the balcony upstairs. It was a cool vibe but we came up with an even better idea- 54.
Ok so i haven't realy been much of a 54 sort of person but we had a real jol tonight. Well... i did!
It's always so satisfying walking into a club and chatting to a couple of old mates.(now i'm not talking about those old ones who don't actually give about you but just say hi to look good in front of their friends). I'm talking about those good mates that you can have a dance here and there with and just have a jol. The music was good, the vibe was good and the people were good too. I think we must have arrived at 54 at bout 12:00 and departed at about 2:00.
I think it brings back a lot of memories from last year as my friend Lauren and i have real good memories of last year there! We always used to hit the Strawberry Dacquiries! They were so cheap.

Well, after dropping my brother off at Carla's, i drove my dads car home and anticipated just crashing until i walked into my room and realised the state it was in! I had to clear my bed first before i got a good nights sleep. My head hit the pillow at 3:30am.

Well... that was my eventful evening after an eventful day... Sorry to say but there was no potential hey if that's what you're wondering. Maybe next time!
Well... my next destination is the new Joe Kools (that was an option for last night too)
That should be the next best place to be! I don't think it will be so young as Tiger became so there should be good potential there! That should be awesome.
On that note.. There's Lady's evening at 54 on tuesday and i actually think it's going to be big!

Chat later! Now i really need to sleep!
MwaH*

Back to reality...

2007-01-27T12:42:00.000-08:00

Hey well i'm back again from the berg! Had an awesome time but feel like i've been hit by a bus! How do i ever wish upon these things? Anyway.. i'm gonna try give you as much interesting news as possible and will try with every intention to avoid any form of bordom.
And on that note, photos were taken so i'l try my best to post them asap.

A couple of us were invited to Erin's time share at the Drakensberg Gardens. The crowd basically consisted of six of us, four guys, two girls. Howard then joined up with us for a couple of days, making it seven. The group consisted of Erin, Clint, Mike, Stefan, Dave, Howard and myself.

Anyway, it all started when my friend Clint picked me up at round 1:00pm. Of course everybody was running late- whats new? After having packed the trailer, we departed Erin's house at roughly 2:00pm. As we were bobbing to the beats of the music and clicking our fingers to the tunes, we were distacted by a desperated cry for help. Within the first 10minutes drive, Clint realised he had carelessy left his phone in his car...aaaargh the frustaration to turn around and fetch it! But we did that and departed for the second time round.
Now, i can say that i never succeed sleeping in a car or even have the ability to get comfortable. It was innate in the others that they had this ability to simply pass out and kick off the journey in a deep coma. Thinking of it, i haven't had much sucess lately when it comes to putting my head on the pillow. Anyway, it did me good to take some time off and ponder a little about life as i stared through the glistening car windows.

Arriving at the Drakensberg Gardens at roughly 5:00pm, we were all poked with the travelling. The trip appeared to be a lot longer, considering we missed the turnoff.
After making a simple dinner consisting of boerewors rolls, the evening proceeded with a few games of poker and a couple of the guys strumming on their guitars. Poker became an addiction to me this week. Never had i fully understood the game of poker or the rules involved.
After consuming a fair amount of wine, we found the evening to be a pleasant one of laughing and just 'screwing around'. We were disturbed by a knock at the front door at about 2:00am. There was a request by our neighbor to 'keep the noise down'. Well, we kind of brushed it off and tried our best to keep the volume levels to a minimum... well.. we said we would try our BEST. Anyway, the folowing night, we simply took the noise outside, to the otherside of the dam where we could be heard but not seen. It was like walking blindly. It was pitch black that nothing could be seen. Of course the guys did a good job at scaring Erin and myself a couple of times. Anyway, we were greeted by a security guard just 'passing through' at like 1:00 in the morning.

The rest of the holiday consisted of a numerous amount of games of squash, tennis, pool, table tennis, and as i mentioned previously-poker. I was rather disgusted when one of the staff members at reception accused me of being a liar! What the hell! We were keen to see what the game of bowls consisted of (as boring as it looks). Clint, Stefan and myself took the dive and tried a game. Only after returning the balls back at the reception, we were asked to pay R45- Ok seriously, why hadn't he told me before the frikin game and why so much? It wasn't even like it was a deposit. So he basically claimed that he told me that there was a charge and how much. So was like 'seriously bru, we not trying to get a free game outta you but we seriously didnt know and why the hell didnt you tell us?' So he was like 'oh ok, ya.. i didn't tell you' all sarcastically! aaaarrgghhh.... It's probably cause he saw a whole bunch of youngsters. He would never have used the same tone of voice with a more 'authoritive position' shall i say.
So Clint asked to speak to the manager and she was concentrating more on her frikkin smoke than doing anything about it. She then got all cocky with us and ended the conversation with "I'l let it slide ut it'l never happen again" I wanted to take every one of those balls and shove it up her ass!

On a lighter note, we spent a fair amount of time at the river.. Was awesome. Will post those photos too! We even went on a little raft on the dam which was pretty cool and mellow too!

It's so strange how we become so oblivious to other parts of the world, when we so stuckin our own worlds of working and the hustle and bustle of the people everywhere. When you're in the berg, it's like a form of escape! It's awesome! It's like you're on a natural high!

Anyway.. On the way back, we vivsted a cheesary in Underberg. Was awesome there as she allowed us to try the differnt types of cheeses etc.

Well...i'm pretty much over this blog and i'm sure you are too!
I'l spill you in on a little here and there as to what i can remember of the berg but right now my energy levels are so so so low!

Will keep you updated and thanks for lending me your ears!
Sweet dreams!

PS- forgive me if my grammar or spelling is poor! I think a lot at night, but my grammar and spelling can't seem to keep up with my thinking process! Get the idea?

Oooops..

2007-01-19T02:34:00.000-08:00

I really am sorry about the poor grammar and spelling in my previous blog. Was just in such a rush! Thanks for your patience* BYE*

A complete waste of time...

2007-01-19T02:14:00.000-08:00

Anyway, i'm just gona start off with a little bitching session then i'l procede with my blog.
Firstly i ended up at work last night and they were giving me crap about going away this week, with the reason being that it was simply the 'wrong time' and there was no one that could replace me. I originally made plans to go away and even confirmed it with one of the manangers. I warned them on MONDAY that i had intentions going away and they made it all out to be perfectly fine. So last night they said i couldn't go away unless i found someone. Aaargh.. ok i know thats how it generally works with most restaurants but wait for it... I phoned up another girl (the other hostess) pleading her to work for me. Turns out she could work two out of the three shifts but couldn't work tonight. So i thought this was a bit of a head start. Turns out i was wrong. The Duzi race is on today and there are expectations of the restaurant being extremely busy, soi they needed me to que. So basically it was one nights work for a whole frikkin weeks holiday! Anyway, i desperatley grabbed one of the waitresses of whom i thought was competent enough and told the managers that this girl will be working for me. I know they probably aren't really happy with me but come on!

So that's it, i'm off to the berg in about half an hour and i really am looking forward to it. I managed to squeeze in a quick session of gym this morning, so i at least don't feel as guilty.
I'm just a bit tired though as i couldn't sleep last night.

I was awake until like 2am again, stairing at my ceiling.. Why? My wall had become like a feeding field of four lizzards.I usually don't have a problem with lizzards. It's those other creeping, crawling, flying things that annoy me. There is nothin as annoying as here a flapping beetle, continously knocking itslef against your ceiling the whole night. It suddenly stops. You hope slowly start dozing until it soars down, landing on your nose, sending those itching sensations right across your face.. I wanted to scream. So i lay there, watching these four lizzards pick up one bug after the other, until two of them turn against each other and start fighting over their prey... aaargh... disgusting! I was praying one of those wouldn't land on me!

Anyway... gonna run. Wouldnt wanna be late now.
I will definatley keep you updated!

Bye*

A short note..

2007-01-18T05:00:00.001-08:00

I have intentions keeping this blog short but who knows!

Anyway, i just finished cooking supper. No i don't cook often but tonight was just one of those nights i had to do it. Then a little later on i have to go to work. Work? Oh i forgot to tell you that i work as a hostess/que lady at a restaurant about three times a week. The hours aren't that bad and the pay is fair i guess. I think if i had to work more often, it would pay off as a good job, considering i get paid for just standing at the door and smiling. Obviously if the restaurant gets busy then i'm the one to seat the people and hand them over to the waitors and waitresses, where i can say, "here.. you deal with their shit". Oh and of coarse im not gonna tell you which restaurant.

Besides that i'm off to a braai after work. Two actually. I told both that i'd try make an appearance at both. The one braai will consist of old school mates of mine, through matric. Well some of them at least. Others may just be a 'friend' because they're part of the group and is actually a friend with somebody else in the group. Get the idea? I'm sure you do.
Anyway, i'm sure it's going to be good, considering i havent seen some of them in a while. To be honest with you, there are one or two that i'm praying won't be there. They always seem to be so fake and i really don't have time for that. Moving on...

A couple of us are organising a 21st birthday but as a surprise. Her parents don't really have much money to have a huge party so a couple of us are trying to organise. Well, im just helping out a little bit where i can. The theme everyone has agreed on is 'You'l never see me wearing that again!' Well... cant remember the exact phrase but its along those lines. At least you get to use your imagination;)

Tomorrow i'm leaving to spend a week in the berg which will hopefully be awesome and not an anticlimax. We're coming back next friday. I'm going with a couple of friends of mine. It'l really be great going away cause i haven't been away in ages. That means.. i'm going to be a little bit delayed with my blogs obviously. But i'l keep you updated when i get back.

Anyway.. that's it fot now but il try my best to let you know how the braai goes or try write again a little later...

Frikkin blog!...

2007-01-17T14:10:00.000-08:00

Aaargh... oh my it must have taken me like half an hour to log onto my sight!
No.. i didn't forget my password!

Anyway... now that i've just about torn away half my french gel overlays, i'm going to begin this blog by telling you how my day was. May i just add that gel overlays become rather expensive if you consider having them done religiously. It appears to be such a luxury when the first appointment is booked, but once the cash starts running low, a plan B is essentail! For me this would simply mean slapping on that dark nailpolish. So if you see me wearing that dark nailpolish.. you know! Well, i've been having my nails done for about a year now. That means, my overal expenses on nails for a year would have been roughly R1600. Thats if i go once a month, but there have been occasions where i would have to go every third week, as my nails simply couldn't cope a whole month in my stressful environments and conditions e.g. exam times or breaking up with an ex!

Ya ok ...about my day.. Well it was a really mellow day and i seemed to enjoy just loathing on the couch, watching one or two movies, with a mug of 'weighless hot chocolate lite' in my hand. I must say i rarely watch t.v. so this became a luxury to me. I began a somewhat beautiful rainy day by watching a documentary on the 9/11 with George W.Bush. I was rather amused listening to George W.Bush preach those wise words of wisdom..."fool me once, shame on...uh..umm"(silence) I must say i had a good chuckle!
Moving on.. i watched a movie today of these three friends, hitting the road with the intentions of going on a road trip. What was intended to be a group of friends just having fun, lead to be a disaster. The movie takes one through the journey of love, betrayel, drugs and even death. I'm not going to tell you the whole story but i do recommend it. (i did however miss the first 10minutes) I think the movie is called 'Simple Plans' but i'l keep you updated about that and will confirm.
With much motivation required, i found myself sitting in the Wednesday night spinning class. Im still pretty stiff from taibo last night so i had to cringe and moan a couple of times. Then i pretty much spent the night in. It was a real mellow, lazy day but what the hell.. i am on holiday:)

I then received a couple of smses from my friend i haven't seen in a while. Actually, he's pretty much my 'flirting buddy':) Ever had one of those? You can say anything and everything and you know it wont jeopordize your friendship in any way.(ok so there are limits, but work with me on this one) Ok so there is some form of attraction but i think you have to discipline yourself every once in a while. I mean, i've known this guy for nearly 5years now, but i think i've seen him like twice a year. Everytime we get together, it's like we have the best times together and it's like we know each other backwards...oh my GOSH! That sounds so cliche...sorry! Anyway.. chatted to him a little tonight and we keen to see each other again (although, we always say that)!Will keep you updated bout that. Anyway, he is pretty cute:)

Well.. im gonna leave it there for now. You see.. i only got to bed at frikkin 4am and i have no idea why?!?! So annoying! It's not like i woke up spontaneously! I actually lay there stairing at my ceiling. So now i'm going to go annd crawl into bed (after another cup of that 'weighless hot chocolate lite')
Hey, i think i'm getting the hang of this now.. Just hope i didnt bore you too much?!
If i did then i'm sorry.... but then why read the frikkin blog? I mean you got this far didnt you? No seriously, thanks man!

Sweet dreams*
Mwah*

It has to start somewhere...

2007-01-16T13:46:00.000-08:00

So here i am writing my very first blog. I know the first blog should actually consist of an introductory paragraph or self evaluation of 'who i am' but firstly that would bore everybody that happened to so accidently stumble across my site, secondly i really dont think i know myself well enough to provide you with a self evaluation and thirdly i really don't have the effort or motivation to write one out:) I guess you'l get to learn more about me through the next couple of blogs! Yay.. how exciting!

I can start off by saying that i'm 20years old (turning 21 this year). I really dont know why i always add that last bit when people ask me. I guess it's suppose to make me feel older:) I don't know why because the older you get, the more you wished you were younger. Anyway... sorry, going off the topic! I'l add a little picture or something to this site, so i don't have to create any false images of me in your head. (My name's Claire by the way)

I'm at UKZN varsity studying Bachelor of Communication Pathology- Audiology.(huh???- ok i get that response often so for those of you who don't know what that entails, it's basically a degree in health science. It consists of speech therapy, sign language, installing hearing aids, detecting any hearing losses or even any physiological abnormalities regarding the hearing mechanism.....Ok im sorry... That sounds really boring and you probably going blah blah blah... so onto the next thing! Oh sorry, along that note, may i just add that we actually get to go into surgery and work with a neurologist on the brain. Thats cool i think... Moving on...

I stay at home with my parents and my brother. My brother's the one that actually mentioned this whole blogging idea to me cause he has a site himself.....yes ok his site is www.markfouche.blogspot.com .Along that line, i have to mention that my friend Kev also needs a little bit of credit, seeing as he was the one that nudged me that little bit further to starting up this site. So check his site out too at www.boredkevin.blogspot.com .Wow, they must be really special cause their sites get mentioned on my FIRST blog! Ok who am i kidding.. you probably came across their blogs before! Off the topic again..

Ok so i'l touch on a couple of my interests but i promise i won't get carried away!
I love fashion, designers, jewellery,makeup and shoes. My finger is constantly hitting the fashion channel, as i reach for the remote. I'm intrigued with not only the close but the finest details including makeup artists and hair designers. This became a career choice i had to make, after leaving matric. After much contemplation i came to the conclusion that audiology was going to be it and that i'l follow that path,once i have the degree behind me. It was the safer option, as the fashion industry demands excellence. On that note.. i'm going to take a little time off to travel after my degree. Or even a holiday around Europe or something. Cool hey!What's even more exciting is that i've never been overseas before or even on a PLANe! (aaagh shame...let me hear it) So thats going to be exciting cause i wouldnt even know where to begin or even what to do!

On the minor scales, i enjoy exercise. This may consist of a high sweat spinning or taibo class, concluding the evening with a few light weights. This is often recommended by those personal trainers that promise 'those great abbs and beautiful tone you've always wanted'.
I must say that i do try, but not all of us can pull off the same sexy body Jessica Alba carries around everywhere! And i LOVE surfing, even though i can't surf to save my life:( I guess it's just the frolicking in the waves that keeps me going back:)

I'm gonna leave it there for now i guess. Wouldn't want to bore you (i'm even boring myself here! It feels like i'm in primary school, writing an essay for my teacher here!)
I'm going to keep you updated with my life and let you into a little more of who i am very soon ok?! So just keep reading my blog site! (oh wait... i don't have any readers yet-aaaargh...man...)

Anyway.. gonna go sleep now!
