Always Believe in Yourself

Friday, July 24th, 2009 | Feelings, General+Life Stuff, Life Lesson, Opinion, Personal, Rants, Relationships, Tips / Learning, thoughts | No Comments

The world is filled with so many convincing, lying, story-telling, false people! Today was yet another reminder of how wary one should be of those who claim to be your friend, they act nice and behind your back, they talk crap about you.

Shame on my landlord’s husband for convincing her that I lost my keys and that he lent his to me. I have two sets of keys and two remote controls since the day I moved in here back in 2003.

So I rock up at their house as I was asked to go see them to check out the new lease and to swap remote controls but I just thought they needed my remote specifically as the remote has four buttons. She also mentioned in her email to me that they were short of one remote which led me to believe that they definitely needed a spare one to open and close the garage. I only use two of the buttons but the other two could possibly be linked to the garage for them to use.

Get there, and I am suddenly attacked › Continue reading

a delayed destination, a lunch and a dinner

Sunday, June 28th, 2009 | Celebration, Entertainment, Friendships, Fun, General+Life Stuff, Personal, food | No Comments

@ch00n’s car was being moody all weekend so we couldn’t go anywhere. Today we just HAD to do something about not having transport.  Like an angel, my landlord came down and suggested we go out for lunch – he drove.  We had to sit through a really torturous slow drive that normally takes us 15 minutes get to, but took us nearly 45 minutes today. Sigh, how we missed being mobile today.

What made it worse, there is construction taking place on almost all of Cape Town’s freeways. We were all hungry and decided it would be quicker to take the N1 highway to Pizza Grill King (PGK) in Goodwood. › Continue reading

washing the dishes

Sunday, June 14th, 2009 | Feelings, General+Life Stuff, Household, Life Lesson, Personal, food | 3 Comments

If there’s one household chore that is my pet hate, it’s doing the dishes.

I was chatting to a friend on-line telling him about how I spent most of my Saturday washing up my dishes;   I have already washed up three racks of dishes and there’s still more!!! also dried up those three racks full of dishes and packed it away. *proud moment*

Thank goodness it rained today, else I would have been out again and again not done the dishes. Or maybe it rained because I done the dishes?

Two great documentary releases, Zeitgeist: The Movie and Zeitgeist: Addendum, is currently screening at the Labia theatre in Cape Town.


As reviewed by the Labia theatre “…is the mind-blowing documentary by Peter Joseph, and is the most viewed motion picture on the internet …The award-winning movie takes a staggering look at the lies sold to the world via media, politicians, bankers and those standing to benefit.”

“Its follow-up, ZEITGEIST: ADDENDUM, focuses on the shocking truth behind the monetary system, and › Continue reading

what is your easter egg made of?

Friday, April 10th, 2009 | Education, General+Life Stuff, Health, Stirring, Tips / Learning | 2 Comments

A colleague offered me one of her chocolate marshmallow eggs the other day. I politely said thanks but rejected the offer as likely the ingredients would contain eggs and I am vegetarian.
Unconvinced, she starts to read the packaging to prove my point. Not long after that, “never mind the egg white, there’s bovine gelatin in here“; apparently I put her off eating marshmallow eggs now because of the bovine.

Do you know what Bovine Gelatin is?

in denial about my pants size

Sunday, January 25th, 2009 | General+Life Stuff, Life Lesson, Personal, Rants, Tips / Learning | No Comments

Went shopping today and found this lekker† three quarter pants that I wanted to buy.
My brain told me I’d fit into a size 32 waist but my heart wanted me to fit into the size 30 – so I took along both to try on in the changing rooms.
In the changing room, I bravely tried on the size 32 in the changing room. The zip wouldn’t close… › Continue reading

Just when you thought traffic is becoming a breeze in the mornings, you are normally hit with that one Monday morning, where everything is just pure chaos, and naturally you would be late for work on that one day and happen to have an important business meeting scheduled. › Continue reading

DONT be fooled by the word BARGAIN

Monday, January 5th, 2009 | General+Life Stuff, Personal, Rants, Relationships, Tips / Learning | 3 Comments

I went to Obs Holistic fair yesterday on a hunt for new pants .  So I came across these pants that I have looked at before when I was at the fair some months back. Point is they’re rare pants and they cost R140.

Usually I won’t go buy something just like that and would either save for it, think about it and go back another time to get it or forget about the pants until one day when I bump into it again. › Continue reading

Which party?

Wednesday, December 31st, 2008 | Celebration, Friendships, Fun, General+Life Stuff, Music Related Links, Opinion, Personal, Relationships | 2 Comments

My inbox rolling with party invites and reminders for events happening around Cape Town for New Years Eve.

What’s the big deal anyways?  I used to be big on the celebrating – guess I have outgrown that now.  I used to go to Synergy parties that used to be held at the River Club in Observatory. Those were fun parties.  Kinda like what Vortex is doing these days having Bands, Trance etc – many options not just one genre.

Synergy used to › Continue reading
