The bitter winter

A warm welcome to everyone I know I would love one, the cold in Pretoria isn't getting any warmer in fact, it's now almost impossible to leave the house without a jacket. Along with that, the days are getting shorter, the work is getting heavier and the stress is increasing.

Hibernation is what is going on in most students lives at the moment, as they sit on their ass's and study study study, Good luck to anyone facing exams.

Have you ever, woken up and felt something the same compared to how you woke up on the previous day? Obviously its a new day, one thats never been lived before, a new millenium but, even still it could just be another thursday, so what? It was thursday 7 days ago, yet something dosen't feel right, It's maybe a little colder than before and the not so early morning feels quite, not that much light from the window, no noise of drive by cars, no footsteps of frustrated pedestrians, no loud cheerful voices of young girls, no whispering wind creating ca us to pamphlets on the walls. The room is still and lifeless. I have, I'v woken up to such things but unfortunately thats what happens sometimes.

I had an interesting conversation with a friend today, about secret passions. Mine is/was singing until I finally came out and told everyone, even still very little people have actually heard me sing it, my friends secret passion was song writing, I was shocked to hear how the two clicked and I loved how she told me this, I could see her face change as she got shy telling me she wrote music, I found it wonderful and she suggested I sing a song and she played it on the guitar, like an acoustic. I loved the idea I really do want to start doing something with this new ability and I really hope it does improve and I hope I can do something great with it one day.

Ohh, another flashback moment

So, upon updating my cellphone, filling in my tracks and music I ran across some really old photo albums and I couldn't stop smiling.  From slightly "Happy" times, Friends birthdays dinners, to over the coast travels, and all the way back to the weekend routine of going to parrties :)

The "BB"

Surprise!

Yes thats right I'm back on blogger finally!

Well, like most should know I'm back in Pretoria still adjusting to this cold front that keeps getting stronger and still trying to adapt to this new place which I must now call "Home".

I see that a lot of people have now been infected as what I'm describing as the BB (Blogger bug). People are blogging daily about just anything I'v seen just about anything on blogger now and I couldn't be happier I love se read about what people are thinking about and are sharing with the world and I respect those of you blogging about things that people are too scared to blog about (me included) but I do love to read what you have got to offer so give me your blogs and I WILL visit!

I had a funny night the other night, I was over at my neighbours house and we were doing the usualy, sitting around, watching tv, eating crips. It was around 19hrs.. When she comes up with the most Bizzare idea, she looked over at me and says : "Jess, let's go to the gym". Ok in that moment in time I was not mentally prepared for such things the gym wasn't the last thing on my mind, it wasn't ON my mind at ALL. I probably scared her by the look I gave her after she said that because it was a bit like how you find something rotton in your fridge and then feel the smell coming off right afterwards. I responded by saying : "Ummm no.." in a very confused tone, it was about half an hour later that she COMES BACK with this idea and says : "Come on Jess were paying for the gym and we hardly even go, lets just go it's winter were getting lazy and this is what happens everynight we sit on the couch eating chips". Now, I still was not processing all of this but, that last sentence she said really struck me plus, it reminded me of being very girlie and that "Girlie" moment must women face. "THE MIRRIOR MOMENT". The mirrior moment is when women finish taking a shower and of course go for the occational "Check" now, correct me if I'm wrong but, I can bet with ANY female that even the skinniest of boney models had looked in the mirror and said : "Uhhh i'm so fat". Well obiviously after saying all this, I fall guilty because I have. So we actually got up and went to the gym and ended our workout at the steam room. There is no better sensation to be described after entering a steam room, you feel 100x lighter, your skin feels 100x softer its amazing!

I definietly have gotton some insperation to visit the gym more often :)
