Weekend Notes

Since we last spoke, Germany lost their match against Italy and I was left utterly dismayed, and perhaps even heartbroken - especially when the whistle was blown and the germans team members looked crestfallen. Mesut Ozil (I don't have a fancy keyboard so I can't put the two dots on the "O" unless I am being technologically illiterate) sat on the field, hands in his head. That broke my heart (maybe because I have a little crush on him and I don't care who judges me.) However, as a german friend of mine commented, (a german friend who does not support germany - TRAITOR) "they are confident in themselves but graceful in defeat". They really are a beautiful team and they fought hard. Hopefully we will see them defeat Portugal, and land themselves in third place...

Today I am going to the Lion and Cheetah park. I can't actually remember if I have ever gone there before, but either way, it will be an experience and is also something that I can make a part of Project Joburg. We're staying overnight, and it's for a friend's eighteenth - ain't no average day visit!

Until I am reunited with my Macbook, I will leave you with a couple of blogs that belong to a couple of my friends. I am always stunned by the extent to which my friends are remarkable writers.

Lemon Drops and Lingerie - the new blog belonging to our very own, Busang Senne. She is a fashion-ista, cynical but aiming to be not-so-dark, writing-enthusiast with a crush on Alexa Chung and a dream to be a top journalist. I have no doubt that she will be the best of the best.

Automatic For The People - by Lara Unsworth. Lara and I weren't friends until late last year. It all started when I wanted to delete twitter for exam-purposes and wanting to be completely focused, when Lara told me not to - such a bad influence. It didn't take long for us to become really close. She is one of the funniest people I know. She has such high inspirations and such a beautiful heart, even when she is ... expressing ... the delights of her hangover into every bathroom in my house - we love ya, baby!

With the reluctant decision to love and leave you beauties, I will be back with more stories of Africa.

Lazy Days

I only started holidays last Friday (okay - technically I started the Friday before that, but I still had to return to the place that shall not be named for one day for winter school. Uhm... hello? WINTER SCHOOL?) and I am already sick.

I was getting very emotional today and after some grease ball of a human being made me angry on the road, I resigned myself to my bed. My mom brought me Berocca (ew - but it had to be done) and salt and vinegar chips to indulge in. I plan to stay like this for the rest of the day, not moving in any kind of way but to tap at my Mac's keyboard.

Not much has been going on lately, because, as mentioned, it is holidays.

I'm wearing my German football top as they are playing tonight against Italy. I will cry real (manly sporting) tears if they mess up in any way, causing them to lose. Actually, I'll also cry such tears if they win. I believe the latter will happen.

Look at the World A Little Differently

I just found this YouTube video via another blog I read and I thought it to be one of the greatest things I have ever seen. Coca Cola never fail to impress.
