I have always wanted to travel the world, but never knew where I would start. When a job offer to go to the UAE for two years came through, I packed my bags jumped on a plane and here I am....I am a very open person, and believe life is what you make it, as cliche as it sounds..I take an interest in many things, some of which people may be surrpised, but knowledge is addictive and I have an addictive personality. I enjoy just about everything, sportswise, life wise etc.
I would love to meet and make new friends, on this site and am so happy I have finally found a bloggin site..I am originally from Durban., South Africa!

Writers Block: For some days now, I have felt blog deprived, yet I have not been able to make enough sense of anything that’s happened lately to actually put it down on paper, or in words. I also have come to the conclusion that part of my writers block was caused by the fact that I started to think with the mentality of having to write something “good”, “entertaining” “generalized”. When in actually fact the entire point of this blog is the fact that I can write whatever the hell I want in any context I want and so what? So now I feel a lot better, I’m not trying to blog, I just am. So what’s news? Oh so much to tell and oh so many pictures to add. I FINALLY spent my off day ... read more

A birthday in Abu Dhabi…. Mine? No, it was my colleagues. There is actually so much to say and so much experienced that I have no idea where to start or how? So I will repeat the events in the order I remember them. Last night I got home at the usual time 23:00pm. I had promised my friends staying in the villa next to me, I’d go say hello after work no matter what time I finish. So after changing and getting dressed into my nice comfy non work clothes that exactly what I did. I walked over knocked on the door and as usual was greeted by smiles and welcomes and of course the sexy sight of my Spanish lover?? Hmm what are we? Anyways my Spanish superman, the Clark Kent of my world. ... read more

Hell NAW! Yeah a song and music video I stumbled upon yesterday by the artist Nelly, FT Ciara. Really get up and gp kinda video, and of course all about shoes, ha ha ha. Anyways on another topic I feel like Iv been kicked by a horse, run over by a truck, walked into a plank, fell off the bus, hit by a train and then been out in a kids pen covered in candy for three hours........thats how bad my hangover is! AAh, how it happened I dont know...( well technicially I do but would like to leave the impression I don't). And why I let it happen? nature only knows but NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN, this is too normal human beingish for me. This is the 1st hangover Iv had since I was ... read more

Oh, I wanna go home............ Ha ha ha, yes I must admit, I had one of those days, the day before yesterday. To the point where I did not mitch up at the office, and boy did I feel guilty. I did not rest the entire day, whether it was in between crying or loosing my temper, or just assuring myself I could go home when ever I wanted too, I still missed my collegues and my office. Gues this place has grown on me faster than expected. The thing with me, is when I knew I was moving again, there was absolutely no reaction what so ever, no tears, no fear, no nothing, just oh well another move. Growing up in the family I did moving was an every month occasion basically, I cannot ... read more

You say it best when you say nothing at all?????????? Personally, I've always thought that song more of an insult than an compliment. Why all the ladies fell for the " youre so stunning I just want to stare at you quietly thing" I dont know, its actually pretty creepy if you think of it that way. However the other side of it, is, hey ladies " we like it when you shut up?" Yeah so not a big fan of the lyrics to that song, however the tune is almost undeniably catchy. I have not written for the last two days ( I am remembering correctly), I have changed a schedule a little and am just adjusting I guess. Although I must report I managed to be a very good girl last night, I ... read more

Oh what a wonderful world: I cant remember, was that a stevie wonder song, or was there someone who sung it first? But more to the point, what a wonderful world. I am in such a good mood, heck I even came to work an hour early, this in the eyes of Nietchzie would not be an award winning achievemnent but for me, Im pretty proud lol. Its a beautiful day here in Abu Dhabi today, the sky is clear, the sea is a bluey-greeny-marooney- colour, the sun is out and bright, but not so bright you have to wear shades 24 7 ( which can get a lil annoying). The guests are all smiles and so am I:-) Last night, I got home to discover some washing I had done the night before was ... read more

Its my 2nd blog of the day, what? I cant help it okay, IM addicted to you ( no im not singing the kelly clarkson song). I just love chatting, and knowing somewhere someone is reading this and I hjave no idea what they're thinking, but I just love the fcat that they reading this. I am sitting now in my office, which at night is made up of a stunning view of the city, and lake (sea), you can hear the waves and the room my office is based in, has warm, colurs in design, so it really does have quite the affect on you. I am not to busy tonight, and had a good day, ended up at a staff party after my meeting with my supervisor, there was more food and cake there....not ... read more

Ahh..... Back at work. I feel wonderful, woke up this morning with a spring in my step, okay its more of a wobble ( need to gym) but either way things are still moving:-) Its a beautifu l day, the sun is out ( as usual ) the wind isn't freezing cold and everyones got a smile on their dial. I am training a new employee today which seems odd to me, especially because I myself have only been in this position less than two weeks, and there is still much I must learn. I intended to have a meeting with my superior today anyways, and will be discussing my further training and future. I think its just a case of lines being crossed somewhere and him having the impression they've sent me through the usual ... read more

Its, 02:09am in Abu Dhabi on Valentines day, an no I am not cuddelled up to anyone special, I am sitting in my friends room, while she sleeps and easy sleep thinking. It doesnt help my mood that Im listening to the likes of frank sinatra and so on, as this year ( once again ) I am alone and valentinesless! Why I figured because everything else has changed in my life this would too, I dont know. What I do know is being some one who doesnt usually believe in such industry marketed events I am still sad and lonely. Love? I think its not something we are supposed to understand, just feel, accept, experiance and live. And please lady and gents dont just show your love once a year to your other halves let ... read more
