Day
25: Something someone told you about yourself that you'll
never forget (good or bad)
Just the other day, a complete stranger called me beautiful.
To be honest, before that, I don't remember being called beautiful EVER!
P.S. Happy New Year's Eve!

Bugeting
Day
23: Things you've learned that school won't
teach you
I've learnt, since working, on how to budget on a *cough* low salary *cough* in order to be able to:
a) Pay your parents board for living at home (since you can't afford to rent or get your own place)
b) Buy stuff you'll want/need,
c) Save for emergencies,
d) Save for travels, and
e) Still have an attempt of a social life.
In school you think you'll land up with a good job and will be able to do things. When you land up with a job that doesnt pay well...you work a way to budget on what you have.

Touche..
Day
22: Rant about something. Get up on your soapbox and tell us how you really
feel. (a pet peeve, a current event, a controversial topic, something your
husband or roommate or neighbor or boss does that really ticks you off)
Hmmmmm....where to start!?
I'm sick and tired of feeling like I'm being used both on a work level and a personal level.
I'm going to leave it at that...especially since I'm not sure who will read this blog...but I'm sure you could use your imagination!

I'm single... ...and hating it right now!
Day
20: Get real. Share something you're
struggling with right now.
I'm single and hating it right now. Every December, when it's my birthday, Christmas and, coming up, New Years Eve, I say: Well, I hope this is the last year I'm single.
Every FREAKING year.
I don't think people notice or do it purposely, but I find most 'events' that take place over December is always couples couples couples...or maybe I just notice it because most of my friends are married or in a relationship. It sucks to be honest especially this time of year (for me at least). There are days and months where I'm cool with being single and sometime thankful I am...but December is one month that I'm not. And God knows that and He knows I'm angry about it. He gets a lot of vent from me every December.
So there...something I'm struggling with!

A story....
Sorry...I forgot my password! *blush* But I'm back...
Day 18: Tell a story from your childhood. Dig deep and try to be descriptive about what you remember and how you felt.
I'm not sure how old I was, but I think 13, when I had the worse bicycle accident of my life.
I was in Port Elizabeth visiting my cousins as I did most summer holidays. My cousin and I decided to ride bike down the hill (they lived in a valley). It's always fun until someone get's hurt.
After some time, we decided to swap bikes...and I didn't know the brakes were opposite. So I went up the hill, got the clear from my cousin that no cars were coming and headed down. This bike went a bit faster than the one I had been on and I realised that I was going to hit a thorn tree, so I pulled the brakes...what I thought were the back breaks. The bike stopped dead. The handlebar digged into my abdomen and I went flying...over the thorn tree...and blacked out. I woke up with the dog licking my face and my cousin making his way down the hill slowly since I hadn't giving him the clear to come flying down.
It was a scary time, especially when I saw the blood coming through my shirt...but something we can laugh about now!
