Happy Thursday!

Picture from: bing.com

Just like to say happy thursday to all, I have now acctually finallised a job, yes!, after waiting months for the visa and then applying for loads in past few weeks, have found one and all is agreed. So happy to have some money coming in, I really hope this one turns out well.

Things you did not know.....

Lilies and Grapes had a tag of one of these that she passed on to whom ever would like to do it, as I don't have much to say as life is bit boring now, I will write 10 things you did not know about me!

Anyone is welcome to do the same I "ten tag" who ever reads this.

1) I really dislike my name, it is strange and is celtic by origin, I am not even celtic, I was born and raised mostly in Hillcrest, RSA, and have been teased as my name was weird in school, everyone calls me Hari for short now, and I like that.

2) I love Martial Arts, I used to do Karate when I was little, well you had to back then as it was South Africa, lol. But I love to do it again, when I get some money coming in. I like the sound of doing Ninja or Kung Fu. Cool to be a kick-ass-girl.

3) I was a Tomboy, not a girly girl was I was younger, I dont like pink that much, nail polish pink is nice. Having two brothers who played rough probably did not help, and I get on so much more with guys than girls.

4) I love all things asian, I cannot explain it but I just do. I love the food, the culture, the way they do things, I would love to learn the language they have so many different variations. I love Anime too, prob as I like Art and it is quite artistic. I have a lot of asian friends I just seem to click better with them and they have been so genuine compared to flaky people.

5) I like to try things different, I have done rock climbing, snowboarding, spinning, fencing, salsa, I may be trying to make my own jewellery soon, will see.

6) I am trying to convince my fiance to take my last name, I would like to keep it to remember my grandfather who passed away last year, I do think of him quite often. Will keep trying.

7) Ok even though I have two maternal brothers, I feel like an only child, I do not speak to them , one is the black sheep, and the other has not grown up yet and is too big headed. So I have become very self dependant and do not mind relocation a million miles away. And I am fine with it.

8) I have an active imagination and daydream a lot, not when I am working though. lol.

9) I have a purebred seal point siamese kitten called Tiffany, she is the cutest thing ever, absolutly adore her and have always wanted a cat. Forced my fiance to agree, haha, and though he complains and does not do anything to take care of her, when she climbes on his lap and cuddles up, he loves it, lol.

10) I am engaged, but will not be having that big white wedding, its complicated, think a bad episode from The Bold and the Beautifull. Yes, believe it, it is funny, you just have to laugh. So an island on a beach is fine by me.

Gone with the wind.

Its August and the last month of winter here, though it is nice to wrap up warm and have occasional rain, I do miss the summers and being able to wear flip flops everyday, (lol and will not be calling them thongs in oz, as in the UK and RSA it really does meant something else). Here comes spring ya, I cant wait to go to the beach again. Winter has gone quickly though, and I have not even needed a scarf this season too! Winter in other countries is so different here, it seems like spring already.

A time for new things too, like maybe starting your own business as the employment market out there really is not good at all, I have not even found a job yet, so many competators, thinking of maybe changing to a different field too, some men can be real sexist here, I'm just used to being listened to.

What will you be doing in the new spring season?

xoxo

What a great weekend

Was a brilliant weekend, was my birthday on saturday, happy bday to me, did not think it would be any good as its hard to start again in another country, but it was great. My fiance took me shopping and spend the whole day together, I really enjoyed myself more than I thought I would. It is weird to think that I am a year older but I still feel the same as I did when i was 24, just turned 27, but am gratefull for a lot of things. I have a fiance who I love, never thought I would be getting married, have a gorgous kitten who is adorable always wanted one, living in a great place I love OZ, better than where I was before. Oh and just had confirmation that I can get a job now, again. So much better than sitting on the sofa doing nothing but cleaning, washing, hoovering and being at home. Im not really a housewife kind of person, I like to be earning money and contributing. So, yes its been a good weekend, and though I did not get a party or huge amount of gifts, I dont care as I am happy just where I am, and that probably comes with being 27, lol.

To those who read this, what did you do on the weekend?

The Hills

For those of you who watch THE HILLS series, which is so funny, absolutly hilarious how some people can be so stuck up and the waste of mommy and daddy's money on them, its just hilarious. Have to watch the clip, just gave me a smile for the morning.

I have watched 4 seasons of it, some may think I am bit nuts but was curious, and I must say after the 2nd season I was getting annoyed with them, lol, especially that Heidi girl, someone needs a wake up me thinks. But we need laughter in our life and thank our lucky stars we are not little rich girls who get their rocks off with their personal lives being broadcasted on TV.

Read it from a lovely blog Lilies and Grapes.

Coco Lee sale

There is a 7 day sale of 50% off at Coco Lee on True Religion Jeans, very nice indeed. Just though if anyone was interested would let you know. Me, I have enough Jeans even some I have to break in, and got addicted again to watching the latest episodes of Gossip Girl which my lovely fiance downloaded for moi. xoxo

The best balms so far....

After many years of lip balms, my personal opinion so far is Piz Buin Sun Lipstick which is amazing smells like vanilla, so moisurising and has SPF in it, great for oz. I discovered this in Superdrug in Uk before I left, and man I should have bought more. Even my other half is hooked and his has been used till the death, he will do his best to get every last scrap from the stick lol. Unfortunatly this is not sold in Australia so will have ask parents to send it over or buy from the website.

Equally good is newly discovered Yes To Carrots Lip Balm in Melon, mmmmm smell devine and very moisturising too, but no SPF, and quite small so can even fit snuggly in your purse! Good one for me as my bag is quite big and don't want to carry it around sometimes. Also this one has no chemicals, and is all natural products, very very good. So no chemicals on your precious lips. The other half likes this one too, but prefers the Piz Buin.

I would like to mention I did buy a mens brand from Myers that was on sale at xmas, me thinking its mens so he will like it, but not nice at all.
You can smell its sickly sweet, supposed to be vanilla but yuck, not moisturising at all and very chunky too. Will have to find the brand, but this will have to be used for something else, like moisturising elbows or something, not nice at all.
