Yay! My sis Called from wherever, she's supposed to be at the gym, but didn't sound like it when she called. She said to get ready. We're all going to EastGate mall around 2!
Maybe I'll buy myself a second 2TB hard drive at Game (massdiscount store) in Eastgate if they're still on special. Asa promised to get me movies and stuff from her friends from work. We look forward to that!
How I wish I could upload pictured onto my blog frm my blackberry! Maybe later! When I have time on the PC. I'll edit all my entries and make my blog nice and nice :D

As the world turns
As time goes by. It's nearing month end. According to my plans, and mine only! I'd planned to have sold out all my household stuff and leave Johannesburg by the end of the month for the Eastern cape to see my family one more time before Georgia. Stay there for about a week and then, visit my sis and her hubby for a few days before leaving the country!
I may have mentioned that those were my plans.
Most of my furniture is still in tact at my place, I've even pressurised my friend, Asa, to collect the stuff she's buying ASAP, she can pay me later, just so I can have the feeling I'm LEAVING! my other friend should come through tomorrow to pick the TV up. My most expensive household item! When thay and the massive kingsize bed are gone, it'll at least look like I'm working on something.
Of course, there's the dreaded final result that nobody knows when to expect. Hopefully I'll learn that by the end of next week. So that when I officially move out of my apartment, I'll have my bags backed and start maneuvering toward the rest of my plans. Withough knowing what's what, I'm bummed. I walk around like I lost my wallet.
I hate feeling this way:(

Loftus Stadium, Pretoria
My casting agent sent me a text yesterday. He said they need extras for a Rugby shoot, next Tuesday at Loftus. I said sure, I'm so in! He said he'll come back to be to confirm. But for the time being, he sent our pictures through to the casting director!
Hold thumbs!
It's quite far, but I never say no to a job! My fellow Extra, and BBM contact AND fellow lover of the song Hallelujah got the text. She wants us to club up and use one car to save petrol (gas). Hopefully we'll both book the job.

Georgia 1) new arrival date; 2) new contract
That was the subject on the lates email I got from the employment agent. Sigh!
I've yet to receive my results. Apprently the contract has been revised. I had to (RE-) sign it, scan and email it back to them. You can imagine how motivating this must be for someone who doesn't work from an office or as really employed. To have to pay the internet cafe, everytime there's a new detail on the contract. Especially when I still don't know if I've been accepted or not. Really exciting!
I believe they've technical issues over in GE. We hope and pray for the best!

Renault Print Advertisement
I got a call from my casting agent and he told me I've been booked for a Renault Print Ad. Exciting stuff. Then he called and asked me what my hair is like because they liked my hair in my portfolio. Dreadlocks! That I cut off 2years ago! I've been meaning to change my portfolio pictures for months! Ah well! It still would've been tricky considering I change my hair style quite frequently.
I've had to go to the salon and have fake dreads planted and hope for the best.
The shoot's supposed to be this afternoon. I got a call yesterday afternoon and was informed that it's been moved to next Wednesday. Hopefully, it won't be moved again, until such time that I can't make it. I don't particularly like this hairstyle and my scalp hurts like hell. I hardly slept last night! I'm glad the shoot has been moved, for that reason. I should be fine soon. I should sleep well tonight. *hold thumbs*

Men, Affairs and Sex.
I got this sent to me via email and thought I'd share it. Do you agree:
1. Most Men cannot have sex exclusively with just one woman, for the rest of their lives.
2. Men are created with varied sexual appetite,some men can do without sex for a year, others cannot do without sex for a week
3. A man who's madly in love with one woman can still have sex with other women but still love his 'woman'.
4. Some of the best husbands have concubines or mistresses, these extra marital affairs play a role in keeping the man sane and free of sexual tensions, especially during mid-life crises.
5. If your man is just having sex with some sweet sexy teen or babe, DO NOT WORRY. But, if your man starts making midnight calls and exchanging text messages with another lady at odd hours, BE VERY WORRIED.
6. Before you choose your man, ensure he believes in AIDs, STDs and protected sex. That way, chances are that he will not bring HIV and other STDs into your life.
7. Most chronic wife beaters are faithful husbands, they hardly have extramarital affairs.
8. Most 'extra' loving husbands have concubines, these concubines keep the man abreast on new ways of making women happy.
9. Your man's mistress or concubine is most times not interested in you or your home. She has already seen your pictures and those of your kids via your hubby’s phone. She and your hubby just have a sexual understanding or partnership which helps both deal with peculiar individual issues.
10. As a woman, if you go all out in a bid to catch your husband red-handed cheating, you WILL succeed. Then what next? If U listen hard to your domestic servants in their private discussions, U will certainly hear them insult you, so why listen?
11. Judge your man by his responsibilities towards you and the kids, and NOT by who he's giving 'doggie style' to in the office.

One month to go?
That's if I'll get accepted in GE. I'm still on that positive thinking spree of mine;).
I don't know what happens to the time at my sisters, but Gosh, does it fly! I copied some movies frm my sis Pru and have kept them with me for almost a week now. I just can't get myself to the post office to mail the USB. It's pathetic because she mailed me something after I'd already copied the movies and I believe it'll be here today. Which means I've got to post her stuff when collecting the parcel.
Yesterday, I cried! Just kidding! But have you read that book by Iyanla Vanzant? If not, you should! It's an great page turner autobiography. And boy does it make you cry as well!
Back to yesterday! I ended up cooking tripe! For the first time EVER! That thing took 5hrs to cook! Count them! FIVE! I also made dumplings with it FOR THE FIRS TIME:). The dish came out so well, I was super psyched with myself. Compliments didn't hurt either!
What was meant to be lunch, ended up being early dinner. Seemingly my pms has come to an end because I didn't crave weird stuff anymore. Whoopie! I know I talk a lot about pms, but it's a huge deal with me. I've one of THOSE!
I got an email frm the agent stating Georgia is reviewing my application and they wanted to know if I can move my departure date frm 15th to the 7th. I had to politely decline because there's still so much for me to sort out and sell and I still have to visit the family before I leave. I need time for all that. As it is I've only got less than a mnth left. If they can confirm already! I'd be the happiest man alive! (Yeah I said it! Man ;) ).
My sis is going back to work today, after 3 to 4 weeks away because of her illness. Hopefully it's going to be a nice, stress free day for her. Tomorrow's a public holiday! You've got to love South Africa for those! Which means, she'll get a day off and then back to work for 2more, then weekend. Which is not so bad.
My plans for today, are going to the post office to post the said USB. My niece will relax my hair :D. And I'll probably go to the internet cafe to hang out or something.
My friend said she'll come through on Saturday to collect the TV, which means I've to do the massage with my no.1 client on Friday. Hopefully it will be the last time this year. Not because I'm over him, but because I need to not be here for a while:).
My room mate as also asked for some prices, hopefully she'll take some big items and reduce the load for me.
This is such a hectic time for me, I tell ya!

Easy like Sunday Morning
Monday, 16 May 2010
Yesterday was a relaxed day. I literally spent the whole day in 'bed' in my night dress. I didn't feel like doing anything. And I didn't. I wasn't down, just tired.
I watched about 30mins of smart people, you know the movie I've been trying to watch for about a week now?
I had cheese sandwitched for lunch. Whole wheat. I haven't had that in a while and I love me some cheese when I pms. For dinner my niece cooked rice, vegies and chicken. It was a lovely surprised because it was cold out and I was watching a movie chatting to my sis on my blackberry and boom, dinner! Nice!
Only thing is, the meat was uncooked! Yup, not half done, or any of that. It was rare! And still frozen lmao. Shame, she was so embarrassed. I just thought that was hilarious considering she cooked since her teenage years and is now in her early twenties.
Anyway, she microwaved the chicken and gave it back to us. Salt free! But I wasn't about to embarrass her anymore, I just ate it and enjoyed it for what it wad: cooked chicken.
We watched The holiday! A movie I'd always wanted to watch. I have such a crush on Jude law, he's cute:) and the british accent doesn't hurt.
I loved that and should so get myself that movie. Just so I can watch it over and over again.
I slept just after the movie and slept through the night until 5:30am. That's what time I awoke. About an hour later, I got up, cleaned my 'bedroom' and the kitchen. Had breakfast: all bran flakes and cold milk.
I listened to some music. Cleaned the rest of the flat. I'm done now, chilling on the couch, browsing the net for a Georgian blog that'll catch my eye. I'd like to cook, but I don't know what to make. My sis bought 'binnegoed' over the weekend (that's the insides of an animal. I'm not sure which one). I've never cooked that before, so I don't want to mess it up for everyone.
Maybe I'll just cook samp and beans or something quick, because I'm kind of hungry as we speak.
I was supposed to go meet Cash Converters people at my place this morning at ten but postpones because my friends promised to buy my stuff and if they do, I won't need to sell it for close to nothing at cash converters.
Ok, let me go cook!

Georgian Maybe Time
Blogger has been down for the past few days. Which is great cos I so wanted to post stuff as it happened. Now I'm not there anymore.
It's Sunday morning.
Thursday, I got yet another email that my massage boss' reference letter will not be "strong enough" for a teaching position in Georgia. The headache started all over again. I emailed my former manager in Durban, he didn't return my mail. Friday, I tried one more time to contact the references in my cv and after some hard-to-get, one of my former managers, the one that had not returrned my email, sent me a very good reference to my email. I was so excited to have finally got it, I kept going over it. Instead of forwarding to the agent. I eventually did, in the evening. It was, after all, the time that they'd be at the office, time difference, considered.
She was so excited as well! She has since forwarded all my stuff through to Georgia and we're now waiting for the final result which she will tell me as soon as she receives.
What could go wrong now? Please tell me, this is it!
Friday night I went to bed relieved, having finally, sent all my paperwork through, can you say 'whew!'?
I also got a call that we'd be going on another road trip Saturday. This time to the Vaal triangle. My sis got pd, we went grocery shopping with her and my nephew. That was a fun trip as well. At night, we had kfc and desert. Which helps what with my pms induced large appetite for all things greasy. We tried to watch a bit of the movie Smart people with Dennis Quaid. We ended up talking about life and things. Went to bed around 12pm.
Yesterday, I was up at 4. Soon after that my nephew came home with a friend. Made some food, played some music in his room and chatted a bit. I dozed off around 5. At 5:10, the alarm went off. Grrrrrr! I got ready and we left. Not after we had to know on people's doors, trying to get them to move their cars as they had parked my sis in. She dropped me off. I changed into a dirty white t shirt, which I later had to change into something else for that reason, and a black skirt, took my massage stuff, hopped into my car and left for where I was to meet the gang. I did, we waited for another chick for about 15 and left for the vaal. An hour later, we arrived at this beautiful guest house, which has the Vaal river as it's back yard. It was amazing! And freezing cols. I gave 3X30min back massages a hand massage and a long foot massage. The massage was long, not the foot! ;)
We then left. My colleague said she'd buy my massage when I leave (hopefully I will leave for Ge). She also wants to come over to my place and view my stuff to see what else she can take.
Asanda, an old friend of mine frm the AA came over fto view stuff and it's nice to know she'll take some stuff. The big stuff, most importantly. I've just gotta sell my sleeper couch and ottoman now, the rest are nick nacks. Hopefully cash converters will buy the rest.
My sis came to pick me up at mine. I drove home, dropped my friend at a taxi on the way, and home we went.
I had samoosa's for dinner and a slice of cheese;).
My sis and her son had an explosive dramatic session, I freaked out and eventually fell asleep more than an hour later. Around 11.
I've been up since 4:30. I haven't got any plans for the day, but for some reason, I just keep getting up at these ungodly hrs!
There's an audition going on in town since yesterday. It's for a show called dybo (dance your butt off) inspired by the american dance your ass off dance show for fat people who literally dance their weight off.
I've always wanted to be a part of that show, but now, I'm not up to waiting in queues and auditioning only to have to go to Georgia in less than a mnth. My family says I should audition anyway, I don't know. The other discouraging factor is that it's an open casting. Which means anyone can go. Imagine the queues! It would've been nice if they did the first casting online and did call backs in person.
My nephew waltzed in at 5 today, with 2friends. The friend from yesterday and a chick. He cooked some food in the microwave, they chilled a bit. Now they're out, walking the girl to res. My niece is out. She went to a funeral Friday afternoon (her friend's aunt's). I believe she'll be back today. My sis is in her room sleeping, I suppose. I'm on the couch in the lounge, listening to the most annoying sound of a plumbing hick up coming from the toilet. Maybe I'll watch the rest or atleast a bit of smart people. I don't know why I'm so sleepy! Could it be because I just had a slab of choc? Chocolate makes me sleepy.
I just got an email frm Ayanda, my friend from Durban. She wants to celebrate her birthday this side (Joburg) in October, she wanted to to let me know. Hopefully I'll be (freezing my hinds off) in Georgia by then!
