"Loving you is easy because you are beautiful"

Its 12:55pm and because I cant sleep I have decided to blog, funny enough about love and why I continue to love whole heartedly and deeply even though I have had my heart broken so many times, one of the reasons I do so is because it’s a proven fact that Being loved is the primary need in all human beings, I feel that If I can make a difference in someone’s life being it a friend or a significant other my time spent on loving them was not wasted. Everyone needs to feel like they are needed or wanted and that they serve a purpose in someone else’s life.

I haven’t always loved wholeheartedly but I have come to the conclusion that there is more good in this world than there is bad and if I can spread a little bit of love wherever I go, hopefully I’ll be able to make a difference no matter how small in this big world by passing on kindness, generosity, selflessness and most of all a love toward other human beings (and animals hehehe)

There is a difference between like, in love & love. When you like someone you like them under certain conditions, you wouldn’t cross-oceans for them. When you are in love it’s usually just a glorification of a temporary infatuation, which usually turns into love. When you love some one there are no conditions applied.

We being human often mistake someone being there for us, for being in love with us, The truth is true & pure love will not leave you questioning it will consume every part of you like a raging fire. I think we become so needy for feeling loved we would accept any kindness toward us a symbol of love. I Have loved a few and thought that I was loved in return but I wasn’t I was just infatuated by having someone by my side that I started accepting it as “love. “When I look back now as strange as it might seem is that I’ve never found true love in a relationship with a significant other although I have definitely loved some with my whole heart.

Many are scared to love because of their pasts, I would lie if I said this did not apply to me, but I make sure that the fear is much smaller than the ability to being able to love another human. Everyone deserves a chance and there’s no use in comparing people because not a single one of us are alike in anyway.

When it comes to being in a relationship with a significant other, as much as I wish I had one I’m not ready to settle for anything less than someone who is going to set my soul on fire.

Behind the Scenes.

Ive finally decided to post something on my blog again. And this time it's about starting my own business and the background on all of it.

Many of you know I was planning to start my own company,Many thought I wouldn't actually go through with it, or many thought it's easier as I have my Dad by my side.

What I've learnt in the last couple of months is that very few will actually stand by you or ask how you are doing. I've moved away from so many people that once were very dear to my heart only because of their attitude toward me and my life.

Let me set a few things straight from the beginning starting your own company is not for the faint at heart. Im not a very anxious person but I have had two anxiety attacks from the stress of getting this business up and running. The second thing is yes my Dad has his own company but that doesn't make it any easier for me to start my own Company. So to be honest I've learnt that the only person who can make this work is myself.

I have friends who love to tell me about how its going with them at work and what they are busy with but in a way to try and talk down on me, to say that they are further in life than me, To those of you that have done this to me I want to say Thank you for showing me your loyalty toward our friendship and that I am happy for you..But I know now the people closest to you are the ones that hope you fail.
I am grateful for each and everyone of you because you motivate me, so well done!

There are a few true and real Gems in my life the ones that generally care and by reading all of this you should know which category applies to you. The friends that check up randomly and don't make every conversation about themselves. The ones that ask to go for coffee or the ones that care about my wellbeing and don't have the thought of me being a spoilt brat in their heads , these are the friends I truly cherish and appreciate.

I take my hat off to my Dad because I now know the nitty gritty that goes with starting your business, It really isn't easy and I'm glad that once again my dad will give me advice but yet leave me to do everything on my own and stand tall on my own feet.

So in case you were wondering, NO i did not run to "Daddy" for help or make it his responsibility to start my business.

If anything I have learnt who really cares and I'm grateful for those who do, i've also learnt that people want to see you do good but never better than them.

Hong Kong

Hong Kong, the city that wakes up late, where being thin is seen as beautiful, where some girls
have acceptance of themselves issues and where you can travel easily by having an octopus card.

Nicole and I have been planning to go to Hong Kong and Ireland since we have gotten back from our last overseas trip.

Nicole works as cabin crew for Commair.Ltd and therefore she can request rebate flights . We planned to leave Cape Town on the 30th November, But as it was holiday season the flight was fully booked and therefore we had to wait till the 1st of December to catch a flight out,unfortunately that flight was also overbooked therefore we did not fly the 1st of December either.

We instead went to a travel agent and booked the flight for the 2nd of December to Hong Kong and plans changed on the spur of the moment instead of going to Hong Kong & Ireland we just went to Hong Kong for 9 Days.

I will tell you a bit more about our experience and what we got up to on the other side of the world.

We landed in Hong Kong the 4th of December and we had our accommodation sorted as we have friends who now reside in Hong Kong, Bryanna & Kyall. They were so welcoming and showed us around on the first few days. Bryanna even made us detailed maps of the places to see to make it easier for us to get around when we went exploring on our own.

3rd December 2015

We arrived in Hong Kong got settled in at Bryanna & Kyall's flat ,the evening we took a ferry from Park Island to the City Cente and went for supper at a mexican restaurant called Agrave, That evening we just got settled in and were heavy jet lagged, I think Nicole and myself only went to bed at 3 in the morning because of the time difference.


4th December 2015
We had breakfast in the Village on Park Island, Eggs Benidict and Pineapple juice was the perfect way to start the day, we travelled to the women's market and tourist market where we did some shopping , we headed back to the city centre where we had a cocktail on a rooftop bar on one of the piers. The evening Bryanna had booked for us to go on a boat called the aqua luna which takes you around Hong Kong's harbour and show's off their skyline,it was the perfect time of year as all the big corporates had different christmas lights on which made the skyline stand out even more. We got dropped by the Symphony building where we watched the Symphony of lights, which displays the skylines building christmas lights,lighting up according to christmas tunes being played in the background. We had Mc Dees for supper. Before taking our ferry back to Park Island we went to a different rooftop bar and had one last drink and then called it a night.

5th December 2015

We went to a mall 10 minutes away in Tsing Yi and walked around there for a bit before having lunch  at a restaurant called so thai, so good and the name says it all it was the most amazing Thai food I have ever tasted , I PIGGED out a little bit I had prawns,ribs and homemade ice tea. The evening we met up with Bryanna & Kyall at Agrave for Kyall's rugby end of year event. It was Awesome , I met some South Africans that used to stay a stone throw away from where I am currently residing in Pinelands. We went back to the flat and Bryanns was generous enough to share her Rooibos tea white wine from South Africa , we sat up talking and snacking before heading off to bed.

6th December 2015
We headed off to Gough Street , this had to be one of my favorite places in Hong Kong ,we had lunch at a restaurant called classified and walked through the antique chinese market. The reason i loved Gough Street so much was because of the art on the walls and antiques that were sold at the market i felt in my element! The evening we went up with a tram to the Peak , where you overlook beautiful Hong Kong and we had supper at a restaurant called Bubba Shrimp , Dedicated to the movie forest Gump, They had a sign to stop the waitress that read Stop Forest, Stop and if you didn't require anything you could change the board to Run Forest Run. We all got drinking glasses from this restaurant as a keep sake.

7th December 2015

Nicole and I ventured out on our own to take a cable car up to Ngong Ping where the world famous big budha is situated , This place was absolutely breathtaking and worth the 500+ steps to get to the big budha. We spent the day there viewing the monasteries & the Budha statues.We had supper at Matsusaki, I had Spicy Beef Tepanyhaki and I'm not actually quiet sure anymore what Nicole ordered. The evening Bryanna and Kyall had barbecued pork and pineapple sausage and ribs for supper we had some wine and went to bed.

8th December 2015
 We slept!!! and had a chilled day,Bryanna and Kyall funny enough were heading to South Africa, we spent the day with them at the flat and the evening Nicole and I went to the Womans Market again just to browse around.

9th December 2015
 we headed off to a 14 story mall called Time's Square just to see how it looks as it is 14 stories high!!Nothing out of the ordinary it might be 14 stories high but the building is very narrow therefore it is not even the equivalent to Canal Walk,we didnt buy much but we walked around got some supper and caught the next train back from some random train station we had never been at before.We spent the evening realizing as we knew the next two days were going to be insanely busy.

10th December 2015
Rise and shine sunshine!! And we set off to Ocean Park. to get to ocean park it took a half an hour ferry ride to the City Centre and from the City Centre we had to take about a 45min long bus drive to get to Ocean Park. Ocean park is a theme park which is set up next to the ocean which includes many carnival and thrill seeking rides for all ages to enjoy. There were many animals to see and many rides to go on. Hong Kong is efficient with time they would say its 30 minutes to wait when in actual fact it takes 5 minutes to get on a ride. We had butter chicken for lunch and grabbed some supper on our way back to Bryanna and Kyall's flat.

11th December 2015
The last day of the trip and what better way than to have spent it at Hong Kong Disney Land. We set off bright and early to catch a train to Disney Land and spent the entire day there basically made the most of out time by going on almost every single grown up ride available and watching a 4D show.  we had waffles in the shape of mickey mouse and even bought the flashing ears to make it a real Disney Experience. I have now been to Disney Land in America, Paris and Hong Kong!! fortunate to say the least? The evening of the 11th we packed and this time around my bag weighed 2kg under the weight limit I was relieved. Off to bed we went.

12th of December
We headed to the mall for the last time ,bought some make up and some breakfast before fetching our bags at the flat before heading to the airport to catch our flight back home.

That is Hong Kong in a Nutshell.
