birthday weekend recap!
>> Dec 22, 2008
so Friday was my ....BIRTHDAY!!! yaaay and now im officially 24 years old *shock horror gasp!* haha. i woke up at 03:15 (not because of overwhelming excitement to get older) so i could be on time to catch my 05:55 flight to Durban aka HOME!
after a 40mintue drive to the airport, praying constantly that i wouldn't get lost, i made it there with enough time to spare... so i sat in the waiting area and eagerly started reading the first
pages of new moon! yes, i bought it the night before... didnt have the patience to see if my sister had caught on to my hints of me really wanting it for my birthday.haha.
got onto the plane with the intention of continuing to satisfy my edward cullen addiction, only to realise that my exhausted body had other plans :) i fell asleep while the airhostess was explaining the emergency procedures and woke up to the sound of the Captain saying: "we will be landing in 6minutes".... cars, planes - if im not behind the wheel, the motion puts me right to sleep!
when i got home, my super cute madre had bought me a really pretty dress and a voucher for shopping time with her :) so, we chatted till around 10:00 and went to town! i love factory shopping, because you get really really great deals on awesome stuff...so i got a couple summer dresses (loving them at the moment!) & shoes ofcourse.
3 hours later the heat was just too unbearable, so we cut the shopping spree short & headed home so she could run errands and i could take a well-deserved nap.
nicole (d'almaine) then came over and we went to find a birthday cake (long story) & she took me to a really nice tea garden up in hillcrest. got home aroud 4pm, played with Zigi, had a dip in the pool...forgot to eat dinner, chatted endlessly on the phone to my WONDERFUL FRIENDS who called for my day... and went to bed :)
i felt so much love :) got alot of yummy gifts & cute texts... it was a GREAT day.
saturday was my day for 'birthday cake @ the beach' with all my friends. we met up at 09:00 (well they were all there & i was running late.haha) and it was so hot that the cakes melted on the way to Suncoast, but they sang and we ate and ate! the day was beautiful..okay maybe a little tooooo hot, but the company was great.
after noon i met with catherine for our 'triple movie day!'...so much fun & exhausting.haha.
we saw twilight (it came out on my birthday -woot woot) and i liked it...but didnt love it sadly. it looked like a budget movie & it didnt quite connect well for me :( but nonetheless, i liked it and would watch it again! edward cullen was beautiful (that actor -robert pattinson-is going to have stalkers after him - guaranteed) they did a REALLY good job casting him!
then we watched 'wild child' - one of your typical teenage movies that require no brain activity in order to enjoy :)
then, we saw 'the women'...which i surprisingly REALLY enjoyed! can't explain it, but it hit a cord with me - made me think about my lifes direction more introspectively & i guess well just -think-
the day ended at around 22:00, i drove home with edward's smile in my head and fell peacefully asleep.hahaha. i have NEVER been so drawn to a book as i have twilight...not good for my health i tell you. im almost afraid to keep reading 'new moon' because i know im a little addicted & don't want it to end too soon. yes, i know im crazy...but have YOU read the series??
im back in joburg now, back to work - or the office rather, cause there's NO work to do. im at my sisters place right now (with my mom) because i got so bored at the office. just became unbearable so i left at around 2pm.
