Today’s dreamers are tomorrow’s achievers

I have this poster in my room that has this quote. We all have different dreams as to how we want our lives to turn out, and in most cases it never turns out the way in which we want it to, but it’s not how you start, but how you finish.

Dreams and visions play a huge role in the idea of how you want you life to turn out, and we must be the ones to live out our dreams and not for others to live out ours.

It is okay for people to disagree with your dream, but at the end of the day, it’s your dream, so other people shouldn’t matter.

Let’s dream so we can live.

Trends

When summer does decide to grace Cape Town with its presence, women should invest on making their toe nails pretty.

It is an ancient Egyptian trend that used to symbolise social order. Red for higher ranked and pale colours for lower ranked females.

Whether it is that you go for a pedicure or use nail varnish, your toe nails need to be looking proper when you wear gladiators or sandals. This means that your nail polish shouldn’t be chipped if you are going to be wearing nail polish.

Colour is always good trend for the summer, but not your pearly colours. Blues, purples and pinks have become in and also shocking colours.

It is always a good thing to make a statement when sporting a new nail colour, so women should do that for summer.

Magazines

Lately, when buying magazines and publications has become a difficult task and a waste of money. It is a waste of money because after purchasing the magazine you will find that there is nothing interesting to get out of all those glossy pages.

The magazines just contain fashion spreads and not enough balance between the two of fashion and news worthy articles. Target markets are then blurred and the content may not appeal to everyone who may like the publication.

The way i see it, sex and fashion sells magazines and all the other content is just there to fill up the magazine, because most people just page through the magazine for one day and it ends up lying there and all you do is collect more and more and more.

There needs to be a balance of the content in a magazine.

Opportunities

It is true when they say ‘when one door closes, another opens’ I feel that this is happening in my life. I’m now done with school (I hope), I haven’t entered the field of Public Relations and I am super keen to get into it.

I have made that decision to start fresh and to quit my current job and relocate to Joburg. It is a decision that I have been toying with in my mind for the longest time, and decided to take the leap of faith and to go.

Yes, I stress about how things will be like when I get there as I would have to get used to the way of life there, but I have a great support structure in Joburg.

Missing all the fun

South Africa had the opportunity to see many international artists coming to our shores and having a concert in the big cities. One of those acts was Coldplay.

I am very bleak that I missed out on that concert, because i got there too late to get tickets, and then only to find out that everyone I know was going to be there. A friend of mine even went as far as bbming me the whole time before the concert on the atmosphere in the stadium.

Still heartbroken about not being able to go the concert, but I’ll live. I still will jam to the albums i have of theirs, as that is the next best thing.

Summer not

So its November, exam time, the preparation for the December holidays in full swing, but the only thing that’s missing is Cape Town’s good summer weather. It is actually the weirdest thing ever because it has been raining, miserable and just not enough sun.

Joburg people are having the complete opposite; they are having heat waves, where their summers have summer rain.

This is definitely a sign of global warming, because the weather patterns have gone crazy.

It was even hailing the other day in November... I didn’t even see any hail during the winter months!

Maybe the weather will co operate once I’m done with school... then its summer vibes all the way. Can’t wait.

Ipad vibes

As the world becomes more technologically bound, and the need to make life more convenient through technology, the creation of new products are done so at a rapid rate.

I had a chance to play with the ipad the other day... it was an interesting experience. I’m not really into these gadgets and what not, but having a chance to play with the ipad tablet, made me sold on the idea to get one.

Its small and it doesn’t weigh that much, it also operates on a touch screen. This may be nice in the beginning, but I’m not a huge fan of touch screens.

Overall the ipad is a great toy, and I’m sure the rest of the applications that come with it are number one.

I’m considering getting one after fiddling with it for a day.
