<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I remember during matric when pressure was at breaking point meeting up with my friends for a 'study sesh' ended up being one, big fat laugh sesh. I'd say it was the therapy we all needed to let off a bit of steam and then head back to our books.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Laughing apparently has benefits of achieving a toned tummy, let's roll! </span><br />

It makes me want to say; 'calm down people, let's take it slow'. Don't get me wrong I love the festive season other than the packed shopping malls but my festive feeling can't really start in October, it's a tad early. What will be a bit different this year is that I'll be in Thailand up until 2 days before Christmas so who know maybe I'll miss the large gold, green and red balls hanging in the malls.</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Over the last couple of months I have been getting stuck
into trail running. It something I never would have thought I’d enjoy as much
as I do. The runners rush is indeed a reality. Sadly I have hurt my
(complicated name) muscle in my foot so have booked off by the Physiotherapist
to run for a while and I genuinely can’t wait to get back on the trail. For
someone who felt exercise was too sore this is a real revelation. This got me
thinking about one of my favourite little quotes - <span class="apple-style-span"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;">It's true we don't know
what we've got until</span></span><span class="apple-converted-space"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;"> </span></span></span><em><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; font-style: normal;">it’s gone</span></em><span class="apple-style-span"><span style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-color: white; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial;"><span style="float: none;">, but we don't know what we've been missing until

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Girls only schools can be a mean place to be. My brief
experience of a girls only primary school I would say, is likely to be my most harrowing
childhood experience. Many would say that I’m likely that I got away so lightly ,in terms of traumatic childhood experiences. I like the way that guys are so
much simpler than girls, when there’s an issues it’s sorted out with a punch or
two and then resolved and forgotten, with young girls it’s another story. Oh,
yes I have overcome the small -made- big dramas from my long ago primary school
days, mainly because I’m now close friends with those who made life difficult.
Funny how life works out. </span><o:p></o:p></div>Sarah Bellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17264101598202707188noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-494165168019424291.post-14708407377198515502011-10-23T07:26:00.001-07:002011-10-23T07:26:42.136-07:00Only bad things happen quickly - naat<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I would agree that bad food can be cooked quickly such as
fast food but Jamie Oliver would probably disagree with me as his 5 minute
meals are likely to be out of this world. A quick decision under pressure can
lead to a hugely positive result but then again there can lead to complete
disasters. The quick decision I made to drive all the way to Plettenberg Bay
this weekend resulted in an amazing weekend so not all bad things happen quickly.</span><o:p></o:p></div>Sarah Bellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17264101598202707188noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-494165168019424291.post-39784544611542413372011-10-23T07:25:00.000-07:002011-10-23T07:25:52.120-07:00The Beacon for the weekend!<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A last minute timeshare offer at the Beacon Isle lead to a
spontaneous decision to pack my bags and head off I went to Plettenberg Bay. <span> </span>What a fabulous time so far, we arrived to a
gorgeous sea facing room and superb weather. Today I have literally spent the
whole day on a deck chair, reading my book and ordering drinks with a dip in
the sea every now and then. <span> </span>I could get
use to a week of this once a year as most timesharers get to enjoy. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I can think of opposite times when this statement applies,
when I have been bold and when I have been too fearful to be bold. The times in
my life which stand out as being life changing experiences have been when I
have put on my ‘bold hat’. My ‘bold hat’ I’m sure will need to come out of my
closet on a regularly basis soon, as I begin my career and need to make bold
decisions and be confident in my abilities. My bold decision to change schools
half way through Grade 11. lead to a whole lot of positive changes in my life
and friendships which have changed so many aspects in my life. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I wonder and I walk, clearing the pebbles, walking between
the boulders in attempt to see the view. I can see the tops of the sunrays but
the hills block my sight, I walk on as I’m almost there. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The wind blows my hair in my face as it tries to block my view,
the glorious green jungle tugs at my angles pulling me back.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

pointing this way.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Yesterday I had my first beach bum session for the summer at the gorgeous Llandudno beach. The beach was packed people were sandwiched between the sea and the reeds, everyone with the same ideas as me enjoying the October rays. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I could refer to Andy Pausch’s Last Lecture speech for this
blog post, which I do think is phenomenally insightful but I’m going to go wild
and talk about my upcoming ‘lasts’.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I use to say that I need at least one thing to look forward
to whether it be a beach holiday, end of term party or getting a new hair ‘do’.<span> </span>I was so looking forward to finishing high
school and leaping into creating a life for myself as a university student. It
feels like within a blink of an eye I wrote my last matric exam and sang the
school song for the last time. I have very fond memories of high school it
really was the ‘shizz’ so I kind of regret trying to wish the days along.</span><br /><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">So
now that that’s a crazy 5 years behind me and I’m heading towards my last
lecture at CPUT and all those ‘lasts’ <span> </span>at
school are coming to mind. <span> </span>With the
present work load it’s hard not want to hurry up the time but seeing my Tech
ladies almost every day is something that’ll undoubtedly miss so I’m not
counting down the ‘lasts’ just yet. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">In a matter of weeks I’ll be in a new phase of my life.
Studying my PR Btech will be over and stressful assignments and presentations
will be a thing of the past. The next thing on the menu will be the job search,
applications and interviews. Hopefully not too many before I find what makes me
tick! So many life lessons are ahead which I find quite scary. My fellow pupils
and I all come from the same institution which has equipped us with a certain
set of skills but how we use them and where we go will, most likely, be
completely different. I will be fascinated to see where everyone is 10 years
from now. </span><o:p></o:p></div>

I've been able to do very non student budget friendly things because of their enormously reduced vouchers. I find it quite a delight to check my Blackberry while I'm still waking up and see what treats are on offer from these various discount platforms. So far I have enjoyed dinners at larny restaurants, my hair coloured and done at top hair salons (a few times), amazing presents for friends, not having to put off having a car service, spa treatments to name a few. Thank goodness I have to ask to borrow my parents credit cards otherwise this could be a danger zone for me, I'm a sucker for a good deal!</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Living the dream. Well one of them. This past week I played Mom for four kids. My week was revolved around waking up super early to lift the kids, not before grapping a Nespresso from the coffee machine, shopping at Woolworths, driving the Mom's Mercedes Benz Compressor and enjoying gorgeous meals made by the house keeper Celi, at the ring of the 6pm dinner bell. I could get use to being a Soccer Mom but right now the freedoms of being a student, even on a shoe string budget are pretty attractive ;) </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Countless hours
were spent looking for Wally in my Where’s Wally books. The different eras and worlds were fascinating
to me and drew me into the make believe world. A few weeks back I was looking
after my little cousins and went into the dusty shed to find the box with my
old childhood books, to keep them entertained. Interestingly enough my very well
worn Where’s Wally book was by far their favourite, so I decided to handover my
beloved Where’s Wally book. Sharing the joy! </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 9pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Some conversations can be like
food and drink; refreshing and invigorating. Conversation can build you up and
take the weight of ten bricks off your shoulders.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I like these kinds of conversations but life
seems to be made up of many types of conversations ones that give you wings and
ones that break you down.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Fundamental
memories in my life revolve around certain conversation s I have had with
people. I see conversations as what connects people it’s the foundation of any
relationship. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Calibri;">Life can feel overwhelming in no
time when too many commitments are made. I am having an overload,
commitment-wise time at the moment. I realised how frazzled I was when
yesterday I forgot to bring my passport to the travel agency to pay for my
flight to Thailand before it was cancelled, due to this forgetfulness my flight
was cancelled and that specific flight special never to be seen again. To add
to my bad day I forgot about an appointment which I had to book months in
advance to get a spot. Sheesh!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Serious
bad day material!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Then I had to gather
up the strength to have a serious DMC (deep meaningful conversation) with a
friend to clear up some issues. The conversation was actually great and things
resolved so at least my wreck of a Wednesday ended on a sweet note.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My life at the moment feels like one bit pending experience:</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm waiting to hear if I've got into the first round of interviews for next years graduate programmes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm waiting to hear if we are going to move to Tokai from Claremont not.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm waiting for my boyfriend to come home from overseas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm waiting for my friends nest egg to arrive so that we can book our overseas trip.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I'm waiting for my gym sessions to show some results.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">I dream of a job that I can’t wait to get to in the morning
and a beautiful home and family that I can’t wait to get to in the afternoon.
My dream is to live in a place which is near mountains and the sea. My dream is
filled with freedom and love where I have time to really live and experience
all the goodness that life has to offer. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My dream is to always be able to be genuine and honest and to do what I love to my best ability in all aspects of life.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">My dream is that at the end of my life my regrets are few that I can undoubtedly say that my use of life was spent on something that will outlast it.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;">It's quite funny that this is the blog topic of this week because the book I was reading last night was talking close to this topic, 'there are two basic ways people try to find happiness and fulfillment: the way of moral conformity and the way of self-discovery. Each acts as a lens colouring how you see all of life, or as a paradigm shaping your understanding of everything. Each is a way of finding personal significance and worth, of addressing the ills of the world, and of determining right from wrong. ' - The Prodigal God, Tim Keller.</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This book discusses the simple biblical story of the Prodigal son but what is very different is that it looks at the older brother who was just as lost as his wild brother who went on a journey of self discovery. The older brother was the one who conformed but to a point where he lost himself and touch with what was important.</span></span></div><div style="font-family: arial; font-size: small; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><br />

Perfect fun place to discuss our Thailand trip!</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">This joint is perfectly described as,'<span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"> I felt like I’d chanced upon Barbie’s hidden lair – a pink fantasy of feather boa’s, fairy lights and Florida flamingo’s arranged in compromising positions. I couldn’t help but check out the muscle bound waiters in tight T-shirts. They can’t have got that buff by eating the burgers, so I figured they were probably lifting them.</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"> '</span></span><br />

</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">The only challenge of our Beefcake experience, other than trying to not stare at the barmen, was wondering how to pick the generous burgers up. After overcoming that little challenge we cleaned our plates. The burgers were indeed legendary due to size and taste with a hugely generous side salad!</span></span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 18px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

This can sometimes be impossible when major assignments are due right on top of each other.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A group of my friends and I all in the overwhelming work position decided that a little dance was what was needed to shake off the blues. We headed to Deco Dance in Seapoint, where we danced to 80s tunes, played by DJs in their 60s. At one stage the DJ was talking on one of those brick cellphones while playing a tambourine. BIZARRE.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We had such a fabulous time! The 1.5 hrs night on the dance floor was the perfect kick to get the motivation back into our fingertips.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />

When rabbits escape from their hutch they always seem to run in two different directions. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">A martial arts student approached his teacher with a question. “I’d like to improve my knowledge of the martial arts. In addition to learning from you, I’d like to study with another teacher in order to learn another style. What do you think of this idea?”<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">“The hunter who chases two rabbits,” answered the master, “catches neither one.”<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">What could this mean to me in a deeper sense? Setting your sights on one particular goal is more likely to be successful than trying to split your efforts between two goals. </span><o:p></o:p></div>Sarah Bellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17264101598202707188noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-494165168019424291.post-58291276398721264722011-08-14T08:41:00.000-07:002011-08-14T08:41:49.127-07:00Learning to sell myself...in a good sense of course<br />
<div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Gosh, I’m finding it hard to ‘sell myself’ it even makes me a little embarrassed. At the moment I am filling out lots of graduate application forms for next year. It seems the graduate application process is a highly competitive business. I’m guessing the trick is to make your application stand out from the hundreds of others. <span> </span>I have been told that for the many interviews that I may experience in my life I’ve got to come across as the best person for the job and so ‘sell myself’ so here’s to learning how!</span><o:p></o:p></div><div class="MsoNormal"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br />
