 So. I’m back from the break, and I must say that it’s amazing how days can drag on forever, but still seem like they are flying by at lightning speed. I got to my room after I said “bye” to my sisters, and I just felt like running after them. *sigh* It’s back to theContinue reading “I’m Back- and I Come Bearing Gifts!”

Time to go to the back of the wardrobe and dig out the sunhats, the twirly skirts, the flirty tops and the espadrilles, ladies: Spring is finally here! But remember, when you’re shedding off the winter layers, that “letting it all hang out” is not always a good thing. Dignity never goes out of style.Continue reading “A Change of Seasons, Fashion Slavery, and A Call for A Return to Dignity”

I have been deplorably absent from this webpage in the past few weeks, and that is due to a strange mix of fatigue, apathy, sickness and Writer’s Block.

In December last year, my dad finally got me to stop procrastinating and do what most kids do the minute they turn 17: get my Learner’s Licence.I hated having to study during the holidays, but I used the week I had before my test to get to know all the rules and signs that couldContinue reading “Highways To Freedom…?”

I found this picture on a blog I like- it’s by Portia Makoma, and she finds the coolest of random things… This is for all those people who so avidly watch these reality TV “stars” drinking, wearing sunglasses indoors (and sometimes even at night), trying to make bad hairstyles a trend, fighting with their uselessContinue reading “"Reality" TV”

…When I read absolutely everything else but my coursework. A friend of mine echoed this sentiment when I told her that I thought I’d stumbled upon the most amazing read of the year a few weeks ago.I think her exact words were “I love how EVERYTHING is always Amazing when there are exams to studyContinue reading “Exam Time…”
