Full of Wisdom...

Hellaaah everybaady
Long time no see eh?

Sorry about that...

I'm bordering giving up on apologizing, I'm just a lost cause with posting regularly really.

Not that I don't love you thiiiiiiiiis much, but I'm too busy doing stupid things for me to come home and write about and then for you to laugh about.

See ? It's a good system.

Anywhoo, I'm sure you've noticed my new look. I've decided to change it because, as you know my attention span is rather poor and I get bored of things really easily.

Also I've decided to go for a more sophisticated look...

Well no, actually I had the most perfect template eveeerrrr but it wouldn't unzip :(
It had lambs in it (^^,)

So this was my second choice.

My friend had this stupid brilliant idea that I should interview myself on my blog. So, because it is so stupid brilliant, I shall do it.



What have you been doing with yourself these passed few weeks?

Aah, you know, the usual. I had exams going on so I spent most of my time hibernating in my room - studying, eating chocolate, studying.
It is for this reason that I didn't fall over anywhere, because, well, the only places I could fall over was in my room.

And I'm not that clumsy....

.......

.....


Suuuuure. 
I believe you have been in a lot of pain lately, tell us about that.

Yes well my wisdom teeth are coming out - and let me tell you for free, it is bloody painful,  and hence I have to go for an operation for them to be taken out.
My friend and I have scheduled a date for us to have them taken out together.

How romantic.

What else is new in your life?

Welllll I've decided to take up field hockey again (because there are too many boys doing Athletics and not enough girls so the team got cut... grrrrr).
You can expect to hear stories about that, it can only mean something interesting will happen.


What is your favorite TV programme at the moment?

What's a TV programme?

I haven't watched TV  in over 3 months because of school.


So we can all guess what you'll be doing with your time this break?

You betcha socks you can. 


What cheers you up when you are down?\

*whoop whoop*


Have a good April everybaady

Whyyy.. Oh Whyyy

 Hellllaaaah :)
I hope you guys are having a terrific time.

Because once again, I'm not.

Buuuut (following last time's post) I'm still alive and still can't complain.

But I'm going to anyway.

Remember my post about how my Samsung Galaxy S3 dropped itself in the pool and blah blah blah? (If you don't, you should, so here it is *ping*)
Wellll I may or may not have dropped it yesterday. It hit the floor and all but I wouldn't describe it as a "CRASH BAAM BOOM" kind of landing, just a mere "CLONK!".

And it died. Yep, I think all the boulders life threw at it finally got on top of it.(Although the first mistake life made was giving it to me because that's when it got dropped 7 00000 times and thrown in the pool once or twice..) 

So now I have a Blackberry again. *woop woop*

Also, in my natural "TayTay" spirit I have left my homework for a Sunday, aaand I have a cold.
So poo.

This means I shouldn't be blogging but I downright refuse to abandon my blog again.

I thought I should share that I have been blowing my nose so many times that I managed to take a chunk of flesh out of my nose with the tissue yesterday.
It looks like I have a nose ring...

At least I've managed not to trip/fall this weekend *please don't jinx please don't jinx*.
See, I look on the bright side of life.

Enjoy this week Minions :D

The Madness Continues..

Hellooo Everybaaady

I hope you've all had a good week full of chocolate pie and cookies and milk and all that shizz nizzle.

Because I didn't.

But I won't complain because I'm still alive, and when you're still alive you can't really complain

Although you definitely can't complain when you're dead. At least I think you can't.

*Shut up brain* Anyway, I came close to ol' death himself last week (no jokes) and I have to say, as anyone would expect, it wasn't fun.
You see, I have been allergic to nuts since I was about 3 years old. I could be around them and all I was just hypersensitive to them so I could smell them when somebody around me was eating them - and I wasn't allowed to eat them.

Which wasn't fun because they smell like chicken.

So I had a dish at a restaurant that had pesto sauce in it, forgetting that pesto sauce is made with pine nuts.

And so I exploded.

Naah just kidding, but I did stop breathing. Luckily there was a trained first-aid person-hero-thingy and they helped me breathe again.
But, strangely enough, I also broke out in a rash. Everywhere. I still have a bit of it on my arm but otherwise most of its gone thanks to (and this is where the mango bath comes in) my mother who happens to be a slave to google.

 I'll let you put two and two together.

While you're figuring it out here are some pictures of the three most important boys in my sparkly life.

I caught them all when the flash got them  *teehee*.

That's snookums, my brother.

Matty, my boyfriend.

Myself with my gorgeous puppy, Tigger (that's Tee-Ai-Double-Gah-Er) :D

Enjooy :D Until next time <3
Tah.

*poof*

Here We Go 2013

Yep, it is now officially 2013 for me. Instead of elaborating, here is a summary of my fabulous majestical week - so far:

Monday: Flew home from holiday. I nearly died on the airplane. I hate flying, especially take off. I also had to sit next to one of those lovely 'I'm-such-a-hot-biatch-look-at-me-I'm-wearing-heels-the-size-of-my-breast-implants-and-so-much-make-up-my-face-is-about-to-fall-off' people. So here I am wearing leggings, uggs and a sweat-shirt next to this weird bimbo type lady and I'm shaking in my uggs because we're slowly leaving the safety of the hard, secure ground; and as we get into the air and the safety-belt light goes off, she decides I am going to be her personal messenger. Obviously the guy across the pathway of the plane in the same row as us attracted her, so she starts writing on a serviette and asks me to lean over and give it to him.
So I do.
Because I'm a nice person.
And this is how the rest of the 3-hour flight went. Passing messages between two desperately lonely middle-aged people who are trying to look younger than they really are.

I'm not lying about what I was wearing. Also, that bear in my backpack has never left my side since the day I was born. Now he's the bombdiggady if ever there was one.

Tuesday: First day back at school. I had a blast actually. We did noooofing the entire day.
What I found really amazing was I hadn't even walked two steps into my maths classroom and my teacher already smacked me over the head, for absolutely no reason at all whatsoever. At all. Whatsoever.

Okay I got a B for maths last year and I normally get an A. Sue me bro.

Wednesday: I fell on my arse in the middle of the shopping mall.
It wasn't my fault this time.

Well not entirely.

You see, I tend to have a very competitive personality and a friend who I have been at school with since grade 0 (kindergarten?) began to race me to Mc Donald's. In the middle of the mall. So I'm in my uggs (they're my best friends) and I start shuffling   racing along passed all the shops trying to catch up with him. I began to pass him and was feeling like such a beast when he tripped me.

What an asshole.

How's that for companionship? The girl in uggs passed me and I don't want to look like a loser so I'll just trip her and hope she lands on her head. Nice.

Thursday: I lost my phone and so had to go to school without it. I couldn't understand it, I was BBMing in bed last night and then *bam* the sandman or the toothfairy or whoever knocked me out and I fell asleep, and when I woke up my phone was gone.
After turning my bedroom upside down when I got home and was even cursing and muttering to myself like a grumpy decrepit pensioner, Matthew arrives for a visit, walks into my room, turns my duvet upside down and it slides out the duvet cover.

How embarrassing. *shakes fist*

Friday: Meh, nothing particularly interesting happened actually.  I just fell down the stairs because I was typing on my phone but that's the usual thing. People don't even laugh or stare at me anymore they're just like "oh Tay's at it again". And I'll tell you this for free, it takes yeeeaaarrsss to build up a reputation like that.

So yes, interesting week. Needless to say I have a couple of bruises but you know what they say, bruises are just a sign that you've had a good time.

Or you've been beaten over the head by your maths teacher.
Whichever.

Have a good weekend sweetie-pants's.

You Guys Are So Fluffy I Could Just Cry

First off I just have to tell you that you guys made me feel so happy and cosy inside when I read your comments on my last post. *smiles like a bunny*

I would also like to tell you to feel free to ask me any questions about South Africa, I would be more than happy to answer.
Twitter: @TaylaFree 
Email: myrelationshipwiththeworld@hotmail.com

And lastly, I would like to invite you to follow my "book journey" thingy. In other words, just read each section when I post it and tell me if its crap or not. I'd really like to establish a "circle" of people who will follow the book just so I can get as many opinions as possible.

Aaand you'll get a free pickle.
No seriously if you want something in return feel free to ask; guest posts, badges, mentions, whatever just read my book.

Fabulous.

Now to today's topic. Holiday.

This is Thandi (Tun-dee). And some random blonde in the way of my shot but let's ignore her.

This is me with Kesha. And Thandi again in the background.

*Note. These elephants are part of the Knysna elephant park. They are trained not to hurt people but they are still wild. In other words, if they want to walk somewhere then they're gonna walk, and if they want food then they're gonna go get food whether you want a picture with them or not.
It was actually quite funny my mom got a picture of me running after the elephants because they wouldn't stay still.
Only I didn't do it for long because ya know, I didn't want an elephant pissed off with me or anything.

They are soooo cute.

We also went to Monkeyland. The monkeys there were basically ones that had been abused or given away etc etc. 

How could you ever give this away??

The poor guy doesn't have a tail :( very sad. (Yes, he is supposed to have a tail)

That was a lemur of some sort I can't remember what the name was. Apparently they're not the brightest crayons in the box.... But they're cute and fuzzy so it's fine.

This was also sooo cute.
Until the mother started "yelling" at us for taking pictures of her kid.
Still cute though.

Another lovely picture of a mother and baby randomly on the pavement..

This guy was the bombdiggady.
That's all I could really say about him. I mean just look at those eyes.

We also went to the beach as well as sight-seeing but I doubt you'd care about that. I mean compared to the guy above me the beach is nothing. :P

I thought this was quite a nice view that you'd be interested in. If I had to tell you how many times I nearly fell in this lagoon/sea/river thingy you'd be shocked.
So let's not go there.

Anyway I hope you enjoyed the pictures.
My book should be on by le weekend as promised.

Enjooy :)

I'm Extremely Bad At Life In General

Sooo it is exactly a month since I last posted. Boo. I'm sorry.
I do understand that my blog would probably be more successful if I got off my ass and updated it more but the problem is I'm already off my ass too much.
Anyway, enough moaning for now.

School starts tomorrow and as usual I haven't prepared for anything. But that isn't important; this year I am in the grade where we run for a place on the Leadership Council. The Leadership Council basically runs the school, within the boundaries that the Headmistress sets, which is pretty cool. We all get different portfolios such as Head of Culture, Sport, Technical, House, Health and Safety, Marketing.
I think I'm gonna run for prez.
TayTay for president!
Now that has a nice ring to it :P

I'm also writing a book. Yes, as usual I am writing a book. I know, I know, but it has to be understood that I happen to have the attention span of half a fish. Yes, half a fish. Therefore it is very difficult for me to stay motivated because once I read over what I've written, I think it's crap and I give up.
But not this time. :D
I've written the first 25 pages, which is a good sign in my books (pun intended) because I've never reached this far before and I don't plan on stopping. *Oh yeah*
Except for the fact that it's school tomorrow. Trust me to have a brainwave a week before school starts. 

I was thinking about posting the first page or so here just to see what you guys think but I'm afraid :P If you guys think it's crap I will fall over. So I am going to edit it until I think I won't fall over and then post it.
Just so you know, contrary to my fabulous-comedy style writing on my blog :P, this is a very dramatic book, but I'm hoping it will be inspirational and all that jazz-nazz too.
It's called Learning to Run in the Rain.
So please watch out for it, it should be posted by ze weekend.
If it isn't then I am even worse at life than I already think I am.

Once last thing before I begin to bore you, I went to the coast on holiday, I got back yesterday actually.

Matty came with me. We did all types of shizz-nizz including feeding elephants, watching monkeys and such. This is rather ironic because ya know, I'm in South Africa and that sort of thing shouldn't be such a new thing to me.

But it is.
I'm under-privileged what can I say.

I also fell on my ass, which is not a new thing as you know. So whatever.
Anyway, pictures of elephant-feeding and rather moronic monkeys will be in the next post.

Until then,
Love you byeeeeeeeee :D

I Swear I have a Talent for Running Into Mishaps - Literally

Some people have a talent for piano, others for drawing, dancing etc..
I happened to be blessed with the talent for running into things.

I'll elaborate:

My dad recently got the Samsung Galaxy Note II and he said I could have his Samsung Galaxy SIII which had barely been used. So of course I was like *yay*. I had set it all up and fine-tuned it to my preferences with purple splashes here and there etc etc blah blah. No sooner had I gone outside to take a picture of my little cousin running around in the garden when I walked into the pillar on our patio, causing my phone to fly out my had and into the pool.

Bastards.

I think I had it for about half-an-hour before managing to destroy it.
I have to confess that the pool was slightly dirty on the bottom - leaves and stuff, making the phone dissappear in a pool of muck.

Double bastards.

Anyway, I ran to put my swimming costume on but was reminded with the fact that Pookie had borrowed it the last time she was here. So I had to improvise with a pair of my brothers shorts that barely stayed around my waist and one of his shirts.

The odds were indeed against me.

Then it was time for my rescue mission. It was getting quite dark and we were in the process of replacing the pool-lights, therefore they weren't working. So I wrapped a torch in glad-wrap and cello-tape and dived in the pool.

To say the least, it was cold.

But the torch lit up under water :D
And I borrowed my cousin's barbie goggles..

This is where a picture of my outfit would go if I wanted you to see me in over-sized shorts and a shirt with a glad-wrapped torch and barbie goggles. Instead, I gift you with a pig in boots.

My pool is on the massive side so I spent about twenty minutes looking for this phone, fully aware that the longer it stayed in water the less likely it was to work. Another fifteen minutes passed and finally I found it in the corner of the pool under some leaves.

After taking the phone apart and drying it with a hair-dryer, I googled how to get it to work. Every site said I should leave it in rice for a day or so.
So I did that.

And it worked. *hah!*

There is nothing wrong with it :D hazaah
I have to mention that the phone was at the bottom of the pool for at least 45 minutes.
Quite amazing actually...

Sooo a few things I have learneed from this experience are:

• Don't walk into a bloody pillar.
• Samsung Galaxy SIIIs are one of the toughest phones I've ever seen.
• Torches wrapped in  glad-wrap and cello-tape work just as effectively as those fancy water-proof torches.
• Three-year olds and be cruel and uncompassionate creatures once they see their cousins in large shorts and a shirt with barbie goggles and a torch wrapped in plastic ready to go diving and searching for a phone at the bottom of a huge pool which ended up there after she walked into a hard concrete poll. She's still laughing about it today.
• Pools should be kept clean at all times.

All in all I'm just glad the phone is still working and my cousin has something to smile about.
Actually she's always laughing at me.....

Ah well.
Happy December peoples! :D
