getting u up to speed with me...

This post will simply be a summary of everything that has happened in my life so far. I am making this so that you will understand my day-to-day blogs better. I shall start the first paragraph with My hobbies.

I have pretty much only got two real hobbies. The first could be defined as a activity, sport, cultural interaction or just something to do. I bet you already know exactly what it is...  
Skateboard riding aka skateboarding. I am a proud owner of a skateboard with 4 wheels... not those silly boards with 2... nope mine has 4 wheels :)
I really like skateboard riding because im really good with their colloquial way of communicating. You could probably have already observed that i am one who enjoys skateboard riding by the manner of speech used in this blog entry. I have gotten to know our local skateboard community well and i am somewhat accepted by them. I really enjoy "hanging out" with them. We often enjoy the sport of skateboarding together in a proper manner. It is really a civilized sport that can be compared to cricket as a gentleman's game, tennis as a game of strategy and chess for the intellectual side of it. Skateboard riders are comparable to the old British for their esteem in good manners and the Japanese for their great discipline. It has even been considered to change the saying "what happens if you fall of your horse? you get back up." to "what happens if a pebble gets caught under you wheel and you bail? You get up and check for a flat spot." i know the meaning of the two sayings differ completely but everything becomes cooler if you add a skateboard angle to it. hahaha

My second hobby is Photography. I currently own a canon 350D. It is a entry level SLR camera. I usually take photos of skateboarding. I also enjoy Marco photography. It is not as much fun as it use to be and I dont take as many pictures now. I want to start a photography business though. Dont know what a good price would be. Any advice? 


strep throat :)

Okay...
My girlfriend (Erin) had a sore throat. I went to visit her and we watched a scary movie which turned out not to be scary at all, a nightmare on elm street. bit overrated i say. anyway we closed the door and blinds to block out light and make the room a bit darker. so we watched the movie successfully with a few scares hear and there. So the next day i also have a sore throat? bit sketchy yes but nothing really... that night my throat is killing me... so the next day my mom books me in for a doctors appointment and before we go i googled my symptoms and the treatment... apparently i have a strep throat and need antibiotics... this infomation took me 2 minutes to gather. So we are off to the doctor and he draws blood and gives me injections and all that and 24 hours later he phones and confirms that i have a strep throat and need antibiotics... Ironic waste of money ey? So Here is the cons of my disease... i have to stay in bed for a week... i feel terrible....my throat is sore and it pains every time i swallow... im going to have to catch up on a lot of homework.... BUT! here are the pros :) Erin also has to stay in bed so we chat over Mxit all day... my mom bought me loads of sterri stumpies to drink... i recorded all of X games 17 to enjoy in the comfurt of my bed... overall this is a pro in my life i think...:)

MY FUTURE???

What on earth should i become? A question that runs through the mind of many kids i think... Well it has definitely been running through mine. I change my idea of what to become weekly. The only thing i truly know is that it will be in the line of business. Currently im considering becoming a lawyer. The subjects i chose were 
  • Economics
  • Accounting
  • Business Studies
  • Math
  • English Home Language
  • Afrikaans first additional language 
  • Life Orientation 
I am also learning Spanish and want to be learning Spanish soon.

I consider becoming a lawyer (as u already now know), chartered accountant, economist or a journalist.
The majority of my friends advice me to go for journalism because its not that boring. But what real future will there be for me in journalism. 

My girlfriend

Well her name is Erin :)... Cant help but smile every time i say it. Erin :) :).. hehe anyway. she has wonderful blue eyes and ginger blonde hair. She is skinny and enjoys many of the same activities as what I do. We have been dating since the 21st of April 2011. I haven't ever felt the same way about a girl as what i feel about her. she makes me smile all the time... :) I don't believe that this is simple infatuation. 

My Family...
 I am what you would call a laat lammetjie (little late lamb)... it means i was born much later than the rest of my siblings. I have got 1 sister and 2 brothers. i also have 2 sister in laws. My eldest brother is Stegman. The next brother is Izak and my sister is Heleen. My sister in law whom is married to stegman is Liesel. The other sister in law is married to Izak and her name is Taryn. My mom is Hendrina and my dad is Herman. 
I will shortly ttell you a bit more about each member.

Hendrina: 
She is my mother and gave birth to me at the age of 40! the difference between me and my eldest brother is the same as the difference as he and my mother in age... She is currently 56 and writes keywords for some company. She is going senile... She is often my source to information. She also enjoys photography... She is staring to get grey hair and wrinkles... 

Herman:
He is my father... He is strict and down to the point. He makes so many lame jokes and is often the only one laughing. He goes onto my FaceBook profile and invites all of my friends. Well only the girls. He is the owner and manager of a car garage and also rents out a building to some Chinese shop. He is 58 years old.

Stegman:
He is my brother...He could have been my father if you look at the age gap between us. He often acts like my father by giving me speeches and so on. He is very musical and enjoys playing guitar, drums and the bass. He has got two daughters Ashelle and Lael.... They recently moved from Johannesburg to right next door...  

Izak:
He is my cool sibling. He used to also ride skateboard and he now surfs. He is never condescending with me and he is currently in LA. He was in England for a year or two a while back.  

Heleen: 
She is what i call one of those "huh?" girls.... She had a Gr12 average of A+! She decided to do what she loves and go into horses even though she had the correct subjects to become a doctor.  It would be like me doing really well and becoming a jounalist. The problem is that there is no money. She is currently living at home with us doing odd jobs. 

Another weird fact about my family is that my grandma is also living with us... these few years were suppose to be my "only child" years and instead Izak is the only one who has not come back home yet... 

I know this may have been a lot to read but it was needed to understand me...  from know on my blog entries will be a day-to-day kind of thing

  1. Once there was a mother who was blessed with the sweetest little son you can imagine. He was grgeous to look at, with dark, curly hair and intense, long-lashed blue eyes. He had the sweetest temperament, a sense of fun and got on very well with all who crossed his way. His mommy loved him to bit, enjoyed him and was proud of him.
    Then something bad happened. One night while everybody was sleeping, aliens landed in the garden, so quietly that not even the dog barked. They gained entrance without opening a door or window and abducted the sweet little boy. Nobody knows exactly what weird experiments they performed on him, but in some inexplicable way he was altered....not for the better. He turned into that most dreaded of creatures......a teenager! So far life has never been the same again. The mommy misses her lovely, sweet little boy while trying to cope with the alien imposter. Experience has taught her that all is not lost. Like the beauty who loved the beast, the princess who pandered to the whims of a frog (eek) she loves him and waits for him to turn into a prince. When he does, she will have to hand him over to some young princess, but what the heck, this is what mothers do.
