Blarney Castle near Cork, Ireland is a very popular tourist destination.
Therefore we decided to pay it a visit and kiss the Blarney stone. Why kiss a stone? Well kissing the Blarney stone is said to give you the gift of eloquence. Being an English student this is a very promising gift to me.
So we climbed up the tiny narrow spiral stairs all the way to the top of the castle so that we could hang upside down and kiss a stone that was once kissed by Winston Churchill too. Thousands of people have kissed this stone - this means thousands of cooties and using a disinfectant is not a bad idea. Not that we did.
Take a guess what this room is for?

At the moment I am on a lovely and long holiday in Ireland. We arrived after a long trip from Johannesburg International to Dubai, then to Gatwick, and after spending the whole day there we left for Ireland. It has been a lovely trip so far.
We watched the Rugby SA vs The Lions. And we won. Twice! Yippeeeeeeee. I have been reading a lot too…onto a new book (another Marian Keyes - actually the only one of her books I haven’t read). Here are a few Pics from our trip.

I haven’t posted in a loooong time. There really has been a lot going on, which I promise to update about soon. For now though I have a guest post from the lovely Andhari from Insomniac lolita. To her I would just love to say that I am so sorry this post is so late. Things have been insane on my side.
Hello, beautiful people. It’s Andhari from Insomniac Lolita taking over for the day. Thanks to Megg , for asking me to guest post the other day. This girl is excited. Why? Because I heart Megg. We have a lot of things in common. She’s into fashion, books and she dances! Way better than I am, but still, what’s not to love?
And another thing : we ADORE Sex and The City. Although, who doesn’t?
I gasped when people tell me they hate Sex and The City. HELLO! The show might be over but the ladies are still fabulous, with great successful career and sophisticated life. They wear gorgeous clothes and play like rockstars. That’s inspiring. Men are too prude sometimes to keep an open mind and try to watch it. Little do they know that if they learn about the series ( and the movie ), it can come to their advantages. As far as I know, once a man says that he likes Sex and the City, girls will throw panties at him. What? I shouldn’t say that? Ahem.
Here are some random things I learn about the series, and the movie :
1.Being single is awesome
This is the ultimate teaching here, right? Singleness is fun. Especially if you have great friends. You can do whatever you want all the time without a man dictating you, or get overly jealous when you don’t spend time with them so much. Thumbs up from this end.
2. Good guys are hard to find ( men cheat, ignore, etc )…
…But when you do, you’re usually bored with them. Seriously, women complain about bad boys but the good ones make them yawn. What’s up with that? Healthy balance, ladies.
3. Being a Nympho will lead to excessive weight gain
Remember Samantha Jones in the movie? Always, always control your sexual urges. You don’t wanna be stuck with one man someday and get tempted by buff surfers then have extra 10 pounds for binging your way out of temptations, do you?
4. You have to allocate some of your salaries for designer items
It doesn’t matter if you leave in an ugly one bedroom apartment and should be moving somewhere more decent, all women should have Manolo Blahnik and Dolce & Gabbana heels in their closets ( which is bigger than the bedroom area itself, according to Carrie Bradshaw ).
5. Don’t change for a guy unless he’s worthy and you can handle it
Carrie tried to quit smoke for Aidan and look how that turned out. I don’t think anyone should ask their partner to give something up all at once like that. He should at least should be wise and ask her not to smoke around him. By the way, if a man asks me to quit partying, for example, he better not dwell on it and just shove it :P.
Anything I miss? What random things you learn from Sex and The City?

Yes it’s finally here. That is voting day in South Africa. Are you voting? I hope so.
I have come to realise that voting and who you are voting for seems to still be a touchy subject for some. I don’t know why, and if asked most people would probably not know either.
I realised this yesterday when I had brunch with my lovely friends Kat and Ryan. Obviously this topic arose and strangely enough we all joked about who we were voting for but none of us actually asked who the others are really voting for. It came out at the end with the usual “I am voting for xxx” and the reply “me too”, but there was no open questions about who will be voting for who.
Why is this? Why was it a rather touchy subject? I don’t know. Maybe it goes back to the fear of people not wanting to know from the days of repression and fear. Maybe it is the way that we are brought up - it is secret.
Who knows? What I do know though is that everyone should vote. I know of people who aren’t voting as they couldn’t care less, or just don’t do politics but honestly I’m not big into politics either and I will be voting today. So, you can too.
I would love to hear opinions on this and why you are or are not voting.

Change - Defined in Wikipedia as the process of becoming different. It’s also one of those words that starts to sound really weird if you say it over and over and over again. Change, Change, Change, Change, Change, Change, Change.
So there have been a lot of changes lately in my life. Some of which I can mention at the moment and some which I can’t.Many people are afraid of change, afraid of the unknown. I agree it can be scray.
At the studio we lost a teacher and gained another. It’s horrible to lose a colleague who is so close. The worst part is that she was not just a colleague but a friend too. People move on in life and I find that change is a good thing. It should be embraced. I am very happy for her and her new job but I will miss her.
Another change…my 20 Something Bloggers page looks different. I changed my appearance. Not a big change, but a change non-the-less.
Not all changes in life are big rite? But most changes in life are good. They open up many doors and opportunities that might not have been there before. What I’m going on about now doesn’t have anything to do with my appearance change on 20sb, but maybe soon I can reveal what I’m truly babbling about. For now though, I will continue to think of change as a good thing - I am open to change.
