43 - the love you seek and more

before i begin, i'd like to say that this post is inspired by this video/song. i suggest you watch this video first and then it'll make this post way more interesting, trust me. just sayin...

[seek bromance - tim berg]

i love love love being spontaneous. when you just pick up and go with no hesitations and worry about anything. it took me awhile to embrace this kind of lifestyle (because even my randoms are calculated somehow), but it feels oh so liberating.

it was a monday morning and i was still in bed because i didnt have any castings at all. my phone rings and it was scott and tim telling me to get up my ass and to come out in 5 mintues."bring sunscreen and swimsuit". i did as they asked, and the day turned out fantastic! we went on a random road trip and we were gone for 24h.  it was crazy fun. at least the parts that i remember...

the beautiful chapman's peak

i was seriously having visual orgasm

this picture totally sucks and it frustrates me how i cant even show you at least 5% of it's beauty.

you just had to be there. you will cry, trust me.

tim being a model. he was totally posing for this shot

sigh. i miss you.

threesome

excuse my hair. like i said, i only had 5 minutes to book it for this trip.

happy feet!

omg i love penguins. i love this whole thing ! truly amazing.

soaking it all in.

boulder's beach

aww..heart.

penguins only have one mate for life.  that totally fascinates me.

simon's town !

these two were taunting the poor penguins :(

yea i made them do that :)

they were making fun of me for being so asian

more penguins !

scott introducing himself to pingu

sun tanning

me and scott

dont do it tim! we love you!

what is that up there, hiding between the rocks??

*zoom* we couldnt figure out wtf that is..

so we just called it sea rodent

tim offering us some cocaine - heh - i mean seasalt

I LOVE YOU PINGU !

cheesing

i hate how unprepared i was for this photo op..

but the penguins make the pics all pretty

pingu found his mate

<3

next stop was hout bay

you cant go here without trying the best calamari you will ever have in your life - TRUST !

we weren't even hungry but i had to have it. the smell of it alone was awesome.

and it was so worth it. it tasted like they just caught it that day

it's just this little cute shack and it's family owned. it makes it taste that much better.

we were gone at this point. can you tell ??

people thought we were crazy.

caused so much ruckus.

hout bay

im so glad i got to come back to this place to take a closer look.

such beauty.

this water was shallow and warmer (compare to the other beaches)

...and the pics stops here. the rest are all in my mind. it's safer there !

42 - day of rest

after 4 straight days of partying hardcore, a much needed detox had to be done. my girlies and i decided to just chill at the park and talk to random locals. after dinner, i was treated to a belated surprise coffee date :)

runaway bride ?

chill dinner at our usual spot

(missing a blonde. she was probably snogging with some bloke)

i miss you too my sweet chocochino <3

41 - birthday celebration part 3

on my actual birthday, my friends took me out the whole day from morning until the next day. it was a great birthday despite being away from home! actually it was one of the best birthday celebrations i ever had. good times.

my birthday cake !

these pretty ladies sang me happy birthday

i shoulda recorded it on video but i was so lost in the moment

*tear*

inside the "black taxi"

they often blare loud music inside, so naturally, we were dancing!

we sat in the back

(it's safe guys, trust me!)

where we had lunch!!!

"appetizer" lol

table numero ocho !

main course

(omg im so hungry all of a sudden) - and yes those are calamaris cooked 2 ways!

still hungover from the night before

it's shopping time!

i get to represent SA because 1) there's no TO 2) it's my birthday lol

we had cake before going out for dinner

omg i kid you not - BEST CAKE EVER !

it was like.. cookie cake. i dont know, you had to taste it.

all dressed up and ready to go

dinner at MAMA AFRICA!

okay so this is a little "touristy" spot, but we gave in anyway

(i took this on a different day, that's why it's during the day)

at the bar, waiting to be seated and enjoying the live band

another SATC moment - i heart these beautiful ladies !

posing with my LBD

i got a game potjie which had crocodile, kudu and springbok

OH YEAAAH taste just like beef stew

i forgot what she had, but she was really excited about it, obviously

she had grilled fish

and so did she

first stop was at st. yves for my complimentary bottle service

cant say no to that !

champagne!

thanks big poppa!

cheers to birthdays, friends and cape town!

i love her

shoulda snagged her as a roommate when i had the chance !

(although she did stab me on the back once, but it's all out of jealousy, i dont blame her)

i spy with my little eye, two friends on the other side of the bar !

next birthday venue was at 31 (again)

happy feet!

dancing 3 nights in a row left us doing it sans heels eventually

felt so good on the carpet, despite it being gross if you think about it

dance like no one's watching indeed !

the energizer bunnies

toronto came to party!

marshall and his crew showed up to my bash,

but someone's missing - big baby.

aching feet and legs that go on for days

camera war

the dancefloor is now empty, yet we're still there

maddy & marsh

still going...

...and gone.

turning 25 is hard work. i should know, i did it twice lol

thank you CT for making it a good one :)
