3 - getting around

today was a very chill day. we didnt get any casting calls so we went to victoria wharf which is a huuuuge mall right by the marina. we went around and browsed in and out of a few shops. we had (an overpriced) lunch overlooking the marina and it was just picturesque! i almost didnt mind that my pasta didnt taste as good as it should have been considering what i paid for it.

we went to our flat afterwards and just chilled.  we talked and played some games on the computer. after a few hours of relaxing we felt a bit bad for being so lazy so we decided to get our asses to the gym. i decided to jog to the gym (also to save on cab money) but my roommie hates walking so she took the cab. i am here on the free internet cafe within the gym. i swear this gym is the best! i think this is where i'll be updating this blog most of the time because i dont have a free wifi at home. i cant catch the superintendent of our apartment, but i'd like to ask him how we can connect to the internet.

i am quite proud of myself today. i jogged/walked to the gym all by myself. that sounds simple but it means a lot! 1) i hate walking anywhere, but the route is just gorgeous i couldnt pass it up 2) i went by myself. the sun was beaming and i am in a pretty safe neighborhood. i know i still have to be cautious but i feel so liberated 3) i didnt get lost 4) i went to the gym again and i conquered laziness! all this = big win.

i am starving so i am going to walk back home now before the sun goes down. i am too cheap to pay for cab so i have to walk it. it's a bit cooler now and it wont be as hot as when i walked here. the SA sun is terrible! i already saw tanlines on me. crap. time to exfoliate. i am craving for a hot bath. i think i will stop by the store to get some bubble bath :)
