I hate February, I never seem to understand why two people are expected or required to celebrate one day of the year on their love for one another, I mean it gets quite boring because I ask myself why can't everyday be Valentine's day? Seriously, we don't need a specific day to show our appreciation to love and happiness and if you're expecting a gift because it's Valentine's day then it's not a relationship based on love or trust but a relationship based on expectation involving what one could buy, I mean it would be shameful for anyone who tremendously cares about love and happiness to buy it with luxury and expensive gifts, it's like saying in order to make friends one must buy them something to bond, it's literally buying friendship and anyone who agrees to it or accepts such an offer isn't exactly a friend but someone who know's you're a complete walkover, however, I would only celebrate Valentine's day it truly was deserved on the basis of love, trust, appreciation and a bond of friendship for life, in this case I doubt it, there's too much deception that is committed in the world on the grounds of love and trust, men don't know how to stay committed to one woman and there's also woman who do it too by deceiving partners, having affaires and whatever else they do and what for? It cannot be love, it's obviously just company, I'm actually glad I've never been committed, I'm even more glad that I've never had a relationship with anyone because I'm waiting for the right person and at the right moment, I believe fate will do it's cause later in the near future but who knows? Anything can happen in that time, for all I know nothing might come of it but yeah, I couldn't really care that much, I've never really had a real friend in my life, most of my so called friends are only my friend because they want something from me, they think I'm blind but I notice everything because if I cannot offer them anything they're never around afterwards, I also have family that do this to me as well and they're family!!!
Anyways, I getting prepared for my trip to Johannesburg at the end of the month, I'm actually going to travel from Johannesburg to the capital, my lovely city of Pretoria, I want to explore the Union Buildings (Parliament of South Africa) because I've heard all these rumours about the grounds on which the building is based on and all these superstitions dating back from the second Boer War, but yeah, I'm not really into the whole if you do that this will happen saga It's so boring, of course I've seen the Union Buildings when we've driven past it but never have I literally stopped to observe the building even though it's actually very beautiful
So right now, it's a beautiful Sunday morning, it's 25 degrees the sun is shining and I'm here writing this, as well as, I'm broke so there's no point in going out, but, the reason I'm broke is due to my well-being and what I've been doing for the greater good even though it's never appreciated, although I have actually got money I'm not going to spend it because the money of which I'm supposed to spend I was pushed into a heavy dilema with my family of which a desperate member who shall not be named needed a loan of which I was called on every member of my family because apparantly I know how to budget (obviously in this case not) anyhows, I decided I might as well hand it over which I did but I wasn't happy about it, after that the member who borrowed it wasn't to be seen again, not a call, not a drop in, not anything but what I do know is that next month they'll know where I am and would play all nicey nice to get me to give into them, it's always the case in my family, and it's strange because three quarters of my family are of major opulence and the rest, well, they're not so fortunate but hey they can survive I mean they're affordable in terms of what they need I mean they're not poor or anything only that 15% of my family are very pushy, I don't wish to offend them but they're however on the outside looking in whereas I am on the inside looking out and I can see that they want that too but I have to be honest, my life really isn't that special so when one hears about how fancy I apparently am or how wealthy I am and that everything in my life is perfect I just want to laugh majorly because it's not, it's because of wealth that it almost destroyed my reputation, it took away my confidence to make real friends and if my family honestly believe that I owe them simply because I haven't seen them in over 16 years then indeed I'm not going to repent in those 16 years I was merely trying to get a good education and succeed, of course I'm still on the verge of getting my bachelor's degree in journalism and later in political-science, I'm still in my innocent gap year so I might as well just take it as it is but in terms of doing what others say simply because they think I owe them then they should think again because it's never going to happen
As for my recent change in establishment I have decided to call on a new one since my arrival here in South Africa, yes, indeed, I'm to appoint a new financial adviser as well as appoint a new private/personal adviser before the end of March the Plattenberg Office will also see new changed in the establishment of which I am head of but nevertheless I am flexible so I'm not going to change my tone but I will change the rules of this establishment, I will introduce more protocol even if it means that my family have to addapt to and yes it will be achieved because I'm very optimistic about the future and I never give up until I've achieved my motive in goal and committment.

I'm weak, so I'll criticize others!
If there's one thing I hate about the perception of South Africans it would have to be their poor sense in fashion, although as a South African myself I've seen a lot of people who look absolutely stunning and fashionable but sometimes I spot stunning people who have just have no fashion sense what so ever and it seriously annoys me to the extent that I frown at them in public I couldn't care less if they approached me and told me not to or asked what's wrong, indeed, I would tell them without a shadow of a doubt what's wrong with them
Yesterday it was 35 degrees here in Port Elizabeth and I decided to take a walk to my polling station to register, BIG MISTAKE, it was almost a mile and a half away, on the map it looks for flat in terms of walking distance, little did I know that I would be walking up hills and down them, nevertheless, I got there in the end and I was feeling rather nauseous and I think the IEC people noticed it when I had arrived, before I walked in I saw some very welcoming people outside I didn't know who they were and frankly couldn't care, anyway, after I registered I came out and noticed that the people outside were members of my party so I walked up to them offered my hand and we had a lovely chat and that's when it happened, due to the heat and very little breeze I was talking for one moment and the next I fell to the ground, yes, I had a sun stroke, something I've had in the past but not like this, I felt dizzy my eyes were tightening and I couldn't take it I just said "I'm sorry to cut you short but I have to do this" and down I went but luckilly they were extremely helpful, I was offered seat and some water and my dear fellow DA (Democratic Alliance) friend who I had just met on the spot was happy and willing to take me home which of course he did, he was shocked by the distance in walking that I took just to get to Tippers Creak in order to register he assured me that I was definately passionate about the party and that I really would go to all lengths just to register, indeed I would too, anyway, I got home and rested my mother not shutting up about me having the sun stroke repeatedly saying "You're so anorexic, you've got to eat my child, you need to put some weight on, this is why you're collapsing low nourishment, less nutrients" but even so, I'm well nourished and moreover I keep in good shape it's not as if I'm abusing my body, no offence to those who are not thin especially in "Fat South Africa" if you want to frown down as thin people simply because they're not fat then go ahead, at the end of the day it's not me who's going to die aged 31 or 40 if I'm lucky due to obesity? I'm just trying to promote a healthy lifestyle to everyone because I don't want to see 10 year old kids overweight and the thought of them reaching to the age of 30 with heart failure just kills me with emotion because it's just not right in the slightest, I don't care about "fat in culture" that is just wrong but if people honestly think that you've got to be fat to be rich then that's their choice, I'm just suggesting the right way out, children especially, I'm not saying they should go cold turkey but they should be monitored everyday with what they eat, less sweet treats, more fruit and vegetables, less takeouts more nutriteous home cooking whether it be pizza, pasta, whatever, you can see what goes into the food and you can decide in portion what is right and what is suitable, portion everything to the limit even on serving plates don't simply place dishes in the middle of the dinner table and say "let's dig in" because one can never be sure how much a person is consuming whereas if you dish the right amounts of food on plates for all the family or for yourself then you can see for yourself if you get my logic, although I'm not really complaining I'm just suggesting these options as a gesture
Anyways my days in politics are not over, in fact, I would say they've merely even begun, however, I'm getting there, slowly but surely, I'm very optimistic and I will never ever give up on the Democratic Alliance, enough about them for now. My cousin is returning home from Johannesburg, yeah she totally jacked in her job after facing discrimination, I don't know how this possible but according to her it was this way, I don't ask questions anymore, my family come from a background of complainers all the time, even I get annoyed with them though I still love them hahaha, anyways yeah, so she'll be back here hopefully starting a course or getting a new job if so I want to work besides her then because I've got nothing to do these days in my own spare time, my things still haven't arrived from Netherlands, our furniture is taking a lifetime to reach this place and I don't know if I can take the strain anymore and by that I mean getting my things, I mean seriously, there's alot of sentimental value in most of the things I have, okay, okay all the things I have and I appreciate the things I have, I'm one of those who doesn't like to let go of things very easilly, yeah I know but it's a bad habbit these days with prices going up the roof it's difficult to hand things over or throw things away, obviously I don't collect garbage but I do file all my papers, my writings, I've even written a book, it's in a box somewhere on some ship heading my way I'll have to find it first but nevertheless I'm not going to let go of it I want to publish it later on in life when I've added the last chapter, but yeah, I'll just have to wait and see I suppose with what comes of my life.
