Come Whatever May

OppiKoppilicious

2012-08-07T08:58:00.000+02:00

The time has come, the time for the BEST music festival in South Africa, its OPPIKOPPI time baby. Every year over the long weekend of Women's Day, we get to celebrate being awesome women by attending OppiKoppi. 9th - 11th of August.

This will be my 2nd Oppikoppi, my first experience was the Wildcard in 2008. If I could get my way I would be leaving for Oppi tomorrow, so that we can get an awesome campsite etc, but sadly we cant.

So we are set to leave on Thursday morning, I am so excited to be spending this weekend with such amazing people.

The line-up is pretty AMAZING as well.

There are 20 000 people attending Oppi this year, so I really do believe that this year is going to be THE BEST.

So amped, I could pee my panties....hee hee

Sum Up of Life....

2012-08-01T10:19:00.001+02:00

Wow, I haven't blogged in a while. Life has been so busy. My friend and I arranged to fly our dear friend Aislinn up from Cape Town for her 21st, WHAT A BLAST. Went camping for a weekend, then it was all the planning for my dear friends Bach party, the party has come and gone, and was a great success. Been partying way to much and shopping even more.

Last weekend, some friends and I went to watch a roller derby game, OMW...what an awesome sport. I so would love to be a derby girl, so I think I might just look into it, they do want to start a team in my hood. So I am keen.

Some photo's to sum up where I have been.

Met some awesome new people, YAY....loving new people. Whoooo its been awesome.

Today's song of the day is Bombay Bicycle Club. This four piece band hails from London, I came across them awhile ago via Youtube and recently I have seen many people talking about them, so I think they should be featured in my own Song of the Day.

Enjoy.

Let´s look at the world a little differently. Lets not only see the bad, but lets see the good in the world too.

I love this, make my heart smile with JOY.

30 Days of Me - Day 22

2012-07-05T18:58:00.000+02:00

The topic for today is 'What makes you different from everyone else'

Mmmm....so what does make me different from everyone else? I guess just being ME makes me different already.

I am a very true, down to earth person. I have been told that I care to much and sometimes with that I can get hurt very quickly. I always put others first and always try to make everyone happy, only the people that deserve to be in my life will see that though. I protect everyone that I care for, I'm very crazy and unique. I try to make the most of life. I like to surround myself with positive energy. I recently heard that I am quiet funny *GIGGLES*

I see the world differently and by that, I like to think I can change the world.

Wishes and Stars

A night with four Engineers...

2012-07-03T10:23:00.000+02:00

A few weeks ago I went to Vanderbijlpark to spend some time with my dear friend B. I forgot my camera at B's place and finally got it back this past weekend.

Spending the day with four engineer's and being the only girl is quiet interesting I must admit. We tried to fish (sadly didn't catch anything due to the freezing weather), make a fire and keep warm under many blankets.

It was my first fishing experience and even though I did not catch anything I really felt like a pro.

Lost....

2012-06-12T11:03:00.000+02:00

This past Saturday I took a mini road trip to Vanderbijlpark to spend some time with my B, whom I still care for....it never ends I tell you. Anyways, it was a great day. I took so many photo's and was going to write a mini blog about my mini road trip...but sadly, I had to go leave my camera at B's place *Sad Face*. I seriously feel so lost with out my camera.

So as soon as I get my camera back I will continue with this blog and show you what I got up too. Its going to be called "Four guys and a girl"

Here is a sneak peak...

Much LOVE

Imagine....

2012-06-12T10:49:00.000+02:00

I would say that I came across this awesome band but I would be lying, my best friend sent me this link last week and I have fallen in LOVE with this band from Las Vegas. Imagine Dragons video to "It's Time" is such an amazing video and makes me smile every time I watch it, and that's about 5 times a day since I received the link last week. I am CRAZY about this band. Imagine Dragons is a four piece indie rock/pop band, which consists of Dan Reynolds (Vox), D. Wayne Sermon (Guitar), Daniel "Z" Platzman (Drums), Ben McKee (Bass). Their first EP has been released and is called 'Continued Silence'.

Download "It's Time" from their FB page here.

Call Me Maybe

2012-06-08T10:05:00.001+02:00

'Call Me Maybe' is a Carly Rae Jepsen's track which is OK. Listen to this cover and you will fall in LOVE. Ben Howard can sing anything and I will be smiling. What an amazing voice.

Enjoy xxx

This past Sunday a bunch of us went to Park Acoustics for two of my dear friends birthdays. I was meant to study all day but I decide its my two best friends birthday celebrations, so I studied for two hours and headed to Fort Schanskop to watch Shotgun Tori, Lauire Levine, The Plastics, Shadowclub and to chill out with my people.

It was a wonderful day.

Bullet For My Valentine has been confirmed for Oppikoppi this year, even though they aren't my ALL TIME favourite band, its still pretty epic.

Whooooooo... I can not wait.

Study Break = Baking

2012-05-14T11:14:00.001+02:00

I start writing exams on the 18th of May, and this weekend for a little study break I decided to bake some muffins....YUMMY. Sadly I didn't make the cappuccino muffins from scratch, but at least I tried *giggles*

YUMMY

Photo Shoot

2012-05-10T12:26:00.000+02:00

A while ago my brother and I went for a photo shoot for my Mother. It was a fun experience, but I must say the photographer is amateur and the photo's didn't come out too great. I even edited the photo's a little so they could look slightly better. Thank goodness my Mother only paid R200.

Free Hugs

2012-05-08T22:39:00.001+02:00

Lets all just be happy and give out free hugs.
