Sugar Rush

Posted on by

I should be doing tests but I feel drained this very moment and I know exactly why… I’m on a sugar rush… I feel stupid because I’ve just eaten half a carton of Quaker Cruesli while I never eat that stuff plus I normally avoid any kind of sugar. I just couldn’t help myself and had to try the latest kind of Cruesli: coffee, chocolate and speculaas and wow, it’s seriously sweet but delicious *hehe* and seriously expensive too *lol*!

I bought a carton yesterday because I liked the design and so the advertising gimps tricked me into buying it. I feel stupid because I fell for their marketing and branding crap, moreover I fell for those three mouthwatering words: coffee, chocolate and speculaas. The perfect combination to something you’d wish to have on a rainy winter’s day when it’s cold and windy out there and you’re in need of something full of sweet flavours…

Oh and full of sweetness it is! I’m so high on sugar right now that I’m seriously thinking about having a kip… The bittersweet punishment of giving in. I really really needed to get some stuff done today and here I am, OD-ing on flavours: thanks Quaker! *not* Well I guess that’s today’s lesson… In about thirty minutes my favourite TV show starts so I’ll have that kip and will postpone the tests till after the show when I’m all bright again…

Quaker I curse you for tricking me the way you did… (but between you and me: I’m more upset with myself for being such a silly cow *wink*)

*yawn*

Watch Time…

Posted on by

My brother came to visit over the weekend along with the kids. He has a pretty high position at a major manufacturer of cars and heavy duty trucks. His daughter -my niece (3 yrs old)- came to me at some point and gave me a beautiful heavy white square box with a logo: it was a gift. I had no idea what it was until I opened the gorgeous box.

All of a sudden I remembered a conversation I had with my bro last time he came over. I’d noticed his beautiful watch and told him that I wouldn’t mind spending money on one like his. At the age of ten my parents bought me a beautiful tiny watch but somehow it must have been cursed, I’ve never gotten it to work properly…

I bought watches over the years but didn’t really use them. If someone asks me what time it is I normally can tell by looking at the sky or sun. I’m pretty accurate too because of years of training *wink* so I didn’t need one. My brother’s watch was something different, I absolutely adore the design: it reminded me of my sleek Powerbook.

So I was astonished to find this beautiful exclusive branded watch inside the box that was given to me by my niece. You can’t just buy these, they’re corporate gifts. This one is also a men’s watch because I like ‘big’ sizes *hehe* It has a genuine leather band and I wear it on the inside of my arm (for protection): just like my dad used to.

I think the watch is awesome and I think I have a pretty awesome brother too *hehe*

Isn’t it gorgeous?

I so love the design!

Black leather band, watch is heavy! *hehe*
