Moon Energy

Posted on by

The dust has settled after a week and I even heard an apology yesterday. It seems that whenever there is a full moon, things get heated at times. I do believe in the energy of the moon, the power of Chandra, the lunar effect, and normally I take some distance because I know things can get tricky, this time I forgot and only realised when it was already in progress and hurtful things were said and done. I try to be patient and sit out my time really, so I have been busy getting my life back, taking small steps.

I’ve set up my business bank account last Tuesday when I went over to my accountant to meet up with someone from the bank. All the papers are signed and filled in and all the questions are answered, it will be a matter of a few days before my account will be opened. I had to call MvdM. for some details while we were doing this and decided to go over to his place after my meeting. I had to give MvdM. his passport back and have him sign the last bit of paperwork. We ended up playing cards, a game called Bennies, which was fun although we still need to finish it…

I haven’t been feeling well this whole week and I guess it was caused by me being over-enthousiastic last weekend when I spent time with MvdM. and W. on Saturday. I was supposed to go there for a few hours so I brought chocolate cake and MvdM. provided coffee. I bought a nice orchid for W. because he has a new job [for Dior] at Harrods since a few weeks. And I ended up staying late… I was fine the next day, just really tired but of course I had to push my limits again since this girl only seems to learn the hard way constantly.

I went out that Sunday because I had to look for satin ribbon which I couldn’t find; I’ve been sewing a dress. I took my favourite dress apart and used it to make a new one. It’s a beautiful dark chocolate satin fabric and it’s almost finished, I only need a small hook and eye and some satin ribbon for the straps. So I had to go out and try to get these bits and pieces. But by the end of the day I was totally drained, ended up in bed at 17.00 and have been sleeping for six hours. I would like to finish the dress before next Thursday because I want to wear it that evening [More about that later this week].

I’m taking it slow still and haven’t done much this weekend, just relax a bit. I’m gonna try to get some rest so I’m off to bed now and leave you with a perfect gift of nature…

Lakeside

Posted on by

No hangover today! Just really tired. We went to a giant mall called Lakeside shopping centre with over 300 stores all under one roof. I bought some DVDs so I can test my DVD burner in my G5 and copy some stuff for Christiaan so I can send it off to the Lowlands. I also have been looking for a new sewing machine for a while but I couldn’t find anything for a decent price. I don’t need to do all the fancy stuff just mending clothes or redesign them.
I bought two dresses a while ago and A. didn’t really like them so I will change those to his liking; anything to please him *yeah right*. It won’t take much, I realise what’s wrong with the cut, it is somehow emphasising features that it shouldn’t emphasise. E.g. when I sit down, there is this balloon around my waist and up, which is blowing up because of the pleats that are positioned right above the stomach [too high]. It’s Asian style but I guess I’m a bit too tall compared to the average Asian woman so it looks a bit weird.
I reckon once I’ve fixed it it will look a lot better. No time to do this in the near future though because I need to work on my portfolio and website. Anyway I’ve finally found a decent sewing machine and I’m very very happy with it. It’s the first new one I bought. I had a second hand one before which was really 50’s and had a beautiful design but was way too heavy for me to carry so I left it in the Lowlands with my neighbour who was very pleased with it. I’ve found my new machine at Tesco’s super super store.
We also bought the DVD ‘The DaVinci Code’ and the first part of Lost because we’ve mist those. The DaVinci Code is a good movie. I don’t understand why so many people were against it I thought it was quite amusing to be honest. Anyway not much more to tell you to be honest so I’d better wrap it up. Speak later!
