<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">New Year, new resolutions, this year I am really going to try and keep
up with this blog, I really fell behind last year. This makes me so sad since
the blog is supposed to keep track of what I have done in my life, and so far
it just seems I discovered Doctor Who (Well that isn’t so bad, is it?)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">Looking at it, it sets guide lines on making the perfect New Year’s
resolutions. I know each year everyone says need to lose weight, etc. But these
they make you think.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">I already know what bad habit I am going to try and break (no I am not
sharing)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">Learn a new skill: My aunt and I have talked about this one, I am going
to learn a new language, I have family in Germany, and there are a lot of
countries in Europe where they speak German, so German it will be.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">Do a good deed: well this one will have to take some thought, and
planning, still working on it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">Visit a new place: I have an idea of where I want to go; just still need
to work out budgets (Will share as soon as it is official)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">Read a difficult book: This is a tricky one, because what is difficult
for me might not be difficult for everyone. So ideas will be useful<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">Write something important: Don’t laugh dear reader, but for a long time
I have had this plot in my mind, a story I have been working on but never found
the time to write it down, it might be a short story (a very short story) But I
am going to try and write it, who knows might even publish it here.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">Try a new food: well for those who know me you will know this is a very
touchy subject, I am not a picky eater but I never try something new. It’s
always the same stuff. So this will be hard<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">Take an important risk: This is a BIG one, for me this either means that
I have to fish or cut bait when my contract is up at the end of November, or
who knows something else might happen through the year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">I also plan on really sticking to doing book reviews with each book that
I read, and I have set a new goal of at least 30 books for the year. This is
pushing it since I didn’t make my 25 books goal last year, missed it with 4.
The last couple of books reviews will be up soon, still working on them. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA;">A friend and I
discovered a series that has been running for 50 years, we were determined on
catching up before the next new episode. What might this new series be, you
might ask? Doctor Who.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I must be very honest with you, I don’t watch Star Trek, Star Wars, Galactica
or any Sci-Fi series. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

saw the pins on pinterest (evil pinterest) and decided this looks cool, let’s
get some episode. After some research we decided on where to start, the revival
series that started in 2005. Entering into our lives as the 9<sup>th</sup>
Doctor was Christopher Eccleston. We fell in love with his witty remarks, his leather
jacket, and his companion Rose. We watched, it took over our lives, our jokes
started to revolve around the Doctor, our Pinterest boards started to fill up
with Doctor Who pins. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA;">We
cried when he regenerated into the 10<sup>th</sup> Doctor, portrayed by David
Tennant, my personal favourite Doctor, and yes if any Whovians are reading
this, I know we are not supposed to have favourites, but deal with it. We
cried, more than a normal person would ever cry about a television show. We
fought along with him, we learned his catch phrases: Allons-y, Brilliant and
aren’t you Beautiful, our hearts broke when Rose left, we were in denial when
Martha entered, laughed at Donna’s no nonsense attitude towards this very
attractive man, we cried when Donna was not allowed to have memories of him,
was depressed for days when 10 regenerated into 11. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA;">The
goofy, funny 11<sup>th</sup> Doctor is Matt Smith, and although I was in denial
and didn’t want to accept it, I learned to like Matt’s portrayal of this wonderful
timelord. His catch phrases: Geronimo, I wear a bowtie now, bowties are cool. We
loved the raggedy man, the ponds, and the impossible girl. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA;">We
watched until late night, we are scared of normal everyday things: angel statues,
gas masks, tally marks, forgetting.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA;">We
are determined to find the classic Doctor Who before the 50<sup>th</sup>
anniversary in November. We finally caught up and had to find out that the
wonderful Matt Smith has stepped down, and now a new Doctor will start in the
next series. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA;">We have a great friend that when we went to have coffee with him
and his wife on the night of the announcement of the new Doctor, was willing to
help us watch the announcement live, This is big since we live in South Africa
and most people haven’t even heard of this show. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA;">In the rest of my life,
I am still on the lookout for a permanent job, and since discovering Doctor Who
might even consider moving to England. Well let’s start smaller and a different
city might also work. I am now on a stage in my life where I really want to
start doing stuff that normal grownups do, I want to move out of my parents
place, I want to buy a car. Then I realise how many times I say I want (yes I
did watch princess diaries, and yes this was intentional) There are so many
other things I should want to give and not just receive. I am thankful for each
day, and I am so blessed. I mean, I started out on a contract position that was
only supposed to last 3 months and here we are almost 3 years later. I love my
job, and how many people can say this?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">This is a
brilliant portrayal of the last years of the Russian royal family in the
1916-1918. It is written in the perspective of the grand duchesses (Tatiana,
Olga, Maria and Anastasia); the writer, Sarah Miller, keeps your full attention
the whole time, and builds up the anticipation. She knows how to capture the
emotions of the princesses and pulling you into their world. Following them in
their imprisonment, their insecurities, being separated from their parents and
in the end their death. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

October 2012 we got up early to join the CANSA walk for Breast Cancer Awareness.
We arrived at about 7 in the morning, to sign up, get our t-shirts on and put on
our stickers. Then the wait started, I must say I was very impressed when we
started on time this year. Since most years they start late. So at 8 we started
the long 6 kilometre walk. When we decided to do this walk we thought we were
getting fit, with our gym and Zumba classes. So how hard can 6km really be? I
must say I got more than ¾ through the walk before I really thought I couldn’t go
any further. Luckily the last bit was kind of downhill, but I think this works
your legs more than the uphill part did, since you constantly have to stop
yourself from running. Must say my shins felt it the next morning </span></span><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Wingdings; font-size: 14pt; mso-ascii-font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-char-type: symbol; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-hansi-font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings; mso-themecolor: text1;"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol; mso-symbol-font-family: Wingdings;">J</span></span></span><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;"> <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

of my mom and sister; we thought we were going to finish last, and that
everyone will have to wait for us. We finished more or less in the middle and

choose to support the CANSA’s breast cancer projects you might ask? I know in
most women’s minds, breast cancer seems like a distant concern, something that
you don’t have to really think about. In our family it affected us directly. My
Gran was diagnosed with Breast cancer in 2007/2008, luckily for us my Gran is a
fighter and she survived, but many others in our family weren’t that lucky. I
always say, Breast Cancer is a bitch (sorry for the language), it takes hold of
your life, throws everything upside down, and then the news comes that you are
now <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">cured </i>or in remission, and then
when you least expect it, it comes back with a bang, bigger and worse than
before. This has happened in so many cases that our family has come in contact
with. Because of this we all hold up our breath when Gran goes to doctors,
praying daily that she will never have to go through this again. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

finished Ted Dekker’s book called Thr3e, this was an amazing book, and it kept
me hooked until the end. I literally could not put it down once I started. I
loaded the book onto my Kindle when we had to read it for book club; I did the
unthinkable, and put down all the other books, focusing only on this one
book...

<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">The book is about
Kevin, a seminary student, who gets a phone call as he is driving home from
school, informing him there is a bomb in his car, and that he has three minutes
to confess a sin and solve a riddle. He sees an open parking lot with an open
area next to it. He then barely escapes the car before the car blows up. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">Suddenly his world
is turned upside down; he needs to find out what the sin is he needs to confess
before the psycho Slater destroys everything that is close to him. Slater knows
things about Kevin, which he didn’t even tell Samantha, his childhood friend.
Slater demands Samantha should also join his little game. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">Jennifer is a FBI
agent on the track of the “Riddle Killer”, and as Slater’s work looks to be the
same as the Riddle killer she is assigned to the case. Slater’s riddles all
involve opposites and works in multiples of three’s. Jennifer feels she is
getting too involved with Kevin. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">The book builds up
and draws you, as reader in; you feel Kevin’s anxiety at having to reveal his
past to Samantha and Jennifer. You get mad when Slater stays one step ahead,
you feel Jennifer falling for Kevin. You feel sorry for Samantha when she “hands-over”
Kevin to Jennifer. You want to help Kevin. The book is brilliantly written, and
the ending is so unexpected. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">Since Kevin is a
seminary student, you can feel his trust in God, his inner conflict. This is a
great novel written for Christians. This is a great book and Ted Dekker really
did a fantastic job. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">So I had a busy
weekend, do you ever have those weekends were you wish that you can be two
people at the same time? Well this was one of those weekends. Normally we are
chilled over weekends, I usually go to work Saturday mornings and then we relax
the rest of the day. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">On Friday we had
our book club meeting, the book we were supposed to read (I am still not done
with it) is called Thr3e by Ted Dekker. So of course we thought a three course
meal will be very fitting for the occasion, So Maatje brought samoesa’s and
spring rolls with a sweet chilli sauce. Beate made the most amazing chicken
schnitzel with fried potatoes. I order cupcakes with a book on top for each
book we did and some extra ones with each person’s favourite book covers. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

a sushi evening with my other group of friends (memo to self might have to
introduce the whole bunch to one another, might solve some problems) we bought
premade Bean curd and decided to make Californian rolls. Since this was my
first time they went easy on me, and everything was cooked, I wonder if this
still counts as sushi ;) We had a great night, filled with laughs and of course
Chocolate chip ice cream (good thing Monday nights is Zumba nights, to burn off
the calories) <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

our Zumba class we went to my one friend for her birthday, we ordered 25
balloons since she turned 25 yesterday, and how many times do you get to turn
25? We have a birthday tradition were we give the person one balloon per year.
I think from next year on we will have to test our multiplication tables, 25 is

<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">I know this is a weird
post. On Wednesday the 26<sup>th</sup> of September we in Bloemfontein had an
exciting day. We got our own Makro store, for those who live in other parts of
the world. Makro is a partner with Wallmart (don’t know about the spelling) so
this is a BIG store with loads of stuff. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">So on Wednesday
morning we got up at 2 am to go and get into the queue to get into the shop
before work. Now some people might find this as extremely crazy. I felt a
little stupid, but we got into the shop at 7 and we were 10<sup>th</sup> in the
queue. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">They had awesome
specials my friend got a 32” tv for R1999. This is so cheap! I had two goals
set for myself, I wanted a PVR decoder for our dish and my one colleague asked
me to grab a CANON 500D that was marked down to R3999. I was done with my
shopping by 7:30 but had to wait for my colleague to bring his money. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">Have any of you
seen The Vow starring Channing Tatum and Rachel McAdams? My sister wanted to
see this movie in the cinema, but after I saw the trailer, I figured I did not
want a repeat of our The Notebook catastrophe. O yes you don’t know about our
Notebook episode. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">When The Notebook
was in the cinema, I think I was in about 10<sup>th</sup> grade, I am not sure
at this moment. A bunch of friends and I decided to go watch it. We did not
really know anything about the movie; we just figured it will be a great movie
to watch on a girl’s night out. So we bought our tickets, got some popcorn and
cold drinks, went into the movies all dolled-up, looking pretty. When the movie
was over we had to rush to the bathroom. Needless to say our mascara was all
over our faces instead of just on our eyes. We were about 6 girls and between
us, we had a tissue per person. We were not prepared for this movie. The best
part was getting to the bathroom and seeing that we weren’t the only girls who
were unprepared. The bathroom was filled with girls trying to fix their makeup.
We burst out laughing then. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">So you can imagine
my reluctance. So we waited for the DVD, which came out last Monday. We rent it
over the weekend. Let me tell you I was very glad we watched it at home. I
could pause and get more tissues. This movie is one of the best movies I have
watched in a while. The story was moving. I fell in love with Channing’s
character. This guy had to get his wife to fall in love with him, twice!<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

<span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">The movie is based
on the actual relationship between Kim and Krickitt Carpenter, who after being
married for 10 weeks they were in a car accident were Krickitt suffered brain
injuries, and Kim’s love was so deep that he had to make Krickitt fall in love
with him again, since she could not remember him, or their relationship. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

September we had Heritage day in South Africa. What this means to us as Afrikaners
(people who speak Afrikaans) it is BRAAI day (roughly translated Barbeque day).
So this means when you drive around town you will smell people lighting fires,
smelling the most delicious aromas of braaied meat.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

lodger and her boyfriend having a braai. They didn’t want to pose for a photo,
but they were still in their pj’s. It was so cute. <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>

braai until very late that afternoon, but we had lots of preparations. We made
potato salad, stuffed mushrooms, and a lovely green salad. My dad went crazy
and braaied a lot of meat, we still had left over’s until last night. Here is
some photo’s of the yummy food we had. </span></span><span style="mso-bookmark: OLE_LINK1;"><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 26pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;"><o:p></o:p></span></i></b></span></div>

to the office I switch on my computer, and get my sites for work going, next
step I log onto Pintrest and I keep this window open the whole day. Sometimes I
see the same thing over and over, but guess what, this does not bother me. I
love stumbling on new ideas, DIY projects, quotes and many more. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

were real treasures. You might remember my post on the crayon art back <a href="http://www.blogger.com/(http://pops-bitsandpieces.blogspot.com/2012/06/autumn-crayon-art.html)" target="_blank">here</a> </span><span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;"> and of course there was many failures. But this
makes me grow as a person. If you follow me on Pintrest you will see, I have my
wedding, friend’s baby showers and photo’s of my future family all planned out.
So to end this confession:<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">About two months ago we had to put our Boerbul to sleep, she had cancer
and after two operations we felt that she was in too much pain. This left us
with a crisis, with us living in South Africa, and having an open field behind
us, which provides a walk through for people; we need a big dog to help scare
burglars away. So introducing to the world. Our Leila, she is an 8 week old Labrador
and the one of the cutest dogs on earth, she is also very playful, and luckily
our year old Yorkie keeps her occupied. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">We had a casual day on 7 September. This means that you dress up
according to the theme of the year. This year it was pirates, sailors. So of course
we grabbed the opportunity to dress up as pirates. Since we in South Africa don’t
really have Halloween, we always look for the occasion to dress up. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">As I told you last week, I was admitted to hospital, this was not in my
planning, and this was also a horrible time for me since I thought we have
beaten this disease since I haven’t been ill in almost a year. As I have
mentioned before I have an illness in my leg called osteitis. It involves my
leg being inflamed, and pain, etc. don’t need to go into the details. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">So I phoned the doctor on the Monday and since he just got back from
leave he was busy that I could only get an appointment for Wednesday, but I was
in pain, so I decided to drop in late Monday afternoon to beg for a
prescription. Luckily I have a very kind (when he isn’t fighting) doctor and
got and OR time booked in less than 30 minutes for Wednesday (even before my
appointment time)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">Wednesday afternoon we pitched at the hospital to be admitted. My best friend
and sister in tow. Needless to say we sat in admissions for 2 hours waiting for
a bed, since I had to be in a private room because of the infection. I was
getting nervous because the time arranged was 2 o’clock and we still did not
have a bed. At 13:50 I was admitted into the children’s ward. The doctor was
already waiting and since I was supposed to get x-rays and blood work done and
none of those things was done. Told you my doctor is nice, except when he is
fighting with everyone. So I was operated on and later the afternoon I was
moved to the orthopaedic ward (my second home)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">I slept the whole day, only read when I could keep my eyes open, and of
course when friends came to visit. I think my doctor wanted to ensure that my
pain was managed and all the different concoctions made me very sleepy. I took some pictures with my phone when I was bored. </span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">The
hunger games originated after district 13 had an uprising against the Capitol
and then after destroying 13 the Capitol instated these “games” as a lesson to
the rest to ensure that they don’t also start an uprising. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">In
the first book titled The Hunger Games, Katniss takes her sister, Prim’s, place
when her name gets called in the Reaping. The other tribute from 12 is the baker’s
son Peeta. The tributes are then placed on a train and they are then
transported to the Capitol. On arrival they get a prep team who has to redo the
tributes and make them spectacular. They also have a mentor who was a previous
victor, the drunken Haymitch. On the first day of the games nearly half of the
tributes are killed and Katniss depends on her hunting skills to survive. While
Peeta is spinning the story of the star crossed lovers who will never be able
to be together thanks to the games. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">The
gamemakers announce that if the tributes can survive with their district
tribute both of them can survive. Katniss and Peeta join forces and fight to
the end. Until the shocking revelation that they won’t be spared. Katniss gives
Peeta and herself a handful of poisonous berries and they make to eat them,
when the gamemakers intervene and lift them out of the arena. They are treated
to a hero’s welcome, but this has also flamed the unrest already spreading
through the districts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">The
second book is called Catching Fire. Both of them receive considerable wealth
and are living in the affluent Victor's Village of the district; however, they
have rarely spoken since winning the Games, as Peeta realized that Katniss's
proclaimed love towards him was exaggerated at their mentor, Haymitch
Abernathy's, request in order to receive life-saving gifts from sponsors.
Katniss struggles to understand her feelings about Peeta and her best friend,
Gale, who kissed Katniss upon her return to District 12. As part of their
duties as victors of the Hunger Games, they are preparing to embark on a
"Victory Tour" to all districts within Panem. President Snow
announces that, for the 75th Hunger Games, as part of the "Quarter
Quell", a special edition of the Games every quarter-century, tributes
will be reaped from a pool of all living Victors of past Hunger Games.
Desperate to prepare, Katniss, Peeta and Haymitch begin training and studying
the winning tactics of past victors. Being the only living female victor from
District 12, Katniss is chosen for the Quarter Quell by default. When Haymitch
is chosen as male tribute, Peeta volunteers in his place to protect Katniss. The
new Games arena is a beach and jungle terrain with the Cornucopia located on a
small island in the center of a miniature sea. The arena resembles an analog
clock with one lethal event occurring every hour on a twelve hour cycle. At
night, the group splits to prepare for the plan, but is attacked separately by
the remaining tributes. Katniss is knocked out and has her tracker removed by
Johanna. Johanna then leads the two remaining careers away from Katniss. An
injured Katniss comes across Beetee, holding a knife tied to the wire and
appearing to have planned to direct the knife into the force field. Katniss
realizes the plan all along was to destroy the forcefield, and she directs the
lightning at the force field's control panel with an arrow tied to the wire,
destroying the force field and temporarily <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paralysis" title="Paralysis"><span style="color: windowtext; mso-ascii-font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-hansi-font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">paralyzing</span></span></a>
her. When she awakens, Katniss discovers she is being transported to District
13: a place widely believed to no longer exist. But to her horror she realises
Peeta was taken by the Capitol.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">The
last book is called Mockingjay, After her rescue by the rebels of District 13,
Katniss is convinced to become "the Mockingjay": a symbol of the
rebellion against the ruling Capitol. As part of a deal, she demands that the
leader of District 13, President Coin, grant immunity to all of the Hunger
Games victors, including Peeta, and that Katniss receives the right to kill <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/President_Snow" title="President Snow"><span style="color: windowtext; mso-ascii-font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; mso-hansi-font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; text-decoration: none; text-underline: none;"><span style="font-family: Verdana;">President Snow</span></span></a>,
the leader of Panem, herself. Katniss watches Peeta on television, and is
unable to cope with her guilt. Finally, District 13 leaders decide to rescue
Peeta, realizing that Katniss' guilt is impeding her role as "the
Mockingjay." After the rescue, it is discovered that Peeta has been
brainwashed into believing Katniss is the enemy, and he attempts to strangle
her during their reunion. Peeta gradually improves after much treatment and
therapy, including cake decorating. His childhood friend, Delly Cartwright,
helps with his recovery by retelling happy events in District 12. Soon, Peeta
recovers fully enough to train. The rebels and Katniss eventually set off on a
mission to the Capitol, and President Coin later sends Peeta with them in
replacement of another soldier, although his many scarred memories fuel his
rage. After the rebels conquer the Capitol and place President Snow on house
arrest, he informs Katniss that the final assault that killed Prim was ordered
by President Coin. Katniss realizes that if this is true, the bombing may have
been the result of a plan originally developed by Gale Hawthorne; however, Gale
denies his involvement. Katniss remembers a conversation with Snow, following
the 74th Annual Hunger Games, in which they agreed not to lie to each other.
Her suspicions plaguing her, Katniss banishes Gale from her life. When she goes
to execute Snow, Katniss realizes he was telling the truth and kills Coin
instead. A riot ensues and Snow is found dead, having possibly choked on his own
blood (laughing) or been trampled in the crowd. Katniss then tries to commit
suicide by swallowing a suicide pill sewn onto her suit before the campaign to
conquer the districts began (in case the Capitol captured her during one of her
missions), but Peeta stops her.</span><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span lang="EN" style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-ansi-language: EN;">In
the epilogue, Katniss speaks as an adult, twenty years later. She and Peeta are
married and have two children. The Hunger Games are over, but she dreads the
day her children learn about their parents' involvement in both the Games and
the war. When she feels distressed, Katniss plays a comforting but repetitive
"game," reminding herself of every good thing that she has ever seen
someone do. The series ends with Katniss claiming that "there are much
worse games to play."</span><span style="font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

because they were doing Zumba and I love it. But anyway, we went past my doctor’s
office on the way home and I told my mom to stop so we could just get a
prescription until my appointment on Wednesday. Lucky/unlucky me caught the

objections of his secretary he says he would take a look. Well the bad news is
I am going into hospital tomorrow, the good news is tomorrow this time I will
be blissfully under anaesthetics and the pain will be gone. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

here. So let me think what has happened in the past few weeks. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">I am currently looking for a new job since my contract is expiring end
of September. It’s a daunting task, not one I am used to and the fact that I
struck it good where I am currently. I mean how many people can say their first
jobs was this good. This scares me, since sometime it has to end, I might get
the worst boss in the world with my next job (Fingers crossed it doesn’t
happen)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

and have also watched a few fencing matches. I just wish I could be there. I
guess this time around I am watching it so avidly because we have family there.
My uncle lives in Sevenoaks a couple of minutes away from London. Wouldn’t mind
visiting them and seeing some events live, but alas it is too late. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">A couple of weeks ago, a good friend of mine listened to me complaining
that I am looking for a book to read that is different from the ones that I
usually read. Since I was stuck on a World War 2 period and all the books I
have read lately was based on that time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">At first I thought she is crazy, this is not my type of book, since it
was fantasy based and I usually like more real scenario books. Well except for
Harry Potter and Twilight saga. I found it an easy read. Brandon Mull has the
way to transfer you into this world. Where you want to get up and actually help
fight Maldor, and protect all the people of Lyrian. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt; text-align: justify;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">The book starts where a prince is captured and blinded by Maldor; the
prince then utters a WORD. A magic word, that can destroy Maldor, but alas this
was a decoy Maldor. The prince is offered a chance to join Maldor or be
tortured. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">Jason is a teenager from Colorado; he is bored by his predictable life. Until
he has a not so predictable work day at the zoo. He falls into the hippo pool,
and is swallowed. The next thing he knows he climbs out of a tree in a
different world. On his quest to get back home, he meets the Blind King who
introduces him to Rachel who is also a beyonder. They start the quest together
to find the syllables to the WORD that can destroy Maldor. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">They go through difficult tasks to find the syllables. They meet
displacers who can lose their limbs, and still life. They meet seed people who
carries around an Amar, their seeds, this means they can grow again after they
died. Jason got invited to the eternal feast, where he had to duel to be able
to leave. Jason then goes to Mador’s palace and requests an audience with him. He
then utters to word to Maldor. It does not work. Maldor has deceived his
enemies all those years. There is no WORD that can destroy Maldor. Jason is
then thrown in the dungeons after refusing to join Maldor. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">Ferrin one of the displacers Jason met on his voyage, who is one of
Maldor’s henchmen, helps Jason to escape. He then shows him a way home, when
Jason wants to go help Rachel and warn her, Ferrin pushes him into the pool,
and Jason emerges back on earth, on a farm. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">This is the first book of the series. I am currently looking for the
next one. This was a good change of scenario for me. It did take me a while to
get used to the style of writing since I am a dedicated Jody Picoult fan. But when
it finally captured me, it was a great book. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

last so long, and actually have some readers. Thank you. As you probably saw by
now my blog does not follow normal patterns, I write about whatever takes my
fancy. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">Today my post is about the weather here. As you might know in South
Africa it’s winter now. Usually it is pretty chilly here, but not this year. We
have extremes. It is either extremely cold or mild spring weather. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">Well last week we had really cold weather. I had to scrape the ice of
the car. The weather was perfect. I love it when it’s that cold, especially if
you have a day off and can just spend the day with your family. We snuggled
under blankets, read books, played some games. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">So last night we went out on a family date. This doesn’t happen very
often since my parent work and then they don’t want to go out or there isn’t
anything showing all of us want to watch. So last night it was a tossup between:
What to expect... and Madagascar. But since our local cinema we usually go to have
a special on Wednesdays if you are a club member we thought maybe we should go
and see Madagascar, since it will be much cheaper. But alas their system was
down so no cheap 3D movies for the van Heerden family. Since we had some
Wednesday Spur special tickets I ended up paying only for 2 of the 4 tickets.
Score! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">The movie was very funny. I especially liked Cameron Diaz and Anna
Kendrick. I liked her in Twilight Saga, but in this movie she really showed she
can be in big roles. Elizabeth Banks was also amazing. She got to play the lady
that everything goes wrong with. She gets all the symptoms, and she has a
terrible meltdown at a conference. It was incredibly funny. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">There is also a gang of boys in the movie which gets the dads ready for
fatherhood. They walk in a park and gives advice, and share secrets about what
they have done wrong with their children. I loved the scene where they walk and
try and look cool. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">I would definitely recommend this movie to anyone. In my book it gets a
solid 4 out of 5 stars.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">At our house we have a lot of DVD’s and I mean a lot. We collected them
over the years and every Saturday evening when there is nothing on television,
as it usually happens we have a BIG fight about what to watch, since each one
in the family has their favourites. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">So a couple of months ago we came up with the brilliant idea. Each one
picks two of the movies they really want to watch, write them on a piece of
paper, throw them in a bowl, on shakes the bowl and draws the winning movie.
This way no one can say they never get to watch their movies. Sometimes if we
are in the mood on a Sunday we will draw another movie from the remaining
ballots. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

great as the evil queen. And of course her being an ex-South African also helps

she needs to do is take the youth of young beautiful woman. She marries the
Snow Whites father and kills him on their wedding night. She then makes it look
like an attack on the castle, and hides Snow White in the dungeon. After the
queen ‘takes’ another beautiful girls youth, she turns to her mirror and asks
the age old question “Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the fairest of them
all?” the mirror then replies that on this day there is one other who is
fairest of them all, and that she will either be the queens downfall or the key
to eternal youth. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">I know I haven’t blogged in a long time, so here is a quick recap of
what has been going on around here. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">We went bowling a couple of Sundays ago (to be exact my dad’s birthday) At
first I was really sceptical, our family do not do games very well, I could
already picture my sister sulking, my dad mad as hell and me trying to keep
everyone happy. Well my feeling was almost right. On Sundays this place has a
special, instead of paying R40 you pay R25 on Sundays, but you need to buy two
games. This works out great. Since the first one is more a warm up game, and
getting the feel. Since this was our first time we played. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">It was really entertaining, my dad loved it. He really got in the groove
and thrashed us. I think it’s his new favourite past time. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">I have recently finished reading a wonderful book, The Book Thief by
Markus Zusak. When I first saw the book at our local book shop I didn’t like
the cover, so I must admit I do judge a book by its cover. When everyone in
Book club agreed to read this book at first I was very sceptical, thinking I
won’t like it. Then I opened the book...<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">It is set during World War 2 in Nazi Germany; Markus Zusak novel is told
by Death, he remembers one girl that stood out over the years. The then tells the
story of Liesel Meminger, a foster child living in a small town outside of
Munich. Liesel travels with her mother and brother to their new foster family.
On the journey her brother dies and they bury him in a small town she doesn’t
even know the name. She then steals her first book, the gravedigger’s handbook.
She arrives on Himmel Street where she is handed to her new mother and father. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">She has terrible nightmares about her brother, and wakes up screaming,
Hans her foster father then comforts her in the nights by sitting with her
until she falls asleep again. After a couple of nights he decides they might as
well do something productive with the waking hours and he starts to teach her
how to read using the gravedigger’s handbook. This starts her love for books,
and she starts stealing books, the second book she steals is from a bon fire
made by the Hitler Youth burning books that belonged to Jews.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Comic Sans MS"; font-size: 14pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-ZA; mso-themecolor: text1;">She shares her books with her neighbours during bombing raids as well to
a Jewish man, hiding in their basement. The book is a wonderful twist on the
usual World War 2 books, by using Death as the Narrator. There are a couple of
quotes from the book that I love. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
