Skinny Bitches in the Makinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07621485732690856755noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133701282339825591.post-40117030676072122452014-12-29T16:10:00.001-08:002014-12-29T16:10:05.768-08:00Dear Future Boyfriend Part FifteenOh FB, I'm not gonna lie. I have become a grumpy single. Trust me this is not how I wanted things to turn out. I used to be the happy single. I was like the fun friend who didn't mind hanging around couples. I loved hearing about engagement stories and wedding planning. I was a joy to be around. And I hardly ever bemoaned my marital status. Because I always had faith that you were out there.<br />
<br />
Then something changed. I'm guessing everyone who is single for an extended period of time goes through this phase. You're all happy-go-lucky and then suddenly there's an onslaught of Facebook couples, the ex you were always sure was a backup plan suddenly moves in with someone and you start wondering when did everyone move on with their lives and you're the last one on the single bus.* Then you realise it was probably when you were staying home for the third consecutive weekend on a Netflix and pizza binge.**<br />
<br />
So instead of just getting on with life and waiting for things to happen as they should. I decided to conduct some research. By research I mean go on a lot more dates. I thought I'd help fate along. Instead of getting more exciting about the prospects out there, it made me a little sad. And a grumpy gills. The thing is, despite being a bit of a realistic I still hold out hope for that everlasting love, that constant butterflies in my stomach feeling. That ooh la la. I did not find it yet.<br />
<br />
To be fair, many of these guys were great. Some were dicks. But the truth was, I was going into every new date with very unrealistic expectations of love. I'm not talking disney expectations which are next level. I'm talking about other pieces of media that made me believe.<br />
<br />
And so I'd like to present to you, some movies, tv shows and comics that have given me unbridled hope and made me the way I am today. I apologise in advance for my attitude and for the reaction gifs.***<br />

<b>Sex & the City</b></div>
<br />
This is a great show. It is very real. In most parts. We'll ignore how Carrie manages to live so lavishly on a writer's salary or the designer clothes. The situations and men they come across are very real. I have experienced some very similar situations that makes me paranoid. But what really got me was this statement from Big:<br />

This is a great sentiment. But it's all lies. Like seriously. Lies. I have heard many women say this when looking for a partner. I have heard zero men say this is the number one quality they look for. Which kills me because I have jokes for days. Because of this line, I always assumed this would beat out a thigh gap. I can tell you from very personal experience, the thigh gap always wins.</div>

<b>X-men</b></div>
<br />
I love X-men. I love Gambit. Like you known when most girls were getting turned on by Aladdin and other Disney princes, I had that same reaction to Gambit. And one of the things I really loved about him was his relationship with Rogue. Here was a girl who couldn't touch another person and he still loved her and (and this is the important one) he stuck around. Sure they had their ups and downs and obviously this would change depending on which canon/generation/series you were following but the one I am a fan of, they stay together.<br />

<br />
I know there are many guys who are willing to wait and are okay with not doing adult stuff. These guys rule! 100 points for these guys. I also know there are just as many guys, probably more who will not stick around. And I know there are girls who won't either. After years of watching X-men and shipping this pairing my outlook has been ingrained with a guy like Gambit. He's cocky, a bit of a douche but he has this one redeeming quality that I love. Which is probably why when searching for a guy who values other things above physical stuff I actively ignore all the other crazy signs. I feel this one's on me and I am working on my issues.<br />

<b>What's Your Number</b></div>
<br />
This is one of those movies not everyone was a fan of. I thought it was hilarious. The gist is Anna Faris does not want to sleep with any more guys so she goes looking for her future husband through her list of exes. Chris Evans is her neighbour who is half naked a lot of time and helps her. Naturally they end up together. And he has no issues with her number.<br />

My problems with believing a movie like this...no one's neighbour is a hot guy who answers the door starkers. I have lived on my own for several years. My neighbours have always been older women. Not even a nipple slip. Also I have never heard of a guy who embraces a girl's number. I've met several guys who will embrace it for a night but who marry those girls, pffftt.<br />

Not only does this provide someone with unrealistic expectations of how much fun you can have at work all the time, it says that your perfect soulmate could be right under your nose. Have you ever taken a long hard look at the people you work with and realise one of them is who you will end up marrying. No thanks! This show is irresponsible.<br />

One of my reasons for coming to Canada was to experience a white Christmas. Sadly I choose the wrong city to do that in. There has been a bit of snow but on the whole Christmas in Vancouver is pretty much like Cape Town. Today for example, the sun is out. It's still crazy cold though. Like next level cold for an African.<br />

Like Elsa, the cold never bothered me anyway. I was and still am very excited to try and experience as many things about a cold Christmas as I could. That includes The Vancouver Christmas Market. This is one of those things I have been dreaming about. I was picturing little stalls, carolers, mulled wine (which I don't drink but it sounds festive) and happiness.<br />

I have to say, the market was a little underwhelming. It was pretty and there was carolers and mulled wine but that was about it. The stalls were good, lots of good food, all very German but not enough to wow me. The rest of the stuff was pretty much what you'd see at any other market, just several times over and totally overpriced for my liking. Also all the peeps dealt in cash which is ridiculous. Yes there were atms but the struggle. I'm in Canada now I can complain about First World Problems.<br />

I tried to remain calm. But secretly I was aching to leave to see if it was true. And it was!<br />
<br />
Coming from South Africa, I have never seen snow. We have it but we have never crossed paths. Although for as long as I remember I have dreamed of it happening. I feel the same way about Michael Fassbender.<br />
<br />
Once outside I have never been happier. Well at that moment, I couldn't remember a time when I was happier. I think this picture says it all.<br />

From the movies I was expecting soft blankety snow that fell around my face and sounded like angels singing. What I got was frozen raindrops that melt as soon as they touch you. But I didn't give a shit, snow really is magical. And I loved it. When though I arrived home wet and cold with my hair frizzing, it was worth it.<br />

One of my favourite childhood memories was the Mighty Ducks movies. Here was an amazing trilogy that had humour, family values, eye candy (a pre-Pacey Joshua Jackson), intense sporting rivalries and of course ice hockey. Growing up in South Africa, all we had was field hockey. And like most things foreign and out of reach, ice hockey seemed exciting and something I needed in my life.</div>

Skinny Bitches in the Makinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07621485732690856755noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133701282339825591.post-60363033971678716162014-11-10T12:57:00.000-08:002014-11-10T12:57:04.597-08:00My Canadian Bucket List: PoutineIn France it's croissants, in Japan it would be sushi, in Chicago deep dish pizza, in Canada it's all about the poutine.<br />
<br />
Put simply, this is a dish comprised of french fries, gravy and cheese curds. It can be dressed up or down but either way, this is probably number one when it comes to comfort food.<br />
<br />
I've heard that really good poutine can make you question all of life's decisions; really bad poutine can make you hate life. For this reason I resisted trying it until I found the right place. Then one day, out to work with my coworkers, I ordered a cheeseburger with poutine on the side. Shit got real.<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
When it arrived, it seriously looked decadent and inviting. I am a big fan of carbs. Seriously, I will twerk/cut/kill for carbs. So it didn't take long before I dived in.<br />
<br />
And it was soooo good. Seriously. I fell in love and I ate the entire thing while my poor burger sat there unloved. If someone told me this was why Canadians are so friendly I'd believe them. It was really that good.<br />

I foresee many winter nights with homemade poutine. Or probably store bought poutine because let's get real. Apart from giving you the foodie equivalent of a hug, this would also be the ultimate drunk food and the ultimate break up food. In fact I kinda want some boy to treat me really badly so I can overdose on poutine.<br />

...you
change as a person. This can be in a multitude of ways. For me, I have
been able to say what I want and to stand up for yourself. I have been
able to speak up when things are not working out or when I'm not happy.
I've always been a "don't rock the boat" type of person so this is a
whole 180 for me. And it feels good. Without it sounding swarmy or
cheesy, you realise your worth and that when you're undervalued you need
to speak up or step out or seek changes.</div>

...time is very
important. Never underestimate how little we all have. When you're only
faced with a year you realise weeks, months, days matter in a way they
never could. You can't take months to make decisions, you can't let
shitty moods take over your entire week and cloud it, you can't stay or
do things in the hope that stuff just needs time to get better. <br /></div>
...you
will miss your family and friends and your whole previous life in
varying ways. There are times when I have a bad day and realise I have
no one here that will be there for me no matter what in the way your
family is "obligated" to. There are times when I wish I could be
transported back to my old flat, my old room, even my old car to just
feel like things are going to be alright. There are times when all you
need are the arms of a familiar friend to wrap around you, tell you you
are loved and make you feel okay.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This entry should be about The Fair at the PNE and *also* the Game of Thrones exhibition. When I think about a fair, I think rides, candy floss, bad burgers and stalls. The fair over here is all that except for the exhibition, a market place where they sell all that shit from TV and you have to pay extra for the rides. So since my main motivation was the GoT thang, that was all I aimed for.<br />
<br />
To begin, I started working full time when the exhibition started. In retail, that means working erratic hours and impossible to plan shit. So I had the very last two days to actually go and see the exhibition. On the second to last day, I was told it was sold out. Not that there was an additional cost but because there were time tickets and there were too many people. Which meant I had to queue up an hour before the gates actually opened on the last day of the fair which also coincided with a national holiday. It was fun.<br />
<br />
Luckily my determination too see the exhibition and sit on the iron throne was at an all-time high so I queued with families, screaming babies and other nerds. We were let in early and because they limit the amount of people, you could enjoy the exhibition without being rushed.<br />
<br />

Naturally I made a beeline for the iron throne. And I like to be believe I look like a boss who could control Westeros.<br />

<br />
Afterwards I went into the line for the 4D simulation thing. In this 'ride' you get locked up in a cage, get earphones and weird goggles and believe that you are really ascending the wall. There's cold weather and everything, you shiver. Then when you get to the top, you get attacked with a fire arrow and fall down. Down the wall. It scares the bejesus out of you. People shout out loud. I was strong enough to keep my screams in or rather the staff were too polite to tell me I didn't scream.<br />

Then I finally got a chance to see the rest of the exhibition. Even if you're not a die-hard fan, this shit is amazing. The costumes for one are next level. It will not believe the details up close. You're not allowed to touch them obviously but you don't need to appreciate the craftmanship.<br />

The only bleh moment was the gift shop. As it was the last day I expected the dregs but what was left was really crappy. Not to mention ka-ching. Now all of Canada is ka-ching but these were pretty ridiculous. Not all geeks are software developers with spare money.<br />

They've always been something I wanted to try and finally I got the chance. Not gonna lie I was also apprehensive. It's pumpkin spice in a coffee. How does that work? I have recently started to add nutmeg to my pumpkin and butternet savoury dishes...this was gonna be a whole other world.<br />
<br />
But 100 million white girls can't be wrong. So I ordered one and got super excited, took a pic, uploaded it to my social media accounts and then finally took a sip. And then I fell in love.<br />

The first thing I loved about it? The smell, it reminds me of baked goods. The second was the cream; cream is a bad word to me. Not because I don't like it but because I love it and I'd like to add it to everything. But because I have a teeny bit of will power, I hardly ever allow myself to have it. Until now.<br />
<br />
The latte is amazing. I don't care if that makes me mainstream. It's delicious and it gives you warm fuzzies. The only problem I had is that it's very sweet. Something I learnt can be rectified by my white girl friends. You just ask for it half sweet and voila! No diabetes!<br />
<br />
Ex-Oh! Ex-Oh!<br />

I don't know anyone who hasn't heard of them.<br />
<br />
They're one of those things that are also so famous or rather infamous that you or maybe it's just me kinda forget that they have a purpose. They're not just there to be a cultural thang.<br />
<br />
They're like legit real police.<br />
<br />
Since I don't plan on doing anything illegal or having anything bad happen there was little chance of me seeing them. Until I went to the Pride Parade.<br />

<br />
Quick side note, Pride here is all about the companies, organisations and groups showing how they support all people regardless of their sexuality and orientation. Canadians really are that nice. So there were representatives from all the civil groups at Pride including the police, the fireman, politicians, companies, etc.<br />

I suppose I wouldn't be myself if I didn't.<br />
<br />
So as briefly mentioned, Tim Hortons is a chain here. They started in 1964 and I see them everywhere. I see a lot of people carrying their coffees so I assumed it would be delicious. I also know they're the main coffee brand in the rest of Canada, but here in Vancouver, most people prefer Starbucks.<br />
<br />
So one morning after doing some room-viewing, I found myself in a Tim Hortons. Their menu is good. Their food is good; especially the breakfast stuff and the Timbits which are little bits of heaven. Their coffee? I was not in a happy place.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
First I thought it was the type of coffee I ordered; a drip/filter one. So then I ordered a latte. I was so pleasantly surprised by the amazing price I almost ignored how bad it tasted. To me it was really bad. Not un-drinkable but definitely not my first choice.<br />
<br />
Since then, I have had their frozen coffee which is pretty good. I'm not sure what they're doing to their other version. I've also had their frozen lemonades which are amazing. And I've pretty much worked my way through their food menu. So technically's Canada Favourite is okay.'<br />

Yay for me, I survived a month in a new city without a job
and friends. Disclosure, it’s a few days short of a month but 29 Days In just
doesn’t have the same ring to it. Also I make I sounds as if the city I moved
to has been taken over by a zombie army hellbent on killing me with no running
water and no other survivors. </div>

I probably could not have picked a better place to try this
whole year abroad thing. First of all, everyone is friendly and lovely.
Secondly it’s a bonafide First World Country which means luxuries for days.
Thirdly, it’s summer which just makes everything better. And finally I’ve been
working my ass off so I’m kinda reaping a bit of what I sowed. </div>

To begin…I have sent out 74 job applications in the month I
have been here. I have joined five temp agencies/recruiters. I have been on 23 interviews including three
group interviews which are the worst thing ever. I’m not sure why they are a
thing. I have walked from one end of the city to the other in a blazer trying
to look professional but merely looking sweaty and red-faced. I have printed a
gazillion copies of my resume and references and I can now school people on my
cover letter skills.</div>

So after all that, I can say that I am on my first temping
assignment and it’s all going well. I am enjoying not perusing Craigslist daily
for a new job (until the assignment ends and then I’ll be bookmarking that
shit) and it’s great to feel productive. Before this my only achievement was
not eating junk food. As is life, I've also be contacted for more interviews
while on this placement. Obviously I cannot go which means the universe is just
taunting me again. Like that time I thought I had lost weight but my jeans
actually just stretched.</div>

<o:p> </o:p>This job couldn't have come at a better time. Vancouver is
very expensive. That’s all aspects of Vancouver. If you’re willing to shop
around, you can definitely be smart about saving money. But housing and
transport will kill you. The transport is great here. The trains are fast and
always on time. The buses are mostly always on time. And they’re a bit more
confusing. But I’m making my way. I am started to worry when it gets colder or
wet. I’m not so sure I’ll be lamenting the joys of the public transport then.
Unless you’re really lucky, you need public transport to and from your place of
work. This is where the costs creep up on you like a dodgy guy at a club. The
nice thing is once you move to the right Zone, you will be saving daily. The
bad news is there’s just no way around the cost though.</div>

So apart from being a working girl, I also moved. My dream
was to live Downtown. The rents crushed that dream. Unless of course I was open
to sharing a room, literally living in a living room or in a closet (no joke) I
was not going to be able to afford it on my savings. So I started to look
around (never giving up hope on that Downtown dream though) and I found
cheaper, worse, okay, better and nicer places. </div>

Some of them had weird rules,
others were a health hazard. But in the end I found a great house with other
people from around the world. It’s close to the trains, the neighbourhood is
pretty and the WiFi is included. I just need a moment to discuss the amount of
available WiFi in this city. I love walking past all the places I've visited

Skinny Bitches in the Makinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07621485732690856755noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133701282339825591.post-6654389301147770382014-07-25T16:09:00.003-07:002014-07-25T16:09:36.785-07:00An Update......So here are how things are in Canada. Different is not even the word. I've included some pictures of Vancouver throughout the post.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The Job Situation</b></div>
<br />
So there seems to be lots of jobs available in Vancouver. Even more if you are like me and are not picky. At the moment, I am still not used to this whole not working thing and need something to keep me going. I much prefer lounging around all day if I know my bills are paid. So I have exhausted Craigslist and applied for all things my experience allows me to try out for. I also applied for minimum wage jobs as well as junior jobs and many jobs that I have no experience in but that I think I'd be great at.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPIDDINEbgqtI3M3dbs62swToz4Z6DxkDsffqBQMVPOPQqFe_MKlAk2lbkPPxGt0Bw6AC6qnrtsVi4inDdqonrSJoCIoXGIahmpVa4-vqGsHlmzwqwTyRi5ZzR5dK8A-K20HAAimcA9BY/s1600/IMG_2747%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhPIDDINEbgqtI3M3dbs62swToz4Z6DxkDsffqBQMVPOPQqFe_MKlAk2lbkPPxGt0Bw6AC6qnrtsVi4inDdqonrSJoCIoXGIahmpVa4-vqGsHlmzwqwTyRi5ZzR5dK8A-K20HAAimcA9BY/s1600/IMG_2747%5B1%5D.JPG" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Canadian employers do not think I'm that great. Or if they do, they are very subtle about it. By subtle I mean, you do not hear any feedback. I am close to 50 job applications in the two weeks I have been here, I have probably heard back from 7. And hearing back sometimes is a phone interview which is a precursor to an actual interview. Getting the actual interview is a whole other ball game. Never ever will I be unappreciative of the simple "Your application has not been successful." automated email. At least that gives me closure.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The only way I handle all of this while remaining positive (because I have literally only been here for 18 days and it's not the worst thing ever) is my years of experience dealing with boys who never get back to me. I have been on many dates with guys where I feel I show off my impressive pop culture knowledge, my amazing jokes (this one's debatable) as well as all my great wife material skills. And then after a few days I hear zilch from the boys. At first I wonder why, why, like seriously why not. I'd date the hell out of me. I have friends and gay guys who would all want a piece of this but not this guy. And then I get super mad at the boy. How dare this simple boy who isn't even that cute reject me. Does he not know how lucky he would have been to have this on his arm. I could have rocked his world. And then I use a lot of four letter words and curse the day he was born. Then I get a little sad and then I realise, screw it, I have other shit to worry about.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So at the moment, I still apply to all jobs and I only spend a few minutes thinking about how the employers are missing out on their one in a million.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The Living Situation</b></div>
<br />
Oh boy, is this a tough one too. I lived in the city in Cape Town and it was everything. I grew up in the suburbs and I can tell you, I belong in a city. I like noise, I like shops and bars and I like walking places, taking cheap taxis, being around people. I don't want gardens, I don't want quiet, I don't want suburbia. I have nothing against it but I feel for a new city, I need to be in the thick of things. Sadly, Vancouver does not want me to be happy.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
The places in the centre of town, Downtown, the West End, Coal Harbour, Yale Town, are available. But they cost millions of rands. False, they don't cost that much but when you are unemployed and still thinking in another currency, they seem like the unattainable dream. And the majority of rooms that are available are scary.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZeG1vmQmEDcJ7zSjDI0hzYVJIQI9ILf9s5C_XeN4DP6ut57DuXFUA-5RPMLqaU36U3AQjwQS0aXuJ6Dwkr6EN0YpyGrn6pPc-SBhyLSkNMaoDE3lJzb13KHgWQRsNuKRRRPgRwNHUVeE/s1600/IMG_2822%5B1%5D.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZeG1vmQmEDcJ7zSjDI0hzYVJIQI9ILf9s5C_XeN4DP6ut57DuXFUA-5RPMLqaU36U3AQjwQS0aXuJ6Dwkr6EN0YpyGrn6pPc-SBhyLSkNMaoDE3lJzb13KHgWQRsNuKRRRPgRwNHUVeE/s1600/IMG_2822%5B1%5D.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
A big thing in Vancouver is sharing rooms. There are a lot of colleges and universities so it makes sense. Except when you are 27. Because I ain't got time for that. So that immediately crosses out all the great places in my budget. The ones at the end of my budget are also great, if they were private rooms. Another Vancouver thang is living rooms, i.e. people sleeping in living rooms. It's so common to view a great room and find out that it's actually a cordoned-off living room. Normally they're a huge space which if desperate could work. Other times it comes with weird rules like the one guy who stated no noise after 8pm. Not no cooking or no watching TV, no noise. Not even bathroom visits. There was more than one reason I declined that place.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
So sadly it looks like my dreams of being in the Downtown area are being squashed. The only good news is that there is more than one happening area. This is not like new up-and-coming areas but there are other places that have noise and bars and shops and people my age that tick all of my boxes. And they're in my price range. So things are looking up.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>The Other Stuff</b></div>
<br />
I am obsessed with root beer. I buy lots of it.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I am in a coffee lover's dream world. Everywhere I look I am able to get a cup. It costs a lot so I save it for treats. And I get mad when they misspell my name.<br />
<br />

Drinking costs a lot here. So when I do have a drink I savour it. I also have a new appreciation for ciders<br />
and beers. You get a lot here and it's the cheaper option.<br />

At times I'm so caught off guard, I look around waiting for the cameras to be revealed and the big announcement I'm on a reality TV show. I get asked a lot for directions for some reason and whenever I apologise that I don't know and I'm new, the first response is always "Welcome to Canada" and all the places they are meant to be are forgotten.<br />

<br />
*The people are extremely patriotic. There is nothing more they love than their country. Which I really like. They're not pompous and arrogant about their country, they just love it. They also tend to think everything outside of their country is bad. Not in a mean way but whenever I say I'm not used to something or this is different, the reply is "You're in Canada now." The same way you'd say to someone running away from an ax murderer, "You're in a safe place now."<br />

*The coffee culture is massive here. I have seen every demographic, race, age and income bracket carrying a takeaway coffee cup. Even their homeless people are rocking their daily Starbucks. And I cannot blame them, there is literally a coffee shop everywhere you turn. There are even drive-thru coffee shops. Because you know how taxing it is to actually park your car and walk into the shop. That comment was meant to be tongue-in-cheek but actually writing made me realise how great this would on the morning drive to work.<br />

<br />
<br />
*The job market is very different here. It's the norm for Canadian employers to take a little longer to get back to you. And I thought Cape Town was laid-back. Vancouver makes us look like Joburg. I've signed up with a few recruitment agencies but even before you get a job, you have to do these admin tests. They test your proficiency in Word, Excel, Powerpoint and email. Whatever skills you thought you had, fly out the window and you wonder "How the fuck do I type?" which was my thought constantly. They also do not always let you know your results. So you have no idea how (badly) you did.<br />
<br />
*So. Many. Asian. Babies.<br />
<br />
*The place is filled with beautiful people. More importantly skinny people. And I do not know how they do it. Apart from the coffee shops, there are fast food and other eateries everywhere. And they're always full. And the fast food is cheap and can fill you up for the day. As I found out on more than one occasion. I don't even need my usual order of fries on the side. But no one here looks like they are struggling with weight. I secretly hate them for it.<br />

*You walk a lot. There are buses and trains and seabuses but still getting to them takes a bit of walking. I don't miss my car as much as I thought I would but having to plan my day takes longer. I always misjudge the distance. On the plus side, all this walking has made me a lot fitter than I have been in months. And the best bit at the end of the day, I am so tired I don't need to snack on bad food. Which is also readily available.<br />

Ex-Oh! Ex-Oh!Skinny Bitches in the Makinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07621485732690856755noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133701282339825591.post-15283215629926304862014-07-15T13:55:00.000-07:002014-07-15T13:55:40.214-07:00Vancouver, eh!So last week Tuesday I took an early evening flight to what I hoped would be the big great risk of my life. I've always played it safe so the fact that I hopped on a plane (after years of planning and not spontaneously mind you, I'm not completely crazy) to a place I'd never been, didn't know anyone and was not guaranteed a job was a big thing.<br />
<br />
On the day I was chilled. At the airport, much to the disgust of some of my friends (you know who you are girl) I was chilled. On the flight to London, I was chilled. The whole big thing, apart from not being employed ,has been one great big ride and I'm still very happy and not at all scared. Knowing myself, I do expect a freak out soon. One of those panic attacks where I cannot stop crying and look gross and people actively avoid me because I look so bad, they think it's contagious.<br />

<br />
So after a long-ass flight to London on British Airways - which was actually lovely. Delicious food (still a fat kid), extra pillow and had an empty seat next to me so I could sleep for a while. I arrived at Heathrow, nearly freaked out at Passport control, both because I was nervous and scared and also because I saw Amish people. Then I made my way to Terminal 2. With about 90 minutes to kill and 20 pounds I soon made friends with all the coffee shops. I also spent way too much time in Boots. Their entire miniature travel range is enough to bankrupt me. I wanted to buy everyone despite the fact that I had proper, normal-sized versions of everything in my suitcase. I ended up only getting some Soap and Glory stuff on their 3-for-2 special.<br />

<br />
Since I didn't know when I was next going to be touching down in London town, ever the grownup, I spent the rest of the money on sweets. Mostly for the plane but also for my host. One more coffee and then I made my way to the Air Canada terminal.<br />
<br />
Oh Air Canada. After a really good flight on BA, Air Canada was a bit of a change. The flight was safe, the hostesses friendly and the entertainment good but it was just different. A little bit less glam but again, safe and friendly which is all that counts at the end. I also had the best welcome when I got into my seat.<br />

After 9ish hours, I traveled back in time and landed at Vancouver International Airport. Getting through passport control was nice and easy. My bags even arrived a few minutes later. Immigration on the other hand was not as fun. Despite the hot officers in their sexy uniforms (seriously, it was like an advertising campaign) it took forever. Almost two hours later I emerged with a brand new work permit and had it grilled into me I was *not* to stay longer the date on there. They are so serious and strict that I would have given away my first adopted baby if they told me to.<br />

I'd arranged accommodation for the first month through AirBnB. So after letting my host know I was on the way, I got accustomed to the Skytrain. Now at the risk of sounding like a horrible person, I am not au fait with public transport. It's just not something I needed to take in my younger days. I realise I sound awful. Later in life I used the MyCiti but when it came to trains and other buses, I never shall I say had the opportunity. And now I've been spoiled for life. The transport here is fast, clean and the best bit air conditioned. It changes everything. I bought my ticket, dragged my bags on and then sat for about 20 minutes and arrived at the station.<br />

I'm currently staying in Burnaby which is a great suburb outside of Zone 1 and the main city centre. It's beautiful, just the right amount of noise and has what I think is the world's largest shopping mall. It took me two days to see all the shops and now at the risk of getting lost, I only venture to the one side.<br />

The house and my host are very similar to your favourite, crazy aunt. She is lovely, very welcoming and the house is definitely a home. She's been quick to help me with lots of information and made the whole process a lot easier. There are several other people in the house. We don't always see each other but when we do everyone is lovely.<br />

Skinny Bitches in the Makinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07621485732690856755noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3133701282339825591.post-91033955834877713862014-06-09T09:53:00.004-07:002014-06-09T09:53:59.300-07:00In A Month's Time......I'll be in Canada.<br />
<br />
This post has taken me so long to write mainly because it's been such a long time in planning. But it's here now.<br />
<br />
So to start it all off, is to start at the very beginning.<br />
<br />
A couple of years ago, when I got back from Thailand, I made a decision to try and travel. I wanted to do as much stuff as I could before I became a grown up. In my mind, a grown up is someone who owns property and has to take responsibility and care for others. In my mind these are my cute, fat adopted babies. And I never want to regret anything. So while I'm still growing up and only have to care for myself, I have decided to use the time wisely.<br />
<br />
So I applied for a year abroad. After lots of paperwork, lots of money and lots of stress, I got accepted for a work and holiday visa in Canada.<br />
<br />Things were looking great until it wasn't. Several dramatic episodes and all my savings vanished. I already have a problem with saving money; in short I cannot. So there were times I was down, there were times when I was convinced myself this was fate and there were times when I was ready to just stop dreaming about this year abroad.<br />
<br />
Somehow the universe conspired to help me. And here I am, (almost) ready to leave in a month's time.<br />
<br />
It's taken a very long time, hours and hours of research, a lot of will power but on the 8th of July, I'll be flying out of Cape Town International Airport and arriving weirdly the next day in Vancouver.<br />
<br />
I'm still kinda processing it all. Not the trip but that in a few weeks I'll be in a new place with no family, no friends and no job. After six years at the same company this is something that keeps me up at night. I have a very important place in a company, something that I worked immensely hard to achieve and it's evident from my coworkers that I was doing a good job. I'm not scared about starting in a junior role or working hard but not having a place, trying to make work besties and struggling to make a living means my anxiety is sky high. <br />
<br />
I can count some of the best people in the world as my friends and soon I'll only be contacting them via Facebook and sporadic Whatsapp. No coffee clubs, no cocktail evenings, no gays to make me feel pretty, no girls to laugh with.<br />
<br />
And I won't have my family nearby. My family drive me crazy. We're all loud and crazy and there are times when I love not seeing them but the thought of them not being a car ride away, makes me want to cry in the middle of shopping centres when I'm trying to buy trip essentials.<br />
<br />
But at the same time, I'll be abroad. I'll find out exactly what type of person I really am when the odds are against me. I'll find out if I really as independent as I always claim to be and I'll make some memories. Even if they're the times I cry in the middle of Vancouver because I haven't made any friends or whether it's slogging it out at two jobs just so I don't get deported. This is one experience I cannot wait to have.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for the ride.<br />

And by buy I mean I want to save for that deposit (because there is no way I can do more than that in one go) all on my own. No parents helping me, no trust fund from a distant relative, no rich boyfriend or husband. I want to work hard and do this myself. On a side note, I don't have any disdain for all those other reasons, I would probably still accept all of them if I needed to, but this one is about me.<br />
<br />
I want to buy my own little place before I marry Michael Fassbender and we have to split our time between his acting career in Hollywood and my writing career around the globe. Because I'm gonna be a best-selling author and on tour constantly. I want my little place to be a reflection of me and my personality. I want this place to be where I feel happy, where I can lounge, where I can feel safe and where i get my seksi on.<br />

In my dream first home I want my lounge to be the embodiment of relaxation and comfort. It's the place I'll collapse after a hard day at work or the place I go when I need to entertain the girls and the gays. It's the place I want to go where I watch bad TV with no one talking and judging me. I'll see it as my refuge.<br />

My kitchen needs to look like a cupcake exploded in there. It's no secret I like pretty, sparkly, girlie things but I do know this can be a bit much. So instead little touches can make my dream kitchen come again.<br />

My bedroom is always a funny point for my friends. Whenever I mention my ideas for it they burst out laughing. Why? Because I want my bedroom to be a boudoir of sex. That's right. This is the place where my inner Dita Von Tees comes out (because she's hella sexy amirite?!). This is not the place to chill out and watch <i>Nashville</i>; this is not the place where my fat pants are allowed; this is not the place I nurse my hangovers; this is the place where magic happens. It's about a sexy headboard, it's about candles and a chenille throw and dark purples and gray on the wall.<br />

seems a lot of girls and guys actually do this thing where they say they don’t want
anything for VD; it’s a stupid day. I’m not going to lie to you. The day is
over the top but I want something. </span></div>

easy. Not like that unless I’ve made my way through happy hour (that will all
change when I meet you baby). I like little things. I like handmade things. I
like sparkly things. Basically I like presents. So the way I react to a getting

about celebrating the little things and happy moments in life. Sidebar – <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">this quality will either be endearing when
you’re struggling to find some joy or it will be crazy annoying when you want
to sulk and I tell you to count your blessings. The best part is we’ll only

something a little special for Belle. She’s kinda feeling him but he and his
boys knows, it’s the grand gesture that really wins the girl or at the very
least shows exactly how you feel. So Beast does his research and thinks about
what this lady would like; and he produces a libraby for her. As a
self-confessed bookworm, there is no other way to drop those panties. Nice one!</span></div>

much Ross cares for Rachel. When the poor girl is stood up right before her
prom, he does the gallant thing and dresses up in his dad’s suit and gets ready
to take her to the prom. Now we all now, that gesture didn’t go exactly as
planned and they never went to prom together. Years later though Rachel was
deeply touched and much, much later, they end up together for good. Because
they’re each other’s lobsters!</span></div>

shit and proposes to Elizabeth Bennet. But he seems to forget that throughout
all the time him and her have spent together he’s a big old dick. He thinks she
should grateful by the proposal (which in those times, she should) but his way
of admitting he loves her (but trying to repress it) fucks everything up. Lately
as they get to know each other properly he finds a way to save her family from
ill-repute and does a very generous thing. Again, in those times, their reputation
was everything. And the best bit is, he doesn’t want any recognition for it.
Humble, generous and sexy; 10 points for Mr Darcy.</span></div>
