This is Me # 22

Why do I seem to be so completely behind on these challenges??

The time is running away from me! I promise to try get back up to date this week!

This is a photo of the singer - Marcus Hernandez.

He was in South Africa for a short while and participated in a competition with our local radio station for the opportunity to win a date with him.

We were at the same restaurant as the lucky winner and him.

I got my photo take with him and then he did took my camera and took this photo of himself. :-)

Beauty with Brains

I work in an office with many beautiful girls. Unfortunately that is all they were blessed with.
I have an issue with good looking people relying on their looks to get ahead in life.

Then every now and then you get a beautiful woman who has the looks but she has the brains as well.

Que Bailey Schneider

Bailey is a DJ on 1 of Johannesburg's biggest radio stations - 94.7 Highveld Stereo

Bailey is super bubbly and she makes me laugh with her intelligent humour.

We need more role models like Bailey for the young girls of today.

I did a Uniquely Me with Bailey - I hope you enjoy it:

1: If you were a Disney Princess, who would you be?

Sleeping Beauty – she gets to catch up on lots of sleep – something I rarely get with my busy schedule. Plus she gets woken up by a gorgeous Prince Charming with a kiss. Yes Please. Where do I sign up? ;-)

2: If you proposed to your man - how would you do it? 

I would create my own little Amazing Race and send him on a hunt to find me, I would send him to all the special places we had visited during our relationship and then finally get him to take a hot air balloon to a special romantic location where I would then ask him to marry me…. But in all honesty, I am an old fashioned girl who is hopelessly romantic and ultimately, I’d love to be proposed to instead!

3: Would you become a PlayBoy Bunny or a Sports Illustrated model? 

A Sports Illustrated Model

4: What is your 1st thought when you wake up in the morning? 

Need to get to gym and I need a good cup of Vanilla tea.

5: Blackberry or iPhone? 

Blackberry all the way!

6: What inspires you? 

Smiles, laughter, kindness, successful people and their stories, my mom, dad and sister and my amazing friends.

7: What is your favourite flower? 

A sunflower

8: What is the oldest item of clothing you own and still wear? 

My jeans and my jackets! I buy them so that they last season after season!

9: What is your most sentimental piece of jewellery? 

A strand of fresh water pearls I received from my late grandmother and my Thomas Sabo charm bracelet I received from my parents – each charm (I’m still collecting) has a very special meaning.

10: What quirky habit do you have? 

When I am ON AIR I cross my leg and swing my foot backwards and forwards. I’m teased all the time but I just can’t do a proper link if my foot isn’t swinging. Weird. I know.

Things I learnt on holiday

• I am grumpy when I am feeling sick
• I am super grumpy when I have not had enough sleep (from aforementioned sickness)
• I am Super Turbo grumpy when I am feeling ill, not getting enough sleep and someone wakes me up, then comments, “Gee, you’re grumpy this morning”
• I love boardgames – especially Pictionary & 30 Seconds
• I wish I had more alone time with QT
• I love the sea & watching the waves
• Seasand down your bikini bottoms is not fun
• 1 day of sunshine on the beach is better than nothing
• Kulula.com makes me rethink using them again after both flights being delayed and my pretty, new, pink lock being cut off my bag.
• Hair on my bikini line – pointless
• Getting nookie while living in a house with 2 friends - difficult

Motherly Love

Mom & I - BTW: Mom is much prettier than this pic 

Kate at The Cow Jumped Over the Moon told a story on her blog about her mom and how much she misses her and it made me think ....

I'm not very outspoken when it comes to love. 

Like telling my parents I love them- I do- more than anything in this whole world. 

But I don't tell them a lot, I find it easier show them. 

Today I wrote to my mom on facebook and told her I love her despite the fact that she dropped me on my head when I was a baby and broke the wooden spoon by giving me hidings - which is all true by the way- and my mom came back with the following message:

Aaah thanks Bubs and I love you more than life... I'm so sorry I dropped you on your head BUT I'm not sorry I broke wooden spoons on you coz you're cheeky just like me and I didn't want you giving me a hard time like I gave Granny. Also look at the beautiful woman you have grown up to be that we are so proud of. Love you my rose bud XXX

Apparently I looked like a rose bud when I was born-  you could  see the roots of my eyelashes under the skin.

Mom called me Rose Bud and my dad unwittingly changed it to Bubs and that is how I got my nickname! :-)

What is my name?

I received an email today from a fellow Blogger and found out her real name! :-)
I suddenly realised that alot of people (like me) dont use their names on their blogs (for many reasons)

So for a spot of fun - I am interested to find out from you:

What do you think my name is?


Claudz - you are not allowed to enter! :-)

I won't reveal my name, but it will be interesting to hear your ideas! :-)
