21 Things about Me # 4 / Twenty Wishes for 2014

List FOUR goals you plan to accomplish in the future
I am actually not much of a planner - never have been. This list really is difficult & I cannot come up with 4 goals.
Most of my goals such as -  own a home, see One Direction live, take mom overseas for the first time - have been/are being realised.

So with that I will give you 1 goal:

1. Take my dad for an overseas holiday - probably to see the Rugby Sevens tournament somewhere awesome like Hong Kong.
   The bonding time with my mom in the UK is going to be amazing. I need the same with my dad. With all his health scares, I want to be able to do this with him before it is too late. Dad and I used to go on road trips to Cape Town and discuss all sorts of things on the 11 hour drive. We have not done this for a very long time.

The rest are all wishes & seeing as I have not yet posted my Twenty Wishes for 2014 ( I compiled it in January, but never blogged it) - here they are:

1. Buy a really pretty dress - Similar to a LBD - in case I ever need an outfit 
2. Try Pilates
3. Host more dinner parties/luncheons
4. Learn to cook more recipes
5. Eat More fruit
6. Go to a movie by myself
7. Kiss a stranger
8. Take more photos & complete my Project 365 challenge
9. Fix my dry feet
10. Do another spontaneous thing (2013: Bought 1D tickets)
11. Have High Tea in London
12. Fall in Love
13. Buy a nice fitting blazer
14. Read a great book
15. Watch a classic movie 
16. Drink more water 
17. Get my weight below 70kg 
18. Tone my stomach
19. Work less 
20. Be a happier person

10 Interesting things about me...

1. I have green eyes - my dad has blue eyes and my mom has brown eyes
2. I have the exact same birthmark on my back that my grandfather had - it almost looks like an acid spill - but most times you cannot see it because I am naturally pale
3. I think about travelling - ALL the time
4. I am very talkative, but I am also very shy sometimes
5. My younger brother is married with a child & it honestly does not bother me
6. I hate exercise, but I am loving Pilates more than I ever thought I would 
7. My cousins used to be Andre Agassi's neighbours in Malibu
8. I was on the radio asking Jhb whether I should hook up with an older or a younger guy - Jhb voted for the younger guy - so I did! 
9. I almost lost my thumb when I was little - I was run over by a car
10. I almost died when my appendix burst in 2008 - I didn't know I had a major infection because I had felt no pain until it was almost too late

My favourite blogs (I don't read or blog very much anymore, but there are a few I religiously read the moment I have time)

1. The Cow Jumped over the Moon
2. Purple Lips & Perfect Smiles 
3. Vanilla Blonde

Thanks again for this Mel!

21 Things about me - Week 3

What kind of people do you surround yourself with?

I like to be around people who are spontaneous, intelligent and have a wicked sense of humour like myself.
I need a partner in crime to play tricks on someone.
Somebody who loves to rehash the latest episode of Vampire Diaries/Suits/White Collar/any other awesome series.
A person who gives me great advice when I need it
Somebody who cheers me up by knowing exactly the right thing to say to me without annoying me even further.
