It's Prestige time!

Years ago I mentioned to my friends that Ster Kinekor or Nu Metro (cinemas) should install 2 rows of reclining chairs at the back of the cinema house and charge a premium for it.
I would pay extra for some added comfort in a movie house!

As with all my other brilliant ideas, I spoke about it and promptly forgot about it.

Fast forward to 2014 and Ster Kinekor now have the Cine Prestige. (I should have given them the idea and claimed free movies for a lifetime)

Tickets are quite pricey, but it is worth trying the experience at least once.

Your waiting area is a chic bar and comfortable couches and tub chairs.
The menu choices consist of delicious choices like Red Velvet cake, Meat and snack platters, Nachos and an assortment of drinks - all served on actual crockery.
Your order is taken at your couch and captured by friendly staff using an iPad and then delivered to your chair inside the cinema (your little side table even has a light).

I was intrigued by the walkway into the cinema, it felt like I was boarding a spaceship. I love the neon purple light!


All Aboard!
As we sank into the comfort of our chairs, I realised that this would not be the last time I visited Cine Prestige.
The cup-holder even has a cooling function to keep drinks cold!

Reclining in Comfort
We watched Begin Again with Keira Knightley, Mark Ruffalo & Adam Levine and I was able to snuggle up to T and even lie on his shoulder while watching the movie.

Smile - you're Prestigious!

This really was a fun experience, I really recommend you spoil yourself for date night and pay Cine Prestige a visit.

I would recommend that you make sure your toes look pretty - when the seats are back, your feet are up in the air for everyone to see!

PS: The movie is definitely worth a watch - I was so impressed with Kiera Knightley's singing - her voice is beautiful.

Movies & lessons learnt

I watched The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel today.

I learnt some great lessons:

  1. You are never too old to try new things
  2. You should always be open to new experiences
  3. Kindness can penetrate even the darkest of souls
  4. Real Love is always Right - you cannot force it or wish it out of your heart
These are all things we should know, but it is nice to be reminded about it sometimes isn't it?

"This Is The End" movie redeems itself

From the Producers of Knocked Up and Super Bad comes the next installment in Guy toilet humour: This is the End.

I have a dirty sense of humour, but these movies are enough to make even me feel like a prude in some scenes.

I think the guys enough this type of movie with never-ending references to penises, cum and the likes.

When that type of thing is not happening, this movie is hilarious. James Franco and Seth Rogan are a brilliant comedic pair. Paul Rudd, Emma Watcson & Rihanna all make guest appearances.

At the end of the movie they are all in heaven and they are told that they can have anything they wish for, and Jay wishes for this: The Backstreet Boys

I got chills as they started singing!
This made the entire movie so worthwhile! Nick Carter has become super hot and my favourite Brian still looks good.

The Lucky One with Zac Efron

I am a big fan of Nicolas Sparks books/movies and The Lucky one is his latest book-turned movie.
Starring my cutie pie Zac Efron, this looks like a good movie. I will be sure to bring my tissues with, because we all know that no Sparks novel leaves a person dry-eyed.
Check out that love scene, yummy topless Zac.... *drool*

Friends with Benefits

Don't you just hate it when you type a really witty piece and when you try to post it suddenly disappears and wasn't even saved in drafts? Urgh!

So this is my 2nd attempt & I don't think it will be as good as all my inspiration leaves as soon as I put it all down!

I watched Friends with Benefits yesterday and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

2 friends decide that they need sex without complications & turn to each other because they are confident that neither will get emotionally involved.
And in true Rom-Com style, they develop feelings for one another.

I have never been a fan of trousersnake Justin Timberlake, but this movie made me re-evaluate my opinion.

He is natural, funny & very sexy.

His body is looking very buff & I noticed how gorgeous his mouth is.

Mila Kunis is absolutely stunning as well. I would kill to look like her!

The movie has some steamy scenes but with a comedic twist which I loved. There are even some really "sweet" scenes that make you want your very own JT!

You cannot afford to miss this movie, especially if you want to see alot of JT butt!

Woody Harrelson is also hilarious as the gay sport writer.

Friends

I love my friends - all of them - because they are hand-picked by me to be in my life.


I am especially loving my girls who have recently been there for me without even knowing it.


This past long weekend we have seen alot of each other & it really has been fun.


My weekend went something like this:


    My obsession: Johan
  • Went to the last ever performance of Eden - was bittersweet. Was awesome when Jay saw me in the crowd & excitedly waved at me and the entire audience turned as one to see Who on earth ? he was waving at. Tee & I have had many fun evenings watching Our Boys & we have tons of self-portraits to show for it
  • Watched Limitless - what an awesome movie.  Bradley Cooper is a hottie, but I enjoyed the way he portrayed his character. Lunch at Fego Cafe and shopping at Woolies afterwards.I have a long list of things I need for the house: Blind for bathroom, storage for bath towels, new duvet cover, new lampshade
  • Watched The Back up Plan & 17 Again because Tee twisted my rubber arm & I do so like me a bit of Zac....
  • Went through to a school friend's wedding (this was the dilemma on an outfit to wear) I ended up wearing a Ginger Mary dress I had just bought for work as the weather was cold. It was perfect & I got some nice compliments. (After trying the Big Blue skirt on, my fat hips made it look frumpy - however as per my original promise, I did say the person to help me most would receive a photo and see who the real Flirty30 is - winner: keep an eye out!)
  • Caught up after the wedding with dinner with some friends & slept at my parents house
  • Noah came to visit & spent the entire day playing with him. Afterwards, mom cut my hair into the new style which I am loving
  • Shopping at Melrose Arch with some delicious milkshakes at the Protea Fire & Ice
  • Had sushi dinner at YuMe - their Dim Sum and Salmon Roses are to die for
  • Got together at Design Quarter & did some serious shopping. I found a lampshade, duvet cover, bathroom blind & basket for bath towels.


  • To reward ourselves we went to 1 of my favourite places: Buddha Ta. They have a specialty Mojito called a Candy Mojito. I can't even tell you how divine it is. You get a martini glass of Candy Floss and the mojito gets poured on top of it and the candyfloss melts. It is such a treat & just Too Divine
  • Ended it off with more sushi at CTFM with my friend T - her & her husband are going through the process of adoption as they are unable to have children of their own. They have asked me to help them create a profile for when they are picked as a possible match. The natural mother reads all their profiles and picks them that way. So I want to design a storybook written as kiddies story: Once upon a time there was a girl named T.... she met G and they fell in love..... I think that will be fun.
  • Throughout the weekend I laughed so hard with my girls. I am so blessed to have them in my life & to be able to share everything with them - the good & the bad.
  • I have booked a table at my favourite restaurant in Parys: Ruby's.(Another one of my birthday traditions) We'll be donning our feather boas and having a girls day out - Mom, Tee, AC, Li & myself.
