Your Tourist Directory in South Africa

Just gone live with the new site Tourist Directory for South Africa. Its just the start and very happy that finally its live. Still lots to change and make better ...

acually some peops have had a problem viewing the site. Not sure why, and everyone see's the site differently - I think its cause i am using firefox and people are having problems when using Internet explorer. Some cant open certain pages and others have said that they can see all the sponsors on the side bars are ontop and over lapping eachother. Geez, i need a full time person, just for my hobby!

I have a few brains that I can pick around me - to find out the why's. But on my laptop it seems to look good, even if I am the one that says so :)

This site basically encourages other services/hotels/ guest houses/ back pakers/adventure sports/ museums/ attractions etc etc etc in the tourist industry to advertise their services for free on this directory.

The whole idea is that I wont have to do all the work - and people from the tourist industry can upload their details themselves.
I check it in the back-end and make sure that its entered into the correct category, then press the approved button.

There is still much needed correct and true information needed for services in South Africa. So maybe this one , can make a difference.

Shells and other pretty things

The sandy, shelly beaches in Sea Point are my favorite.



Everyone has their favorite beach in Cape Town and we have quite a variety to choose from. I love dipping my hands into the shells and sand mix. Picking up a hand full of colourful mother of pearl colour shells.



Spreading my fingers so that the light filters through them and all the big pieces fall leaving only the smaller ones. Grab another handful & repeat.



I just love the sunset from this beach, on the rocks and the sea gulls & is home.

Its a hidden secret amoungst the Sea Point locals.

Facebook status is my new media addiction

Who cares what my Facebook status says anyway?

Does it matter if I have flu yesterday and today love vanilla flavored coffee - does it matter if its true - ha ha it is true tho. Does ANYONE OUT THERE actually care?
I hear only silence and Therefore in conclusion - NOoooo nobody cares and this is only for my world.
If someone wanted to take a peak I guess then they would be able to access the daily dribble of my life. Easy Peasy lemon squeesy, there you have it.


What happened before Facebook, that was not even so long ago. I remember those care free days when I was the last one to know about anything web related and would not consider buying a laptop, never mind writing about myslef and publishing it.

And now even I do it - I change my Facebook status regularly, why? Is it the addiction that takes over and I feel an urge to let others know that my life is going super! I think that us humans are trying to reconnect with people.. only its difficult for some to say, 'lets meet for coffee' its just easier to Skype someone and say 'hi'. Keeping the contact with out having to make an effort or get out of your comfort zone - in front of my computer is safe and keeps my identity real. It's come to even using online means - cause texting is too personal and close to home!

I seem to be bobbing about with this, but guess that's the point in some ways. Maybe, this is just the beginning and Facebook will soon have to have an age limit, one will have to sign an indemnity saying that you don't have any psychological disorders that can be triggered through group stress or on the header bar will read, 'Warning Facebook is addictive and can cause ulcers.'

All I know is that I just changed my status again and either I think I am pretty damn hot and someone cares what I am doing and saying or I just am to far up my own a**!

Now how does this revelation relate to marketing ... hmm think pretty obviously.

Heat Wave in CT

A Crazy Life - 3's bad luck

What a day, yesterday!

I am sure that the energy was moving yesterday in a wild twist on planet earth. In the air, I could smell movement and made me think that there was something going on then slowly the day unfolded and revealed itself to myself and to others with similar experiences.

I know that what ever happens is 1stly meant to be and 2ndly cause and effect reactions, we are all connected to this earth in our physical forms.
Its hard not let this physical world take over and some people truly believe that this is all that there is eg. money, work, people, things.
I on the other hand, know that there is a greater 'game', 'consciousness','magic'or what ever other invisible words there are to describe it. A swirling power and energy- that directs this earth naturally.

And yesterday, was one of those days that would turn things right angle / 180degrees, a quick shift. I felt it! The day was not like any other... one just had to smell it out. Not only was my day filled with emotional high's and lows, but my very good friend had a rough one 2 (many have said that she is psychic!).

Of course it all happens for good reason and a lesson will be learned.
Still weird how these things happened.

She left the house, late and got money to pay the house cleaner. After stepping into her car, a bus driving very fast(100km/per hour as described) rammed into her half open front door- and left it hanging unable to close. Shook up and pissed off, she took all details down, went to the police station and then late to work. By 12 am she got a call from a friend in JHB to say that a school colleague had passed away that evening, ah no! By 3pm, after much turmoil at work for the past months, the team was called into a meeting to tell them that none of them will have their contract renewed and they don't have to come back to work from tomorrow!

What a day - all on the same day, not even separated by a day, why yesterday?

International earth day is drawing near on the 20March 2009 and there is much that you can do to create positive and efficient energy circulation on this planet.

'The centerpiece of Earth Day is the March Equinox, nature's moment of equipoise. That is the moment when Spring begins in the Northern Hemisphere and Fall in the Southern Hemisphere.' http://ww2.earthday.net/~earthday/about

This is an opportunity to connect with the energies around us, that will influence all our lives positively!

The mystery of the smile

I think that the saying should go, 'A smile a day, keeps the doctor away!'

The mind is an amazing thing. It is the creator of that hurting sensation in the body physically and emotionally, and it burns the heart… and makes one want to scream with anguish and pain. It also allows us to see the good in everything and lifts us up and makes the sides of our faces turn up. A smile can mean so many different things…

But the smile I am talking about is the one that makes you giggle to yourself by yourself. A rush that starts in your tummy and climbs up and up to your heart then, through your neck –that relaxes and finally to your wrinkles around you mouth … we lift it up and smile!

I am such a girl, somebody says something nice to me and I am on cloud nine, and when someone does something mean… can leave me down in the dumps.
But it just takes that one little thing, and I am back up there believing that this world is just and good.

The mystery of the smile!
