10 things I learnt this weekend

1. Red Riding Hood was not as good as I was expecting - I was dissapointed.
2. I really want my hair to be as long as Amanda Seyfried's (pictured above)
3. Having people over for dinner is the best motivation to clean up better than usual
4. Aimlessly riding around on the back of The Boyf's harley can be so much fun
5. El Burro restaurant, in Green Point, makes such yummy Mexican food.
6. Finding a book that I struggle to put down makes me so happy
7. People seem to be fascinated by remote control helicopters
8. The Next 3 Days is a brilliant film that keeps you on edge until the end.
9. I can be so ridiculously insecure at times  - I seriously need to get over myself.
10. More and more I find this to be very true: "Gratefulness is the key to a happy life..."  - David Steindl-Rast

Have you learnt anything lately?

  2. Its been a while since I've read a 'struggle to put down' book. Been reading Eat, Pray, Love for more than 3 months now. It's just not making me happy.

  7. What I learnt? Even though a guy has a gf doesn't mean he won't cheat on her. That Easy A is a funny, funny film. That I will go to great lengths to NOT miss a race - stole my dad's car. I love David Sedaris' new book. Oh pics of Bali are on my blog. Check it out!
