Life Is Too Short To Be Small

Victor and I just got back home a little while ago from my parents’ house. We were over there with some relatives for dinner, as it was my younger sister’s “Sweet Sixteen”. We had some really good food and of course, my favorite dessert, ice cream! Not to mention having a really good time as a few of my cousins were present. We played Uno, watched a DVD, acted the fool and just had loads of fun.

It’s not often that we see each other, so it was really nice. I just felt really bad about not being able to get my sister a birthday gift. Oh but I did promise her that I would as soon as I can afford to do so. I couldn’t even give her some money that would be inserted a birthday card…

Victor’s parents spent the past weekend over here. It was unexpected as Victor’s father had called Victor on Friday night and told him that he and his mother will be coming through the next morning. Talk about last minute, right? When I found out that his parents were going to be here the next morning I started crying and whining. Simply because it was very short notice and that I didn’t want anyone over because I wasn’t feeling well. I’m such a sissy and am way too emotional at times.

But the weekend went alright despite Victor acting like a spoiled brat with his new hard drive that his father had bought him.

I’m so very tired right now. I got to get to bed before I pass out, face first into my keyboard!

Christmas Wishes

Dear Santa Admirer,

I know this letter is late but please remember that I have been an extremely naughty good girl this year. Or at least I like to think so…

When you happen to drop by the night before Christmas, please consider placing at least one of these gifts next to my tiny Christmas tree. Obviously after you’ve helped yourself to the glass of full cream milk and freshly baked cookies that I baked, just for you!

Please consider giving me at least one of the gifts below for Christmas this year.

  • New computer By the sounds that my hard drive makes, I assume that it is going to blow up!
  • External hard drive New computer or not, this has become more of a “Need” than a “Want”. The two 40GB hard drives in my computer are just not cutting it. Oh and I have no DVD writer so I can’t back any of my junk stuff up on to DVDs.
  • Vodafone 3G HSDPA USB Modem I have never experienced an internet connection faster than a 56kbps dial-up!
  • Flickr Gift Account Being able to create more than three sets on Flickr would be nice.
  • Extended hosting period Keep my website online?
  • Money With money one can buy things!
  • Or something listed here?

As much as my little heart desires all these things, I know that I can’t have them all… Anything will more than do!

Loads of love,
Randi

EDIT: Santa’s seriously, really not real? What the fuck?! :P

Dispatched, My Ass!

Several times today were Victor and I on the phone with Kalahari… After more than a few promises of being called back and R51 later was I informed that the orders that I had made using the e-voucher that I had received from my friend Mark, were canceled. This was because they could not verify his credit card. I told them that what they were telling me was bullshit as I had received a few e-vouchers from Mark before and had no problems…

This isn’t the first it’s happened. I’ve received an e-voucher from my friend David that was canceled too because his credit card could not be verified.

Maybe Kalahari has changed their payment gateway and cannot verify international credit cards anymore. Several months back there were no problems. I do not know what is it with Kalahari lately. Fuck knows… I mean, they didn’t even notify me about the orders being canceled.

So I spent the last couple of days with my head at the window, keeping an eye out for the delivery van for about, let’s say seventy percent of the time, for nothing… Stupid Kalahari for not notifying me at all!
