Hello everyone!

After procrastinating for 6 weeks, I’ve finally decided to start my blog! Enough was enough – I've moved into my new apartment in Cape To

wn, researched & signed-up for new internet service (only 5GB/mnth, how do I even begin to comprehend calculating my usage for internet...!), taken weekend trips around Western Cape, meeting amazing people almost daily... there are simply so many stories and experience I want to share and starting a blog is the perfect way!

Pros:

- Keeping in touch with friends, especially when I continue to procrastinate on update emails...

- Documenting my life: how am I going to remember all these amazing things by the time I am 60 years old, looking back at photos and wishing I remember the moments leading up to it?

- Sharing stories with family & friends who may not get a chance to visit Cape Town while I live here

Cons

- Cleaning up my act of procrastination, a step at a time (should be a Pro eh?)

- Finally having some channel to communicate my thoughts (Pro again~)

- A form of relaxation outside of work!! Aaggh! (Pro?)

Being the logical person that I am, there’s really more pro to this than cons!

To make sure I keep up with this blog, these are the promises I will hereby declare to myself:

One: I will update my blog at least 3x a week, its only as good as the efforts I am going to put into it!

Deux: Don’t over-stress about the details, a goldfish has a 3sec memory which is roughly everyone’s attention span nowadays, anyway. Who will want to read a 4000word blog entry?

Tres: Including at least 1 photo per blog, a picture speaks a thousand words! Refer to #2

Not too bad for my first blog entry eh? Now the photo of the day *drum roll*

Taken today at Cape Point, which I always thought = Cape of Good Hope!! Let’s start this new blogging adventure with a bang, and I hope you will enjoy reading as much as I enjoy writing!
