Swimming with the sharks

Okay, so I'm sure we've all done things we regret,and sometimes (as much as I hate being cliche) desperate times call for desperate measures. No, don't worry, I didn't do anything stupid (Today). I just had an intresting arguement with a friend, and it got me thinking.
"Why do girls jump into a pool full of sharks and not expect to get bitten?"
Firstly, I 'm one whose done this many times, and yet I don't learn. I've put myself in situations that I knew would end up bad, but I still did it anyway. The funny thing is: when "I get bitten," I ask myself why I let it get that far.
I'm sure many girls will admit that have used men for money, and lets be honest- right from the beginning, you know what he wants. I always convince myself, that everytime I take money from him, it will be the last time. Then I find myself going there again, and again. Of course, nothing is free, and the day came...

 "I've been giving you money for over a year Yolanda, and you haven't given me anything!" (yes! over a year. to be honest I was starting to think he's an idiot lol) Anyway, that particular day I was desperate for money and I knew he wouldn't give me more unless I gave him what he wanted. So I got into his red GTI, and off we went. The closer we got to the house, the more nervous I became. When we stopped at traffic lights, people looked at me through the window- then looked at him. Golddigger , I felt as if they could see right through me. I was ashamed. Was I really going to do this? Was I really going to sleep with someone: for money?? Maybe. We pulled up to the apartments' underground parkinng lot. We drove into the ill-lighted, never-ending space. I glanced at the automated gate, which was now closing behind us. "I can't wait 'til I leave", I thought to myself as he proudly parked his red beauty. As soon as he switched the car off, he turned to me. The smug look on his face, made me imagine him breathing heavily into my ear in the next few minates. The thought sent shivers down my spine. His hand brushed over my thigh. I looked out the window."Lets go upstairs!" said the husky voice. My heart started racing. He asked again, this time, using his other hand to squeeze by breast. I told him I didn't want to go upstairs. "Yolanda, I've been very patient (okay, that part is true) and you know how much I want you. It will be quick I promise, and afterwards, we can go have some lunch-anywhere you want." The hand on my thigh made circular movements towards my groin. I felt sick. I kept a straight face. He told me how beautiful I was and how he had dreamt of the moment. He reached under my top, luckily, I was wearing three tops, so he was dissapointed when his hand was met by another layer of fabric- instead of the warm soft skin he had hoped to caress. He continued, rubbing me over my clothes for about 15 minutes. He then reached for my zip. I grabbed his hand and shook my head. "What Yolanda? I want you so bad! Please, you can't do this to me!" He reached for the zip again. This time, I placed my hand firmly over the zip. He tried to pull my arm away, but pulled it towards me. It was then, that I realised that he was forcing me to remove my hand. Then he looked around and locked the doors. Oh my god, I'm going to get raped!  "Yolanda, just let me do this." He, put his hand under the three tops, and made his way towards my breasts. I tried to pull away, but he held me with his other hand. His phone rang. He stopped to answer it. A wave of relief. As soon as he hung up, I told him to open the doors and let me out. H resisted, but realised I wasn't joking and ended up driving me back.

The only thing I kept asking myself is: why? Why did I do this to myself? It wasn't worth it. Lets just stick to "swimming with dolphins!" *lesson learnt*

Overshare???

Okay, so this relationship thing is turning out to be harder than I thought. No, I'm not complaining. Don't get me wrong, I love being in a relationship, it's just that, there are so many do's and dont's!  And with my experiences: I'm not so good at knowing what to say and when to say it. My BIG mouth has landed me in HOT water a few times!!
So here's what I want to know... where do you draw the line? Especially in cases where you're different people!
You want to be honest and tell him the truth about everything- but maybe there are things he doesn't need to know.
Let's not even mention bedroom dilemmas. One person is spontaneous, while the other is conservative- where do you find the balance?!!
Then, there's the classic catch-22: trying to keeping your partner happy, without compromising who you are!
Further more, how do you deal with the prospect of getting over feelings you had for someone else, while you're in a new relationship?
Wow... so much to think about. I don't know if I'll ever have answers to all those questions.

Anyway, moving along. I've always been afraid of commitment. Or worse- marridge talk. With my previous boyfriends, I would cringe at the thought of being "tied" to them for the rest of my life! But for some reason, it doesn't scare me anymore. Lol. I'm 20. I'm not planning on getting married (anytime soon- just so we're clear) just that the idea doesn't scare me anymore. The question here, is why. Why have I suddenly changed my mind about something I've always been so adamant about? It's weird.
 For once- I can't explain how I feel. Very strange indeed! 'Til we blog again, chaio!! xoxoxoxo

Quick update

Okay, so the June holidays have come to an end *sigh* and it's only day 2 of school, but I'm tired already!! I just want to graduate-and start working-and move out of my mother's house! (yeah I said it!)
On a lighter note: details of my holiday...

So my party didn't happen the way I had planned it- but it the turn out was pretty good! A pleasant night, although I was faced with a few dilemmas, such as introducing my ex to my boyfriend! I know i promised to take pictures- but I had so much fun that I forgot to take some- bummer! No evidence of the Epic night!

A moment of self dissapointment.... the exam results came back, and i had supp for Auditing!! I really can't afford to fail. Have to study hard this term. To make matters worse- The Brain Child (my sister) had get nine distinctions and now she has a Blackberry *rolling eyes* when I was in grade 6, I had a Nokia 3310. Makes me wonder what my kids will be using when they, are 12.

Our house is still under renovations! Super excited! Can't wait to move back in. And I'll admit to being excited about picking out a new colour of paint for my walls heehee that's so cheesy right?!
Got a voucher for a photo shoot! Just hope I find the time to actually go and get it done!
hmmm, class is calling! Have a new module called "Active Citizenship" WTF?! Last time I checked, I was studying accounting! anyway, gotta go...Mwah!!

A Random Question...

If someone gets you something for a birthday present: and you don't like it.... should you pretend to like it???

Spoke Too Soon...

Okay, so maybe I spoke too soon! Perhaps having a fight is something I'd rather avoid! But where  does one draw the line when you have a difference in opinion and personality?
Relationships are more complex than they seem- you find yourself doing things you were not accustomed to doing. So here's my other dilemma: as much as I want to share everything- I can't really bare all the intricate details of my relationship here (which I'm sure my boyfriend would have an issue with) but at the same time, I'd like to keep an open mind about the decisions I make- and this usually involves listening to other peoples opinions! The only thing I can say without doubt, is that communication is the seed of my relationship!


Moving along, my birthday turned out...uhm...rather norrmal I guess! Had a loooooooooong boring exam, and the weather was a drag.My friends and I were meant to go for drinks after the paper, which we didn't because of the horrible (jealous) weather! and, besides that, they all had excuses. Okay one had to go to a funeral, one had no money, one had to study, one had plans with her boyfriend and the other would've only come along if I was going to pay! They all left. I felt alone. I felt like it was unfair how they all had excuses, but on their birthdays, I make an effort! The only people who wanted to see me: are my guy friends. So I ended up going to see one. Although the only other person I wanted to spend my birthday with was my boyfriend! Whom I was reluctant to go see cause I feel like I'm distracting him from studying! Oh well. I realised that my birthday is just another day to everyone else. That's the reality of it I guess!

And of course, I was right- my mom didn't wish me a happy birthday (for the 5th year in a row now) It's starting to seem like a tradition! At least my party is on saturday! 5 days left! Countdown is on!
P.S: being 20 really isn't as exciting as I thought it would be! Mwah my lovies

Teen days are over!

Okay, so today is officially my last day as a teenager!! *screams* okay wait, that sounds like something a teenager does! *CUT! take two_ ACTION!* Today is officially my last day as a teenager!! *sexy smirk* and since I'm writing an exam tomorrow, I guess I can't do anything interesting... BUT not all hope is lost, since I'll be grabbing drinks with some friends tommorow after the paper!! I'll be sure to share pictures of that!
Anyway, my party is about a week away! And I only have half an outfit... which reminds me of a funny story: last week I went shopping for a pair of black heels, (which I couldn't find) then ended up buying a pair of green heels!! yah I know. I don't even own anything green to match the damn shoes with!!
Imma pair em with white socks, and cute shorts! If anyone can pulloff a pair of green heels: I CAN!
*sigh* I can't help but think how not celebrating my birthday with my mom has become such a trend! This morning she barely said a word to me <actually she didnt say anything to me> and as stupid as it sounds, I die a little inside when my own mother doesn't say "Happy Birthday." I hope I'm wrong...
Moving on... does anyone else have a boyfriend who calls at 3am on a school night??!! lmao, I do!! Funny, if anyone else calls me at that time; I get a little irritated! but when it's him: I even smile. Gosh! I'm actaually waiting for the day when I'll be mad at him! Really!!
Confession time: I've always been such a flirt! I mean even when I dated other guys (some which I'd rather choose to forget) I'd still flirt with a bunch oof other guys! But now, I feel really bad about it! Like last night on bbm
 Kenny*: What you doing tonight? lets drink!
 Me:       I can't. :( live with mom- can't go out without prior arrangement!
Kenny*: Ok, how about a massage then?
Me:      Oh yeah, I'm actually quite good at those!
 Kenny*:Hmmm I'm on my way...
 Me:     Really now...
 Kenny*: Ok, so I'm out and just waiting for you to jump out your house and sneak me into your bedroom!                                                   
 Me:    I'm a good girl! Don't get ideas!
(*) - name has been changed to protect the offender's integrity
okay, so I guess I could see where the convo was leading and honestly, I felt really bad!! What has my boyfriend done to me??!!! I dunno, he must be something special if being with him has made me feel bad about things I used to do! This is all very strange...

Anyway... till tommorow my lovies....MWAH!

All but a memory...

Okay, so there are four days left until I turn 20!!! And people keep asking me why I'm making such a big deal of it... considering "THE 21st" birthday is the one I should go all out for.... thing is, the last four birthdays have been bad:
2011 my phone was stolen the day before my birthday and mom was pissed at me for a whole week
2010 my grandfather passed away on the 2nd of June and spent my birthday at a funeral (in rural areas)
2009 was writing June exams for matric and parents were on my case cause they thought I would fail
2008 June exams (again) which I did actually fail! lol and lets not rewind to grade 10

So shoot me if I want to celebrate this year, I mean, what if something happens next year and I end up not celebrating??!! I say, "live for today" and another great man once said "Y.O.L.O" so June 16th- it's on!!
Of course mom is against it, but she really has no reason to say no! As usual, dad supports me 100%, and if one parent consents then that counts as permission hahaha. All there is to do now, is to enjoy my last 4 days as a teenager, and the rest will be all but a memory.



Moving on, our house is officially under construction!! I went there last night and the builders had already taken the roof off. As stupid as this is going to sound, seeing the stars while you're in your house is actually quite cool!
