Northern Trip



Okay, so we are driving from home to the littoral parts of the island and hopefully it's going to be another gorgeous day out there, with the sun beaming with full exuberance. I just plan one post to be a road journey where I'm going to write about a trip, God bless it turns out great. So we are headed to the northern coast and from the beginning of Grand Bay we are welcomed by a huge field of burnt down sugarcane. And there's Super U right in front pulsating with life for an early Friday morning! And just when I was planning to get hungry - McDonald and the fast food is closed! Yes the parking's filled for a bright morning where one expects everyone to be working in office cubicles! So off we go, our first stop- to the optician to fetch my brother's new specs and to find something to gulp down!



So, it's mostly tourists mainly of Chinese origin roaming about but what is striking me best is the difference between the night life of this area and its day life. I mean right now, you can see cleaners and their buckets of water and mops.

What's amazing though I'd to see this very elegant morning yet so rustic and islander.  Blues, yellows and greens. Just the perfect theme for this very beachy morning. 





We just found food. And kill me, stab me in the heart. I wish my school canteen was so filled with an ounce of delicious goodies. Aaarrhh.. Mouthwatering is not the word when you just woke up at the sight of this. So lunch and breakfast were gulped down right there! I love this corner the most in the ground level, not only because of the food but also because of the normally calm but fast-paced life. And the books section. Kill me again!







And then I got into this dark and lovely coloured Lucky Strike World with my Mom- and I was pretty amazed by the buzz inside although it was only 10 30. The lounge was already filled with a long table already occupied by a group of youngsters chilling out It’s not normally the kind of atmosphere that I would normally champion or easily sway to the rhythm of- but with my mom and my grandma, there we go!




On coming out of this cavern- There are tonnes of kids walking everywhere, obviously making the most of their holidays. But woah, was I amazed by their vivacity and excitement to get in those play rooms and games. A bunch of them had wheels and wheels of those tickets needed to start off those joysticks! And my, I felt myself going back to those days where I used to ride on Donald Duck's back. What took me off guard was this game called bulldozer where instead of teddy bears, iPods, mp3 players were displayed to be played for! My, my! And they say standard of living is low?!
 






Back to the car, I'm left feeling sleepy after that elaborate meal. We are driving towards Mon Choisy. There we go with the art galleries, fresh air, and whiff of the salty sea. And sunshine. Loads of sun days. The restaurants, the shopping kiosks and the banyan trees!





And ouuff. The sea. It's here. It's just here. To be honest, I really don't know what I had do if this pearly surface never existed. I feel blessed to be living only 10 minutes away from this paradise!


This Post- is mainly for my Mom, who just thought that US viewers should perhaps be introduced to some typical Mauritian views and lifestyles.
On that note- thank you for reading this. God Bless. One Love, xoxo!

If a guy stares at you for a long time while smiling does he like you?

There's this guy at my work who I've been starting to get to know better, and I've noticed that every time he sees me he always gets this big smile on his face and he stares at me all the time. He has this look in his eyes that I can't really explain but it seems like he's fascinated or dreamy. Plus I'll be doing something and I'll look over at him and catch him looking right over at me, and he just smiles and I smile back. Today as he was leaving work I saw him from a distance but I didn't say anything because I wasn't going to shout across the parking lot, and he just developed this big smile while looking right at me, and I couldn't help but smile too. Then he came over and we talked a little before he left (he seemed nervous and he's kind of dorky, but I think it's cute) I don't know, I just feel like he stares at me just a little longer than any other person. I was wondering if this could mean he likes me?

Comparing the lifestyles of celebrities and ordinary people

Disney’s TV Show Hannah Montana depicts the female protagonist’s choice of leading an ordinary life despite being a celebrity. The show fluidly walks us through the distinct lifestyles of a celebrity and that of an ordinary person in terms of their set of values, ways of life, activities and attitudes. Whether celebrities and ordinary people are truly different would require a close diagnostic. The first thing that comes to mind when discussing celebrity and common man’s lifestyles is luxury . From the sports industry to the entertainment industry, from politicians to business tycoons, the mantra “if you’ve got it, flaunt it” seems to be painted all over the walls that frame celebrity life. Because of the power and extraordinary amount of wealth they have, celebrities live a life that the normal man can only dream of. For instance, with real-estate assets worth more than just a few million dollars across the world, celebrities have better vacation options than an ordinary

Because being honest and being frank are two poles apart!

   *I have been meaning to write this since 3 weeks now.* I wonder why people take it for granted that they can do anything to you and say anything to you! Honestly, how can people be that honest?! I don't get it! Now, just so that I get over this- we had rather just start! , I think that each one of us has been frank at least once in our life!  Frankness broadcasts itself as a means for people to soothe their inability to contain their comments.  Because want it or not- Frankness in comparison to honesty is a bad thing. Basically because being frank hurts the object and makes the subject feel good, whilst honesty-well honesty is good for both! Being frank is a stupendo fantabulously fantastic thing for many of us. It's been for me. Mainly because it allowed me to believe that I existed and it made me feel good- it made me feel good because I could put my opinions forward. But to be honest, I don't it's been the best thing to do!  Frankness hurt
