The last week has been a nice one. On saturday I went with Javi and Rob (who we work out with at the gym, he's a broker and retired fighter) to Lion's head to climb up towards the peak and look at the stunning view. A lot of people were there and the trails were really steep and rocky without any security nets, I must say I felt a bit nervous. But it was def worth it, the view was gorgeous and Rob is a nice person. 

I've been up to a lot of fun things lately. On monday we went to the beach (it was 32 degrees Celsius and hooott) and I got burned to a crisp. I've never had such a sunburn in my life >< Now it doesnt feel like my skin is on fire anymore though and I'm noticing a tan instead. At least better news even if I should have left the beach much earlier.. Anyways, on Tuesday we went to the Winelands to pet a cheetah (in order to raise money to save the species that is endangered), to see gorgeous surroundings and to visit the super wealthy and gorgeous cities Stellenbosch and Franchhoek that are situated in the middle of the lands. On the way home we went to the huge mall Canal Walk to get Javi a pair of shorts and new shoes for the gym. 

I'm sorry for not posting anything in a while, I cant really say why I havnt but I'll give you a brief update. I finished my english course with 88% correct answers on proficiency level and I am planning on taking the Cambridge Proficiency test and my teacher thinks I can get an A:) 

I have realised that I finally have time to read again and Javi has a bookshelf full of interesting books, I'm happy happy:) And I also just realised that after today I only have two days left of school, and the finals are coming up. Even if I doubt that my result will be bad the first test with a new teacher always makes me a bit nervous. All teachers have different methods and correct with varying strictness.. But Jan is a great teacher, I'm sure that the test will be good. Aand I'm starting to seriously sense some vacation! And the fact that summer is in the air sure helps:) I even bought a new bikini the day before yesterday. Different from Sweden where I heard that you guys are below zero already, I feel for you!

I love you.

Javi is practising swedish. However he's probably the only one who has learnt how to say Öring and Örtte directly after phrases like Hello and How are you x) He just wanted to pronounce Ö correctly but the words got stuck and now my vanilla tea has been declared Örtte and all fish we eat is undoubtably Öring. I feel like such a great teacher >< Not to mention how strange it was hearing real spoken swedish yesterday btw! We were on an outing with school to the slave lodge and an old couple (Bengt and Inga) were among the tourists. Varmlandska for the win! My teacher walked behind them all the way to hear how they speak x) Hemligt.

Check my facebook for pics from South Africa :) I have only uploaded five so far because it costs me two rands per picture >< But I'll add more so keep check there!

I didnt go with Andry on Friday; the brasilian models (Ana-Paula and Fernanda) and Javi's good friend Boris had rented a movie and wanted me to join and since I'd already started making friends with them I figured I'd have a nicer time there. We went together to the movie rental-place and after a loong time we decided on city of men and slumdog millionaire (the girls wanted a romantic comedy and the boys wanted clockwork orange and I got stuck in between and eventually they had to compromise xP). Unfortunately there were no english subs so the two brasilians who speak very little english had to make a huge effort to get the story :P We only had time to watch Slumdog millionaire though, Boris had to get up at six am to get to the shoot for the movie he works in. He's a stuntman! Supercool imo^^ And Ana-Paula learned a new sentence x) As soon as Boris, who is her boyfriend, tried to put his arm around her she yelled "Don't touch me!" xD Followed by a kiss though:P

Today Javi is working all day and I'm at home eating salad. I might go out with Andry and his friends tonight though, he's the only person that's in the advanced class with me and he's from Madagaskar! Cool^^ 

Today's Javi's birthday :) I bought him a pair of fins for bodyboarding xP Felt like a slightly strange present but he really wanted them so^^ And today we're going out for sushi at the best place in town, I've seriously never had such great sushi! Oh well, happy birthday love!
PS. I'm out of swedish bubble gums :(

Yesterday was a really nice day, I went with Lea and Natasha and Leas sister and cousin to Long Street for some shopping. (embarrased to say but I didnt get their names when they introduced themselves and after I just couldnt ask!) Anyhow I bought a gorgeous neckless and had shots in the middle of the day, shopping while being tipsy is apparently nothing strange here :P Later in the evening two gay guys joined us for some cocktails before the others headed out to party but me and Tash went home since I have school and she has work to do.
Today me and Javi are going to the botanical gardens:D I've just seen it while passing by car so far but from what iv'e seen its stunning so Im really excited to go^^ And since tomorrow is Javi's birthday I'm gonna attempt baking a birthday cake, let's see how it goes.. x) The positive thing though is that I've decided that the wisest thing to do is a "kladdkaka" and Javi has no clue how easy they are to make so my man is impressed.
I've got him as my personal trainer now btw so yesterday he made me work on my chest and biceps and I can hardly move my arms today xD He's too buff to realise that it's fucking heavy for me and I'm too stubborn to tell him to go easy on me, that would be no fun. But he's seriously insane, he can do 580 kilograms on the leg-machine!!! Ridicouous. And today, finally, I'll be doing some boxing again! Whei!

Everything here is so different, in Sweden everything is calm and sweet and not the least extravagant. Here it's a different story:P Last night I went to the champagne lounge where Javi works and since I'm his precious I got in for free, drank for free and was taken care of by the staff (sweetest people ever) and some brasilian models, two boys and two girlies who had the cutest faces ever and we danced all night :P Since the actual age limit is 23 I felt a bit out of place at first but everyone were super sweet and I ended up having an awesome night^^ A few days ago I had tea in the lounge of a five star hotel and the staff called me madam, I have starred in a promotion video for Javi and his mothers company (thank god it wasnt much) and on monday I'm going shopping with my new girls Natasha and Lea, we're headed for the boutiqes on Long Street and afterwards we're having a few tequilas. Oh dear, different it is:P And I'm as happy as I could ever be with Javi:D Love that man to pieces <3 And btw guys, I'm really sorry that I havnt posted any pics, I tried at the internet cafe a couple of days ago but for some reason my blogg didnt work there, dunno if it's because it's a swedish site but nevertheless it just didnt work..:( I'm gonna try again later tonight though cuz I really wanna show you some pics! Now I must go, Javi and I are going to Bo Kaap to look at the crazily painted houses:P Take care people! 

For those of you I havnt told in other ways already I just want to mention that javi is my boyfriend^^ I'll post a pic of him here in the blog as soon as I get hold of an internet cafe for those of you who havnt seen what he looks like too^^
Today I'm once again writing from school, yesterday I went to the huge gym again and today me and Javi are going to the big aquarium in the waterfront unless the weather clears up, then we'll go to the botanical gardens, but it seems highly unlikely.. Later I'm going to Jade (the club javi works at) to celebrate the birthday of Abrecht, a friend of Javi's who is super nice. I hope he'll have a nice time there :) Now I have classes again but I promise that I'll do all I can to upload some pics of my stay in the near future, I wanna show you!

Sorry for not having updated properly lately, I've been a busy lil girl :P The day before yesterday I went to the Cape of Good Hope with Javi and his clients and later on to a dinner with the staff at the club where he works. It was my first visit to an indian resturant and I definately enjoyed it^^
Yesterday I went shopping at the Waterfront and I also went to my new gym, its HUGE. But very well organised and the people there are nice so I think I'm gonna be able to settle in nicely:P Now I have a class but I'll return to you guys later tonight I promise. Take care everyone!
