freshly sharpened pencils...

'munt' omnyama - yep that's me. and i'm extreeeemely proud of the fact that we make such a fuss over the smallest things. i used to think that i had a msalala trained mind but nay, i am a garden salad through and through. phela for thina, ukuhlal' ehoteleni is still a huge deal. especially if they are on the upper end of the spectrum. it earns bragging rights on a stupid blog. [ukhokho ka-paris lo nicky really created a brand. bengiyicinsa lami!]

drove down with two guys from work and i now find myself at this city by the mexican border. checking in to the hotella was breezy. it's in the trendiest part of town and they put us in these cool suites. no sharing - this is even better. to even get to our floor you need to use your key card in the elevator. okay! dont laugh please, umfana wekhaya is experiencing new zintos. anyway, that bed is lush. no mani. why cant the bed i sleep on everyday be so comfy? kuthwa yi-therapitic kumbe yi-therapetic. asikwazi thina! even the mqamelos hug your neck. when you toss and turn, it's like getting a full body massage.

obviously, all the tv channels had to be surfed. bona konke phela. then inspect the armoire and drawers under the table. flip thru the mags on the coffee tafula. then we decided to check out the scene in town. here on a free trip, why not make the best of it. so, sh.t, shower, shave and then off to a bit of mdanso. we only had a one round then decided we were tired and needed our sleep.

then this morning before i took off to the msebenz' gatherings, i did the real munt' omnyama thing. hanti you know those tiny bottles of shampoo, conditioner and whatever else smells mnandi in the bathroom. i had some left over so i stashed them in my suitcase. ah, it's all paid paid. i checked when i got back, housekeeping has already replenished.

oh, nkosi yam'. one more night!
