Exams 101

I just reached over a 1000 hits and felt the need to show my appreciation, celebrate and share a little more... but as law school EXAMS are almost here I have to keep it short and sweet! THANK YOU to those supporting my adventures, and I hope you will continue to follow me along my journey... 

As its exam time for most, I thought it would be appropriate to share my mantra for kicking ass in exams. 

EXAMS 101:

1. PLAN a timetable and stick to it! you only have yourself to answer to, so DON'T fool yourself.

2. Avoid Procrastination- especially social networks and series.

3. Dedication is the key to success, as life is all about hard work- so apply yourself!

4. Stay Motivated  and FOCUSED with your End GOAL in mind...

5. Life is about BALANCE- it is only a month of sacrifice, take reasonable breaks when studying, exercise and eat healthy.

Remember to breath and keep calm, the stress and pressure can be overwhelming but don't allow it to control you. Master you own destiny, make the years hard work and effort pay off.  I try to follow these simple steps to help me survive exams, I hope they will help you. These steps are not only for exams, they are life lessons that mould you in to an individual, who can deal with "real/ working world" pressures. A bonus, as students we are rewarded by vacation, three months of lazy days are awaiting my fellow UCT Student, so give it your all and have no regrets!!!

Stay Focused and be the Master of your own destiny...

Time to Dine and have fine Wine

Pre-exams, UCT Residents and societies host their end of year formals. Saturday evening I had the pleasure of photographing, UCT WineSoc Formal.

The evening was filled with music, laughter and fine wine...The formal was extraordinary, as it was held in Blouberg at the beach, with table mountain in the background.

A perfect night out, with a relaxed vibe, friendly people, ready to get their pictures taken. 

There were yummy snacks with avo and salmon, and lots of fine wine for the guests pleasure...

There were three ladies  that stood out for me, their dresses are perfect for Summer. The lovely lady below with her boob tube long black dress, looked stunning. I want this  LBD its  perfect for any event...

The lady with this mint chiffon, over the shoulder, layered dress looked absolutely fabulous with her gold accessories and loose curls- the sandals were a perfect touch for the beach and comfortable dancing- She looked a bit like a Greek goddess and her bf on the right, looks exactly like Jake from the series "Awkward".

I LOVE the third ladies printed dress, the short front and elongated back adds a casual element to her party dress, its a Must have for Summer... I don’t drink but if you are an avid wine drinker join Wine Soc 2013! It is only R100 for the year and you’ll make new friends with a common interest in fine wine…

Got to love UCT

Boys and their Toys

I  love to photograph Fashion and all things beautiful but on Saturday as a favour to my dearest RJ, I took photographs at a TRD event and it is so true, boys, no matter how old they get, love to play with cars...

The TOYOTA RACING DEVELOPMENT OWNERS CLUB are no exception... they held a Dyno day- basically to see the output of their engines, and men came from as far as George to attend the event. 

  

These TRD young men are quite exceptional, it was interesting to engage with them to see the culture behind the club- its all about the love of cars- in this case Toyota's! They held events similar to this to raise funds, and give back to charity, which I think is amazing!

Its a little like FAST AND THE FURIOUS without girls, music and everything illicit. The focus was speed and cars but I can't give you more details as its really not my speciality. However, it was interesting to learn a bit more about this cultural aspect of Cape Town, these men, their families, cars and traditional boerewors all form part of the familiar Cape Town atmosphere. There was a little bit of tension when the different car clubs arrived at the venue, but I guess that's just testosterone kicking in as every man wants his car to be the fastest...

TOYOTA RACING DEVELOPMENT OWNERS CLUB get boys off the street, away for the dangers of illegal street racing promoting a family orientated environment, where men can share in their love for cars...
