i love cape town tv!

so i was watching this documentary last night about farming and how genetically modified seeds are being used more and more these days. a specific seed "manufacturer" owns a specific gene of these plants!! this is mind-boggling! i am currently researching this and will blog about this in much greater detail. it was just too shocking to not share immediately. and yes, cape town tv was the broadcaster of this documentary! :D growing more love for this tv station day by day. (this morning, they had a doccie on why chocolate is good for you!!)

if there's one thing that you should teach your child, it should be...

...confidence to unleash his/her potential.

what would you say?

the lingering manuscript

i hate research! there, i said it!!! i have studied for about 7 years, only to realise that i hate research! i mean, i LOVE everything that is the natural world, but for the life of me, i don't want to disect and try to understand every little thing. i mean, isn't it just taking away from the awe or the magic of how everything functions. i mean, this is to say that we can actually understand everything correctly...

ag, anyway, so i am more and more drawn to the idea that the root of the problem of global climate change is greed and that people are searching more and more for comfort in the things that they own. they compete and compete to get things at the expense of each other and the planet and once they get what they want, they want more and it goes on and on. they are never satisfied cos they material things that they want do not fill the "gap" in their souls.

so basically what i'm saying is that, and what many people have said before, that these people need love, unconditional love. i think there should be more and more focus on spiritual deepening and meditation, in order for people to really understand who they really are, the reflection of love.

just a few thoughts, practically speaking, i think it would be a one person at a time thing but hey, i think oprah made a big impression in this light. :) er, yeah, that's all my ramblings for today. i know, garbled, not well constructed but im working on that. for now, it's just getting things out of my head and down on the screen.

the point of this post was actually to say that i am still finishing off my manuscript...

bitch and moan #1 news cafe artscape

I was sitting at Newscafe at the Artscape in Cape Town and had ordered a ham and cheese croissant with garnish. I had one piece of a croissant and was about to have some of the rocket when I noticed a live and wriggling worm on the rocket!!! I called the waitress over and pointed it out. She then said to me that she'll seat two new customers and then take my plate away. So, she left the wriggling worm for my friend and I to watch for a couple of minutes. She then removed the plate and did not apologize or say anything. She came back after five minutes and said that the manager would be with me shortly. After waiting for over 10mins, I got up and went to the waitress to ask her where the manager was as we were still waiting. She went to the kitchen and the manager appeared. He came over to me and I told him that I had been waiting for him, he replied that he was doing a stock check at the back of the restaurant! He then tried to convince me that they wash their salad, which was ridiculous because the rocket was BONE dry! And how is it possible that a worm was able to withstand rapidly running water and cling on to the rocket? The word "sorry" was never mentioned!
