My Diary By Elderene Claassen on 3/31/2007

Even tiresome things can be enjoyable if you look at them right.
Getting caught in a rainstorm gives you wet shoes,
but also the chance to watch the complex pattern of perfect circles
that the raindrops spread across the puddles.
You can change your shoes when you get home,
but you’d never see the beauty of the water
if you stayed inside.

My birthday
My Diary By Elderene Claassen on 3/18/2007
It's happy birthday to me (and Queen Latifah). My day started with a 6km run this morning, church, lunch with friends and watching the recorded version of the Formula One with Thomas. Very relaxed. Of course my day started way before that with a 4am phone call from my baby sister Shireen who succeeded in being the first to congratulate me. A call from my friend Michele and sms messages from my sisters, Sheron and Dianne topped the day.
I have also started a new forum today, so please join in the discussion. I finally make my announcement!

Rainbows can be found in the strangest of places.

Even spilled petrol makes a beautiful swirl of colour
in the puddles left behind.

Cover Faces of DUO
My Diary By Elderene Claassen on 2/4/2007

DUO is a local magazine who ran a competition late last year for ladies between 18-55 to feature on their front cover. I entered the competition and was chosen as one of 21 finalists. It was then up to the public to sms (text) the name of the face they would like on the cover. Last Tuesday evening was the announcement of the 12 Faces of DUO during a lavish cocktail event. And guess what? Yes!!!! I was selected as one of the 12. This year sure starts out well for me. Check out the pics in the Photo Gallery.

I'm hoping to share some more great news with you shortly. But you'll have to keep your eye on this site to be part of it.

The year 2007
My Diary By Elderene Claassen on 1/1/2007
Happy New Year everybody. A New Year to start all over. To forget the mistakes of last year and to concentrate on starting afresh. Or will we continue on the same path and hope things will turn out good for us without making an effort. All the best and whatever you set out to do or accomplish this year, may it become a reality for you.

An exciting time
My Diary By Elderene Claassen on 12/22/2006

A midst all the chaos that the festive season brings, let us not forget the true meaning of Christmas. It's a time of giving, a time of remembering those in need, it's a special time to spend with family and friends. I got engaged to my Thomas last night, and this is truly a very special time for us as we pledge our commitment and love to each other. Merry Christmas everyone. Take care on the roads and keep safe

Happiness can come from simple and natural things:
mists over meadows,
sunlight on leaves,
the path of the moon over the water.
