She'll be right

If you are wondering who will be right, she doesn't refer to any female in particular, it's just the kiwi way of saying "It's gonna be ok". And how do I know this? Of late I've been doing a lot of reading on New Zealand and I came across this interesting website matador network, so that's my source!

Thinking.. what to do next!

Things that lil things can do

It never ceases to amuse me how some things, which may seem insignificant, can bring so much joy. I just learnt that my Spanish classes are gonna resume next month and I got a spring in my step :) I learnt the short cut to writing spanish letters ñáéíóú¡¿ and I'm happy...
Also 'saw'an italian guy... original Italian... don't know what's it about Italy that I fantazise so much, but today I realized that anything (even an avg looking guy from Italy) can make me go hmmm :)... i'm smiling, the day's been good. :D

Sitzfleisch......


PRONUNCIATION:
(SITZ-flaish, ZITS-)


MEANING:
noun:
1. The ability to sit through or tolerate something boring.
2. The ability to endure or persist in a task.

My first impression of the word was that it's a synonym for patience. And maybe in some sense, it is. But it's certainly a more powerful word - it sounds powerful and it means a lot more. It's probably what defines the difference between a winner and a loser. If one has the ability to sit through daunting or boring or mundane or menial or a ball-breaker (i like that word), it could mean that s/he has conquered that task. Think about it, a boring job is not easy to do really and even though many may attempt it, only the one with sitzfleisch will complete it! hmm....

This post is so damn boring, I almost fell off to sleep while writing it. May be my sitzfleisch (or rather the lack of it) helped me finish it.
