Music of my mind

SO yesterday I worked at this Wine convention thing downtown Calgary for Wines of South-Africa and it was awsome. THey paid me good cash and I got to learn alot about wines. Plus at the and they gave me 5 botlles of awsome wine. It was a fun day; except now my issue is that I gotta store the wine somewhere becuase I cant have it in my schools residence where it is right now. So hopefully I can fins some altrenate storgae somewhere else untill the summer. It's my dad's birthday tommorow and I cant be there but I guess a phone call will do for now untill I go home at the end of April. I love my dad he is my hero.
This whole year I havnt really been very pumped about this summer coming up becuase I have to work my butt off for school. "If youv'e read my last blog youd understand". But I love my job at JABULANI and hopefully I can find another job aswell that I can work at part-time while working at Jabulani. I have faith that the Lord will provide me with an excellent job just like he did last year. I have like so many paper and things due these next few weeks and I cant wait untill it's all over becuase then I get to go home for a week. YESSSS I cant wait to see my dog. She is so freakin CUTE and my mom says she is getting so smart and just cuter daily. She is so little and freaking adorable. ANyhoo I gatta get back to my work,
I will blog agian later...

Peace Out

My oh My ...

Today was a long and boring day. Except I started playing some Counterstrike on my friends computers and that was kindoff fun.... I am probably hooked. Everyone who plays that game gets hooked hahahha. Other then that I am kinda pissed at some things my school is doing. That goes along with alot of other people I know that feel the same way. THe school is hiking tuition cost to like almost eight hundred dollars compared to the know almost seven hundred per class. They are also saying that they want to start giving out more bursuries...$500 dollar bursuries... WOW so they are taking more money from everyone to give some people their money back. If you think about it, some wont be gettin $500 bucks back so really what their doing is taking money from the kids who dont do well or great and giving it to the people who are really succeeding. That sounds really SKETCH to me... It is not fair. If this is not where the money is going than where is it going.
Next teusday we have this meeting that the students can go to and hear what they have to say, that call it their "proposal" Except we all know they have allready made up their minds.
Tution at this school is allready so much and just to add to it I feel extremely sorry for the souls who have to stay n rez like the first year students. Rex is another huge rip-off. For a one bedroom appartement with a super small fridge and a microwave oven that is on "crack" they squish 2 more into the living room with a sorta devider wall with no door. SO you have four guys living in a 1 bedroom apartement and each pays almost over three thousand dollars a semester to live there. We are here about 7 and a half to 8 motnhs. If you do the math that is like between 14 and 16 hundred dollars a months. For a really small room. And plus it's not even a really nice building. With that kindoff money between the four of us we can rent a Penthouse Condo in a really sweet building probably closer and in the heart of Downtown Calgary.... I dunno if you ask me I think we are getting gipped off.
I don't want to sound like I'm wining but it is true and trust I am not the only one who feels this way about stuff.
"My oh my"
Well these are my thoughts.
Respond if you want to all I'm saying is if you go to this school and don't like these descisions being made come to the meeting on tuesday the 22 of March.
And lets hear this "Proposal"

Anyhoo Im doing allright, it's crunch time of the year alot of things due and exams comin up, oh my oh my....
The life of Dan... and others....
Im going to bed im tired
forgive the spelling it's late...

Peace out

Talking Drunkin gibberish

I had a few days of school becuase we have like this prayer day on tuesday, so no one has classes. Plus i dont have class on monday. So yea it has been a nice ,little long weekend so far, I have done some homework and worked and slept. That is pretty much it; oh yes and of coarse eating...
I did alot of thinking too this weekend and I ended up breaking up with my girl friend... She is an awsome girl and we had a alot fun together, I just didnt feel right about our relationship, it has been hindering me for a while.. Anyhoo we still talk and I think and hope that everything will work out fine and that we can continue to be awsome friends. She is definitaly an awsome girl.
Other than that eventfull night I am doing pretty good, I am eager to go home for a week at the end of APril to say the final bye to my friends and Church. My parents move to Calgary in June so I will be here waiting for their arrival. I have some school papers to write and three final exams to study for so I'll be pretty busy untill I go home, but when I do it will be a nice little break.
I think we are having a poker game tonight, that should be pretty fun i think
Anyhoo
enough said .
I'll blurb agian later
Peace out ,...

Jabulani

Allrighty then... So I started working at this restuarant on 17th Ave. Downtown Calgary Called Jabulani South-African Restuarant. I am thrilled that I got the job there, it is just such an awsome place to work at I must say. All the staff members are awsome and very kind... And the best part is, most of them speak my home Language Afrikaans. I started working there on Wednesday of last week and it has been going great. I love the restuarant atmosphere and I absolutely love the fact the a ton of the customers are also from South-Africa. It is also great to see others cultures come in too. It shows you that not everyone is boring and only stick to their own cultures food. THese people come out and they want to experience a little South-Africa for them selves. With the huge selection of wines and South-African beers, who wouldn't want to not come experience it for them selves. Not to mention the freshly made by the owner's Biltong and Droe Wors, an awsome South-African treat for anyone. Then we get to the amazing main coarse meals and awsome desserts, wow.... I am drooling. They serve Boerewors and Oxtail and Cape Malay Curry, Lamb potjie and One of South-Africa's main dishes Boboti. THere are just so many more I can mention but lets go on to the amazing dessert menu. Koeksisters, yes thats right freshly made koeksisters by the head chef, and also Milk tart(Melk tert) they also serve Bannana Samousas smothered in chocolate sauce and frsehly wipped cream this is definitaly a customer favourite.
It is an awsome restuarant and I really think if you are in the Calgary Area you should look it up and come in for some South-African food.

Anyhoo I Am heading off

Peace out...

A new Song written....

Here is a song I wrote after writing a paper for one of my classes. The paper was on Sanctification and while I was researching I stumbled across this cadence written by Isaac Watts. It is the first verse in the song. I thought it was so beautiful so I was inspired to write a song with it. I hope you like it oh and please do comment.

SANCTIFIED

Written by: Isaac Watts (Sweet is the Work, my God, My King Psalm 97) and Dan Nel.

Music by: Dan Nel

Sin (my worst enemy before)
Shall vex my eyes and ears no more;
My inward foes shall all be slain,
Nor Satan break my peace again.

Sweet is the work, my God, my King,
To praise Thy Name, give thanks and sing,
To show Thy love by morning light
And talk of all Thy truth at night.

We need to be sanctified like the Holy one
To become like our King
Set apart from the wicked things
To be Holy and live eternally
Sanctified, sanctified

Sweet is the day of sacred rest,
No mortal cares shall seize my breast.
O may my heart in tune be found
Like David’s harp of solemn sound!

When darkness falls we rest our heads
The dreams of Zion in our beds
The trumpets blow a crashing sound
God‘s zealous love In which were found

We need to be sanctified like the Holy one
To become like our King
Set apart from the wicked things
To be Holy and live eternally

Sanctified, sanctified
Let us be, oh sanctified
