Fracas Noir – Susanne Waldau – te Brake ~ for better or worse

At 7.30 Stephen arrived. I’d had a long soak in my bath and was red as a lobster in my face, but Stephen did a great job toning it down. 2 hours later (yep it takes ages to fix me up!) I had transformed from just an ordinary mum to Hollywood Starlet. I raided the [...]

In this case a picture does say more than a thousand words… Been shopping in town for a Club Fiera Salsa Party tonight. Now off for a bath until Stephen is coming to do my hair and make-up. God I love my life! Family lunch at Stempels Victoria was hungry Today’s outfit… Turtle neck and [...]

I’m very fortunate to work with great people… Yesterday’s repetition for OnlineSalsaTV in my livingroom… Kimberly & Sederick discussing routines …and showing off! Beautiful…Sebastian completely fell in love with Kimberly. I think the feeling was mutual

I feel under pressure. Pressure to perform and deliver. What’s new you say….OK, OK I hear you. But it’s not such a terrible thing as I work best under such curcumstances. Provided there’s a lot to do; there’s direction a common goal. But times are tough. Jobs are scarce and budgets are going into size [...]

I’m listening to this beautiful Cuban son… Morenita by La Orquesta Magica de la Habana. And I’m reading about the earthquake on Haiti. Perhaps one is so used to blocking images of poor, destitute, helpless… It’s so far away to once own safety. But lately I have forced myself to look a second time…not just [...]

I’m completely behind my schedule but I just have this urge to blog for 5 minutes. Besides it calms my nerves which are completely tensed. If I was a smoker, I would be chain smoking fags as we speak. Luckily I’m not. My day started at 7.45 am. A sleep in for me. I got [...]

Salsa dancing was great! Although we outnumbered the guys with 2:1, we practised shines and styling, which makes the dance so much more elegant as well as fun. I came home in a really good mood which has lasted all evening. I can’t wait before OnlineSalsa.com goes live….but until then check us out on facebook [...]

I was in a meeting when the phone went off. It was Victoria, but as I was in the middle of a conversation, I turned off the phone. 2 minutes later a colleague comes up with the land line phone. A man, whose voice I vaguely recognise, claims to work for the tax authorities and [...]

I did fall asleep, after my frantic writing session, getting those demons out of my system. It worked. That’s the thing with blogging. It completely lets your guard down, expose and undress you. There is very little to hide really (unless you are blogging to portray an alter ego which is not my purpose), and [...]

The’re been a small revelation in the past 45 minutes of contemplation. My as for late anxiety attacks often associated with the start of the working week (did it ever stop?) is largely due to upholding a perfect facade of being in the office and delivering results. The latter, in theory should not be so [...]
