Montana High School

Today was Saturday. Anton and I spoke this morning till late, and we fell asleep and woke up around 11 o'clock. We discussed what we are going to do for the concert at Montana High School, which they said we no longer have the job for. Anton and I decided that we are going to finish what we were busy with and give that to them, as they suggested. However, we are still trying to get the costumes that were suddenly taken away from us.

 Despite that, we worked hard today. Anton is watching television, and I am doing a little social media. 

I took a few photos of what Anton and I are busy with and will continue tomorrow.

 

Friday was work day

 Today was hard work, and we are not sure if we still have the contract for Montana School, but we have already made a few props and hats, so we will at least get something for that. However, we are still trying to get all the costumes.

I took a few photos of the work we did today. I worked on the paper mache, Anton worked on the props and hats.

This week has been tough with all the emotions running between Anton and me. He fell in love with someone else, and it seems like it's finally over. I am glad about that because Jan Hendrik is absolutely a narcissist. He played Anton, and that totally broke him.

I am here for him and will be there for him when he needs me. He hit me on the nose last Wednesday, but it's all about the frustration he has with the feelings he has for Jan Hendrik. He hurt me and Anton, and he had a big influence on my relationship. Still, I am not sure where I am going or if I will stay with Anton. Will we still have a relationship like the one we had for the last three years until we split in November 2023? I don't know. Time will tell, and I feel very uncertain. I actually don't do relationships. There are too many emotions flying around that I can't handle, but being alone is also hard.

Here are a few pictures I took of our work for the steampunk theme of the school.

Made up around 5 o'clock.

The last two days were full of fights between Anton and me. This morning, we made up around 5 o'clock. He is sleeping now, and it is just after 8 in the morning.

These last 5 months were terrible, and having a third person playing in your relationship is not funny, especially when you have been together for more than three years.

Yesterday, I officially started with the concert props. We are waiting for money to start buying fabrics and other things we need to make the clothing.

The school theme is Steampunk, so we are working with colors like gold, silver, bronze, and brown. Here are a few pictures that Anton took of the gun he created as a prop. He also took the photos.

The New Coffee Shirt

I got this mini mat a year or so ago, and it was just lying in the studio. I thought to make a shirt on it and started around Thursday. It was not a huge success, and I still need to work on it.

Friday Night at Raras

Anton and I went to a nightclub in Pretoria on Friday night. We had a couple of drinks, I think, a shooter, and enjoyed the evening a lot.

 We already knew a lot of people there, so we are all a small, little family.

This is me and Penny Human

This is me and Lily. She is going next year for a sex change to become a woman. She is a diesel mechanic. She is going to do it in Thailand because it is much cheaper there than in South Africa.

Tonight

I think when you love someone, that love hardly ever goes away. Somewhere deep inside you, it stays and lives, and you will always remember some moments, and some you will forget.
I have been with Anton for two weeks now. I am back in my apartment but I come and visit him. He is a good man whom I will always love, and someday, a long time from now, it may go away, but a little love will remain.

I am very lazy and need to start working on my shirt tomorrow.  What we do here is we sleep late and chat and enjoy each other company.

Anton makes these swimwear gowns. This is what a client ordered in Randburg, Johannesburg.

My New Shirt

I am sitting alone at Anton's house. I ask myself, what am I still doing here? I actually came to help make clothing for a concert for a school here in Montana (Montana High School).

Anton has found someone new. I am glad, for his sake, as it helps me to emotionally break with him. He said last night at a club to a lady that she must not infer; he is not going to give me another chance.

So this is the end of a story, a long time, three years together. And now he is on his own, I am leaving him so he can do whatever he wants.

I made myself a new shirt on Friday, this was Easter weekend.

I forgot to wash the fabric, causing it to shrink significantly. Consequently, instead of being a medium, it is now a small, rendering it unwearable. Since I was quite fond of the fabric, I need to sell this shirt.

Sitting and do Nothing

 I am alone tonight. I struggle a bit with money, but got food to eat. I have not drawn for a while, but as soon as I get my computer, I will be up and ready.

New Ideas for Jacket

Today, Anton and I went to MetroLifestyle where we buy our fabrics from. It is about 2 km from our house here in Reagan Park. We looked at shweshwe fabric to make our jackets. That was what I had in mind for my jacket which we want to wear to the modeling school fashion show next week.
