My birthday celebration

On 16th of June was my birthday,fathers day and youth day. This year 2013 has been a year that I celebrated my birthday with two other occasions being Father's Day and youth day. The first person to wish me happy birthday was my husband then followed by my mother who called in as early as 6am. I was spoiled by my husband who made me breakfast in bed. Wow I just loved the feeling.

We left for Rietvlei Dam in centurion at midday for a braai with the whole family and my niece Ruiza and my brother in law Yope. The day was very sunny.

Photo's were taken, braai went on well. Not every woman would feel the way I feel when it comes to be spoiled by the love of my life. Among my very good friends, only few are treated with love and care and are shown the love I get from my husband. Some even get to an extent of telling me that they wish they were in my shoes. I reply to them that everything has got time, their time to be spoiled will come at the right time as they just have to be patient about it.

Later at night we went out to watch the Malawian musician Lucius Banda who was performing live in Mayfair Johannesburg. The concert was boring and the were fights every second minute.

Madiba Day 18th July!

On Thursday morning, I left for Thabo Mbeki Village Day Care Centre in Diepsloot for the Mandela Day. Before heading for  Diepsloot, I had to drop off my baby girl at Crèche in Midrand. Got to the day care centre around 10am and only to find that the celebration was starting at 12:30pm. I rushed to the nearest filling station to crab myself a meat pie and soft drink. On my way back to the centre I was stopped by a traffic officer at the roadblock and was asked to produce a drivers license of which I did produce.

As I produced it I was asked if I registered for traffic register and I looked very stupid as I did not do it but had to lie and he believed what I said. Got to my business of the day. The celebration started with the little ones singing a birthday song for the icon Madiba. Wow such a blessing for him to reach this far in life.

Seeing the little ones sing was so joyous. The children were then offered food and drinks. After lunch , we had to play with the little ones games and jumping on the jumping castle and this was so challenging for the other kids.

This day made me realize how important it is to help out the need and show them the love that they deserve. Poor people out there need food to eat in order to survive. I 'am kindly asking for donations of food stuff, Toys, funds or anything you can afford for the little ones at Thabo Mbeki Village Day Care Centre in Diepsloot. Your help will b highly appreciated.

Chatting Online

I 'am deeply attached to my technology. Upon awakening, I reach for my white iPhone. It is white to match my present fascination with the colour white. It is dressed in a specially selected cover so when I touch it I feel the cool hard steel in my hands. It really thrills me.

Hungrily I begin reading e-mails and whatsApp messages received during the night. I feel starved for information, connection and chat. Across my room I gaze lovingly at my MacBook also white in colour, covered with its luminous purple cover bought at the iStore in Hong Kong during my December holiday in 2012.

I sometimes wonder what it is like to have old fashioned voice to voice communication. I have become so used to streaming online music and radio and watching a You Tube video whilst I WhatsApp a quick thought or message, Facebook an engaging post or tweet an article.

Technology has been my playground ever since I bought my iPhone and IPad, the place where I gain and give information. I find it satisfying as it interacts with me on a daily basis. On the other hand I'm being blamed by my partner that this technology has put me off on having good quality time with him. Hey without technology, I don't think I would find life interesting.
