Kem Concert

On the 3March I went to the Kem Owens Concert what a moving experience.  The people looked lovely dressed to the nines; you could feel the love in the air. I was so warmed by how many men came to the concert with their better halves, it made being in love so worth it. The concert was at the Eliis Park Indoor Arena, the place isn’t that big so the concert was very intimate and of course Kem was engaging us throughout the show. I wished it never had to end; I wouldn’t mind living my life in arena with Kem singing for the rest of my life. He is gifted, his vocals at show where as good as on his Cd’s and No he wasn’t miming he had full live band. I could feel my tears drawing closer as he sang “Why would you say” the song is that deep for me. If you know me then you know I let the tears stream down my cheeks.

this was my outfit for the night i love it...!

MUSIC

I often sit up at night listening to your melodic whispers caressing my neck all the way done to my spin
And dreaming of the day we finally meet
The day that you are tangible enough for me to wrap you tightly in my arms and never let you go
The day the taste of your kiss will see through my heart
And silence the nerves
The day that I will be mersmerised by your beauty
The day that you will lift me up in the air only to catch me again
The day we will stroll hand in hand with random kisses on the forehead
The day that forever begins
Do you all the beautiful things people say about you?
They say you have the power to connect two souls
The power to heal and mend the broken
The ability to take people through vivid personified beauty in the mind
I smile when I hear all these things about you
wanting to carry my heart and legs and run to the future
To meet you
So that forever can start
I love you
I mean it
My heart belongs to you
I know you love me too
I will wait for you
However long it takes

LINDIWE MATOLENGWE

This young lady is a 3rd year film student at City Varsity. She has been my friend since grade four and I say this from deepest part of my soul, that when you define beauty you do not leave this girl out. She is an African queen her beauty is rare but stares at you right in the face, you cannot miss her even if you wanted to.

These pictures were taken for a school mate’s photography assignment, I had one look at them and I knew she had to be a part of my blog.I have been nagging her for years to become a model, I don’t know if she hasn’t done so because she doesn’t want me hogging her spotlight (giggles) or because she is shy, but I pray  that God drops someone on  her door step who is eager to showcase her beauty to the world

These are the pictures that really stood out for me her timeless beauty excites my entire being. xoxo

Valentines Day

What does Valentines Day mean to me? With Valentines Day coming up on Tuesday I’m forced to sit back and gather thoughts of what the day really means to me. I have never done this, I have just bowed to norm that everybody who is in love wears red and white and shows the whole world that they have a significant other, well at least that’s how it happened in high school.

Well as clique as it is I celebrate it anyway. I think it’s a day where I celebrate the love I have for my partner together with the rest of the world. A day where I get showed with gifts, love to show appreciation and evoke warm fuzzy feelings through my blood. A day when I get reminded why I fell in love with my partner. So i don’t think I have been accustomed to the norm out of ignorance but rather because I love what the day stands for. Yes I will admit that I have a vague idea of why it came into existence but the is a reason why I haven’t researched on it and that’s because they might be a chance I don’t like this Valentine guy and destroy what the stood for in my heart. If you are in love loose up, tell your partner you love them shower them with love its allowed.

Durban

This past weekend I had a chance to vacation in Durban for the weekend. It was a long drive which I do not regret at all because I was with very entertaining people and the music we were jamming to was nice. When we arrived at the guest house we were welcomed by the sound of the crashing waves and the cool breeze oozing out of the ocean, immediately letting it be known that we are here to relax. I had a lovely weekend the weather was perfect, I would do it all over again.

Christmas In Limpopo

Every year around Christmas time the whole family heads down to Limpopo, my grandparents home  to celebrate Christmas in a rural village called Kome.This has been a tradition that has been alive in the family for as long I could remember, even after the loss of my grandmother the tradition still lives on. This year hasn’t been any different, 15 family members, lots of food, arguments, laughter and mostly being surrounded by loved ones. The air smells fresh and clean the sun isn’t merciful, it burns everything it sets its eyes on, at night you marvel at the stars and the full moon but you are sure to have mosquitoes drawing blood from your flesh. Its home though I still love it. I think we can relate that we always have that one family member who is the centre of attention, the one who is the loudest and talks over everyone, who refuses to listen to reason, the instigator of most of arguments, that family member unfortunately is my mother. Over the years we have become  immune to her behaviour, it doesn’t bother us if anything its amusing. She definitely knows how to make our stay memorable.  This year we decided to have a reunion with a few of  our cousins, it was of to a slow start, at one point we thought it wasn’t going happen mainly because of transport issues. The majority of us can drive but only one person has a license, that person being my younger sister. so the dilemma was that we needed to take 2 cars so that we could drop the one car at my cousins house pour fuel in the other car and drive back.  Our biggest obstacles was metro cops an fuel! because where my cousin stays is not much of a village so there was a 110% chance that one of us would be slapped with traffic fine. Somehow we manged to find the solution , and it was that we weren't going to drop any of the cars lol not that we didn't try. the solution dawned on us when 6km's into our journey the car we were supposed to come back with, yes the very one we needed to pour fuel in decides that it wont go anyway until we fill up its tank . so we had to use the other car to tow the one that broke down home. it was a eventful 2hours i must let you know, but as the night dawned we forgot our problems and as the alcohol filled our system the was much laughter that eased the tension. Christmas was out of the ordinary but in a good way. Same tradition with a few different faces, our grandparents are probably happy where they seeing us so united.

Solange

 I just love Solange her Fashion style is so old school yet vintage and ethnic at the same time.A definite risk taker when it comes to Fashion, she always makes a bold statement , I love her.

2011

As the year draws to an end I’m confronted with all that I have endured this year, may I add it hasn’t been the easiest year of my existence. It has been a rollercoaster ride one thing became evident “Hard work doesn’t always pay off”, its all about Gods timing. I think I particularly struggled with sphere in my life because I’m such a goal orientated being who loves knowing what is going to happen next. I love to plan, without a plan I feel lost. This year I cried enough tears to fill up the Indian Ocean. It was a hard year, but I’m still standing. Earlier this year I took the decision to spend more time with myself and do introspection of who I was and why I was created, it really was one of the best decisions I took. It warmed my heart opened my horizon to what I could achieve and all that lies before me.  I meet some beautiful people this year, built friendships I would defiantly want to take to the grave. I got to see Asa perform live, a breath taking and moving experience. Her talent is rare and raw very few will live to be this great. I’m looking forward to next year though, I have a good feeling about it, I continue to dream, this year’s tribulation will not hamper who I am to become.

Going The Extra Mile

As I blog this my little sister “ok she isn’t little she is 20 years old, but she always be little in my eyes “is stranded in Cape Town. She is visiting a friend and they missed the bus stop, so the bus was going around in circles with them while they were trying to figure out where to get off. They both didn’t have airtime so she bbm’s me asking for an airtime transfer so they could call someone to come meet them at the bus stop. Vodacom services are down, so in a state of frenzy I call the one person I thought could help me but they sleeping and they don’t seem bothered to even find out what is going on. I can’t call mom because she’s is going to freak out so bad she would probably not allow us to go anywhere out the province alone.  Is it ok for me to say I’m hurt? It is as if someone is clinching and squeezing out blood from my heart. It hurts. This is my little sister she means the world to me, and I’m just asking you to drive to the garage and get her airtime. I then sit alone and cry my eye balls out because if it were me I would move mountains , swim the deepest ocean to help someone I cared about, but then I’m reminded we all not the same. I pray about it and by the time they get off the sun hasn't completely set so they able to make their way back home safely. Sometimes I want to change this about myself, how I can give whole heartedly and expect nothing in return but the one time you need a favour people aren’t bothered. So many horrid scenarios where being played in my head as to what to could happen to them , how I could lose her , and how I would never forgive myself if I did. We may fight, not see eye to eye from time to time but we were carried in the same womb we share a connection only we understand. I listen to Feist -lonley lonley and the song just brings a sense of peace to my soul and an emance feeling of everything is ok, thank God she arrived safely.
