Holidays are almost here!

This year is going to be a little different, usually we spend our time between christmas and new year in Sun City, swimming, eating, swimming, walking barefoot and not caring what we wear. This year my hubs side of the family (in laws) are planning to make a 10hour road trip to Cape Town. It would be the company of
+-10people including us.
It would be the first holiday, since ever, that I will be spending with them and its quite exciting. The only thing that I am not looking forward to is the drive down that way.
Sun City usually takes 6hrs from home and by the time we reach I get really pooped out, so this will be something. Not sure that I will taking out my swimwear though, it will be alot of sightseeing and shopping.
But thats cool, its not like I am a swimmer.  

Another project to think of!!!

My mum has been collecting post stamps for years now and has it stacked in a huge envelope, sealed. So I thought of bringing it out to her in a neat stamp book. It will take some time though but she is worth the trouble.

Shockingly, I think I fell on her in a sense that now I am getting a wee bit excited in the task.
Maybe I will finally start collecting my own for my book collection.(probably steal a few from her to get started lol).

Enjoying Eid in Johannesburg!

Eid has come again and this time it was to spend some time with my husbands family and we had a great time.

The holiday began on Friday when we took the 3hour long drive to johannesburg. When we reached my mums in law was waiting for us in the entrance lounge and she was very happy we came early and safely.

We spent Saturday doing a little shopping here and there, buying pizza for lunch and snacking at dinner time.
Eid day was on Sunday and that was a blast, as we went for breakfast to my hubs grans place and lunch and his uncles. The kids had an even bigger blast as the day was hot enough to jump into the pool.

I loved it as there was enough kids that day for me to kiss!

My both sister in laws came down, so there was alot to chat and too little time. The babies were just too adorable all dressed up. Sorry no photos to show off.

We came back home yesterday and both myself and hubs were exhausted. But we managed to get up early this morning for work.

Just a little chat for now, will blog more later.

Too much excitement to stop and write!

It's been a long time since I updated my blog. But here is a list of the fantastic things I have been upto:

1. Most importantly  I am proud to say that I have become an aunt for the 6th and 7th time. My darling cousin gave birth to a healthy baby boy on the 2nd of August and my darling sister in law Safia gave birth to a beautiful baby boy on the 19th of September. So you can only imagine how many times I managed to kiss those little angels.
2. I spent a week in johannesburg with my sister in law on her first week out of hospital, had a wonderful time playing and taking care of her and her two year old son and not to forget the small son.
3. I managed to start two new business's, a) Gift wrapping b) Kitchenware retail. (with holding my current job as insurance consultant)
4. Due to Safia's hands been full with the two boys now, she came up with a great idea to keep her hobbies in order as well, so we both decided to start writing a book. It is the most exciting thing ever, because this time we both would be each others inspiration and motivation.
5. My introduction is complete and I can't wait for her to show me hers when we exchange our hardcopies.
6. Studying is in order, proud to say that my darling hubby has written his exam and even enjoyed it. So thats one knot out of my shoulder. I, however, have to still write my exam. I am way ahead with time because the exam is next February. So you can imagine how ahead I am. I never leave anything for last minute.

For now thats all I can really think of, but if anything else pops up im sure I will find a way to get down blogging.

LESSON 11 - Good news! Bad news! Life still goes on

It has been a really long time since my last post. I guess I have been too busy jungling so many things in my life that I forgot my about caring to speak about myself.

Well since my hospital visit in july, things have been slowly getting better. VERY SLOWLY!!!
My fibromyalgia, sadly to say, has not treated very well and I guess I have lost hope in ever coming out of this constant pain. The infra red light seems to help a bit but even now its difficult to concentrate.

But I do have faith that everything has a reason and that God has a reason to test me in this manner.
He knows all and he never forces any ill upon his children.

If anybody out there reads this and knows about Fibromyalgia and by some miracle have found methods to get better, please do forward me the solution. Thanks

LESSON 11 - Boasting is Belittling!!!

I know I had previous published a post similar to this but mind you this time I have proof of how people treat money.

The idea of having alot of money is great. Even a total nut case asks for more money now and then. What really gets under my skin is the people who boast about it, KNOWINGLY!!!

I do not read the business section of the newspaper, because by the time I get to finish the major headine stories, its Sunday again and I buy a new one. Last Sunday however, I was able to get my hand on the business section and to my disgust all I found was the bragging sector of the rich in our country.

The manner in which this section of the newspaper dedicated itself to keep in tune with whats happening with the rich reminded me of a snooty school girl trying to belittle the rest of the economic sector. We are proud of the accomplishments we make to our society but showing off pubicly by telling us which hotels the rich stay in, is not a business solution or advice.

Here are some immature, disgusting topics in the articles;
1. Rating the rich in money worth order - naming hundreds by their economic value.
2. Naming the rich women, in order.
3. Providing us with detail info on the cars the rich drive.
4. This is priceless...................Naming the richest residential road in S.A.
5. Naming the brand name the rich follow, in , handbags , shoes, hotels, cars, vacation sites etc.

Do not get me wrong, I love my country! I hate how the people in our country use words in obtaining attention and credit. Our Country is beautiful, but I wish I could say the same for some of our people.

Not everybody can afford what others can. Remember jealousy is not in this message, its my concern that there is so much bragging going along that I had to wait until the last page to see even a small passage of advice to enhance my business.

That is what our newspapers need. Free advice to lift others in need. There is so many brilliant minds out there with obvious great knowledge in the business sector. Ask them to help provide advice to the public so that there can be more educated workers and less unemployment.

BASIC TRUTH - The good deed your right hand does, your left hand must not know!

Sunny Days Are Here!!!

After a long, long, long winter, we finally enjoying the full warmth of that glorious ball of fire in the sky. Most of us here in S.A. have already packed those fleecy attires but I am amongs't those who still has her warm cuddlers at hand.

Summer is still a few months away but Spring is just as good. Everything in our land is slowing waking up. The brown straw of land in front of our home has become to blush in its true baby green.
The animals(birds) are rejoicing and have become quite annoying with their constant singing on my window at 6am.

The cows behind my backyard fence have somehow become even more noisy. I personally think its my constant screaming at them that makes them happy.

Well, as for our fasting month. It has sadly come to an end last week wednesday when we celebrated EID.
It was a great month and a great day. Unfortunately I had so much of fun that I forgot to take photos! :(
I know, I know! it was quite dumb but I just did not get the opportunity. There was too much to  do and my family from all over came ,by the time we got done catching up, it was time for them to go to bed!!!

I have lots more to say but as usual time is my enemy!!!
