Things I probably should’ve given Naeem the heads-up on

via Hamish

1. I have a real problem managing time.

2. Hence I’m a pro-procrastinator.

3. It is difficult for me to wake up early especially if there is nothing pressing to attend to.

4. I sing along to jingles and other tracks when I watch TV or listen to the radio.

5. Chaos is my element.

6. I’m always up for eating strange things.

7. I like the bitterness of schweppes dry lemon and malts.

8. My dreams are often strange and textbook. (There’s one I would like to translate into an art installation; a swimming pool shell filled with condoms that have had little notes placed in them by people writing about their regrets or unfulfilled dreams)

9. I’m easily distracted.

10. I can lose hours on repetitive games.

11. I really, really don’t like conflict.

12. I’m selfish. Not because I want to be, but because I don’t know how to be any other way. (I am an only child)

13. My stuff is everywhere.

14. I speak silly.

Purgatory on the earthly plain; that’s what this April is proving to be.

Deadlines to the thick of my eyebrows, my unkept promises and weekends that are never mine, but hey, one thing at a time right?

So in the midst of all this mechanical mindlessness, it’s centering to be reminded of the things you love.

So thank you for that Fatima.

 

Tag notes:

List 7 things you love and then tag 7 bloggers to do the same. They should also download the Kreativ Blogger award image and upload it to their blog.

  1. Sg33k. (Not a thing as such, but everything, even when he’s not a morning person)
  2. Cardcraft (nothing quite like scissors, paper, glue and creation)
  3. Brewed coffee first thing in the morning.
  4. Breathing in the green of the Tsitsikamma forest. (A sniff is long overdue)
  5. Notebooks
  6. Spare time
  7. Family

I tag the first seven people to leave comments.

The reluctant tagger- Proudly SA- the last i promise (maybe)

“A Proudly South African meme inspired by EXMI
Rules:
Link back to the Meme creator - Caz
Link back to the person who tagged you – this girlie here.
Give at least 5 reasons why you love SA
Let me know once you’ve done it.”

Our country is a troubled teenager. Its soul wrestles and sweats with the burly demons of crime, poverty and corruption. It thrashes with poor service delivery, reckless political mouthpieces, unemployment, class struggle and HIV/Aids.

But it still believes; this teenager harbours hope.
And I still believe, though on some days, it gets a bit hard to. But that is the nature of Faith.

And with that, I give you 5 reasons why I love South Africa:

  1. Our freedom of expression/religion. I can be Muslim, Jewish, Christian, Hindu, Taoist, Bhuddist, Wiccan, whatever. I can wear the symbols of my faith freely and there is no obstacle to my practice.
  2. We all go on about what a beautiful country this is, because, what do you know,  it really is a beautiful country. Click here for pictures the husband took over at Chapmans Peak, Cape Town. That’s just one place.
  3. Our internet access is not censored or restricted. (But we’d really like more bandwidth please)
  4. We managed a fairly peaceful transition into democracy back in 1994, when the world thought we’d burn each other up. And that gives me real hope for our future.
  5. We are a nation of creatives and achievers: in the arts, technosphere and on the sports field. 
Your turn.
