looking forward to chrisy!!

i just finished putting up our xmas tree and that really made me start seriously thinking about christmas hey...its like in wat,10days away and thats so just now. who would've thot the year would go by so quickly!its been a whirlwind of a year and now its suddenly over. i remember being in zim last/early this year so clearly ka its ridiculous...
so the past year...its been a great year,pf course it has coz at the beginning i did declare that it would be THE year and it turned out to be actually! had a smashing 21st with the whole limo thang....that was hot!then went to melbourne twice,saw lion king,hung with friends etc...also went to a couple of parties,made new friends,found old friends thru the internet...yeah its really been one heck of a year! and now its gonna be capped of with my brotha arriving from zim for holiday on tuesday! how cool is that...too cool i tell ya! anyway i hope that the holiday is not just a good one but a great one and that everything is all good.not forgetting to celebrate the birth o christ our saviour Jesus and remember that this holiday is all about him....yup.here's to 2007 baby! One year closer to the world cup in SA...hooray!!

the year so far...

its jus soooo crazy how quickly the year has gone by...i cant get over it coz its jus too deep. i mean this time last year i had been in zim 4 like 2 weeks and i remember it like it was yesterday man...how crazy! like where has the year gone u know...wat happened.its as if i woke up today and its december the 6th already! hectic stuff hey! but i reckon its been a great year hey,like i came into this year saying it was gonna be my year and in a way it has...i manged to do a whole lotta things this year like going to melbourne twice, my 21st limo thang,went to a wedding and a ball, had 2 new fones etc...its not all that big the things but 4 me its pretty massive yeah! so yeah,it really has been quite the year for me and i've loved most of it. another thing is that i didnt miss home as much this year at all.maybe coz i was there earlier this year and also hanging with friends from zim made it so much easier...
anyway it has been good and i hope next year is even betta...wat with graduating and stuff...hopefully everything is gravvy yeah..

learning salsa

went with my friend chea to this free salsa lesson thing in Northbridge...it was really cool hey! its actually not hard to pick up at al surprisingly! u know wat it reminded me of was doing maSteps for like a wedding in zim hey...the whole 1, 2, 3...cha cha cha...etc. i had so much fun, i'm considering going to sign up for full lessons...but ya...dnt know if i will be committed enough to go to the city every tues night huh...kinda lazy mate!
anyways, it was all good

examz r ova!

i finished my examz on wed arvo and began my holiday hey...was so glad to jus get it out the way i tell u...the joy and relief of having no tutes to prepare or examz to study for is jus brilliant man...ahhh!
my examz this semester were quite hard actually hey, like my 2 economics units (as usual) were sooo hectic,and they were my 1st and last one so "wat fun!" banking theory and practice had a question in it which i new nothing about...like it was on an article from the lecture notes at the back sumwhere and i had only glanced at it...so yup,seriously knew next to nothing and it was like 16 mark question or sumthing! u couldnt even begin to lie coz it was that specific a question...sumthing like 'wat trouble was NAB in and wat measures did the Reserve Bank take?' so if u didnt know ka...u were screwed...which i was! but ah well...wateva! gonna see wat happens huh.
anyway, at least its all over and hopefully i manage to pass them all...gotta finish this degree man...i'm tired of education...honestly!

To the left
To the left
Everything you own in the box to the left
In the closet that's my stuff
- YesIf I bought it nigga please don't touch
And keep talking that mess, that's fine
But could you walk and talk at the same time
And It's my mine name that is on that Jag
So remove your bags let me call you a cab
Standing in the front yard telling me
How I'm such a fool -
Talking aboutHow I'll never ever find a man like you
You got me twisted

You must not know about me
You must not know about me
I could have another you in a minute
matter fact he'll be here in a minute - baby
You must not know about me
You must not know about me
I can have another you by tomorrow
So don't you ever for a second get to thinking you're irreplaceable
So go ahead and get gone
And call up on that chick and see if she is home
Oops, I bet ya thought that I didn't know
What did you think I was putting you out for?
Cause you was untrue
Rolling her around in the car that I bought you
Baby you dropped them keys hurry up before your taxi leaves
Standing in the front yard telling me
How I am such a fool -
Talking aboutHow I'll never ever find a man like you
You got me twisted

interesting item!!

HOW MEN AND WOMEN DIFFER NICKNAMES*
If Laura, Kate and Sarah go out for lunch, they will call each other Laura, Kate and Sarah.* If Mike, Dave and John go out, they will affectionately refer to each other as Fat Boy, Godzilla and Four-eyes.

EATING OUT* When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in R50, even though it's only for R115.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back. * When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.

MONEY* A man will pay R2 for a R1 item he needs.* A woman will pay R1 for a R2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale

BATHROOMS* A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel from Dischem.* The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.

ARGUMENTS* A woman has the last word in any argument.* Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.

CATS* Women love cats.* Men say they love cats, but when women aren't looking, men kick cats.

FUTURE* A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband. * A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.

SUCCESS* A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.* A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

MARRIAGE* A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.* A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.

DRESSING UP* A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the bins, answer the phone, read a book, and get the post.* A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.

NATURAL* Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.* Women somehow deteriorate during the night.

OFFSPRING* Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favourite foods, secret-fears and hopes and dreams. * A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY* Any married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing. * What a woman says: C'mon...This place is a mess. You and I need to clean.Your trousers are on the floor and you'll have no clothes if we don't do the laundry now. * What a man hears: C'MON ... blah, blah, blah YOU AND I blah,blah, blah, blah, blah ON THE FLOOR blah, blah, blah, NO CLOTHES blah, blah, blah, blah, NOW

breaking up

i watched the movie The Break-Up which is out on dvd now and i must say it was different. it wasnt the typical love story that you get in all the movies now, it was more realistic in that the ending was not wat you expected. like,they do really break-up and go their seperate ways and not the usual mumbo-jumbo that you break up and 'hey presto!' they're back together again!. movie really need to start having real story lines and not this fantasy crap they churn out 24/7! coz you know wat, it just distorts reality when they have those soppy storylines they have...like honestly,they show people always happy, and in love, and getting along and there's always the perfect ending...but all that is b******t (excuse the french). i mean seriously, real life is just a whole different ball game man...people are not perfect, they have sad endings to relationships etc...thats whats real...that's what happens.
these people that make movies just set us normal people for failure...or wat we percieve as failure coz we compare ourselves and our lives to the stuff they have on tv and in movies. its such CRAP! CRAP, CRAP, and more CRAP!
hahaha...lol...so ya...not in a great mood today as you can see...jus stress from bloody presentation i have to do in like 30mins of which i aint to prepared for...but ahhh well. at least there's 3 other people to share in my misery of standing up in front of a class full of strangers hey...
okay..let me get back to memorizing my part then head home...its been a long uni day!
out

devil wears prada...

so yesterday my friend chea decided to ngo watch a movie and managed to drag me along...(not too much of a movie person,rather watch dvds in the comfort of my own home) but anyway,decided to go coz it had been like 6months since i had watched a movie at the cinema. so we went straight after uni and had some waffles with cream and ice-cream in the city be4 the item...it had been a while and so the waffles were oh so going down! yummo! so we went to watch the movie and i must say it was quite enjoyable hey. it didnt blow me away but it wasnt a total waste of money either. i must say tho,Meryl Streep is a great actress hey,like she played her charater so well it was even deep. then the clothes in that movie ka...just makes you wanna be rich and buy like haute couture stuff man!! the chanel, valentino,langerfeld,gucci,prada products on show were HOT!!! one day man...one day is all i can say! just you wait...hahaha i'll be honest and say i cant really picture me buying a US$2000 bag! i mean come on now! but you never know hey...mmmm

the opposite sex...mmm!!

WORDS WRITTEN BY AN OBSERVANT WOMAN
Good men are indeed all around us. We pass them on the streets, in the malls and the halls at work. Most we can't see because we don't know what a good man really looks like. He usually isn't flashy enough or rich enough to turn our heads. He might not wear a suit or push a BMW. He might not have a "body like Vin Diesel with a Brad Pitt face. " But, as you mature, you realize it's better to find someone who's got your back than someone who turns your head. A good man doesn't agree whole heartedly with everything you say. He doesn't just tell you what you want to hear and do the opposite. He doesn't declare how sensitive, sweet, caring, sincere, yada yada he is (he wont have to because it shows). He has his own opinions and you may clash, but he doesn't have to degrade you to prove he's right. He even admits at times to being wrong, especially if you are willing to do the same. A good man is not going to meet every item on your checklist. He is human with frailties and faults mixed in with all of his wonderful, strong attributes. He needs your love and respect. He needs to feel that you don't live to "catch" him doing something wrong so you can declare, "Aha! I knew you were a dog!!" A good man doesn't necessarily give you a huge birthday or Valentine's gift. He shows his love in the ways that are comfortable to him. Don't judge him by TV standards (...Bold and the Beautiful...). No one lives that fairy tale for real. You'll miss out on your own fairy tale by buying into the myth that our men are no good. It's just not true. Men, we salute you, and thank you for who you are and all you've done.

pressure's off now

so its monday and i just handed in my last assignment from that crazy week that was last week. i'm sooo glad all thats over and i intend to be chilled this week, despite examz being 4 weeks away! imma go shopping 2mrw and then the perth show on wednesday...relaxing stuff 4 sho i tell u.

shake shake it off

One day a farmer's donkey fell down into a well. The animal cried piteously for hours as the farmer tried to figure out what to do. Finally he decided the animal was old and the well needed to be covered anyway; it just wasn't worth it to retrieve the donkey. He invited all his neighbours to come over and help him. They all grabbed a shovel and began to shovel dirt into the well.
At first, the donkey realized what was happening and cried horribly.
Then, to everyone's amazement, he quieted down. A few shovel loads later, the farmer finally looked down the well and was astonished at what he saw. With every shovel of dirt that hit his back, the donkey was doing something amazing. He would shake it off and take a step up. As the farmer's neighbours continued to shovel dirt on top of the animal, he would shake it off and take a step up. Pretty soon, everyone was amazed as the donkey stepped up over the edge of the well and trotted off!
Life is going to shovel dirt on you, all kinds of dirt. The trick to
Getting out of the well is to shake it off and take a step up. Each of our troubles is a stepping stone.. We can get out of the deepest wells just by not stopping, never giving up! Shake it off and take a step up!

mid-semester already

My Goodness, am i glad its the mid-sem break alrady...sha was tired from uni hey. its good to have a week off and regenerate the batteries coz man they was getting low!! but sad thing is i have 2 mid-sem examz on the monday we back so ya...major pressure!! so i have to restrain myself from watching too much tv and actually studying..and thats gonna be preeeetyyyy hard coz i'm a self-confessed tv junkie!!but ah weelll we'll see wat goes on yeah

attention that u dont want

like wat abt having the spotlight shone on you when its just the last thing u want...yup.that happened to me today. i have successfully manged to go thru 2 years of uni without being called up to say anything in lectures...like i'm the type that when the lecturer ask a question to the class i literally duck or avert my eyes so as to be invisivble and i must say it work just fine for me...but alas!! today was jus not my day now was it coz surprise surprise i got picked out in this sea of about 200 people (far out huh!), i dnt know wat it was,maybe coz i was wearing bright read or maybe i was like the only black person there (aint it funny how us black people run to the 'coz i'm black' thing to explain everything that we think is unjust huh).anyway,so there i was and the american dude is like hey there wats yr name? it was funny coz i knew he was talking to me but of course i did the whole looking back thing and saying 'who me?' and he's like yup u,wats your name...like wat!!anyway i tell him my name and from then on he's lecturing and asking me so wat do u think hildah...eish man...pressure!! this was 4 like about 30mins...torture!!!
but i survived it and after the lecture all these stranger were cuming up to me saying 'shame hildah'...so ya,everybody in Strategis Management knows my name...ah well. wharried,its over and next class i'm gonna find myself a dark corner and rivert back to disappearing into the woodwork...
crazy stuff...

so steve irwin's gone...

talk about shock, horror when i heard the news hey...like seriously touched hey! i dont know why tho but i cant explain it hey...maybe coz i saw him last year when i was at australia zoo in july on my visit to lindy. i was woken up this morning by a sms from anna...yeah anna u woke me up!!!hahaha nah it was cool,i needed to study anyway so it was all good...back to the point, so at 4am my 1st thot was just 'poor steve', like i was gonna get up and post an entry ryt there and then but i thot nah, i'll leave it til now.
so ystrday morning i'm sitting there with my sista watching tv and 4 some reason we tuned to the discovery channel and started watching crocodile hunter(which we have never done b4so it was strange). there he was picking up deadly spitting cobras and enjoying every minute of it and there's me and sandra dissing him and say the dude is a fool and crazy etc...little do we know that around abt that exact time a stingray has pierced his heart in Cairns.me i reckon thats why i watched that show ystrday...ndanga ndirikuto ona kuti hectic.
so i went off to uni and came back arnd 4:30pm and my sis calls me from work(which she never does) and says'steve's dead'. so i'm like huh..steve who? steve irwin, i'm like nah u joking and she's like 4 real! she was also touched! so i run and turn the tv on and 4 sho the dude is dead! u shld've seen me...i'm like shaking my head and mubbling to myself kuti shame,poor dude.
ko wat abt the poor kids man, when he died he was actually shooting part of a documentary he was doing with his 7yr old daughter Bindi(named afta a croc of course).

okay enuff abt steve...one would think he was part of my family...but on the news they said evryone is feeling like that arnd aus so it aint jus me...
anyway...RIP Stavo...Aussie Zoo will never be the same again

Women...women

There are women who will make your life miserable if you allow themto.One truth in life is that even if drawn together by the same faith,community or interests, not every woman can be your true friend.There are those who will look at you from head to toe and find afault to pick on.Then there are those who want to be you (not realizing that you haveyour own insecurities).There are those who want to know where you shop just so they can rateyour class and how far up the ladder they are.Then of course, there are those who secretly want your boyfriend orhusband. A true friend would never compete with you.In fact, when life beats you up so hard that you can't dream, shedreams for you.When you can't afford a trip out of town, she pays for your ticket.If you introduce her to a male friend, she will ask you a hundredtimes if you like the guy before she shows any interest.She would never date your ex because when he became a jerk to you, hemight as well have become a jerk to her as well, never mind who was atfault.I have found that it is necessary to find female friends (and becomeone as well) with whom you connect deeply.Women who are confident in who they are without being arrogant.Women who know that there is more to life than who is dating who andwho bought what from where.Today, tell all your female friends that your world would be lesswithout them.Friendship is a promise spoken by heart. It is not given by a pledge,neither is it written on a paper. It is a promise renewed everytime friends keep in touch.

but i shldnt complain too much coz its been a great winter so far,like so warm so a week or 2 of dodgy weather aint too bad really. anyway...laterz

Trip to melbourne!!wat a ball!!

so i went there on monday night last week and got there early(like 530am!) i met up with carol in town and we just hung out before going to geelong were me and lindy would be staying with pschyz and tafadzwa. geelong is about 70kms outta melbourne which was 50mins on the train. anyway so i was passing time so that lindy would fly in then we wld get there togetha but unfortunately that ddnt happen and lindy was now arriving kuma 9pm that nyt. so shock...horror i would be seeing these guys alone and i'll admit i was nervous kuti wat if we dnt have nyayas afta like an hour or sumthing. anyway,carol decided to come to geelong with me 4 a few hrs to see wats it like so i was relieved kuti i'd have sumone with me.so we get there and the boyz were reeeeaaaly cool.just got on so well it was even deep.they showed us around a bit then time 4 carol to go back then waited 4 lindy to get there. went to pick up lindy(so great to see u bru!) then jus chilled catching up and stuff.

next day was wed, got up a bit late and can u belive it..taf was cooking us breakfast...how sweet!!! got our eat on then went to see deakin uni and walked around and stuff. its actaully a really nice uni and we didnt see as many zimbos as we thot there were but u never know,maybe they were jus undercover. we walked around,went to the malls, then went to see KJ (yup,kuzdayi kujeke!) at her house. that was cool,me and lindy werent sho if we'd even have gwans with her but sha we found gwans and rapped a bit. we were only there 4 like 15-20mins so it wasnt bad. sha dudes u shld see her hey...she's lost so much weight!!! its shocking. i reckon she's even smaller than anna or loretta even (serious!!) it was crazy! she also lives with her italian boyfriend called carlo...yeah but it was cool to see her. we went back home and watched dvds,listened to music till late late. which so wasnt clever coz had to get up early the next day to go shopping in melbourne.

So Thursday we went into melb and met up with carol to go shopping...ownes ka...it was crazy! talk abt shop till u drop! things on sale everywhere etc...by about 5pm we were so done,so we went to where carol was staying to go change coz the boyz were coming to melb and we were gonna go out. they came and we went to this big hotel called the crown and walked around and had some asian food then we went to this club called lotus. it was pretty cool and we met a few other zimbo chicks there (shyie u would know this st johns chick called tatenda who had a baby...ya she was there).
anyway kuma 3am me i was finished so we went home and guess who had to drive coz the guys had been drinking...yup,yours truly! sha i was freaked out to be driving in melb and pschyz's car at that but it was all good.hit ma serious prayers the whole way home...a good 1hr!! got home the sleep was gone so chatted and messed arond till 5am then finally dosed.

friday,got up kuma 11 and i had to be at the airport by 2pm to leave for perth. got there,my flight was delayed 4 2hrs but the boys and lindy were kind enuff to hang with me for 2hrs. lindy by the way was leaving kuma 9-10pm that nyt so she was still there after i left. got back to perth kuma 7pm and that was the sad sad end to a GREAT few days in melb. sha we had such a blast, and our boyz looked after us so well it was shocking!! all in all we had a blast and i've put pics up on hi5. i want to go back there again sumtime. now next stop is sydney, how cool would that be to go there with lindy and the boyz...u never know

life's a journey...they say!

i was jus thinking yeah...u know how they say 'life is a journey enjoy the ride'...well that phrase is quite ambiguous coz the thing is the journey can be done in so many way eg, there are those that take it easy and 'walk'; then you get those that sprint through life without taking time to see the beautiful scenery they are flying past...sad hey. but yeah, i believe that the journey through life is a composite of everthing. sometimes its a bit slow and sometimes its really quick...you dnt even know wats hit ya! but again, ultimately its a journey and no matter wat speed it needs to be enjoyed...you only have one chance at life and we cant afford to waste it.
Another thing is that the journey ka...handiti it can be in a skoroskoro or a lexus?? hmmmm...point to ponder (in that is it up to u that u're in the lexus or its outta your hands what mode or type of transport u take the journey...hmmmm...) probably like before tho u change along the journey. sumtimes u're strapping on foot and other times u're in a bentley..

okay...ya...i've confused myself enuff now...better think about it more huh...

loretta's b/day

so it was lolo's birthday yesterday...yes the big 21!! hectic hey. i rang her up to say happy birthday and she said it had been quiet but was gonna do something with anna in 10 days when its her b/day. talk abt the next one up is my b/day...like how hectic is that! ah well that's part off life and gotta grow up sometime dont we!
so paid 4 my ticket to melbourne today so thats done and dusted...am oh so looking forward to it hey, its gonna be a cracker of a time and i jus hope there's enuf hours in the day to do everthing and see everyone...i doubt it but we gonna sho as well try! am working a lot so that i got a couple of dollars for SHOPPIN...wooohoooo!!! clothes, shoes, bags...bring it all on.
i cant believe its gonna be time to go back to uni already, like where has all the time gone...considering we only had like 4 weeks!!!its crazy, 3rd year now. i reckon its gonna be easier than 2nd year now coz i did all the hard 3rd year units in 2nd year and i managed to pass them so ya...hopefully it shld be cool.
anywho...let me get back to watching my dvds on this boring friday night....
out

...mummy dearest...

A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?" God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you." The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy." God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy." Again the child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?" God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak." "And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?" God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray." "Who will protect me?" God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life." "But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore." God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you." At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name." "You will simply call her 'Mom.'" Lift a mother's spirit, send this to every mother you know [no matter how old her child is] and to those who aren't mothers but who have a mother to love and cherish. God bless

Things i hate!!!well...piss me off!

1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time...I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?
2. People who are willing to get off their ass to search the entire room for the TV remote because they refuse to walk to the TV and change the channel manually.
3. When people say "Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too". Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?
4. When people say "it's always the last place you look". Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it?
5. When people say while watching a film "did you see that?". No Loser, I paid R12 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.
6. People who ask "Can I ask you a question?".... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?
7. When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.
8. When people say "life is short". What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?
9. When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks "Has the bus come yet?". If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?
