2010 here we come

At home with the family for Christmas and I’m very happy to chill with all of them and to take a much-needed break from my Masters dissertation and the course I have to retake next semester.
Went to a friends traditional wedding proceedings this last Saturday and it was so bittersweet. In about five or so [...]

The holly and the ivy,
When they are both full grown
Of all the trees that are in the wood
The holly bears the crown
O the rising of the sun
And the running of the deer
The playing of the merry organ
Sweet singing of the choir
The holly bears a blossom
As white as lily flower
And Mary bore sweet Jesus Christ
To be [...]

very nice

thick days

Today I found myself
After searching all these years
And the man that I saw, he
wasn’t at all who I thought he’d be
I was lost when you found me here
And I was broken beyond repair
Then you came along and you
sang your song over me
It feels like I’m born again
It feels like I’m living
For the very first time
For [...]

Ok so my whole weekend was taken up watching the Olympics (and house hunting but thats a whole other post) and most especially the male and female 100m finals!

AND dude did this in all of 9.68 seconds-I mean! As if this wasnt good enough, the women went ahead the next day and did this!

Wow! can [...]

this is how we roll

Africa has a new idea of democracy that is so wrong! why would you go to a poll, and then elect a president and then the incumbent refuses to step down and then there is some kind of unsettled feeling and then talks and finally power sharing where the opposition get into bed together……..? my [...]

nico rocks

I’m so tired of being here
Suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave
I wish that you would just leave
‘Cause your presence still lingers here
And it won’t leave me alone
These wounds won’t seem to heal
This pain is just too real
There’s just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried I’d wipe away all [...]

Mandelas birthday

I fear I’m going through the equivalent of bloggers block! I have all these elaborate posts to make in my head but when i get onto the machine, its all gone imagine! Finally, I think I’m settling into the new sem because now I have all my readers and books in line, my tuts organized, presentations sorted [...]

a Suzie moment

so much for the elaborate post I had in my mind….
i read this and I’m so thinking that the answer is no, if a man wants you, nothing will keep him away from you and if he doesnt want you, nothing will keep him with you. A hard truth I know only too well!
so I spoke to a [...]

115 more to go

The Lord is my refuge and regardless how tough things are this semester, yet shall I place my trust in you Lord. I have a hectic schedule this semester but nothing is too impossible for Him and together we shall make it. By His stripes are all this enabled (that I have so twisted)

Spent much of the morning looking through some blogs of Uganda and my heart just went all warm and gooey.
this
or this here

was hooked to this but not any more…
The Anglican Church is holding the Lambeth Conference and certain countries in Africa and across the world will not be participating because of the divisions brought [...]

false parents

I am tired in all ways of the word imagine. The vicious cycle just begins yet again and now I’m at a loss as to how much a gal can possibly take but even then, when you remove the people who hang around the peripheries its those who pupport to be close to you that [...]

at times like these

When the rain comes
It seems like everyone is gone away
When the night falls
You wander if you
shouldn’t fine some place
To run and hide
Escape the pain
Cause hiding is such a lonely thing to do
I can’t stop the rain
From fallin down on you again
I can’t stop the rain
But I will hold you till it goes away
When the rain [...]

day one of ….

I watched a programme this week that was asking whether we would live better if we knew that what we were doing at any given time was how we formed memories. I mean, sometimes we get so into the mix of things that we forget to enjoy the experience of making these memories. I thought [...]

finance makes me think like this

Yaani, dont even get me started on Idols! I cant believe that Cynthia is still in the house-I know she is fly and she has a hot body but yaawa! what idols is this? she is like the bad smell that wont leave the house even after you have left the house and moved into [...]

bus number 37

I have learnt that if we baby sit someone and expect them to grow up- it doesnt work that way! we have to release those that we love and let them go. I think it was Goethe who said, if you love something you have to release it and let it go and if it [...]
