What are your predictions for this country?
August 23, 2010I think we can all agree that SA is going completely insane. Do you think we should pack up and leave, and where in the world can we go that is better than here? Our government are acting like insane people, banning the media from reporting what they are doing. They are having meetings in secrecy still talking racist talks. The voters keep voting for them no matter that they don’t deliver on their promises. They just follow them like sheep even though they are still dying in poverty. Strikes become riots with innocent people dying because workers are behaving like complete and utter hooligans.
I want to know what you think we are facing in the next two years. What lies in wait for all of us, black and white? Where is all this madness going to end? How is it going to end or is it going to get even worse. What is the worst case scenario for all of us? I am waiting to hear your views on this.
Angels surround you when life is at its darkest..
August 14, 2010The road is dark and treacherous and danger lurks everywhere. You are tired and terrified, stumbling along with no hope. You feel your feet slipping on wet stones and your hands fly around to find purchase. Suddenly you feel arms holding you upright. A thorn from a bush snag on our clothes and you feel the hysteria welling up in your being. Soft hands loosen the snare and you sigh in relief. A snarl comes from the foliage and a horrible mangled face appears with bloody fangs exposed.
A shriek escapes your mouth, but the unseen hands push the monster back from where it came. Soft whispers in your ear soothingly encourage you to move forward. “You are not alone, we are with you to protect you”. Suddenly a golden light appears in the distance. You feel dread and hope in equal measure well up inside your torn heart. “We will reach the light, do not despair,” the words fill you mind. You wonder if you will make it to the light, so much darkness and pain surround you right now. You near the light while trying to walk without falling down on the uneven path.
It seems so far to go and you feel the helplessness enter your mind again. “Keep going,” the whispers urge you, “it is not far to go now.” Your foot hooks a root and you feel your body pitched forward but the hands are there to stop your fall. The golden light is becoming brighter and for a moment hope soars in your heart. Your mind tells you it is just an illusion like all other hopes that died in you. “Don’t give up, it is not far to go now,” the loving voice tells you. Hope starts to swell inside you and you walk faster, determined to make it. The light is right in front of you and you can hear voices singing and praising the creator.
The songs fill you with longing and wonder. As if you have taken a huge leap you are in the light. The soft golden love of it enters your soul, mind and body. You feel glorious acceptance and joy and your face opens in a smile. You look around for the presences which brought you here but everyone is around you now. Angels with beautiful snow white wings enfold you and chant the song of love. Your heart wants to burst with the love and joy you feel. God is here and you are safe now. Peace has entered you mind and you know you are not alone in this world.
The angels are around and guiding you all the way on your path. You know you will have to go back to reality but for the moment you wallow in the beauty of the moment. Never again will you feel alone and loveless, you know the place that awaits you and the guardians who safeguard your every step in life. God will never leave you alone to suffer, no matter what your mind tells you. This life is but a moment to endure before eternity. The love, peace and joy of God await you at the end of it.
What fun I had today talk to complete strangers about aliens!!
August 12, 2010Whatever you do, don’t ask people what they will complain about if they had a place to go to do just that. They complained about the roads, electricity, water, dams, crime, violence, politics, prices, poverty, service deliveries from municipalities and the government. So after a while of asking that I gave it up for a loss. They would have made me feel depressed. So instead I asked people if they believe in aliens. I forgot how many nasty people there are out there but I also forgot how many wonderful people are around us.
There are many who don’t believe aliens exist, and don’t even entertain the idea at all. The ones who do believe had some very interesting theories about it. A very convincing woman, Edith, said she is sure they walk among us and that people who disappear and are never found again were abducted by aliens. She thinks you can identify these beings by their attitudes. They don’t mix and don’t make friends with anyone. A young man, Wayne, thinks the black hole at the Bermuda Triangle is the gateway for UFO’s.
A visitor from Brazil, Eric reckons that the crop circles all over the world are enough proof that there is life out in space. He thinks they are curious about humans and want to share their knowledge with us. According to another young man it will be illogical to think we are the only living forms in this vast space around us. He also thinks that we as humans are a very young race and aliens are wiser and much older than us. They should however not be feared because they are no threat to us, just curious to get to know us.
Two friends, Victor and Dawood feels that we are not the only life source in the Universe at that God is too omnipotent to only have made us. We can’t be the only living beings in the whole of creation, the Universe out there is just too big for there to be nothing else. We shouldn’t be so arrogant as to think we are the only life that was ever created. I quite agree with them on this one.
Major Gordon Cooper who went to outer space in a Mercury capsule for 22 orbits in May 1963 told the tracking station at Muchea (near Perth Australia) that he could see a glowing, greenish object ahead of him quickly approaching his capsule. The UFO was real and solid, because it was picked up by Muchea’s tracking radar. Cooper’s sighting was reported by the National Broadcast Company, which was covering the flight step by step; but when Cooper landed, reporters were told that they would not be allowed to question him about the UFO sighting.
On July 17, 1962 Major Robert White reported a UFO during his fifty-eight-mile high flight of an X-15. Major White reported: “I have no idea what it could be. It was grayish in colour and about thirty to forty feet away.” Then according to a Time Magazine article, Major White exclaimed over the radio: “There ARE things out there! There absolutely is!”
You can make up your own minds about this, but I believe there are other life forms in outer space.
We don’t know why do some people find it so difficult to be loyal?
August 12, 2010It seems so many people nowadays don’t know the meaning of loyalty anymore. Everyone is lying to each other about everything and act duplicitous. It is hard to trust others because you don’t know if they are true. In families, friendships and the workplace there is constant deceit and it is hard to know if anyone is trustworthy.
If I have been betrayed once it is hard for me to trust that person again. When someone is being false with you more than once it is better to cut them out of your life. We try hard to forgive and forget but it is difficult when you are the only one who keeps trying. Rather be alone than have a snake in your midst is how I feel. I had a friend since primary school until I realised a few years ago that she was talking behind my back and telling lies to our mutual friends. It was such a shock because I never thought her to be that kind of person.
It shows you how long someone can pretend to be honest without you even realising the opposite. I read so many times on the blogs how people are hurt by this kind of thing repeatedly. Why is it so hard for some people to be trustworthy? There aren’t many we can rely on whom will defend our honour in our absence. How truly sad society has become.
So many people are being cheated out of getting the remuneration they deserve for the effort they put into their work. How can you work for a boss who constantly undervalues your labour? I read the other day about one of our own bloggers, Lee, who is in this situation. How many of you out there aren’t being taken advantage of in the workplace? And these companies do it ruthlessly because they know you need that salary at the end of the month. They expect you to be loyal but they don’t show you the same courtesy.
In marriages I think the worst kind of thing is to cheat on each other. Your spouse is suppose to be the one you can trust with all your heart, but you read more and more about people running around and having secret affairs while acting as if they are faithful. Rather be alone so that you can sleep around as much as you want than be a liar and cheat.
If only there were more trust and loyalty being shown to each other in the world it would be a better place to live. But sadly it seems perfidy is at the order of the day all around us.
That Is My planned survey on suicide…
August 12, 2010When I appealed to you for questions to ask the public in a survey Colonialist suggested I ask if people still think suicide is a sin. Someone else added to his comment and thought I could ask if someone fails in an attempted suicide if they should be given the death penalty. I can understand that comment, because wasn’t that what the person was trying to do in the first place, trying to get themselves out of this world? The truth is that someone who commits suicide is trying to kill the pain not themselves.
This got me thinking and I decided to make it more than just a question about it being a sin. I will ask more than one question and an idea formed in my head that I could use this opportunity to create awareness about it. Clearly many people still think it is a cowardly act and something to be ashamed of. Since last year October I have tried to educate people about depression and suicide with my blog but it is not enough.
While talking to them I could hand out little pamphlets to educate them about it. I am sure many of them won’t even read it and throw it away but I am sure some of it will be read. I have always wanted to do something to make people aware of suicide and the consequences and with this I will fulfil that aim at the same time as getting fodder for a blog.
Some of the questions I thought would be a good idea; do they think someone who dies by suicide will go to hell? Is it only cowards who commit this act? Have their lives been affected by it? Or I could just ask their opinions on suicide. What else do you think I should ask about it? I would really appreciate your input on this. Thanks for giving me this idea Col, I would never have thought about it on my own.
The people I will talk to are complete strangers and won’t know I lost a child to suicide. There is a feeling of trepidation because I am sure some of the things I am going to hear will upset me. However I can distance myself from it and do it in a professional manner, just like any other journalist who is doing a survey. For the next few days I am going to ready myself for things I might not want to hear and when I go out there it will just be a project.
Thank you all for your support and encouragement I appreciate it more than you will ever realise. My life has changed in the past few months and all thanks to the people who read and comment on my blog.
If life was like box of chocolates which chocolate would you choose?
August 7, 20101. Name 3 vegetables you really really dislike (hate is such a strong word):
I will eat any vegetable but I cannot stand dry rice, soft beans and mushy anything!
2. The kitchen appliances/gadgets you wanted the most, and hardly use now you’ve got it:
I use all my kitchen gadgets as often as possible but my Parmesan grater is still in the box after 1 year as I have been too lazy to get it down (sorry SIS) and, I have a Jamie Oliver shakey thing that I do not use often - but this was a gift not a HAD TO HAVE item.
3. Favorite Wine (cellar/ type/ color will do)
Merlot of course! But, my favourite cellar is Meerlust and from them the Rubicon is my all time top wine. Basically, if it is red I will drink it - but it must be dry.
4. What is one of your worst childhood food memories?
raw chicken being served to us at a youth camp - even then, I knew it was not safe to eat
5. If a craving/muchies strike, what would it most likely be for and what would you do to get it:
I only ever crave chocolate, and I would probably do anything to get some!

I have eaten a lot of strange things, bigournout (sea snails) being one of them, and ray knobs being another.
7. Do you ever buy ingredients, having absolutely not clue what to do with it?
no, I only buy something when I know how I am going to use it - otherwise it might end up being trashed, and I hate waste
8. Do you have any Obsessive and/or Compulsive behaviours in the Kitchen, name a few!!
I count how many times I twist the grinder of the salt and pepper. I smell milk before pouring it. Sometimes I count the number of slices as I cut something.
9. Name one thing you would like to have in the kitchen
A proper mixer - I am holding out for the Kenwood Chef that has a built in scale. I also want a disposal unit in my sink.
10. If life was like box of chocolates, which chocolate would you choose?
the whole box! Turkish Delight would be my top choice

August 4, 2010Have you ever wished that you could do something to improve your skin and make it glow? Have you spent a lot of time trying to hide blemishes or discolorations, or dullness? Have you just wanted it to look cleaner and clearer naturally, before you put on your lotions and make ups? If yes, then heres a few natural beauty tips that you can do for your own skin.

All that nourishment will make you look and feel younger. As we all know, when we feel good, we look good. The real secret to beauty!
Natural Beauty Tip #5: Get plenty of rest. Dont stay up too late, then get up too early, and do it too many days in a row. Sure, there are those times when we have to go the extra mile and it may show for a day in our overall beauty. Just dont make a habit of it. Sleep is the time when the body regenerates. Let it get its full regeneration.
Natural Beauty Tip #6: Try to reduce stress in your life (and the beauty tips above will all help with that). Nothing shows on your whole body like stress: the way you walk, the look in your eye, the haggard appearance of your skin, the way you talk, even the way you sit in your chair.

Then when you use your creams and make up, and your lovely scents and soaps it will make you even that much more beautiful than you are naturally.
Marketing For The Health And Beauty Industry
August 4, 2010Too many people though don’t know what a beautician, hairdresser, or masseuse has to offer them. They may think of the basics but there is much more. There are facials, spa treatments, manicures, pedicures, and more. All of them can help you look great and that means you will likely feel more confident about yourself as well.
In the health and beauty business though you have to be willing to really market what you offer. Otherwise you will be missing out on plenty of potential business. Your services also have to be very affordable. That is because as the cost of basics including gas for vehicles and food to eat go up people are cutting out other expenses.
Taking the time to care for yourself though is important. It is often women who want to have procedures done by the beautician, hairdresser, or masseuse but they pass them over. They may feel guilty spending their money on such things. Most feel guilty though for spending their time pampering themselves.
When you are marketing for the health and beauty business you need to incorporate all of this into your messages. By reminding clients how good they will look and how great they will feel they will be more likely to call you and schedule an appointment. Appeal to their emotions too and you will entice them to do something for themselves. For example remind them that by taking care of themselves they are going to be more physically and mentally ready to take care of everything else that will come their way.
Marketing for the health and beauty industry also needs to take the cost into consideration. People love to get something of value for a perceived lower price or better value. If you are a beautician, hairdresser, or masseuse you can offer a coupon for an added value offer for new clients. That is a great way to introduce them to all you offer. Chances are the will become a regular customer afterwards.
Don’t forget to take care of your current customers as well though. You can use them to market your health and beauty business. For example if they refer a customer to you that schedules an appointment they will get their name entered into a drawing for fabulous prizes. You can also provide them with special discounts and promotions for remaining a loyal customer.
