Out of curiosity of what I would find if I google the word: APPRECIATION, not surprisingly this is the 1st meaning of appreciation on my online dictionary: Recognition of the quality, value, significance, or magnitude of people and things. It is very easy to put things aside and forgetting to be grateful and showing that you care and respect others. I personally am guilty of doing the exact thing of being so spoilt rotten with love and care that I assume that it will always be there Well, this may come as expected somehow because I am big when it comes to assumptions…not something to be proud about. There is a time where in your life you feel misplaced and vulnerable to an extent that the loneliness makes you feel hopeless. Through this emotional rollercoaster my heart sinks to the bottom of my feet and tears flood down my face and confusion takes over clouding my judgment. My heart aches and my body moans in pain. Those around get lost in wonder and they become too scared to ask. Be ...

Pirates scored once twice and for the third time! I could imagine my brother screaming, jumping up and down in excitement and celebrating the great victory of the win. Back when he was in high school, he was a serious fan...always has been and always will be, a Pirate. I do not follow much of how the whole game works, but ever since I was young- I have celebrated Orlando Pirate’s downfall and victories like a true fan all because of my brother. I am fan not by force but by liking and being persuaded to join the adrenalin rash that all fans seem to have. My brother would be sick for days back in the day if his team Pirates would lose a match- and it was always not the team’s fault but the opponents fault or the bad referee. Orlando Pirates celebrated their 70th birthday last night from such a long walk- they stayed and never faded. Yes the journey has not been all smooth- players grew old and were changed from time to time. From him, I learn the meaning of being true and faithfu...

But there are signs of uncertainty: since the beginning of the year for example, R24 billion in foreign holdings of rand-denominated bonds and equities has been sold. Inflation and our own lack of savings increase our vulnerability to financial turbulence. Our economy’s longer term outlook, however, remains favourable. Key policy anchors are in place to provide a solid mooring while enabling the economy to adapt to the cross-currents. The prudent fiscal stance, international reserves of US$33.6 billion, the inflation targeting regime and a floating exchange rate cushion us against shocks and reduce pressure on interest rates. We took these decisions early and we implemented them when times were good. We took them in the face of some severe criticism, even in this House. It is precisely because of the macroeconomic policies put in place since 1996 and the fiscal stance in operation that we can be confident that we will weather this storm. We have seen investment as a share of GDP rise f...

In history on this day – Pluto was discovered. On this day one of the great minds still in existence according to me was born. There may not be much to say about the day itself but there is sure a whole lot to be thankful that this day exists. 2 days after Valentines Day- I celebrate a birthday to someone dear and very special to me. He is my light when all is dark, my friend when in need and in deed. My better half when I have lost faith in all. My strength when I am weak and ready to give in. He is no angel but he is worth sticking around for a very long time- eternity seems to short. When the day that Pluto comes down to earth…. Then that shall be the end. I know he had a HAPPY Birthday- because I celebrated it with him and for him Lusisizwe Kwezi- loved and always will be loved and honored by me now and more years to come. Love Black Rose

There is always an opening page where full introduction is made. Here is when you make sure that you leave an impression for come backs. You impress so, much that you actually forget who you really are yourself. People always get taken by new energy and new fresh ideas that hit them like a splash of quenching cold water on a sunny day. The eye always deceives us into believing or being taken into play by new people and things that we are seeing for the first time. Assumingly this is what most men call LAST and it is what most women call OPPORTUNITY COST- literally referring to the economic meaning of the term opportunity cost. When you connect with a new person- you feel that you are moving on the same line and you tend to agree on everything…magic isn’t it!?! Yeah, well- that quickly vanishes as you take time to know the person or thing that firstly got you impressed. Rather, be interested in knowing more and grow together into knowing that new person or new thing you have come across...

One day all the employees reached the office and they saw a big advice on the door on which it was written: "Yesterday the person who has been hindering your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym". In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while they started getting curious to know who was that man who hindered the growth of his colleagues and the company itself. The excitement in the gym was such that security agents were ordered to control the crowd within the room. The more people reached the coffin, the more the excitement heated up. Everyone thought: "Who is this guy who was hindering my progress? Well, at least he died!". One by one the thrilled employees got closer to the coffin, and when they looked inside it they suddenly became speechless. They stood nearby the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest par...

Cruel Intentions There is a difference between playing fair and misleading someone You allow them to believe that you are the one The matters of the heart are unfortunately hidden for sometime Until the time is felt to be right to reveal all that is within Bruised ego is what is left behind Broken hurt left to hang What the heart sings to you everyday is never respected Little voice with in Whispering… Take time, don’t give in, am I safe, is it worth it??? The answer comes like a sudden black cloud out of the blue And the storm hits hard and where it hurts most Waiting for the cruel hard hitting drops to blow by But they pierce through like a silver sword on a silky sheet The pain is not felt at first, as the blade moves in lightening speed But time is the enemy but also the friend that heals I thank you for being who you are and what you meant to me Because; should I not accept then I will be the one who had Cruel Intentions Leave long and be blessed, for you deserve the best I contin...
