My Brother and Orlando Pirates





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 faithful to what you believe in and commitment through thick and thin.










I love my Brother… thus I love Orlando Pirates with their failures and Wins.

Orlando Pirates celebrated their 70TH Birthday in STYLE.











Well-done boys!!!

Appreciation

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 ...

Remember remember

Things happen and so many come as shocking surprises and others as forgotten truths that we all wish not to witness the coming or final discovery of it. Its hard to face head on your worst fears and realising that what you always perceived and predicted as true is in fact the truth. Its all about having a back bone to be able to stand and face this world. When you are in pain and in bed on your own and no one hears and sees your thoughts, those are the deciding moments of your life. That is the time when one makes a choice to be or not to be. Only the strong prevail, only the might walk on. As we face the tides in out lives, we forget not that we once walked to the parks of the union buildings and shared our future plans and dreams under the beautiful clear blue summer skies. Now drifted and miles and oceans apart, we still hang on and look forward to a better tomorrow. Hold my hand and never let go, I will be an idea and you will be the wisdom behind it. There is so much that is still...

The System

My heart, why you hurting so? What has brought upon you so much pain? As strong and flexible as you are I think you tried to hard and bent too far. My heart, what troubles you so? What has left you in such turmoil? As brave as you have been in the past, it seems that you won’t last. My feet, why do you drag me down so? What chain and ball is slowing you down? As fast as you have been to carry me through so many fires and devotion you have shown. My hands, why do you tremble so? What fear and pain has left useless? As magical as you have been with a pen and paper but now you are clueless. My hands, why you allow my syllabus leave me behind? What has left you disable? What work can be done if not completed buy writing it down with my hands, they are not able. My eyes, why do you cry so? What has disturbed your concentration and stolen you vision? As sharp and sparkling as you have always been in the past but now you show signs of depression. There is something wrong with the system, the ...
