I used to think i knew what a dream could be. I used to think that a dream is what you think about. That when you keep thinking about something, it'll come to you in another form or as a different story in a dream. The dream i told you guys about (refer to the post below)now happened in reality last night. If i go into details some of you maybe will get lost along the way. So i just wanted to tell you guys that, those boys i dreamt about, REALLY came to my house this dawn around 4:30am.
Lucky enuff they didnt steal anything. They didnt even as much as hurt me. I'm still shaking even when writting this because i can't believe that something that i dreamt about happened in real life. Maybe i'll tell you guys about it some other time, but now i'm still...**sigh**. And I think the worst didn't happen bcoz all of you guys prayed for me. You all prayed nothing bad happen. And i thank you all. I think at this point i should say that i owe my life to all of you.
Thank you very much again for all the comments that were published at Afrobabe's blog on my birthday. You guys donno how much that meant to me.
The first person i called this morning was my mum. I could feel her helplessness on the phone. She even suggested i try and forge a transfer to a town nearer home. I've asked the landlady to install a burglar door in my house (something i should've done when i moved in), while in the mean time i'm looking for another house.
Blessed weekend..

I Swear I Saw Them..!
Just last night I could hear the noise in the kitchen in my house, but I was reluctant to go and check who it could be at that time of the night. The TV was on and the music playing on the radio just made me doze off, with my head facing the other side of the bed. Usually I face east, but I guess I was watching a movie when I fell asleep. I was too lazy to face the usual direction. The noise was like two people were discussing something.
And something I couldn’t really make head or tail of. Slowly I crapped up from bed, making sure I don’t alert the two people in the other room, I pulled my red baseball bat next to the chest of drawers. Just as I was about to the enter the kitchen, the two people met me half way, while coming into the bedroom. They also had baseball bats on their hands. They were huge and muscular like that. They put on orange overalls. I recognized the other guy. I knew I knew him, just didn’t remember his name or where I saw him, but I knew him.
Me: Aaaggg! So it was you? You scared the hell outta me.
Guy 1: Yeah
Me: And who’s your friend?. I asked pointing to the other stranger.
Guy 2 (stranger): Is your p**sy cleanly shaven?
Me (to my self): What? How the f*** can this guy speak to me like that? He doesn’t even know me! God! And then it dawned on me. Oh my God! They are going to rape me!.
Use your imagination Jane. Think, think, think harder..
Okay…ermmm…ermm..ermmm..lemme go and pee first. I told them as I swiftly walked roughly past them. When they didn’t stop me, I had an idea. I locked the door behind me so that they won’t get away.
When I got outside, I walked hurriedly towards the house that was opposite mine. I knew my mum was sleeping inside there. I was practically banging on the door instead of knocking. My mum opened for me and I jumped right in. I tried between gasps, to tell my mum that there are men in my house and I didn’t know what they wanted. My mum didn’t believe me so she just brushed me off. When I started to cry that’s when she took me serious. And then we went around waking the other tenants to come and deal with the guys in my house. Coz I told my mum that I have locked them inside. We all went to my house and people gues what we found when I opened the house? Two small boys in their school uniform drinking tea! Small as in maybe grade 4 and 5!
Mum: Jane, is this why you woke us all up in the middle of the night to come and see small kids drinking tea?
Me: But…but...but..mum please I swear I saw two men, not these boys! Two men. And they wanted to rape me! Please mama believe me! I’m telling the truth. I looked at the boys, ‘’you suckers tell mum that you were men before I called them here dammnit! Tell everyone that you are those men I saw...’’
The little boys just looked at me. Saying nothing. Just looking. God! I’m not going to sleep in this house oo! So I followed my mum to hers and she didn’t allow me to sleep with her on the bed. I just wrapped myself with a towel and slept on the floor next to her bed…
Now Blogville, please tell me, ‘’what kinda dream be this one?’’ Seriously. Is there any dream interpreter in Blogville? Biko, come to my rescue now abeg…And you know, the red baseball bat is in reality my red camping chair!
One thing for sure, this dream is not goinno spoil my weekend oo! My birthday was during the week so I wanna do something tomorrow Saturday. My other cousin is coming in from Francis town, so we wanna have fun. Not party but celebrate my growing a step up.
Blessed weekend guys…

The Father I Never Knew
The year is mid 1980. Sometimes in June. Mary made sure that the cold winter breeze didn't come anywhere near her daughter. Wrapped up in a shawl and a heavy blanket on top, Mary held on to her baby tight, as she stood by the railway office awaiting her call to board the train. Mary was accompanied by her own mother, and she was all smiles because she was going to meet the father of her baby in Palapye. She just imagined the look on his face when he sees his own blood for the first time. She couldn't stop talking about him, and telling her mother how she(her mother) is going to get along just fine with her child's father as he was the most sweetest guy on earth.
It took them about 6 hours to reach Palapye. In those days the train was the most oftenly used mode of transport as it was safe and very cheap. And when they reached the railway station in Palapye, so many people got off the train, while a lot more got in. There was so much traffic that Mary almost lost sight of her mother when she went to get their luggage.
When they were all done, they stood there waiting for him. Mary couldn't stop looking this way and that. Anxious to see him walking towards them. God! Why is he taking forever? Mary wondered. Mary's mum could see that her daughter was loosing patience and she kept on re-assuring her. It was times like those that one would realise what a good source of strength a mother can be. Suddenly...there he was! Coming at full speed towards Mary, her mother and the baby.
Mary started beeming with joy at the sight of him. He came towards them, shoving his way through a lot of travellers who were fighting their ways from and into the train. Mary gave her mother the baby so that she could prepare herself to welcome her soon-to-be husband. All of a sudden, she lost sight of him. God! Where did he go now? Where is he? Mary looked at her mum. For what? Answers maybe. But he was gone.
15 years later i came to know the man who, i was told was the same guy who abundend my mum and her mother at the train station! I was told he was my real father. I didn't believe that. Do you guys blame me? I don't think so. I would have believed it if this guy had tried all he could to make up for all the time he lost and all the heartache he brought to my mum. He should have tried to show me a fatherly love i never had. But instead he behaved like some high-school guy, who gets so over excited after a girl agrees to his wooing. This guy was so excited at the thought of having a 15 year old kid. Fuck! For what? Where the fcuk had he been when my mum struggled to see me through to all the 15 years i was then? Why the fcuk did he run away? As if that wasn't enuff, he went ahead and physically and emotionally abuse my mum! God!
Now you guys understand why i never realy took to this guy hey? And the reason why i didn't change my second name to his when he married my mum? Well...the truth is...i really hated this guy! Ooooh! yes i did. And i don't feel sorry about that. And all the time i've been staying with him, i never really felt that he was my father. I felt nothing for him. Absolutely nothing! I didn't even cry at his funeral. When my aunt phoned me to tell me about his death i was like 'really? Oh, okay''. Yah thats what i said. If you thinking that in my heart i said 'thank God!''...well..yah i said that. Coz i knew my mum was goinno be free from all the abuse and all.
So, to all the fathers out there, please make sure your kids get to know you. Even if you are not able to take care of them, or be with them as much as you have to, let them know you care about them. Shit happens and the saying that goes 'any man can have a baby, but it takes a real man to be a father'..is true most of the times.
One more thing..celebrate African Child's Day on June 16 with caution. And wish me luck on June 18 as i take another step up into adulthood.
Happy Father's Day...!

Jaybabe On A Safari Cruise
It's unlike me right? Yah i know. It was my first time to leave Blogville for a few days without letting you guys know. And i'm sorry. Well..i needed ample time to prepare for the cruise i went on with P.S last week. Really i cant say much, but will try and upload some nice pictures for you guys. Hope they'll tell you about it all. And i must also admit i enjoyed every minute of it, though a part of me also missed Blogville. Well..you guys are doing great, all of you, i gues.
The first days P.S came in we stayed at Camp Itumela in a little town 45kms from my home town. I gues those three in a row enjoyed themselves too, and God knows how much i would give anything to see them happy like that everyday. As its the case, these three are trouble multiplied 3 three time maybe. We found the ham missing in our groceries, and the three didnt know where it went to until Vicky made up a story about finding a cat inside the house licking its mouth. I wish this girl to grow fast to blog about where the ham went to and the story about the cat. God!!!!
Chalets at Camp Itumela. Very cool stuff.
3 in a row spent their first night in here at Camp Itumela, but the next day we decided to swap places coz they didnt give us any time to sleep. They wanted to use the toilet every second they had to sleep all through the night. It was cool, but again the tent is so very cold! Maybe thats why the anklenappers couldn't sleep! Maybe.
After dropping the kids off at home, the cruise started with this guy somewhere deep down Chobe game reserve. I wanted to take a picture of me with him, but immediately P.S opened the door, this bloody guys ran off. I learnt from P.S that when animals see a person inside a car, it doesn't matter, but immediately they see your legs they run off! Stupid fools!
I forgot the name of the river, and i'm so ashamed to say that P.S knows all the four corners of this country like the back of his hand. Just imagine! Not knowing anything there is to know! Geeee! He told me the name of this river..dammmnnnit! what was it he said? Anyway...we found that truch stuck in there. I dont wanna explain how i felt when we crossed the river ourselves! Like i could see the waters by my window! God! P.S said the year before, when he came that way, the river was overflowing, and he did managed to cross, but one crocodile hit the front of the car! I would've died there and there i swear! I didn't believe it when we crossed over, leaving the poor truck and its drivers still tryina dig it out.
In our culture we believe that its not right to come face to face or into contact with your totem. My totem is an elephant. But here i am, looking at it. By the way it was my first time to see this animal. P.S told me that in this area there are so many of them. Well, i've heard, but he told me to wait and see!
Here, we were at Savuti camp. Good people, here you better be careful oo! Camp at your own risk! Thats why we decided to make our own double storey shack. PS told me how the lions are gonna be coming in at around evening time, and do you people want to know at what time i went to sleep? It was fun but really i didnt get enuff sleep that night. Everytime I closed my eyes I'll hear the lion roaring some few meters away! Can you guys believe that PS will even laugh at me when i get scared? The next morning i just couldn't wait to get outta that place.
Foolish bucks! Get outta the way dammnit!
Some beautiful chalet we used that over looked the Chobe River. Very beautiful. This was at Toro Safari Lodge.
I wasn't really laying there for a tan, i don't need it do i?
Jaybabe chilling at Chobe Safari Lodge. Very nice place. I think somebody was paparazzing around. I would kill that person!!!..lol..
Chobe Safari Lodge bar. The way beer will pass down your throat at this bar, sounds so much like the water flowing swiftly down the river near by...
Ladies rest rooms. God!!...i could eat inside this place!
10 minutes before the boat cruise...
Chilling on the boat deck. It was better to get a lil nearer...
Our boat was not the only one in the river...
More boats...
Don't mind those elephants, look at P.S's pony-tailed hair on the left there. This hunk's hair had grown so big since the last time i saw it. All shiny with spirals like it was tonged. Damnnn..tried so hard to ask him how he manages to keep it healthy like that. Just ask him to take off the band and watch it over his shoulders! God!!
One other thing you should know about this guy is that he loves elephants so much like his whole life depended on them. Not excusing the other animals, but i think elephants are his favourite.Log on to his Website for more...
...lol..PS thinks i was flirting with those guys on the boat! Ha! Me?..i aint a flirt. I can't do that in front of my man anyway...thats being disrespectful...
The boat cruise took us 3 hours 30 minutes. So thats Chobe Safari Lodge viewed from the river. After the sun went down. Beautiful don't you think?...
I gues you can see Jaybabe getting off the boat right?...
If i had enuff money as i wished i'll use this mode of transport everyday. I couldn't believe it only took me one and a half hours to get back to Gabz from Kasane. Instead of the usual 6/7 hours by bus. As always, it was not easy to see him go. But i know we'll meet again.
Guys, i really think i needed this outting you know? All those weekends i never had due to my commitment to this job, God! Ijust needed some time out. And i must say that i feel that as my birthday is coming on the 18th, i think i've already celebrated it.
I have about more than 400 pictures taken on this holiday, and really i just thought i should share with all of you just those, coz i'm so lazy to upload all of them at photobucket. But thats just about all that happened while i was away. Geeee....this must have been one of my longest posts ever right? I'm tired too. See all of you guys at your pages. I will try and develop www.jaybabe.com I'm tryina figure out what to put in there.
Any personal questions should be sent to seane@jaybabe.com
I love you all...and i missed all of you...

Modimo Wame!...I Got Tagged..!
Okay, i had thought i escaped this, but OLAMILD and ALOOF somehow sensed that i hadn't done this and tagged me. Lemme follow the lead and post the rules:
1.link the person who tagged you…
2. Mention the rules in your blog…
3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours...
4. Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them…
5. Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged...
I started by looking up for the meaning of quirk-yes i didn't know what that meant. In fact i googled it up and came to know that it means strange or odd things. Now, i really donno if what i'm gonna put down is really strange or what but:
Quirk 1
I dont like speed. I don't like people who are speed freaks. Thats y i use public transport coz their speed limit is 80km/hr or less. A friend of mine when he comes visiting, he uses these rental cars which are confined to a speed limit of 100km/hr or less. Going beyond that, the car starts making this annoying beeping sound..lol..i love that. If i get lucky one day and get my own car, i'll ask them-the makers, to install that kinda annoying beeping sound. Its better late than never right?
Quirk 2
I had a car accident, in fact a bus accident in 1986. I remember i fell asleep on the way and when i woke up the bus had over turned, there was a lotta screaming, people fighting for the door to get out. I was 6 years old, and that happened about...ermmm..21 years ago, but up till now i cannot sleep while travelling! Thats for sure. Even if can stay out late, or go clubbing till dawn when i have to travel in the morning, people i won't fall asleep in the bus ooo! Would wait till i get home. And ermmm..coz that accident happened while there weren't more developments like now, the road was still gravelled, and up till now i still shudder at the use of gravel roads. I prefer tared roads. I wonder if i'll ever change about this.
Quirk 3
People, i'm very impatient. If i want something now, or if i want it done like now, now has to be time! Same as when my mind's made up. I can't change it.
Quirk 4
I have this odd habit of thinking funny stuff when my mum tells me that she's not feeling well. Hey..God!..It happens all the time. When she does that, i start getting scared. I start thinking about what will i do if she leaves this earth. I start seeing myself having problems with the kids. Okay, they'll move to Gabz, but when i go to work, who'll look after Jeddah coz Vicky and Jnr will both be at school? When they come back from school, will they be able to cook lunch for themselves or will they have to wait for me? Jesus! But they'll be hungry, and can't wait for 5pm. Oh! my God!..then it'll dawn on me that i need my mum more than i can ever imagine. She shouldn't go oo! Not now..and not ever. Then i tell myself, ''Jane, just shut up! Nothing of that sort will happen''
Quirk 5
Well...things have been moving fine for me lately. I'm doing quiet well as a mother and as an individual. But still i haven't dropped this habit of locking myself inside the house for like maybe the whole weekend, that is if i aint working. I gues i'm used to it now. One of the tenants once told me, when she saw me getting outta the house, she was like, ''so you've been around?''. I was like, ''yeah, why?''. And she goes, '' We thought you went home for the weekend?''. ''No, i've been inside the house, probably sleeping..lol..''
Quirk 6
I do like fantacising. Sometimes i see myself with all the bloggers in one big house. I see myself trying to get Pamela to explain what she was doing in the bath-tub. I see Afrobabe telling Dog about her 1st encounter with a man. I see Olamild and Sparkle trying out some new tunes. Really, i can't stop daydreaming. I do that like everyday.
Shuu! I've said enuff. Now i'm tagging the following people. If they've done this already, that'll mean i've been out of Blogville for a long time. And yes i know i haven't been around for quiet some time now.

1.link the person who tagged you…

3. Tell about 6 unspectacular quirks of yours...
4. Tag 6 following bloggers by linking them…
5. Leave a comment on each of the tagged blogger’s blogs letting them know they’ve been tagged...
I started by looking up for the meaning of quirk-yes i didn't know what that meant. In fact i googled it up and came to know that it means strange or odd things. Now, i really donno if what i'm gonna put down is really strange or what but:
Quirk 1
I dont like speed. I don't like people who are speed freaks. Thats y i use public transport coz their speed limit is 80km/hr or less. A friend of mine when he comes visiting, he uses these rental cars which are confined to a speed limit of 100km/hr or less. Going beyond that, the car starts making this annoying beeping sound..lol..i love that. If i get lucky one day and get my own car, i'll ask them-the makers, to install that kinda annoying beeping sound. Its better late than never right?
Quirk 2
I had a car accident, in fact a bus accident in 1986. I remember i fell asleep on the way and when i woke up the bus had over turned, there was a lotta screaming, people fighting for the door to get out. I was 6 years old, and that happened about...ermmm..21 years ago, but up till now i cannot sleep while travelling! Thats for sure. Even if can stay out late, or go clubbing till dawn when i have to travel in the morning, people i won't fall asleep in the bus ooo! Would wait till i get home. And ermmm..coz that accident happened while there weren't more developments like now, the road was still gravelled, and up till now i still shudder at the use of gravel roads. I prefer tared roads. I wonder if i'll ever change about this.
Quirk 3
People, i'm very impatient. If i want something now, or if i want it done like now, now has to be time! Same as when my mind's made up. I can't change it.
Quirk 4
I have this odd habit of thinking funny stuff when my mum tells me that she's not feeling well. Hey..God!..It happens all the time. When she does that, i start getting scared. I start thinking about what will i do if she leaves this earth. I start seeing myself having problems with the kids. Okay, they'll move to Gabz, but when i go to work, who'll look after Jeddah coz Vicky and Jnr will both be at school? When they come back from school, will they be able to cook lunch for themselves or will they have to wait for me? Jesus! But they'll be hungry, and can't wait for 5pm. Oh! my God!..then it'll dawn on me that i need my mum more than i can ever imagine. She shouldn't go oo! Not now..and not ever. Then i tell myself, ''Jane, just shut up! Nothing of that sort will happen''
Quirk 5
Well...things have been moving fine for me lately. I'm doing quiet well as a mother and as an individual. But still i haven't dropped this habit of locking myself inside the house for like maybe the whole weekend, that is if i aint working. I gues i'm used to it now. One of the tenants once told me, when she saw me getting outta the house, she was like, ''so you've been around?''. I was like, ''yeah, why?''. And she goes, '' We thought you went home for the weekend?''. ''No, i've been inside the house, probably sleeping..lol..''
Quirk 6
I do like fantacising. Sometimes i see myself with all the bloggers in one big house. I see myself trying to get Pamela to explain what she was doing in the bath-tub. I see Afrobabe telling Dog about her 1st encounter with a man. I see Olamild and Sparkle trying out some new tunes. Really, i can't stop daydreaming. I do that like everyday.
Shuu! I've said enuff. Now i'm tagging the following people. If they've done this already, that'll mean i've been out of Blogville for a long time. And yes i know i haven't been around for quiet some time now.

Crazy Things Kids Say
Sometimes i wonder what really goes on in kids' minds when they say the things they say and ask the questions they ask. And i must admit i think i'm really gonna have a tough time dealing with these three in a row. Like i said, went home over the long weekend and it was really gr8 spending ample time with them anklesnappers(like somebody calls them)
Was busy cooking in the kitchen and Vicky was helping me out while we talked.
''Jane?''
''Mmh?''
''Who's Jnr's mother?''
''I am''
''And who's Jeddah's?''
''I am''
''Who's daughter am i?''
''I am''
''Mh-mh! Jane? you mean like you have 3 kids?''
''Yeah''
''Yeah baby'' I said, summoning her to pass me a bowl with crushed tomatoes.
''How many kids does mama have?''
''Awwwww! Bona(her pet name) you donno? I am her only child''
''How come you have three kids and mama has only one?''
''Errmmm, Ode(her other pet name) i think during her time there wasn't enuff money to buy kids you know? So i gues maybe i had enuff mani,so i bought the three of you.''
''Why did you decide to buy three of us?''
''Coz i loved three of you, pass me the wooden spoon'', she passed me the wooden spoon.
''Mmh! But you shouldn't have bought Jnr, you know i don't like that guy?''
''Why?''
''He beats me and Jeddah all the time''
''What will you be doing to him such that he ends up beating you two?''
''Nothing.''
''Nothing?''
''Mmh-hmm!''
''I don't believe you.''-at that moment i heard Jedday scream outside. I pipped my head out and shouted, ''Jeddah what is it?''
''Jnr beat me..''he said, between cries...''See, Jane i told you.''
Later that after noon, we were watching Shrek 3 and there's a part where Fiona shouts to Shrek, telling him that she's pregnant. Jeddah turned to look at me.
''Jane?''
''Yeah baby''
''What does Fiona mean by that?''
''She means she's going to have a baby for Shrek''
''Where is the baby now?''
''Ermmmm...she means that Shrek is going to be a father.''
''When?''
''Later''
''Where is she putting the baby?''
''I think the baby is at the swamp.(Coz i had previously watched the movie, so i knew the babies were only goinno be shown while at the swamp)
''Mmh?''
''Yeah''
''Okay.''
Pweeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!! That was close.
When i asked Jnr what he was doing with my phone, he said he was sending P.S an sms. LOL...silly boy.
So, it occured to me that my mum is not the only person who wants me to find and man and get married. It was in the evening when we were out side at the traditional kitchen, you know tryina make fire to heat water for their bath,and Jnr started it. This guy nearly gave me a heart-attack.
''Jane, do you know that they day you get married,we are going to use this kitchen to cook, with large pots like that?''
''Ha! Jnr, what makes you think i'm going to get married?''
''Kgomotso has two kids and she got married (Kgomotso is our neighbour) You have kids too so i think you are going to get married.''
''People who get married are those who have male friends Junior, i don't.''
''But you said P.S is coming. Are you guys not getting married?''
''No''
''Why?''
''Because i don't wanna get married.'' Foolish me. How can i be telling such a small boy this rubbish, as if he understood a thing.
''So why is P.S coming over?''
''Because he wants to see you guys.''
''Thats just it?''
''Junior, go get the bucket in the house we go fetch water from the tap. You talk too much wena waitse?''

Sort of...
Thank you so much guys for all the comments on my last post. I must apologise for not replying to all of them. By now you guys should understand what happens when it becomes month end this side. We get so goddammnn busy. But i'm back now and i must admit, it really feels good to be here again. The other thing, some of the comments published on the last post have finished the story for me so i dont think its wise to start writting to the end. Once again, thank you. Even though a fight broke out at the resturant, all the same the story ended exactly the way you guys thought.
So right i dont have anything gist, but just that i attended one bridal shower over the weekend. Ermmmm..one of my colleague is getting married next month, so they threw a bridal shower for her. Can you just imagine that its winter already here, and the dress code was either mini skirts or hot pants? God! These girls wanted to kills us ooo! Anyway Jaybabe was there and it was fun. Really fun. The girl who's holding that Turperware salad bowl is the one getting married. Showers are the same in any circumstance. You bring a present, they write you name down, and what you've bought. So that next time when you have your own function, they'll buy for you what you deserve. Fun right?
And then, ever since the new president was sworn in, he came up with laws that are really gonna suffocate some of us. Right now the prices for alcohol are gonna skyrocket. And i heard he's gonna tell the brewery companies to reduce the alcohol content, then increase the prices. Jesus Christ! Again he's changed all the times for bars and clubs' operation. Bars close at 10pm. Night clubs close b4 midnight. If there's a festival, everybody should be home b4 2am. Liquor stores dont open on sundays and during the week they open at 6pm and close at 10pm. Ha! My God! The Botswana Music Union is now taking the gorvenment to court, well...so i heard. I think the rate at which this guy is going, he's gonna step down b4 he knows it! The party animal in me is gone now. After the bridal shower thing, the DJ was there to rock the night away. Just as he was about to start, the police came in. By 11pm i was soundly asleep at Doc's House. Well, when we got home, Doc started teaching me her karate tectics. We were bored. There was nothing we could do. Her husband was sleeping so we couldn't even play some music!
See this hair style? Its called cock-screwed carrot. I donno who came up with that name. Well..i thought it looked great on some people so i decided to try it out sef. Not bad is it?
Ehen! Now, i'm gonna take my time making the rounds in Blogville. Mehn! I must be left behind. But seriously, i'm gonna make sure i pass through everybody's page. I think with the list i have now its gonna take me about 2 weeks to complete the round. Guys take care. Thursday and Friday are holidays so i'll be gone home. I miss my 3 in a row. Ermmm..one other thing...Pamela sent me her pictures. I'm all smiles today...**grinning**

When The Heart Says No
...(cell phone rings)
''Hey babe?''
''Hi. You busy?''
''Not that much. Why?''
''I wanted us to meet. I wanna talk to you.''
''About?''
''Meet me at Mophane restuarant in 30 minutes.''
''Ooooh babe can't it wait for later?''
''No Becky, it can't wait. Mophane rest. 30 minutes''
...
Oh God! What is it again? We've been talking about this many a times without number. I don't wanna talk anymore. Jason is just being so unreasonable! Why cant he control his temper? Why cant he be patient like i am? Why does he wanna rush things? I mean, it's been 4 years! 4 solid years, and we are still fighting over one thing. One thing only! God!-
''B, you're okay?''
''Hey Su, i'm fine. Its just that-''
''Its Jason again right?''
**sigh**
''Rebbecah, why don't you just go ahead and do as he says? You don't wanna lose him to another girl do yah?''
''Susan!''
''Ah-ah! Abeg, i know my name. How long has it been? 3, 4 years? And you sitting there tryina play some good girl?.**long hiss** What hasn't he done for you? Huh? What? Your wish has been his command all this time. Anytime. Anything you wanted was just a phone call away. And Becky he's been taking all this bull from you for how long now? Eeh? For how long is this your bloody heart gonna say no? Just for how long? Girlfriend, look, just give Jason what he wants and get it over and done with. Its for your own good ooo! For your own!''
''Suzzy, i know okay? I know. But we've talked about this with Jason over and over again! I can't deal with it anymore, you know? There's even come a point where i can't think of what to say any longer? Why can't Jason try and reason with me just for once Suzzy? Once. Why? Is that too much to ask? Yes he's done all i ever wanted for me, he's given me all the love in the world, and for that i'm thankful. But was it a gatepass to have me jump to any and every call he makes? Su, just look at it from a serious-minded woman's point of view okay? Or maybe take your very own experiences for example. What happened after you went to Pet's house? Why didnt he wanna see you after that? Boiki stopped taking your calls. Sam gave told you about his daughter after you guys slept together. Why the fuck are you not dating right now? Susan i been there done that, please, and i aint going thru that route ever again. If Jason can't wait then let him go catch another fish. There are so many of them swimming around you know?. Coz i'm willing to wait, and thats exactly what i'm gonna do.''
''If you say so girlfriend. But just know that when the world comes crashing down on you, i'll be right here to dry all those tears from your eyes..''

5 Simple Rules To Be Happy
1. Free your heart from hatred.
2. Free your mind from worries.
3. Live simply.
4. Give more.
5. Expect less.
No one can go back and make a brand new start. Anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending. God didn't promise days without pain, laughter without sorrow, sun without rain, but he did promise strength for the day, comfort for the tears, and light for the way.
Disappointments are like road humps, they slow u down a bit but u enjoy the smooth road afterwards. Don't stay on the humps too long. Move on!!!
When u feel down because u didn't get what u want, just sit tight and b happy, because God is thinking of something better.
When something happens to u, good or bad, consider what it means. There's a purpose to life's events, to teach u how to laugh more or not to cry too hard.
You can't make someone love u, all u can do is to be someone who can be loved, the rest is up to the person to realize your worth.
The measure of love is when u love without measure. In life there are very rare chances the you'll meet the person u love and loves u in return. So once u have it don't even let go, the chance might never come your way again.
It's better to lose your pride to the one you love, than to lose the one u love because of pride. We spend too much time looking for the right person to love or finding faults with those who we already love, when instead we should be perfecting the love we give.
When u truly care for someone, u don’t look for faults, u don't look for answers, and you don't look for mistakes. Instead, u fight the mistakes, u accept the faults, and you over look the excuses.
Never abandon an old friend. You'll never find one who can take his place. Friendship is like wine, it gets better as it grows older.
This is meant for my friend Lebo. Forget about her going out with my ex, after all we did to her and for her. Forget about her looking up to me as her sister, and looking up to Rogy as her brother, and yet going out all the way to screw him! Forget about all that. The poor girl has lost weight, she can't think straight. She's even finding it hard to live on the same neighbourhood with him. Guys, she's finding it hard to let go of Rogy(who has brought in another live in girlfriend). She's finding it hard to move on. I'm trying on my side to make her see that there's still life after that guy. Look where i am since i parted with him. She cud do the same. I told her all she needs is time. Time heals all wounds. And in folowing those 5 rules above,she'll make it thru.
P.S Can somebody please tell Nkemugo that i wud like to visit his blog. I can't log into his page. Blessed weekend guys. Love y'all.

Forgive And Forget
As children of God, everyday we wrong him in everyway possible, but everyday He does forgive us. Who are we not to forgive people who wrong us? I once suggested this topic on national radio, and it won a lot of votes for it to be discussed. And believe you me it was a heated argument. I was like at which point do somebody REALLY say they’ve forgiven someone else? Totally forgiven them? And what does it take for somebody to say they’ve forgiven another person?The truth is you can say that you’ve forgiven someone. But sometimes when you sit and look deep into your heart, you’ll still feel that urge to revenge on the person who wronged you. Do you guys still remember Lebo? The girl I once wrote about. That my ex and I used to be their housemate? Okay, here is how it was. I was still co-habiting with the guy I got engaged to in 2004. When he started work, he was allocated a house at one of the flats in Gabz. Because he wasn’t married, he was gonna share that house with one of his co-workers. That co-worker of his was a lady who had a teenage daughter, Lebo. My ex and I took this little girl as our lil sister you know? Sometimes we’ll help her out with her school work. Sometimes I’ll permit my ex to take her out to the afternoon movies if I had something to do, maybe at work or something. Sometimes I’ll go shopping with her. Buy her anything she wanted. We even have a blue boobtube top that look exactly the same, because I bought it for myself, and when she saw it, she said she wanted it too. So I got him to buy it for her. She was really like a sister. Especially that she is the only child and I’m the only child too, so you know, the feeling, like they say, was mutual. She is 7 years my junior.
When we moved to our own flat, Lebo and I didn’t lose any touch. She used to come to our house. Stay there. Help me bathe the kids. Sleep over. Stay with the kids while my ex and I went out. You know?, she helped out in everything. She was there all the time. She was even there when i and him started having problems. I still remember the sms’s we exchanged during that time.
To cut the long story short, when I moved out of my ex’s house Lebo moved right in! Ha! Sometimes you just can’t believe some other things would you? No matter how much you try. Of course I had problems with that. I started asking myself, when did their relationship really start? Were they still going out when we were still sharing the house? Did I give them space to be together, all those times I permitted him to take her out? Sometimes I went home to my mum alone, and he stayed behind. Did I give them enough chance to do whatever they were doing? Did I push him to her? Was Lebo taking advantage of my being nice to her? I mean, my ex and I used to talk to her mum. To let her be, because he mother was always after her! Like she had to come home early. She didn’t have any friends. She wasn’t allowed to leave the house even on weekends, unless my ex or I went out with her. She was supposed to answer her cell phone right here, in the sitting room, no snicking out! And when I came to know that my ex and Lebo were going out, and that HER mother was in support of the relationship, I was like, all that time, was she preparing Lebo for the guy? God!!!
Okay. I came to leave with it. I accepted it. I was like okay fine, I’ve lost him to her. No problem. We talking 2005. And since then I haven’t really gotten to know how they are doing and all. Really I let things go, decided to move on with my life. But just as I thought my life with them was over, it has started again.
I’m pictured here with Lebo. Faith is that one in a red sweater. We were at Doc’ kitchen top-up party the weekend before. Yes she came. I guess with my cousin Faith. We hugged. And later she asked to see me in private…guys…that was really like a nightmare…!
And then on Monday when we were at the office and people were by my computer, looking at the party pictures, they wanted to know what Lebo was doing at the party because she had wronged me? My people, I don’t take it that Lebo wronged me, like I told her when she wanted to apologize that night, ‘’You didn’t wrong me in anyway. I just take it that Rogy wanted to get back at me, and you only happened to get caught in the act. It wasn’t your fault. Really. To me, you are still my kid sister.’’ Yeah you guessed right. She cried. Especially now that her and the guy are not together anymore.
When she asked to see me in private that party night, she told me everything that happened between her and him. Everything. I donno why, people say that I’m a good listener. Lebo told me that some of the things she told me that night, she never told anyone. Not even her very own mother. She wanted to know how I got over the guy. She wanted to know how she could get over him. She wanted me to help her out. Help her heal. I didn’t tell her much. Just a few words. ‘’You might think that you’ve wronged me, but like I said, I don’t take it that way. I have forgiven you and forgotten everything that happened. So do likewise: Forgive and Forget.’’
So guys, I wont update until the 1st of April. I’m expecting something to happen from the 20th till the 28th March. Up till then, take good care of yourselves, and have a blessed Easter Holy’s. When we come back, and if you all are luck, I’ll tell you all about it. If you ain’t lucky, then just forgive and forget!
Ciaaooo!

A Reason To Believe
The main thing i wanna know from you guys is- What's the real reason why people get married?
A friend of mine, Dan, said he got into marriage bcoz his girlfriend came to him and said, ''I'm pregnant!''. And then he was like, ''Okay fine, lets get married''. And that was that.
I saw him over the weekend and he said the marriage is on the rocks and they are in the process of getting a divorce. Dan will be 28 this year and he got married at 25. His baby boy is 3 years now. Such a lovely thing.
When we got talking, he told me how he got into that marriage thing for all the wrong reasons. He said he realised later, that the two of them, had personalities that differed a great deal.
Is it because of these different personalities that drives people getting divorced at the end? Why get married at first when there are certain things that makes the two of you different? I want to know the real reason why people marry. And why does everything else change after getting married? Its like when eveything changes after a baby is born into a relationship.
When the two of you are still dating, and no talking about marriage, no talking about having a baby, everything runs so smooth. But the minute you get married, or the woman falls pregnant, everything changes. The relationship changes. Why?
When i got engaged to my ex, in 2004, i wasn't ready for marriage. He bought that ring bcoz we fought- well not physically fighting, but argued a lot that morning, and i threatened to leave, and then, later he slipped that band on my finger, but i wasn't smiling, i wasn't surprised, i didn't cry, i wasn't happy, i didn't like it at all. Just that i felt sorry for him, coz he was trying by all means to make things right.
That engagement didn't even go as far as walking down the aisle, bcoz it was all for the wrong reasons. I think i wrote a story on that sometime ago. How it all ended and all.
Even up till now i'm still asking myself that, if at all i had gotten married that time, what wud have been my reason today for the marriage? As i didnt have a solid reason to get engaged that time.**sends out a lil laugh**..you know i even remember we went home to tell my mum, and i remember we were seated together outside the house and my mum was asking both of us if we knew exactly what we were getting ourselves into...
...anyway, whats your take on this?
And like i said, Doc's kitchen top-up was a blast! Right now she doesnt have space in her kitchen. Some of the presents are inside the guest rooms. I'm just so lazy to upload pictures. Sorry guys.

A Family Affair
Guys, thanx to all of you who commented on my last post. Was really busy the whole week couldn't reply there and there. But thanx all the same.
Another one of those weekends in already here, and part of this whole week has been spent preparing for my cousin, Dorcas' kitchen top-up party which will be held at her house tomorow. I know Afrobabe has been dying to see some of my dirty pictures at any function. So Afro, and all of you guys, i promise a lot of those kinda pictures when we come back from the weekend. This time i'll be keeping my cool coz it won't be my thing.
I was gonna up load an invitation card a dear friend of mine designed for the occasion, beautiful thing, but i remembered that it has my numbers on it. I dont trust people like Pamela, who won't leave me in peace, by calling even in the wee hours of the mornings. Yes, thats what she said, the other time, when i complained about people giving me a head ache by calling. She said if she knew my number she was gonna be one of them. So..yeah..
Guys..be careful over the weekend hey? And enjoy this read as you head for the weekend. This really left me lost for words! Can something like this happen? I mean in real life?:
A young lady matriculant is going to matric dance with his biological brother because she didn't have a date. On their way back home after the matric dance her brother says to her:
''If I wasn't your brother I'd pull over and park 500m from the road''.
''Pretend you are not my brother and pull over''. she replied!
He pulled over and said "If I wasn't your brother I'd kiss you until you sweat''.
''Pretend you are not my brother and kiss me until I sweat''. she replied!
He kissed her and said" If I wasn't your brother I'd fu...ck you like hell''.
She said: pretend you are not my brother and f...ck me like hell''.
They made love, enjoying every moment of it and after they finished she said to her brother: ''Your D*ick is as big as Dad's.''
And he replied: ''That's what Mom always tells me!''

Standing Outside The Fire
We call them cool
Those hearts that have no scars to show
The ones that never do let go
And risk the tables being turned
We call them fools
Who have to dance within the flame
Who chance the sorrow and the shame
That always comes with getting burned
But you've got to be tough when consumed by desire
'Cause it's not enough just to stand outside the fire
We call them strong
Those who can face this world alone
Who seem to get by on their own
Those who will never take the fall
We call them weak
Who are unable to resist
The slightest chance love might exist
And for that forsake it all
They're so hell-bent on giving, walking a wire
Convinced it's not living if you stand outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire
There's this love that is burning
Deep in my soul
Constantly yearning to get out of control
Wanting to fly higher and higher
I can't abide
If you're standing outside the fire
Standing outside the fire
Life is not tried, it is merely survived
If you're standing outside the fire

Words Of Wisdom
hello errryburry, i got this from a friend and thought you could also learn from it.stop telling people how they should live their lives by asking them personal questions like when are you buying a car , buying a house, when are you getting married, when are you having a child etc.
stop asking people questions they don't have answers for, it exposes your level of maturity and intelligence e.g. why do you have skin rashes, have gained or lost weight etc.
if something is not your business stay out of it unless you are asked for advise.
it is normal to gossip but please don't make it a habit, rather turn your gossiping skills into something positive.
nobody is perfect; we all have our weaknesses, so stop complaining or criticising other people, because they also feel the same about you. it is just that they are emotionally matured and accept you the way you are.
compliment a person if she looks nice instead of asking what is the occasion
try to associate with positive people and avoid negative people who always try to bring you down
if a person tells you something confidential or personal stop discussing it with other people, it exposes your level of maturity
learn to think before you talk
with luv
jaybabe.

Classic Stuff
I hope everybody's fine. Even though i hadn't replied to all the comments left on the post below, i would really like to thank everyone who left something there. I really appreciate your concerns on issues regarding women. But i'm glad i did pass through everyone's blog. Just to let you know that it's this other time of the month. I mean it's month end and i get really busy at work, but i will try and reply next time. And i wanted to wish you all the best laugh-able weekend ever. Take care.
1.WAY TO GO OLD MAN
I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes. We decided to grab a bite at the food court. I noticed he was watching a teenager sitting next to him. The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors: green, red, orange, and blue.
My dad kept staring at him. The teenager would look and find him staring every time. When the teenager had enough, he sarcastically asked, "What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?" Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not choke on his response, knowing he would have a good one. And in classic style he did not bat an eye in his response. "Got drunk once and had sex with a peacock. I was just wondering if you were my son."
2.Dr Phil (this one na classic abeg)
Four women came to Dr Phil for advice. After carefully analysing their problems he gave them their replies:
''I have realised that all of you women have got one similar problem. You are all obsessed.''
To the first woman: ''You are obsessed with alcohol, that is why you've even called your daughter Brandy''.
To the second woman: ''You are obsessed with money, that is why you've even called your daughter Penny''
To the third woman: ''You are obsessed with the fastest cars, that's why you have called your son Speedy-''
Before he could turn to face the fourth woman, she abruptly stood up, grabbed her son by the arm, and said, ''come on Dick, let's go!''

It's A Lie And A Laugh
Don't Lie To Kids: What an experience! There was this guy sunbathing in the nude at the beach. Well, this little girl comes up to him, so he covers his private parts with a newspaper.
The little girl says, "What's under there?"
So the man answers, "A bird."
The girl goes away and the man falls asleep. When he wakes up; he is in a hospital and in great pain.
A doctor comes up to his bed and asks, "What happened?"
The man answers, "I don't know. I was at the beach and I fell asleep after talking to a little girl."
So the doctor tells this to the Police, and they go to the beach to find any witnesses.
When they get there, they see the little girl the man was talking about.
So they ask her if she did anything to the man.
She answers, "I didn't do anything to the man, but while he was sleeping, I played with his bird. After a while, it spit at me, so I broke its neck, burned its nest, and smashed all its eggs.
Never Lie To Your Boss: Else You Are As Good As Dead!boss said to an employee: "Do you believe in life after Death?
employee: "Certainly not! There's no proof of it", he replied.
boss : "Well…, there is proof now.
After you left early yesterday to go to your only uncle's funeral, He came here looking for you!"
Never Lie To Yourself: Vincent walks into a bar in Pretoria, orders three pints of Black Label and sits in the back of the room, drinking a sip out of each one in turn. When he finished all three, he comes back to the bar and orders threemore. The bartender says to him, "You know, a pint goes flat after I draw it; it would taste better if you bought one at a time." Vinn replies, "Well, you see, I have two friends. One is in Polokwane, the other in Lebowakgomo, and I'm here in Pretoria . When I left home, we promised that we'd drink this way to remember the days we all drank together." The bartender admits that this is a nice custom, and leaves it there. Vinn becomes a regular in the bar and always drinks the same way: he orders three pints and drinks the three pints by taking drinks from each of them in turn. One day, he comes in and orders two pints. All the other regulars in the bar notice and fall silent. When he comes back to the bar for the second round, the bartender says, "I don't want to intrude on your grief, but I wanted to offer my condolences on your great loss."Vinny looks confused for a moment, then a lights dawn in his eye and he laughs. "Oh, no," he says, "Everyone is fine. It's me.....I've quit drinking!"
Guys...i'll see you after the weekend, have a good one. And Please be careful of what you do and how you do it! Ciaaooo!!

Life vs Fear
Tomorrow will soon be yesterday,and yesterday was once tomorrow.But what about today?Is it important? Do we constantly obsess over everything but the present?If the memories are what hurt then why do we hold on to them?
If the present is the most enjoyable then why does it go by so quickly?
Why do the best things in life seem unreachable?And why do the worst things seem to fall into your lap? But most importantly,why do we think these things?
Seeing is believing for most people,and if they see it happen to them,they will believe it for the rest of their lives and think nothing different of it. But why can't we just believe that things just happen,no matter what the immediate reaction is? In the end,no matter how good or bad,it always turns out for the best:
We learn. We learn about life.We learn lessons.We learn reasons.
We learn answers.And most importantly,we learn feelings.Our feelings.After all,what are we without feelings? One feeling everyone feels is fear.It is the least discussed emotion between humans.
Why? People fear it. Ironic? Yes.But why do we fear fear?
Most people fear that they will be teased or mistreated because what they feel could be different than another's.But is teasing and mistreating what they really fear?Could it be that they fear they could actually make an impact on someone's life?
Or maybe even because they know they can rub off on that person and they would no longer be an individual?.
An example of this could be a phobia.Let's say someone is scared of heights and they won't tell anyone. It could possibly be because they fear if they tell another person,they could rub off on them,or even find out that the other person feels the same way. But they could face their fears together,and learn:They can learn about their friendship.
As quoted from Alanis Morrisette,"...you live,you learn,you love,you learn,you try,you learn,you lose,you learn.....".
That song "You Learn" always had an impact on me.I made so much sense that one could not ignore it.
Tomorrow will soon be yesterday,and yesterday was once tomorrow. What makes us think about this is past experiences and up coming experiences. Why? The fact of the matter is......we fear it.I think it is time that mankind got over their fear of the present and actually learn something.
Don't you????

T'was Written In The Stars...
Hey guys. Hope you all had a gr8 weekend? Mine was hectic. Okay first things first. I gues it was difficult for the judges to come up with the top 20. We were up at The Big 5 Lodge from 8am till 7pm. See this girl i'm pictured here with? Thats Rose. I had a tie with her, and then we had to battle it out, just the two of us, up till she made it thru. Guys, that was some competition ooo! Those people's voices? Ah-ah! I couldn't match oo!Okay fine. I know you guys are disappointed in me, and i was disappointed too. Especially that i had come that far, had to go in, sing my lungs out, make it to the next round, and just as i was facing the top 20 category, i flopped.
I must admit Rose is a better singer than me. So i really think she deserved to go in. By the time it was just the two of us, i was really tired. Finished. But hey..i don't really have any hard feelings for the judges, coz..like somebody once said..'when one door closes, another one opens. So..you watch this column...! I won't tell you about it now..**smiling**
From The Big 5 Lodge, i headed straight to Dorcas' house coz she had organised a lil something for me with her friends. This girl is crazy oo! That lil something turned out to be a huge party which went on until the wee hours of the morning. She still owes me an explaination for that! I'll come back to upload the pictures oo! You know how party-animally i am, so look forward to some crazy pictures here.Like i said, it was a crazy weekend.The party ended around 3:30am and by 5am i was still up, tryina solve some issues between Faith and her boyfriend, who wanted to send her to the gallows then. Kai! Children of today? Why do they think its easy to get in and outside a relationship if you so wish? Anyway..they booked into some lodge and then sunday morning they came to my house. Now Faith was not talking to the boyfriend, and the boyfriend was crying, and then i was asked to intervine. Good Lord!...

Another Woman's Man = A Dangerous Zone
Can somebody please tell this woman that, that's just a mushroom!When it comes to issues of cheating, the first thing that comes to ones mind is how their partner performs in bed with the person they are cheating them with. 'Is she/he better than me?'. Why can't we think of something else apart from SEX? Can't somebody cheat by just meerly hanging out with the other person, without them sleeping together? Easier said than done huh?!
Now women have come up with dangerous means of protecting what is theirs. I donno if men do it too. Well..i've heard of only a one in million case where a man goes out to an extent of 'going a step further'.
Three Nigerian men came to Botswana sometime last year on a business trip. I've read the story on newspapers now, coz it was all over the country. So these guys booked in one hotel next to the University, Gaborone Sun most probably. They got involved with some girls from the university and a few days after the guys left..heee! Those girls started having worms coming outta their private parts! God! Those girls suffered oooo! Kai! Well..i haven't been to school to see them, but rumours had it that, you wouldn't stay one single minute in their room! The smell that came outta there was umbearable. We got most of the stories and the pictures of the girls in The Voice Newspaper. It reported that the girls made endless visits to hospitals to no avail. It published the pictures of the girls with their legs apart like that. Bcoz they said if they placed their legs together, it hurt real bad. My God! Just imagine, some funny small worms coming outta there! Well...i donno where the girls are right now, but i heard the last time they were seen in this country was when they were boarding a plane to Nigeria. Only the wives to those men, were the only people who could cure them! See? Another woman's man is a dangerous dial to touch!
It doesn't only happen in Nigeria. In fact i think it happens everywhere in Africa. I donno about the western world, but in every country in Africa, its common.
When my mum was still working and i was still at high school, she used to have a friend. They were not very close, but they came together when they wanted to have a woman to woman talk, you know? So it happened that this woman, my mum's friend, was dating a married guy. She was a conductor in the said guy's bus, while he was the driver. I gues thats how they met. And then, they started shagging. Ha! The wife found out ooo! And then when she wanted some answers, she didnt get any. And then she kept quiet.It so happened that my mum's friend started having her periods 24/7/365. There was not a day that passed by without her having her flows. She confided in my mum, thats how i got to know,coz my mum and i are friends. I asked my mum what she said to her. She was like, ''i had long told that woman to leave another man's husband alone, but she wouldn't listen. Now, let her get herself outta that mess''. See? It happens everywhere.
There are so many cases concerning consequences of dating another woman's husband. Just that people dont come forward about them. A similar case i once heard was where a woman who was 'knocking' another one, got into her periods everytime she's supposed to go meet with the guy. Everytime. Ha! How these things happen i donno ooo! So abeg, girls, watch out. If he belongs to another one, don't even think twice!
Coz you'll be pressing a wrong button!
Well..it's as a result of all the shagging and the over protection of the 'mushroom' that we end up celebrating baby showers every weekend. Like i said, as long as they wont stop making babies, i wont stop having a good time while waiting for another new mouth! This one happened over the weekend and like always, it was a blast!I haven't done a tour of Blogville in a long time. So guys, have a productive week!

Tiane's Night Out
When Tia first told me about the baby she was carrying, and i calculated, i didn't think the days and months would pass by so quickly such that in no time we would be celebrating her baby shower. I remember it was some time in June last year, and by then she told me she was two months on, that meant the baby is due this month. So my people, dont blame me ooo! I think i got carried away with that Popstar thing i even forgot my friend is goinno have a baby! What kinda friend is this one? Mxem!
Anyway, thats why i rushed things last week so that we hold the babyshower this past weekend. Tia went to her doctor and they did a scan. She was told its goinno be a boy! And that the EDD(estimated Date of Delivery) is in two weeks.
And everything with the shower went well ooo! My friend can't even wait to go to the 'bakery'...lol..if only she knew? Knew what? Nonsense! Is it not for just 10 minutes? And she'll be holding her baby in her arms?
As usual, Jaybabe took her cam with her. Here are some pictures.
When she's not heavy like this, she's such a beautiful girl. Wait till the baby comes out. You'll see what i mean when i talk about beauty.
Snacks being passed around.
Thats the M.C now! And she even allowed us to use her house as the venue. Everything's fine. The past is in the past. Even though what she did to me is unforgetable, she's still my friend. That will never change.
Anybody ever tasted Nestum? Yeah food for 3 year olds down? Tastes nice, like ermmmm..i donno..but very nice. Everybody made sure they made a mistake so that they could have a spoon full of nestum. Some came very late. Others didn't include gate passes(any product from Johnsons) with their presents. See? So if you did something wrong you got punished by eating nestum. Or like if Tia didnt gues right what the present could be,and who it came from, she'll also get a spoon full of that. It was fun. Really.
Oooh! My...! Did i mention my girl has her own set of wheels? Okay, you all know now. So included in the presents was a baby car-seat. From the organisers of the shower. You know who's included in here right?
You guys all know that my girl is a first time mother right? So here, they were showing her how to bath the baby. Every single step of bathing a new born baby. And this foolish girl was laughing! Can you imagine? If she thinks i'm goinno do everything for her, she should forget it ooo! Ha! Where was she when i did all mine? Abeg...lol..of course i'll help her out.
I never really intended to show Tia's face here you know?But...well..okay..thats my girl there now!
Ehen! Shall we eat now? On the menu there was papa, chakalaka and some grilled braai woers and beef. T'was very nice. I mean the food.
See this girl here? She doesn't drink anything with alcohol ooo! She didn't even get tempted when seeing all the drinks. Yebo!!! Another one of my resolutions will be fulfilled. Abeg..i didn't make a vow with any of you guys..but i did that with God. I vowed that i wont drink again. AND I WON'T!!! Don't mind what's in that bag. Just my lip-gloss, two spare batteries for the camera, in case the other two went down, money for cab afterwards, what else?...ermmmm..yah, and Nivea lotion for my hands. Thats all there was in that bag actually.
More pictures HERE. Enjoy the whole week ahead.
Anyway, thats why i rushed things last week so that we hold the babyshower this past weekend. Tia went to her doctor and they did a scan. She was told its goinno be a boy! And that the EDD(estimated Date of Delivery) is in two weeks.
And everything with the shower went well ooo! My friend can't even wait to go to the 'bakery'...lol..if only she knew? Knew what? Nonsense! Is it not for just 10 minutes? And she'll be holding her baby in her arms?
As usual, Jaybabe took her cam with her. Here are some pictures.
When she's not heavy like this, she's such a beautiful girl. Wait till the baby comes out. You'll see what i mean when i talk about beauty.
Snacks being passed around.
Thats the M.C now! And she even allowed us to use her house as the venue. Everything's fine. The past is in the past. Even though what she did to me is unforgetable, she's still my friend. That will never change.
Anybody ever tasted Nestum? Yeah food for 3 year olds down? Tastes nice, like ermmmm..i donno..but very nice. Everybody made sure they made a mistake so that they could have a spoon full of nestum. Some came very late. Others didn't include gate passes(any product from Johnsons) with their presents. See? So if you did something wrong you got punished by eating nestum. Or like if Tia didnt gues right what the present could be,and who it came from, she'll also get a spoon full of that. It was fun. Really.
