"Mali ayikho, kodwa ngizothenga ibhanoyi""

The reason I put this video up of 'The Soil' is because of this specific performance.After Sam left my life was shattered, but the mammie in the ink (navy) pullover is unnnn-believaBLE. SHE ROCKS MY SOUL, I must find her and that I will. I hope you loved it as much as I did.

Project "Yonga Leyo Mali"

Creative Breed, I am glad to say that project YLM is under way. Before I go on, let me explain.

As we all know, I put myself through the wire for eight months right? However like I said, it wasn’t all bad, there was a lot of groove involved, yesss. Now there came a point in time when hindsight and introspection pulled me in  to take heed my spending patterns as I had zero savings and just felt like it was impossible ( to save that is). 

After having looked at my bank statements I realised that it was those R56.60, R75.24 and R98.12s that were killing me. Because somehow I sold myself the lie that if the bill is under a R100.00 or a little over like R112.10 it’s okhay. BULL!!!! Luckily Mosima felt the same way and this is how project “yonga leyo mali” which means “save that money” has begun.

Obviously we needed a plan of action, a great one! This plan had to cater for our like for things and love for life... In order to avoid FOMO,you need to be doing something that’s much more fulfilling of course?

We both love to cook,bake,read,sip play games etc. and so naturally the great indoors have become our biggest ally in this quest. Mosima is saving for a trip to London and at the moment I’m getting into the habit before I start working again...

Today was the first day. (We want to focus on days like Thursday’s and Friday’s which are most tempting to spend gwop for us). It went so well, I had a really great time,I’m fed, nicenyana via the “saint” and feel good enough to wake up and do something constructive in the morning.

 Now don’t fret, I’m still gonna bring the great discoveries of Macebisa’s wondering eye, just in a more balanced way maybe? My camera wanted to live its own life again, but here are some snaps . Hope everyone is enjoying their Friday night.

Friends, Markets and Beautiful views.

Friends, markets and beautiful views.

Nothing makes my life more than discovering gems and this particular one is in the middle industrial-like Krammerville. How glad was stumbled upon the monthly “Collective” market on 03 Desmond? *oh wharre nice. Thanks to their success of a launch that took place in December they’ve decided to make if official.

Do yourself a favour and check it out, it happens every first Sunday of the month. Don’t leave until you’ve visited the restaurant down the road, I’m sorry I didn’t see the name but they have the most delicious foot long sausage rolls, beautifully intriguing  decor and one stunning view of Santdon.

Haha, or downstairs?

Yep, they are that good:)

The ladies....

And gents....

Yes, Sandton can also be captivating....

Oh what an experience!!!

So there is this group I joined last year and,this is one of the few times I was grateful I had subscribed because I found out about the “KFC  Big Movie Experience” and got to watch the “Avengers”!!! Joh, but can we discuss the heat that resideth in I-Robot man, my favourite, even though I must admit I do have a soft spot for the green giant too.

Upon arrival people received free popcorn a KFC bag filled with props so during the movie when the icon of your prop showed up on the screen you knew it was your time to shine. For example, a lot of the times when “The Incredible HulK” did his earth shattering move, the hammer icon would show up on screen and then we would wave around our plastic hammers.  Let’s put it this way; the first and last time I went to a drive-inn situation was when I watched the animated musical drama romance film ‘The Hunchback of Notre dam” yep exactly. You can only imagine the kind of fun we had, we felt like were six year olds again.

 

 KFC is the bow-wow for bringing friends and family together on a Friday night, my friends and I loved it. My camera and I are going throug things, so the snaps aren’t king. I don’t know when the next one is, but do yourself a favour and log onto to the kfc website for future reference.

KFC is the BOW WOW!!!

I would love you as my oooown!!!!

                                               

Two Sides of The Beat

The mission here was to drop my bags, freshen up, get good shots of the Fridge, investigate Jozi street 

fashion trends and yes, have a grand time whilst doing it.

The venue was set to be at Kitchener’s Braamfontein, where I arrived right on time to catch Raiko’s set, I’m not from the school of hip-hop but judging by mine and the crowd’s bodily movements, it’s safe to say it was killer. The Fridge performed a couple new tracks that I didn’t know, now this is very traumatising for an avid fan like me who likes to sing along, though fantastic in the musical sense. Nonetheless I was delighted with their performance, nothing short of that soulful ,neo-jazzy fire they always bring. Oh yes Samkelo’s (the lead vocalist’s) customary hoodie was very much present, however the mysterious backpack was a no show. I stayed long enough to jam to  KidFonque’s full set as well, which was really awesome with a house, dub-step and hip-hop vibe in the mix.

Throughout the night saw some familiar faces and a met a number of creative breeds. A dominant trend was that of the head-wrapt hat which I’m fond of, as it carries for me the sense of “I’m proud to be a woman” with and by no means does it mean that if you don’t wear one you are not proud to be a women either. I feel that with the different colours, bolder prints and variance in ways it can be styled it takes away that slightly oppressive obligation our mothers endured and rather turns it into something ladies may find pleasure in wearing, or men for that matter *hahaha.

The wee hours of the morning was when I decided to call it a night, proving that it was a great night indeed, and  my mind was starting to play tricks on me proving that it was really for me time to go catch up on some much needed  sleep.
