The little things

Back in high school, phones and quite a number of electronic material were prohibited.They always ensured to check our belongings while getting in at school and also did random clean up checks.
But then again, these were the few things that kept us sane at the time regarding it was a single girls' boarding school.
I recall at some point around my birthday, my cousin got me a mini radio.  It was tiny and could easily be smuggled anywhere.
Now those who've experienced boarding school can relate to the prison-like feeling.  You feel detached from the world and really restricted and I just feel like there people like me who would be at their worst without music.  Sometimes it felt like a drug to just release stress and anger and feel free.
Around the same time my brother helped smuggle in a phone and that time Facebook was storming.
These "illegal stuff" brought me sanity, a sense of belonging and feeling free at most.
You were able to get people to do stuff for you and more so you were favoured by students in charge.  It felt great, I can't lie.
We would always charge at midnight to the early mornings in order not get caught, which meant expulsion or suspension from school.
It was 2a.m on a Friday, we were charging and listening to music while laughing as others blow dried their hair. We were having some fun when suddenly someone among us loudly whispered, "MORIA". That being our warden who could be identified by her special Afro wig.
I just remember grabbing my phone and scattering my legs to my room and pretending to be deep in sleep.
She shouted out a list of names [excluding mine] and asked them to bring forward their phones and radios. She also asked them to snitch the rest of us in order to be spared, which couldn't happen because we had a pact of solidarity. So they each got suspensions and their families were told about it but this didn't stop us from trying to let loose and snatch a bit of fun out of the enclosed atmosphere.
These memories teach me to always cling to those tiny things because they are very memorable and keep you in your right mind. There's a lot to life revolving around these tiny little things.

Allured

And she swayed her hips to the rhythm
With no care of who was watching
Like the beat was made for that body
And she let her worries run with the sound of the melodies
Laughing with no care in the world.
He drunk her all in
But still couldn't get enough
It was going to be a long night, he thought.

What really makes a lady submit to her man?

A couple of friends brought up this question during dinner last night which started off a blown up discussion into the matter. This was based on the fact that a friend of ours, Tracy settled down and really submits to her man.
Shamelessly one blurted out her boyfriend's financial status which is not the case following Tracy has a shoe business of her own.
I think the clear view would be the fact that he treats her right. You can't treat someone badly and expect them to follow up on your decisions. 
It all comes down to respect. Respecting yourself and respecting your lady
Listening. And most people just listen to reply and don't take time to understand the message being sent across
Professing. So many people are so scared to appear lame, they can't be their gentleman selves.
I feel like that alone is enough for a lady to see you in a different light. A great example is Kim Kardashian and Kanye West. Men and women have their different ways of submitting.

The discussion still continues,  feel free to give your views.

Laugh

You could be the most despised person
You could be a hobo
You could be dumb
You could smell the worst
You could be immature
You could be annoying
You could be a drunkard....

The minute you make me laugh, all is put aside.

Greed can never be quenched.

“Whether you have a Maruti or a BMW, The road remains the same. Whether you travel economy class or business, Your destination doesn’t change. Whether you have a Titan or a Rolex, the time is the same. There is nothing wrong in dreaming a Luxurious life. What needs to be taken care of is Not let the NEED become GREED. Because needs can always be met….but greed can never be fulfilled.”-

Say no to Xenophobia

Following the spread of xenophobia attacks in South Africa this week, it is disgusting to witness what is becoming of the world. For those of you who don't know what Xenophobia is, It is the dislike of people from different countries residing in one's country.
It has grown wildly in South Africa as they claim foreigners are snatching their jobs. .and there is no food. ..and there is no water....blah blah blah! ...
Zimbabweans are mainly targeted, among others. In one occasion, a man was burnt to death as onlookers watched while others even chanting and laughing.
Now, the saddest bit is the killing of the children. I looked at this photo below and nearly teared up. The kid is not even above 5years old, but is being targeted. In most cases, we look at these stories in the news and we sympathize and move on with our lives. Some people even have a preconceived idea that that's just Africa. It is already sad that we have racism to deal with, but the wound is much more painful when hate comes from the same kind.
I wrote this in order to bring awareness to you, spread the message and let us put a stop to this sick curse. Africa is for Africans #saynotoxenophobia.
