Untitled Ramblings...

So this weekend was a long weekend coz of yesterday's holiday (I don't even know what holiday it was, human rights or something). They shouldn't call it a "long weekend" coz of an extra day after Sunday. The weekend is never enough, but I managed to get up to a few things.

I tried to make over my bedroom but i never finished. Please tell me I'm not the only one that gets excited about doing something for the first few hours, days or months then the enthusiasm just wears off, hence i have so many thing undone in my life in general. I need to fix that.

But I did my hair and my face. No i don't have long hair, but I shampoo and condition and all that stuff. Its natural and I'm trying hard for it to grow healthily. I try use natural products and its works miracles for my kinky coils. I enjoy doing my hair. I loooove the refreshed feeling I get. I know its not interesting but let me share my routine for those who care to listen. So I use some cheap Palmolive Egg Shampoo and Conditioner, Apple Cider Vinegar, and Olive Oil.


On my face I put "dhaga", i don't know what its called in English. But its that soil like substance that pregnant women love to eat. It looks like clay but it isn't. If you know the name in English, holla. I only know the shona version. Anyway I made a mask with that stuff and yah, i had a mini pampering just for moi! Beautiful I tell you. So effective.

Enough girl talk!

Sometimes when I am going home, I have to use a taxi. My usual means of transport will not be available at that time. (A taxi is kombi by the way, they call them taxis here in SA). In total I use 4 of them. I HATE using taxis by the way. I hate it. Its squashed and there is always that random person that smells like they have never heard of a bathroom. The same person asks if I can please close the window, WHATTTT THE HELLLLL! Then there is that man that is too close for comfort. When he is reaching for his money in his pocket, he stands up and his bum is in my face or if this person is not standing in a moving taxi reaching for their pockets, they are nudging my freaking boob! Coz they are trying to get money from their purse or wallet. I DESPISE TAXIZ! I should just get a freaking licence and save for a car.

So after my 2nd taxi, I get to Jozi. I walk to my 3rd taxi. So while walking, the streets smell like hell. Men are peeing everywhere. People are just walking bumping in to you. And you have to hold your hand bag close to you or else you will walk thinking you still have it when its long gone. But what really bothers me is not only the street vendors that are frying their chicken and cooking pap in the most disgusting unhygienic of places but also the porn magazines and DVDs that are sold on the streets. There is lots of young kids that pass through the place I pass also and for me its unruly. Its not healthy for young minds and its disturbing. I have more to say on this matter, just no time to do so. Let me get back to work.

I don't envy your commute, I hate combis too I remember there was some in Zim that would write on the windows, 'I like your perm but not on my window'.

I think madhaka is mud? Don't quote me I'm not sure.

It's strange now that I have short hair I look after it so much more than I did my long hair. I condition it more often etc as well.
