#enufsaid!

*movesonup*

Hello Future, where have you been all my life? Woops is that the 3rd Month of 2012 already?? I am late, I am late for a very important date, cant say hallo, goodbye good-old days. Hallo fabulous, funky, trendy, stylisiticly correct present and futre...#Zookeyinwonderland!

Keeping up with the Benjamins!

Well hello Future!
Where have you been hiding yourself?
Really?
Well I think the past kept me away from you, you fabulous thang you.

Third month of the year of our Lord, twenty twelve and what do you know? I grow in love with Ben, short for The Benjamin. haha not just any Benjamin, The Benjamin. To know them is to love them. #stickwithmehoney's...I'll show you places. (http://www.benjamin.co.za/)

Thank you so very much to Fiona, Ariel, Charmiane, Tess, Sli & team for a fabulous weekend. I won't do a marketing shpeel, cause thats just so passe'. Marketing has just moved from yada-yada to being the brand. Something along the lines of: don't do as I say, do as I do! Yeah, you know you wanna so dont give me that funny look. What I will say is: you got to experience their hospitality, their smiles, their french loaf lunch sarmies, their water that screams "drink me now". I am not sure if its the strawberrys, black berries, flowers and lemon slices all nicely chopped up in the water that made water drinking my newest hobby but all I know is that Ben is the newest male name on my lips, after A*** the man after my very own heart! Everything has to be in alphabetic order *naughty grin*

 Hello Future, what was that about me having to loose weight? I cant hear you, please speak a bit louder, you are sounding like an 80year old right now. Oh Shurrup, I am my bra-size so don't tell me to act my bra size not my shoe size. Speaking about sizes, you are acting like my weight right now...okay you win! Sorry reader of my blog, I do have personal conversations with my future every now and then. Funny thing, my future sounds like my older sister! (A 40 something year old with no stretch mark, wrinkle or cellulite)...ggggrrrrr . Yes I am jelous, what went wrong with my genes? Back to me and you, the reader of my blog.

I will come back on here with my new, sexy looking, slimmers type of food, and holding thumbs that my butt would stop having a life of its own, and obey the rules. I own it damn it! It cant be spreading its own gospel

I will, I will, I will find a diet plan with food that does not make me pull funny faces...#bringingbacksexy!!

Stay fabulous or come to The Benjamin! Okay change of mind: lets do both. Fabulous and The Benjamin belong in one sentence, after all.

We quench that JAN-WORRY thirst @ Mankwali

Jan-worry is one of those months that everybody wishes could just whizz by. Budgets are low, the festive season has come and gone, kids go back to school and the hussle is back on.

Worry not...come and have a meal at Mankwali and get a Coca-Cola for free, coz thats how we roll. We understand our clients needs. Your thirst is our business.

Have any meal for R45.00 and boom you are sorted with a cool-drink, a relaxing atmosphere and happy people serving you and a good conversation is only a smile away.

We also book out the venue for your personal dinners, lunches, parties, workshops or events. CALL us :-)

it all started with the love of good company

...the story continues daily at MANKWALI...a place I would love every beauty-filled, happy, outgoing, adventurous person to experience.  I called it an African Cuisine/cafe because its not realy a restuarant, more of a soul-kitchen and its coz I/we cook the way Momma taught us...Our kitchen is a free place for guests to come into, either for a chat or request of the way they would like the meal done.

MANKWALI African Cuisine was birthed in Morningside, Durban on the 1st November 2011...and would love to have you come through to say HI and have a bite or two with us.  We have poetry sessions, reading sessions and story telling sessions on Friday and Saturday evenings. Pop in. We'd love to host you.

Fashionably in style

The Fork, Knife & Glass Dining Club took poetry, fashion, beautiful people and a chef into a boutique store, just so that ladies could catch up on gossip and share their stories!

We look forward to hosting you next time you come to KwaZulu Natal.  Fork, Knife and Glass Dining club uses new, old, unusual and vintage spaces to create conversation, laughing faces and dancing feet!

Gold Fish in a glass bowl

Swimming in circles

Gold in Colour

Pricey in worth

 Alone

Even if I grew to be a Koi Fish

I would still be alone

My type are rare

Unique, just like the rest

So let me drink of this water

Swim in it

Empty my system in it.

This is my lot in life

Gold and pricey

 a beauty to see

Difficult it is to get me a match they say

They could need to import one

Or export me

Part Two

At least they appreciate me

They ate the other ones who they saw at sea

Made fish fingers for breakfast together with the eggs from the good-morning Hen

She’ll be next for lunch soon

let me sit in this fish bowl

And ring n’around

Let the cat jump in and drink from this fish bowl

 Atleast,

I can speak of adventure

And the cat can share on how it died when he gets to cat heaven

He would have died in style

With a gold fish in its throat

Like Jonah was in the belly of the whale

I could be in the belly of the Cat

He would be killed by greed and thirst

And I would be a Hero

Tell Tom, Goofeeld the cat’s owner to do an autopsy and save the fish
