Freedom Day 2012

They sacrificed their lives and time with their loved ones, so I could be free. I'm thankful. Without God, it was not going to be possible. Let us continue fight to free our minds and fight for economic equality. The struggle continues ...Happy Freedom Day

Suzaan Heyns x PPC Cement

Blog-sphere is buzzing with excitement over the Suzaan Heyns x PPC Cement collaboration to be shown at SA Fashion Week 2012.

I love concrete counter tops and wouldn't mind screed flooring in my bathrooms, especially if it came with the all important under floor heating.
That said, I can't help but wonder how will she give cement a fashion twist. Will she cover fabric in a thin layer of cement or make concrete jewelry pieces. Will she make beads to add onto some of her garments or use it as boning for corsets?

How heavy will the clothes be? I guess we'll have wait and see.

Still Feeling It

Losing sucks!!! Whether its a loved one or a soccer match but I'm still feeling it, the feeling most definitely has'nt left me yet. Mzansi hosting the FIFA 2010 World Cup is bigger than Bafana-Bafana or the African teams losing (though I'd love it of we won).
Seeing all those international fans still makes my heart tick, and reminds me that those LOC guys, did a great job at organising everything and it also makes feel better about all the taxes I pay... lol
I'm a soccer fan and having a daily dose of the best live soccer is just a dream.
Our team takes the field today, let's give them all the support we have...and pray they make to the next stage.

We are the Rainbow Nation

I've always loved the colourful Ndebele blanket... but seeing the African mamas dancing in them, doing their twirls at FIFA 2010 World Cup Opening Ceremony escalated my love for the blanket to a higher level. It was such a beautiful sight... one that will probably last a lifetime in my memory. I think that's what I will get myself as a FIFA 2010 souvenir.

Blow your VUVUZELA

I had so much fun yesterday at noon. It was just a sign of the fun that's gonna come for the rest of the month...I've been waiting for this moment for sometime...

FFF - Friday Football Fever

I took this photo at the opening match of the Confed Cup last year... it was one of my most proudest moments ever. It'll stay in my memory for a very long time.
If you didn't manage to get tickets for the World Cup, you can enjoy the spirit that will come with the beautiful game... by going to any of the Official FIFA Fan Parks around the country. Go on show your support.

Free in Parys

I was just trying to think back about how I celebrated Freedom Day previously. One way that comes to mind is a memorable trip I made to Parys. It was such and relaxing
escape...lotsa of antique shopping, lotsa good food at lovely restaurants...had a romantic day outing to the Vaal Riverside...it was awesome. The best thing is, I didn't even need to drive much to get there...it doesn't take more than to 3 hours to get to this little heaven from Pretoria.
