Rural schools perform best in Grade 12!!!

Ok, so this morning I was proud, shocked and amuzed by what I saw on the front page of the daily local newspaper: Namibian.

Now, I want anyone to come and tell me that it's not possible! The I will give you a moerse klap, lol.

So proud of these learners. With the lack of facilities, but you've made it, keep it up!

Natasha Kameeta, well done dear, and with that attitude you have a bright future ahead of you, keep the good work coming, lol.

PS: ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE WITH HARD WORK AND PERSEVERANCE!!!

Till nex time chikas.

Mwah!!!

Beyond Impressed and proud!!!

So, I've been really searching for a local sport men or woman to write about, but I've made a promise to myself to really feel the person and their achievements, damn and did I get a youngster. Jesse Urikhob is a born Namibian, from Otjiwarongo. He was born on the 19th of March 1991, yes, he's just 20! I had the privilledge of meeting him a few years ago when he was till participating in the school's athletics, cause he was still a school learner, but already a start!

I can remember this day as it was yesterday, because I was at the competition that day, went to support a cousin of mine and then we watched this magificent race, and I was like, OMW, this ka-boy is like lightning (well, not really), but he was super fast.

A little piece of what he said about all of this, smilling and quite shy, lol:

“I was running as an under-13 in the north of the country. I was barefoot but I managed to win both the 100m and 200m events. Since then I’ve been hooked on running,”

Well, he's quite a runner indeed and making so many Namibians proud. I can just imagine how his family must feel.

His personal best time for the 100m sprint is 10.42 seconds, which is hell fast, believe me people. I watch this guy run most of the time, because I've made a promise to myself to support our local sport, doesn't matter what, because our guys need the moral support.

I love this picture, it really looks like his struggling to get around that bent, but boy oh boy, this was the proper run where he improved his personal best time in Mozambique. All in action!!!

His dream, aim, goal (whatever you want to call it) for this year is to qualify for the Olympic games. And am really praying, holding thumbs, doing all the juju, lmfga, for him to really make it. The exposure and the experience will just do him good. And I believe that everyone needs that boast.

A warming up moment for him! So concentrated and so focus. You go boy, just remember that a lot of people are behind you and we're proud of you! I am indeed very proud!!!!!

Till next time chikas.

Mwah!!!

Running you own race!!!

Enjoy your own race and run it to the fullest!!!

A few months ago, I was out running (jogging) through my neighborhood. I had about a kilometer to go on my path before I needed to turn off when I noticed a man about a half of a kilo in front of me. I could tell he was running a little bit slower than me and I thought to myself, "Good, I'll try to catch him." So I started running faster and faster. With every block, I could tell I was gaining on him just a little bit. A few minutes later, I was only about quarter kilo away, so I really picked up the pace and started pushing it. I was so determined to catch up with him that you would have thought I was in the last leg of the Olympic Games! Finally, I caught up to him and passed him.

On the inside, I felt so good that I had beaten him. (Of course, he didn't even know 'we' were racing.) But when I got my mind back on what I was doing, I realized I had missed my turn. I was so caught up in trying to beat this man I didn't even know that I went nearly six streets further than I was supposed to. I had to turn around and go all the way back.

Isn't that what happens in life sometimes? Maybe we're trying to catch up with someone else - a neighbor, friend or coworker. We get so wrapped up in the competition trying to outdo them, out dress them, or trying to prove that we're more important. We spend all this time and energy going down that path when we should be using it to move toward our own God-given destiny!

If that's you today, realize that your life would go to a whole new level if you would just quit competing with everyone around you. It takes a lot of physical and emotional energy to try to impress people all day long. But it's very freeing to say, "I don't have to impress anybody today. I have nothing to prove. I'm secure in who I am. And I am not going to feel bad if you look better, make more money, or get more recognition. I don't have to keep up with you; I'm going to run my own race."

Get free from comparison today so that you can move forward into the destiny God has in store for you!

1 year anniversary party of a friend of mine!

So, these two love birds succesfully and safely made it through one year, lol! I know Richie will kick my ass after he reads this, but am so proud of you two, really!!!

As I said Saturday, normally you will make the excuse to say that you were too drunk, and then apologise for what you did, but for the past year with these two, I've come to learn a new one: "I was too sober my friend and am sorry." - Richie Vries!!!

We had such an amazing time, just a bunch of friends together and celebrating what these two have accomplished in the past year together!!!!

Well, I had to get rid of my shoes, cause they were hurting me, lol, hence the reason I was barefoot most of the time, lol.

Max and Mariana was also present, all smiles and happy. I can't remember when last I saw Max and I was so damn happy to see him there as well. It was really just a wonderful get together!!!
 

Greatia came from CPT earlier that day and Felicity got of the bus to Mariental to spend the day with us and it was all worth it. So much fun and enjoyment and getting to spend some time together again after quite some time. The three of us come a long way, Grade 6, if I am not mistaken, lol.

We had a walking bar men, lol, Uwe, you were just great!!!. He was just wonderful, filling your glass just when it gets empty, lol. It was well organised and very entertaining.

 I wanna wish the two love birds all the best for the future and rather trust and listen to each other, before trying to listen to other people.

As I always say: Keep your issues in the bedroom, cause your friends and the people out there only knows what you're telling them. All the best my friendes, am proud of you!

Till laters chickas.

Mwah!!!

Weekend in Kalahari Sands, Thanks to my Aunts!!!

It was a fantastic suprise to get a call from my aunts inviting me to spend the weekend with them in the Kalahari Sands Hotel in Windhoek. I had a fully packed schedule, but I wouldn't have declined that invite, lol. I love the Kalahari Sands, because of the very cool and relaxing atmosphere and always wanted to go check it out again after the Hilton experience.

This is the view from our room, and there you can see the Hilton hotel! Fantastic and beuatiful view though!

Just a peak of my room! I loved the whole setup, all executive room stuff, lol! So felt good!

Compliments from my two lovely aunts! I really love them and totally enjoyed the treat! The way everything was so wow and special! Thanx again!

Just loved the different paintings in the corridors. The quality and the umph of everything was just amazing. This is all after the revamp of the hotel! A lot of changes I must say and their spa environment is to die for. I just loved every single second been in those rooms, feeling, smelling and experience the tranquilance. The girlies was wonderful.

Berny's bday - yeah, 10th of January lol!

Fantastic person, lovely personality and I still think she missed her career turn off, lol. This woman is one of a kind.

This is in her kitchen, she was cooking dinner and obviously, Uda and myself were sitting with some ice cold 061 Lager. Fabulous evening and good company. We had so much fun, actually laughed ourselves to a stand still everytime.

I wish my friend a fantastic year ahead. She just deserves the best in this world, cause of who and what she is.

We've met a few years ago, very randomly, lol, let me give you some brief explanation as to how we've met:

One morning on my way to school, yeah, was still studying, the 14th of April 2006, I was walking to school when this woman drove passed me and hooted and waived as if we've knowm each other. And I just waived back with a big smile. She was still driving a red opel corsa, but the small once. It went on like that for like a month I guess and the one day she stopped and just offered me a lift out of the blue and for a student that was just a fantastic gesture and I so enjoyed that ride. And the rest is history as they say. But I don't regret been friends with her ever since. Through thick and thin. Just love you Bernadette Swartz.

So yeah, we had so much fun last night.

Mwah!!!

Weekend that was! Oh so quiet!

This was one quiet and relaxing weekend. Was home with alex and slept most of the time. My body so needed the rest! And I feel quite revitalised and fresh today! But I still think that one should start working at 12:00, because the mornings are forever such a drag! I hate mornings and especially Monday mornings.

Well, a lot of this a bit later, it's a typical Monday today!

ciao...

Mwah
