10 things to do just for fun

  • Play a prank on someone, friend or co-worker, family member as long as its not cruel. For example write a funny note and stick it on the back of their clothes.(i know very unoriginal, maybe you can come up with better pranks than this)
  • Go take a ride in an amusement park. Whether its Disneyland or some other amusement park, go and have fun especially with kids or even just friends and family or lovers. Be a kid again once in a while. It's good for you!
  • Eat Chocolate: You need to indulge that sweet tooth once in a while and i have read somewhere that chocolate is good for you when you are feeling blue. Try it.

  • Drink wine: there is nothing like a glass of sweet red or white wine to end a stressful day. I absolutely love wine. My favorite right now is Cinzano rosso. Even the name is belisima.

  • Travel: I know travel is relatively expensive but if you can afford it take a vacation to a place you have always wanted to see especially in the summer or if you have never seen snow like me, try visiting a place in winter. Experience new cultures and new peoples.
  • Learn a new languange: i am learning spanish online and it is really fun and intriguing to learn another langugage apart from english! Encantado,El gusto es mio!
  • Makeover: i am currently having a new short hair do which i am loving and it makes me feel more confident and its kinda edgy. You can change your clothes too but just be confident and do something that compliments your personality.
  • Learn to play an instrument: it's so cool to learn how to play guitar or piano or a violin. 
  • Watch comedies: I laughed my ass off when i started watching friends. I absolutely love sitcoms because they are short and they have you in stitches  
  • Take a bath and soak in some bath salts as you listen to some music.
  • Learn how to cook: its really fun to learn how to cook.

Prisoner of love

Image
It is a beautiful thing to be in love but also a painful thing! So many misunderstandings can hurt you and sometimes it seems like you love someone more than they love you and it hurts grievously. However there is only one who understands and who chose to be a "prisoner of love" and that is Jesus Christ! We, Roman Catholics believe that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist. At the moment of consecration by the priest, the host becomes the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus. Jesus loves us so much that he never ever wants to be far from us, so before he died he instituted the Eucharist at the last supper.  I cannot even describe how much this love humbles me and makes me realize my own poor efforts at "love". His love is so beautiful and pure and it is truly everything a person could ever want or hope for! How many insults have we given him? How many times have we not visited him in the blessed sacrament and yet he is always there waiting for us!...

Xenophobia in South Africa

Image
In the recent past weeks i have truly been shocked and saddened by the situation of xenophobia in south Africa. Some sections of south Africans have been burning and killing other Africans who are not citizens of south Africa saying they are taking jobs meant for citizens. I have even heard that some teachers in schools are asking foreign students why they came to study in south Africa. Given south Africa's turbulent racial past, this truly baffles me. The late Nelson Mandela must be rolling in his grave right now. He fought for the racial freedoms of black Africans. How can we turn on our own people? Granted, racism is abhorrent but i just cant understand violence against your own race! South Africans need to do something about this. Stand up and fight this evil before it destroys you as a country. For those foreign African nationals living in fear, our prayers are with you! I can imagine how difficult it is to live your home and start a life somewhere only to have it des...

A cheerful Giver!

Image
I am sometimes selfish, it is one of my weaknesses as a person. I pray that God gives me a selfless heart so that i can give, and not just give but give with a joyful heart. When we are being charitable, it is important not to grumble inwardly but to give freely with joy. I know it is hard because it goes against our selfish nature but truth be told, it feels good to help out someone in need. We hold on to so many things that we do not need anymore. Our basements and storage spaces are filled with things we may not need anymore but we just keep holding on to them. However one important thing to note when being charitable especially when giving away things is, you need to respect the dignity of the person receiving. Do not give them torn clothing, or things that are basically best thrown out in the trash! Lets also understand that people receiving are human beings and we all want to receive good things. A priest once told me that when we are giving, we should give something ...
