Its not yours……..

They say if you want something badly enough then you need to make a plan and get it

However some people have misinterpreted this saying sooooo badly

Lets say you are a guy and you really want to date this woman, and you make means to approach her and she rejects you

That doesnt mean find forceful ways to get her

I am reminded of this by something someone once told me about this beautiful girl whom every guy in her area really wanted to date and somehow she kept on saying no

So these bunch of guys came up with a plan to send the most quiet in the group to go and approach her and he did

The lady was so smitten and listened to the guy and they went out on a couple times and they ended up dating

But aomehow this girl was reluctant to sleep with this guy but eventually she did

Little did this poor girl know that the guy had a video camera running all along and recorded the entire time they were having sex

He gave the recording to his friends who went and plugged the recording on a TV in a packed pub near this girl’s house and pressed play

The news of this recording spread so fast because majority of the people in the pub knew her and how she carried herself and were so shocked

When she found out, she was so humiliated she didnt even want to set foot out of her house because everyone just stared at her

The way she was so embarassed, her family saw fit that she relocate to another town because she was on the verge of taking her own life

She went to a town where she knew no one and had to find her feet all on her own

Nonetheless she is continuing with her life and she is excelling from what I hear

The gentleman who had humiliated this girl was hit by a stray bullet and passed away

Then there are those who feel the need to take your car away from you at gun point

You would be stuck in traffic from a long day from work and you hear a knock on the window and realise its a man carrying a gun about to rob you

You are so shocked, and the guy smashes your window and orders you out of the car and takes it and drives off

You have barely had this car and have made payment for almost 7 months and its gone

Yes there is insurance and all of that but those who have dealt with insurance companies know how much of a pain in the $&@ it is and need alot of ptience

Now this guy has taken your car, stripped it of its parts and sold them for such a ridiculous amount of money its even sad to say

Chances are you will be stuck paying for a car thats not even in your position and the same guy who took your car is already on the prowl for his next victim

In both these scenarios that I have given, there are a number of people who are left suffering and had no part in

I guess its part of the society we live in and have to learn to be more vigilant right?????

NOT FAIR AT ALL……….

Taxi chronicles continue……

Well there I go putting my bag on my shoulder and off I go to go catch a taxi

On way to my favourite hang out spot.

I am looking all fly and the weather is on point and playing its part

I walk across the street and here comes a taxi and I make the sign to where I am going and the driver stops

I climb into the taxi right in the front seat and I am very happy about that

Nothing more annoying than climbing into a taxi and all the windows are closed because someone’s weave is going to blow all over the place……..

I am busy scratching through my purse for some coins and hey wait the driver makes a left turn uhmmm no we are meant to be going straight

I immediately ask the driver where on earth we are going????

He says I am taking you to the taxi rank where you are supposed to get a taxi in the first place.

I instruct him to stop the taxi immediately so that I can climb out……..he drives faster instead🙆🏽‍♀️🙆🏽‍♀️🙆🏽‍♀️🙆🏽‍♀️🙆🏽‍♀️🙆🏽‍♀️🙆🏽‍♀️

Yhooooo I was fuming and told him where to stop the damn taxi, and by now there is another woman who has also joined me in telling this driver off

I decide to keep quiet and allow him to take me back to the taxi rank because arguing with a taxi driver is a lost cause

As he awaits the boom gate to open, I graciously climb out and I dont close the door

I walked back where he got me, the other lady is still behind me screaming at the top of her lungs at this man and I am thinking: if this chick doesnt stop screaming she will be the cause of me consuming alcohol today and its mid-week and I shouldnt

I stop another taxi and the other drivers are instructing this driver to not take me, I just glared at him and he told me to climb in and close the door and off we went

Why should I be bullied and yet I am paying for where I am going????

And these taxis wonder why we opt for the bus instead……..no such nonesense when catching the bus

Now its time to go home……..Lord let there be no issues

Taxi chronicles #3

The taxi struggle is real and its not getting any better

You wake up in the morning and you know you have to rush so as to not find yoursef standing in the queue for a long time or else you will miss the following taxi you have to catch

When you get to the queue you scan all the people who are ahead with the hope that you notice a person that you personally know

You go up to them and start a conversation which is usually followed by a lot of giggling

Before you know it, a taxi has arrived and the line is moving……..

You move with the line too because you dont want to end the conversation with the friend and at the back of your head you can feel that one woman’s eyes piercing through your back so as to see if you will move back to your original spot……

But you know better and have no intentions of going to stand at the back anymore and the minute a taxi arrives to pick uo the next load……..you are right in the front seat and right next to the driver

What do you do?????? You strike up a conversation with the driver and you have a huge smile on your face

The taxi starts to move and then you hear people start to whisper about how some people love moving from behind and skipping all the others who managed to wake up on time and end up sitting in the front seat

Then you turn around and instruct the commuters that there is no lose change and to kindly start passing their fares to the front

Please there are five rows and three people per seat so you expect to hear people say: thats the fare for three people and not one one

Then you start sorting out the fares and the bickering starts again, I didnt get my change and all you do is ask the driver how much he is supposed to have per load, count it and hand it to him

With the change thats left you turn around and hand it to the next person behind you and ask them to sort it out

You turn around to the driver and you are no longer smilling and you ask if there’s any music in his taxi

You wait and he pushes the button and its the most crappiest music ever that you never listen to and he puts the volume up so loud and the blood just drains from your face

Mind you the commuters at the back are still on about their change that hasnt come but luckily you have arrived at your stop

As you get off, a fight errupts in the taxi with people moaning that they didnt get their money back

You put on your earphones as you walk towards the next taxi you have to catch in order for you to get to work and you realise

You didnt pay………..🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈🙈

Road tripping…………

One December my friends’ and I went on trip as we had to attend an event at one of my friends house

There we four us, 3 gentleman and as always I was the only female and yes I wasnt one of the designated drivers

We were scheduled to leave at 18:00 and we only left at 20:00 and one would think I was the one who caused us to leave late but no it was one of my male friends

He is such a diva, and no he is not gay. He is one hundred percent heterosexual who is in touch with his feminine side (he would kill me if he ever read this)

He just had to have his hair cut, take a shower and pack his bag at 18:00. The same 18:00 we were meant to leave

So while he did that we decided to entertain ourselves by……… yep drinking and to punish him, we made him the designated driver

Finally he was done and half the bottles we had planned to consume while we were on our way were gone and we were loud and happy

We needed to pack our luggage in the car and there was this one box that just couldnt seem to fit

It had important merchandise in the form of bottles so we knew we couldnt leave it behind no matter what

Now since it wouldnt fit in the boot, there was one way we could get it there and it was to consume it

Now since two of our friends were the designated drivers, this meant it was left up to the two who would be sitting in the back seat to make use of this opportunity and we had more than enough time as the journey was about 10 hours

So we got in and placed the box on the middle seat and off we went

Half and hour after we had left we needed to pee and when the car stopped we were nearly half way out the car chasing to the bathroom to relieve ourselves

You would think we would learn our lesson and not consume anymore alcohol but nope we continued where we left off

Everytime we would want to stop, we were told that this is a few minutes we could not spare as we needed to get to our destination and had an extra two hours we needed to recover as we left late

Now do you think people who had aready consumed so much alcohol would be puing any attention to that…….oh no SIR😊

My friend, the one who made us leave late, decided he would take over the driving and believe you me when I say he drove bloody well

He kept his mouth shut and his eyes glued on the road and drove non-stop until we were 10 km away from his home-town, which was where we were going, and he told the owner of the car to drive the rest of the way

Now bare in mind, it was my first time going to visit my friend’s hometown and meeting his family and I couldnt even stand……..what an impression I was going to give

But heyyyy this was not my boyfriend so I had nothing to worry about right?????

And we finally arrived, as I opened the door……….did a bottle not roll out the car?????

I was soooo embarrassed and all this old lady who was opening the door to welcome me was just smiled and hugged me

I just prayed she couldnt smell my breath as it was as though I was a brewery

They showed me to my bedroom and I just dove inside the bed and all I managed to take off were my shoes

I woke up in the morning and I didnt recognise where I was and was scared to get out the room

I grabbed my phone and I had a number of missed calls and unread messages from my father and friends

My stress levels shot up and I started panicking thinking something must be wrong

I called my father and he just said he wanted to check if we had travelled safely

I am sure he knew exactly how I felt as he could hear from my groggy voice

My friend came to wake me up and all he did when he opened the door and he saw me was to laugh and hand me a glass of ice cold Coca Cola and told me to get out the bedroom and come meet his family

I put on my tracksuit pants and a large shirt, brushed my teeth and put on my glasses and braved the heat and the loud singing going on outside

I met his siblings, aunts, uncles and cousins and so forth and couldnt remember a single one’s name as I just couldnt focus

Mind you today is the day of the festivities and yes there will be more drinking taking place and I ended up missing out because I had been sick the whole day

Did my friend worry about me????? Hell no he was having the time of his life because he was home

I decided I need to cure myself and I knew exactly what to do but that depended on the availability of the product thats going to assist me with the journey to curing myself

Then I heard the most awesome sound ever and I knew the Lord had heard my prayers and my cure had arrived and was announcing itself

The meat had arrived and was dragged to the side of yard where it will be slaughtered

The older generation came and did their speeches and the youngsters began to slaughter the sheep

Young females were preparing to start cooking and I would notice a few of them had coffee mugs next to them and I knew what they were drinking was not as innocent as their faces

I didnt care if they didnt give me any to drink as I had had my fair share to last me the whole weekend and had the headache to show for it

I sat down and started helping with the chopping and I swear it must have taken me an hour to peel one carrot

I was so happy when my friend grabbed me out of that kitchen and shoved a plate of cooked intestines in my hand and told me to eat

As soon as I was done I saw him come to me with an ice cold beer and I knew my eyes would finally be opened and I too could start to enjoy the festivities

I danced and chatted the whole day and night away until I met who would end up to be my boyfriend but hey thats for another story

The next day we woke up and prepared for the journey back to our homes and everyone in the car was quiet

The journey back was not so joyful as we knew the following day we would be going back to work

I slept the whole way and woke up when I was at my doorstep and all I could do was dream about my trip and smile………❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Taxi chronicles #1

I use public transport regularly especially when I travel to my home town Lusikisiki

To say my taxi trips aren’t entertaining for me, would be like saying Trevor Noah is not a comedian…….

So I arrive at the taxi rank and they show me to the taxi to Lusikisiki and trust me I was praying I would be the only passenger left before the taxi goes and did that happen……NO!

I was actully the first and had to wait for another 15 people to arrive before we can go and I just knew exactly what I needed to calm me down……..Coca Cola

As I am sipping my coke comes a lady who you can see is absolutely pissed off and shouting at someone over the phone and she didnt stop even though she had dropped the phone……

As she was mumbling to herself she turns to me and says: how do you pack a pair of takkies and not pack socks with……..

At this point I am thinking, you have nice problems…….here I am worried about being out of a job soon and you are cursing over a pair of socks but hey we will leave it at you were just venting……..

As the taxi is getting full in comes a gentleman who is polite and even gives up his prefered seat because there were two people travelling together and wanted to sit together so he moved to the seat in front of me

And finally we were off and I started saying my silent prayer as I always do before I commence with my journey and made sure I sit in such a manner that the person sitting next to me knows I have no intention of having a conversation with him at all and I think he got the picture because he didnt even greet me

As we are on our way I notice the fellow infront of me is drinking an energy drink but he is gulping this down but it never gets finished

I take a closer look and notice that he is mixing alcohol with this energy drink and there is more on the floor in the palstic bag that he is carrying

Then he started speaking to people next to him, then he became loud and speaking directly into people’s faces and demanding that they look at him when he speaks

At this point I am already annoyed and my prayers have now changed from Lord help us get to our destination safely, to Lord please let this guy not turn around and start speaking to me

After we had been driving for about an hour or so someone in the taxi asks the driver if he could stop so that he can pee on the side of the road

The driver stops and two guys jump out to relieve themselves and then enter the taxi again

Literally twenty seconds after we were on our way guy, the drunken fellow says he wants to pee

The driver says no he had stopped and he wont stop until we reach our destination which will be in about two hours

The drunken guy now stands up and starts cursing at us and spraying us with what he is drinking which now I can smell is brandy

The ladies curse back and I am just sitting in the corner and watching this guy closely……..or so I thought

While he is busy cursing he starts peeing on himself fully clothed mind you

A couple of minutes later the guy next to me decides to put on his torch because he too has noticed that the drunken fellow is peeing and there is my bag on the floor in between this guy legs and getting drenched in urine

Ohhhh man I jumped up and grabbed my bag but it was too late as my bag was already wet

The taxi driver stopped the taxi and let the guy out in the middle of the street with his bag and off we left

Everyone was laughing except me as I am now worried about my bag and praying that it didnt go through to my clothes

I got home and emptied my bag and thank goodness my clothes were safe and I was safely home and headed straight for my bed in an attempt forget all about my ordeal…..and I did just that!!!!!!
