Whats going on.

I just went over to look at the World news, which I used to do before the WC started and realised that there is so much going on in the World that is over shadowed by the soccer. Kyrgyzstan is in trouble and there are floods in France. I had no idea how out of touch I was with the world in the past week. Our local news only talks about soccer and it has even taken over the CNN website. Don't get me wrong, the focus on our country is very good and opens a hell of a lot of doors for us, but in all honesty, the World Cup has not touched my life in any way. Yes my Guy and Son have gone to a match, but I still come to work everyday and I still go on as normal with my life. My finances have not even been touched for a second. If things are like this for me, and I am a middle class person, what about those who live in squatter camps, who do not own T.V.'s and who's only feel of the World Cup is what they here from people around them. Just a thought... I wish the WC was taken to those people too, and companies cared about taking the less fortunate people to see games when they would otherwise never be able to afford it. It could give them hope for their future's and a way for them to feel in touch with the greatest moment our country has experienced.
I guess that is just me.

It Came!!

I got my prize today.... I am sooo exited.

This is only the 2nd thing I have ever won, the first being a Willards Cheese Curls wrist watch when I was 5 years old at the time. I took some pics of the Steamer:

It is good to know that I will be saving a whole R1000 and a whole lot of time making food for my little lady.

Youth Day 2010

So Yesterday was out annual Youth Day, but because of all the World Cup stuff, there was not one thing done for the day that I know of. How sad, since every year they make big fuss out of the day. I guess since we are living in a democracy since 1994, and the World Cup hitting our shores, we are creating a new legacy and letting go of our horrible apartheid past. For those of you who do not know what Youth Day is about, go here : http://www.southafrica.info/about/history/soweto-150606.htm.

The World Cup has been really successful so far, but man did Bafana Bafana Suck last night. For some reason they could not get it together. I still support them and hope that France does not make them look bad next week but c'mon guys, you seemed to have lost it last night. Why did the ref have to hand out so many cards if something was not wrong. Well I was so disappointed that all I could do was go to bed, hoping dream land would save me from the humiliation. Well it did not! I HAD TO DREAM ABOUT THE MATCH TOO! I guess I should be grateful that Bafana can play in the World Cup at all, since they did not qualify on their own... He he...

The last thing I wanted to say (that I forgot to add) I will be on Great Expectations next week to tell my Birth Story. How great is that. I am so nervous but yet so exited. I hope I don't look like a fart. I will post here when it does play since the show will be pre-recorded.
