I will not ramble on!

By
Number One. What am i doing exactly? A friend told me blogging is where its at. And so here I am. Don't really know what to make of it. Is it a diary? Or just a rambling of the sordid details of my life? (same thing ha!) Is it an opportunity to be legally self centred? I can talk about myself all day...or i could share all the juicy gossip around my circles? Hmm, the latter suggestion is intriguing me.. LOL. Ok, the truth is I'm an ex-writer. I used to write. Really well and all the time. I remember at 15 I produced a 13 chapter book called Sweden. The sequel followed shortly after, a romance about a disturbed boy entitled Estonia. Don't ask what the fixation was about countries..it just happened. They were quite a hit in my class. Then there's the book i accidentally got published when i was 14. Writestuff Competition. That was when everyone told me I could and should write. But nooooooooo...i had to get straight A's for my O'levels and was aptly placed in the Science classes for A'level...Hence my disgruntled life as a medical student. 

But, I want to write.

There is so much I could write about..but I want steetime to be focussed on something more specific. I need an audience that will want to come back and read more. i am not about to ramble on. I could talk about my extremely dramatic lovelife which really should be made into a telenova? But i'd have to call the guys Boy A upto L. They myt figure it out and decide to sue me or something... There's all these philosophies I have in my head. About Life. (i can't stand it when people try and talk about life like they are experts. The only experts are dead. if u are still alive u don't know everything!) So i won't bog u down with my theories. There's also the possibiliy of writing about my career dreams and progress. uh...this would not be as boring as it sounds. You see I'm a medical student who dreams of making films. huh..get why it would be exciting now? I could give u the details about how much i loathe reading about anemia and jaundice. What if my lecturers read this blog and fail me?! Gosh. I'm stuck. I could tell the story of how i was born and bred in Zimbabwe, flown off to Tanzania, aclimatized in Kenya and settled to do 2 yrs of 1st yr in Uganda and finally settled down as a miniceleb in a nice little university in western Uganda...where i currently rot.

Argh..i can't decide. Everything feels boring. And I will not ramble on! I am certain I have the wit and charm and intelligence to come up with a fairly interesting blog. (That word blog reminds me of mr Bean. Can just picture him saying it. "Blog"..lol.) nevertheless..i can't decide now. Are you guys allowed to help? Someone do help. Give me ideas! 

About to publish my first post. Should i be excited? What type of person has a blog? Do they get excited for publishing a post? Man, whatever.

Welcome to 'Its steetime!'

What's your 'Real Age'?

By
RealAge, Inc. is an American media corporation that provides health information to consumers. The company’s stated mission is to encourage consumers to maximize their health and wellness by making their "RealAge" younger. It was founded by media medic, Michael Roizen , currently the chief wellness officer at The Cleveland Clinic . log on to realage.com So basically its a website which asks you a bunch of questions then it tells you what age you really are. It will ask you things like from 'how much do you drink' to 'how many orgasms do you have a week' and so on. It is a long quiz. Apparently since it started in 1999, 27 million people have taken the test. Guess everyone wants to live life to the youngest! So of course I took the test..and I am not revealing my real age. I was appalled to say the least! And now they are sending me all sorts of suggestions about how I can 'regain my youth' e.g:   Burn More Fat with These...

Saving Mandy

By
When you have influence, it is your duty to stand up for others and help others up too We had so much in common.  We were both born and grew up in the same sleepy hometown of Bulawayo, almost same neighborhood. We attended the same high school, some years apart, but both proud and loud Convent girls. At some point, we must have taken the same Parklands surburb bus from City Hall to home. Our siblings almost same age-groups; our families and friends intertwined all the way back to roots in Dombodema rural home. We both went on to study medicine, she did dentistry, I did MBChB. But eventually we both did a masters in Public Health in the same programme at the University of Zimbabwe. We both got married and set up home in Harare. Bulawayo girls stick together when they arrive in the big bad city. When I had Anashe, she had Siyabonga. We were both pregnant in 2018. Being senior medical professionals we both had access to the “best” medical care. We both had Cesarian Sections...

Is Everyday One Word or Two? English Test Woes

By
IELTS (pronounced alternatively by people as EYE-Elts and EYE-Lets) is the standardized international English test from the UK and Australia, equivalent to Toefl for the US. I had to do it for a myriad of reasons but mainly to prove to the aforesaid 'Commonwealthers' that I can indeed communicate in English. Disgruntled but excited I booked my test for this past Saturday and pictured myself getting 98% because ‘I even have a blog-o!’ How good must my English be? Woke up at the crack of dawn!   I had received warnings of non-refundable expulsion for late-comers so my senses were acutely aware of my alarm clock. Thinking I was too early, I arrived to find a horde (word I used in my speaking test) of anxious-looking people already waiting outside the British Council building. I immediately befriended the most cheerful face sitting at the end of the line who was to become my friend for the whole day. Payal had carried 5 pens, 5 pencils, several rubbers and a sparkling sharpener...
