I killed a snake and I liked it.

By
Oh yes I did! Well, our male housemate really did all the throwing..I was doing the screaming and missing..but I swear I got it good one time. It was totally scary, exhilarating and similar-to-sky-diving typa thing.

I recommend everyone go out there and kill a snake.

No disrespect to my friends who think its wrong to kill an animal that has done you no harm. But Dude, the thing was in our house! I shall not lay down to feel some creepy crawly slippery slimey thing next to me in my bed. Not the african way, folks! Had to do what we had to do.

So why was it good for me? Cause I took out all my frustrations of the week on that snake. The lectures, tutorials, feeling fat, getting dumped, exams looming, feeling bad for making someone feel bad, alcohol problems, missing home, laundry deficit, endless ward-rounds, fear of boda-boda's, and generally everything bad and sad...ON TO THAT SNAKE. And guess what? All gone!

I think it's the same as the Cross. You know, the cross Jesus died on? He says 'Cast your burdens unto me'..And thats what I did. But we need to offload those issues on the cross every day. He died so that we may be free. Problem-free! Worry-free! Aint God cool?

So for those of you with severe problems..lets go looking for a snake in this ugandan bush. I think I'm an expert now!

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...
