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!'

Saving Mandy

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...

Do Long Distance Relationships Work?

By
Health is defined as a state of physical, mental and social well-being (WHO 1946). Did you notice the SOCIAL part? Many doctors overlook this integral part of their patients needs. I have decided to tackle this issue of long-distance relationships because countless friends and family in couples are separated due to job obligations, school or other circumstances. So the question is: do long distance relationships actually work? Who are you dating? Joe Tracy, publisher of Online Dating Magazine believes that long distance relationships require very strong trust, commitment, guidelines and communication. " Studies show that a majority of people involved in long distance relationships eventually break up. That's why you see so many "experts" proclaiming that long distance relationships are a bad idea and don't work. Yet if you learn to master communication and set the parameters of your relationship, it can work. It's an uphill battle, but it is possible ...

First 136 Hours of Love - My Week One of Motherhood

By
Firstly for those guys who don't have kids and are thinking 'oh no, not another baby post'...I used to be you. And yes I still think most newborn babies look exactly the same - like prunes; I don't get why we need moment by moment feeds of a baby's every move when they all generally do the same thing right, and generally bored by the milestone photo's (how are we celebrating someone using a toilet alone? they better be!) Okay I am not that disinterested. Some babies are cute like the ones on beautifulblackbabies.com. But that's another post. The thing is now that I am on the other side of things, I sorta get it. No, no I am not selling out, let me try and explain in 10 simple points stuff I have learnt about being a mum in the last 135 hours since my world was turned up-side down. 1. My baby is the best. No, seriously. This is what every parent thinks. They have the best facial expressions, the best fingers, even the best poo! And the reason parents post a...
