Lioness

I have always been a lover of Zodiac signs. I am lioness! A peculiar one at that! Was born on the third of August many years ago, and I am everything that you have imagined a Leo to be, if not more.Leo is the fifth sign of the zodiac and Us Leo people, love and I mean LOVE attention. I enjoy being on the centre stage of my circle like many other Leos, and this makes it hard for one to miss us.

We Leo people are ambitious and our strength of purpose allows us to accomplish a lot. I mean we are scouted by a lion! !! Though some Leos like taking to the stage literally, I am not one for that. The limelight is really not my comfort zone. I am comfortable being in the limelight of the small circle I always keep. My flair for being dramatic should however not be underestimated. I attack issues head on. I tend to appear as aggressive and haughty, it is justifiable! I mean I’m the king of the jungle after all. Them other animals will bow down to the king, batho re ka se lekane re se meenoafter all.

Unlike lions, Leo people are filled with the utmost warmth and enthusiasm and people wanna be surrounded by such. A lion is feared and Leo people are admired. How many times have you heard the saying “surround yourself with positive people?” Leos are those people! Better believe. … We are pleasurable, by default. Injalo lento.

Lions are majestic animals, they are strong and dignified. I need not mention that I am like that as well. I am strong because of the things that I have overcome and still continue to, and I am dignified because I respect others and expect them to respect me in return. My strength and dignity motivate me to work harder in order to achieve the goals that have been set.

I am not a team player per say, but I function exceptionally well in a team because I am open minded and am willing to learn from others. Leos are said to be born natural leaders, Lol, but I am not. I am too autocratic and overbearing to lead. Opinions are the cheapest commodity YES and I got a whole stack of them. It is a Leo attribute after all.

Leos are ruled by the sun (the centre of the universe and the fuel for our being)!!! How great is that? This in turn makes us consider ourselves as indispensable. The world does revolve around us. Our enthusiasm is boundless and we have a generous spirit. Our outgoing and tremendous zest for life says it all. I am not a hopeless romantic like the majority of other Leos but romance is an essential to any human being of any other zodiac sign. Loyalty is very important to us, we do not betray one of our own.

The element associated with Leo is fire, the sun is hot hot!! So is a Leo’s persona! We Leo people are fearless and strong. We are not saying others aren’t. We are just stronger than others, that is all. Courage is distilled in us by default too and our warm hearts draws people to us. When we love, we do it for real. Our charms extend to all, children especially.

Leo strong attributes include: Confidence, Ambition, Generosity and Loyalty. Our weak attribute include being pretentious, domineering, Melodramatic, Stubborn and vain. Us Leo people are very independent and super sensitive, no matter how hard we try to hide the attribute. I mean we are all about pride!!!

Africa under fever siege!

I doubt I am the only South African concerned about the Ebola hemorrhagic fever (EHF) killing our brothers and sisters in other parts of Africa. I mean it is only a matter of time until the false alar cases we've heard of in the country, are actually not false alarms no more. It seems to be spreading from one African country to the next, like wild fire if I should add.

I will have you know that I actually didn't know about the disease until like a month ago, when it brought the huge amount of people to the ground.

Had to conduct a research and share some 411 pertaining the fever:
The virus may be acquired upon contact with blood or bodily fluids of an infected animal. Spreading through the air has not been documented in the natural environment. Fruit bats are believed to carry and spread the virus without being affected. Once human infection occurs, the disease may spread between people, as well. Male survivors may be able to transmit the disease viasemen for nearly two months. (OMG hey!!)
To confirm the diagnosis, blood samples are tested for viralantibodies, viral RNA,or the virus itself.
No specific treatment for the disease is yet available. (Hence the large number of death reports)Efforts to help those who are infected are supportive and include giving either oral rehydration therapy(slightly sweet and salty water to drink) or intravenous fluids (google them if you don't know them).The disease has a high risk of death, killing between 50% and 90% of those infected with the virus. (I mean...)
The disease typically occurs in outbreaks in tropical regions of sub-Saharan Africa.
The first case of it is said to have been identified in Sudan. .. This year's outbreak marks the largest compared to previous cases, it claimed many lives.

The virus causes bleeding in and oitside the body. Imagine the amount of pain that one must go through...
It damages the immune system and organs, and causes a drop in the blood-clottng cells.

It starts showing symptoms from the second day up to the 21st day of infection .
The symptoms include:

• High Fever
• Headache
• Joint and Muscle Aches
• Sore Throat
• Weakness
• Stomach Pains

As the disease gets worse it cause bleeding inside the body, as well as from the eyes, ears and nose. Some people cough or vomit blood or have a bloody diarrhea and get a rash.

A vaccine ought to be found before the whole African continent comes to an end...
Really!

Get Ready! Big Brother Hotshots Starts September 7

What do you think?

SAY WHAT???!!!

Trust: the belief that somebody or something is good, sincere, and honest and will not to try to harm or trick you.

I don’t know what it is but people tend to have trust issues, it’s so bad that it is no longer seen as a problem but as a sign of caring! I don’t buy that, a relation of any kind should be based on trust, if I find myself questioning ones’ loyalty or motives then that is a problem for me.

 It simply means that I don’t trust the person, question is, what am I still doing around them? A relation without trust is doomed. You got a choice, its either you work on having that trust base or you just call it quits. Trust is like respect it is not given to you, you earn it!!! It is also easy to break it and restoring it is something else, if even possible.

Remember the saying: “love them all but trust no one?”  It is for selfish people, truth is not everyone is untrustworthy and you have to take a chance in life and trust people wholeheartedly and it’s too bad if they break that trust, move on, and trust someone else. It is a cycle like that. We are all bound to be hurt in life by the people we trust and that builds us up emotionally as people, it is somehow a learning curve. Not everyone is going to break your trust, if you have been hurt before you shouldn’t mistreat other people for the mistakes committed by previous people.

If you have been cheated on by your ex it doesn’t mean your next will do it to you, nothing sucks as much as paying for another person’s mistakes TRUST ME. Why hang out with me whilst expecting me to do something bad? That is being hypocritical, you not better than the person in which you don’t trust.

As for people who have broken other people’s trust, be it intentionally or otherwise...SHAME ON YOU!!!!!!!!

Trust issues need to be dealt with!!!!

My jingle bells aren’t jingling yet

Festive holiday mood begins on the very first day of December. Do you agree or AGREE? Well it has been [] days into the holiday season and I am sad to say I haven’t experienced a single day that left me in pure joy. The funny thing is I know the reason behind my feelings of sadness, want me to indulge you? I don’t see why not, sharing is said to be caring after all.

Let me start by pointing out the fact that I am not a fan of people with self-pity, why am I telling you this? You might ask. Well the lack of my jingle bells days have got everything to do with the pity I have come to have for oneself. I’ve joined the “the pity-club”, believe me when I say it exists. I even learned a lesson after joining the club, and that is to never judge people until I have actually walked a distance in their shoes. With that said, here is to the reasons for my sadness!

My pity parties have everything to do with the fact that my future is unknown. I have recently completed studying for my National Diploma in Journalism and have been filling in job seeking applications prior to my study completion and I haven’t received any feedback thus far. I bet you thinking my situation is nothing compared to anything that you’ve one or still going through but hey this is about me. I have never had to worry about something that’s beyond my control before so grant me this privilege.

We further our studies in hope for a better tomorrow and we tend to break down emotionally when it doesn’t come on the time its needed most. Ask any other university graduate waiting for that breakthrough call which will leave them employed. It is said that patience is a virtue but it really is not one of my strong points right now. I think I won’t be able to enjoy a single day from here on, not until I get that phone call asking me to come to a job interview or telling me that I should report for duty.  Thank you for reading.

My personal view

MY PERSONAL VIEW ON RELATIONSHIPS

NOT ONLY AM I REFERING TO THE DATING KIND OF RELATIONSHIP

A relationship is the way in which two or more things are connected and behave towards each other.

A relationship is a partnership but it is always good to remember that one is an individual before being that partner, sister or friend.

Individualism grants a person the quality of being different from other people and making decisions that leave one satisfied.

Yes! I know relationships are about compromises but, don’t you think that compromising too much leads to failure?  

Reality is…….Relationships and friendships are not forever, count the number of exes (and friends you used to hang with) in your life and reminisce a bit…..did you think you’re your relation you had would end?

I do not think so!!!!!!!!

What about relationships with family members?

You’ve heard the saying “you can choose your friends but you can never choose your family”

Truth is you are stuck with your family for the rest of your or their lives.

Family is part of who we are as individuals, so MAKE IT WORK no matter how hard it may be!

Am I saying a relationship between friends and partners is not as important?

YES and NO

You might think engaging in a relationship with an open mind which reminds you that it is bound to end like the previous ones you’ve had before is wrong

OR

Hanging with friends but keeping in mind the fact that you possibly won’t be in touch with in the next…..say two years because it is said that “friends come and go”

Topography or growth changes people.

I might sound emotionless but this is just reality.

A relationship should work for both parties (individuals involved in it), no one should under any circumstances feel compromised.

There are people who stay in relations that are definitely not working out because they have invested many years in them, BUT if it goes horribly wrong after 100 why waste another 10 fixing it. Might as well invest elsewhere!!!!

Easier said than done?

Obviously!!!!!!!!!!!!!

But life goes on and so should you.

I repeat……………. Relationships are not forever, leave that little room for disappointments and when it ends then you just MOVE ON!!!!!!!!!!!

You are bound to make friends who you love but change separates you, what do you do?

Make new ones and learn to love them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT!

This right here is my PERSONAL view.

So long……………..
