We love Music

Anyone who truly knows me (and i mean truly knows me) will tell you that my life without Music would be all but a waste.

Every genre seems to have one or more tracks that really do it for me.They are days when i want to pray and my spirit is down but soon as i put my earphones in play some Hill song all my sorrows seem to disappear.

Almost every song i have has an emotion and a memory tied to,which is why i rarely go with the masses when it comes to going crazy over songs ,i like to attach a memory to a song though some songs just Hit you when they come out.

 Below is just a list of timeless classics that have have stayed close to my heart and will always do because well, I Love Music

1. Phil Collins-Groovy kind of love
2. Phil Collins-Easy lover
3. Az Yet-Inseparable lovers( This song just does it)
4. Hillsong United(God he reigns)
5. Bon Jovi -Livin' on a prayer
6. Bon Jovi-Its My Life
7. Ace of Base-The sign
8. Tevin Campbell-Can we talk
9. Tevin Campbell-Im ready 
10. UB40-Red Red Wine
11. Immture- Extra Extra
12. All American Rejects-Move Along
13.  Pink-Most Girls

Misheard Lyrics Part 2

Music makes the world go round and is a universal language but then all we have that one friend(maybe its you) on  a  night out a song comes on and they start belting out the Lyrics and they are definitely not the corrects but they already in their zone.

Its so funny to watch and hear but then you start to think,What are the actual words ?

With that in mind here  are some of my   ridiculously funny misheard lyrics   

• Next -Too Close

Misheard Lyric: Baby when your crying i get so excited(at some point this made sense)
Actual Lyric:Baby when your grinding ,i get so excited(Makes perfect sense lol)

• Ginuwine- Pony

Misheard Lyric :If your lonely,let ride it my pony(Naive child i was)

Actual Lyric: If your horny ,lets do it ,Ride it my Pony

• Tevin Campbell- Can we talk

Misheard lyric:And just like a baby you were to shy( i went with this for years)

Actual Lyric: And just like a Roni you were to shy 

• UB40

I wont even attempt writing  what i heard and still continue to hear  because each time i seem to hear something new(Hope I am  not the only one).

• Micheal Jackson (The King of Pop)

Well what can i say love him so much but some song i just mumble the words and act cool about it. 

I honestly think that 40% of the songs i think i know,i might not know them as well i would like ,but oh well that wont stop me from singing in the shower (ha-Ha) but  I'm sure my family  would appreciate some peace (Haha)

Festive Movies

 The festive season would not be complete for my family and i if we don't get to watch  the below movies.This wasn't intentionally done ,but over the years we realised we that  always seem to watch these movies over the holidays,even if we are in different parts of the world our hearts are always in tune

1. Home  Alone 
2. Home Alone :Lost in Paris
3. Home Alone 3(Can never get enough)
4. Love Actually(Have watched it close to 50 times and still cant get enough)
5. The holiday 

Every family has it won traditions and i have found out that TV unifies us,we might have different taste in music,food and fashion but when it comes to seating down and watching a good movie ,we always agree on that and this makes up The Dube Christmas Tradition and i wouldn't change it for anything(Maybe a holiday in Rome Ha-Ha)

So as this Christmas draws closer i look forward to having a fun filled holiday.The year has had it's ups and Downs but with the dawning of a new day is hope renewed and Christmas is just the right time to fuel up, for The Best Is Yet To Come.

New Age Texting

With the coming of the dawn comes a new era and i must say though i appreciate texting  the amount of shorting words that is now going round is just too much (Maybe I'm getting old) but i highly doubt it.


These days people don't even bother to text properly ,and it just seems to be getting worse .
Acronyms have always been an integral part of computer culture,and they have since spawned a new language.Commonly thought of a series of letters that make up a "word"  but there is a very big difference between acronyms and shorthand.

Words like ASAP (As soon as Possible) are examples of what an acronyms actually are, not some the things i have seen.

Below are  just some of the MOST Annoying!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!(totally hate them ) Conversation starters,Mostly from guys(Major Turnoff)

1. WUD( What you doing) like seriously how lazy are you to text 
2. HUD(how you doing)
3. LIB(laying in bed)
4. RN(Right Now)
5. Sup( Whats up) This just annoys me
6. IDK( I don't know
7. Now this on freaking irritates me to the core(HBD) Happy Birthday ( Like seriously WTF) if your going to wish me Happy Birthday in this manner Please don't. 

In my option if your too lazy to text please just stick to calling because after a long day at work dealing with more pressing issues  i seriously don't want to spend my night your decoding   texts 

Just Do It!!

It truly is a wonderful life ,the complexities and trials we face each day make the fight all worth while.

You can not be effectively  freed from a crisis or situation if you simultaneously use it as an excuse .

When you are presented with an opportunity to elevate /grow yourself don't think of  start of by thinking of what you cant do ,or think of how you will fail ,rather think of what you will learn from it and how best you can use it to get further to your goals.

 Your circumstances or crisis shouldn't be a reason (excuse) to under perform ,rather it should be the driving force to push through and conquer.

I have been presented with a new opportunity and with all that is within i plan to enjoy it and learn ,but above all i am truly grateful 

Face the facts but don't be deterred.Have a defiant spirit ,lift up head,open your eyes,trust and obey God.

Endless Possibilities await you. 

You get what you want by doing what it takes

Spring Walk Jacaranda FM/ Discovery Vitality

This afternoon I went with my Sister and fitness blogger to a media brunch meeting for the Jacaranda FM's Spring Walk in Pretoria at African Pride Cafe. One of the main sponsors of the event Discovery Vitality has created a new healthy  food App which will help us choose healthier choices when it come to buying food.

The HealthyFood Switch Mobile App gives you the option to pick the healthier choice and also educating  you on the nutritional value of your food choice.

The app works when you scan the bar-code of the product of your choice and it will instantly tell you if that is the healthiest option and if not it will give you the healthier options to choose from.

The healthy Food Switch Mobile App is available for you to download for free on SA Istore and google play and will be on Istore very soon So be sure to get it and always choose the healthier option for you and your loved ones.

EMOTIONS

We try so hard to convince ourselves that we have our Emotions  in check but at times that's not the case. I've come to realize that being stuck in an emotions prison is the worst feeling ever. That moment when you still have strong  feelings for  someone and you try so hard to convince yourself that things will get back to were they were that's when you realise that your stuck and if you don't free your self you will miss out on the good things life has to offer. For months I was a prisoner of my own emotions and  finally I saw  the light.

No matter how much you to try and convince someone that you're the one for them if they do not  agree with you, your best years will be spent trying to be someone you're not so you can please them. The best way to escape this emotional  prison is to love yourself enough to know when to walk away. I plan to enjoy life with those that appreciate me for who I am and to open myself up to allow love to come in.

Thembi's Etiquette Corner Part 1

In this first  part I  will  share  with  you the basic  manners  of Etiquette that  we all  should learn to live  by. Following or using these quick tips  will help when  you  are  in situations that  you  are  not  so  sure  with .Outlined below are protocols that will help to refine the social graces and improve the impression that others have of you.

Basic  Politeness. 
Showing politeness is not difficult. It is simple to say "please", "thank you", "you are welcome", and "excuse me". These phrases show that a person is considerate of others. Even if someone is rude, and not your favourite person it is better to be polite to them rather than sinking  to their level.
