A TASTE OF WEEK 36,2010

Ms. CHERRi BOMPi

Feeling quite good about life and the newness that springs brings, floating about in its abundance. Loving the sun that’s beaming down on Cape Town (well, except for today) There’s just something about a beautiful day that’s infectious (making everything that surrounds you beautiful).

Had a fruitful weekend bonding with my cousin, from my paternal side of the fam. Went playing in the sun, and drinking what Jesus turned to water (he knew exactly what he was doing:)). Love meeting new people and my eye candy is a lil’ 8month old who literally stole my heart (FYI:I am not a paedophile nor am I feeling broody, but the eye candy consists of anything that emotionally moves me in awe of its beauty, and I mean ANYTHING.)

I have turned over a new leaf, embracing the changes that are coming my way and loving every bitter and sweet moment that it’s bringing.

                

Tried by all means to take a pic of this cute nunu, but this is all i could get. Karima, 8months.Her eyes are way to loving to be captured on camera...lol!True diva in the making....

Ms. RAZZ’BERRi

My week started off with on a very high blood pressure note but eased into goodness as the week progressed. Met some really interesting, fun and crazy people...reunited with some old friends with whom I witnessed some "Cheaters" type confrontations live-hilarious...kicked some 30 Seconds ass(as per usual-yaaawn, can I please get some real competition)...went to LEVI'S DIVAS ROCK which was good but could have been better had certain factors been taken into consideration, but it was also an educational experience (of which I will disclose next week)...and all these times were in enjoyed with either a beer or Woolies Longmarket Sauvignon Blanc in hand.

QUEST VICTIM #2: Woolworths Longmarket Sauvignon Blanc(Robertson Winery)

This sauvignon blanc is quite light on the tongue, with quite a crisp green peppery flavour about it. As you sip on you pick on slight twang of acidity but fear not, as it doesn’t effect its drink-ability. It’s not a heavy tax on the pocket and is great in the build for night time activities (I mean party times by the way)...Oh and no hangover strings attached!-and we ALL love that, don’t we?

Unfortunately I have no picture this week but it’s quite easy to spot in the wine isle.

As mentioned ,spring is finally here...or so it would seem for the rest of the country except CPT. An all time favourite time of the year for many, as winter clothing is packed/given away, short shorts are about the streets, sundowner happy hours are rife but most importantly it marks some sort of new beginning. It's a time to let go of the old, and to usher in the new...mentally,physically(yeah, we've seen some of you joggin and shiee) and most importantlyspiritually/emotionally.

More often than not letting go is a tough business. Speaking from experience in collecting memoirs everywhere that we have adventured to (even if its a club/pub) and having to sift through the important memories and the not so important memories, this also pertaining very much to the matters of the heart…sigh!. In all it’s bleakness learning to let go is imperative so that room for new, greater and more heart-warming moments can be made.

"Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. It is the bitter potion by which the physician within you heals your sick self. Therefore trust the physician, and drink his remedy in silence and tranquility”- Kahil Gibran…some of you many know recognize this from the Boondocks.

With that quote being said, it is felt that letting go is all good, as the end is never the end-especially if you feel it in your pulse(Must give thanks to that). Having your heart drenched, broken, emendable are all the good emotions that you learn from. It’s truly up to you to gain the lessons learnt from failure. be it work, family, relationship with friends or intimate relationships.

Learn to love truly YOUrself, grow into your skin and respect all that is YOU. Until you feel that fulfillment of yourself, only then will the love you give be pure (hope that even if you've heard this before and its starting to sound like a chant, please let it be).

There aren't any guarantees in life, and you can’t always blame other people for everything that goes wrong. When you do get hurt, hold no qualms to it and learn the lesson that extends beyond what happened. "Mistakes are portals of discovery", that will ultimately make you a bigger, better person that will lead you to greater things, IF you use them wisely!

As the weather transcends from dull, wet weather to the lovely sun that warms us and brings fresh, new things to life, there is hope that all find some healing or moment of clarity as we embark on the journey this new season brings. Especially to the lovely ladies who settle, and see no other way to the road to true love.

Think of it like Ms. Simone…

“IT'S A NEW DAWN, IT'S A NEW DAY, IT'S A NEW LIFE FOR ME"...

 EAR FLAVOUR OF THE WEEK

Ms. CHERRiE:Keep Looking -Sade, stronger than pride. I love this song, every time I listen to it, I smile. It’s my mood lifter and what I hope is going to be my constant mood for the week. Sade, a timeless group that has Pulitzer prizes for its lyrical content, and the greatest melodies to match, makes you understand why it takes hiatises from the music industry. They're music is all that is life, pure, sensual, lovingly warm (thanks to Sade’s voice). Love this song, and hope it makes your day too when listening to it.

Sade-Stronger Than Pride

Ms. RAZZ’B:My flavour of the week was a hard on to pick out as I found myself listening to a vast range music among them were Writers Block from back in the day, Amerie,Mos Def etc.etc. but most listened to was Andre 3000's Love Below. Love the range of music he played around with on this album, blending jazz with drum n bass in one song, getting soulful on another...it's a crazy fun album that is in league of its own and brings the fun back to music....
