Badirile's visit at home.

Contemplating on someone's funeral.

If you get Badirile visiting your house, one thing is for sure....someone has died! Either at your home or somewhere around your neighbourhood. It's not rare to see him as he is a regular at people's funerals. It seems to me like he is fond of funerals. Although he feels sorry for the dead, it gives him some kind of closure to have said goodbye to a dead soul every week.  Ask him who died and be assured to get even the greatest details of the deceased, how it happened, where and when the funeral will be.

He is also a companion to those who go to work every morning at our local taxi rank. He has his own hand bag to make it seem like him too is going to work. He has a funny character and those who know him will tell you how great of a comedian he is. I enjoyed having him around and laughing out at his observations, calling people funny names. lol

Holding that funny conversation. 

It was very nice to find him at home, having young conversations with my sick dad, laying weakly on the couch. My mom was cooking, and he called her "Princess Diana" He says her mannerism is that of a "Princess" I found that cute. The only person he had a clash with was my brother Gift, who was also enjoying fooling around with him. My son on the other hand was just puzzled, with a lot of questions that couldn't come out. I don't think he'd even know where to start, if he were to ask.

Gift nare kgogo e reng? Jesuse!!

It was a bit strange that he chose to come at home but then again  I thought of the warmth and love that resonates in that house and I concluded that he was pulled by the energy. So, since no one died at home. I believe his visit was luck knocking at the door.

I am Paballo Seipei and yesterday we had Badirile as our visitor.

Hat Day at BOSASA

Paballo in the Hat!

It's casual day! BOSASA employees were required to create hats from recycling items. This was something that was taken for granted when the mailer was sent out. Today, one of our colleagues created a beautiful hat that inspired us to get into the mood. We started being creative and i created a straight cap! I like it and i am glad i am participating on another fun thing in BOSASA. Some of the hats remind me of Cat in the Hat, but that's a story for another day!

I am Paballo Seipei and today i am casual!

The hats in the heads!

Paint Day at BOSASA

Paballo Seipei aka Pablo-Picasso

Work does not always have to be serious, it needs a bit of fun, especially when one works in a creative department. We are a marketing department at BOSASA named eKayaMedia. Today we are painting our office walls blue and orange. As the creative group, we only thought it would suit our personalities to have these colours on our walls and  more especially because they fall under BOSASA's brand colours. They also open a door of creativity for us. It is a fun day, more like team building! As our CEO Gavin Watson would say, we are teams2work, teams2create and teams2inspire.

I am Paballo Seipei and today I am a painter!

Deja Vu

If you had an opportunity to change the past what would you change?

I watched Deja Vu last night and I was left with so much joy. Victory if I may claim. I wanted to understand why so many people find it cryptic.  I analysed and finally understood the movie! Boy it felt so great! If felt like I won the lottery. It's quite simple, Deja Vu is a time travel/ sci-fi/ thriller type of movie. The aim of Doug Carlin (the main actor) is to change the future in the past. He wants to save a woman's life and change the terrorist's plan to bomb the ship.

I guess we get the privilege to see these movies to eradicate the wonders of thinking of what 'could've happened' and 'what might happen'. Most of us wish we could change things but know that there are minimal changes of that happening. We have movies like Deja Vu or Next to give us that satisfaction or gratification of 'maybe' being a possibility. We can never change the past nor predict the future although there are people who posses the power to predict the future like Credo Muntwa. Well, as for us who have no powers what-so-ever we can only live by faith because tomorrow is a mystery.

I am Paballo Seipei. I know tomorrow is a mystery but I live hoping that tomorrow comes.

Fifty Shades of Grey

If you haven't read the fifty shades of grey novel then maybe you should before the movie comes out next year, February. I am the biggest fan and I can't hold my excitement! I can't believe it has come to life. It makes my stomach tremble...literally! I fell in love with Mr. Grey and started fantasising about him as soon as I read the book. It is very affectionate, I can't wait to see how intense it will be. If the book has a great effect by just reading it then the movie will make it rain baby! 

What do you see when you look in the mirror?

Often we look in the mirror with one eye, avoiding to spot the things we hate about ourselves.

So, this is my John Legend week and I just want to share my perception of this album and what it says to me. I am truly in love and I can't contain it! I hope I am not over doing it but sharing what might change how we view life and its challenges as women. I came across this video explaining women's issues. We all have issues and dealing with them is the greatest achievement we can get for ourselves.

I just love the message behind it. Self-love, appreciation and courage is all the beauty we'll find in the world. There will always be women who are more prettier, bolder, richer, thinner, thicker, funnier and all the other things we constantly compare ourselves to that bring nothing but pain and discouragement to us. When we look in the mirror we should be able to smile and love the people we see, if not then we should change it if we can. No one will tell you how beautiful you are when you don't tell the person you see in the mirror how beautiful she is.

I am Paballo Seipei and the person I see in the mirror is God's beautiful creation.

The beginning - John Legend

John Legend and I ❤

 I envision this song playing on the night of my honey moon one day. Or maybe the whole album because it sounds like a marriage album. That will be the beginning of a chapter in my life turned into reality. "Last night was the last night you'll ever spend alone." After i get married, i won't spend the night alone again! Promising huh? 👫  Most women dream of marriage and I too fall under that category. "The beginning", is my second love on this John Legend album! It's official I am going to his concert for my Birthday in November, I can't wait to see him again!
I listen to him and his voice makes me want to share my love. If his voice can make an ordinary girl like me feel things, i don't know how his wife copes with him! God bless him and his marriage, may they last till death do them apart!

"It's the beginning of forever
You don't have to go
Sometimes you just know
It's the beginning of forever
It don't have to end
Keep doing it, and doing it again, oh"

I am Paballo Seipei and I love John Legend! ❤
