Lana Del Rey for Pablo Del Pey!

Lana Del Rey - Video Games

I first heard Lana Del Rey on Trace tv with her song "Video Games". I was with my boyfriend at that time and for a moment that song changed the mood in the house. The melody created a nostalgic effect and all we could do was wonder who she was. Her unique style and seductive voice took our imaginations to video games...we both realised the beauty of video.  I then concluded, "Certain moments are meant to be caputred hey!"

I admire Lana's vintage style, her nails are to die for, her hair is always beauty queen styled and oh she is so seductive. I guess a little bit of seductiveness can have an effect in one's confidence. I chose to follow her because she is just unique! I listen to her songs and i'm like, "How does she come up with all these words." She is the kind that take me back to the times when class was on its peak!

I love Lana Del Rey...I'll have to call myself Pablo Del Pey!

A Kagiso love story

A kiss in the night is all right!

Once upon a time in Kagiso, there was a Prince named Kgololosego. Kgolo was a student at Vaal University and Trainee at Sasol. He was an ambitious young man looking for love.

Drinks at Liquidchefs

One day, while talking to his friend Oupa, Kgolo saw a brown-eyed Princess passing by. “Iyo your eyes!” he said in fascination. Feeling a funny fever rush through his blood, he paused for a moment admiring what he had just witnessed. He had never seen such beauty! Giving a wry smile pretending to have not heard that, she thought, “Can’t he see that they are contact lenses?”

Looking at her crossing the road, Kgolo asked, “Oupa, do you know her?”

Knowing that Kgolo possessed a fussy character Oupa answered, “Yes, we go to the same school. She is quite sweet.”

 “Then I have to get her,” he said in excitement, running after her. “Please wait for me!” he shouted.

She hesitated a bit but eventually waited. He looked like the kind of guy who just wanted play and nothing serious. That is not what she was looking for. She wanted a long term relationship, a fairytale kind of relationship, although that doesn’t exist in the real world. All she asked from God was man who would love, respect and be loyal to her.

Extending his hand towards her, he said, “Hi. My name is Nkululeko, what’s your name?” Having a conversation with her inquisitive mind she thought, “Nkululeko with a Tswana accent, please! I wonder if this is his real name or if he’s trying to score a point with a Zulu name.”

Also extending her hand with a tissue, looking him into his eyes she said, “Hi, My name is Paballo.” Noticing that he didn’t drop his eyes, she dropped hers instead with a bit of a smile. Without wasting anytime, he asked for her numbers but she said she didn’t have a phone. After a few minutes of probing, she eventually gave him the numbers.

To be continued...

I vow under oath that my life will change

Life has taught me two things; either we follow that of the world which will give us good times, memorable experiences and a huge possibility of turning its back on us when we least expect it to. Or, we can follow that of God’s path, which promises eternal life. The book of 1 John 2: 24-25 says, “Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father. And this is the promise that He has promised us—eternal life.” However, God doesn’t promise a smooth ride. Challenges will come and through our faith in him, all will end well.

I have been emotionally and psychologically challenged for the past months. I am on the verge of finding myself in life and what I need to do to get there. I feel like something is pulliing me back and I need to figure out what it is. I pray every moment I get but I have realised that praying without reverence can sometimes not bring the results we expect at that point in time. I started reading the bible again, I don’t know why I stopped but I am back at it. I have made a vow to read it every day because that is where the truth lies. I will focus on the book of Proverbs because it is all about wisdom, something that I need now. As someone who feels lost in the world, I feel like the book will open an island of thought where what I do is based on the wisdom I receive.

In life we chose what we think applies to us and I chose to follow the Christian teachings. I am not perfect and I have done some bad things, made bad decisions, some of them are unimaginable but I can’t punish myself for them. I can never repeat those mistakes but learn from them. The two paths in life determine what we’ll get later in life. I might not make sense now but this will be stored in archives and I can look back and testify that I have really maintained my choice of living.

“I Paballo Seipei, vow that I become a child of God who does everything by the Bible. I acknowledge the temptations that come with the world and take this moment to abide by the Bible and its teaching.”

I love me for my Bokamoso! He is the future...

My Birthday!

Oh, isn't she cute? Looking like a little boy lol.
I think i was a year and something months

So I am a November baby, which means I was made with love. I was conceived in February, the month of love and I am certain that Valentine’s Day was the day when a seed (me) was planted in my mother's womb.

My mother’s first born baby passed away, she was a premature and there were complications. She then waited quite some time before she could have me. I'd like to think that I am a blessing. I came at a time when they (my parents) were not expecting me. My mother had fear of having a baby since that tragedy. She was severely sick during that time and having a baby would either kill her or the baby.

My parents on their wedding day! Sorry couldn't rotate
 

When I was conceived, it was a moment of disbelieve for both of them. They wanted a baby but death was a wall that blocked them from having one.

 

So, they kept quiet about it until it was no longer something to hide. My mother was very sick throughout the whole pregnancy but trusted in the supernatural power for her and my wellbeing. The 29th of November came, this day 22 years ago. The strong woman gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and she called her Paballo. Paballo means protection. According to her, she gave me the name due to the fact that God protected both us from death. I love my name. I actually thought I was the only one in the world who had it but No!

   Ok, i didn't rotate this one. Sorry about that. This was my 6th
Birthday.
I remember it like it was yesterday!
 

 

Family of mine on my Christening Day!

Mama and I! 1st graduation

 My mother is the sweetest person I know and I have inherited that side of her. She is a God fearing woman, something that I have learned from her. I am thankful for her teachings for they have made me the woman I am today. I appreciate life today because of her.

 

A lot of people don’t know this. My biological father died when I was nine years old. The memories I have of him are blissful. He then came back in a form of another father, Pawe! I love Pawe, he has been there for most of my life. He treats me like his and I know God gave him to us because he fits well into our jigsaw puzzle.

Speaking of a puzzle, I am surrounded by love and on this day, I realise how special I am to everyone. As we grow, there is so much we learn from other people.  I have learned so much from different people.  Even random talks in a taxi ride or a shopping mall make an impact. The people I am surrounded with shape who I am. I have been blessed with a family that loves me for who I am and that has made me become comfortable with everything I do.

 

The pictures I shared are a journey of my life from being a toddler to a young adult.  I am getting better not older, like fine wine I mature with time. Happy Birth Day to me!

Story of my graduation, just expressing how happy i am for this day. Enjoy!

Thanks Giving!

Today I started fasting! This is the time I chose to thank God for being awesome! It has been a year of lessons, growth and establishment. I have had my fair share of ups and downs but have achieved a lot more than I thought I could. Therefore, I take this opportunity to say Thank you God for keeping me this far.

 
Most of the things that I asked from God have been fulfilled. I have managed to keep my job. Graduated! Confirmed my baptism and baptised my son. The list is endless but I fast for the following things in my life:

 

Spiritual Wellbeing


Day of Confirmation. We lit a candle of faith.

I have grown spiritually but still seek refuge in the Kingdom of God. I regard myself a student in this endeavour.

I want to reach a point where I breathe, eat, sleep and live the word of God. I thank Him for giving me strength to go back to church and seek Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour.  This spiritual wellbeing wouldn’t have happened if it wasn’t for His answer to my prayers.

 

  

Bokamoso



Bokamoso in his swim wear!

Very good with causing scenes

The new life in the house! My son is the happiest person I know. I prayed for him before he was conceived, prayed for him while he was in my belly and I pray for him every day. He is the best thing that has happened in my life. Glory be to God for him!

 

 

 

 

Family

We all come from a group of people, who trap us in mixed emotions, they make us laugh, mad, happy and crazy! But we love them anyway. I have been blessed with a family that loves one another even in bad times. They are the best and for that I am grateful! I thank God for my parents, who love my son more than me (rolling eyes)! They have played a role that I never imagined they could. Malizo,Lebo, Gift, Hlogi are the closest family members I have. We have had good and bad times together and for that our love is strong. This love we have is God!



Big family and friends.

 

My significant other

This sugar of mine (Kgololosego Phiri) has been there from my high school days. We have five years dating, been blessed with a son and strive to stay together. I always pray for him as my lover, friend, and father of my baby.

I know there’s no perfect couple and I always pray to God that we don’t get tempted by the things that come with the world. We have our ups and downs but we manage to work things out. It has  been a bittersweet journey and I thank God for coming this far with him! May he bless us with many more.

 

Work

My job has been another journey on its own. I would like to think that I prayed for it more than I prayed for anything else this year. It is because of this job we don’t go hungry at home. I believe God placed me here for a reason. I have grown in my career and sustained where I could. Thank you God for this job!

 

Friends

My friends and I are not as crazy and close as we wanted to be due to our busy schedules. We have reached a stage where we take things seriously. We pray together, laugh together and spend time with each other whenever we can. The conversations are different and more mature. God brought us together to help each other and I pray that we don’t end in the middle of nowhere. I am with them through Christ, therefore our friendship is protected.Thank you God for them!
