PIC OF THE WEEK

Celebrate YOUTH day!
In South Africa this day is to celebrate our youth, our future and our country. The freedom that has been fought by all, but this day especially for the YOUTH of South Africa that sacrifices more than 30 years ago for every youth in South Africa to have a voice and rights.
History Lesson of youth day: When high-school students in Soweto started protesting for better education on 16 June 1976, police responded with teargas and live bullets. It is commemorated today by a South African national holiday, Youth day, which honors all the young people who lost their lives in the struggle against Apartheid and Bantu Education.

Confederation Cup
The Confed Cup has kicked off less than 24 hours ago and we are in the swing of things. Do yourself and try and get a ticket for at least one game! It is something magical to watch a live game.
I am ready for the Semi-finals next week and look forward to the road trip to Bloemfontein to see hopefully SPAIN!

SMS Bundles
Great day of saving money to sms – you will pay as little as 25c for a sms.
Not bad considering one almost pays R1 during normal hours.

Start a Diary
I am so lazy with this one, but have been thinking I should really keep up with it.
I used to write a diary almost every day from the age of about 10 years old, it always so funny to read what I wrote back in the day. So get starting, it does not have to be detailed, but can be used to capture memories for times when you have forgotten them.

Budget and start saving
YES YES YES – Recession recession recession
I have been hearing this non-stop since last year.
So what can one do? Check the net for advice as I see there are daily news article on advice for saving and budgeting.
Budgeting is key to see if you have enough to spend on and where you can possible cut back on.
I have done it and finally after so many years can finally SAVE properly!

BE THANKFUL
Got this email last week talking about being thankful.
You will never ever complain again about eating veggies or studying or having an old car.
There are people who have NOTHING – Absolutely nothing in this world!
I have just been told some bad news, that I might not have a job in a few months time… and guess what I am thankful for what I have.
I will survive, I will be able to get through this, I will be able to find something else… I AM THANKFULL!
