For a very weird reason that I still don’t know, I slept at Mnqobi’s house yesterday. And before you start thinking that I’m weird because he’s my man and he’s been my man for a good six months now… Mnqobi Khuzwayo still lives with his parents! You read right! He has a back room, yes. A whole bachelor pad that has a bedroom, a bathroom, a TV/dining room and a kitchen. But still, he shares a yard with his parents. Today I’m...
We are preparing to head out to Khanya’s housewarming. I should actually say that it is Khanya’s and Ruri’s housewarming party because Ruri had everything to do with the prep, the decor, the invitations and the theme. But she’s not moving in, so it’s just Khanya’s place. It’s an all-white themed party. Yesterday, Wehweh, Ruri and I went to get our hair done. This salon is a branch of a salon owned by Koena Msomi. I knew she had quite...
Bongani is supposed to arrive today. Wehweh promised to give me the room for the weekend so I can just connect with my man. I’ve even applied for leave at work. As I sit in this very boring lecture, I decide to text him so I see where he is. “Hey babe. I cannot wait for you to get here.” No response. In fact, there’s only one tick. I’ll take it he’s in his flight. Thendo decided to ditch her lessons today because she...
Rena is back in the kingdom, so I’m here at her home sleeping over and catching up with her. We slept late last night just chatting away about her travelling, my relationship with Khanya and the drama with Khanya’s mother… then Reahile arrived extremely FURIOUS. He had come to speak to Aunt Phuthi and Uncle Khotso. He was with my parents when he arrived. So obviously, Rena and I eavesdropped on the conversation. We just do that because the...
This week has been normal. Very normal. Just the way that I like my life. I still live like I was born into royalty and there’s nothing I can do about that. But I attended all my lectures. I came home after lectures, studied, was lazy after studying, ate food - chef-cooked food - but I ate… then I slept. I also haven’t heard from Reahile all week and that was a bonus for me. His approach was very...
So here we are today on a yacht ride in Mathoanapo. Ruri suggested this place for us to go and enjoy ourselves for today. Apparently, her mother gifted her and her man an all expenses paid weekend away to Mathoanapo to just connect. They couldn't really do a lot because they had to leave prematurely. So today, in the spirit of hosting Pat and Yolanda (his girlfriend), we are here. We will be here until late afternoon because this...
Wehweh, Ruri and I are in our last commerce lecture before we go to industry. So how it works is that you'll have your commerce subjects, then you have classes. Industry is education on the industry that you want to operate in. Ruri is in Fashion Design and Merchandising - makes sense because she already has businesses in this space. Wehweh's industry is ICT. My industry is hospitality, specifically focusing on Hotel Keeping and Catering. We sit together in...
I've just walked out of my last lecture of the day. It's 11am. I head to town instead, using a taxi because truly, it's rough. My mom phoned me and told me that they haven't been able to pay the rates and lights as well as the levies of the place. That was usually my job. But I've been struggling too because Luther has officially ghosted me and no longer sends me money. When I told my sister - Zoe...
I'm driving his car to Mathoanapo because my car is smaller and Tholoana Kingdom can have some hectic hills to climb. I told him that I'm kidnapping him for the weekend. I can just tell that curiosity is getting the better of him. But this navigation is probably giving my surprise location away. We've had three stops now to pee and get energy drinks. We are now doing our final stretch in our drive. We should be there soon....
"You know, for someone who has short hair, you spend way too much time on your hair everyday", I tell her. She has routines upon routines for that short popcorn-looking hair of hers. Its nice. The edges are always on point then the popcorn part is where the hair is beginning to lock. But she has it cut every second week so it doesn't grow longer. She's stunning though. The short hair suits her beautifully. I just thought short...
