the little things.
I love it when it rains—it means God is close. It’s like pennies from heaven. Rain is heavenly. makes all things beautiful—flowers, fruits, food, grass, the trees, wash dirt, water at my window pane. The simple little things people often complain about and dismiss are what makes this world so beautiful. Thank You God, for the rain.

Too good not to share.
I very much enjoy my Global Issues class. My prof’s interest about this class makes me look forward to lectures every Tuesday and Thursday so it’s no wonder I pay rapt attention in class. I’ve been noticing that he repeats word for word everything that he had said in the previous lecture but i thought i was delusional so i let it slide. Well, today this man was recapping the...

Theme songs..
I always have theme songs for every situation and people. I have a theme song for the girls down the hall who are always drunk and giggle annoyingly whenever they r around guys( pink’s ‘stupid girls’). In class when teachers misprounounce my name(AMARRR instead of AMA) i start singing ‘that’s not my name!’ by the tintins. When it’s raining and i’m...

Rooibos Tea 101 →

peopleofthesouth:
What is rooibos tea?
Rooibos tea is made from the leaves of the Aspalathus Linearis (or “red bush”) plant, which grows only in the small Cederberg region of South Africa. Because it does not derive from the Camillia sinensis plant (like black, white, green or oolong teas), rooibos tea is considered more of an herbal drink or tisane than a “true” tea.

Today is the day,
we all need to exercise some restraints and know our limits, especially me. I have been a glutton these past couple of days. Thanksgiving does that to me. Happy Turkey day y’all. Gobble Gobble!
Not today, no.
I think either my personal pep talks are really working or I have become super emotionally strong. most times, I think it’s the God in me. I’ve faced a few disappointments recently and I have handled them pretty well. In the past, i would fuss and picture all kinds of scenarios. These days dier, I just look at my problems and emotions and tell them “you picked the wrong woman...
Lol I'm so over everything.

on natural hair
I chopped off my relaxed hair around Easter break to everyone’s dismay. When I tell people i want to do something and they call me on my bluff, I do it on a whim(to give some sort of shock factor). I braided it over the summer and again before the semester begun. the braids are now out and i twisted it with shea-moisture curling souffle. I adore my natural hair but it was frustrating dealing...

Dear God,

I love you more than anything and everything. Remove any person or influence in my life that is preventing me to get close to you, because there’s no pleasure or desire on this Earth that is richer than you love.

hiking in the concrete jungle..
I was raised in the city but at heart, I’m a country, village girl. I love trees, mountains, birds chirping, walking barefoot,the smell of decaying leaves,dirt and dressing in comfort. Just like a village girl, everytime i’m in the city, I’m like a fat kid with a cake. I get so mesmerized by the city city lights and the mass crowds.
I get especially excited when I go to...
You want a guy's perspective? Ask your Dad.
Me: Dad, how can I be sure if a guy really likes me or not?
Dad: If a guy really likes you, he would do whatever it takes to be yours. You see, there are two kinds of "being interested". One is, when a guy likes you but has his heart open to other girls. This is the kind that isn't so serious about being serious. The other kind of "being interested" is the kind that I want a guy to be interested in you. This is the kind whose eyes are set on you, and only you. No other girls. The one that sends you those long text messages on how much he means to you, gives you goodmorning and goodnight calls telling you to have a good day and to have sweet dreams. If a guy really wants to you to be his, he wouldn't be ashamed to introduce you his friends and even better, his family. I would want you to have a guy that when he looks into my daughter's eyes, he feels like he doesn't belong anywhere else but your heart.

The Twi in Twitter
A classmate of mine asked me what language I spoke and i told him Twi. He paused and thought about it for a second .
Him: “wait, so you guys invented Twi-tter? What does twitter mean in your language?”
Me: I don’t speak twi-tter. I speak Twi. We didn’t invent twitter. I don’t know what twitter means.
Him: R u sure? you should probably look into it.
