Children of the REVOLUTION

SO. Starting a movement is not just another bite in the old avo. No, sir.
There are many steps to starting a movement.

• Realizing you have the POWER to change something in this world.


• Brewing up the PASSION to address the changes you want to make.


• Building up the COURAGE to decide to make it a reality.


• Nuturing the HOPE which will fuel your passion.


• INSPIRING others to support your movement.

Corin Nemec once said, "Never let life impede on your ability to manifest your dreams. Dig deeper into your dreams and deeper into yourself and believe that anything is possible, and make it happen"

Starting a revolution is not about gathering the largest amount of follows, and creating a major stir in society; it is about starting with yourself, leading by example and naturally, people will follow. A revolution is when YOU decide to initiate something that will impact other peoples' lives. It does not have an age restriction---a revolution does not wait for those who first need to 'grow-up'. The youth have the most power but the least authority; even so, this fact should not affect those who attain Power, Passion, Courage, Hope and Inspiration.

I have started a movement in the hope of uniting the youth of South Africa to address issues our country and continent is facing. I hope the youth will realize the ability they have to impact someone else's life, positively. It is called "The Power of ONE movement"

Let's change the world while we still can.

THE POWER OF ONE.

"One person may not radically change the world, but if a million one persons tried to, the world would inevitably be changed radically." -- Kiara

My generation is seen to be 'apathetic' and 'lethargic'.
Can you blame us? No, not really.

However, it is our duty to accept we have been exposed to an apathetic way of life, and then re-define our way of life.

This sounds very cliche, but it is very true--we ARE the future. really. when all the 'adults' aren't here anymore, we have to take over. The Jacob Zumas and Malemas aren't going to be around forever, so whose going to run this country? well, us.
Some people find this a very scary thought to process, because they consider our generation in terms of: the latest drug statistics, teenage pregnancy rates, highest drop-out rates....and list really does go on.

BUT, then there is us.
WE are the youth of change, the youth of prosperity, the youth of sustenance.
WE CARE. we are re-defining the 'apathetic' mindstream of our generation. one-by-one.
we realize we can't change the circumstances of the world, but we can change the world.

we.are.activists.

[today i realized what i want to do when i grow older--i want to be an activist.]

i realize i am one person. but i also realize that the power of one person has the magnitude to
affect a million other people; inevitably changing this world.

"So, to all the sceptics, we've spent a week with the future of South Africa--- and if it's any indication-- we'd like to say that the future looks just fine."
--Kingsley Kipury & Simbarashe Sibanda (enke facilitators)

liquorice :)

liquorice ALLSORTS :)

i love peeling them apart

and eating the different colourful layers

before the liquorice.

i had a little packet of them in my pencilcase today

---ate them through all my lessons :D

i like the blob shaped ones,

with little bead-like things stuck all over them

---the bead-like things crunch between my teeth.

yum.

i think the Allsorts man is pretty cool.

with his liquorice arms and blob ears:)

*FOOD.food.FOOD*

Yes, indeed, it's about time i talked about food.

PASTA is the only food i am capable of making
[or rather, enjoy making]

but i absolutely LOVEEE asian food -- from Simply Asia (best restuarant ever) I actually really enjoy eating with chopsticks---i used to fail at eating with chopsticks until i was forced to eat with them whenever i went out for sushi [ANOTHER FAVOURITE food :) ] and when i went to yeji's house. however, yeji's family eats with METAL chopsticks--i still have not mastered gripping food with metal 0_O

okay moving up the coast--> i love PRAWNS and MUSSELS! drizzled in garlic butter :D

i think Ocean Basket and Cape Town Fish Market is the best place for this (as far as i know).

hmmm...i wont deny it--i was recently introduced to SUBZ by my airport buddies in Jozi, and i must say---THEY ARE DELICIOUS! i have only tried the steak & cheese with honey & mustard sauce, but i will try out a new one the next time i go to SubWay or Subz.

okay--going back to Italy, i have to say Primi is riiiight up there with my favourites---the RECCO PASTA is so so yummmy :)

actually, everything from Primi is delish!

Indian food is (naturally) a favourite---i love my gran's curry and roti :):) she has this distinct granny flavour to her foods that no-one else (no matter how hard they try) can repeat. The SWEET*MEATS are just kind of heavenly, but of course i only get to eat them once a year on Diwali.

ciabbatta.garlic bread.chocolate cake.koeksisters.
accompanied with vanilla latte.mocha choca.
is a great way to end off the day.

with a happy tummy.

Earthly Hours

okay.
alright.

i have finished hibernating and will fully devote myself to constant blogging.
[even if it is of the randomist rubble]

yes, my dear friend yeji has inspired me to continue blogging.
so here I am, continuing to blog.

i think this can be my online 'diary'---a place to store all the events and memories that would inevitability get lost otherwise.

so please-by ALL MEANS---run away now if you do not wish to delve into the life of Miss Paisley Dott :)
