News that caught my eyes

This week I started exams and obviously I did everything else possible instead of study and prepare for exams. Even watched the news. And I know that la ekhaya we LURVE summaries so I decided to do a weekly news headlines summary of what I found interesting.

There is a group of businessmen offering to pay off President Jacob Zuma's Nkandla upgrade money. How generous.. But mina ke I have a slight problem. Why are they trying to pay off another man's debt? I want to know also where these men's side chicks are? Don't their side chicks have edgars account to be paid off while these daddies are running around trying to bail a grown man out in cash? Durban girls are slacking in this money extortion thing shem, I can't deal!

From the Troll desk

Jub Jub's murder conviction has now been reduced to a culpible homicide sentence and instead of the initial 20years of the original sentence, he will now only serve 8. People are not happy about this. lots of theories are doing the rounds as to why the sentence was reduced. One popular opinion being that it is so that the storm in a tea cup about Oscar not being found guilty of murder can calm down.

Shrien Dewani is in court; finally; for the murder of his new bride while they were on honeymoon in cape town. It is said that he organised the hit himself and tried to make it look like it was a hijacking. What interests me most about this is it took a long time for him to come to RSA due to that he was claiming mental illness. Now not only is he fit to stand trial, he is gonna take the stand himself..... what a miracle!! he is healed!

And, do you guys remember the lady who accused Vavi of rape? Well, she wants R4m in compensation. by no means am I trying to downplay the seriousness of rape kodwa how does this work? you rape me and then pay? is it like a business transaction? and how did she reach a conclusion that she wants money over justice for the rape? hayyyy siya sebenza egoli!!!

Now that we all know a bit of what is trending in the newsroom, let's trollpic our boobs and bums kiiiiiiiiii

Troll Rants : Partners Bad Habits

Lately I have to keep myself from wringing my partner's neck. I just don't get it.Why the hell does he do what he does? I swear men are like babies only they have bigger toys to throw around. I am talking about habits that boo just wont let go of.

1.The first thing that we always argue over is the damned toilet seat and how it always finds its way up. What is wrong wrong with men and leaving the seat  up vhele ? Mcm it grates my tits.

2.Then there is the toothpaste situation , he squeezes it from the middle. Like who does that ,don't their mothers teach them these basic things ?

3.He gets too comfortable . He just wont close the door when he is in the loo doing number 2. To top it all off, he wants to have a conversation in the form of a screaming match........... I am just not handling this well.

4.He always forgets to buy bread. Like he thinks that I'm his bread-buyer. Today I simply just did not make lunch because I am sooo unable to  can to be the bread buyer.

5. His socks never make it to the laundry basket. He freaking leaves them wherever he sees fit. I'm talking under the bed,the bathroom etc.. One day I found a sock tucked in the couch , I feel like I'm being tested.

How the hell did our mothers deal with these creatures and still make it out without murder convictions or am I over reacting???

Inspiration Corner : My Blogging (Trolling) Journey

Gosh I've missed you ladies so much! I've been soooo busy I haven't even had time to catch up on Orgella!The pleasant surprise I got when I found the link to OUR new home! Man we deserve this! La okuzo khala khona isicathulo sethu! (By the way I did mention that I  volunteer to run it when I resign, so nje when advertisers pour in ngicela ama royalties before the charities and bandwidth, qalani ngami nje) anyway this is not about me... I'm writing this to tell you ladies what you are to me and the other silent bloggers.

Reading through the few older posts here at home (Trollsonline) I'm seeing a lot of silent bloggers coming out and saying what an inspiration you ladies are, and I want to share how I came to love you all... I used to see a lot of links about JC on twitter about whatever gossip had been trending in media that week/day but I'd just ignore, then 1 day I decided to open one, read the story and went to comments, had a few laughs and then got to parts where you would have your personal catch ups, and realised that this is your home and you'd all formed relationships, went through the site and saw that it’s a good place to catch up on gossip, at first I would just read for the funny parts where you mock celebrities relating to the articles, but then I got to understand and started to "get to know" all of you then the "attachment" came.

I don't remember the article that initially made me open the link, but what I do remember is that there was a story shared by a guest writer about HIV that was posted at that time , so reading the comments on that post I saw that some of you are married, but are still so "cool" and up to date with celeb gossip, that was very intriguing for me, I was hooked from there onwards, I went on the site everyday thereafter, and started to bond with you ladies.

This all happened in May last year, I was unemployed and had come back home from JHB to re think the life I'd been living there, and got so much inspiration from how educated, smart and clued up on soooo many things, the advice you used to give one another, I specifically remember when you were talking about skin care products, most of the things mentioned I had not even heard of, and I thought "man Scarlett you clearly have not lived", the advice I got from you as a SILENT blogger has been more helpful than what I got from people I know personally. You introduced me to things I never paid attention to, and most importantly changed my view on married women.

I waited for about 4 months for my password, but everyday I'd wake up, switch on lap top and check JC before even checking emails, you ladies made the most depressing part of my life fun, throughout the day I would refresh and laugh... And also be sooo angry at Wicked that I'd want to jump inside my laptop and beat her up! I couldn't wait to get a job so I could buy a car, buy expensive products, shop online (ok I'm still not shopping online, ngyasaba LOL), and go on holidays. When I finally got my password, I was too scared to introduce myself, because I just didn't think I could be one of y'all, I still can't explain it, but me, and I'm sure all the other silent bloggers coming out now, have this picture perfect view of all of you, you have become part of our lives in a HUGE way.

Fast forward to now, when I am the one in my circle who people ask for advice on things, and I have this confidence, and have become such a lady, because I "socialise" with such smart ladies.

I just thought I'd share my experience with you all, and let you know just how much I value you all, and I'm sure a lot of SB's out there agree with me. I just love how we all come from different walks of life but are all the same (crazy and witty) and we can miss each other so badly. I hope we never lose touch with each other, so we can inspire more ladies, nami ngibafundise what I do best, (ukufeba) LOL. 
Phambili nge Trollville!

Troll Rants : Friendships

 I have heard far too many stories of friends who become foes, best friends who turn into strangers and acquaintances who turn into enemies. What puzzles me though is the reason behind these disbanding friendships, one day you're friends the next moment you’re not.

Most woman say it’s the drama that unfolds between friends that usually causes the destruction of the friendship, some say its jealousy whilst others say it’s competing with one another. How does this friendship business really work kanti ? I thought that your friends should be like your second family. They should be your support system when you’re down, your first call of help when you’re in need and your GO TO for everything else in between.

As a person who finds it extremely hard to make friends and even harder to keep them I thought it best to do an introspection, to find out my role in the dissolving of my friendship circles. I realised that I can sometimes be a bad friend, I give up on people easily, and I am the type of person who would write my friends off in a Nano second for doing stupid things.  I am the kind of friend who will stop calling and texting if I feel that my efforts are not being appreciated or at least mirrored.

I know now what my problem is and I am working on it because I value friendship.

What kind of friend are you and what kind of friends do you have?
