Hello everyone. I know I had promised to update my day to day activities but unfortunately priorities took over and Post theatre fatigue did not allow me to prosper. I needed to sleep! It's March 9th and I will definitely be listening to Taylor Swift's 22 till 23:59 to reminisce on the passing year. Exactly a year ago on this day - March 9th I was preparing for my Medical Boards that were on my birthday. Honestly; I wasn't too happy with the fact that I wasnt going to spend my day the way I usually do. Anyone that knows me, is well aware of the love I have towards celebrating my birthday. It makes me really happy. I remember loved ones birthdays and Im usually excited more than they are. 22 was the year I got my first pair of correction prescription spectacles. It was the year that I leased my first apartment. It wasn't as adventurous due to school commitments but I must say it was productive. I visited home for the first time since 2014. Just like everyone else, I learnt Alot this year. Yes I lost a few toxic friendships but that's part of life - right? It's now; towards my 23rd year that I have a bit of a clear picture of what I want to do with my life post dental medical school. It's still blurry but what matters most is that I have an idea. It's amazing what a year can teach us. Yesterday was international women's day and this is what I had to say regarding the day" Ke M O S A D I (translateS to: I'm a W O M A N W O M E N's D A Y 2017 happy women's day to myself, my mum and all the amazing women out there. I pray that I continue growing in faith as well as live to be atleast half the woman my mother is. With growth, comes life's lessons; I gently ask you Lord to be the leader that you have always been, to lead me through this path so that I am accepting and appreciative of any challenge that crosses paths with me. I pray that my spiritual self strengths and that I live life to the fullest, that in time Father, a chosen apprentice will join partnership and will be just as appreciative of my feminine qualities and being. I pray that in his being, I shadow him to his successes as he - mine. Prayerful that we bring on to this earth, a family of our own; that in it I take forth more beings to love, care for, groom, and raise together in faith & in light as a WOMAN and man caring for their offspring. I pay for the best things in life father. AMEN🌸" 23 I hope you are amazing. I hope to travel as much as I could this year. To meet new faces, create new friendships and make lifetime memories. I hope I don't repeat the same mistakes. I hope to grow my faith and yearn for Christ each day. 23 I hope I be as simple as ever. I pray that I open my arms to more adventures. 23 please be good to me. Mmabatho is 2 3 🌸

Journey to 23: From 31 days to today, I have been extremely busy with school clerkships. For the last 2 weeks +, Rotations in Peadiactrics and Gynaecology have taken up most of my free time. I have been in and out of theater every single day. I must say i enjoyed every opportunity I was given to operate on and that feeling alone was amazing. 

The adrenaline rush was such a great experience. I underwent each surgical procedure with a very good surgical team. My really good friend - Igal and I underwent experiences of a lifetime. We were filled with so much exhilaration. 

I should thank the surgeons in the departments of Peads and OBS & GYN (Prof Serg and Prof Konstantin ) respectively for allowing us a hands on experience. Thank you.

Its a lazy Sunday, woke up to a beautiful weather outside, still chilly but the sun is out and the birds are singing. Odessa is really beautiful in the spring summer time.  

Listening to my current fav song by Katy Perry ft Skip Marley - chained to the rhythm. (that skip marley verse, his voice..)

Journey to 23 : Its start of the 2nd and final semester of the 2016- 2017 academic year. Im not as excited as i should be but hey it started off on a good and positive note.

 Im on a Maxillofacial Prosthodontics rotation that ends on Monday 13th with a 4 years work curriculum that I ought to base my knowledge on. I’m just so happy that despite trials and tribulations; my school work has been at the forefront and has kept me motivated since i started in 2012.

On a previous post, i mentioned an amazing vocalist by the name of LaFaith, the official music video will be linked on my next post.

This is why you should never, ever get your hopes up. This is why you should see the glass as half empty. So when the whole thing spills, you aren’t as devastated.

I knew I matured when I realized every situation doesn’t need a reaction. Sometimes you just have to leave people to continue to do the lame shit that they do.

Journey to 23

Spent my day indoors undoing the twist box locs I had for about a month and a half.

My hair routine is somewhat different everytime I have to wash. It’s 4B/4C natural hair that I’ve had for about 4 years to date.

Alot of people have always believed that maintaining natural hair is cheaper than permed / relaxed hair. It’s NOT.

On average, I spend close to 100 $ on hair products. My current fave are by Cantu. The shampoo, knot detangler, leave in conditioner. Ohh I also use red pepper oil before shampoo. It helps stimulate the hair roots. Low heat blow dryer to stretch it out a bit and apply a variety of essential oils. Each small section that I have blow dryed is tied into a Bantu knot. I moisturise my hair every 3 days in a week and I’ve been using this method for the last 5 months: 🌸ORS tea tree oil 🌸organic almond oil 🌸organic grapeseed oil 🌸organic coconut oil 🌸 Jojoba oil

Hair deserves happiness too.

Love

Journey to 23: The first photo in my house. Whoop whoop!

This ofcourse was after shooting a clip of a new music video from a former high school colleague. It’s an amazing song with a relatable story about Love.

Big ups to: Faith V. (song will be attached in the next post)

2nd night in my house and it was just too comfortable.. You guys I cannot keep calm.

Spoke to the gentleman that was against my flower emoji the other day. 😂 He was Alot calmer than the other day, and sent him the emoji again; because I can 🌸😂

Anyway it’s always good talking with him.

Let’s just say the last days of 22 have been all about happiness thus far. 2 0 1 7 is my year.

Started with nothing but positivity and good vibes.

Love 🌸

Mmabatho.

34 Days Journey to 23 Attached photo is of myself. 1st photo in my new house. You guys, I cannot keep calm. I love it. The faux fur from: Mandarin Christine. Thank you ladies. (designed for stylish women) It's so comfortable. This was after shooting a video clip for an amazing young songwriter and vocalist. She is absolutely talented. Her voice is breathtaking. The Official video will be linked once it's been released. When she asked me to do this, I was a bit nervous because I didn't know what to do but y'all I did this as If I were in Hollywood.😂 I spoke to the guy that reacted to the cherry 🌸 flower till bedtime and I must say he is just a kid at heart. My journey to 23 has been all about good vibes and positivity. Im a happy child. Love Mmabatho

Journey to 23: Another tiring but productive day for me. Finally moved into the 2 floor loft apartment. Im so happy for me. It's so cosy and welcoming. Im currently thinking of decor for the second floor and the entire house in general. Every girl loves interior design and I happen to amongst the many. I'm so grateful to my family for helping me move out my entire luggage in one-go earlier today. Of course the moving in is a job for another day but I'm glad that this part is over. Semester starts Monday the 6th and I'm just dreading it.. Gosh.. It's going to be a long semester with a week or 2 weeks apart of intense exams. *I can do this* Cheers. Mmabatho 🌸

Journey to 23:

(1st February 2017)

Today was just as busy as yesterday. Slept early morning (Insomnia) !

I had so much going on in my head that I couldnt just close my eyes for 6 hours. I thank God that this week is end of semester and no classes till 6th.

Woke up around 10 AM (missed the big fat worm thanks to insomnia 😢) Nonetheless, my day was very productive. I met up with Kate and Yulia just by the train station and we tracked our way to my apartment. 😂

I swear Odessa has traffic jams 24/7. I recall Kate saying we could take a tram or bus or we could just walk about a kilometre to my new place.

I vividly remember that “blind-girl squad” friend of mine saying we shouldn’t be lazy and track to avoid traffic. At first I was concerned with the distance and if we would make it in time for our 1 PM appointment. -Guys we walked and made it just in time to talk business 😂.

-I tell you those women were never ready for the three musketeers. It was just hilarious. We talked the entire time and it was so much fun.

Odessa was just so cold today and yet the sun was shining so bright.

I don’t know how I would have survived a foreign country without the support of the friends I’ve made over the last 4 years. Truly I am blessed to call them my family.

That flower has been my go-to emoji. It’s a cherry blossom 🌸 and it’s just so beautiful that I send it to almost everyone on my contact list.

Unfortunately I sent it to one particular contact who at that time seemed to have been in a really bad mood that he felt he had mighty Hercules power to shatter my good vibes and ask me the purpose of the the flower emoji? I was like 👀 (shocked face) but y'all know my confidence is higher than the Burj Khalifa tower in Dubai 😂 (it rhymes right?) I always have a comeback!

People should avoid pouring their negative vibes on people like me. Anyway enough with these “wannabe vibe killers”.

Y'all today was legit an awesome start to the month of Love.

So its like 13 days to Valentine’s Day and I’m not even bothered by the hype that everyone has because there are more pressing matters like my Prosthetics exam on the 13th.

1 Corinthians 13 v 4-8 -LOVE (every single day)

Love
