Favourites

My favourite things are mostly in pink, purple or red. Flowers especially. When I get to have a home with a garden, all the flowers in the garden will be in pink and purple.

Food and drink

I like to drink more than I like to eat and I love fruits, vegetables and salads more than anything else!

My favourite salsas are mango 🥭 and pineapple 🍍 salsas.

I love avocado 🥑 so much so that I am growing them commercially.

I also love sweet bananas 🍌.

Hands on

I love to DIY a lot. I am also very hands-on and will always attempt to fix stuff myself before I get a professional to do it. I dye my own faded clothes and quick fix a lot of things for myself.

Music

After writing an article about my favourite songs, I discovered that in the process I had revealed to myself the things my heart truly craves.

I am inclined to listening to more Michael Jackson and Beyoncé songs. Their voices and messages just bless my heart.

I love how they strive to be great, how they work hard and they stand out inspiring billions from around the world.

People ask me why do you love them so? I wrote a whole article about why.

Movies

I love sci-fi, post-apocalyptic, and animation movies the most. It’s because their story lines and scenes are usually something I could not imagine myself. Musicals are also great. The Sound Of Music is an all time favourite.

Teenage

As a teenager I imagined my self as a guitarist or drummer in a rock band. I also saw myself as a songwriter. I listened a lot to rock music and to Avril Lavigne. She is still a fave of mine.

Peter pan

I am one of those forever young types. I love silly kiddish things. I am the kind to still want to jump in a puddle of water, to play with bunnies and to have cute beads in my hair. Here’s to never growing up. I love this quote.

“ How old would you be if you didn’t know how old you were ?” — Satchel Paige

I would be now old.

Farming and agriculture

I love economics, particularly agricultural economics and how third world countries can exploit agriculture to achieve development.

After all, they have the core resources detrimental for this; the land and labour.

I love to farm. There is that bliss that fills your heart when you see your crops and trees grow from a tiny seed to a seedling to a fully blossomed plant.

It’s like watching a baby grow. Only this time, it’s many growing at the same time.

Sleep

My favourite place to be is in bed. I am a sleepy head. Don’t wake me up in the morning. Not even for morning sex.

Idea of family

I spent the first eight years of my life in a children’s home and lived in different family settings through out my early childhood, so my idea of family is unconventional. Family is not blood to me. You can choose your family. I choose my family all the time.

Learning

I like to learn and my favourite quote about learning is by Michael Jackson

“I am still learning, life is an education for me. I can’t say I know anything for sure. I really believe that.” — Michael Jackson

Reading

To learn I like to read a lot! I read almost anything from journals to blogs, to opinion pieces to social media posts etc.

I love to read biographies and autobiographies. I have read 14 books about Michael Jackson so far. I call myself a walking Michael Jackson encyclopedia.

Berry Gordy’s autobiography To Be Loved is the funniest book in the genre I have ever read. It is informative, memorable inspirational and hilarious. He is a true legend.

Publication

I created a publication on Medium called A List of My Favourite Things inspired by The Sound of Music. So check it out and share with the world a list of your favourite things.

Loaths

I hate liars, disloyal and insincere people who play games. I love straight shooters and I am drawn to the Dutch way of life because of their simplicity, frugality and directness among other things.

My favourite quotes about simplicity is;

“Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication.” — Leonardo da Vinci

Tall men

I am a sucker for tall men! I find them sexy as hell. It’s another reason I love the Dutch. Their men are so tall! My Dutch buddy is 2 metres tall.

What I’d do to catch a tall guy for myself!

Dear tall guy, please come my way…

Egalitarianism

I also love beta males. As a woman with a strong personality, I am attracted to someone who is interested in and can nurture an egalitarian relationship.

Forgiveness

I rarely forgive which is a trait I consider to be my major flaw. When I am done, I am done! For this reason I lose friends quickly. Sucks, but I’d rather be alone than with someone I feel doesn’t have my best interests at heart.

I might come out as bitter or always full of a heavy heart I know. But to me it’s all about setting personal boundaries and keeping the people that hurt you at bay so that they never have another opportunity to hurt you again.

I am a loner for this reason. I even created a quote that I am going to turn into a work of art and hang on my wall.

“You are never alone when you have you.”

Extremes

I also operate in extremes. It’s either in or out for me. I either care too much or feel nothing at all. There is no middle ground for me. I saw a quote along these lines recently.

“I’m a kind person, I’m kind to everyone, but if you are unkind to me, then kindness is not what you’ll remember me for.” - Al Capone

Motherhood

My greatest wish in life right now is to be a mummy. I can’t wait! To prepare myself for this, I have been reading a lot on parenting and have also been keenly watching how other people parent. I am determined to give it my best shot and to be the best mother my kids could ever ask for.

My ideal parents are Diana Ross, TJ Jackson and Michael Jackson. They seem to nurture or have nurtured their children into wonderful inspirational adults who impact the world positively in various ways and I think this should be emulated. Diana Ross should write a book on parenting. I constantly comment this on her social media. Hopefully someday she will see one of my comments and share and immortalise her parenting wisdom with the world.

My favourite quote about parenting is from Michael Jackson. Yeah, I already told you I love him a lot from the beginning.

“They say parenting is like dancing. You take one step and your child takes another.” — Michael Jackson

That’s me in a nutshell. I tend to be very consistent so I doubt any of these will change in the future. Though I might edit it for some additions coz you know- we grow every day!
