proposal at Ellis Park..

For quite some time i thought that proposing marriage to a lady had slowly vanished. I had not seen or heard of any romantic proposals,but my family and friends every year would still get married. I asked a relative of mine weeks before his marriege  "Thomas tell me how did you propose?" Thomas replies " you see my boy i paid a lot of cows ya ne".Ya ne,my romantic Thomas. While Thomas paid a lot of cows Victor took me to a five series training of how to propose. 'You see my boy, i fell in love with your cousin a long time ago,one day while relaxing by the river side we looked at each other and we said now we should get married." "WOW" I said. That wasn't hard.
In a mission to plan my own proposal, i sought help from my father. i asked him "dad  how did you propose to mom" He looked at me and smiled then he said "dont watch these soupies they will mess up your head,love happens my boy," Loosely transelated he meant, dont propose just take.I struggled with coming to terms on how i am going to ask for her hand in marriege. I was sorrounded by a crowd of counselors but none of their counsel helped me.My sorrows were turned to joy when my friend made a historic proposal at Ellis Park stadium in front of more than thirty thousand people.What? I said to my self,. this thing really exist.Through the aid of facebook twitter and word of mouth (amakuwa/osomangase/omapepereka) the news travelled all over Jozi.
My friend had set a standard for me and others. Lungile my cousin had already started the lobola negotiations when the Ellis Park proposal happen.Later that day he phoned me and says " cousin tell me whats the most romantic place you know in jozi i want to ehhh eehh propose.". I feel you my brother. Okuyenza uDube lo Ncube kumele akuyenze.

Man, no matter how humble you are, the ego in all of us will always rise.I asked a doctor one time, why should we propose if we love each other ,we know we will get married anyway. He said "you propose so that you can: get the opnion and aproval of your partner yes or no, so that you can engage her into the mood of building a family  rather than just dating and of course so that she wont leave you.Good word of advice from the doctor. A lady friend says to me after i had asked her why she wants to be engaged " i need to have two rings phela, one gold the other diamond " Okay thats not bad at all.

WARNING

Please dont try proposing in the following areas or gatherings

During a Pirates or Chiefs match.
During a ANC rally especial youth league you might be called a bustard.
Or at Ellius park stadium you might be charged for piracy.

my X is on facebook....lol..

A late call made me to rush to johannesburg central for some business.I managed to finish my business before the streets were cleared. Passing by one of the internet cafe's', i found a security officer (matshingelana) glued on one of the flat screens in the cafe.He loked sad, a little perplexed,but better described as astonished or i can simplify it and say he was just flabagasted.At first i thought he was peeping on some porn but when i saw some blue i knew it was facebook.I politelty asked "X GIRLFRIEND".He nodded his head in agreement, no word coming off his mouth.She looked exucutive.All her pictures were sending a message . I am not quite sure to whom,but it seemed the message was working.On one of the pictures she was standing with a "a re-edition of Usher Raymond mixed with some musculinar John Cena and a smile on face saying you can see mee..lol..".Well looking at my fellow brother, i just strecthed forth my hands and prayed for him.The Lord giveth the Lord taketh.

It all began on facebook.I sent a her a friend request.She accepted.I liked her status.She like mine too.I went on and comment and she replied *wink wink*.The rest we settled through inboxes.A couple of weeks later she change her relationship status to in a relationship. We upgraded from facebook to Macdonalds.We talked laughed and ofcourse you know *wink wink*.The lord giveth the lord taketh.We started fighting.She didn't inbox,like or comment on my status.She went on to change her status to being in an open relationship,then complicated and disaster SINGLE. It all began on facebook it had to end on facebook.
Everytime i was on facebook i would find myself typing her name and peeping on her pictures, status and where she commenting frequenlty.

The worst happened when she became friends with this boy (names not to be mentioned incase i be sued for defirmation of character or invasion of privacy worse of sexual harassemnet,its woman's month by the way).I am part of the thousand of soldiers fighting the love war on facebook.We dont upload pictures because of networking we upload them because they are grenades.A female friend is a bazooka while a picture of myself and her is an atomic bomb.To all the soldiers fight the good fight and lay hold of twitter in the future.

The above story is an email i recieved from a friend lolest..you thot it was me,,,*kikikikikiki* .While some are fighting wars on facebook i received this email.
