Why Malawi?

The Real Meaning of Flirting and how to Be a Good Flirt- The Friday Shaker

Image
                                                                Flirting comes from the old French word 'fleurter,' meaning to flower. There are different definitions of flirting, and I'll list a few of them according to Peta Heskell (2002). ☆ Flirting is about giving out that little bit but not being totally available. ☆ Flirting is about fun, connecting, and getting to know people. ☆ Flirting is a way of showing people you are interested in them. ☆ Flirting is about giving compliments, smiling, and making people happy. ☆ Flirting is like being a butterfly—it flutters past in all its beauty, and when we try to catch it, it flies away, leaving us wanting more... ☆ Flirting is eye contact.

The Woman in Me- Poem and its Review

Image
Deep inside me is a powerful woman, One who roars louder than a lion Yet is as soft as sheepskin. In me resides a superwoman, Fierce and visionary. The woman in me is so influential, Everything has landed on a silver platter for me, As beautiful as a rose flower, Yet I will remain bold. Within me is a woman who does not tolerate idleness. The woman in me is dominant, Everything is safely under control, Nothing falls off my guard. Though I am sometimes hurt, I still crack a grin, Because I was wonderfully created, That's why I'm called Mother Earth, A keeper of nations, That is me. Happy New Month everyone!!!!

MY MALAWI: WHY ARE WE KILLING OURSELVES? - REMEMBERING THE DECEASED... CCTVs NEEDED IN ALL AREAS

Image
Rest in Eternal Peace of God Allan Wittika Oh, my country Malawi, the beautiful land where God placed me and where I was born. The land of peace, love, and a God-fearing nature. It was once the safest place to live, but today, it's a different story. Malodza! Malodza! Abominable things have occurred and continue to happen. We have begun killing each other in broad daylight without fear or conscience. We no longer think like humans but rather like wild animals. It's a tragic and disturbing situation. The recent two similar deaths in the capital city of Malawi have left many of us shocked, wondering what is happening in our beloved country, and whether we are safe. Are we safe? On September 20, 2023, I woke up to the news of the passing of Allan Wittika, my good friend from Blantyre Secondary School. He was a brilliant young man, driven and full of dreams. He loved Malawi, having been born and raised here, until malevolent individuals ruthlessly took his life in broad daylight, w
