Emma: Fitness Shoot
Emma is a friend of mine, who works as a TV-journalist in Johannesburg. She decided this year that she wanted to do the grueling Ironman Triathlon. She trained very hard and got ready within 5 months. The Ironman consists of 3,8 km swim in the ocean,followed by 180,2 km cycling and a marathon of 42,2 km!
The Ironman is a race that's hard on the body and it took a lot of commitment in preparing for this race.
Two months later I asked her for a photo-shoot, because she is in tip-top shape and this kind of preparation must be respected.
Well done Em.

Kids visit Pippie Kruger
Yesterday we went to visit Pippie Kruger (3) where she is busy recovering at a Netcare Rehabilitation Clinic in Auckland Park after she was burnt over 80% of her body.
Dr. Alan Barrett, his wife Erika and two daughters, Kailey (11) en Jennifer (14), came to visit Pippie. Dr. Alan works for Genzyme SA and worked with the doctors in Boston, America when they were cloning Pippie's skin for the operation.
It was quite an emotional experience.

The Day of Confessing My Love
How should I say this? I’ve thought about it hundreds of times
I couldn’t sleep well and my face looks horrible
I’m not happy with my hair today
I’m on tenterhooks all day
I couldn’t sleep well and my face looks horrible
I’m not happy with my hair today
I’m on tenterhooks all day
Unknowingly, there’s only an hour left till I meet you
I went to the florist and wanted to buy you some flowers
Should I buy roses? Or should I buy another type of flower?
Ah I don’t know anymore. “Ahjumma, make it prettier please~!”

Ah I don’t know anymore. “Ahjumma, make it prettier please~!”
When we meet today, I was going to say you’re pretty
But when we actually met, “I bought you flowers so you buy me food!”
Why did I end up saying these things?
But when we actually met, “I bought you flowers so you buy me food!”
Why did I end up saying these things?
Am I simply stupid or naïve?
Such disheartening words just came out of my mouth
Actually what I wanted to say is
I love you
Such disheartening words just came out of my mouth
Actually what I wanted to say is
I love you
The words I practiced the whole night, I forgot them all
Even though I’m just giving you this flower so dully
You still smile at me brightly and look like you really like it
You’re an angel
Even though I’m just giving you this flower so dully
You still smile at me brightly and look like you really like it
You’re an angel
You are my angel
We were chatting about this and that while we eat
When should I say it, waiting for the chance
Should I say it now? I should say it now. Actually, I can’t hear anything right now.

I wanted to tell you that my heart belongs only to you
“Since the two of us are lonely, so let’s try dating each other”
I kept saying such words

Pippie Kruger admitted to rehabilitation centre
Johannesburg - Burn victim Isabella "Pippie" Kruger was released from hospital on Wednesday, her doctor Ridwan Mia said.
"Pippie is not going home, but she's been admitted to a Netcare rehabilitation centre in Auckland Park in Johannesburg."
The 3-year-old girl is still recovering after undergoing groundbreaking skin-graft surgery at Johannesburg's Garden City Hospital last month.
Sheets of skin, cloned from a sample taken from her body, were grown in a laboratory in the US. The skin was then flown to South Africa were doctors successfully attached it.
It was the first time this type of advanced skin graft had been performed in Africa.
Pippie sustained burns to about 80% of her body when a gel lighter exploded at a New Year’s braai.
For the next six months, she would undergo physio, speech, and occupational therapy.
"I am positive she'll continue to do well. She's improved a lot since the surgery and even her parents are pleased with her progress," said Mia.
