* The stupendous win by our local rugby team - the Bulls - of the Super 14 Rugby Tournament Final yesterday. Bulls demolished the Chiefs( of New Zealand) by 61-17 at the Loftus Versfield stadium yesterday afternoon.
I am not much of a rugby fan myself, therefore I am not going to tell you about this 'try' or that 'scrum', by this or that player. But one thing I know is that yesterday at the end of the game I felt incredibly good. I was proud to be South African. The Bulls with this win had truly 'represented'.
"Much love to you coach( Frans Ludeke) and your charges."
* My 'bumping' into some good tips on how the man in the street can do his bit to save our planet.
We have heard much about how the icebergs in the northern hemisphere are melting because of global warming. We have also heard much about how we - as the inhabitants of the Earth - have much to do with this global warming through the lifestyle that we live. Increasing global warming will in the end lead to extremely high temperatures across the world, which will one day make our planet unable to not only support us as the human species but also unable to support all forms of life.
We can reduce global warming by reducing our carbon emissions, and this means we must reduce the use of anything that produces energy by emitting carbons.
In an article that appeared in the Sunday Times(of 17/05/09) supplement( It's My Business) the writer - Hendri Pelser - gave us a few tips on how we can do this:
"1.Travel less - ( use)Skype instead of meeting face to face.
2.Open windows and switch off the air conditioning.
3.Fit energy - saving bulbs and switch off lights when not needed.
4.Switch off appliances that are not in use at the plug point.
5.Drive slowly to emit less pollution."
* A night of magic this past Wednesday .Barcelona F C gave us fans of the
'beautiful game' a night to remember when they won the European Champions
League Final. They defeated - with their trademark 'fantasy football' - Manchester United by 2-0. And this scoreline does not even begin to describe how comprehensive this defeat of Man U was. Man U were totally outplayed. At one stage the match commentator was saying that the Man U players can't seem to get to the ball. Because it was 'glued' to Barca's players feet.
In the the final analysis Barcelona were the deserved winners. They entertained and thrilled us all on the night.
The Spanish Armada had indeed taken over Rome that Wednesday night.
And what about the historical Spanish treble( the King's Cup, the La Liga and the
Euro Champs Cup) by coach Pep Guardiola in only his first season in top flight
soccer. How cool is this?
THANK YOU UNIVERSE. THANK YOU FOR OUR 'FEEL GOOD MOMENTS'.

Our FEEL GOOD poem of the week:
Here Come The Bulls
________________
It's the Bulls of Pretoria.
The Bulls of Tshwane.
Here they come.
Storming Loftus.
Running over the Chiefs.
Here they come.
The Bulls of 'Mahlanyeng'
Making history.
Winning the final by the unheard of 61-17.
Ably led by captain Matfield on the field.
And capably led by coach Ludeke in the dugout.
Here come the Bulls tsa 'bo-die maan.'
Here they come.
Here comes the pride of Mzansi.
All you pretenders.
Pretenders to the Super 14 throne.
Make way.
The Bulls have arrived.
Arrived in a big way.
And they are here to stay.
