Heya!

If you are a regular degular to this blog then you will know I am about all things Fikile! If you’re new here (WELCOME!!!), then now you know. Today I am revealing my darkest and very not dark secrets about me.

1. My full names are Fikile Nomadlozi Nyathi.
2. I am 172 cm, last I checked.
3. I weigh 57,5 kgs now having moved from a stagnant 55 kgs for yeaaaars. I might have gained a few more grammes.
4. I’m Sotho. Nyathi, Serumula, Kgomo, Mbhikwa, Tari yatogwana; phambili angsakwazi…call me MaMdluli and I will roll my eyes, that’s not me.
5. I’m 24 years old. Sorry, I meant 25 going on 26. A December baby. And honestly, kudos to God and my parents because I feel my birthday is convenient. Mark 23 December in your calendar!
6. I love me some wrist watches. Okay, this is also me dropping birthday present ideas. An Era by Dj Zinhle watch would be ideal.
7. I can’t swim or ride a bike…is it too late to start learning now?
8. If I hadn’t studied Publishing studies, then I don’t know what I would have.
9. I am a published author.
10. I want to be a horse rider and look pretty while at it. Who’s getting me that horse? I will probably name him Mpiyakhe or whatever.
11. My favourite colour is black.
12. I get angry over what seem to be small things and quite the opposite for ‘angering’ things.  Those ‘small’ things get my voice shaking and my eyes tearing up…DRAMA! DRAMA! DRAMA!
13. I can connect with people who have similar interests as me at the click of a button.
14. I love tomato sauce, but I hate tomatoes. Trust me to pick out tomatoes on a date…I would rather die than eat a tomato. I also haaaaate onions.
15. I love food. Who doesn’t? I just prefer my food without onions and tomatoes.
16. I could go as far as to say that I was a tomboy when growing up and I have my brother to blame for it (I will never forget how I used to cry to get a hair cut like his…with a mqhekezo) I had no interest in beauty and fashion and that still hasn’t changed. Give me jeans and an unfashionable hoodie and I’m good to go. Sometimes I don’t comb my hair… that’s how bad it is.
17. I love sneakers. Sneakers first; heels never lol. I do wear heels on special occasions but I live for sneakers.
18. Writing is one of my favourite things to do.
19. I love Taylor Swift, she and l are sisters in the next life.
20. I hate winter.
21. I am probably one of the most indecisive people you will ever meet.
22. Tears are my form of communication. I am such a crier. Happy, sad, angry…I cry.
23. My favourite movie of all time is *drumrooooll* The fault in our stars…I am yet to watch it two times before the year ends.
24. I can’t sleep on my stomach. I can do it for 5 minutes max and it gets uncomfortable.
25. I talk too much. If you’re welcoming…I will say even the most inappropriate things. My mouth knows no boundaries.
26. I am not a morning person. For me to wake up early, I really need an exciting reason like going on vacation, not even waking up for snusnu does the trick. Half the time I am grumpy in the mornings.
27. I like money…no kidding.
28. Traveling is my calling…sis just needs money or a blesser and we both know which is faster and easier to get.
29. I love attention. I DO.
30. Red wine, Gin and Lemonade and Zambezi anytime of the day.
31. I wouldn’t think twice about becoming a house wife, baby girl gots to marry right LOL.
32. I do pray, a lot…doesn’t matter if I doze off during prayer hanti?
33. I can listen to almost any song as long as the beat is great. I listen to the beat more than the lyrics…I can listen to a song for years and still not know its lyrics.
34. I am a nice person; this is one thing you can’t take away from me. I always give way too many chances to un-derserving situations and people.
35. I love everything about Ndebele culture (though I am not candid about it): the food, the history, the etiquette, the landscape, the architecture — all of it. I know where or rather, who it comes from.
36. Traditional over white wedding… I look forward to drinking s’godokhaya on the day.
37. I do eat sweet things but I don’t fuss over them. I can finish a chocolate over days…ANGIGOGOSI guys
38. I suck at giving advice. I’ll just be there going “Ah, uhm” “Fuckit, sorry babes” “ungezwa wena babes.”
39. Sis loves having fun, ubunandi bumnandi guys!
40. Nature is my therapy; along with new manicure and going commando.

So, that’s Fikile in a nutshell. Some parts of me summarized in short sentences. No doubt when l come back to this post few years from now; a lot would have changed.
