My Class today

Today I went through my facebook lesson again. Its amazing how one forget the procedure necessary to do it properly but after today I hope things will be easier. Will let you know next week how I managed on my own once I am doing it at home. Hold thumbs up for me that I get it right first time.

Teaching the moms 4.0 classes today

It's been fun doing the moms 4.0 classes we the geeky moms had to teach them how to blog via the mobile phones. I must say the first class was great to work with we had their undivided attention and the second class came in and did their own thing some went to the royal wedding on the net and others was attentive to what was happening in class. It was good meeting all the moms in the new social media classes I hope they enjoyed having us in their classes

Blogging

Hi There This morning we were taught how to blog via the cell phone. Because I do not have a cellphone with internet I was a bit out of sorts, but no matter I am sure I can practice on one of my grandson's cells. I am quite excited about all these new applications that I am learning here at RLabs. I am very grateful to them for the exposure to learn all these new innovations at our age. So the old adage (that you cannot teach an old dog new tricks) should be thrown out with the bath water as I am living proof that you can teach an old dog new tricks and this dog is old. One of my grandsons is not too pleased that his ma going to computer classes as he is 16 years old he thinks I ought to act my age. When I told him that I was on facebook he was very upset and I mean it as he says who wants to see my face or details on facebook. I said to him that I am sure that there are quite a lot of young people who would love a Grandma to connect with. And if he must know that I am now Blo
Hi-my first time blogging from my cell. Trying to decide if cool or not

cellphone - computer

I have been pretending that my computer is a cellphone. Thanks to the helpers at R-Labs I will be able to blog on a cell-phone when I get one that connects to the internet.

Mobile blogging

my blogging experience

Its great to learn to blog via your phone and capture images and share it with the whole world.I am willing to learn it is very interesting.I will be able to use technology in the future.

Back into the future

Today i'm going to watch my sons Shaun and Elton not sure about Andre play in a re-union baseball tournament, at the Vangate oval. The last time I watched them play was in their teens, so this is going to be so exciting. I'll be going straight from my class to the oval. Will let you know the outcome next time round.
It is amazing what can be done on a cellphone. It is like a computer. Maybe one day I will own a fancy cellphone that can blog and be used like a camera.

experience

Hi my first blogger experience on the phone is a catastrophe. I didn't get to make use of my mobile and i feel very heart sore because of this. I think that my mobile must be upgraded and that will maybe be much better for me. Thats it Bey....

My cellphone experience

Today, 30/4/2011, did I have fun at R Labs, we learnt to blog on the cell phone and boy, did I struggle???. I only got to a certain stage and I got stuck.The Geeky Moms found it quite funny because I mentioned that I shall get me a new phone but was not sure whether to get Blackberry, Raspberry or Malmesbury. Now getting a new phone seems to be a necessity if I want to join the teenage world of blogging, facebook and twitter. Being a mature adult, I shall have to send my hat around to fulfill my dreams.
I am blessed to be in class today .We have same ladies in class that help us.We are bloggin with cell phouns today.IT was were difficult but after this we will be able to blog from my phone.Its very interesting to be able to learn this in one morning.

I really wanted to surprise the moms in the 4.0 cafe session by posting a blog before class, but all is not lost. hope to get it right before class start tomorrow morning. My phone seem to not want to publish and it really would have been cool if I had blogged before tomorrow.

The Real Passover sacrifice

Image
At this time, just over two thousand years ago, being the second hour after twelve noon, Jesus' lifeless body hangs on a cross in the center of the world on a hill called Golgotha. Now the only people still hanging around the execution scene was his family and close friends who was still grieved and struck by the thought of how this could happen to such a good man. That moment they looked at the same lifeless body now hanging dead on the cross and to think at the morning of that same day, he was sentenced to death. He was then whipped , tortured, beaten, spat upon and forced to carry a heavy cross through the cit y streets to the hill of Golgotha, where he will be nailed on the cross, through his hands and feet to die on. At twelve noon that day, just before he breath out his last breath, he shouted "It is finished", making announcement to heaven and earth that the sacrifice for sin to be judged has been paid for by his suffering and death on a cross. Now two thousand yea

Google Video

Thanks to the people at RLabs who allowed me to bring my own laptop to the class and learned how to do Google Video.. This way I can talk and see the people I'm talking to.. ofcourse those on the other side have to have their PC's on the google video too. I'm looking forward to speak to my family in Edinburgh, Scotland soon. Tomorow I will attend the meeting of the U3A which means University of the 3rd Age... so that the older brain cells can be kept busy and in good order Ha! Ha! All welcome every 3rd Thursday of the month at Turfhall sportsfield Hall just off Belgravia Road, Crawford.

On Top of Table Mountain

Image
Must start by saying God is good. Two weeks ago I was blessed by RLabs with 2 tickets for the cable way at Table Mountain. I was excited because I was only there once, on the old cable car and that was years ago. Like I always share all my excitements and experiences with my hubby (Mark), he was the obvious person to accompany me. We set out on our journey today, due to the weather being nice. On our way there, near to the turn off to the cable way, our car just died while we were driving, no power, not even hazards. It was like a power failure. (total panic mode) Standing on the side of the road, I new it could only be Satan not wanting us to enjoy Gods blessings. I started rebuking Satan and believe me when Mark started the car after about 5 minutes, the car just started and we were well on our way again. I must say the cable car ride up was very quick, but the the experience on top of the mountain was amazing. Spending time with my hubby on top of Table Mountain, overlooking Cape T

blessed to be part of CTCF

I'm very blessed to be part of a church like Cape Town Christian Fellowship. I mean, just the teachings that are being provided for us is already a blessing. So many things are being made available for us. We are being equipped with all the necessary tools, that we'll need for the future. At the moment I'm under mentor ship with Pastor Frans for bible study, and I'm with the Rlabs,l "SOCIAL MEDIA". When I think of where I was a couple of years ago, i would never have imagined that I would've been able to accomplice all that i did. The bible teaches us that all things are possible through Christ who gives us strength,but you must also have faith.I believe that all that I'm busy with now is part of God's plan for my life. This is just the beginning of great things to come for all who is part of CTCF. We just have to walk in honoring and be in one accord "UNITY". God has a great plan for this BODY.

Buzz

Hi All, Yesterday I learnt about Buzz of course to do it on your own is a whole new different story, cos with every click one opens up a whole new world of knowledge and experience. I also learnt how to insert animated emoticons. My friends and I went on a free train ride to Fish Hoek beach.. oh! it's absolutely beautiful there and so serene and calm and the place has been beautifullymade. We even discovered a little rockpool with steps leading down to it. The texture and taste of the very same sea water was different, amazing! On Wednesday evening we were invited to attend an Emotion Code Healing session with Dr Bradley from America. We were able to hear women from Australia, South Africa and from America and even a Kineseologist who was skeptical but even her pain was relieved without medication. Once again the Power of God is totally amazing. Today is my birthday and my family is serving breakfast and we'll spend the afternoon at Green point park and we're gona have a gr

Excited for class

Image
I cant wait for tomorrow,its mom4.0 class again. Its like Friday cant get by quick enough. I think I'm getting addicted to the internet, which is a good thing!!! There's so much to learn.Everyday you see that something has either change on facebook or g-mail. Technology is so fast ,one can't keep up with it. However, I must say that I enjoy exploring on the internet. It's so much fun,fun,fun. I also made some new friends in class.We becoming so close with each other, we like a little family.From the moment we enter the class the fun begin.I like when we have to introduce ourselves every week. Its like blogging face to face with each other lol. We get to know the next person on a personal level. Not only is this a mom 4.0 class,this is also a place where one can share,support,advise, relate to each other, because we're all woman. But most of all its a place where you also grow as person. This class is changing me in a positive way. I feel so uplifted when I lea

MY NEW FRIENDSHIP

I'm just so great full to GOD, how he orchestrates things in our lives is beyond me.I have never experienced a friendship developing at such a pace this can only be GOD.I enjoy her company thoroughly,I miss her when shes not around i like her laugh the way she tells a story and the way she interacts with her family.She's a women of substance very focused on GOD,knows exactly what she wants in life.I cherish her friendship and regard her highly we just clicked from day one and i cant wait to see what God has in store for us together with our families.I love her dearly and this is not words i take lightly.THANK YOU LORD FOR YOUR BLESSINGS ON ME.THANK YOU NAZLI FOR YOUR FRIENDSHIP

Divine Appointments

Yesterday Cape Town Christian Fellowship had a special ordination service. Being there early gave me the opportunity to see how people work together to achieve the plans of God. I was excited because of what God was doing in the lives of his children. Even before the service started, the Holy Spirit was already preparing the hearts of his people. The hall was packed with loved ones wanting to witness the blessings and the anointing of God. The meeting was led by our very own, anointed man of God, Apostle Roger Petersen. The leaders that were going to be ordained, walked in with their wives and that was a bit emotional to me as I was one of them walking in with my husband. Apostle Roger Petersen welcomed his leadership to the stage. We all were seated on the stage for everyone to witness how God was elevating his servants. The leaders that was ordained as Apostles was; Basil Poole and Ernest Van Wyk. The leaders that was ordained as Senior Pastors was; Jennifer Petersen, Solomon Seragie

Caffe session

I believe that it cost you to believe in yourself if you want to achieve anything in life. There are things that are being given to you free of charge like to stand up, to breath, to make descissions and just like you get all these things for free , there are also things that are not always free. People seldom come into your life and say that we will offer our time and give you information that cost thousands of rands free of charge so grab hold of these opportunities and educate yourselves. I also believe that we in South Africa are blessed with so much opportunity and warm hearted people. Amidst all the term oil.

ExperiencingTechnology

Face book on the phone is totally different.The computer is more intense much better more options to operate .I can chat And send messages. The phot0s of your friends is much bigger and you can itentify them better. It is great to see what is happening in peoples lives.Keep you updated and making new friends.Seeing old friends faces and comunicating with them via technology. A great new world.

my lessons to date

Image
I am really enjoying the lessons I am having. I am finding that it is opening up a new world to me. I enjoyed the e mail letters I have sent and I really enjoyed the facebook lesson last week. I sent a message to my daughter in Canada on facebook during last week's lesson and she phoned me back the Saturday night all very excited and she was telling me that she is telling all her friends that "my Mom" is on facebook". She is quite excited that I am learning the computer and that they will all write to me and I need not worry she will never defriend me. I want to say a big thank you to all the facilitators and Rene and Monique for the patience that are having wih me in teaching me all I know. Also a very big thank you to Angelo for all his patience with me. Thanks guys.

About my week past.

Image
About last week the second day of April. Unfortunately i missed my mom 4.0 class, not so impressed with myself although the session taught the class on how to go onto face book of which i am 1 point ahead, i have to travel from Atlantis to Bridgetown for my class every Saturday and do depend on my own transport and have to start off early enough to be in time for my class. Last week i had some car trouble and could not make it :o(. I do appreciate the way we are being assisted by the group by them imparting within us that which has been taught to them and the interest they sow as they sow back into the community, definitely not left unseen by God. Well i do enjoy my life as a christian with the ups and downs life serves us, yet in all things God works for the best for those who love Him.

mom's sessions

The mom's sessions have really been excellent, the interaction with the facilitators and the ladies have been lots of fun. Learning new things about different people from different strokes is always interesting. In the weeks gone by I've managed to challenge myself to go that extra mile and it's amazing what you can achieve when you do that. Too many times we take our abilities for granted and we forget that we have been designed for great things. I encourage moms, young ladies and those who have forgotten, YOU CAN DO ANYTHING YOU SET YOU MIND TO !! In last year I attended a seminar at which there was a young guy who shared that he started a non profit organisation by donating 1 pair of shoes with every shoe that was purchased from his store as he wanted to make a difference in someone's life. At that point in time he had donated thousands of pairs of shoes across the world to people who had never own shoes. This really touched my heart as we often take it what we

Last week- April 2 2011

Last week I learnt to use facebook at R-Labs Mom.4 course. I am becoming more confident using my laptop at home as a result of what I am learning in the class. Not only is the class a very good learning experience but the MOMs teaching and helping us and those attending are all very special people. I have had family from the USA, Australia and New Zealand staying with us - and my son and grandson from London, as well as my son from Jo'burg will be at home when I arrive back at the house later this m0rning. More family arrive next week and we will be having the big family get-together on Tuesday when all the children and grandchildren and parents as well as my sister will be together in one place at the same time.

Happenings in my life

Hi there I am enjoying myself immensely in this class but I feel so inadequate as I must be assisted every week with the same thing and I always thought that I was so with it. I suppose it is because I only do it once a week." Probably not praying hard enough for a computer." I have just come from a funeral of a very dear person Jackie Tobin one of our church members and had to leave before the service ended to be here as I do not want to miss one class if I can help it as I do not want to miss out on anything. I had been blessed by friends of mine Sydney and Mildred Moosajie to spend this past week with them in Langebaan. It was truly a blessed weekend just enjoying the mountains and the sea and marvelling at God's handiwork. It was truly a time of refreshing emotionally and spiritually which I give God all the praise cause he is truly worthy of all praise. God knew that my husband and I needed that time away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. But it is always

my facebook story mom4.0

Image
I had the time of my life and i really enjoyed myself to be able to make new friends and it was nice to see how many friends you can meet on face book i really learned allot of new stuff and its really for me a great opportunity to be in this class if it wasn't for this class i wouldn't have been able to learn all this new stuff i just want to thank the R LABS team for everything that they have done for me

My Experience On Face Book

Image
It is interesting and excited to be on face book because you chat with so many friends across the world sometimes and at the same time it is something that i never thought of, i watch my son busy with the phone all the time, i ask myself is it neccessary but now i see the difference.Last week it was my first time on face book, i am telling you i felt to be on the line for the whole day and i also surprise my family because i invited them also.

My computer class

Image
My exeperence of my computer class came here without knowledge of computer.But today got a opportunity.I do find it a difficult, but at the end of my classes i definely have some knowledge.But for now i enjoy gmail.

getting on

Image
I find learning a bit slow, must be my age, but I shall continue. I hope I will remember all the little niggly things as to what to do when I make errors. So far I have learnt to blog, go on to E mail and even learnt how to go on to face book. I discovered that you can actually pick and choose your facebook friends. Now that I am learning all this new technology I discovered I shall need a new SMART PHONE in order to practice all my new knowledge. I enjoy coming to R.LABS and thank the very helpful people that teach us, but I hope I was a quicker learner.

Facebook friendly lovinging it lots

About facebook

Image
I had a good week and I am back at Rlabs. Last week we were introduced to Facebook. I always heard people talking about how they meet and chat on facebook. Now I can do the same.I found it quite tricky at first but now it is going much better. I am excited about meeting family and friends now .Perhaps I should tell something about myself. I needed to Email my family overseas and then I found out that Rlabs was offering lessons, and I enrolled. The ladies are very helpful and I look forward each week to be here.

my experience of facebook

Image
I enjoyed it very much. The problem is i couldnt practice at home as I dont have a laptop , thats why I was struggling this morning. I am very grateful for having this oppertunity to learn. Thank you RLabs. Last night I reached part of my goal. I was acknowledged for getting some consultants to sign on. Its very easy to join Sh'zen, all you have to do is have a dem. of R1700 then you get a bag with +-21 products for free and buy a product for 6months then the bag and products is yours.

Rlabs My experience

Image
Wow ,what an experience to be in the mom4.0 class! This is really a good thing for me as a woman to be part of this new technology, empowering myself . The first time mom 2.0 started i wanted to sign up for the class , however is wasn't the right time. I feel like this is the right time, because, not only am i learning how to get acquainted with technology, but also making new friends, how to relate to people who are younger than myself ,who are in authority and how to respect them. I thank God for allowing me to be part of this class. This is so much fun ,not only am i learning new things.I take home what I've learned in class and teach my husband and children how to go deeper in technology. My husband and children always had to teach me, but now they are amaze at the things I know from only a few classes here at the Rlabs. This class has taught me that I do so much more. I told my friend, I wont miss out on this class even if I'm

Im a survivor

I have been having a wonderful time in the Mom4.0 class. We learned about facebook they call it Fb thats what they call it on facebook. I have Fb on my cell phone struggling a little bit but getting it right. I saved airtime for the whole week because my son is in hospital so I have been keeping in contact with everyone I know it is fabulous. Now I can keep in contact with my friends I dont see often. Every Friday I look foward to Saturdays because It's Me Time. Pray for me and my son I need the strength for this week. I'll stay in contact via Fb or Blogger.

Facebook /my experience

Image
I missed the lesson on Facebook lastweek 'cos I was away on a Silent Retreat in Kleinmond... Isn't it ironic that I had to shut-up (voluntarily ofcourse) and the name of the place is Kleinmond. Ek moes my mond Klein en toe hou. Yes it was a very revealing weekend and taking time off and away from the usual is wonderful for reflecting and getting to know one's self. So now here I am learning some more about the previous lessons and Facebook and always in awe of the power of the brain and human capabilities and capacity for more education and knowledge. I'm really grateful to God for this wonderful opportunity to be at RLabs. Its a wonderful humanatarian experience when we can empathise with the others in the class who may be going through bad patches in their lives. There's just so much support and cameraderie amongst us.. so there's always hope support and love from all for all.

Im a survivor

Silence and quiet time

This past weekend I went on a Silence Retreat. Yes, I shut up for almost all of 40 hours. Phew, what an achievement. No easy task but what a relief not feeling that you have to make small talk. Yesit was certainly spiritually uplifting... all in all wetalk just too much. I've realised and appreciated so many things. I encourage everyone to really ' make' quiet time and just BE STILL. I know its easier said than done but if I could do it (with 19 other people) then so can anyone else. Yes the mind wanders and chatters just to get you offtrack, but hey! you can bring yourself to focus. It's a wonderful experience. We had lots of encouragement from our group and that made it easier. We also had some really funny moments. We hiked on the mountains and were encouraged to be still and really be one with nature and amazingly one can just savour those moments and appreciate the Greatness of our Creator and His Creation. You may find out more about this through keeping in touch
