Surprise from God

last night was one of those nights when i knew upfront that sleep was not gona come easily.After a fairly relaxing evening, i found myself in bed but not tired enough to sleep.I have spend time in devotion and still not tired. As most times, our ways and thoughts are not that of God. He is a true friend and full of surprises. At 23:15 i tuned in to radio ccfm. the surprise was god speaking to me thru music.I truly had an awesome time in His presence. Also did i have fun with the presenters of "planet extreme"and with some of the callers. I had a gud laugh when a caller called and requested "My way" by Frank Sinatra on a gospel radio station. So ppl, when you find that you cannot sleep, speak to God as He just know how cos after that i went straight to sleep. Be blessed.

Our table mountain

Firstly i wanna thank God for His wonderful creation Table Mountain. Yes, i am using capital letters as it is a huge mountain. Just a while ago it has announced that our mountain, God's gift to us, has been named a wonder. A wonder it is indeed! I am so proud to be a Capetonian as now we are all famous. Just imagine all the wealth our mountain is gona bring into this city!!!

Trusting God

Earlier today, my daughter phones me to ask me about a certificate for a course she's done. Now because we have moved i didn't quite know where to look as i haven't really unpacked as yet. Lazy me lol. Anyways as i walked to the back, i started speaking to the Lord. I said, Father, where would i find this document as i could not remember as to what i had done with it. I also said Lord, i need you to help me here.So now i looked @ all these unpacked boxes, totally turned off. As i was wondering where to begin, my eyes fell on a box. Upon opening it, i found what i was looking for. Amazing, as i didn't think it would be so easy. While being so amazed, the Holy spirit said the following to me..trust God and He will direct your paths..When i asked the Lord to help me, He did just that..directed my path.

Back to Virtual Life

Hi everyone,

Today is a new day for me.. I'm with friends from RLabs Cape Town and we are At Silulo Ulutho in Makhaza Mall, Khayelitsha, Makhaza.. We are busy training up new user to the online world who are all soon to be Social Media Gurus.

now I know you wondering who I am but If you were one of the first readers of this blog you would know who I am. I am Jason Martin a.k.a Mitioj (beta known as MrNastics) I am proud to say that I was one of the first Reconstructed Team members and I was part of the developing and growing of Rlabs

"Today I'm proud to tell the world that my virtual life online died but I rose again.. " - Jason Mitioj Martin

Thank You for Reading this post feel free to comment :)

Reconstructed

Wow this is a special moment in my life for me I can still remember it as clear as day.I went to register for my course at Rlabs but there was some confusion according the course details the course i had actually applied for was full and registration had closed. "I was booked for the wrong course" I remember telling the guys there at registration and I was lekker upset neh "what can you teach me about Social Media that I don't already know" I still thought to myself but was I in for a big suprise lol.Eventually after some "kind persuation"(by Gary might I add) I decided to just go ahead and do it because at that time I was at a point of such despiration to find employment that i thought what the heck.But little did i know what God had instore for me. I say this because it could only be him and through him that all these doors have opened for me ever since.Not only did I learn more than i could ever have imagined to have learnt from that course but the opportunities that came afterward where extrodinary.One of my facilitators(who owns her own SM Company) started calling me to come and co-facilitate with her part-time for her company.Then after completion of the bootcamp at Grow Academy they arranged internships (with no pay) at local NGO's for all of the participants of the bootcamp so that we could now use the skills we had learned and gain some experience and at the same time give back to empower someone else and we even got bursaries from them to do an online course with Getsmarter and UCT how cool is that.I chose FAMSA because they are an organisation so close to my heart but the day before I had to start at FAMSA I received a call with a job offering Yeah!!!!(with pay)and i thought praise God. And today I am a Social Media Account Manager and Co-facilitator at BizXnet. And non of this would have been possible if i had not walked into Rlabs that day. Rlabs has really,honestly and Awesomely RECONSTRUCTED my life. Eternally Greatfull guys.

Reconstructed above the clouds

We really got much more than we bargained for on our latest venture. It was set out to be a day of separation. No hustle and bustle of the city life and just the tranquility found on Table Mountain.

The Influence of Significance support group ” a group of young Capetonian men reconstructed from gangsterism and drugs” take this opportunity to explorer and pray over the city from Table Mountain. I personally take this as my debriefing time and what better place than Woodhead and Hely-Hutchinson dams.

They were constructed between 1896, and 1907, in order to supply Cape Town with water.
Cape Town has since grown to such an extent, that the water requirements far exceed the capacities of the dams. However, they add such beauty to the mountain top and some interesting history too. The waterworks museum, found at 800m, on the top of Table Mountain, contains fascinating memorabilia from the dam construction. From original tools and photographs, to an entire steam engine!!.

 Table Mountain is known to be a floral wonder. In a relatively small area almost 1500 plant species have been recorded. The wonder of our mountain is that if you lucky you get to see the splendor of dancing ballerina flowers as we did. This group of dances flew for different parts of the world to do a photo shoot on our NATURAL WONDER!

Social Media, the Platform.

Thanks to Social Media and the tools available to me i now can do things for myself. Just Last week i have learnt how to create a page to advertise whatever one need to advertise. I always have to rely on someone, other than myself to market my business. Been on facebook for a while now but didn't know much about advertising until last week. So, because of what i have learnt at RLabs, i can now do my own marketing. I have started by creating a page and is still busy, intending on making people aware of what i am capable of and the type of service we offer. Please search on facebook for Final Touch Caterers and support me. Thank you RLabs for empowering people like myself.

My Holiday

I had a fantastic holiday with my birthday A lovely boat trip to the islands The weather was fantastic It was like a little world on its own out on the sea.Made new friends and tried not to miss one event because there was lots of fun and laughter. Up from early morning till late at night A holiday i will never forget

Myself

A year ago i only knew about communicating via sms lol. I had no interest in any other form of communicating. The year 2011 really woke me up! I now know how to Facebook, how to use Google as a tool and right now i'm having my first taste of how to "Blog' and wow, what an experience!! I'm one of those people that was born before technology but refuse to stay in that space haha! Best part of all this is that i'm learning right now is, i don't have to bother my children any longer as i can now do things for myself. Thanx to the RLabs accademy!!!!

the type a person i am

Im caring and passionate person towards people. I like helping where i can. I live in Bridgetown Athlone i attended Bridgetown high school. Today I heard some sad news about good friend of mine.All he needs to know is that his in my prayers.

the upgrading in athlone qtown

they are realy renovating the flats beautifully , they painting , adding geysers , new plugs , baths etc.

its realy beautiful and you guys should take a look at it...

real champions,real madrid

real madrid football club,to me there's only one way to describe such a team as real madrid with its rich and successful history,sheer glamour and astounding elegance and that would be unforgivably great. real madrid has thee most uefa cup championship titles so far and that's why they are so great and the pride of my heart.

craze weekend

had the coolest weekend with my friends what fun it was cant wait for next weekend still kinda tired and tipsy but it was all fun and seeing my friend that i did not see in a while was a bonus hope I'll see him next weekend to pick up where we left off

Whats interesting about social media

It is a good way of communicating to someone who is a long distance away.
The other cool thing is that it gets you used to working with computers.
You can also reach people that you never seen in a long time.

My name is Deon born in Cape Town, Bridgetown. I come from a life of drugs and gangsterism,someone who did not know his true identity but discovered it in someone by the name of Jesus>So know i know who i am. I am excepted i am loved i am favored i am blessed i am qualified to share in the inheritance of His glorius kingdom> KNOW THATS WHO I AM

who am i

my name is arthur i am from athlone kewtown i was a drug addick i am now clean for two years and have accepted christ jesus in my life i know that i am a better person and set my eyes on the calling in christ to reach out to those who was in a simular position that i was even to other drug addicks to help them

The Journey Begins

This evening a group of ex addicts that have recently embraced Christ has come together to share their experiences with the rest of the world.The aim is to get their stories out there to present hope to others that is lost.These guys were the worst of the worst and if Jesus could set them free from drugs then surely he could do it for others out there.Follow their stories and be encouraged.JESUS IS LORD

How my day started !

Got news this mrng,never got the job.How disapointing,i felt really miserable whole day. I learnt that we must except disapointments in our lives. The devil wants to bring me down but he is a liar. I will always put my trust in the Lord.I believe there is something greater out there for me.

Return from the Grave

This is a story about my life and how it was going straight to hell. Me (Ricardo Little) was looking to fill a void in life by doing drugs, drinking, having sex and even gangsterism. Things got so bad that i even found myself in one of sa's most dangerous prisons, Pollsmoore. How i landed up there is another story for another time. Not kowing what to do i called unto Jesus and he saved me. Today i can proudly say that im free from every addiction and even helping others. I'm truely thankfull that God saved me from the grave and i'm living for Him now.

Christ is alive and is walking with me

If I think back of how my life was before I knew Jesus and how it changed now it is amazing.He never left my side since I accepted him into my life.I never thought I could manage having a
son born with cerebral paulsey but he has empowered me to do so.Daily I receive wisdom and
strength from him.

Who am I

My name is Deon born in Cape Town, Bridgetown. I come from a life of drugs and gangsterism,someone who did not know his true identity but discovered it in someone by the name of Jesus>So know i know who i am. I am excepted i am loved i am favored i am blessed i am qualified to share in the inheritance of His glorius kingdom> KNOW THATS WHO I AM

#Hashtags#

Hashtags are to the social web what emoticons were to Web 1.0 and TXTing. While both are forms of expression and sentiment, there is one subtle, but vital difference. Hashtags are not only part of online culture, they are defining a new era of communication on the Web and IRL (in real life). With over 140 million Tweets flying across Twitter every day, hashtags surface a method to the madness – the ability to group conversations into an organized timeline. But what started out as a way to index conversations in Twitter has now substantially altered how people convey, relay and discover information in and out of the popular nichework. The hashtag has also become an effective form of #selfexpression.

In social media, “x” no longer marks the spot, “#” is now the indicator for popular culture and all that moves it. In the social economy, the hashtag is an indicator of value in the Twitter information exchange. Each hashtag represents revolving markets with varying lifespans determined by the significance of the conversation and its continuously fleeting demand. Some last only minutes, while others endure for hours or days.

While many struggle to understand the value of Twitter, those who get it are literally changing how they connect and talk to one another. At some point, a chasm emerges between those who use Twitter and those who do not. In other channels where Twitter users and other non-users are connected, for example email or text messaging, the culture of conversation becomes noticeably divergent. To begin with, Twitter users, like txters, are groomed to speak with brevity. Subconsciously aware of the character constraints of Twitter, communication is concise, to the point, with an emphasis on shortform bursts. This digital shorthand if you will is only part of what’s changing. Digital anthropologists have long observed the impact of text messaging on the ability to write in longhand. R U surprised? Prolly not…LOL! Twitter will also become the subject of educational studies to prove that the culture code of communication is transcending status updates to affect everyday engagement. Specifically within 140-character inspired transmissions, the hashtag is playing an important role.

The Digital Transformation of Healthcare

Can Social Media Save Lives?

In recent years, social networking services like Facebook and Twitter have affected many sectors of the global health care industry, from doctor-patient communication to medical research to hospital management. In this exclusive webinar, four leading experts will explore the implications of social networking technology for the future of medicine. Topics will include:

• How patients are using social networks to learn more about their conditions and seek treatment information, thereby facilitating the provider-patient relationship and realizing efficiencies in the health care system.
• Crowd sourcing medical research: how social networks can facilitate data collection.
• The networked care center: how social media is changing hospital management.
• How health care professionals can manage social media risk.

Wedding Bells & Creativity

"I had so much creative fun with my hobby, doing hair and make up......"




The day might have started off wet and freezing cold with Winter fast approaching, but the day Bianca and Francois said their I do’s – a day they have both been waiting for and planning for a long time, the Cape Town chills certainly had nothing on them!! In fact, this must be the day the saying ‘showers of blessings’ was created for!
Not allowing the heavy clouds to dampen this glamorous occasion, all those near and dear arrived in beautiful style- tho not out shining the bride & groom who did splendid in wowing everyone who attended!
The pair was joint in a breathtaking cathedral in the city central- St Mary, followed by a warm & welcoming reception at Suikerbossie in Houtbay – one of the most beautiful fisherman towns in South Africa!
Besides the fireplace doing a good job at keeping the place nice and cozy, DJ CAT also fired away with some great tunes, making sure everyone, even those least expected, ended up on the dance floor!
The highlight of the evening must have been the fine menu! man, was the food good! Definitely to be tried again…
The fairy tale wedding ended on a fun note as guests formed an arch for the happy couple to walk through as each one wished them every happiness and bid them a farewell as they headed on their honeymoon to exotic Thailand xxx

Men of Valor

Every man must be persuaded, even if he is in rags,that he is immensely,immensely important.Everyone must respect him and make him respect himself, too...give him great,great hopes.He needs them,especially if he is young.Spoil him.Yes,make him grow proud.... as only a father can do.

Growing up with no father child relationship has affected my live in many ways, and the day my dad past on it was like nothing... to me he was never alive.Yes not even a childhood memory of him playing with or fathering me...oh how i long for that embrace.It was to late I will never know I missed out on the blessing of having a earthly father and no one can replace him.I find it hard sometimes not knowing what it's like,I see others with their dad's and I wonder.........................

Yesterday as we honored the senior fathers in our church it came to me, that I can choose to forgive my father and not to miss out on the blessing of my Heavenly Father.He who called me by my name...and to all the fathers at Cape Town Christian Fellowship, I can look to you to teach me the way to live a life of honor,conviction and character.

Being a man of valor is both a gift and a discipline, It's a gift in the sense that God has given every man the capacity for greatness. It is a discipline in the sense that, although God will empower you,it is up to you to exercise the spiritual disciplines that will enable you to become the man God intends you to be a man of valor!

Dancing to the SaxBomb

It was an evening of Holy Ghost harmony and melody as anointed artist took to the stage in dance and song at the...
Stanley George Benefit Concert, hosted by-
Cape Town Christian Fellowship (CTCF).

Artist from all over the Western Cape joined in to support the event at Eros Center Athlone, and what was to be a concert tuned out to be an evening of pure worship.The CTCF worship team set the pace as they ushered in the
Holy Spirit,with Jason Mitioj Martin , Mark Peters and Donovan Petersen doing a trio with
It's me and You by Brian McNight.Every performance was a genuine expression of worship as The Allou April Band, Wayne Bosch, Heinrich Isaacs Ensembele, Belhar Singers and Many more ministered over us with their God given talent.

A change took place in the atmosphere as Larry-George SaxBomb Johnson and his band got the church to their feet with a heartfelt...passionate way of playing music. The young group from Mamre and Atlantis stirred up a powerful presents and anointing as Saxophonist Larry jumped of stage and ministered over individual people and just blew us away with his amazing way he dances as he plays his saxophone...these moments will resonate in many of our hearts...Sarge, Paul, Ralph, Faber, Alister and Larry "TWO THUMBS WAY UP" this is only the beginning, there is so much more God has in store for you...keep on playing God's tunes,Hallelujah!

Social Media

Semantic web is the word that is on everyone's lips these days and this was the first words spoken at the Social Media Boot Camp hosted by Rlabs.
Mike Santer Director at Rogarem presented a talk on the future internet.

Examples: If information about shops,restaurants,cars,music,movie tickets etc. were stored in RDF files, Intelligent Web could collect info form many different sources combine info and present it to users in meaningful ways...that in itself had all our attention. Our very own Clinton Liederman took us on a journey with the Geosocial Universe, saying that 55% of journalist say that Social Media is important or somewhat important for reporting and producing story's, and how companies who still don't make use of an online presents is missing out big time as Google is better then the yellow pages.
The founder of RLabs Marlon Parker who just came back for spending time in the Silicone Valley has a total new mind shift on how this are being done inspired us with his talk on Local,Social and Mobile. We ended the day of with a brainstorming session planing our online fund raising & campaigning with the help of Collin Habberton from givengain South Africa and now we running our Do Good, Give Hope winter campaign.

I'm a Survivor

Last week we celebrated children's day, and my heart goes out to all having to face the evil of child sexual abuse.

As a survivor of child sexual abuse, I myself no what it is, the confusion, victimization, emotional and physical pain a child suffers when facing this kind of exploitation... and yes it not only endangers or impairs but destroys a child's physical and emotional health, well being and development.I ended up living a promiscuous lifestyle of sexual and gender confusion for 20 years and believed that i was meant to be a woman and not a man...affecting my hole family's life. At the age of 14 dropped out of school, could not focus felt like a loser always being mocked and rejected, my molestation was following me with out me knowing and i grew up thinking that this is the way it was meant to be...yes even believing God crated me to be this way.

I am one of the lucky no blessed ones who made it out off that dark world and knows That God's love and redemption are bigger than my messiness, setbacks, and sufferings; therefore, i run to Him and not from Him.
We need to take care of our children, they don't have to suffer at the hand of sexual perpetrators inflicting harm and and molesting the God's blessing to us...Educate your children, responsible stewardship...your mind, body, and private parts, all made to serve God's healthy...does your children know they can come to you and talk about this...do you know how to recognize the symptoms of molestation?

I know it not easy to talk about this, but it's happening right under our noise and children don't know how to deal with it and end up messed up. We need to take a stand for them.

VOTING

Hey everybody as we all now it's voting time again(municipal elections)in South Africa. We all know how important it is to do so or so they(politicians)say. but i guess it's kinda important because of the rich history of our country being able to not only survive but also prospure from apartheid and the struggle. so that we the youth of South Africa can have a brighter and better future.If not for anything else i say just go vote in appreciation to everybody that fought for our FREEDOM.

Leka News

I received very good, actually great news today. It goes as follows: My tuition fees for my final year of studies is an exhausting amount which i am suppose to pay back when i find a job. But thanks to the President when i graduate at the end of the year, that amount will be converted into a bursary.How awesome is that dude.

Im so Happy and this is motivating me to work even harder.

Cheers.

Winter Days

Hey People,

Finally my second best season is on its way to Cape Town; Yes Winter. Some people love it, like me, some people cannot tolerate it. I enjoy the winter season as it in some way force you to spend more time at home with the family, watching movies, drinking hot chocolate and most importantly for me, sleeping late because my holiday will start soon.

On the other hand, Cape Town has recently displayed very radical seasons by raining and windy conditions the one day and the next day the sun comes shining again. Anyway, embrace the winter days because it only comes once a year.

Cheers.

Exam Stress

It has come to that time of the year when most students are faced with late nights, high caffeine doses, stressful moods etc. Yes! EXAMS...some people reckon that you get use to it after a while. I totally disagree. You can never get use to it because each exam is different: some will be harder than others, some will require you to learn more content than others and the most challenging exams will expect you to apply the content you have learnt to real life situations.

Here are my top five tips for exam stress:

1. Plan your time

2. Test yourself

3. Stick notes around the house or your room

4.Ask for help if you don not understand a concept

5.Exercise and eat properly.

Good Luck.
