BELIEVE

When only the lunatic can forge a safe path forward,
and the genius mind is tortured with illusions of perfection,
only to end up going round in circles.

With truth shinning lights in the hearts of those who believe,
and the minds of the none believers scald in denial and deceit but...
will you doubt forever...
even when the signs clearly distinguishes the illusions of fiction from reality.

Open your eyes little darling  to the soul of purity,
Let those wings open wide enough to catch the draft of the truth.
Believe little darling, BELIEVE!

Little Joys.

What makes you smile... well I came to find out that the littlest of thing make me happy, for instance, since I started working I have found myself leaning toward flowers, I have never been a fun of flowers though lately, I pluck a few from the garden outside my office building and place them on my desk almost daily, it sucks that by the end of the day that they will die, or get destroyed but the one thing that makes me smile is just looking at the flowers, today I put one in my hair and I feel good, and look good, check me out...

I have to say I feel good, I did this little thing that makes me so happy and radiant, I gotta say I feel hotter than a solar flare... but seriously, I love the fact that a flower in my hair makes me happy. What I would say to you my reader is that do not forget to do what makes you happy as an individual, it may be big or small but at the end of the day, it is all you, and you should do what makes you happy. Look at Miley, she is doing her thing and loving it.

The little joys mean more than you could ever know.

Be grateful.

In the last few days i have come to to value life to a whole new level. Each day that you wake up you should be grateful, being a christian myself, I tent to sway toward my God every time that I think that I should not have made it through 'this'I have. Whatever higher power you believe in... remember to be grateful for all that you have,
Have a great day.

Jay-Walkers Guide to Nairobi.

Just so we are clear, Every1 in Nairobi Jay-Walks! For those who do not know what Jay-walking is...

'...refers to illegal or reckless pedestrian crossing of a roadway.' Wikipedia.

so you see we all do it, in a day i think i j walk about 50 times or so, I wonder with the new lights being installed all over Nairobi, will they ticket jay-walkers too? just in case they do not say that they will ticket us... (cause we all know that you follow a law to a point, you should really, but unless there is a negative repurcation to not following the law, then , we rarely follow the law, True?... be honest.)

So here is your guide to Nairobi city;

• Do not cross in front of a Citi Hopper bus, KBS bus, Unified Poa bus, Metro Trans bus, or any PSV (Public Service Vehicle)... even if there is a zebra-crossing, especially if there is no light telling you to go, they will hit you, i swear! They have this law, 'mwenye nguvu mpishe.' - Let the strong pass. So puny you against 17tonnes (approximate) is not so bright.
• Do not cross main highways, IE Thika road... unless you are using the overpass (Genius!) Be bright, give your self  a fighting chance, come on, do some physics, MASS*VELOCITY= A LOT OF HURT! If you are going to jaywalk, pick your roads carefully, Little one way roads will work you wonders in perfecting your jaywalking. Just saying. 
• Wear bright colours. Neon pink, green and yellow are awesome! What you want is to illuminate. You know why, the brighter you dress, the higher your fighting chance. Dark colours means that that tired, overworked driver will not see your goth-like self walking the road, and that means... you know what...
• Look right then left then right again before crossing the road. I know you remember something like that you were taught in kindergarten, yes you do... you just ignore it, In Nairobi, the cars may be driven on the wrong lane, going in the wrong direction, you feel me, so be sure to Look right then left then right again, and it does not hurt to confirm again, and again that there is no vehicle coming your way.
• Pay attention to what you are doing, is crossing the road!, you can listen to your music later or call that person latter, trust me when i say that you always have time, how long will it take you to cross a road really, so put your gadget away and cross relatively safely. 

But all in all, follow the rules, cross at a Zebra crossing, walk on the right side of the  road. Stay safe. As cliche as this may sound, You Only Live Once.

Different View of the World. Kenya's Unsung Heroes.

Since getting ma new glasses, am seeing the world in a whole new light! Really...

So today I want to appreciate the unsung heroes...

• Yule mama wa mboga. In every hood in urban Kenya, there is the lady or man who wakes up at three o'cloak t o go to the market and buy greens so that they can sell it to lazy you and me, these people work so hard just to make sure that at the end of the day you have a plate of greens on you table.
• That canjo worker. I know we do not appreciate these city council workers, if we did we would not be throwing away sweet wrappers all over thinking that they disolve into the air or something... do you know how much a city council worker in Kenya gets paid... and their working hours... FIND OUT!
• Mboch wenu. I can not sayenough about how much people  misstreat their house keepers, I have heard of house girls who even wash underwear for the woman of the house, really, have we become so inhuman to the point where common decency is unheard of?! Appreciate your house keeper, give them offs, gifts, incentives... you know the deal, do not ignore 'the deal'.
• Kale ka watchie. This goes to those who drive, we all know that watchman who sits at the corner street and watches your car when you go around in the city spending money, and then after you get back, you give him 'ka-mbao' (twenty shillings), comeon! Really, if that ka watchie was not there someone would have jacked your side mirror, see how much that is worth... twenty bob?
• Makanga wenu. The work of a tout is quite difficult, I can't imagine yelling the whole day. They help us board the bus if you have heavy load, they make us laugh with their wit, they smile at you.... talk about harsh working conditions, they stand all day, snack for lunch and start early and end their day pretty late, not to mention no off days! kubali, that jobo is hard. They deserve some 'hongera!'.
• Walimu. Teachers are really something special. Imagine how difficult you were as a kid, and then omeone took their time to mold you, naughty, rude, ungrateful you into a successful responsible adult... correction the stuck-up-son-of-a-gun you are right now.Go back and drop some pizza or what not, say thank you.
• Nurses. What can I say, we all know how whack a job they do, clean shit up like they love it, Aki, kwanza if you have ever been in hospital... you know....
• Garbage collecters. Mapipani.... no one belongs there! they collect your trash, sort it, burn or recycle, bow down, I can't do that. Imagine sorting through trash... someone else's trash. I appreciate you guys GCs. 

So people, moral of the story, be nice. Be good to each other, say thank you... TRY! be patient with others, and do the right thing at the right time, with the right tool, and to the right people... get it?

Stay safe.

Jus' saying.

Am all smiles today, i woke up all smiley and happy, though i got that good old headache... blame poverty and the cold conditions, i can say that its safe to say that today is a smashing day. If you meet me today and i can't help but laugh, don't read much into it, Furahi day is around the corner and i can not help but wonder what to do, what to do.... Mmmhhh.

Take a drive outta town... uh, i don't own a car...

Go out, am dead broke...

Watch a movie, that i can do... my plans this weekend include a bowl of home made popcorn, a jug of coke, and the TV... unless anyone can offer me more, am sticking to this plan.

Gor Terror!

Football in Kenya has become a phenomena that girls... or rather ladies in Kenya are just not interested in.... Let me put it this way, we are interested in the game, i ONCE  watched a football game that I have to admit I really, honestly did enjoy the game. This was when I was in high school and I think I even told myself that I would be watching football...

And then came the horror stories...

"When you go for a game they will rob you of all you have."

"Aki the guys at those games are ruthless, they will knock you down and I can assure you, chivalry is dead in Kenya, i swear!"

"Even before the game is over Gor fans go crazy and loot the place, si I was scared. And they won!"

After hearing all this, i was so scared to the point where I did not ever plan to go for any football game played in Kenya, EVER!

Pushed me away from football completely, to the point that i became a die hard fun of Rugby, and those shorts! Ayayaiii! So unless football fans step up and stop acting like uncouth brute, the LADIES of Kenya will stick to Rugby and other SAFE board games, I.e cheese, scrabble and so on...

A reason to love Africa... CULTURE.

I come bearing news, despite the face that every other day in the media you see people in Africa killing each other over little quarrels, men opting for 'beastiality' rather than the overload of beautiful voluminous African mamas running around all over this planet, here's a reason to pick Africa...

Not that I am speaking from a very patriotic (Kenyan citizen...) point of view. We have culture in the overload. Get me right, especially if you have been to Kenya and found your way to the Masaai market, or that beaches in Mombasa, you missed out, you should come back and ask me to show you the real Kenya. Culture by definition is the

'the quality in a person or society that arises from a concern for what is regarded as excellent in arts, letters, manners, scholarly pursuits, etc.' 

 

Que, when you found yourself in Kenya did you go to any rural village where you interacted with locals who have not been influenced by urbanization. When you come to Africa did you stay at The Intercontinental. or at The Sarova Stanley and then boarded a flight to Mombasa of Kisumu or whichever other destination only to spend countless hours inside a tent reading a novel or looking at the stars or worse taking photos of snakes. News, you should have stayed where you are from... what is the use of visiting a county only to spend all you time couped up within the norm. Live a little, love a little, and just so you know, not every African wants to steal from you or have your babies, just saying. There are over 42 tribes in Kenya, I.e,

 

'Kenya is home to a large number of ethnic groups, including the Kikuyu (the largest single group at around 22%), the Luo, and the Maasai. The population included three of the four major linguistic groups found in Africa: Bantu (approximately 67%), Nilotic (30%) and Cushitic (around 3%).' 

 

This is a gold mine of knowledge and culture, explore that. I can assure you that every tribe is unique and rich enough to quench a lot of your lack. News enough?!

Insomnia.

I  woke up at 2am this morning, maybe it was the mean hunger pan renting my stomach or just the mere thought that I was suppose to be doing something else rather than sleep, but damned as hell, there was  no way that I was getting an eye shut. So I went and made a meal… poor-man’s-spaghetti. That I would say is when you fry some onion, tomato, chili and spaghetti up cuz you have nothing else to accompany the meal with… I have to say being broke at almost all times is slowly getting to me.

I read the books with the kids with trust funds and wish that I had one, don’t get me wrong, I would invest the shit out of that money but at the end of the day, I would not have a carb-fest as a meal. Feel me. So as unemployment takes me on a roller-coaster of utter boredom, ingenious idea formation processes inferno terrible thoughts on life, sheer joy, hopelessness, dedication to the art of coach-potatoing, eye damage, and utter self-loathing. I will seize it with pride and hustle on, for I feel that this is my year. 2013…. I make you my bitch! (Even if the year is half gone!)

Africa Rocks, dont be lied to. pt 1

Hallo world,

Today I campaigning for Awesome Africa. I have to say that i do not like the portrayal of Africa in movies. I am born and raised in Africa, Kenya to be exact, I like it... correction, I love it. I did not grow up in an affluent home. Am good with how i was brought up, had a roof over my head and i have to say, our neighbors were not lions! That's just TV lies... and i did learn how to swim in pool and not a river... though I have to admit that i had my share of river swimming, (duf mpararo!) what, it was fun when hanging out with cousins. I went to a good school, not a bush school... i think that the stereotype that African children are dying should be abolished.

Not all African kids are dying. Some are busy throwing away food, instead of raising money and sending it to Africa to help the 'dying children', why not help in the redistribution of food within the continent. Just saying.

And that series Strike Back... you lying ... um, that's not Kenya! We ain't got palm trees in Nairobi, and in case you haven't noticed, every1 in Africa is not pitch black... Just saying.

Aliens coming to take over earth... run for your life, urrrgggGGG!

On the topic of aliens... it is ALWAYS SAID that they will come (if they are not here already). We live waiting for them to come, and in every tale told, they come and they are the bad guys because they have come to inhabit our planet because for some reason their planet is dying, or their sun is dying or their moon is falling on their 'earth', or some their-God-forsaken apocalypse is starting and i am always wondering why is it that their sun dies first, kwani what makes theirs die faster that ours, if they are as advanced a race as we think they are then should they not have fixed the problem with their universe before they choose to run off to another whole universe. Make sense?

The way i see it the human species is as damn as it gets, we know that we destroy the universe more and more every day by doing all that we do on a daily basis (i won't get into details, you know what you do...) and we go on, even our brightest of brains seem not to care so much, they believe that you can destroy the environment to a degree.
BIG BRAINED SCIENTIST: (Use a deep stupid buffoon voice while reading this part) I am a big brained scientist... OH... and i drive a very fast LOADSA fuel consuming car... but recycle ma plastic bottles, and then a while later realize that reusing some plastics will give me cancer, so scrap that all together.
Wow, its like dealing with Pinocchio during his lying phase. Any way, what i needed to say, i have said. Know where you stand. Do not sit on the god-damned fence. Oh and when the aliens come if they aint already here we will send then back ki-transformers.

Chilly weather should not be in Africa!

I've got to say this Africa should not have chilly weather. We are seriously not built for this. I could swear the blood in my veins is iced up, i am moving real slow! I blame global warming.

As the cold chips through my bones, I take this opportunity to say... not whine, but respectfully say damn its cold! A hot cup of cocoa, as most would say takes the cold chill away, again, I respectfully disagree, a nice full body cuddle with the one you claim to share a heart among other thing with would work wonders at this moment... so all the jobless coach potatoes out there, cuddle up under a blankie, put a movie on, enjoy each others warm company... just don't let it get too hot if you know what i mean...

Personally, I will get underneath a blankie and think about a warm cuddle. If you are at work trying to built this here nation... happy thoughts. Don't worry i have just the idea in mind. Some mild office flirtation with your colleagues will help... just know the limits of the flirt.

Death.

Hey y'all,

The topic of death is one i hate dealing with. I hate death, if it were up to me, I would make sure that we all live forever and never die, and if we 'die' we are completely wiped from each others memory because lets face it, how does on say goodbye, or get closure. I really have no clue. It's hard to watch the people we love suffer because of death, but what to do. That's what life is. We live, we die, some die earlier, some later in life, but all in all, one way or another we all are headed toward it.

I take this chance to pray for the soul of one taken too soon, David Imani Machoka. I pray for his family, may they find peace in this trying time. God be with you.

An Ethiopian Wedding Reception.

Birthday surprises.

When its your pals b-day and you are tying to surprise them and they keep asking, 'What has my boyfriend planned for my b-day?' and you have to lie to them and tell them that you have no idea what is being planned... you feel bad that you are lying to them but you feel even worse that you want to actually lock them in a closet of sorts so that you can make sure that the surprise b-day thingy goes according to plan... Urg! I feel mind is going to explode literally, am so glad that birthdays are once a year, and that i plan only a few b-day celebrations, hail all event planners, i respect your craft.

Friends.

Lets talk friends, a friend of mine once told me that true friends are the ones who are always there even when you do not want them to, they take your stuff without borrowing, they feel at home in your place more than they do, get really angry for you (extremely angry!) they always find a way to piss you off... but believe you me, you always come back, and they always come back, cuz at the end of the day you love them, and they you.

Ask yourself, if you ever killed some1, and had to bury the body (God forbid!), who would you call. The person you think about is probably your closest friend, cuz lets admit that that's a whole load of skeleton! And if you are willing to share the skeleton with a person, then surely you trust them, you can call them, 'my person'.

Find your true pals, do not trust a wolf in sheep skin. I came to learn that water can be thicker than blood, if you know what i mean.

Shallow minds.

Hey ya'll,
Its been a while, am great. I have been up and about... seen things, heard things... done things, needless to say, its been a WHILE.

i needed to share this, so this weekend i attended a friends birthday party and this conversation happened at some point in the night between my sister and a certain unmentionable, lets call her B1 i.e BITCH NO 1,

(B1 is playing rock music off her phone when sister approaches her.)
Sister:        Hey, do you have some metal.
B1:           You listen to metal?!
Sister:       Yeah. Why?
B1:           So which cult are you in?!
Sister:       None!
B1:           It's only a matter of time, don't talk to me!

I was amazed by how shallow this girl was just because my sister listens to metal, she is in cult?! Wow, and the girl is a university graduate, to think education and experiencing diverse cultures through the education systems is suppose to enlighten folk.

I was pissed, but now, i feel that she is just shallow, that is why i will gladly call her a shallow bitch with an attitude from hell to say the least.

Sad World.

The world can be a sad place. I really was heartbroken when i heard the news of the Boston marathon. It hurts to think that most people involved in these marathons are peace loving philanthropists who most of the times run to raise money for a cause. The person who planted that bomb is a heartless individual. It sucks that the world could have such selfish people. I pray for those hurt i the bombing, their families and friends, and those who died for their souls to rest and that their families and friends find peace. And finally that justice be served.

Careful what you pray for.

Hey,
i was charting with a pal on the phone yesterday and i actually realized something.... God actually gives you what you ask for. Its no secrete that i read the 50 Shades of grey. So i got so carried away i decided that i want a guy who is just like Christian Grey... Loving, and rich and who will only have eyes for me. of course without the 'kinky fuckery'... so i decided to pray on it.and two weeks after praying on it... i meet a guy at a local bar. He asked for ,my number and i gave him. We chatted for a while, like 3 weeks and then i finally agreed to go out on a date with the guy.

The date started well, i looked great in a little black dress and knee high boots. i was fashionably late... he did not mind. the date was fine, he seemed like a nice guy, but things took a turn when he started mentioning rules. He said that i should stop eating fries, did not believe me when i said that i only had fries once a week. Then came a whole other list of rules, then i told him that i would forget them and he said that he would send me  a memo of the rules to out dating... and i started to think.. who does this guy remind me of.... CHRISTIAN GREY! That was my queue to run like crazy...

So be careful what you pray for. Now i want a Gabriel... from Gabriel's Inferno...

Lonnng Day!

Hey, every bone in my body hurts. It has been a long day. I spent today helping my friend's family with a get together. It was okay until we decided to put a lot of water in a chapati mixture n ended up cooking at least 500 chapatis![It took 7hrs] I have never wanted to die so much as i did today. So i have spent my whole day in-front of a 'jiko' roasting with my chapatis at temperatures only an inferno can relate to. Word, I don't think i need to shave for some time... the hair on my body i swear burnt off. And, to make matters , not worse but more tricky, i have just arrived home, taken a well earned shower, plaster my beautiful *** on ma bed to blog... and the light just went out. I really wanted to watch a movie! [old laptop... weak battery... long story] guess I will go to sleep now, its what 7pm... is midnight somewhere... aya yai! I need a drink!

Self Esteem

Today I got a lesson in self esteem. My friend told me that I spend most of my days belittling myself... she said that she wished that i could see myself through her eyes and maybe... I would finally understand my worth. I felt bad. Honestly i had never though about it this much. I spent a lot of my time counting what has gone wrong this week... how much weight have i gained... how many more pimples have emerged on my face this week... how short has my hair gotten lately... how ugly do I feel this week...

I realize that instead of counting my blessings, i spend much of my days counting my friends blessing, to the point where they notice. If there is one thing that i would wish for was that I could start over, more confident in myself, but I cant. But one day, i believe i will, but for now, am done wining. I will look at this here world in a different light. lets see if the vixen in me will shine bright like a gem, rock the shit outta life!

Rocking Natural Hair.

The new trend is rocking the natural texture of your hair... it may prove difficult but minasan [Ladies and Gentlemen] (Where else will i get to show off my VERY VERY VERY little Japanese)... I have the answer. If you want to rock your African kink and do not know how... cuz your hair freezes fast and forms a cotton candy like ball on your head... read on...

Personally i have very curly African hair, I blow-dry it and i give it six hours and it curled up and is in a bun... don't believe me... check it out...

So i came up with this thing... i wash my hair, with shampoo, a mild brand and condition it, comb it through with the conditioner... (you know the drill) the rinse off. After that when the hair is still wet, i plait matuta (braid) or lines/cornrows (Huge ones to create large curls). You can also use rollers, to achieve the same result. Then i let the hair dry naturally or blow with a blow drier. Or let the hair stay like that over night. When you feel ready, undo the cornrows or matuta (Braid) and oil your hair, your hair will have beautiful curls at this point. Do not comb it, use the pointed end of a jelly comb and just run it through to separate the curls and rock your hairdo. You can put a clip on the sides, or wear a band, of even rock the Afro... your choice.I do this all the time.and never have to worry that the wind will mess ma hair (the do is very resilient to climate changes... I swear!)

PS, this hair do in Nairobi,Kenya is called Ethiopian and it cost a whooping 2000 Kenya shillings to get a a high-end salon in the city.

Hey ya'll,
I picked up Japanese, i got an in for classes at the Japanese embassy and am HAPPY! Its great i have to say to be able to experience a new culture for free... Hail the language gods where they are... Am ecstatic.

So any1 interested in learning a new language, think Japanese, especially if you know Swahili... i have  a grand example, nani in Swahili means Who, in Japanese, nani means What. Crazy huh... so many similarities in terms of syllables and pronunciation, i would not shy away from saying that. I really enjoy my classes and believe that the Japanese language is awesome! (ask any! who watches anime!)

If you are interested, (and live in Kenya) check out,

Broken.

In the last few days, I have felt the love of a true friend, the loathing is a chimera, I found out secrets kept from me... not intentionally but because of fear my reaction to knowing them. I have felt extremes that I think I may never understand but one thing for sure, it has changed me. One can never know the one thing that is meant to break them until it actually happens.

I thought that it would be the secrets... I was wrong. How i feel, I believe if i meant to know something, i will learn it when i am meant to. take your sweet time, but lie to me... about something I am passionate about, lie that you love me so that i live the dream instead of prepping myself for a night terror if plane heartless. Sad.

Let me spend the next few hour doing what i have been doing the last few days hopping that listening to Justin Timberlake... not the other lesbian man child J.B... Mirror blares in the buds that are my earphones, take it away Justin...

Aren't you somethin' to admire, cause your shine is somethin' like a mirror
And I can't help but notice, you reflect in this heart of mine
If you ever feel alone and the glare makes me hard to find
Just know that I'm always parallel on the other side

Cause with your hand in my hand and a pocket full of soul
I can tell you there's no place we couldn't go
Just put your hand on the glass, I'll be tryin' to pull you through
You just gotta be strong
 Cause I don't wanna lose you now
I'm lookin' right at the other half of me
The vacancy that sat in my heart
Is a space that now you hold
Show me how to fight for now
And I'll tell you baby, it was easy
Comin' back into you once I figured it out
You were right here all along
It's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me
I couldn't get any bigger
With anyone else beside of me
And now it's clear as this promise
That we're making two reflections into one
Cause it's like you're my mirror
My mirror staring back at me, staring back at me...

How I Feel

Today i got my hair shaved off,
cut with a razor, the trucks still fresh,
the shame seen by all at my baptism.

I got stubbed in the ribs,
he took the time to find the right one,
the one that would heart the most.


I got my rib yanked out
just to show me how far I've fallen,
he studded in the foot with it.

Today he took my life,,
ripped out of my heart,
fed to me by own.

"Today my love... you broke my heart."

The Chinese 'invation'.

hey, i was thinking... while the UK is taking over the entertainment industry.... the Chinese are taking over Africa. From someone in Africa i can say its true. A few years ago there were very few Asians in Kenya, but lately at every turn i see a group.

I don't mind really, they have really helped to improve the road networks in the country, i appreciate, i just wonder the price my country has to pay for the help we get from Asia. What don't the people. i thought it was just Kenya but after watching the news i realized that it the whole continent... or rather we area headed there.

today the Chinese president is going to Congo, after South Africa... an d before that Tanzania... and at every stop deals were made with the aim to help African countries to rise in the development ranks. It great that Asia considers Africa in its development plan, but still i ask, what the price... what gives. 

The Illusion; Romantic novels

GOOD MORNING... OR EVENING... and so on depending on where the good Lord decided to place u on this here planet. I was thinking about books, I recently picked up reading, (like in the last three months) and i have to say that i would pick a romantic novel ten times over any other genre of work... don't get me wrong, my aim is not to appear shallow, or of little brain capacity, but after my encounter with the likes of Jodi Thomas and her kind, I finally joined the wagon.

Romantic novels were all the rage in the early 1980s, but ask any NORMAL girl what novel they would read from cover to cover... (tell them to be honest) ... they will HONESTLY tell you, a romantic novel. Personally I spend at least Ksh. 1000 every fortnight getting myself a new romantic novel and i enjoy them thoroughly, why... because such men to not exist in this day and era, unless you are talking fiction, i can list a gazillion or so.

Clearly we ladies are obsessed with the illusion of the perfect specimen of a man, the man with the perfect jaw line, soft pink lips (somehow always parted), dark mysterious eyes that we could look into forever, gun-shows for arms... perfect abs.. tall drink of water... ayayaiii! You feel me.

But by God, I will not forget the one novel that shocked me to bits, Fifty Shades of Grey. What! I read all three books within a span of three weeks and I have to say that am a different girl, I have grown a mile, and would never ever EVERRR fall for the illusion that is a picture perfect man. Just saying, the prettier, the more arrogant, sadistic, heartless, thoughtless the man... and visa v. So ladies, remember, that man in that book is an illusion, and if you find one, like him walking and talking to ya, run! Save yourself!
