TIPS TO MAN UP IN YOUR LATE TWENTIES.

Image
Late twenties is an interesting stage in life, if Life is Nairobi, late twenties is definitely Tom Mboya soo much to do with soo little space…Kimathi street is the menopause, so much has already been achieved. At late twenties you have many tricky balances to make, soo much baggage from college, hordes of expectations and an ego to pamper. At this stage, some of your age mates are already running stuff in town while others have migrated to some rural town to work for the water and sewerage companies or Equity bank-no offense Walter. At late twenties, you should have risen above waiting for ‘Nganyas’ in the matatu stage.Thats too high school, age should have taught you that Matatus exist to move people from point A to B not to offer entertainment. And while at it, you better start in dentifying pubs outside city centre. It’s time to realize that those who cut big deals drink in Hurligham, Mombasa road and the enigmas like Wambugu’s, Tamasha and Njuguna’s. It’s embarr

Tupac Shakur Performs "Live" at Coachella

Image
Talk of the dead coming to life right in front of your eyes. Yes, that is what the US music festival Coachella presented when Tupac's hologram performed "live" on stage in front of thousands of fans.   Tupac Shakur, a rapper has been dead since 1996 where he was murdered in some shooting. The high-definition projection of the gangsta rapper's image stood shirtless and incredibly life-like, from his signature tattoos, down to his Timberland boots and jewellery, exchanging lyrics ( Hail Mary , Come With Me , Gangsta Party ) with Snoop Dogg.  After a five-minute performance, Tupac's image is seen scattering and dissolving into the darkness.  The stunt has generated a wave of social media debate that had Tupac trending worldwide on Twitter with about 40 mentions a minute . As I watched the video, I couldn't help but become nostalgic as my mind raced back to the times I couldn't resist shaking my head to the beat of his music regardless of where I was.

Another Pastor Falls Off God's Wagon

Image
And the saga concerning our pastors continues.... According to some investigations done by a local radio station, one popular Pastor with an equally popular church purportedly drove into a restaurant with a woman and it appeared that he was very drunk. He was reported to have started arguing with the woman right from the moment he got out of his vehicle at the parking lot into the restaurant. Once inside, the argument continued until the staff had no choice but to order them out.  On stepping outside, again the argument got quite heated to a point where the Pastor and the woman started fighting. Yeah right!! While driving into the restaurant, the security guards had noticed the reckless manner in which the Pastor drove and decided to keep an alert. So when one of the guards noticed them fighting at the parking lot, he was obliged to intervene as he figured someone might end up being seriously hurt. Apparently, that was the biggest mistake the guard made because the

Travel Diary: My Matatu Ride Tattletale

Image
Do I like bus/ Matatu rides? Aside from being confined in a moving vessel and lets not forget that you are riding with a bunch of strangers who are conversing loudly in all kinds of manner or just quiet waiting to get to wherever they are going. Do I cringe if somebody sneezes or coughs as I imagine he/she could be ailing from some disease caused by some virus that is incurable and am about to get infected? Let me put it this way, I like to get into a bus/ matatu , sit and shut the hell up until I get to my destination. If you happen to be the social extrovert seated next to me, I am not your specimen for trying out your prowess on how best or quick you can make a stranger you just met pour her heart out to you. The only exception is when I have boarded the vehicle with someone I REALLY know. If I happen to find you inside and I DO KNOW you, then it will be small talk for a few minutes and then zip! I value my peace during my rides to wherever but that is not always the case as I a

Of Bubbly, Mushy, Fuzzy and Other Feelings

Image
We claim to be in love or to love someone but how do we know when we have found love or how do we define this emotion that we would travel to the end of the world just to find it?  We sometimes ditch perfectly good relationships in the hopes of finding more of it or spend the majority of time thinking about, striving, praying, hoping, fantasizing for and yes, even seeing shrinks to affirm that you are probably about to get your wish fulfilled.   So how do we know for certain that we have it?"  Is it when we experience that initial rush of lust and excitement, the butterflies-in-our-stomach feeling that happens just at the mere sound of our lover's voice, the trembling and breathless moment when we think about him/her, or when we can’t seem to think straight because our lover is occupying more than half of our thoughts? We also know that these feelings come and go and sometimes we ask ourselves if we are still in love when the feeling goes.   Love and being in love are

Are Kenyan Girls Loose?

I sit on my desk, reading the post (link attached below), my heart pounding, not out of excitement but indignation at what the post is talking about. This is the umpteenth time I am reading (and have heard numerous complaints) about the issue and it has always left me disappointed and wondering when we ladies are going to style up and do something about it. We talk about how our men should do this, do that, to earn our respect and love but I guess we could be the problem they act in the way they do towards us. Men are also not blameless as they have encouraged and taken full advantage of the situation because they have discovered they get away with a lot of stuff and do not have to do much to get what they want. I aint no saint but I always feel sad when someone within their rights generalizes the whole issue making me one of those that are talked about in this post. I hate the way we all have opted to live, always putting on a public show that we got it all going on yet in real tru

Women Are Naive Flirts

Image
First and foremost, lets look at what Flirting (or coquetry ) is all about. It is a playful alluring or sexual overture by one person to another subtly indicating an interest in a deeper relationship with the other person, and can involve verbal communication as well as body language. A female flirt is referred to as a coquette and a male one a womanizer or 'player'. Flirting usually is an indirect expression of sexual interest as most direct approaches are met with a lot of scornful disapproval and frowns. Flirting using body language may be done by twisting or flicking the hair, eye contact, patting, brief hug, closeness etc. while flirting by verbal communication is mainly achieved through the tone of voice. Will and Jada in a flirtatious pose So how are women perceived as naive flirts? This is because most of them tend to be oblivious of the effect they are generating through their little deeds. A woman may be talking to a man and at the same time fluttering h
