I am so proud to be Kenyan. I still have this fuzzy feeling in me. All brought about by the energy the cheering fans put into it.
Met some people I havent seen for like five years too!

She's not dead!!!

2006-06-06T21:05:00.000+01:00

We called the boys in blue jana evening.....you see the mama in pink and white, she saw that lady in town juzi. It still stinks and honestly it feels like a morgue that is bila power. The cops were ready to smash the door down. They only stopped coz that woman in pink had seen her. Now we're waiting for the council guys to check it out.

Is my neighbour dead?

2006-06-05T07:54:00.000+01:00

Guys I think one of my neighbours has died in her flat. No one has seen her for over a week and there is very bad adour coming from under her door.

We have reported this to the city council, who have done nothing about it so far. I am thinking I should call the police or something. We were talking to the other neighbours about it but they reckon her pet might have died, and that she might have gone away.

will keep you posted....

Right now am kinda scared of even going past her door. What is it with the dead that scares me?

I went to see Kenya play rugby at Twickenham on the weekend. will post pics by tomorrow. might I just say that am very proud of those boys. I sang my heart out!

Where is God when it Hurts?

2006-05-04T23:23:00.000+01:00

I'm reading this book 'where is God when it hurts' by Philip Yancey. I have found it to be very insightful. It was recommended by my friend the kenyananalsyt and now I recommend it to you. If you'r going through any kind of hurt be it physical or psychological , this book is for you. If you have a relative who is hurting in any way, again this book is for you!

I have taken a couple of exracts just to wet your apetite....mind this book is from a christian perspective.

"However deep the pit, God's Love is deaper still"

Why do relationships break when a couple encounters a crisis like illness?

"When a couple encounters a crisis, it magnifies what's already present in the relationship. Since Claudia and I happened to love each other deeply, and had worked on open communication, the crisis drove us to each other. Feeling of blame and anger against each other did not creep in. The crisis of illness merely brought to the surface and intensified feeling already present."

According to John the best way to prepare for suffering is to work on a strong, supportive life when you're healthy. You cannot suddenly fabricate foundations of strength; they must have been building all along.

The above extract got me thinking about my relationship with God. When I encounter crisis do I suddenly withdraw from Him or do I draw closer to Him?
This book will get you thinking and it will blow your mind. Please please read it. It will help you know what to say and what not to say when visitng the sick in hospital or even when dealing with a sick relative.

Let me not preEmpt the whole thing!

read 1 corinthians 13

"How do I help those who hurt?" The answer is "how do I Love?"

Sharia Law

2006-05-03T08:19:00.000+01:00

A teenage Somali boy has stabbed to death his father's killer in a public execution ordered by an Islamic court. Large crowds gathered at a Koranic school in Somalia's capital, Mogadishu, to watch Mohamed Moallim, 16, stab Omar Hussein in the head and throat. Hussein had been convicted of killing the boy's father, Sheikh Osman Moallim, after a row about Mohamed's education. Islamic courts have brought a semblance of order to Mogadishu, imposing Sharia law after years of rule by warlords. Under Sharia law those who commit murder are punishable by death. Hussein was tied to a stake and had his head covered by a bag ahead of his execution. He shouted "There is no God but Allah" as Mohamed Moallim stepped up to take his revenge. Speaking afterwards, the boy said he felt satisfied that Hussein was dead. "I am happy now because I killed the man who killed my father," he told the Reuters news agency. The execution marked the first time the local court in the Bermuda district of Mogadishu had handed down a death penalty, local media reported. Residents in the nearby area have reported a drop in robberies, murder and general lawlessness since the court began its work, Radio HornAfrik said.

This telly was dumped at the entrance of our flats....there was a small music system and vcr too.....

What a break!

2006-04-05T18:53:00.000+01:00

I finally went for my long awaited break to Switzerland.....
I'll wont floss about anything but allow me to tell you that I had such a good time! it started off with my long journey to heathrow where i waited for around five hours....I was late in booking my transport to heathrow so was forced to take the ealier national express.
The worst part of the whole break was the flying part. Unlike Guess I absolutely hate take offs and landing. I get so nervous the people around me can tell, they even give me a sorry look but I'd rather they let me squeeze their hand instead.

Landed at zurich and found my host waiting, that was good for a change. Normally when I fly anywhere I have to find my way to the address given. It is an adventure but was really nice seeing a friendly face especially coz me no speak German or French By the way whats with the Swiss? They dont have their own lingo they borrow afew from their neighbours. I was reading through a tour guide on the plane and I found out that they speak German, French, Italian and Romanian etc etc. The first two are widely spoken but my question is, how do they tell if you can speak either of the two. I found it quiet interesting

I would move to switzerland, infact I dont know why I came to England in the first place. That country is clean and the cost of living isnt as bad as over here. I fell in love with it and will most def be going back.

Being the lazy me (read am no tourist) I only managed to do Zurich, Bern and Beil....kwanza when is the last time you ever saw a Bata shop? Imagine they have those in Switzerland! Ihad to take pictures. honestly I couldnt believe what I was seeing.

kbw moment....I met the very sweet Adrian.....ladies and ehhh gents Adrian is the bomb. I spent an afternoon with him and his kenyan friends. I witnessed a taquilla drinking ritual (I have pics but unfortunately cant share them) They treated me like a queen....thanks Adrian...see I promised not to post your pic!

Sorry I dont have much more to say, I am still tired from all the late nights and hard partying!

One of the ffrogs

2006-03-25T18:48:00.000Z

What if you went to KBW meet up only to discover than your favourite blogger is not just that, but is also an ex.
Not just an ex but an ex you'd rather not see as long as you live! You know that frog before you met that prince/ss

freaky eh?

2006-03-16T20:54:00.000Z

He refused to sleep in the bed we had made for him, so did my bro.....I was so tired from partying I dont know where he lalad

He refused to take a shower....said our bathroom was toooo girly...I pity whoever sat next to him on his way back home.

Thanks guys for the hugs prayers kisses and kind words left in my previous post. Things have slowed down a bit and am going away for four days. Absolutely looking forward...will be flying to switzerland at the end of this month. The worst part is the flying bit ...I hate it but we got to travel dont we?

2006-03-02T12:13:00.000Z

First can I apologise to Milonare for not visiting your blog. I got those threats you left in my previous post in jeng! lol

I am at crossroads in my life, ya'll know I started a bizness last year. I have been working there six days a week. I love working alone but at times when you're desperate for a break and can't have it, it becomes depressing. My mum as some of you may know had a major operation last week and that was especially difficult coz I couldnt be with her as much as I would have loved to. She is now recovering at home and doing very well. I just wish I was able to help her out since the carer I had sorted out had to leave yeasterday.

I am beginning to rethink working alone but when I look at the choices I have (which amount to one) I find myself at crossroads. Ispent such a huge amount of money and have invested alot of time in the biz. On the other hand I feel like one ready to snap! If someone tries to stretch me more than I am already I will snap..honest. Now I can define pressure and probably depression too.

I am considering closing downn and taking a long holiday back in Molo. Yes one month in molo and maybe coast for a week...I have never been there so will be a treat for me.

Those who can pray for me Pray! those who can Hug me by all mean please do!

Before I loose is completely!

am at a public lib so cnt read thru for mistakes so forgive me. I am bila network coz moved house last week. will be back reading your blogs hopefully from a base in molo if not mathare lol

Love you kbw

The christmas period

2006-01-05T22:13:00.000Z

This is going to be a short post!

I chose to spend christmas alone. I was however amazed at how crazy most of my friends thought I was. My mates begged me to go to their digs but I honestly wanted to spend it alone. I enjoyed a quiet christmas and a similar new years eve and day!

In a way I am glad I did. One of my buddies threw a huge bashment where everyone who didnt have anywhere to go was invited. One of my galfriend's sister came from out of town and spent the whole day and night at that bash. On 27th she was taken home so she could make a dentist appointment. When she finally got home from the dental checkup she sort of felt faint and some guys who were just entering her building drove her back to hosi.
She never regained Consciousness! The hospital managed to get hold of her exe, he made it there just as she was dying. They had a less than two year old daughter who was then taken by social services. Imagine that guy let them knowing that that is actually his child!
Everyone who went to that bash is having sleepless nights and they are all in shock. When the phone call came in, her sister was watching the video from the bash.
Her body will be transported to Kenya in afew days. I'm glad I didnt make that bash coz I would be in a worse of state.

She died of heart failure and she was so young.

On the same day another Kenyan died 30miles from where I live. Since the 27th five kenyans have died in the Uk.

Live a healthy life style this year!

Happy New Year Beautiful people!

An answered prayer!

2005-12-07T18:31:00.000Z

Afew months ago my friend came to my workplace and shared with me the worst news. She had just tested HIV+ I expected her to be down in the pits, on the contrary she was all positive and told everyone to play it safe.

Can I say that she is 40yrs old and has only had two sexual partners all her life. From what she told me I think her ex hubby must have brought the disease home. Her first who is the father of her 13yr old daughter was a faithful guy. Lakini her exe hubby was not a one woman man. Ontop of that he used to beat her up ..thats why they got divorced three years ago.

To cut a very long story short, she went for a second test and now she is HIV- When she told me that today I didnt know what to say but thanks you God! We prayed together and number of people have prayed for her too . She believed that she would get healed and indeed she has received her healing.

Her doctor advised her to keep on with the medication and expressed his astonishement. She will be going for another test soon.
Please pray!

Savary lesson

By ANDREW DILLON

PETER DE SAVARY learned his first tough lesson in football as new Millwall chairman last night.

The colourful tycoon watched his gutsy Lions crash out of the Carling Cup after taking Premiership strugglers Birmingham to penalties.

But De Savary also saw the more unsavoury side of football as minor crowd disturbances cast a shadow over a pulsating cup tie.

Five Brum fans were arrested and the tea bar in the away stand shut down when staff suffered abuse from visiting supporters.

Five minutes into the match around 100 Lions supporters ripped up security netting and charged towards the away end.

There was never a chance of rival fans clashing but police had to restore order.

De Savary jetted into London yesterday to kick off his reign as the new supremo at troubled Millwall.

The shipping and hotel tycoon, worth around £34million, put his foot in it by comparing the fans to ‘hordes of under- privileged Africans’.

De Savary said: “Football fans are like disgruntled dockers, stevedores or union members.

You want to find out why you broke up with that girl/boy in the first place? If you want to find out
start dating them again and you'll see!

I have used some really bad excuses to get out of a really bad relationship that seemed fine to the other party. I mean, how do u dump someone you know you dont want to spend another minute with?

What am I saying? Let me dash off to work.

What a Sunday

2005-11-06T20:22:00.000Z

I used to have a car until sometime last month, or is it the month before? Karin'ga rin'ga (the name I'd given my car and for some good reasons too) used to serve me well. It never broke down and never needed servicing! hahahaha!!!! (I know some of you are going like- women!) Lakini this wasnt a case of women and cars, rather a case where my beau used to service itself, clean itself when it rained and almost used to fuel itself LOL! Today I thought about it alot! Why? I'll tell you...

Last week I made plans to travel down to London so I booked me on the National express for today. I had to wake up at 5.30am to make sure I had hot water for my six o'clock shower. Coz am always running late especially where catching buses is concerned. I was running like a mad mythee at around 20 to 7am carrying a huge bag. Got there like ten minutes before departure, got on and settled in my seat still feeling abit hot from the forced by circumstances morning run.

Am a fast driver but I dont over speed! (how?) Its possible people, I hate crawling especially on the motorway. So my eyes are shut trying to sleep (I dont sleep on the bus or even in the car) I think I must have been dreaming about my karin'ga ring'a when I heard a loud bang! The driver had hit a flying object subsequently cracking the wind screen. The driver who in my opinion was driving too fast on a country road decides there is no way he is driving that bus like that. So we pull up at the next village an hour into our journey and makes afew calls and is advised to wait for the delivery of another coach. 45 minutes later a new coach arrives we rush out(has been raining all day today) and jump on it....all excited that finally we are moving on..woo hoo!

Five minutes after departure we are back at the same village we have just left!!!!!!!!!!! Ok this is not funny. The driver wekad the wipers on and discovers one is broken. He stops in the middle of the dual carriageway and trys to mend it...bilas. Makes afew calls, some passengers who are worried they might miss their flights tells the driver to head back to the villlage we just left so they could get on the nine o'clock. I have alot to say to the government (Tony Blair are you listening) I was at a village thats 20mins drive from my place and I got on the bus at 7am. It took me five hours and three different buses to get to my destination. If I had not sold the karin'ga rin'ga...if only!

Anway I made it to London in one tired piece. I bought more stuff than I had anticipated and ended up buying an additional trolley bag. If you were in London today and you saw a chic dragging to bags behind her...eeehh that was me! So I market and I hear some Nigerian woman calling out

Nigerian:Excuse me! excuse me!
Farmgal: (looks back confused, rained on and still getting rained on and wondering who the heck it is. I stop and prop up my bags)
Nigerian: Excuse me! Have you just come from the market?
Farmgal: (not at all amused, directs her eyes on to the heavy bags) yeah
Nigerian: My sister, I have just lost my purse!
Farmgal:(obviously irritated) So!
Nigerian: My sister just open your bags (the rain is getting worse and I have just realised am loosing one wheel on on of the bags) maybe my purse has fallen into one of your bags!
Farmgal: I'm not opening my bags for you...
Nigerian: Please my sister I had some money in the purse...(she is now doing a terro buru dance. No offence intended but she was behaving like someone had died)
Farmgal: I said am not opening my b......
Nigerian2: (we have company, I have two mythees persuading me to open my bag and blocking my path) Please my sister
Farmgal: If you think I have your purse can you call the police...
Nigerian: No need for the police just open your bag (this time one of them is on the phone and I hear suspect)
Farmgal: Suspect! (whooops out her phone and dials 999) Do know the name of this street? (asking nigerians who are both speaking so fast and at the same time that I cant gich non of them)
999: Yes can I help you...
Farmgal: I have two women who are.....
999: fire, ambulance or the Police?
Farmgal: Oh sorry! Police please....(still raining and both women speaking at the same time)
Farmgal: (explains the situation to the Police, has no clue what street am on so I ask a passerby, I relay the info to the copper. The women are still blubbing on and I can hear the cop clearly. He tells me to speak to him) Shut Up am trying to speak tho the police and I cant hear him if you keep on talking to me.
Nigerian: (goes on phone talks to some I only understand Police and they start walking away. either they are illegal in the country or they are thiefs themselves. tring to confuse a heavy laden mamah so they can steal from you)
Farmgal: to the police- They are walking away and I dont think you sending a car will be necessary.
999: Are you sure you are alright and you dont need the police to come down there?
Farmgal: they have disappeared into the market and I feel safe to continue on my journey.
999: Ok m'am
Farmgal: Thank you for your help officer! (I carry on with my drag the bags journey finding afew people here and there to help me carry them heavy bags/one with only one wheel up and down the train station stairs)

Oh I know this is a long blog poleni sana! But I have to say today I got on the tube (the underground trains) since the London bombings. I was abit apprehensive but was fine as soon as I reached my destination. On the way back I was too ticked off/rained on/tired to notice.

Kwani this Nigerian thought she was Micheal Jordan and her purse was a basketball thus making my bag a basketball hoop? How does someone's purse land into your secured bag otherwise...... magic?
Today am sure if I bought a lottery ticket I'd be a millionare kesho! Am so tired am off to bed and hopefully will catch up with you bloggers 2morrow.
I have not read this post thru so any mistakes gramatical or spelling should be blamed on this day!

Terrier blown up by yobs

2005-10-31T20:05:00.000Z

SICK yobs blew a helpless Yorkshire Terrier to bits after tying a firework to it — then took photos on their phones.

The dead animal’s insides were scattered across a road by the force of the blast.

The owners of 11-year-old Emmie last night branded the killers “sick”.

Maureen and Keith Barrington, both 67, said Emmie had bolted from their garden after being scared by fireworks.

Maureen said: “They are sick in the head. They can’t be right because who would want to do that?

“How can they make her suffer and film her and laugh?”

Keith added: “When I found her, my heart sank.

“She had been blown to bits and covered in blood but I knew straight away it was her because of her red collar. We think she ran out into the road and was hit by a car. Then these lads stopped as she lay in the road and blew her up and were taking photographs of her.”

The devastated couple buried Emmie in their garden with her favourite toy in Linthwaite, West Yorks.

Maureen added: “She was lovely and beautiful, and so tiny.

“I hope she was run over and dead before they got to her and did not die that way because I can’t bear the thought of her going through that.

“But whether she was alive or dead, it was an absolutely disgusting thing to do. It is terrible to dismember her body like that.”

A witness took the number plate of the thugs’ car and police plan to prosecute for criminal damage.

The Sun is campaigning with the RSPCA to stamp out animal cruelty.

Keith added: “My wife is just getting over cancer and I’ve had a triple heart bypass — but Emmie was something to live for.”

I read this in the sun and thought how sad!

I Miss My Dad

2005-07-29T22:52:00.000+01:00

I remember in 1982 on the 1st of Aug we were woken up by gun shots. Being kids we jumped from our beds and ran into the street only to see army guys firing in the air from there huge army lorries. Were we afraid? I think so but being so young sort of killed the fear factor, I think we were more amused than afraid.

I remeber how much I hated it in high school when girls would chat non stop about their dads. "My dad this and that" I didnt have much to say since he was taken from us when we were very young and therefore my memory of him is minimal.

I remember him being very generous. During the agricultural show,he let us have as much ice cream as we wanted and even go for as many rides as we could handle. I was a daddy's girl and an ice cream gal my height phobia (which I kinda had to tackle while painting the other week...ladders my friend ladders!) meant that I could not go on any rides whatsoever. The other good thing I remember about my dad is that he started giving me my driving lessons very early in life, he had to otherwise I'd yell the car down hehehe I'd sit on his lap whilst he was driving and as long as my hands were somewhere on the wheel I was happy!(huge baby smile here)

The bad memories are that he used to drink alot becoming violent as a result. I tend to think that if he hadnt passed on prolly he'd have gotten us killed through drink driving. We did once have a major accident just because he wanted to prove to us all that he wasnt that drunk. There must have been like 20 of us (all family) in the mini bus. He was begged not to drive, I dont remember much about the accident but I remember crying out loud at kenyatta hospital coz I was left in a room alone, then a dead man was wheeled in and left there. My screams must have woken the dead. That guy was either a lynch or accident victim. He had lots of dry blood all over his body.

I honestly dont like the month of August very much, I sometimes forget the anniversary of his death (I prefer to forget just like I do my birthday and my friends' and families') until afew days after the 1st of Aug. It's easier when I remember after the date on which we assume he died than before. The one coming up, well I remembered before. This is very a difficult moment for me, its going to be 23year since he passed on, died by the gun through his chest. On fateful day I remember him coming out of the house shouting for us to get back indoors and to stay clear of the windows, then he left...that was it! We never saw him alive again and my mum then a young mother and his brothers had to go through the hospitals and morgues to find his body then smuggle everyone to the village for his burial. (travelling was tricky then with a ban on movement) Then she lost everthing my dad owned to greedy family.

My worst memory of the whole coup period was seeing a man's body being hurled from the top of a building cause of lack of resources or cops being lazy. That image will never escape my mind and the sound it made when it landed on the earth below. Hope thats not what happened to my dad, I prefer to think he was shot and fell in a ditch somewhere.

I laughed and played through most of the funeral, I was too young to understand. Then my big sis came and asked me why I was jolly yet our dad was in a casket! brethren from then, my tears dried up the following day. I was offered money to shut up, I took it only to open the flood gates/and mouth after pocketing the notes (I never loved coins)

I have a great mum!

but

I miss my dad!

Two Kenyans among the terror attack victims in London. Mary Wangari, 34, who is thought to have been at Aldgate Station is in critical condition at The Royal Hospital in Whitechapel, East London, while Mr. Awadh Madobe from Malindi, Kenya is in ICU at Queen Elizabeth II hospital in London. Mr. Madobe is thought to have been at Kings Cross Station (more to follow).

A Kenyan of Asian origin is among the 25 missing people in London terror attack. Mr. Amrit Shah of Newham in East London boarded the district line underground station at Plaistow Station at 8.00 a.m. on Thursday 7th July 2005 expecting to get off at Aldgate then catch another train for Piccadilly Circus where he works at a mobile shop. He has not been heard from since and this family has been trying to contact him through his mobile where there is no response and the message box is full. He was born in Ngara, Nairobi.

A Kenyan, Mr Awadh Madhobe who was taken to St Mary's hospital, Paddington after London terror attack on Thursday has now left the hospital after doctors allowed him to go home

We Condemn Terrosism

2005-07-07T23:21:00.000+01:00

Many thank to all who got in touch with me to see that we were ok.

I would like to join with the world and and fellow blogger in condemning terrosism across the world where thousands have died. I just want to say my heart goes out to those families that have been affected over the years and especially with the families in London who lost loved ones today.

I just wish there was a way of resolving our differences without killing the innocent. All my friends and family are ok, most of them having just got off the tube just before the blast.

The pictures were borrowed from the CNN website.

May God help us!

Just for laughs!

Communication in relationships

2005-06-30T00:37:00.000+01:00

I as Farmgal find that I value communication in a relationship more than I value gifts and dinner etc etc This hs been something I have been thinking lots about in the last few days thus prompting me to do this post and probably the next few posts. Whether we are big on communication or not its obvious that it affects many relationships. This post is a reminder to myself and a source of help to someone who may need this.

a) Clear communication is a major key to a healthy relationship
b) clear commnication is affected by:
-what is said
-when its said
-how its said -underlying tone
-how its said - method used (eg face to face, phone, email, etc)
-non-verbal communication - body language, etc
-what is NOT said
-what is heard
-how its heard
-what is NOT heard
-a person's own heart attittudes and 'condition'

There are different levels of communication, the highest level being 'complete openness and honesty' When you get to this level the 'vulnerability factor' increases. This is when we should be very mindful of each others feelings. If you ever reach this level with a loved one then we are in a deep heart to heart relationship. We should therefore mind the following:

a) Dont crush or diminish the reality of the other person's feelings, especially if they have been honest and brave enough to share them.
b)Dont blame feelings on each other (or anyone else). It is better to say, "I feel angry about...", rather than "you make me feel so angry!".
c)Remember love is gentle, kind and patient. It is as we 'speak the truth in love' we grow
d)Most men will need to work at sharing feelings. If after sharing something you can replace "I feel..." with "I think...", then you haven't shared a feeling just a thought!

Good day everyone and I hope you find this useful.

Cuddly

2005-06-28T17:46:00.000+01:00

I'd give/do anything to be cuddled up on a sofa with the one I love, watching some telly, kissing, playing with his toes........

Oh well!!!!!!!

It hurts

2005-06-25T14:28:00.000+01:00

Have you ever loved somebody till it hurts?

Does love sometimes feels so sweet it hurts?

When someone you don't fancy says 'I love you'

2005-06-15T22:28:00.000+01:00

In the last few days I have had someone nag me and tell me that they want me for their girlfriend and yeah I know I asked bloggers to pimp me up (this one is not as a result of that blog BTW) but aii. I mean this guy does'nt get it, he calls me everyday, sometimes I answer sometimes I dont and when I do I keep it brief. I have tried to let this guy down gently but now he is really asking for it. I have told him stories about me not looking and me not being ready (hope he never gets to read my blog) after my previous which was lots of months ago but noooooo he keeps calling. I regret meeting him!

I hate breaking peoples hearts and in this case I can see a broken heart 'coming soon'

It got me thinking about the three little words that get misused all the time and how I have responded to one of those akward 'I love you' moments.

I think silence just says it all and changing the topic works just fine. That's if am not dealing with a dula, well if the guy is a dula then the best response for me is a simple 'thank you' and a quick exit.

I have never been in a situation where I have been required to say more than the above. What I know is you wanna say those three words when you know that the other person feels the same otherwise all you'll be getting is a thank you in response!

I love you guys! Now what do you say to that?

Whats your love language?

2005-06-14T17:57:00.000+01:00

I was thinking about this yesterday....If you speak two or three languages with the ease you speak your first language and you are making out with whoever/lover. Which language do think in?
I'll use me as an example, if am kissing someone and am wishing they didnt stop I wish in English!!!
I have noticed we have people here who speak French, Spanish, Kikuyu, Kiswahili, Maasai, Luyha, Kamba, Luo, Kisii etc etc Have you ever thought in any other language (other than English) during those intimate moments?

Am laughing just thinking about this.........

On big brother for those who are in Uk. I really want Science out of that house he is too loud and he doesnt listen to anyone. He reminds me of someone I lived with for almost a year, he is such a nag!!!!!!

My friends' honeymoon

2005-06-08T21:44:00.000+01:00

Remember the wedding I went? yeah that one, the couple went to Kenya on a 22day honeymoon. I picked them up from Heathrow the other day.

The last day of their honeymoon they were robbed at gun point, the jamaa was asleep and the chic was having her hair done. There was like sixteen guys in they house (some sort of farewell bash) but they were still robbed off all their mobile phones by four guys wielding guns. Lucky enough the gal managed to hide her wedding ring and in her bra. The funny thing I advised her not to take any expensive jewellery just before they left hence the reason why she slid her ring in her bra!

For someone who had never been to Kenya before she had an experience! She also got typhoid but all in all she had an amazing time and has alot of good stuff to say about Kenya and in Swahili too! The highlight of her trip............eating crocodile meat at the carnivore.

My Emotions

2005-06-08T21:40:00.000+01:00

Why do I get so emotional (read cry) when people feel sorry/express their sympathy if am going through a hard time. You see am the kinda gal that likes people to think that I can handle anything but to be honest, somethings I cant handle!

Theee song! (Please forgive me by Brian Adams)

2005-05-31T13:21:00.000+01:00

I would love to fall in love with someone and ten/twenty years later sing this song to them and mean it. This lyrics are just the mother of all lyrics and though I have been soo unlucky in love, I still hope that one day I will meet that man that will make me feel like an angel on every anniversary. Imagine looking into someones eyes and telling them 'still feels like the first time .......' woi woi aki guys that would make me 'neak' in the knees and am not talking ol' age! The emotions this song brings out in me cant be translated, they can only be felt.

It still feels like our first night together
Feels like the first kiss
It's getting better baby
No one can better this
Still holding on
You're still the one
First time our eyes met
Same feeling I get
Only feels much stronger
I wanna love you longer
you still turn the fire on

So if you're feeling lonely, don't
You're the only one I'll ever want
I only want to make it go
So if I love you a little more than I should ...

Please forgive me, I know not what I do
Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you
Don't deny me, this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me, if I need you like I do
Please believe me (Oh believe it), every word I say is true
Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you

Still feels like our best times are together
Feels like the first touch
Still getting closer baby
Can't get closer enough
Still holding on
You're still number one
I remember the smell of your skin
I remember everything
I remember all the moves
I remember you yeah
I remember the nights, you know I still do

So if you're feeling lonely, don't
You're the only one I'll ever want
I only want to make it go
So if I love you a little more than I should ...
Please forgive me, I know not what I do
Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you
Don't deny me, this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me, if I need you like I do
Please believe me (Oh believe it), every word I say is true
Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you

Guitar solo

The one thing I'm sure of
Is the way we make love
The one thing I depend on
Is for us to stay strong
With every word and every breath I'm praying
That's why I'm saying

Please forgive me, I know not what I do
Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you
Don't deny me, this pain I'm going through
Please forgive me, if I need you like I do
Babe believe it, every word I say is true
Please forgive me, if I can't stop loving you
No, believe, I don't know what I do
Please forgive me, I can't stop loving you

I can't stop ... loving you ... (from seeklyrics)

Feel free to share your greatest love song of all time and pray for this girl, sawa?

'Your Life Is a Theater'

2005-05-23T11:01:00.000+01:00

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Invite Your Audience Carefully

Not everyone is healthy enough to have a front row seat in our lives.
There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a DISTANCE.

It's amazing what you can accomplish when you let go of, or at least minimize your time with, draining, negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere relationships/friendships.

Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention.

Which ones lift and which ones lean?
Which ones encourage and which ones discourage?
Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill?
When you leave certain people do you feel better or feel worse?
Which ones always have drama or don't really understand, know or appreciate you?

The more we seek quality, respect, growth, peace of mind, love and truth around us...the easier it will become for us to decide who gets to sit in the front row and who should be moved to the balcony of Our Life.

"If you cannot change the people around you, CHANGE the people you are around."

Remember that the people we hang with will have an impact on both our lives and our income. And so we must be careful to choose the people we hang out with, as well as the information with which we feed our minds.

We should not share our dreams with negative people, Nor feed our dreams with negative thoughts. It's our choice and our life... choose wisely.

It's up to us who and what we let in it...

writer unknown

I saw the above and thought about my current relationships. Are they all worth having?

The game I'd love to hate

2005-05-21T22:32:00.000+01:00

I watched the eff eh cup final today, I know you're thinking "so did I" and the rest of the world. My answer to that is 'I know' I can't believe just how much I have come to love football, I jump up when I think the team 'am supporting is going to score, I scream at the ref incase he can't see the foul I have just seen.....and yah with my hands on my head! I jump and scream just like everyone else when the team am rooting for gets the back of the net, I kick, clench my fist, hug strangers at the pub, the other Farmgal comes out to play. yeah baby! Now am learning the lyrics of the songs sang by the Chelsea funs! Eeeish I think this is going a little bit further than I had planned...Oh I had not planned anything.

I had made a vow to myself that I'd never get emotional when a team thats not Chelsea was chasing that piece of leather, how wrong! Today I sat there convinced myself that it was a cup final so I'd just watch for the sake of it. Before I knew it I was supporting Arsenal after supporting Man U for like ten minutes...dont ask why I chose to go with Arsenal.

All the feelings I feel when Chelsea is playing descended on me. Before I knew it I was jumping, screaming at the ref and the Man U players etc etc
My friend who dares not call me when Chelsea is playing called. my greeting went like.."hello ..come on arsenal...oh hey babes do you know there is....oh migod goal, goal, goal, nooooo ...Oh I was sayin there's football si you call me later...aaaaaaahhhhhh men! Ok babes b'dae(laters) and back to football. Why was I getting so worked up I mean its just football.

The bad thing about this FA cup final is that it went to penalties or what I call the battle of the goalies. I hate when that happens, so the last few minutes of extra time I was screaming ..'somebody score please anyone please, no penalties please score' (ouch my lungs hurt) Adrenaline kicked in when we went to extra time. There is no explaning how I was feeling at this point and trust me its worse where Chelsea is involved. I will not even tell you what happens during the world cup...I will tell you during the next world cup. By the way did I tell you that when England was kicked out of the last world cup, I honestly swear I promised myself that football had ceased to be a part of me. Yaani that day I went to the pub at 7am to watch that game 7am dear brethren....what time did I leave my warm bed? Of course I forgot the pain I experienced that day very quickly.

Now I love the others too ... rugby, tennis, snooker, cricket(kaimagini) and golf. I even watch the sports channels and always check the latest sports news on sky sport and trust me there is no man in my house controlling the remote..uuuuui kairetu...I know!

BTW This is for all the Liverpool fans out there, I have not gotten over you taking our place in the championship final. kwani that ref at the semis was blind! That was not a goal and I have seen it replayed from all angles. aaargghh

I really want this love affair with football to end so today I promise myself (mind am not sure if I can keep this promise) that I will never try and get home early to catch you, I will not be going to the pub with you for a drink, I will not be checking up on you on sky sports, I will not tell my friends about you anymore and I dont care if you are in season or out ...am not finished, I will not be wearing that expensive hat with your name on it....am not kidding this time we are over.

Love is a friendship caught on fire. -- Northern Exposure

I read the above here Truly Love is strange! This has to be the most interesting defination of love I have ever come across.
I met two couples recently who got together after years of being friends. They look so happy and I can say their friendship did catch some wild fire.

Wanjiru's Nest I hope you don't mind me borrowing this from your blog.

Last night I stayed up late learning some Html stuff online. Now thanks to Mental I can do new stuff on my blog.

I thought I was going to have a bit of sleep this morning......yeah right I was woken up by the painter doing the windows. Scrapping, brushing and all other noises associated with painting were my wake up call alright.

Mental I swear my dreams last night were in HTML.

Thanks for all your help, now I know why Mama J dedicated a whole blog to you sometime back.

Shukran!

Pimp me up

Dark skin......

I don't know why but I easily fall for a man with dark skin. I'd go out with someone with different skin tone but dark is sexier to me. If you know any light skin guy..... begger can't choose.

God fearing....

This I hope is self explanatory and is my number one on the list.

Sweet...

babyface sweet ain't bad at all.

Good kisser....

I don't like very very wet kisses unless we are making .... I can't write it, I'm that shy!

Respect....

Someone who totally respects women overall. I mean their mama, sisters etc.

Cuddly & abit touchy feely....

I love to cuddle. Imagine just sitting there with your lover saying nothing but clinging on to each other like there is bila tomorrow. Touching is good, it kinda says.."I can't get enough of you"

Phone manners...

If you hang up before you can finish saying goodbye, goodnite, ta etc then no thanks. I love longish goodbyes and unless your boss just walked in on you, then a sudden hang-up is not acceptable. I don't even like it when friends do that.

Communication......

At least we got to talk daily on email, phone, text etc There are so many options out there so there is no excuse. If you love someone you must make time for them PERIOD!!!!!!! Unless you are in Iraq.

Geography....

Be in Uk or be willing to move here (this is my home).

Generous.....

I promise to give my all if you do the same.

Temper.....

Keep it in check I can't shout therefore would not want to be shouted at.

Forgiving...

I think if you are in a relationship you learn to forgive daily. People hurt us everday and we hurt others daily. Like when you don't return phonecalls....you know the rest.

Honest....

I mean in all ways, if I hurt you you tell me, if you feel I have let you down you tell me. If you aren't feeling me anymore you tell me. Don't tell me in public though!

I will write some more soon, for now pimp me up!

Don't forget what's behind this blog!

2005-05-16T18:04:00.000+01:00

Don't let my last few blogs mislead you.
I am still looking for love so my blog-mates help!
Are there any single bloggers in the ring?

My other pervert of an uncle!

2005-05-15T19:35:00.000+01:00

Two

One of my aunties from meru was getting married, all the family who could make the long trip packed inside a 'face me' and drove all the way to meru.

I think I must have been 14 years old or so, going to 15. Being an early bloomer my period started early and my boobs were like a C cup while all my friend still had those dots. I really hated having boobs then! I hid behind big jumpers and lesoz.

The wedding took place on a Saturday and a big reception was was held at the groom's home. On sunday their was a reception held in honour of the bride's family at the groom's. Yaani two receptions with mokimo, roast meat and the works!

Unfortunately the second day I didnt go because of my period. Every girl knows that the first one or two years during that time of the month are never comfortable. I chose to stay home and lounge. I didn't think I had company at home until my meru uncle (brother of the bride) came in half an hour after everyone else was gone.

I could not believe it when jamaa started hitting on me. Before that, I was really tight with this uncle and I was too young to think in those lines anyway. I promised him that I would scream if he dared lay a finger on me. I managed to get out of the situation in good time. Not knowing where I was going, I left and walked around for along time and got back home when everyone else was there.

I remember a girlfriend told me her story and to be honest girls have gone through hell..... her uncle would finger her and fondle her boobies. He made her promise not to tell anyone otherwise she would be killed. It went on for ages and one day she decided to tell her mum. Her mum slapped the daylights out of her and accused her of telling lies. She still remembers that slap, I advised her to remind her mum of the saga recently....her mum cried and begged her to forgive her for not believing she was being molested. It was a tear jerking moment but a bit too late I think.

I believe boys are molested too.... while they are growing up! By whom you may ask.....mbooch wengi sana!
So many mothers have no idea but maids do it to their boys...I have had a few stories!

The reason why girls dont tell when they are raped is that they fear that no one will believe them. Thank God for DNA but still its 'ngumu'

Girls have a heart we look at the bigger picture. We care so much about what telling would lead to. Family feuds and all that, girls I think sometimes its best we think about ourselves.

Am I over past hurts?

2005-05-15T18:48:00.000+01:00

Today being sunday I went to church. The preacher today got me thinking about my past.... relationshipwise......boyfriends, friends, family, girlfriends.... and bad ones in this case.

Hurt...

Everyone one has been hurt by somebody at some point in their lives. What happened after you were last hurt? Did you swear never to give your heart to someone else? Did you promise never too speak to that someone again? Did you promise yourself to be very careful the next time you fell in love/made freinds? etc etc

My two peverts of uncles!

One

I remember when I was around 14years old.......
I hated hunging out with my girl cousins so I spent most of the time with my boy cousins and young uncles listening to music while they sipped on some illicit brew. ( this was at my nan's during holidays) During this times, my dad's parent's homestead would be packed to capacity therefore cooking meant cooking for like forty people everday, not to mention the teas that were made like ten times a day! My stunt was to hang out with the boys in their 'thingira' (boys rooms separate from main house). All this time all the other girls my age would be slaving in the kitchen doing dinners, teas and the most dreaded mountain of dishes.

At my dad's there were two telly's at two different houses, after dinner we'd choose our favourite aunty's house and catch mamboleo and news on that one channel KBC. My uncle and I chose one house while the rest headed to a different house. This uncle was drunk (remember that brew)!

We are walking side by side, kidogo kidogo I found myself pinned on the wall of my aunty's house, I didnt have time to get shocked. I needed to get out of there fast. I slid down the wall and under his arms and ran. I know I pushed him out of my way, I was very small and the fact that he was maji helped me.

I realise that that experience contributed to the way I have treated men I have gone out with in the past.

Thank God I dont feel hurt by the all the bad experiences.

Hit on by a teacher

2005-05-10T21:01:00.000+01:00

The saga on saturday got me thinking about the inappropriate and appropriate hits I have had in my life.

When I was a third former their was this teacher we had nicknamed Mr Hoots which was derived from his real name. This guy was a family friend and he would bring me stuff from home whenever he visited my mum. I was in boarding school see and I hated the food especially days of cabbage.

As a senior prefect I hung out with teachers alot, which was considered lucky especially when the cute ones were on duty. I remember one Mr M who was such a hunk all the girls were drooling and wishing he would just speak to them.

I was on holiday and Mr Hoots had come to visit, he stayed on for a while then said he had to go visit his cousin not so far from my area code. He asked my mum if she could allow me to go along. We didn't have a reason to think he had other plans up his sleeve or should I say trouser!

We arrive at the cousin's house, after introductions they start speaking in their mama's tongue. Kidogo the cousin leaves, I am thinking jamaa has gone to buy some milk... I was wrong!

The respectable teacher comes close to me and starts to touch me (alarm bells go off in my head and I mean loud ones) I push him back and gather some courage and ask him what the hell he thought he was doing. I have never told anyone about this not even my mum, though I can still remember how scared I was. What if he raped me?

That fool! Does he even know how scared I was?

On the way back home all he did was beg not to tell, he apologised over and over again. I did not promise him anything, I thought if I left him guessing then he would not try it on with any other girl.

I cant remember failing swahili exams after that saga!

I think I should have told!

The wedding

2005-05-09T14:04:00.000+01:00

The weather....

It was perfect for the day, not cold and not too hot. My sleeveless dress and open shoes were perfect for the occasion.

The Nigerian (no offence)

Am older than 27...... how can a man who is actually older than my dad dart me? This guy (old man) helped me park my car and even looked all over the place for me when cops came issuing tickets on wrongly parked motis. A tow truck was even called, but my car was sawa. After I confirmed that my banger was ok, the old mzee turns to me and says he likes my smile and my teeth! I immediately became suspicious. Are you married or seeing anyone was the next query. Ala! mzee is hitting on me and I was missing the kiss the bride moment for zero. I tried to excuse myself in the most polite way avoiding to sound irritated. He insists that I give him my number so he can call me and pay me a visit.....I want to puke!

From the pulpit..

The speaker was just right for the occasion, didn't speak for more than 30minutes. He was funny too! His opening joke was.... A young boy was returning home from a wedding with his dad.......

Dad: Were you paying attention to what the minister was saying?
Boy: Yes
Dad: How many wives did he say a man should have?
Boy: Sixteen!
Dad: You were not listening young man. Can you tell me when he said that
Boy: When he said 4-better, 4-worse, 4-richer and 4-poorer!

The men...

One of them sent my friend to say that he liked me. Was I supposed to go to him and strike up a conversation? I spent most of my time trying so hard to avoid my eyes meeting the old Nigerian's so I didn't have a good look around.

The wedding party looked fabulous by the way and other than the Nigerian trying to get my attention throughout, I had some good fun and made really good friends both male and female.

Going to a wedding.........

2005-05-06T18:21:00.000+01:00

Hey guys am going to a wedding kesho. I know thats one of the best places to hook up with someone or am I wrong?

Imagine all the well dressed people....eeerr men in suits, ties, their best colognes, neat hair cuts & neat bearded faces. It will be unfortunate if most of this men are taken, but there is always one or two single ones (got to have some hope). Did I forget to mention the very important fresh breath! Imagine speaking to someone and you are forced to take in some sort of morning breath and its not morning. Yuk yuk yuk yuk arghh!!!

The worst that could happen is bumping into an x though am sure this won't happen. Or even worse I could trip and fall...I have new heels you see.

Lets wait for tomorrow though I may need some flirting tips. I will have to come out of my shy shell be bold and try look beautiful!

I love a conversation

2005-05-05T18:03:00.000+01:00

I am at my mate's house the other day and we are having a laugh. Jokes are being thrown left, right and centre and the neighbours are complaining. We are louder than the music blaring from the tenje. Its seems like everything thats spoken is a joke. I am having a fab time!

There is this guy sitting there staring at his can of whatever obviously he doesn't get the jokes.

Wrong! He can't speak English. I decide to make some conversation and thats how I discover. He can only speak spanish, the sister is across the room and swings over to translate....this is interesting.

Its time to go clubbing but for me it's time to go home. I am saying my goodbyes amidst protest that I should go clubbing too. As I say bye bye to the spanish speaking fella's brother in-law, he whispers into my ear that the bratha likes me alot...already!

I drive off wondering if I'd ever date anyone whom a conversation is out of question!

Hug anyone.......

2005-05-04T22:06:00.000+01:00

Today am feeling like a hug. Lucky all you guys out there with someone to give you that long cuddle! Mmmmmmmmmmmhhhhh. Ooohhhhhhh how I wish!!

Love sucks, right?

2005-05-03T22:06:00.000+01:00

Ok I dont know if its just me ama love sucks. I would love to meet someone who will mean the world to me and actually mean the world to me 20+ years later. I will tell you my woes as I pursue this and you can tell me where I go wrong. I hope as I put my thoughts on 'paper' answers will start rolling in.
