Today has been my first day at work, after approximately slightly over a year now. It was a humbling experience, given that all the people in my department are so warm, and hospitable and accomodative. SPecial congrats are in order to one Lucy K, my assigned trainer. She is so warm and friendly. I aint gonna disappoint her, nor anyone else (especially me) for that matter...
Y'all better wish me luck, however much it is a 3-month contract.
I wouldnt be here if it werent for my boy Peter, big ups dude, and I know i still owe you a 'diss joint' coz of yersterday...

'In-Thing'(s)
Being that every other 'young' person in the country wants to be seen to be in touch with the technological side of life, whom am i to be left behind. all the rage around is about Facebook and its reviews, My Space, though nowadays its barely being mentioned in the same breath as Facebook, and not forgetting Twitter.
In case any of my blog followers wants to catch up with me vide these 'in thing' applications, you may through my Facebook and Twitter profiles.
Good tidings.

And a Gentle One
When I first met you
It was love at first sight.
I promised to give you love,
That has sprung among lilies.
Love that comes from deep down,
The bottom of my heart.
Because you are a good one,
And a gentle one.
Your face is a garden,
Where roses and lilies grow.
Your body is a paradise,
Where all pleasant fruits grow.
Your eyes are like a sky,
Where stars form twinkling patterns.
All these features make you,
A good one.
Your smooth love quenches
My heart and restless heart.
Your lovely and kind words,
Fill my empty mind.
Thus an important person you are.
You are a good one,
And a gentle one.
If you desert me,
My soul will leave my body,
My inner being will go away,
Leaving an empty shell behind,
For you are my life.
If you desert me not,
Then you are a good one,
And a gentle one.

Since I had the first glance
Since I had the first glance,
I got all my confidence.
And I knew I had to find a chance,
And indeed this is a golden one,
To ask to have this dance.
I think the time will commence,
For us to practice our extravagance,
Of that time and chance,
Then we’ll jump on the floor,
And to the fullest, we’ll dance.
I can’t wait for that chance.
They call it luck, I call it fate.
From dawn till late,
We’ll dance till we faint.
They may hate coz we are of lower caste,
But we won’t care, for we’ll have gained.
Now my dear,
I hope you are all ears,
Coz this will be yours,
Please move near,
I don’t bite, so don’t fear.
This is my proposal, to a person so dear,
May I have this dance?
And in my heart, be so near?
I got all my confidence.

Nothing to smile about
Its been a long while since i last logged in my account to check, nay, update my blog. I had even contemplated deactivating it, not coz i did not have anything to write on, but for the simple reason that i was just too lazy to do so.
Ciru, a good pal of mine, made me promise her that i was going to at least write something. Well, here is a boring blog Ciru.
in life its always about choices, both good and bad. Whichever the case, the choices are never always to anyone's benefit, both directly and indirectly.
Too many things are happening in the world at the moment. you have leaders rewarding their cronies with plum jobs, never mind the fact that they are too old or even they cannot perform their duties with the zeal many young people have.
how do these leaders expect us to be the leaders of tomorrow, yet they have been the 'leaders of today' from when our country gained independence! just a thought

Matatu Madness
I went to a graduation earlier today at JKUAT. Me being me, I was late for the designated ride to the campus. So I had to take public means with Grace, or Gee Mdogo as I fondly call her.
We took the Thika Matatus, the 14-seater ones. Believe you me, we were seated four people per row and there were three squatting persons. In total, we were TWENTY ONE people, all cramped up in a small matatu. We passed 3 police road blocks, and all saw that the vehicle was overloaded, but did absolutely nothing.
Thankfully we got to our destination safely. Truthfully speaking, the transport system needs a complete overhaul. The transport minister is on record as saying that his ministry only ‘issues policies’, and its not up to it to ‘ensure, or follow up’ on them!
The worst thing about Kenyans is that we never really want to have any sort of blame heaped on us, even if we are totally the ones to blame!

A cloud floating in the blue skies
A cloud floating in the blue skies,
A friendly look in my eyes,
That is what you have made me.
With your lovely thought of me,
I thank God for you.
May He bless and guide you,
For you mean a lot to me.
A butterfly floating in the sunshine,
You have made my dull days shine.
That is the dim light you have made bright,
By your charming ways of delight.
I think of you and wonder what a blessing,
For God has given me friends everlasting,
For you mean a lot to me.
Who said that you are not so?
Who said that you are untrue?
You are full of grace and joy,
You are full of things I enjoy.
I wish that I could have you always,
To be my friend in each and every way,
For you mean a lot to me.

I thought about you
All day long,
I thought about you.
Even when I tried not
to think about you,
I thought about you.
When I closed my eyes,
I thought about you.
When I opened my eyes,
I thought about you.
When I thought about
the beauty of the season,
I thought about you.
When I thought about the
warmth of the upcoming holidays,
I thought about you.
When I heard a love song
on the radio,
I thought about you.
When I checked my email,
I thought about you.
Even when I said goodnight
to the stars,
I thought about you.
And when I slipped beneath
the softness of my blanket
and gave in to the bliss
of sweet dreams,
I thought about you.
I just can't stop
thinking about you.

The Still One
Lightening… Thunder
Raindrops… Hailstorms
Strong winds... Whirlwinds
Beyond all this lies
A comforting sound, A still one.
Children shouting… Screaming
Women yapping… Yelling
Men ruling…Mocking
Beyond all this lies
A comforting sound, A still one.
Life lived but then… Denied
Dreams, dreamt but then… Crushed
Relations, created but then… Betrayed
Beyond all this lies
A comforting sound. A still one.
Hold me tight … keep me warm
Brighten my face … smile for me
Stay with me … stay for good
Because in you I’ve found
A comforting sound, A still one.
Raindrops… Hailstorms
Strong winds... Whirlwinds
Beyond all this lies
A comforting sound, A still one.
Children shouting… Screaming
Women yapping… Yelling
Men ruling…Mocking
Beyond all this lies
A comforting sound, A still one.
Life lived but then… Denied
Dreams, dreamt but then… Crushed

Beyond all this lies
A comforting sound. A still one.
Hold me tight … keep me warm
Brighten my face … smile for me
Stay with me … stay for good
Because in you I’ve found
A comforting sound, A still one.

Reality Check
this weekend has been a damn long one, it having begun on Thursday evening. that evening i was in town on some errands. i went back home tipsy. Friday was Labour day. i went to town to do some errands for one of my home pals who resides in Kisumu. it entailed buying some stuff and sending them by courier. i never spent so much time queing. later joined some pals for some few drinks. today evening i have gotten a rude awakening from two of my pals. nothing to do with alcohol, but on something av been taking for granted. no more!
