EXHAUSTED!!!

Posted in General on July 14, 2008 by Mocha!

Too much has been happening in June and this month. Just when I thought that after the rugby weekends I would have June/July to rest, OHHHH NOOOO…..its been mad.

Good Points

Mom is in town

Moving in with Mr Mocha

Memories from Home

Bad Points

Mom is in town

Moving in with Mr Mocha

Memories from home

I know you are all wondering how come the good and bad points seem to match….well, I will go ahead and explain:

The Good Points

Mom is in town - I love having my mum around. Keeps me grounded and shows me how far I have come and matured. Also, she always keeps me in check with her good advice, which I am greatful for. Not many people can say that and I thank God for my mum.

Moving in with Mr Mocha! - I couldn’t wait. The love, cost sharing, arguing, no more travelling to see each other…….aarrgghhh!!!!! EVERYTHING! I have lived with a bloke before and it was not a good experience, but somehow, after a long hard think and of course the bling bling, how could I say no. Besides, my previous experience taught me alot and now I am ready for anything. ALSO…..Mr Mocha! is the bestest dude ever. Next step…walking down the aisle! ;)

Memories from home - With my mum visiting, I somehow couldn’t wait for her to open her suitcase and see what she had for me. She did not disappoint……..she had my high school blouse with final words with people I grabbed to pen a few things after exams. Reading back on what my friends wrote…….I haven’t changed much. This I will have to share. Also, in her case were House of Manji biscuits……the last time I saw that brand was when I was in Nai……the kettle hasn’t stopped boiling. A biscuit a day.

The Bad Points

Mom is in town - ….and her stay is coming to an end. I will miss her dearly and her departure always makes me home sick. The house will feel kinda empty with her not being around. The mother and daughter banter will have to come to an end. I will miss you! One thing is funny about this whole thing….the weekend after her departure is her birthday. Happy advanced birthday wishes Mum!!!

Moving in with Mr Mocha! - You tend to forget how independent you are when you live alone. You had your own space and stuff. Now that I am slowly settling down in a new abode with ‘new rules’, it was tough learning how to share space and how to compromise. A learning curve that is getting better with time. I suppose soon this will be a positive thing.

Memories from home - make me homesick. Hearing stories of our estate, kids who I left as babies/toddlers are now in Form One. Neighbours who have lost loved ones and others who are now married and moved on. Just the whole vibe. Worst of all is hearing my mum complain about the food here and its blandness. Bloggers in Nai…..masala chips, bhajia, wimpy coleslaw, kuku porn, blackforest, fruit salad, fresh passionfruit juice, etc. on you lot. So, be alert for my arrival!

June and July have been exhausting for me, but it has been all good. I can’t complain. Life is too precious and I can say I am in a good place right now.

Have a timam Monday.

1 JULY 2007

A year ago today, Mr Mocha! and I decided to make it ‘official’ as they (I don’t know who they are, but you know what I mean) put it.

Today, our relationship has reached its one year mark and we couldn’t be happier. This past year has had its ups and downs, but I thank God every day that the ups were more than the downs. A year filled with blessing and more importantly from my dear mom.

Babes……you have made me the happiest ever. No words can express how much you mean to me. Here is to the team!!!

Here is to us, our families and the future. I LOVE YOU! 

SO UNFAIR!!! Or is just me?

Why is it when someone goes out of their way to help you or make your life easier, you quiet literally screw them?

Yes, I am addressing you. You know yourself.

At this point in time, the least you could do is apologise to the relevant parties by writing the most sorriest apologetic letter you have ever written.

I wonder how you sleep at night.

Shame on you! Why spoil for others and yet they have gone out of their way to help you be confortable and safe!!! Again, SHAME ON YOU!

I am officially upset.

That written apology was need like yesterday…PLEASE GET DOWN TO IT!!!

Just got this video emailed to me by Tafsiri.

Apparently, 112 do a cameo on the video. Blink and you will miss them. I only managed to see half of them…..Slim and the other dark one (forgot his name). Anyway, I love the video. One of many showing how far Kenyan music has come from the days of KBC studio productions or the Uhuru Park shot videos.

I was reading the comments on this video and peeps are telling Nikki to lose weight.

Honestly, I don’t see anything wrong with her figure. She is beautiful and with a voice to match.

Has our Kenyan society or mentality reached a level that we have to reduce the body sizes to be accepted? What is all this size 0 mentality? Is it a wonder that such comments, when read by young girl’s looking up to people like Nikki result to having eating disorders just to be accepted?

I hope Nikki is reading this and will come out and make a comment. Put these people in their place. As far as I am concerned, her figure has nothing to do with her singing. Accept Nikki or any other artist as they are or bugger off.

Off to order that Size 14 (UK) dress I saw on eBay!

 

5 Minutes of KE Fame??? Please spare us!!!
