Sweater weather, Is it just me or does anyone else notice how the weather has taken a change, a drastic one if I might add. Dumb question, I know,but what am I to do? I mean i did need to break the ice right? So,on to more pressing matters; one minute we are complaining about how the sun dropped into the Nairobi atmospheric blanket,or how the Nairobi Ozone Layer was stolen and we poor nairobians were left melting in the sweltering heat,and also making memes and putting them up on Instagram to make 'lemonade' out of this 'truckload of lemons' the sun had given to us.The next minute we are draped in our finest 'mitumba' draperies. All coated in dark trench-coats looking like cheap henchmen working double jobs,one as professional life takers* (*because killers is such a strong word) and the next as only heavens-knows-what. We went from carrying litres of ice-cold water to carrying thermo-cups and sipping like our lips are delicate tulips we cant afford to burn wi...

Of Rabbits,Easter and coconuts

Easter,easter,easter Is it just me or is anyone else a little freaked out by how early the Easter bunny decided to hop around this year? *PS: that Easter bunny thing, not my thing. Here is what I tend to find a bit off with this belief in a hypothetical,wait,IMAGINARY animal that is supposed to be the bearer of all things Eastery. I did not know of anything to do with rabbits on an April holiday(Well,normally April. 2016 is shaping to look like those kids in school who always thought they were cooler than everyone else and would decide to always do things way ahead of time like going sneaking into the dorm rooms ten minutes before bedtime so that everyone will look at them awestruck by how bold and daring they are. I mean,if at all you are such a bad ass why sneak in only ten minutes before time?Why not do an hour or two before time? Heck do not even attend the two and a half hour long evening preps. Such bull/s. #BOARDINGSCHOOLDRAMA) Anyway, before I kill the Easter bunny story, w...

Hello, what's up, how are you? Enough with the niceties,my last post had something to do with Nigerian rice.Well actually,not Nigerian rice per se,(yes I do know words like per se,what did you think I am, a person who does not a word like per se?) Please *waves hand in contempt* uh-oh there goes another one, *bomb sound*, the 'C' word never disappoints. You might want to keep your eyes peeled for more words like CONTEMPT,PER SE etcetra etcetra.See what I did there with the etcetra etcetra thingy by the way, etcetra etcetra is the long version of ETC. Like,that word we all tend to put at the end of a list to make us seem professional and brief and precise and straight to the point. I wonder, what if one day there comes an app that helps expound on the etc at the end of any list? Oh, the horrors we would all be exposing ourselves to!  Do not judge the fact that I tend to think of an app that can expound on the etc at the end of a list.I mean,we are in the 21st century.You g...
There should be something close to a 'death-limit' when it comes to deciding how often a person should say,'we are back!!!!!' -yes with all those exclamation marks- but for now let's all pretend we didn't see it coming when I write, WE ARE BACK !!!!!! I feel like you and I have been at this for so long its like "our thing" now.So, let me fill you in on the life and times of yours truly for the past few months. In my last post I talked about how we were now back even bigger and better than what we already were before (whatever that's supposed to mean) and to be honest with you it didn't feel true to me either.I know I know, oh, but don't be too hard on yourself at least you tried giving us false hope(use slightly high pitched and over sympathetic voice). But on the real though, how many of us feel like that? You know,the, 'NEW YEAR NEW ME SHIT', well technically its not much of a new year new me feeling but more of a, 'GOOD HEAV...

That trashy day syndrome.

The weather today is dreary! My goodness, the cold,really does not flatter me and my appearance.Which brings me to today's rant.Have you ever woken up in the morning and felt as though you were two centuries old? Well if you haven't, you are terrribly weird, trust me.So I wake up this morning feeling like I have been out doing some digging and masonry work and sweating my skin off.Looking into the mirror, I look even worse. I mean, my face,drenched in acne scars looks as though it has had all life sucked out of it by the monsters living under my bed.Morning breath has never been pretty but trust me, this particular morning, I am giving dragon(remember Mrs.Donkey in Shrek?) a run for her money or rather breath.I mean, what is going on today.My skin feels so pasty and sticky and oh,as sweaty as hell.The shower to the rescue! Does the water feel a little hotter today?My skin is burning,what with the water hitting me so hard I feel like meteorites are rocking me left, right, centre...
I AM BACK YOU LITTLE SH*TS!!!!! Notice the all CAPS? I missed spending time looking into my computer screen as my fat, stubby fingers press the life out of the keyboard.I wonder why no one went on my social platforms to ask why I was online for a century an a half,I know my exaggeration game is on fleek, anyway during my three month hiatus, a lot happened. First, I got a twitter account, one that works by the way,I clipped my toe nails (yay!!! screams like a teenage girl) and , they grew back(sighs terribly). Anyway aside from my toe nail drama, have i a story for you!   So, he died, well honestly we murdered him, I have to admit it was an experience to behold.There he was, slowly being led to his sudden demise,well, it was not that sudden, I mean, this particular moment had been planned for a million years on end,but hey, I exaggerate, it had actually been in the works for close to three years now.From how he was to be taken from his humble dwelling and lured into the den of de...
Happy humpday everybody! I hope the week isn't treating you tooo bad,well when its Wednesday, you know the weekend is finally here so I advice you to start making those plans for the weekend.Speaking of which,there are alot of items that go into making a weekend uber-epic, the dopest crew, the illest music and the sickest ambience wherever you go turnin' up,and last but most certainely no least, the best outfit(s) that just get you feeling good about yourself.So that s precisely why today I want to address thiis issue, ready? Let's go. For the weekend we want outfits that aren't too cumbersome to deal with.The main thing to focus on here is the fact that you aren't  suppossed to just sit around when everybody is having a great time.Prefferably, gents should wear some light material not the really heavy Monday to Friday clad.To our advantage,  the traditional denim jeans are being replaced by Khaki,Linen and some light breathable cotton.This is obviouslyy good news...
