So I’m back in full effect and hope you all are fine.
I wrote a long piece and lost it in our wonderful WordPress and therefore, I give up and am going to look for some food.
Maybe tomorrow I’ll blog a long post again.
I had to go in to work today after getting in early [...]
Why Are African Intellectuals So Depressing?

Hello!
Today on my way back to the hotel, I saw the current Oct-Dec 2009 BBC Focus on Africa magazine at a newsstand and read Mukoma wa Ngugi’s article “We Are Sailing”.
My goodness. Talk about a super depressingly-depressing article.
So depressing I actually burst out laughing because after reading the piece, I realized that (according to [...]

So we touch down yesterday and it’s drizzling… but according to the local weather channels, the sun will be bright today. It’s still dark outside but I got up early to email my folks then hit the gym. They have a good one in this hotel and its open 24 hours.
It’s around 8.30am and I’m [...]
I hope you’re all good!
I am, but have been caught up with work and other matters…
Sunday night, I leave for sunny tropical climes for a week of not-too-intense work. Not too intense because we (Mr. Belgium and I) have done everything possible to ensure that everything is smooth sailing when we’re on location [...]

(Music again!)
Hello!
As sworn, this week has been tight for me.
I went into work at 6am Monday, and today (Tuesday) I was there before 5:30am. But I have been leaving at 5pm on the dot as usual, just because my brain is completely fried after all those hours of work.
Mr. Belgium, surprisingly, has made [...]

Salaams kwa wingi as they say
Nothing new on my end… Just had a nice, soft and quiet weekend and hope you did too.
Friday, I got a package in the mail from my sis. She sent me some clothes and a new pair of shoes that I really like. Though I like getting dressed [...]

Hey!
I hope you are fine, fine, fine
My folks left yesterday and now it’s back to the old routine. I miss them already but I didn’t cry or anything like that at the airport…
I was in a rush and they were like “let’s get on this plane, bye, see you Bubi”.
They arrived [...]

Hello folks!
I hope you are all doing excellent and that life in your locale is sweet.
Things are quiet around here and we are now on countdown to departure (my parents leave in a few days).
I am very sad that they’re going but thankful that we’ll all be together again in December. Gosh, I [...]

Hey folks!
Quick one here…
I returned early from a lunch my parents and I were invited to at my dad’s old University friend’s house… They live nearby and are Musau’s parents. There was a very hot Liberian guy at the lunch, but nothing doing… He’s as much an Evangelical Christian as Musau’s folks are…
It was [...]
