New year things

Happy new year loved ones. I hope I did not take too long to wish you all a nice one, they say better late than never.

Nothing much has changed except we have started counting days from January all over again. It is therefore a good chance to make new decisions, try alternative ways of doing things and probably push harder depending on how your previous year was.  There has to be a reason as to why we keep starting all over again otherwise there would be no new year, no new month and certainly no new day.

As much as some people may say the resolution making every new year is irrelevant, I think it is very relevant and necessary. Planning is the first step to getting things done. We do not have to wait for the new year to plan but it is a perfect opportunity given the rejuvenation that comes with it. For those of us who believe in making resolutions and chasing them day in day out here is a short to do list to keep our heads high all year round;

  1. Purpose to smile more and frown less. Am told smiling lengthens our living days.  
  2. Leave the past where it belongs especially the bitter and sad past. There is a reason we naturally count forward and never backwards.
  3. Try to worry less about the things that do not go as planned/expected. Worrying never solves problems it simply disrupts your peace. 
  4. Do not be too hard on yourself, life situations are hard you need not to add the hardships.
  5. Take it easy, nothing is permanent not even life itself.
  6. Forgive, forgive, forgive, otherwise you too will not get God's forgiveness.
  7. Learn to make your own decisions without external forceful influence. Seek advice and opinion but do what makes you happy.
  8. Spare time for your long lost friends, quiet relatives and the people you value, these are some of those moments that last forever in our minds. 
  9. Make progress in whichever things you do. Push yourself until you see progress because that is the only way to grow. 
  10. Keep your word, keep your promises. Practice to stand by what you say and deliver to your best ability, it says a lot about ones character and whether people can trust you. 
  11.  Say no when you mean no, and yes when you mean yes. They could be the hardest words to say straight up to someone but they makes life much much easier and peaceful.
From me, have a fruitful and blessed 2016, let's keep in touch.

MY LIFE IN CAMPUS- CAMPUS LESSONS {PART 3/3}

11 years ago, I wanted to become an engineer when I grow up. I did not know exactly what engineering entailed and how I would get there but I knew for me to be one I had to study really hard. Well my dreams were and still are valid. 11 years later as I finish my undergraduate studies I have a very important lesson to take home from one of my lectures, Prof Kiema. He said, it does not matter what you do, what matters is how you do it. You can’t possibly go through an institution for all these years and fail to pick up important lessons to last you a lifetime. My most important life lessons were picked here, my best characters were shaped here as well, be my guest; Campus taught me how to relate to people, those I like and those I don’t. It taught me I don’t have to like someone to respect them; respect is for all, friends and strangers.   I learnt that anything that has a beginning always has an end. Just like finishing campus, all other aspects of life have beginnings...

MY LIFE IN CAMPUS {PART 1/3}

Just like that, it’s over! (Read oveeeeeeeeer!). Honestly it does not feel like five years are gone already. Time sure flies. I still remember how young, fragile and innocent I was when I walked into Stella Awinja hostel for my first year in campus. I would say I was mature and responsible though, I brought myself to campus most people don’t.   Then papa came to check on me later and brought my luggage and I remember him questioning the custodians why I had to share a room with five other ladies yet the forms clearly stated sharing two. Best daddy ever, he cared enough to know where his daughter was going to live. Sharing a room with five other adorable ladies turned out to be the best thing. I made friends that will forever remain my friends both in their presence and absence. The many Luhyia songs and ohangla dances done in that room, sweet old memories. Shout out to Brenda Nanjala, Rhoda Odongo, Sylvia Awori and Merlene Ndolo, I miss and love you lovely ladies. You made my...

The man every woman wants

I am not married, we may say I don't have experience but i definitely know the kind of man every woman wants because I am a woman. Women like feeling special and pampered, it is in us. Those lovely compliments, sincere appreciation and sweet words warm our hearts. Yes we are special for sure hence we deserve to feel equally or more special. When a woman meets that gentleman who makes her feel special than any other person around her, you can be rest assured she will make you feel triple special in return. A woman is like a kid, however learned or experienced she is, she would not resist a good sense of direction. No woman wants to have man who is not concerned any inch about what goes on in her career field/business. We all admire men who make us better in our careers and ambitions. By making her better I mean knowing what goes on in her business, having two or three compliments about it,  practically assisting with ideas and getting things done if need be. Anything supportive ...
