Gone too soon, Rest in peace comrade

Unpredictable life. Gone too soon. Till we meet again.

Life lost at a young age is so sad to come in terms with. We walk, talk, eat, laugh, cry and do all that we do because we have life. We may lack some of life's necessities but we do have life, the richest necessity ever.

I mourn, we mourn our very own comrade, a life lost too soon, too sudden.  Rest in peace Sinbad Ongeri. Five years of being classmates went too quick and truth be told none of us, at least not me imagined we could loose any of us anytime soon. We have felt the pain of loosing a comrade before, RIP Nimrod but death came back and took yet another comrade.

Travel well brother, we will miss the moments shared all these years, good and bad, funny and not funny, that is what life brought to us. Some of these memories still fresh, the final year dinner, fifth year project presentation, sports day, survey camp to name but a few. I now realize how fragile life can be because tomorrow is not a guarantee however painful it sounds.

The one very important lesson I realize I took from you Ongeri is the spirit to go for it regardless of what people think. At the back of my mind I always thought  the one person who will make it in life with or without opportunities is you. Well, God had better plans, He always does.

Geospatial Engineering class of 2011 wishes you a farewell to the land of peace. We wished to graduate together but sadly that will not be the case. Go well, rest in peace and may God comfort all of us especially your family.

RIP COMRADE.

    Ongeri lived at ease and nature taught,
    And spent the little life without a thought,
    And am amazed that Death, that tyrant grim,
    grabbed someone who i knew at personal level.
    I'll always cherish Ongeri and his memories

    His zeal, determination and courage was unmatched. Whenever he set his goal, he made sure he reached it no matter what. He never minded the storms on the way. May his soul rest in eternal peace.

      That too is one of the outstanding things I saw in Ongeri. May he truly RIP.

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 ...
