My mates are getting married. My mates are Having Kids. My mates are getting good jobs. My mates are succeeding. My mates are living overseas. My mates are buying cars. My mates are building houses. My mates are this......my mates are that...... It's a pity you literally forgot about your mates in the mortuary, your mates in the psychiatric homes, your mates are roaming on the streets, your mates are jobless, hungry, blind, deaf.......... You might not be where you wish to be but you have obviously transcended from where you were yesterday. Be thankful.

Do you know: Only 5 weeks left and we say bye bye to 2014? Some slept yesterday and didn't wake up today? We're sinners but God showed mercy? God still has plans for you before the year ends? Some mates are there in jail without committing any crime? You ate last night but some didn't or couldn't? You have work and sources for daily living while some have nothing to look up to You are alive not because you are faithful or because you have never sinned before but it is the MERCY of God Almighty that kept you alive.

Girlfriends

A young wife sat on a sofa on a hot humid day, drinking iced tea and talking with her Mother. As they talked about life, about marriage, about the responsibilities of life and the obligations of adulthood, the mother clinked the ice cubes in her glass thoughtfully and turned a clear, sober glance upon her daughter.

"Don't forget your girlfriends," she advised, swirling the tea leaves to the bottom of her glass. "They'll be more important as you get older. No matter how much you love your husband, no matter how much you love the children you'll have, you are still going to need girlfriends.

Remember to go places with them now and then; do things with them. And remember that "girlfriends" are not only your friends, but your sisters, your daughters, and other relatives too. You'll need other women. Women always do."

'What a funny piece of advice,' the young woman thought. 'Haven't I just gotten married? Haven't I just joined the couple-world? I'm now a married woman, for goodness sake! -- a grownup. Surely my husband and the family we'll start will be all I need to make my life worthwhile!'

But she listened to her Mother; she kept contact with her girlfriends and made more each year. As the years tumbled by, one after another, she gradually came to understand that her Mom really knew what she was talking about.

After almost 50 years of living in this world, here is what I've
learned:

Times passes.
Life happens.
Distance separates.
Children grow up.
Love waxes and wanes.
Hearts break.
Careers end.
Jobs come and go.
Parents die.
Colleagues forget favors.


BUT girlfriends are there, no matter how much time and how many miles are between you  cheering you on, praying for you, pulling for you. intervening on your behalf, . Sometimes, they will even break the rules and walk beside you. Or come in and carry you out. My mother, sister, sister-in-law, "sisters," extended family, and friends bless my life!

The world wouldn't be the same without them, and neither would I.

When we began this adventure called womanhood,  Nor did we know how much we would need each other. Every day, we need each other still.

LMFAOOOOO :-)

What an awful way to start the week... I strongly believe there is a  special place in hell for people like this :-( I couldn't even watch the whole video - I instantly fell sick. The maid whose name is Jolly Tumuhiirwe, 22, a born resident of Rukungiri District is currently charged under Anti-torture Act at Nakawa Court. I look forward to when she will re-appear in Court on December 8th 2014. I am especially glad the police are contemplating on revising the charge and upgrading it to attempted murder. What bullshit - she should be tortured and killed slowly!

I remember my Dad once told me a friends house help - gave their kids AIDS! This witch was using their toothbrush and ended up infecting the kids. To say the least, the family was never the same - they ended up moving to a remote location.

May the good Lord save us from the hands of house helps.

May your perfect soul rest in peace. IJN

 

 

Oya laugh small jare

I was driving down a street along Alausa, having just finished answering a call, when a policeman, suddenly, opened the passenger door, entered and jam-locked it.
(The door lock is faulty)
As usual, he wanted 'something' from me for calling while driving...
Suddenly, he saw the big Rothweiller dog, Jackie, at the back seat of the car, with tongue stuck out, spittle dripping and fangs barring, staring fiercely at him.

Policeman: (Shaking)
Ah! You carry dog?

Me: (I bone face) Yes, I carry dog.  Dat one na offense?

Policeman: (Feeling uncomfortable)

Me: From hospital.

Policeman: Ehen! you sick?

Ehen! But why the dog dey shake head like that?

Me: Na so im dey do if e wan bite person.

Me: Yes nah, no be my dog?

Policeman: (Sweating)

Me: How you take enter?

Policeman: Abeg! Na since I dey try open am, but e no open.
(The dog was now getting impatient and gave a small growl, its tongue almost touching the policeman's left ear).

Policeman: (Now sliding forward)Oga, I take God beg you, open the door for me make I comot. I no go collect anythin from you.

Me: How much you go pay me?

Policeman: Ah! I neva hustle anythin since morning. Na only N1,000 dey wit me.

Me: You neva ready.
(I looked back at the dog).

Policeman: Ok ok ok ok ok, e reach N2,000. The oda N1,000 na my wife own, but I go give you join.
(Now, close to tears as the dog was becoming really impatient)
Oga, I be......g, Oga, sorry. Take the N2,000 make you open the door plssssssse!

Me: Oya, bring am. (I collected the N2,000 & allowed him out of the car)

Policeman: God punish you. Idiot, e no go ever better for you and your yeye dog. Wicked man!!!

My Bulgarian boo sent this to me...... too freaking FUNNY :-)

20 THINGS I'VE LEARNT IN MY 20s

1.       People Change, People Grow Apart

2.       There are only a handful of people you will realize you can honestly trust

 

3.       Two people can look at the exact same thing and have two completely different views – it’s ok

 

4.       No matter how horrible the situation is, it’s not the end of the world

 

5.       My mom will say – “it’s what you eat that is your own” lol meaning do/eat/laugh at the things YOU enjoy (try and do it often)

 

6.       Learn to SAVE and save some more…

 

7.       Splurge on yourself every once in a while, it’s healthy

 

8.       Volunteer every once in a while, it’ll keep you grounded

 

9.       Don’t hold on to situations/people/a job or anything that will make you unhappy

 

10.   Hard Work pays of – simple

 

11.   Call your parents more often

 

12.   Focus on your goals/career/becoming a better YOU

 

13.   Your loved ones will disappoint you every now and then, it’s ok

 

14.   Don’t trust EVERYONE

 

15.   We live in a dog-eat-dog-world, don’t be naïve

 

16.   DON’T compare yourself to others, that’s the first step to disaster

 

17.   Read more, watch TV less

 

18.   Say NO sometimes and don’t explain yourself

 

19.   Be kind, for everyone is fighting one battle or the other

 

20.   Whenever you get close to giving up on your dreams, reconsider

Picture It...

“He is about to start driving so you ask to enter the passenger seat but he refuses. You ask that he unlock the door so you can at least open it yourself and enter behind, but the doors are locked shut. He turns on the engine and he is about to start driving so you quickly hold on to the bumper of the car. As he drives, he passes one pot hole after another, you are getting badly bruised,.. he keeps driving and you keep getting hurt. So you finally let go of the bumper cause you are badly bruised but he just keeps driving.”

Does the above scenario describe a relationship you are in today? If YES – GET THE FUCCCCKKKKKKKK OUT!!!!!!!! I’ve heard, seen, and experienced a lot of good and bad – relationship wise. In that same context I’ve seen so many young women hanging on to that bumper all in the name of holding on to love. You are deceiving yourself and setting yourself up for disaster BIG TIME.

I’m no expert but someone once told me,.. loving someone – being in a relationship is not about YOU,.. it’s about the other person. Bullshit.. if you are hurting unbearably in anyway in a relationship- it’s not a relationship. So get out, NOW.

My post this pleasant morning is to tell YOU it’s ok ,… to let go cause sometimes staying in a verbal or physical abusive relationship often times leads to disaster and regret. Sometimes when a relationship does not work out in your favor – look at it as a blessing in disguise.

Question – when did YOU let go of the bumper? When is enough, enough? Where you forced to let go? Did you take the initiative of letting go?

Btw – that story was from the Gilmore Girls –Season 07/Episode 01 Incase you want to see that particular scene… take a look below!

Love that show…. Wish they’d bring out a movie to conclude the series.

Have a blessed week ahead :)

HELLO!!!

Hi People,

I have been disconnected from the world for more than a bit and I still am!

My family and I experienced a tragic event that still seems unreal and unshakable on March 10^th 2012. It has held me back for years and is still pulling me back from socializing or giving a crap about life events, work and people. I know it sounds sad – but it’s the truth. It’s funny how a single event can change your entire life. When people used to tell me that exact thing, I thought what Bullshit? C’mon – how can any “one” event changed your entire life – how is that even possible? Ohhh,… It’s possible.

Yesterday, a friend asked me why I don’t blog anymore – I tried looking for a good excuse as to why I don’t blog – still looking. So today I decided to Blog – simple.

I have missed how it feels to open up to a world of the unknown. That’s the great thing about the internet – it has completely revolutionized the way we communicate almost to a fault; and the multitude of people who have access to information from any place at any given time. AMAZING!

So what’s been going on with ME – let’s see
#1 – New City, New Job – As 2013 was coming to a close – I prayed for three things to happen in 2014. I’m not kidding when I say I got everything I wanted this year. Truth! Scary almost.

#2 – A niece or two, really? God gives and he takes. April 18^th 2012 my elder sister gave birth to the most beautiful baby on the planet – we call her Miss. J. She’s expecting another any day now.

#3 – New Friends, New Lessons – I don’t have a ton of “friends”, not because I am unfriendly; but because I like to keep my circle really close; My personal preference.

#4 – A Dog? For the longest time, I have wanted a little cute puppy – well I got one. He’s name is Louie and he’s the most adorable best friend a gal could have. He’s of mixed breed, a bichon fries and tibetan terrier. Love him.

Ok… that’s all I have to share ATM! Just for those over analytical people, this list was NOT put in any specific order. As it comes to my mind, I type PERIOD

What is going on in this world:-
I’ve listed a few shocking stories (in no particular order) that have tormented me.

1.       What in the world was this little possessed child thinking. I can’t imagine what the parents of these victimized kids must have experienced. Most importantly, I can’t imagine if my child was one of the babies at this daycare – I probably would have been locked up. I can’t even blame the possessed “child of the corn” all the way because according to my research he was under the influence of medication. That notwithstanding, wrong is wrong – whether sane or insane. However, my curse goes out to the old witch they employed at that daycare for ALLOWING all this to happen. Just horrifying!!

2.       Getting ready for work, every now and then I turn the channel to CNN. I’m not a huge fan of watching any news station in the morning because from nowhere they tend to pop a dead body or two. I don’t need that early in the morning, no one needs that. I just never understood why people watch the news so early in the morning, religiously. I get watching it every now and then but every morning – what, do you enjoy hearing bad news? Let’s be practical, majority of the time, news in this world be it from a media outlet, a neighbor or a friend is 70% bad. Is it possible that people are attracted to tragedies? If the news was happy would less people watch it because it would be unrealistic? Let me backtrack, I appreciate knowing what’s going on in the world and being up to date with the events that are happening. However, the information most times is SAD! As such, I try and filter my news portion and of course in the process I miss some stories. Yes, like this convicted serial child molester and sicccccccckkkkkkkkkkooooooooo, Jerry Sandusky. I missed that….

Or, this gruesome one – missed that too….  http://www.informationng.com/2014/11/man-caught-eating-dead-womans-face-in-hotel-room-in-the-uk-2.html

This was fun,.. going back to work now! I’ll be back J Have a blessed morning.

OSORO'S NUGGET - THAT FACE OF YOURS

Just in case you missed it in an earlier nugget, I take delight as I repeat that I believe in God, the maker of heaven and earth. And why not? He put on display His magnificence as He created the entire universe, and all of the goodness in it. With great attention to detail, He added function to structure as He made all that we see, and put sense in every bit of creation. Then to crown it all, He made humans; all 7 billion of us, in varying colors, shapes and sizes. He made me, and that in itself is worthy of commendation.

He made us all: the big, the bold and the beautiful. He made the “wanna-be” and the size 0. And like that effort wasn't enough; he went a step further by giving to us the masterpiece of art called the face. From eye brows of varying lengths, to noses that range in size from cute to humongous. He gave teeth to grace a mouth, and hairs of varying textures in places high and low. The result of His artistry is a planet filled with faces of all kinds; some riddled with character and others with questions, but all no less unique. We pay so little attention to facial expressions that we miss the nitty-gritty of human communications. We make no effort to read between the lines and beyond the words.

We sadly are not in the position to provide any lessons on decoding facial lingo today, but beyond a smile or a frown, beneath a wrinkle or a dimple, lies the truth no words can tell you. In the brightness of their eyes, from the twitch of the nose, and in the tightness of their chin lies the missing words of truth we’d much rather hear. Put yourself to the test: mute your television while your favorite soap opera is on the air. You’ll be amazed by the interpretations you make of human gesticulation and facial expressions. Not all of our facial muscles are within our control, and this is for a reason. In the involuntary expressions lie the true emotions many words will never convey...
