Pork fast with boo

As far as i can remember, i never notice the lent period go by. This time, my boo and i decided to fast Pork for the lent period. We are so crazy about Pork and could eat it any day and any time but this time we decided to be off it for about two months. The fact that we were doing it for God made us ignore our love for it and put God first. We struggled as we passed pork joints and we also had to refuse it when we were at our marriage counselor's home at two different sessions. Up to this day, i respect all those who decide not to eat Pork coz if i told myself that, i would be lying to myself. I this pork is one of the best things that God ever thought of creating and it is so funny that pigs do not even know that they taste that good but gosh, that meat is heavenly. This has been such a fun lent period and now my boo and I can look back at the past two months and know that we made a genuine sacrifice. I am not sure if i can ever do anything like this again but i guess if i have my boo consoling me its possible. So that was our interesting and trying lent period. Happy Easter and please get yourselves some pork coz i sure will get myself some.

life after the wedding

You know its amazing that the last time i checked everyone is asking me about the wedding, my next step, how far with everything and i find it very interesting. Right now as i have started counseling, it occurs to me that we make such a fuss about the big day and forget to think about the marriage. That is where i am at now...THE MARRIAGE. I truly know i am in love with my boo and there is no looking around or turning back for me. I know i want to spend the rest of my life with him. I know he means the world to me and i know i would be a very different person now if i hadn't met him. We all know how it is when you are still staying under your parents care but when all is said and done( in church) we start our life together and much as we have a lot in common, we are two very different people who have decided to commit to each other and make it through with God. I am waiting to enjoy myself, enjoy my marriage, enjoy spending time with my friend with NO LIMITS and enjoy the fruits of it all.

Note; Children are a gift from God and they do not complete, make or build a marriage and if anyone thinks so they have got it all wrong and need to consult THE BOOK. So i am happy for all those who are happily married, faithful to each other with total commitment and i cant wait to join you.....hehehe

anxiety

There is nothing as terrible as anxiety, it gives you discomfort, squashes you, pokes you, makes you nervous, irritates you and yet most times when it comes, its inevitable. Here i am waiting for the results of a scholarship interview. I have done everything to keep my mind off the idea but it still pokes me because i still live in the unknown. I know that all the people there at the interview had potential so i guess that is what makes me so nervous. There was the confident guy, the loud chic, the chic who panicked the most, the quiet guy, the talkative chic, the hopeful one, the guy who had been through it before and then me. In all this i remember what one guy said," its not the end of the world and whatever the results are, its okay and one doesn't have to get stressed about all this." I was encouraged! But then again, here i am, nervous like never before. Anxious like never before but hopeful and sure that God is definitely faithful to see me through this moment. He has done before and so why not now and today when it all seems so tight. I will keep hopeful because this is the only way i can beat this anxiety.

the babies

yesterday was one hell of a night when G got the babies to the farm. It was like this huge thing we had waited for this whole time. It was like finally we were starting something we knew nothing about, kind of like marriage, first day of school, you could think of a couple of things that you would try out as a first time.

6.30pm, the radiator gets a problem, we stop at a petrol station to see that we get it fixed. It gets better for a while but the babies are still waiting at the shop. The owner of the shop says he has to leave at 7pm. We start panicking a bit but not quite because we know its just a distance away. When we got to the round about, we realised we dint know where the shop was and started asking but luckily with all the uncertainty, we got there.

They were yellow, cute, precious and so sweet but 7 of them couldn't make it because they were tired of waiting. So we took our 293 yellow feathery babies away. I had to drop off for further duties but G had to go through the annoying traffic jam, deal with the annoying radiator and drive to a far place that would be the new home of the babies.

Through all the hustle, 290 babies are now smiling, running around and screaming this morning. Thanks to G who had to suffer and hustle to get the babies safe to their new home. Thanks be to the one and only God who will see us through it all. Well done little ones

the proposal

When i touched the serviettes i felt a box and then it hit me, OH MY GOD!!!! He has just proposed. i couldn't believe it. This was a huge thing and i couldn't believe he was doing this, i opened the box and it was the most beautiful ring i had ever seen. It was pretty and then i got emotional. He had made a commitment, that was so touching, so beautiful and so humbling, i was stunned and i cried because it was such a beautiful thing that had just happened. He said he dint see a future without me. He knew i was the one and had even told his mother about it.

i said yes and i wore the pretty ring. It was lovely and then he drove me to his place where i found other people waiting to surprise me. It was a lovely evening. Mum called and she had known about the surprise, so did senga, my brother and everyone else. It was the most beautiful weekend ever. The weekend when a man proposed to me, a man committed the rest of his life to me. A man promised to be there for me until death do us part. The man did not stop there, he let the whole world know it. He had pulled it off, he had surprised me. He had brought joy into my heart. He had given his whole life on earth to me. and by saying yes i have accepted and given him mine in return.

God the maker of heaven and creator of love, created these moments, for us to enjoy, to express and to live them but not forget that before all these moments is his first love that he gave up for us. I am humbled, i am speechless, totally thankful and obviously in love

beauty of life

you know how the worst can happen when you least expect it. Its so interesting the way we think of what to do next, cry, let it go, talk about it with someone. Sing, go watch a movie, name it, there is always a solution. Today i did get a negative response about something i have been waiting for for a long time. i thought i deserved it but God said no. I had prayed, read verses, hoped to get this scholarship but nothing. I still have another shot at another scholarship but i guess God is trying to tell me that life doesnt always turn out the way we expected it to and when it doesnt, its not the end of the world but another chance to believe pray and trust, be blessed for all those who got disappointed today like i did. Life is not exactly a bed of roses but you can make it one in the way you face your trials and tribulations. praise God.

two can play that game but still get hurt

So, i find out he is cheating but i would be so stupid to go out and do the same thing because after finding him i thought he was really cheap, so i cant go out to be cheap too...listen to myself i am totally hurt i cant be thinking logically right now, i must act according to my emotions. So i will go out to that restaurant that he usually goes to for supper tonight with Kyle and pay back i can't let him get away with it so proudly.

Oh Gosh she caught me! I was supposed to end this last week but Bella just could not stop calling me. I knew it was wrong i still cared alot about Tricia but i couldn't help it Bella kind of still had a hold of me. I just couldn't break it off with Tricia, i did not want to hurt her but i knew by not telling her i would hurt her more than breaking it off with her. I think i was selfish because i felt i could just stay with them both till i made up my mind but look where it has got me.I'll go hang with the guys for supper then get back and just hit the sack.

So he saw me with Kyle at the restaurant and i know it hurt him because Kyle is one of those guys he detests; but look how far it has got me am not feeling any better. Am still hurt and i still want to punch him in the face but at the sametime i still care about the jerk, why? i don't even know how long he has had it with that tramp! Anyway its going to hurt for quite a while but i have to end this now. We've been together for too long but i have to call it quits because using Kyle to make me feel better and hurt Travice is not helping. i just end up crying at the end of the day because i still have it bad for Travice even after all this.

So now she is with Kyle, i have no right to be jealous or angry when i have been with Bella. I thought Bella was better so i let it go on, so there is no reason to sit here sulking. Tricia will never forgive me and now i realise what a great person she is but i know she won't forgive me and let me back in...thats what hurts so much.

...to be continued...

amusing moments

have you ever had those moments or opportunities to just stop and check out the amusement in a situation. Now i remember one of those discussions times on campus when we thought it was inevitable to discuss and by all means found people to discuss something with. So now ofcourse the group contains all these different people and i took time to analyse everyone. There is the ambitious serious one who will always bring you back to the subject when the members get excited and drift off, then there is the one who always finds a reason to crack a joke in the middle of the discussion, then there is the one who will not know the subject at all, actually may not even know the reason why the group is meeting, then the day dreamer who will always drift off no matter the topic probably because their thought are in agreement with the one who doesnt get the point of the discussion and the one who always appears early for discussions but says nothing through the whole discussion maybe the whole point was so he would not miss the points others are going to give. There is the one who always leads the discussion maybe because they are more outspoken and outgoing in the discussion, then there are the ones who will always be in between all thees categories depending on the topic thees ones are seasonal and are the best because with them you are assured that there will always be someone in the mood for the discussion. There is the one who never appears for discussions but then that keeps me wondering how they became part of the group in the first place. Finally there is the one who sits there and just studies and analyses them all. you know what the group would never be interesting without all these guys.

where is our zoo

now u know when my brother decided to take us to the zoo to pass the day i was seriously looking forward to the whole trip, that i was ready an hour before and this is not really me if am going for a party please u have to lie to me and tell me the party is earlier than its actual time. so we get to the zoo so excited and ok first of all the main paths are terrible they should be tarmac by now but i chose to ignore that... then half the animals we saw wen we were kids are either dead or on leave; actually i think they knew about the recent earthquake before it occured and migrated. Trust me all these could be possibilities. Then i forgave them but the part i really wanted to see which were the monkeys, we found a large poster at the entrance saying restricted area and is if that was not enough already, then we had to look for the zebra that was also miles away. Anyway in the long run we did not see it. Ok i know i have made it sound like a disaster but the donkey ride was abit of an experience. Its just that i really thought things get better as the years go by but i dont think we still have a zoo. i think what we have is a habitant for afew animals.

the chogm coming

u know it sounds like the second coming but trust me thats a bit of blasphemy over there; but for sure its ok to use it as an image so thats what am driving at....ok so i'll tell you why it called it that...the streets have been swept and repaired, the shoeshine in New Vision termed it as 'the potholes in kampala being on leave', hotels have been built, staff is just being done right, like as if the queen is going to come here and say uganda can now go to heaven for its cleanliness and beautiful hotels...imagine that. someone once said that i think it would be better to stay the way we are think about it especially if u r a politician, more funds to embezzle. she would find the place so pathetic she would have to feel sorry for us and donate to the cleanliness ,then she would also send money for the health of those already affected and more to build better structures...real cool dont you think. with all these nigerian movies here all the delegates from Nigeria would have alot of their own entertainment thus left comfortable and feeling more at home. i mean just think about it instead of acting like the second coming and pretending to be what we are not we could just turn this whole thing into a business.

its a small world

if you are a lady you will definitely back me up on this. Do you know that ladies are related to the whole world or atleast in Uganda,this is because everywhere you go you will be reffered to as "sister, mama, mwanyinaze" which also means sister and every guy you pass just assumes you are family. This gets me wondering and thinking who and where all thse step brothers came from because they assume we are related and you know whats so funny is thes people or guys for that matter will soon be asking you out after assuming you are related........wow ,what a world
