I want a ride home
I was now two weeks old in the school and the matron could no longer wash my clothes. Not because i learnt how to do my laundry but because I had two std.8 girls fighting for me. He he i just wanted to say that...cause it feels nice. Right?
 
 
Ndunge got me from my first morning in the school as she argued out and now Esther, argued herself out that she's from the coast. I couldn't choose. They were all nice. I was just there like a little princess. Did i forget to say shaven? Yes shaven. Bald. Everyone was. You should see my ears when bald. Satellite.
 
 
thanks to Ndunge I had a nice stay
 
Okay. I always had clean clothes. My suitcase well arranged. Never bullied. Was i a pet? I don't know.
But one thing i never got used to in this school is the FOOD and my home sick got stronger each day.
"Mimi sili sima ya kuungua. Sinywi uji. Sili pojo. Sili hiki, sili kile..."
It was my daily song. It's funny how i turned down greengrams as it was actually my favourite back home.
They called greengrams NDENGU. Learn reader. Learn.
 
 
The matron noted my faded appetite. My soap dish protruded like they were really soap dishes. I mean my color bones.
To the deputy headmaster and he entitled me to special diet.
Interesting.
 
So, whenever people were having porridge, which was twice in the morning hours btw, i was enjoying my TEA. (Hot water mixed with sugar and drinking chocolate)
The only thing I'd enjoy eating with the rest was the githeri i dispised on my interview day, muthokoi (my favourite), rice - cooked on Saturdays, meat a big piece each and you got lucky if you got a boned one.
Plus there was something when cooked looked like rice mara ugali...they called it NZENGA. This, I hated with passion.
don't feed me that please

      "Nani anataka kwenda boarding school?" My mother asked as we just sat there starring at her wondering what she meant by boarding school. Oh! And so it happened I was the only one who didn't understand as my brother replied saying he would never to to boarding and if it reached a time for him to be in high school then my parents should be living in the neighbouring.     So now my parents turned to me with a warm smile, explained what it meant by boarding school. The fact that I'd leave behind my new friends, ( in case i forgot to mention, we were just a few months old in this town #80403 so i managed to pick out a few friends in the school i was at ), made me be hesitant. "You will have new uniforms, new shoes, anything that you'll want you'll have it new" that's my father saying. My brother just shook his head as if to pity me.     Mmmh...new shoes! I thought to myself. I've always wanted to have these bata toug

EXCITED ABOUT YOU AT 25?

By
So, a close friend of mine suggested that I write about LIFE AT 25.(hey Clinton)  Well, I am not 25 - maybe not yet or already past it (guess you'll never know, lol). But come to think of it, there's so much to talk and write about it. One thing I know for sure is that most of us expect to have figured out everything (having a job,that dream car and a perfect life partner - name it all) by this age. People tend to feel so much pressure around this age. Society has a way to burden people with the many unnecessary expectations. Someone, actually at some point my boss, once told me, "If you won't have been married by age 25, forget about getting married!" Now all I could think of was finding me a boyfriend. What if no one wanted me? What if I end up having those creepy lonely nights without a husband? What will become of me without a complete perfect family of my own? What would people think about me? All this until one day I realized that 25 is

WHAT IF IT LEAKS OUT

By
I know you probably think i am to talk about sperm or semen leaking out of the vagina after intercourse. By the way, can you still conceive if sperm leaks out after having sex? And yes, it is normal for sperm to leak out of the vagina after sex because there was enough of the ejaculate, I think. Again, can you still conceive if sperm leak out? Well, I am no expert in this but if he ejaculates deeply inside you, then no matter how much it leaks out, enough sperm will have reached the cervical mucus. PHEW! Now you already think I am to talk about Kenya. More so these people like Chebukati, sijui ChiloBAE, IEBC itself. The two main Presidential seat candidates and how sijui who leaked what about FORM THARI FOUR what and what mara Maraga, NAH, I pass. I have come across so many definitions of a Human Being and that which interested me the most is this; " The only animal that can remain on friendly terms with the victims he intends to eat until he eats them."
