CURE TO MY SMALL POX

By




I was nauseous and tingly all over. I was either in love or I had small pox.



My second semester in campus and it is all the time I needed to know the class genius or as you may please chopii, the party animals, the know-it all, back-benchers, class representatives, mean lecturers, dean of students (this one I knew since my day one, keep your dean of students close cause you never know...you might graduate with first class honors without knowing it haha!) , entertainment arena, the lecture halls, master the timetable, master my students' registration number and master the art of smiling. - Yes, smiling. I believe smiling can get you anything.


So I get to interact with some students and filtered out some to form a study group to help with the assignments and discuss on "tough" units.




Here, they have CCTV cameras in the examination halls. Okay,not functioning ones. But wait, why incur such an expense in installation? So Yes, very much functioning ones.
But still you'd find students copying from tiny writings on their palms, little papers containing all the formulas and even a whole booklet or handout from lectures! Unless a lecturer finds you in such mischievous act, you'd walk out the exam room assured of grade A.
So, do those cameras really work rather put into practice? And the way I am jobless they could just give me a part time job of going through the footage after each end of semester examinations so as to discipline such culprits.
But would I be doing justice to myself? I cannot afford to watch a footage of me copying. haha!!!


But just as this Campus Rover Segment by Ian Duncan: How to cheat in an exam, " These invigilators are actually not bad at all. Instead of sneaking in those little papers (mwakenya) and risking disciplinary, just ask. Even if they say NO, what do you have to lose?"
Well, I add to this that you could find yourself a sitting mate during the exams bora you do not talk the entire time. Eat lots of carrots, i hear they are good for eyesight or buy you some "reading spectacles" (I personally own a pair) so you can improve on your copying skills.




Now now, it is during this second semesters' final exam and it happens that my class chopii is standing beside me in the exam hall and everyone is shouting out for his name so he could sit beside them during the exam. At this point I'm just concentrating on dusting out my desk and it took me by surprise when he pointed at me signaling to everyone saying "niko na huyu". I was nauseous and tingly all over. I was either in love or I had small pox.


With all my 7 units beside the chopii throughout the exam and I happened to get 5As and 2Bs and I'm so freaky f* proud of myself. (cmon you just do not expect to get everything out of copying while kinda struggling) Kwanza I'd have gotten like only 2As, 3Bs and 2Cs if I was to "die" alone in that exam room.




I am now in my final year and Mardhit (the chopii) is still my exam savior and am doing just fine. All I'm to do is just sit beside or behind him during the exam to get those As. Forget about my first semisters' results cause boy...!!! haha
Oh, he's Arab by the way, this Mardhit guy and so damn cute you'd wonder ulikosea Mungu nini but hey I just want that first class honors so the thought of his amazing dimples, how he wore his sleeves folded with that glittering masculine wrist watch, breath taking cologne and well groomed hair was out of question, at least for now. I cannot afford to get back to my Cs haha!


Also, I can't wait for our graduation this coming November where I will watch and fantasize about what it would be like to actually be the object of his desire, have him gaze deeply into my eyes and be the reason those breath taking dimples make an appearance.

Till now, I'm nauseous and tingly all over. I am either in Love or I have small pox. haha!

MALIVANI II

By
      Today it wasn't normal at my house. It was the D day. My day. My bags packed with my NEW everything and a wooden 'box' as the school requested.   And there I was, making faces to my brother, laughing at him that he didn't have any new things as I had. He just starred as if to say "woiye baby sis I just wish you knew what awaits you" But I didn't care, I was going to UKAMBANI school, with my new SHOES. I'm going to beat them all in exam, those kamba kids. Exam results was my pride, more so in Mathematics. So I'm going to show them. I kept telling myself.     The whole ride from Wote town, where I put on my NEW uniform on, was silent. Not one word was spoken. We all kept our thoughts to ourselves until we came to a stop. That's when I realised we were parked outside the school's gate. I turned to my parents just to confirm they are going to sleep in the school compound too and they did. Bingo! I had totally nothin...

THE COMMON BEACH WEAR

By
So, at one point in my life, I worked in the print media hoping to get myself through to the TV.  I managed to get some of my articles published with my own byline. ( Treeza can testify to this. hehe.)Well that's a story for another day. This particular one i wrote on 29/1/2014. Titled it THE COMMON BEACH WEAR IN RELATION TO OUR HEALTH, got itself published through so today I'll just give it a small touch. My articles always paved way in the LIFESTYLE column in the newspaper. Oh and by the way, Owiti Samwel, I call him Witty (I'll definitely write about him someday so relax), has been one of my loyal 'fans' throughout my print and radio experience. ( I just wanted to point it out to feel good. lol) #80403 Most of us choose to purchase used clothing for a variety of reasons. It can be down to them being cheaper than having to purchase new clothing fresh off the rack or it can be down to many having a preference of vintage clothing which has been pa...

MY CUP OF TEA

By
" Every time I get my period, it is just like a green light saying - you're not pregnant, carry on girl!" LOL So, the last time I updated, it was on the abortion issue and that if women cannot back out of pregnancies then men shouldn't be able to either. I got quite some reactions. Personally. Well, if you haven't had a read yet, you can peek so we could be on the same page here. Sexually transmitted infections are on the rise among all age groups, as is the abortion rate. But wait, today, in my country, or is it just in the circle of people I happen to know? Well, the number of single parents, more so mothers, has risen. Or do I say trending! It is a lifestyle now. It is as if there is something compulsive about playing the lottery of pregnancy and sexually transmitted infection. I wonder whether unprotected sex is one of the ways in which young people unconsciously explore their anxieties. Young people aren't stupid. Okay, they get dr...
