Memoirs

This is home. I've been away for what seems like eternity. Like its often said....east or west....home is best. Am loving the feel of my warm almost thread bare blanket....smells so home.....mmmmmmmhhh-how i missed the tiny ants running up the latrine wall. Home....how many years has it been? 10? 20? who knows? I lost count. Remember how i used to hide behind this same building...yes the latrine building to run away from the group heading to the village borehole for water. And now, here I am sitting again....this time not hiding from a trip to the water place....but hiding from My Beloved Grandma's cries of pain. She always looked so invincible to me....Like someone who would never die. She is not supposed to go just yet. Dear God, please here my plea. I still need her. Even when am dodging boda boda cyclists back in Kampala, or trying to close a deal that will make my boss millions richer....at the end of the day....I still need to know Jajja Flo is there somewhere and when ...

READ THIS VERY SLOWLY.... IT'S PRETTY PROFOUND. Too many people put off something that brings them joy just because they haven’t thought about it, don't have it on their schedule, didn't know it was coming or are too rigid to depart from their routine. I got to think one day about all those women on the Titanic who passed up dessert at dinner that fateful night in an effort to cut back. From then on, I've tried to be a little more flexible. How many women out there will eat at home because their husband didn't suggest going out to dinner until after something had been thawed? Does the word "refrigeration" mean nothing to you? How often have your kids dropped in to talk and sat in silence while you watched 'Jeopardy' on television? I cannot count the times I called my sister and said, "How about going to lunch in a half hour?" She would gas up and stammer, "I can't. I have clothes on the line. My hair is dirty. I wish I ...

They often say: 'what goes around, comes around' Are they right, or are they right!!!!!!!! am so infatuated with this guy, and many a time, I have actually thought, he's the one. I don't know why i can't see that am a just a means to an end. and am not the end. Well, it will not help beating myself about it, but indulge me. PLEASE!!! well, yet again, am being played, and am so gullible it hurts, all he has to do is smile. yes, we are talking Mr. Lover again. But this time, maybe I deserve it. I am seeing someone else who is madly in love with me and seeing Mr.Lover. So what goes around Sure does come around. want to cry so badly it hurts. But am not gonna do anything stupid this time. will let it pass. and life will move on. Won't even mention a word, let alone refer to it. "ndi ne Jajja wange, ne Rinah" \Those words hurt, like hell.

Sometimes we wonder why we get so unhappy. Many a time we want to blame it on someone else, Like Milli Vanilli says, 'Blame it on the rain' and Yes, it has to be someone or something else but not you. Well, here I am, very unhappy, As in Very UNHAPPY. Life sucks, as in it sucks. But one thing is for sure, am not blaming it on anyone else, Not even the rain. I got myself here and I'll have to find a way of getting out. it hurts and hurts so bad, am in love with someone I should not be in love with You know, those un available men? Guys out there talk to me. the ladies who have been there done that, please tell me what i should do. I keep telling myself, I'll wake up in the morning and voila, i won't think about him, I won't call him etc. I have done so much for this relationship and it hurts me that I just cannot treat it as something casual. It started out casually but now I can't help but feel so sad. They say, pray....I pray, I try yes I try to love Jesus ...

( Tone: loving, closely holding your hands and looking into your eyes) Am one woman who treasures relationships, reason, coz the power of love is one strong force amongst many that keeps my world spinning. Anyway, I always insist that a river can’t rise beyond its source just like we can’t change our past. Life is hard, and only the resilient ones survive. Precisely, that’s why am writing you this note, after a well thought out recap of our lives. (Takes an exasperated breath, then winks passionately) The sky is blue, looks so spectacular. The birds are so free; gracefully doing what they do best while am seated underneath planning my next move. Something tickles my toe, and the image of your smile, somewhat prepared to draw closer and give a deep breathtaking kiss, flashes along my memory line. I think of you, your daily encounters, and for sure there are countless things we took for granted. (Looking and sounding serious, as if engrossed in deep thought ) Did you ever ask yourself, “...

I sit there, UMEME has decided am not worth their services anymore. The candle light just can't help me. I need to see my bed, i haven't even had a bite...well i was just about to...its 3 am. had this interesting movie i was watching, and the lights just went off. Wow, am scared, am not even seeing my feet, well, atleast i can feel them. help me out. who supplies better power...reliable that is.

Mornings, are my favorite bits of the day. Take instance today, it' s a Monday. Usually I hate Monday's, but today, it was a different story, very different
