Memory Lane

Early mornings and good memories, i woekup today like everyone dreading Mondays like every bit of it.

First its gloomy and dark but still hot and moist, i have my hair curled out yesterday i tried this new hair curl moisturizer that my big sister got me and since i was in need of hair therapy i washed and dried my hair and then dee conditioned it with some hair food eggs mayonise and lemons ohh it felt soo healthy afterward (Yes i lowkey feel guilty i have paid my hair no mind since i got here in my own defence i barely have Me time honestly)… Anyway soo afterwards i then did this Hair mosituriser and then half did bantu knots half bradided my hair yes am that lazy and then i decided leas heat was a good idea since Dar is hot as it is anywas i slept in it and then wokeup to curls but they where still moist and i was in a hurry as i am every morning so i decided they will have to do

Anyway back to what i was saying, soo in the midst of all that and more , one of my good girlfriends sent me an old photo from last summer ohhh how i wish time could take a spin or just please take me back there,

On this particular day we wen about town aimlesly as usual, we would look for any excuse just to roam n eat ofcourse (You should see her short nice curved self, all the weight goes on me SMH Life though 😩) Anyways soo we went on looking about and ohh yes aimlesly i fell in lve with a Brown block hill that i had no budget on but since we are the worst influences on eachother i got it (Turned out yo be my Graduation shoe can you emagine Hihihi) Ohh so we went dining at some spot i loved.

Okey BIBLIOTHEQUE deserves a new paragraph alltogether that is one of the best places iv ever been to not just the food the whole place is one to leave quite a memorable scene, the outdoors are amazing with the umbrellas on top colourfup n fashionable and then the insides with the moolkshelves and the flass floors with a little art below alltogther the one place i could go back to on and on, we first went out for dinner and writting up of our projects with my SOS squad and it was amazing and then we went again fr my girls birthday one that we unsuccesfully tried to Suprise her smh buh Alice though anyways and then this day with Bibz again and on and on

So seeing this picture below had me railing months back in time, i love it 🤷🏾‍♀️

Hello From The other Side..

Dear Readers,

it has been a minute since a last wrote. Alot has happened since then too, one of them being that i finnaly got a job, yeeeey well anyone that knows me knows that i am passionate about people and was looking forward to having my career cick in Social work, but unfortunately the job i got is quite indifferent to that. I work as a Sales and Marketing Director for a company named TANZANIA RENT A CAR, and i love it here. I was always quite uncertain of working in a different field first because i thought i would have waisted all my knowledge for what?? then what if i was not so good at this new sector, then what?? but little did i know it all lays within you, once you put your head to it, and just put your everything it works out as good as nothing. I might not be where i want to be but i know so far i am happy and life is a lader im only on the first stand, many ahead to go to achieve my dreams and goasl.

I will certainly write often now that i am settled. I can not wait to share with you my working experience, my new city experience ohh did i mention it was in a whole new city SMH…(i will get into details when i write next, untill then ….)

*** XOXO****

NEW YEARS

Dear Readers,

Happy New Years Everyone!!!!
I personally can not believe the year just winded up like that, for me i feel like Thanksgiving, Christmas and all should have been a warning enough but no its like the warning never came … Last year to me felt like three four years all in one, i swear it was that long. I had like the toughest school year being my final, i had a great experience interning for POST RESEARCH INSTITUTE Doing phenomenal things like education women and the youths on human rights, dealing with like seminars for educating on peace culture and also saving the environment, epic time i tell you, i also got to graduate ohh it felt like the long wait was over, little did i know

 

Yes the wait was over after a 4 year journey that came with so much growth and achievements and failures too and what also gave me the best experiences and even the passion for blogging, it was time to close one and open a new leaf, i was nervous like anyone else that would ask themselves now what, But then i held on to the little hope in me that it will be okay

Fast forward another year now, months later, i feel like i am more or less in the same spot of uncertainty  only now i am more okay i can admit, i still don”t know what my future holds but unlike last year i am okay with it, i realise putting a lot of pressure on myself will not change anything, so i wait for the future with open arms, i look forward to 2018 being a phenomenal year

Last night a very good friend of mine, she believes in horoscopes and stuff and i would always taunt her that is “juju”  bitta! But we would play around , she believes in that and i for one told her as long as that works for you then that is what matters, we all need something we believe in, it holds us more closer to hope i believe, She said “your a Scorpio right, well this is your year” and i just told her off, but later on after the conversation i though why wouldn’t it be, well i am ready for you either way 2018…

So for anyone out there that sometimes feels, stuck and just doesn’t know what tomorrow holds, i would say live today worry about now and that it, it doesn’t kill us to live in the moment it actually makes us wiser better and alive, its better to be dead than be alive and yet not live….

Foodie, Quick&Easy..

Hello Readers

If anyone else loved some good food like i do, i am sure there are some too that love it but then do not really have the time of day to start making a whole long recipe ,i mean a have nothing against good long recipe’s but hey  quick and easy is the way forward.

I made this easy brunch one morning, it took me no less than some minutes. Now all you need is some eggs, and potatoes, and a little bit of veggies just to make it healthier. First dip fry the potato chips or wedges how you like them, i prefer cutting my own potatoes against buying frozen fries, and then on a separate pan, pit some oil and fry some onions, carrots, green paper and tomatoes cut in cubical shape, and then if you like me love spice, add some black pepper and a little  lemon and aromat if possible, leave it a minute and then break the eggs on the mixture o not steer and then let t steamer on for a few minutes, until the cow-eye egg is looking ready… Serve with fries and TADAAAA !!!!!

CHRISTMAS FAIR…

Hello Guys…

“Dashing through the snow(what snow my africa), in a one-horse open sleigh, O’er the fields we go, laughing all the way…….” Picture me singing that in my ohh Christmas your here voice… Oh well firstly we don’t have snow at all where am at so in the Christmas spirit just bare with me singing, but this is the jolly mood i get when i think of Christmas fair…

This was my very first Fair, being the first time in a while that i’m home for christmas i haven’t been to any of these, and this one was all the more beautiful.. i loved the setup and it was like living through the Christmas experience all through,the scene,  the decorations to the very detail of it oh and activities, they had beautiful settings and the stalls for different groups from women groups, and display of wooden materials to woven ones, Arts and graphical, to Jewelers, food&drinks stalls(My favorite as you can already tell)and i loved that hey comprehended every age,race, ethnicity into this, they had people performing and also a group doing acrobats with a sense of arts and music together when i tell you it was beautiful, it sure was no lie.

My favorite part was that although it was a Christmas fair, they embraced our African Culture and incorporated the whole African theme in it from local beer to like barbecue, and most of all from the African prints and accessories and art it was just beyond beautiful.

All in all it was such a splendid experience, me my friend and my darling nephew, who if i might add was so hyped and allover the place and we did thee mistake of adding ice cream to his hype and God did we see the perks of it. But i would not have had it or enjoyed it any otherway.. (: (: (:

 

My Canoeing Experience..🚣🏾‍♀️🚣🏾

Hello…

Soo how many out there are as scared of water as i am??? Lord me and depths Good Lord, but then over the years i have tried overcoming my fears , technically i had to, i went to University in an Island, i kept thinking one day this thing might sink and i cant even try help myself or worse when summer arrived and the heat just gave you the confidence , so i never went for swiming classes i just dedicated myself here and there ohh and no im not a good swimmer at all, i seriously cant swim to save a life even my own, if i went into details yooo you would crackup..

But fast forward to this fall, after graduating i came back home and the struggle began,so one day me and my girls were invited over some friends where hanging out and we were suprised by the location, quite unlike what we would normally do, so it was a place called Duluti(Anyone reading this thats from Arusha would know nobody goes to hang there its odd, okey nothing like never ever, i recall been taken there on a date(Yes allow me to call it that,what else would it be💁🏽 only it was on the hills side strange huh but i was barely legal to go anywhere else without worryng my mom would know and in my defence at the time i found it quite romantic, anyway i mean odd for a hangout and drinkup spot VERY) ohh and anyone else out of Arusha that is curious this is the arusha beach i would say, because we are on the mainland area but this river is all if not the closest we could get, so why not flaunt .

anyway we get there and this mutual friend at the time because we had just been introduced ,they were two(a story for another day) visiting from Daresalaam, was adventurous and so he wanted to try canoeing, and well my friends kept pushing you should go ohh you will have fun and they knew i would be scared as hell, and i didnt want to embarass myself infront of a stranger, i was barely on my first glass not enough guts to go, well the kind of friend i have , ohh you are yet to meet then, so after alot of back and forths and guilttrips i ended up agreeing to this

So a few minutes later getting in the boat was already a hustle i was breathing every pore and hole posible, anyway i kept my cool and let the Guard(Dont know if i can call him that) canoe us away(Hihihi…)

To my utter suprise, i actually enjoyed it, was still scared let nobody fool you but i kept my calm, and also enjoyed th view, is like the water,the birds, the trees all had their own little workd where they had their own language and it was calm and beautiful ohh Nature i fell inlove with you twice as much..

Uptodate i think that was therapy on its own and although i would never say it out loud, I was so greatful for that extra push i got from my friends..

So Amani thank you for that ride you was the best canoeing Patner, To Rey&Ney you guys are my Ace’s for life, you both know i wouldnt have done it if you wouldnt have persuaded and threatened,I love you

Here are some of the Shots…

Sunsets & Boat Rides🚣🏾🌝

Holidays❤️

Dearest Readers,

i have been gone for a bit, i wish i could say i have been too busy to write but then, the truth of the matter is i guess i have beeng struggling to find myself, you know everyone would tell you.. get done with school get a job do this and that and they all make it seem all to easy, although in my case they made it seem all too hard also seeing as there people you know that graduted and are still out here looking for a job this and that so it gets fustrating, some people expect you to just you know forget your dreams and go for anything and honestly the economy expects you to do tat, highly everyone would ask what did you major in and the minute you say ” Social work” they have a dissapointed look on their face like trying to say ohh ohh you wont be as lucky, some would ask whats that about and others would dare question your priorities and its tough i wont lie, but then again there would be the logical people some that know what social work is about and are hopeful for you some that have no idea what it is but still wont be negative about it and some that would just help you share your dream, all along you have to realise what do you want for you, because at the end of the day its just you, if you decide to make a choice to please anyone but you then you have no different to all those negative to you about you..you would have messed up with your dreams and goals, your self esteem your worth you would be looking at your future through other peoples eyes and its now ther expectations society expectations and visions so then who are you again??

And that my dears is what i have hd to battle worh this past few months, i am still hopefull and well it remains unseen but this holiday season i choose to celebrate life with my beloved ones, it doesnt matter that i dont see myself where i want to be, what matters is im still here and alive and i will get there in God’s timing and for that i am Thankful…

Happy Holdays❣️

Tooth ferry X Dentist’s

Dear tooth ferry…

Seated here at the dentist this morning and am thinking, i might have not grown in the western culture where you just had to put your tooth under tour pillow and sleep knowing you tooth ferry will cone get it,and all will be well ad even get coins, a mean they tried applying that were im from but unluckily it skipped me, anyway soo my point is i have goten quite unlucky wit these teeth first i had a funy teeth arangement at some point someone said i inherited(im not going to name her,but i cant even deny this) and so i had to put on retainers quite old and i had to feel skuicky odd and geeky, though i was the furthest from a geek but lucky me one day i had to remove them because they had got a little loose and it was due time for my dentist apointment to tighten them so i put thwm off when eating in school and put them in my bag, so this girl came along and droped my bag ohh lala, typical me i thought “I am finished, my mother will kill me”, i could hear her voice in the back of my mind saying”do you know how much that cost me, you will stay like that ohh” well the inner Mento in me was like whiiiew this the end of feeling wierd, and just as i thought,my mom did say i will stay like that lol…. So Fast foreard to a few years in Uni, i had a tooth filled so it somehow just got out like the cement just went bang out of my mouth one day ohh so i said okey i will be smart and chew on one side from now on and vualaa it did work for all my years in uni, dont ask me how but it sure did and i thought i was safe, Guess the forces of  nature decided to suprise me, a few days ago a would have some gum pain and just say ohh well maybe its the wether or this or that, and then it got intense i could hardly chew my meat, now you know i love meat anybody that knows me know i dont play with my food so this became an issue. 
I put my Big girl pants one day and went to schedule an appointment, and the next day hi had my tooth removed (This was when i had began writting this post btw like literaly outside the dentist door, and stoped when he said i could go in… and then a couldnt even right the rest till now, thats how bad my state was) ..
sooo Dentists, as for you i have no words for you i mean i used to have a regular dentist since we were young Dr Tekle was the best, this one was a new one and well in the process of my tooth extraction the numb injection a had received wore off ohh Lord no ammount of words can explain the pain, i mean i have gotten hirt before i thought i knew pain but no this one was just one of a kind, the one that has you crying in public not caring how your face nor maskara will look, the one that ahs your repenting and thinkn lord if this is tooth pain then i am not ready for labour pain good Lord i cant forget the pain i swear some will think i am being dramatic but until you have had the experience you will never know, to worsen it this Dr says a part  of my tooth has remained i honestly tell you my heart stoped i gave him one glare like if you dare enhhh, in my descent pidgin ( if a hear you touch me one more time ohh it wont be funny) .. Lucky him he said it wasnt to affect me in anyway bla bla i didnt hear the rest small talk , i got up furious knowing it was not his fault but who else would i blame…
ohh and ontop of it in a week i have to go back, like that was not enough toture .!!!  so as i nurse my painful tooth that has given my back a rest and my heart a scare, i thought i would share my not so good experience as i seat on my behind all daylong, feed on every kind of poridge rice poridge tou name it,thanks to mama dearest😅

 

      ~~~XOXO~~~

DELAYED GRATIFICATION…#IdealValentines

Dear Readers,

yes i know its on the 17th, its even a best friends birthday today  screaming(HAPPY BIRTHDAY MALKIA love… okeyy as i said, yes its past valentines i know but a wise man once said better late than never right? and then in the spirit of valentines one wise one also said delayed gratification can be such a joy to the soul…

So whats your idea of an ideal valentines?? some will say go overboard, flowers roses to be exact,  dinner somewhere fancy, dress up, red as theme yes red signifies love, presents heart to heart, and more and yes at some point this is every woman”s dream… but also in time we all have several different opinions additions on this, so here is my ideal valentines package..  you can drop this message past midnight or send t to them where they are or even on the table or tray as you make him breakfast, make his or her day

feb

 

01-HEART TO HEART CONVERSATION, WRITTEN TEXT OR LETTER OR CALL

All together valentines is a lovers day, if you can take time to say a thing or two on what you appreciate about your partner,or take them down memory lane how you met or where you met how t brought you here, appreciate the lows n highs just a little something to show he matters. mind you valentines doesn’t have to be sent with an intimate partner alone, even friends and family are as much our beloved ones

valz2

 

02-DINNER

Okey it doesn’t have to be somewhere fancy or anything, if you can afford yes please by all means make it an extra mile just to show them they are worth it, but also you can go for dinner or lunch somewhere quit and intimate reflecting your relationship or somewhere that is of significant importance to you like a favorite spot,or somewhere that was on the list of places to visit or where you first met or where you went for your first date, and then make it memorable

valz

03-GIFTS

yes i was not going to go blind on this one, i mean i know i love gifts as much as any girl out there if it where up to me i would invent more celebrations just to get them, yes am like that … anyway gifts can also be  heart to heat maybe something a partner has been hinting on all through or something of a thought that counts or flowers yeas most men this is their runaway gift spirit they getaway with it though must admit…but anything from chocolates to stuffed animals, lingerie bags shoes anything is accepted with love

valentines-day-gifts

04-Movies

optional optional but them this gives you enough time to be close and intimate even if its within a crowd of people,i thought of this precisely because these two valentines they have been my favorite,as you all know i am a big fun of reading novels, so E.L James’s 50 shades trio logy has been hitting the theaters for valentines each  valentines from last year, so its been on the top of my to do list,yes no questions but if you haven’t watched them ,what are you waiting for..

fifty_shades_darker_book_cover

okay these are a few of the legal things a could think of but you can add up a lap dance session to some nice music i recomend dance for you by beyonce old but gold for sure, strip tease, a role playing will do too, some nice set of lingerie for the night wont hurt i mean its valentines after-all what more can i say.. and guys if by any chance you want to make this more special by proposing to her, read the next post….

 

xoxo…
