A Diary of my Pursuit of Life ’s Best. This thing called life …. Memories Are Made of This. So, I’m a Toastmaster. In Kenya. Toastmasters is a club that teaches communication and leadership skills through a learn-by-doing approach. My latest speech project was The Roast. And I roasted my dad. It was great fun – I enjoyed being at the lectern and I managed to get him and the rest of my audience in stitches. I hope you’ll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed crafting and delivering it! I also remember us ...

Nyakehu: September 2004
http://nyakehu.blogspot.com/2004_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 30, 2004. I truly enjoy the bus journey the smell of piss notwithstanding- but the thrill is riding on the bus lanes and overtaking swanky cars. Two weeks l was flat broke got on the bus, had no money whatsover and this whiney brat/kid got on the bus soon after and did he cry, cry and cry. It was endless and relentless the type of shrieks that you want to shriek back. Then suddenly the shrieks were a distant echo, then an echo. Wednesday, September 29, 2004. Happiness is not in. It co...

Nyakehu: May 2005
http://nyakehu.blogspot.com/2005_05_01_archive.html
Saturday, May 14, 2005. Really annoys and irks me. As these were people living with HIV/Aids telling us what they preferred to be called, the choice has to be by the person that you are defining; that you desist in defining them by terms that often diminish them. Are supposed to come from. At least at this instance, we used kifua where the District Commissioner was a family friend. Anyway, I lost my kitambulisho and I am still trying to puzzle which chief I could have gone to. This morning on the radio, ...

Nyakehu: March 2005
http://nyakehu.blogspot.com/2005_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 29, 2005. And he has a video of the film and wants to share it, I told him the CD has Somali music as well. Thursday, March 24, 2005. When the only thing the computer is good for is just for solitaire, I feel like I have a reached an impasse and if it was not for blogging alas woe is me as I am not connected like I really have to look for the nearest place to sit for a couple of hours reading other people’s blogs. Wednesday, March 23, 2005. Went to the library yesterday and picked up four ...

Nyakehu: January 2005
http://nyakehu.blogspot.com/2005_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, January 27, 2005. Everyone of us gets through tough times because someone is there standing in the gap to close it for us."-. Tuesday, January 25, 2005. Sadly, there are the ones I would not wish on other women so the banner would read "GO AWAY AND STOP HOUNDING WOMEN! Big sisters who make you think, who make you reflect- that thing about someone there who constantly challenges me. God I miss her so. Thursday, January 20, 2005. View my complete profile.

Nairobi back in the day: TV
http://backinthedaynbi.blogspot.com/2005/03/tv.html
Nairobi back in the day. Reminisces about 1980's Nairobi (and '70's for that matter). I don’t remember the content of too many ‘80’s progis I mean there were hardly any for kiddos to watch. I recall a weekday schedule of obscure cartoons/ children’s programmes starting at 6 (or was it 5.30? One called Butterflies that I never saw but kids were always talking about, and there were progis like Button Moon, Pingu (which are both still being shown worldwide). We used to stand to attention and sing along.

Uaridi: August 2005
http://uaridi2.blogspot.com/2005_08_01_archive.html
Uaridi is the Swahili name for rose. Tuesday, August 23, 2005. There was some benefit. This is going to sound strange, but in a way I am not too sad that the Europeans came to our country. But now, I cannot imagine my life without coffee, cigarettes and BLOGGING. I shudder to think what my life would have been in those old days - child bearing, co-wives,working in the shamba, carrying water from the river (tried that once and nearly broke my back! Fendidng off raids from the Maasai and the Kambas. I do n...

A Diary of my Pursuit of Life ’s Best. This thing called life …. A Toast to 2009. A TOAST TO 2009. Here we are at the end of a year that challenged us beyond our wildest imagination. Here we are to celebrate the mending of fences broken by hatred and the rebuilding of bridges burnt by ignorance. Today, we share in the joy of regarding each other, once again, as brothers and sisters, as parents and children, as friends and fellows. How we looked forward to 2009. But here we are 12 months later. Let us bec...
