Been away from the blogging scene for a while..tis quite sad and I have missed some of my fave blogs alot…typing from a lil’ office in dusty Arusha..yes Val is back home (okie not home but close enough..its like a 7 hour trip home 
).
But seriously this spate of bad luck better end soonest…Update: Val is sick…going through 3 climatic changes in one day..plus a spate of dust and wind combined to give her bulging red eyes, blocked nose and ears(can’t hear very well)..sore throat…(the thought of drinking anything cold or eating hard food is so terrifying)..and a fluttering chest.
On the plus side, I’m with mummy..so good food has been coming my way for a week now..clothes are really starting not to fit despite my best intentions..
Aki I want to rant and rave about some of the guys I work with..shall be done soonest..okie when feeling better and I’m in a place with quick internet..the net here is so slow..I’ve had to give up on some of my favourite pursuits…like facebook..wail!!!!!!!! I can’t even read everyone on my blogroll..coz its so exhaustiung to wait 20 min for one page to open..you kinda lose sike for it altogether..
B2B..this is a shout out to you (I was been asked why Africans love sending shout-outs…me I really don’t know…its fun though isn’t it???)
To the rest of my beloved blog-brehren (except Candy who has vamoosed…and Betty..umejificha wapi???) Enjoy the rest of the week!
Last thoughts:
Been listening to alot of Bongo songs..one song can’t leave my head..I find myself humming all the time..Hey, hey hello ma (except it sounds like…hei-hei-helloma [helloma been one word]..lol)
Looking forward to going home and listening to some Kenyan Tracks (I heard of a genre called “Jipuka”……..ati an off-shoot of Genge…now what is that??
Some relaxed songs for my throbbing head:
- Brown eyed girl-Tevin Campbell
- King of Sorrow- Sade
- Come see me- Jill Scott
- Teenage Love affair- Alicia Keys

@ Modo..thanks..as for Jipuka..have you heard “Tichi” by Kenrazy??? I heard it last summer, like towards the end of my holiday…but this weekend was told it falls in the “Jipuka”category.

hope you feel better soon.
Enjoy being home.
Are you are late arrival for the “Sullivan conference” that had Arusha come to a stand still, a couple of days ago.

Karibu near home, sorry you’re not well, and for the internet connection. I hear in TZ they still use courier to send documents instead of email… I could be wrong but well
All in all, find something to enjoy down there.
