Listening to Hopeless by Dionne Farris. So mellow this one…Now, onto another list…this time tagged by 3TOC .

4 THINGS I’M PASSIONATE ABOUT

  1. Family- Special they are…..missing them loads!
  2. Recipes- I love reading recipes…why I don’t know..guess its relaxing..plus you get the chance to try something bit different….like today I’m trying out one for size..hope it works out…coz twill be yummy!!!
  3. Books- As stated earlier, can read the whole day…point I realised I was addicted was when I left the house during a storm to go borrow some more books..
  4. Artsy creative stuff- Still have some sketches somewhere (went through a phase of drawing whenever I was bored..like during Kiswahili classes, when we were supposed to be reading things like “Kitumbua kimeingia mchanga” and other exciting stuff)…Now I just watch what others do…be it music, fashion, interior design..whatever..it grips me!


4 WORDS OR PHRASES I USE OFTEN

  1. Thingie- Used to describe anything and everything….you know when you can picture a certain word in your head but it refuses to leap off your tongue??
  2. What the fuse?- Attempts of mine to try and stop  swearing…it works really…like saying “Sugar” instead of “shit!”….that sort of thing.
  3. Salaams- Me and my love for shout-outs…so its a word that is used ALOT!
  4. Wo-wo-wo- hehe

4 THINGS I HAVE LEARNED FROM THE PAST.

  1. Never to believe everything that a man says at the beginning of the relationship…that honey-mooney phase is just phoooeeey!!
  2. That having a bad temper and a hard head is not a helpful combination.
  3. That I’m turning more and more like my mother everyday…sometimes I hear myself talk and I cannot believe it!
  4. Despite everything…my inner romantic refuses to die….infct its getting worse by the day…when I swapped my James Pattersons and Patricia Cornwells for Nora Roberts and Jude Deveraux these fears were confirmed!

4 PLACES I WANT TO SEE OR VISIT

  1. Barbados- that combi of sun, sea, sand…okie change that to a remote private island….like the one owned by Richard Branson.
  2. Italy- Fashion capital….I sigh just thinking of all the gorgeous shoes that abound!
  3. Lodwar-Need to travel all over Kenya..seriously how can I live in such a beautiful country and have foreign people know more about it than I do..no way!
  4. India- Need to see it to believe it…plus I’m enamoured with Bollywood!!


4 THINGS THAT HAPPENED YESTERDAY.

  1. I got really irritated…actually make that angry. Yet it passed…icecream does do wonders!
  2. Did some school work.. Very little though..
  3. Finished reading “Appointment with Death”…..and again..Agatha Christie is the Mistress of her art..I can never figure out who the murderer is no matter how hard I try.
  4. Finally got zee lamp to work..Yippee!! Okie let me confess someone else fixed the lamp for me…Lamp fixing is just not among my special talents..
