A WALK THROUGH LIFESTYLE
It didn't make sense when it was stuck in my head. It only began to make sense when I penned it down on paper.

My Encounter with a Sixty Something Sponsor from the West!
Last week Tuesday, there was this conference that was happened in Safari Park Hotel that I went to cover. So after registering at the reception, I decided to drop my business card in the glass bowl on the table! As I made my way to the conference room, there was this muzungu who stopped me, to get my card. After I had given it to him he asked whether I had 10 minutes and since the conference hadn't started, I thought why not?
"You are a Journalist? Would you mind working in Dubai? One of my companies is looking to hire more staff and you appear well placed for the job. " When dealing with corporates, you also become one! So I asked him what his company deals in Blah blah blah because to be sincere, this Dubai bit interested me! So he suggested, why not go to the restaurant by the pool and talk more?
At the pool this nigga placed a parket of cigarettes on the table and asked me whether I smoke. "Cheki mzae, Si uwache maswali ya ujinga?" The ninjas in my head started conversing! What do you drink? "water!" hahaha. Manjaa nlikuwa naskia! Hata wazae kwa tumbo karibu waanze kuongea! "wee, kwani leo hatupati kakitu?" He convinced me to take juice of which I ordered apple juice!
Wacha sasa aanze kuroroa! "I own a multi million dollar business. Even the Nairobi Tavern being constructed in Upper Hill is mine! I want you to join me in the Dubai company! How much do you earn in your current job?" Hapa napo kuna beshte yangu fulani aliniambia nsijiangushange nkiulizwa mambo ya mshaara na prospecting boss! "60,000". Eish! I thought I had raised my bar high enough! "600 dollars? How do you even cope with such an amount here? How do you even buy Clothes and the likes because you strike me as someone who really loves fashion? The job market here is really poor, right? That is the salary I give to my tea boy in Dubai!" Huyu mzae alikuwa ameanza kunikatsia walai! Na sasa nngemuambia my real salary si angeshuta!
"I hold a master of Psychology and I have studied you have a lot of worry in your life! You are struggling a lot and ain't sure about your future! How old are you? You look 22/23? Good for you! I want to be the fortune you badly want! Do you have a passport? You Africans really amuse me! How can someone not have a passport? How much would It cost to get a passport? I will give you 40,000. And how much would you need now for yourself? I will give you 60,000? Uuuwiiii! Thitima! "Lakini mbona majaribu yamekuwa sehemu ya maisha yangu? Anyway...
" If you come to work in my company, I will give you everything you need! Your gym membership will be paid! You will shop anywhere you want! You will fly the world with me because I am an International businessman and you will be my PA. You will come here to visit your family from time to time and your family will also come to visit you from time to time. Become the fortune your family needs! " At this point, the ninjas in my head assembled for an urgent meeting! Huyu mzae tumfanyie? Kwani anadhani tunaishi kwa mti alafu tunalalanga njaa?" The ninjas settled on holding it for a bit..
" You should see my house in Dubai! You will love it! There is however something about me! I have all these things but I am lonely! I had a Nigerian girlfriend but she couldn't stand my travelling lifestyle and so she left! I am aging and really need someone in my life! I don't know whether that person is Mical. What if I die today? I really need someone to inherit my business. Hehehe... I didn't laugh though and neither did I roll my eyes!
He realised I was in deep thought! "What are you thinking about? You don't need to suffer in life anymore! God has send me to rescue you! Just make up your mind, shake my hand, and we have a deal!" Deal tena? I looked straight into his face and said, "Picture this... I walked to you and asked whether you had 5 minutes and then I told you that I was in urgent need that needed 100 dollars and I would refund it in two days time because my money was stuck somewhere! However genuine I sounded or however little the money I was requesting for was, would you give it to me? He said being a stranger, he wouldn't! I told him that he had answered himself because he was a stranger and I could not trust him just like that. He gave me his card and asked me to contact him in case I changed my mind!
I told him that I needed to get back to the conference because that was my main business there! As we walked back, he asked how long it would take for me to make up my mind and I told him that would be 62 days and also I need God's intervention! He said God had already intervened by sending him to me! He said he was expecting me that evening but I told him I would think about it! A cab was to pick me anyways!.
During tea break, I saw him walk in another lady and I figured he was on a mission to gather beautiful African girls! He called me on Thursday afternoon to say that he would be leaving on Friday evening and he wanted to see me that evening at Safari Park Hotel! Mimi hiyo jioni nlijiendea zangu cocktail Intercontinental hotel nkamuacha akaukie huko na hizo multi million dollar businesses zake!
Mtu kwanza anicofirmie kama kuna Nairobi Tevarn inajengwa Upper Hill alafu akuje tustrategize juu bado nko na business card ya huyu mzae! Sipendangi ujinga mimi!

HIV/AIDS NOW A TEENAGE AFFAIR?
Today as I was going through my facebook feed, I came across something which made every hair on my body stand aloof! The saliva in my mouth dried up! Apparently, there is a man who is on a mission to infect unsuspecting ladies with HIV/AIDS! His main target is married women, so that they can pass the now "not dreadful disease" to their husbands! He is on a revenge mission, because he unknowingly was also infected, so he claims!
Why does this scare me a lot? Today I attended the launch of the Global AIDS Progress Update Report 2016 and though the findings are not bad, one particular thing scares me! The AIDS prevalence among the youth aged between 15-24 years is high at 51%! Girls hold a bigger percentage as compared to boys! The young generation is at risk! The rate at which girls and boys are engaging in sex is alarming!
Growing up, our parents and Sunday school teachers made us understand that sex was a thing for the adults. Adults to mean, the married or those old enough to date, and not just dating, but dating for marriage! These days, even fifteen year olds are referred to as adults because they are engaging in stuff those older than them by 10 years haven't experienced yet!
Okay! Our parents and Sunday school teachers educated us! Some took them seriously and some didn't but bottom line is, they played their part! As they say, behavior is linked to upbringing from childhood. Question now is: are the current generation parents and teachers sleeping on their job? Or have the boys and girls become so smart for them? It is the internet generation and girls and boys have access to it, but what of those in the remote areas who cannot even afford the cheapest earphones yet they are in this bracket of being infected?
When Aids reached Africa, songs were composed that when listened to, they scared the hell out of people and they somehow focussed on living responsibly. Despite the fact that musicians have neglected the Aids subject, the youngsters seem to have become ignorant. These days, girls fear pregnancy more than Aids! They would rather indulge without protection and take pills to prevent pregnancy. They are not scared of infections. In fact some start family planning as young as 17! I thought family planning was meant for the married women? Why are kids rushing things?
Now here is the scarier bit! Schools have closed and those that haven't closed will close soon! The holiday will be long! Two months and counting! Girls and boys will be roaming the village and cities! The explorers and gullible one will be lured into lifetime traps! Some which will shorten their lives and some which will lead them into the family way at a tender age! Sad!
So, what about this AIDS subject was revived again? What about it was made a matter, of National disaster? What about parents talked about this issue to the young ones every day? What about teachers stressed on this subject? What about social media forums diveated from politics and the likes and made this AIDS issue a matter of national concern? What about musicians composed the modern day songs with the aids subject enscribed inside? What about the young ones watched those very scary videos that were showed to us when the aids state was so bad? What about Writers, wrote, wrote, and wrote about this subject? What about?
The young ones have to know that these days thanks to ARVS, the infected ones are healthier than those free of the virus. It is therefore not like in the past when the infected ones were identified by ematiated bodies, thining hair, a persistent cough, and boils on the body. They therefore have to be careful. If they can't abstain, let them stick to protection!
We need this young generation alive and strong because they are the future. So, let's be responsible for them. Let's protect them from traps of those on a revenge mission! Let's Stop using phrases like,"wametushinda!" Let's not wait for the world to teach them a lesson! My nephew is turning 15 and we are leaving nothing unturned to ensure he leads a responsible life. Though difficult, let's keep trying!

PEOPLE ARE BASICALLY LAZY
A lady with a nice body is happy, but a guy, fiancée or husband to the lady with the nice body is happier! This statement in all aspects is debatable!
We all love being in shape but we are not ready to work towards maintaining our body shapes! How many times have we admired those shapely ladies on the cover pages of magazines? Do we pause to ask ourselves how women who have given birth to five kids still manage to stay in shape?
Just like one sets a goal and starts drawing a plan of how they will achieve their goal within a specified period of time, is the same thing with achieving a certain body shape! You got to estimate the period within which you wish to achieve the desired shape, come up with a work out Calendar and start working out immediately! Make it a routine and don't allow laziness to creep in! Remember, no sweat, no pain, no gain!
From today, quit using those excuses of I am okay this way when in reality you are not! Quit using those excuses of whoever will love me should love me as I am or my boyfriend or husband hasn't complained! Don't wait for him to complain! Make yourself look good! Don't just admire those girls on the magazine cover pages! You can be the lady on the cover page!
Big up to all mamas out there who still manage to stay in! I have used the term mamas because baby fat is the most used excuse for people to be shapeless and unfit! Oh how I love the mamas on Kilimani mums! Burn that excess fat and escape unnecessary diseases! Stop being lazy!

SUCCESS AWAITS! GO FOR IT!
Lessons from My four hours Centonomy Class
1. All of us are gifted in different ways: so let's identity the gifts and develop them. You might be seated on a goldmine!
2. If you have to complete a journey, start it! You won't see that dream come true until you start working towards its success.
3. If you feel it's time to forget everything and focus on your goal, do it no matter what. One thing is for sure: distractions will always present themselves packaged very nicely that you are tempted not to resist. It could be promotion at your work place, or that authoritative voice from your family telling you not to it, don't give in to the pressure! Do what you have to do!
4. Procrastination is the worst form of distraction. If you have to do it, do it! Forget the buts. You won't have the same energy you have now, tomorrow! Now is the time!
5. Have your goals well written down and identity a period within which you want them accomplished! By writing them down, it will serve as a constant reminder that you have things to accomplish within a certain period of time, and you will therefore only focus on those.
#NOTE : Don't just write them, pin them where you will see them everyday!
6. Everybody complains of unemployment rates being high, but only a few focus on creating employment. If you have a business idea, in mind, implement it! Don't wait for perfect conditions for they will not come until you start working on your idea. Use what you have in your hands, and you will be surprised at how everything will work out!
7. Failure is not meant to discourage you, but to build you! No matter how many times you fail, don't call yourself a failure! Use your failure as strength. All great people failed countless times but they didn't give up! They soldiered on because they knew their destiny was that of greatness!
8. If you buy what you don't need, you will end up selling what you need! Before you buy anything think, do you really need that thing? Are you buying it because someone else bought it? Are you buying it because it is trending? Really? Why do that to yourself? A clever person will buy assets and not flossets!
9. You can't have a better phone than your boss! This simply means that, you don't have to spent more than you earn! Stay within your means! Budget wisely and get into the habit of saving! Savings are powerful!
10. Once you identify your goal, surround yourself with gangs that will push you towards achieving your goal! You don't need liabilities in your life! All successful people have friends who are as successful as they are! Those with whom they walked the difficult journey of success together! Have a mastermind alliance!
Lastly, "Be good and do good"! Remember your God always!
