Thank God It’s Friday! You know how much will it takes to speak my mind through images…jeez! I feel like explaining everything, but let’s see how it goes. It’s my last one being 24, so maybe I can try something different plus I changed my theme, that too was something all together but it speaks me.

How true is this?
When I saw this ↑ the first thing I thought was, “Johnny Depp O_O” and after that, whatever he says definitely had to be something interesting … So much for being very gullible. Then I thought, how many times I’ve done this. It’s like there are people we are so fast to question their intelligence, then there others even when they say something lame, it’s alright, they probably even look more cool.
“No one ever questions your intelligence when you’re an actor” ~ George Clooney
This guys get away with so much. I figured of late that Tv series that totally made me laugh to rib aches (considering that I had a sprained muscle sprain, this wasn’t doing me any good) can be intelligently lame and they totally get me. Now we know what I’d been up to the better part of my leave. From ‘happy ending’, ‘raising hope’, ‘new girl’, ‘modern family’, ‘community’. Oh, they’re just hilarious and at no point do we sit and think that was stupid, if anything they make you relaxed and want to continue to the next episode, then the next and before you know it time has just passed, and you don’t regret any bit of indulging.
In case you wondered where my bio on twitter and facebook came from, this must’ve been the sole reason.
✩Kawiria is the blonde, Mercy is the genius and they come out at different times.
It was to justify my lame or better yet blonde moments, so that you don’t question my intelligence. To say the least I am very intelligent but I don’t say…lol, I just tend to be comical. I mean the blonde bit makes you have something to laugh about…yes!
Now, my goal is to be that person Johnny Depp is talking about. You know the kind where, once you see my pic and my name just below it, then what I’m trying to say is automatically deemed intelligent, no matter how lame it sounds. Can you even imagine some guys saying something that doesn’t make sense even when they are actually saying something that doesn’t make sense? No. I know you know those guys you put on a pedestal. I have quite a couple, some who I’ve met, others I hope to meet, then there are others who I know I’ll never meet e.g. Marylin Monroe, Einstein and the likes.
Most of the quotes you see around are the things we say and think every so often, they are just from ordinary men and women like you and me that just took that extra step. That step that makes your life influential to others so that they can relate to your sayings and thoughts. And at that point, very few will question your intelligence (which when it comes to worldly matters, I think it’s kind of overrated). Plus, none of those quotes are brought fourth in facts and figures, it’s just a mere statement that came up in your subconscious to help you answer something that has been troubling your (or another persons) thoughts…yes!
At least there’s someone who shares my school of thought. Much better than the phrase, “it’s never that serious”. Goes more like if you want to explain something for it to make intellectual sense to most, then it should be put out in such a way that a 7 year old can get it.
Pretty sure many of you are happy that Jan-worry is coming to an end and I came into the world on the 1st day of February when y’all have probably gotten your paychecks 
Blessed week!

Thank God It’s Friday! Back to the grind … work and school, holiday are officially over, such are the days you really appreciate the weekends. The only days you can manage to sleep to the end of your dream and not wake up throwing curse words to the walls, while the alarm clock really tried to wake you up on time, but gave you an option for snooze. Tsk!
Random thoughts
1 more week. This year I need to do something and I don’t know what. I am so pathetic at organizing something, from where, how and the biggest problem is who to invite considering disappointments get the better part of me but I don’t say *sigh*
I’m feeling
Like I could feel much better than I am.
This weekend
A bit of this and that. I’m thinking shopping now that there’s a sale. This is that month where getting something good for a lesser price will be much appreciated, then party party party and sleep. Church this Sunday even if it means dragging myself there … it must happen.
I’m craving
I’m mourning the shortage or lack of Maryland cookies in our supermarkets. I think they should have at least given us notice so that we stock them.
Songs of the week
It’s Kwaito week, the beats and the lyrics are up beat plus the crowd too. Now if I could just understand what they are saying … any Zulu translators?
I want and pray
I want to beat my expectations this year and give myself a shock. I think sometimes I under-estimate my abilities … so I pray for zeal, psyche and mad believe in myself. Soar like an eagle, literally

Ever wondered why we would all have different perspectives of the same person? Like I would say, person x is so nice, sweet, funny, awesome *insert adjective* and another would say a complete opposite thing about the same person x, say something like they are snobbish, rude, mean…yeah all those things you’d prefer not to be. This is purely based on first impression.
Do you think people are actually what we make them? Sometimes we are the ones who play a role in which character a person will exude. Right from the way we approach them to the way we treat them and what we expect in return. I tend to think that we all have the good and evil, more like a duality kind of thing. That we are made in such a way to accommodate the people who walk into the different aspects of our lives. And the face says it all, you can know what I think of you from the look you get when you approach me.
It’s like your face is your guard. Given certain circumstances, you can choose to keep your guard up, down or better yet wear a mask. When you are comfortable then you have your guard down, no masks (unless you want to pretend that all is good) and that’s when you’re your warmest … you’re pleasing to the people around you. When you’re uncomfortable you have your guard up and you’re at your coldest, remember Ally McBeal, that’s when you want to unleash all your hell’y faces, you basically just don’t care and the people around, high chances is that they won’t like you.
Truth be told we all have those moments. What even made me think of this, is the levels to which people drive you to. Someone can make you beyond happy and in a split second another person can just ruin your entire day. It’s just amazing how we have different faces for the different scenarios.
Point in case : Imagine these people walking towards you and the face you will pull out, because you’ve got so many under your sleeve…
LOL, I know right! When you think about it now it’s pretty hilarious, and now I relate to Ally McBeal after all these years, some faces you can’t really show (they just ran in your head, that’s good enough especially if you’re trying to save face), but given the chance. Funny how, the face you show at that particular time describes the kind of person you are.
Because the mask is your face, the face is a mask, so I’m thinking of the face as a mask because of the way I see faces is coming from an African vision of the mask which is the thing that we carry around with us, it is our presentation, it’s our front, it’s our face ~ Faith Ringgol
But all is not lost, they are those who just accept you just the way you are … lol
So while I was away on “leave” I hope you missed me and all haha … I wonder what you’ve been up to and how the new year is treating you so far? May be I will say what I think of the year sometime.

Random thoughts
Where do some dreams really come from? Because I’m pretty sure it’s not my thoughts or maybe it’s the subconscious thought only coming to reality when you’re asleep…yikes! In that case, then I’m really a genius…lol
I’m feeling
Like I’ve had enough sleep okay that’s supposed like a distraction to what I’m actually feeling. Awesome it is.
This weekend
Ummm! Ummm! No idea what I’ll be up to, but in case anything comes up, I won’t really turn it down … trying to be random.

It’s the nature of time not to remain constant. 2011 came and now it’s going but will always remain etched in history. And with 365 days A LOT has gone down, all in all, it’s been a great year.
This time I’m going to do it a bit differently. I have just watched a movie that has totally changed the view of my year. Yes it’s had very many highlights and lowlights (my word) I must say but sometimes all it takes is a word, an observation or better yet a movie to make you realize some things that you probably took for granted.
This movie maybe fictional, it’s called Courageous. For me it was so real, it made pick my phone and text my dad and tell him that he is the best man that I know and that each and every day, I thank God for him. I meant it with every inch of my body. You know my mum always says that the love of a mother is usually automatic because you’re joined from the beginning, biologically that is, but the love of a father, is one that has to be natured.
This year, I appreciate my dad. He’s been there for me since the time I don’t remember. Each and every day he’s concerned about me, worried about me, thinking about me, hoping for the best for me, works hard for me, wonders about me and loves me so much. How do I know this you wonder? It’s the role he’s played in my life since I was born and how he does it in his own special way. To be honest, his love has made me feel like I lack nothing. Like I have everything a girl would want.
I’m not yet rich, I’ve not yet made a mark in history per se, I’m not even dating…lol, but I intend to do all that and more. Basically I am not there yet, but the love my dad has showed me, given to me as I sit on my favorite couch writing this down, gives me all the confidence in the world, it gives me that zeal I need to get there. So this year, I dedicate it to my lovely daddy and family. I really thank God for them. Yes by all means, me and my baby sister are my dad’s favorites, hope my mum doesn’t get jealous.
I’ve been through quite some stupid experiences this year, made wrong choices here and there, allowed myself to be stressed by things that shouldn’t be. In short, I’ve been facing the world in a new way, which is not under my parents’ wings. It’s been crazy in a new way, I’ve broken down a few times yes, you can’t blame me. However, I always stand, dust myself up and tell myself “Kawiria, you can do much better than this” and I move on. What has always kept me going through out 2011 is my family and my desire to get there, where I always dream and want to be.
I know they probably don’t know, because there are some things of course I can’t go running to them for if you know what I mean, but by the mere fact that they are there when I need them even for the tiniest of things, sums it all up for me. I know you probably think, spoilt girl…hehe but nah, this is just me being grateful.
“It’s not until you realize what you are worth, that you will get what you deserve.”
In 2012, I’m going to look at it in the form of an ocean. You know how the waves wash away some things from the shore but still retain them in its contents. I am going to have the waves clean off all the not so cool stuff of 2011, but, because that stuff in one way or another has helped make me. I will carry them forward as lessons learnt that I need to apply in future.
Each and every year we always strive to change in the next, we set out things we call, “new year’s resolutions’”. We can change so many earthly things but what remains is character and personality. That’s who you are. I strive in building my character and personality such that they are the ones that will influence what I do and who I am. For instance, I can make money in 2012, but what’s money without the person? It’s just paper with a value on it, but if it’s attached to a person, that’s riches and wealth. I can complete my education and be a Masters Holder and God help maybe a PhD, but without the person, those are just certificates and a status, but if it’s attached to a person with great character and personality, its knowledge that will help build others, create change and much more. In relationships, same applies.
Too many people have the ”New Year, New Me” statuses. Nobody actually changes. —> LOL
I definitely remain with the smiley face and happy girl swag … I know most of you wouldn’t survive without that. Point in case, my cheesy workmates and friends… hehe.
Cheers to a New Year lovely people. May you have joyful and prosperous one and don’t forget to put God first, he’s really good at this stuff. Plus he always wants the best for us or better yet knows what is best for us.
Now that there will be no fireworks this New Years, let’s see how that goes. It’s gonna be awkward *cue high-pitched voice*, damn the Al-Shabaab maen!

Thank God It’s Friday! I love the whole holiday thing going on, out of this world. After a whole year of working hard, now I can indulge in my guilty pleasures without feeling so guilty. Everyday has been feeling like a Friday and technically speaking, today is the last Friday of the year *woop woop* ↓
Random thoughts
I’m awake at 3:00 am Kenyan time, with no sleep. That’s very unlike me, but at least I’m watching a sort of funny flick and eating some bad foods, which is close to normalcy.
I’m feeling
Very content with me and the world. It’s a really nice feeling to finish the year with.
This weekend
Is the end of 2011 and the beginning of 2012 and I don’t really have something I’m up to as per now (is that correct english?). However, whatever it is that I’ll be up to … my theme for the weekend ↓
I’m Excited
This is pretty lame, but I got my old iPod with my old music while doing my spring clean. All the rock songs I loved are there and it’s charging … I’m over the moon. Okay, that’s among other things, jeez!
I’m craving
Can you believe that I have no idea what I’m craving. Or if I do, it’s definitely not something worth mentioning here … lol just kidding. But really, this is pretty interesting, unless maybe it has to do with the time of the night am up, such ungodly hours! Today I’m all #teaminsomnia.
Songs of the week
Yup, this one will definitely never grow old. So I’ve got a feeling (maybe we can replace this night, with next year). In the full new year mode
I want and pray
I want to leave any baggage I had this year in this year. It’s been one hell-of-a year in all the right and wrong ways if you know what I mean. So I move to the next minus the baggage, that should be pretty much lighter.
Drop the last year into the silent limbo of the past. Let it go, for it was imperfect, and thank God that it can go. ~Brooks Atkinson
I pray that next year really does me good. Like really really!

It’s that beautiful time of the year once again, that we all look forward to in a not so obvious maybe very obvious way. You know the whole festivities going on, the excitements, the off days, the parties, the eating and sometimes the gifts too.
Personally, I love the Christmas and New Year time. Not because I have so much going, actually most of the time I usually have nothing going on. Other than the usual hanging out with family and friends. For the longest time I can remember, for me it’s a time for receiving cards from here, there and every where, watching christmas-y movies and cartoons, cooking, eating, going to church and lots of loving and giving. I love buying gifts for my family and seeing the look on their faces as they unwrap them.
We’re rarely on the move, which I enjoy in a way. I don’t like the whole hustle, though I wish to go for vacay some time and see what the big deal is usually, and maybe change the monotony of just chilling out, but considering I love being a lazy bum during such days…hehe, I sure hope I can handle what I wish for. Actually this is what I wish for <check this out> this I can definitely handle. Oh my! Isn’t that place out of this world. I think I should create a savings account and name it ’2014 Christmas’, I’ve always had a thing for 2014, but anyway. Oh my again, I’m still trying to figure out where that is, you know wishes and prayers need to be specific and in case it’s answered, I / we assuming I shall not be trotting alone need to know how to get there…LOL
So it’s that time for celebrating the birth of Christ, singing jingles and everyone getting all up in your space asking you what you’re up to :p So in case you ain’t feeling it this time round, just use it to let the people who mean something to you know that you think the world of them. It’s also Jesus’s birthday, and he’s all about good tidings, love, forgiveness, sharing and caring, getting together and all good things, you might as well make sure you celebrate it with him, pretty sure he’s usually at yours, plus he’s that guy watching over us throughout the year.
And here’s my official Christmas Song … AWESOME. I think Mariah Carey and John Legend was just the perfect “Christmas” musical combination.
Because this Christmas time get together
It’s gonna be so nice, better than ever
Because this gift of love lasts forever
The Lord makes our hearts open up soon as Christmas comes
It’s gon’ be alright when Christmas comes
Oh, jingle all the way, oh what fun, mmm
And we gon’ reminisce about the good old days
And we gon’ laugh together as the children play
And through the years is always gonna be this way
Come what may

Random thoughts
Of cold showers, my instant heater is messed and my landlady is taking a bit of time to fix it, so lets just say I am too lazy to warm water, or rather I love my sleep more. So I would rather sleep in for those 10 mins I will use to warm the water don’t judge, I’m just human :p Then as I was in between those movements people make while showering with cold water, I figured,
You know how you soap yourself up from the feet so that you can feel the warmth, more like sugar-coating the situation. Not knowing that the soap has to eventually get off your body and you just get your body into that cold shower *shivers at the thought* … so is life, in as much as you sugar-coat situations, it does bite you in the ass in the end and you have to face it rather coldly, else you have to make extra efforts to make sure you’re not in that situation in the first place.
I’m feeling
Anxious and excited at the same time … the kind that gives you heebie jeebie blues, okay I got that from this song. Found them rather hilarious, they’re so 1900.
This weekend
I finish the exams that have been all over my space … lol, now I can say that. And the holiday mood checks in. And instead of saying, does a jig, I should say doing a heebie jeebie dance.
I’m Excited
I’ve figured that when I’m excited about stuff, I kind of jinx it. Looks like I should just get rid of this section. Why I even added it, was just to accommodate a particular excitement. So I hush *zips lips*
I’m craving
That is all

For all the rock heads out there – “Spread your love like a fever, and don’t you ever come down”, I tried to not like the song, but now it’s just at the back of my head.
I want and pray
I want, I want, I want *drum rolls* a gift for Christmas :)
I pray that … okay, I don’t want to make it so obvious, so nah, I’ll just pray silently *says a silent prayer*. You know the whole thing about excitement and jinxing, it does apply here too.

Feeling of displacement aside
Out of place, dis-appreciation all dim lights
I need something that’ll shine
A sign to show I’m welcome
Part n’ parcel of the gang
But everything is so distant
In one place I was guaranteed and belonged
Where the drums beat loudest
And my heart comes in whole
Where the smiles are abundant
And everything breathes hope
Recognition doesn’t matter
The only place my name n’ fame doesn’t count
Safe abode where my mind is in peace
And my body comes in handy
But …
I look forward, I see blank faces
Full with disappointment, disgust and pity
I wasn’t part of them, that, not a doubt
I wasn’t even like them, can’t be figured out
Where could I possibly fit
A place where I wouldn’t be a misfit
Somewhere I was calm
Not dense n’ damp
The sound of music, the feel of innocence
My daily constant dose of heroine
Every sniff sends me flying
Pass everything n’ I’ll do it good
As long as it’s a note with a tune
A lyric like do-re-mi-the chords
They look corny while they’re at it
But the way they’ll pull it off is just MAGIC
Head : Side to Side , Waist : Likewise
Beauty in the making, utterly breathtaking
But all I wanna do is sing
Whether it’s Pink or Elvis Presley
The beats of the track slowly on crazing
When I say B.N.P
I don’t mean … Before Nubian Prince
I mean … Bra, Knickers n’ Pants! LOL

Yeah, that’s poetry by my baby sister. She’s a rock fanatic, as you can see it in her “name”. I discovered she does poetry because she would take my incomplete journals or get us to buy her journals every other month. Not that I’m snoopy *in my defence* … lol, but I happened to land on one or two of her poems and I thought WOW. So I asked her if I can do a guest poem on my blog. I love how she writes. Here’s another one she’s done here before (You Are Special).
