​THE INTERVIEWEE WHO HATED ME​

6 years ago a guy looked at me face to face, and boldly told me; "I don't like you!" I immediately fired a response, I asked him that day; "Thank you for the honest feedback, but those that you like, how has it made their life better? How does your liking people pay their bills or take a bank loan? My brother keep your like, I need God's like And that's what guarantees my future. Today I joined a CEO friend of mine in an interview Panel to recruit some new staff, it was a long session, as we returned from a coffee break to continue the hectic interview session, here was this same guy walked in with his grey jacket and CV coming for the interview. Our eyes kissed by fluke, we immediately recognised each other; "the world is indeed spherical", I soliloquized. He felt very uncomfortable through out the interview, one could clearly see the volcanic eruption ongoing in his whole nervous system, he even mistook his date of birth for his last date of empl

Music & Earphones

Honestly, I'm losing friends...mmh, that's totally bad.
I'm not saying am an Island. The point is, My friend is that one guy talking to me through my earphones, accompanied by beats and tunes. In simple terms, well-conveyed lyrics.
I like these people....I have friends. One of them told me my eyes will pop-out if I listen alot using earphones.
Please, if yours popped out because of earphones, let me know... It might be true. I know not. But I looked around and spotted something worth of sharing.

Pop ém out!!

Marriage | Whatsapp forward

MARRIAGE....... He was having his evening beverage That's when she joined him. "Hi there handsome, you're looking good. So fine I can eat you up" she said sitting down. "I thought we agreed to keep away from each other? I am a married man" he told her. " Come on. I won't bite. You can't resist me, no man can" she said. "I am a married man" he told her. "Fight all you want, but soon I will have you. I am way better than your wife" she told him. "You are nothing compared to my wife" he told her off. "Really? All this body. All these curves. All these sweetness. I bet your wife is not as good in bed as I am" she told him unbuttoning the top button of her blouse to reveal her cleavage, then lifting up her skirt, just a bit. "If I was a lustful and unfaithful man, all that would move me. But I am too grown to be enticed by what you're showing off. I am a grown man, you think all that consumes

Christmas and all - WELCOME TO MOMBASA

 Dear Kenyans (Sana sana Nairobians) who will be coming down to Mombasa for the December holidays: 1. We people who live in Mombasa live in houses. Our homes. 'Hatulalangi' kwa ma hoteli so stop with the 'Nakuja kesho. Ni hoteli gani poa?' Imagine unaeza Google 'Hotels in Mombasa' but we can refer you to a few holiday homes and villa owners who do short term rentals (I'll do another post on this.) 2. If you happen to be looking for transportation, number za JamboJet, Modern coast, Mash, Dreamline are also on Websites. 3. Unless you are really close with someone, do not expect them to hire a car for you ndio upige lap nayo. Hata kama unajilipia. Most of you end up binge drinking and fucking up cars mnaacha watu wakisumbuka. 4. Most Coasterians like Nairobians have schedules. Biryani is mostly a Friday dish after a long week and Friday prayers. Usianze kupiga simu Monday saa tatu asubuhi ati, 'Nipeleke nikakule biryani.' No please. 6. Ugali

A little Wait

"A certain gentleman walked into a hotel and after perusing through the menu ordered for some food. After about 20 mins another group of gentlemen walked in and ordered for theirs. To his dismay,the first gentleman saw them get served first. He watched as they began to eat and laugh heartily. He even overheard one of them brag about how he knew everyone at that hotel and how things moved fast for him there. He felt he was being mocked.He contemplated leaving. But he had waited soo long. Unable to take it anymore, he called the waiter and spoke rather verbosely of how unfair things were. The waiter calmly told him, yours is a special order sir, being prepared by the chief chef himself. Their orders were prepared hurriedly by interns because the top chefs are busy with yours. That's why they came first. Please have some juice as you wait. Unknown to him the owner of the hotel (who happened to be an old long lost friend of his) had seen him coming and wanted to surprise hi
