​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...

Patience - Learning it through HTML

Have I ever said that Meru County is my home? Oh it is. The land of the proverbial a thousand hills. The reason am using my homeland in this piece is because of this:
"nyama ukaria ukamionia rumuri"
 That is a Kimeru saying that warns against roasting meat you'll eat with flame(s). I'm not the best of chefs. Actually, am terrible in cooking and especially stuff that other people will eat. Ask +Faith Gaspear   and she'll tell you.  My other brother will not mince his words regarding my skills, so I prefer her still. heeh. So, What does the above mean?? PATIENCE.
Patience my guy.
Learning patience during html lessons
In scrabble, its just 12 points if at-all you don get the double/tripple letter stuff. I'm that guy who has to learn this the hard way. I once enrolled for an html class in codeacademy, because someone asked, and I agreed because I knew its easy and I was(and am) already a developer.
The bad part was, codeacademy has its own curriculum. I signed up and started html, aiming at finishing the next day. I started skipping stuff, almost everything anyway, untill I realized that my percentage was not going up.
I looked at my curriculum levels, topics and percentages and realized I was too far, and going too fast in the wrong direction. / just remembered casting crowns' tune /
If I really wanted to achieve this, I have to do this their way, not mine.
Patience is conditional. I stand to be corrected though. In patience, you somehow submit. I did that. I fully submitted and started learning html, from the first line, to the end.

I later finished, and learnt both patience and html. Right now, I use this example in lotsa experiences. If I didn't repeat that class, I still would finish but with blanks in the course outline. Same as roasting meat using tongues of flames. Best choma takes time, and is prepped on top of coals. It gets the best of heat, and it heats to the core. The potter does the same,(I had a pottery class in primary sch. I knw this. hehe) no hurry in drying the creation, or it'll crack anytime.

It's a clitché patience is a virtue but it's so true. It takes discipline. I struggled and later reaped the benefits.

I'm in a position to say, redo something you've ever done. You'll learn something new after you're done.

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!!

In your Presence Lord

haha ignore the previous 2 posts..they are empty... God's presence is so amazing, it's our source of life and this life comes with everything we require in this life. There's nothing I love more than God's presence. This one's for you My King; In your Presence Lord i choose to be present. Always basking in your glory and thanking you for my story. Never looking back but always coming back. You touch my heart so deep that i just can't help but sing...sing that i love you, that i want more of you, that i need you. Sweeping me off my feet you leave me sinking in your love so deep. Nothing going amiss, never growing weak but always seeking deep. Consumed in your presence, taken by your power that i assumed the hour. I don't wanna leave but live. In your presence i will wait never growing faint. In you am complete oh i choose to sit...to sit and wait no hurry to leap and faint.You are my Rock, my God, my All, my Fortress that i run to when hopeless. The glim...

Eulogy | How could you leave us?

I feel this.The only difference is mine is a dad, minus pills. I lost my dad. Hard to keep up  with. Thanks for a place to let it out. Hard to keep it in. Harder to tell a story. Just write down what you're thinking n feeling +Patrick   (not everything though)  Can't use a past tense..I love my dad. I told my dad I loved him once, and it felt awesome. Had never done. I've never told my mum that I love her. I think I need to. I felt so bad...I've never wanted the news bearer to be as wrong as that day. I thought of praying and raising the dead, but just couldn't do it. Science said no, God let it happen. He has reasons. Can't question. NF kinda painted it for me. Honestly, some things can't be forgotten. Can't be undone. Can't be replaced. The only thing I have are precious last moments and advices. Specifically the last thing I did is share a cup of tea in my room. If you're watching Dad, I'm not looking back. I'm matching forth...
