Wed, 27th Jun 2012Today has been quite a frustrating day for me. Enough times I came close to screaming; literally! But I was in the wrong place all the time. You see, I live in Dar es salaam, a city known to have temperatures of up to 35 deg Celsius sometimes. Then the infamous TANESCO decides to cut power at midnight, when I was just about to go to sleep!!! How does one sleep in that heat? Anyway, I managed to... [Continue reading] -
Wed, 27th Jun 2012If you were to ask me, I think the most challenging job is that of a Brand Manager. Why do I say this? Because this person is responsible for ensuring the brand (s)he is dealing with has the right image at all times; even when it misbehaves. It is their responsibility to ensure that even when the image is at the greatest risk of being tarnished, the brand still stands out. Just to show you what I... [Continue reading] -
Wed, 27th Jun 2012About 3 months ago I had to come face to face with harsh reality, when I realized I was beginning to “grow” a pot-belly. You know for a woman that is not very good news and so obviously I had to do something about it. I had two options; either to adopt a workable diet or to hit the gym and burn the annoying fat that had crept up on me “unnoticed” (but what did I really expect after I started...

Wed, 27th Jun 2012One of my greatest hobbies is driving long distance. It is therapeutic for me, and though many might say it is dangerous to drive when annoyed or stressed, for me it works magic any time. It is important to note though that its not just any car that works for me; don’t give me a Toyota Vitz, or a Probox and expect me to enjoy that drive… that will probably stress me more. In short, the car must... [Continue reading] -
Wed, 27th Jun 2012Someone once said that you don’t need to be in class for you to learn a thing or two… how true this is! Lessons come our way every single day, regardless of where we are at, or who we are with at that precise moment. Question is, how often do we retain the lessons we learn? It is with this question in mind that I have decided to write a post consolidating the lessons that have stood out for me... [Continue reading] -
Wed, 27th Jun 2012The other day I was at home and had the luxury of watching a movie starring an animal… an elephant called Bo Tat to be precise. Name of the movie is Operation Dumbo Drop; quite a hilarious movie….. or maybe I appreciated it a lot because of Bo Tat… She was actually quite funny, and she happened to be the only female in the entire cast.... :-) Just to give you a summary, the movie is about a...

Tue, 26th Jun 2012I don't know about you but sometimes life can be so *tiring* for lack of another word to use! However, like I discovered, it is not until you reach a point where you decide "I am sick and tired of being sick and tired" that you make the necessary changes to your life.... One of the greatest motivational speakers of our time, Les Brown, shares with us how you can do this... -
Tue, 26th Jun 2012They say a change is as good as a rest and so for me, when I am tired, I stop doing what I was doing before and look for another distraction. One of the distractions I enjoy is reading clean wholesome jokes as a way of relaxing my mind. I recently stambled upon an interesting joke which I have shared with you here below: A guy from England, named John, had just arrived in New York for the first... [Continue reading] -
Sun, 17th Jun 2012The first half of 2012 is almost gone. How are your New Year resolutions coming along? Or are you still trying to work on last year’s resolutions? Whatever the case, the past is gone never to come back; you can decide to have a New Year any time you decide to. It’s all a matter of attitude. Speaking of attitude, have you ever realized that the attitude you wear each morning when you wake up... [Continue reading] -
Tue, 27th Mar 2012On Friday 11th March is a day I will never forget. I did what the street lingo in Kenya would term as “roundi-mwenda”…. I air-crossed this beautiful country called Tanzania like my life depended on it. If you are one of my friends on facebook, you must have seen my status message which read something like this: “Woke up in Dar, had breakfast in Arusha, lunch at Kilimanjaro and mid-afternoon tea...
