Tick tock...tick tock.....



We have  31,536,000 seconds in a year, now minus 1,209,600 seconds (that’s a whole  2 weeks)  ,if you  a math geek  am probably sure this is worth your while   since you may be  trying to make sure I get my calculations right.Anyway,not wasting any more of your time,I will go straight to the song that I listened to this week after it hit the music world 3 years ago,and I could hum the chorus word by word once the song was over  “GOTTA LIVE LIKE WE’RE DYING”(am not joking!!)
It got me feeling  soooo..... guilty and I couldn’t help but write this post.( it has been 2 weeks since my last post.). Been feeling a little bit uninspired lately,but since I have to tell the truth,it’s been more of a lazy spell (now you know why am feeling guilty).So when I heard this song,it got me thinking of those days when my mom would always say “never put what you could do today for another day” and when it’s said in my mother-tongue with my mom’s voice,the effect on me has always been to get off my b*** and do what I gotta do!!
 So before I wrote this post ,I tried talking to myself (I haven’t gone cuckoo,its just something I like doing). I told myself that  if I could just start typing anything that came to my mind no matter how stupid it sounded  at least I would have done something.And those tiny voices in my head that told me to put things off ,I finally came up with  2 magic words  “SHUT UP”  to vanquish procrastination’s  lazy spell

Boxed in...

" Thinking out of the box, thinking like there's no box "..who cares?????  example of  wise words that I have ignored  a thousand times simply because they are money-making ideas for  inspirational gurus fixed on creating  bestselling  mantras.They give you that "i-can-do-anything" willpower which slowly fades into a  "maybe-i-can't-do-that" motto.  I am not writing this down to discredit these wise adages or worse still, to count the number of times i have ignored these words .But am writing this because i had the most unusual wake-up call,from one of these bestselling jingles "Think outside the box" Let's hit rewind and go back to a few weeks ago...it was back to class and that feeling of "am-not-ready-for-school" was nagging at me.3 months of internship,and a week to rest( which was  recuperation period from tonsils), and now back to school with a project proposal due in a week.Complaining is so easy when you have the ...

19 years later..

The past three weeks of my life have been a dream come true...not because i have stumbled into a load of cash or become a celebrity overnight. I have done nothing that seems out of the ordinary, but this event has and will forever  change my life.I have  no idea how to put it all in writing cause sometimes it still feels unreal. That dream came when i arrived in the land of a thousand hills,my home country Rwanda! I packed my bags so fast(still in shock).I got  on a bus(still in shock)n i saw my home country..still in shock!! It happened so fast and time has gone so fast..after 19 years of being away from a country i can hardly call home,i finally got to see where i was from,its like knowing a part of yourself that you didn't get a chance to live out. I won't deny that i  missed home,sometimes it felt( and still does) like i was a foreigner in my own home,everyone speaks the same language that am  able to speak but when i try to speak,it sounds so foreign!I...

Totally offside!

It's that time of the world, when the only thing i get about football is the theme song.Frankly speaking, if there were no "waka waka" and "ole ola" i would flush  this FIFA business out of my head.I have lived through 6 World Cups, and what do i have to show for my enthusiasm about football? Nothing! Football has never been my cup of tea, and there was a time growing up i remember hating all that hullabaloo that comes with it.You would assume that living with 3 brothers would make me have a soft  spot for the game, but it didn't. It made me more indifferent .Thinking of  all the cartoon shows i missed all because of a sports update that had to be watched ( probably the best days of my childhood). Despite, my clueless nature about football, i've come a long way with the game..proof of which is my mysterious knowledge of footballers' names even though i don't know how their faces look like! The soccer terminologies,well, it's enough to know...
