K.I.S.S ! K.I.S.S !!!!



“Speak now or forever hold your peace!!”  My peace has been held for like 4 weeks now, I have had no inspiration AT ALL for writing!!But  this wedding between me and silence ends today! I have had too many topics suggested to me  ,ranging from relationships to my phobia of taking any kind of medicinal pills. But I won’t even dare start on my lifelong fears let alone speak about matters of the heart.Sooo..ooo..i will K.I.S.S my way into writing this post.

In case you are wondering about the kiss,I have my dearest big brother to thank for such wisdom. In his words,all I had to do was Keep It Simple Stupid when my brain went on strike (he probably won’t even remember giving me this piece of advice while I was in my final year of high school) but it works!


Trying to find the magic
Trying to write a classic
Waste-bin full of paper
Clever rhymes, see you later

These words are my own
From my heart flow
I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you

That's all I got to say,
Can't think of a better way,
And that's all I've got to say,
I love you, is that okay

Natasha Bedingfield”THESE WORDS”

Those lyrics up there make the keeping it simple philosophy one of the most ingenious ways of living life. Sometimes I think am one of the insane people of our times,simply because every word in a song is a  message about life (lyrical life) no matter how absurd or silly it is. Those words up there look like this in my mind:
Keep it simple,don’t be stupid to try making a show of things, in the end every moment passes by. Lasting moments are those that hold meaning to their true purpose.

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...
