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!Its a strange feeling but am getting used to it.
Where do i even start???This place is hilly,beautiful,calm,serene...am in a capital city that doesn't even sound noisy,its  way too clean,the air is way too fresh!!its weirdly good!! And in my first week here i discovered my 2nd worst phobia, riding  a motorbike!!( who am i kidding, the ride is exhilarating but am just too scared to get on that thing again!!!)
The hilly views are breathtaking,the people are beautiful, the food is amazing,what more could anyone ask for??( thats just being patriotic ) 
Honestly there's a whole lot to write about my visit here,and i have a whole lot of time to write it all down. STAY TUNED FOR MORE!!

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 ...

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...
