Love at first photo...

"I knew i loved you before i met you" words to a song you've never heard but they say it all for me when it comes to you.The first time i saw you is nothing to write about..because it was just a simple picture that captured my heart.It took a while before i got to meet you..and when that happened i was just another stranger getting to know you.It took a while for you to even like me but i enjoyed every minute of it .You are the sweetest little thing..stubborn too!!The way you say my name, not even the best linguist could pronounce it the way you do!! "Tantine Ifete" 3 years have now passed, and all i keep thinking about is how much you are growing up to be one smart little precious girl.I miss you, i miss those nursery rhymes you danced and sung to, i miss that smile that always lit up my day, i miss those tantrums you threw at meal times, i simply miss my Berry.

I fell in love with you too, Bella, the minute i saw your picture..now i know how it feels like to be in love with more than one person. It's the best feeling...and loving u both has shown me how much my heart has grown and how love can grow so strong .You two are so different and yet so alike but my love for u is the same, my Berry and my Bella.

Sweet Bella, your simple quiet soul had me at" hallo"..its the way u pick up that remote control thinking it's a phone so that u can whisper the words "hallo", and those moments when your pensive gaze makes me think that maybe there's wisdom far beyond those teeny tiny eyes.

Now there are 3 of you in my life,and this love at first photo keeps happening...and in a few years you'll read this and probably ask yourselves what your aunt was rumbling about but before these words get nonsensical, these next few words are should explain my rumblings:

My heaven on earth, the one gift i can never take back, my family.God keeps sending little angels to my heaven,and you are the 3 little angels i now have.I never got to meet you when you arrived, all i have are your baby pictures that make part of my heart's photo album.I am so grateful and thankful for you, words can't even describe it...i keep wondering how you'll be in the next few years, and pray that i get to see the beautiful souls you grow to become.I may not be there with you as often as i want, but all i know is that my life is more blessed now that you are around.Not a day goes by without saying thank you, thank you for my little nieces and nephew, thank you that i have new angels in my world! Love at first photo, that's how i know you are heaven sent!

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...
