Love texting.

Ever lost a phone? I have, and boy! what a nightmare it was.

I can not imagine how people lived without this little gadgets. I love the ability to be able to especially text people, I think that is the coolest feature ever.

Next time am having a face to face conversation with you and am busy texting om my phone, please pardon my french.

The beautiful game (part two)

And the affair that was the 2010 FIFA World Cup is over. I don’t know how your last month has been, for me, every match was one beautiful date (the ones on the weekends anyway).

I must say, I’m growing some love for the game :) , I have learnt some rules (what a nice place to start) and that’s about it. I don’t know so much about the teams of the world and the players to look out for, but that’s alright. By the time the next world cup rolls by, I will be fan numero uno ;). Speaking of which, the final match was such an anticlimax for me…

For y’all whose teams lost, don’t worry "We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time."

Adios

The beautiful game.

(yikes! I can't believe am romanticising football - am hooked HELP!!!).

World cup fever officially crept up on me (minus the analyses, those I can not stand), and I have been rooting for Ghana since their match with USA... It was sad seeing Ghana crash out of the tournament a few minutes ago.

And thank you Shakira for the theme song 'waka waka..... this time for Africa' it did not happen, thanks for jinxing everything, its time for a rhymix.

Started working night shifts for the first time, just when i get the hang of it, am going back to day, so much. But atleast i will be back to the same time zone as many of you ;)

Y'all are probably on your tenth dream right now.

Ole Sereni (Ole Sorry-ini)

If you have used Mombasa Road in Nairobi, then you must have seen Ole Sereni Hotel (just before King James Hospital or better still opposite Zain HQ, I suck with directions). I have too, and recently I got to sample it and what a disappointment.

The ambience was good, lemonade just fine, the view of Nairobi national park excellent, they even have binoculars,you can try to spot a herbivore or two. My main attraction however was the Moroccan chicken.... let me just say I have eaten better chicken. It reminded me of the chicken choma laden with orange food coloring that is sometime served on the streets of Mombasa, and the Kibwezi hotels; and even those are better because your expectations are not high when you are palcing an order. They also have the worst Indian food (they sprinkle cumin on food and call it Indian!?) and everything comes on a bed of potatoes. arrgh

But I live near it, so am going to go there again and again, order a glass of lemonade, get a sit on the terrace, and enjoy free Wi-Fi.... maybe post an article again ;)
