Sunset Creeps

The room was dark. It was cold too. I had nothing to keep me warm but the grey overall that I had worn. The fact that it was raining cats and dogs outside could have had something to do with the dull mood but I think the somber circumstances surrounding my life were playing a bigger role at that particular time. I was hungry. The supper I ate was barely enough. You would have thought by now I would’ve gotten used to it, but I hadn’t.

It was an accident. It was not meant to go down like that. I am a good man, I have always been. But the turn of events on that fateful day changed my life forever. And who would have known things would have ended up like this? If I had the slightest inkling of this life I am currently living, I would have never left my bed that Monday morning two years ago. Instead, I could have just spent the day with my beautiful wife and the baby we were expecting that summer.

I can still remember her pretty face as I prepared to leave for work that morning. To say she was gorgeous would be understatement. The pregnancy was good to her. Five months into it and she was still energetic and vibrant. She was glowing. We had recently tied the knot so were not over those ‘little things that love birds do’. She was sad when I kissed her goodbye.

Get Your Students Certified

Hello folks. How are you doin’?  I hope ya’ll are well and keeping warm during this sweater weather that we have going on in the country. It was a very eventful weekend for me so I thought I should share some of that goodness with you and hope that it would bring some sort of warmth hehe.

For those who have been keeping up with the GSAs, we should start that reality show hehe, you know that we have this project of training the students in our respective campuses in online basics and have them certified.  And this project is dubbed ‘Get Your Students Certified’.  In line with this, we held our Kenyatta University training this past Friday and Saturday.

Posters

The objective of this event was to promote web literacy, online basics and internet safety on campus to the students that would like to be certified. Publicity around the school was done by posters which were stuck in strategic locations.

Applications now open for Google EMEA scholarships - Apply today!

Hello people. It has been a while since I posted something, I know! And I am very sorry. In the words of Kevin Hart . . . let me explain. Hehe, I just had to find a way to wiggle that phrase in this post. I have watched that stand up comedy over ten times now and I can probably recite everything on cue!

But, the explanation part is, I have been really tied down this past week. Having really long days and short nights. Until I started thinking to myself that maybe, just maybe...I bit off more than I could chew. This got me a bit down in the dumps but I think I am coming out of it. I realize to whom much is given, much is also expected so I am currently going through some soul searching of sorts, finding my happy places and getting a new outlook on things. My music and "singing" are helping me a lot!!! On the real though, I cannot wait for December! I need me my vaccay!

That aside, I am here with some good news and that is ...drum rolls...The Applications for the EMEA scholarships are now open! This, however, is solely for the ladies! So sorry dudes, maybe the next one :(

#OracleDay {Kenyan Edition 2013}

Top of the afternoon to all of you! Ok, I do not know if there is a greeting like that but I am just assuming because there exists a ‘top of the morning’ greeting…oh, well you get the drift hehe. So, how have you been? Good I hope. In my last post, I had mentioned something about telling you what went down on Friday, so here I am fulfilling my promises :)

For the longest time, IT or tech events have always been an opportunity for me and my pals to go and learn something more, network, explore opportunities and of course…eat! This has been the case for a little over a year now. From the hackathons held at hotels like the Boma Hotel, Red Court Hotel, PAWA254 and the iHub to the talks in Intercontinental Hotel, Sankara Hotel, Southern Sun Mayfair Hotel and also the famous Hilton Hotel. I have attended them all!

Map Your World {Google Map Maker Event}

Hello my good people. It is a beautiful day and I hope you are well and happy. I am also just peachy! Well that is apart from this aching back and shoulders that I have. Oh boy, I could kill for a massage right about now. It has been a long week. But the fact that it has been fruitful makes all the pain worth it. And before I continue any further, I would just like to thank you once again for finding your way to this blog. It is always a pleasure to have you on board!

Yesterday we had our edition of Google Map Maker, map your world. It is the second one I have attended. The first time, which was last year, I was there as an attendee. But who knew the second time around I would be there as the GSA. It was really awesome for me to get to have a feel of both sides. Come to think of it, the same can be said for Jeremy :)

Going Google Awareness Campaign

So this is a very big week for Kenyatta University because guess what people, we are finally going Google!! Oh so sorry, I even forgot to say hello! How mean of me. How are you? I trust you are awesome! I am swell as well…uhhh, I rhymed (score one for me)

I am going to make this as brief as I can so that you do not get bored along the way and sleep and miss your bus and get stuck where you are and be forced to spend the night there hence get late for where you are supposed to be tomorrow and long story short, it’s just going to be really hectic for you.
