Hey There! I Am Using WhatsApp.

"Hey there! I am using WhatsApp" That is the default WhatsApp status. Other people, myself included, change this status update from time to time depending on the time, season, mood or the current situation. Other people, on the other hand opt to stick to the default update for reasons only best known to them. Those ones are not so common in my contact list so anytime I see it, I can almost always be sure that it is a new WhatsApp user.

A few months ago, my father purchased a smart phone. During the days that followed, we found his struggle with the new device a little bit too hilarious. And as a Computer Science graduate, I was constantly on call to help him with the swiping, sending messages, apps download and the data bundles that were devouring his airtime within minutes. You know...exactly what I studied in campus. But within a few weeks, he had caught on. In fact, he had caught on so fast that he even signed up for a number of social media sites. WhatsApp being one of them!

Happy New Year {Post #100}

Its 2015 folks!! Wow! So before I go any further, I would like to take this opportunity to wish all of you a Happy New Year. I know I am bit late to this party but seeing that we haven’t conversed in a couple of weeks, I think I am allowed. Yes? Plus, people will still be on this vibe up to say…February so I’ll take comfort in knowing I am still in the acceptable time frame.

So how have you been guys? How were your holidays? Mine were awesome albeit short! I went home with a mission to overindulge in meat and cakes and all other sorts of unhealthy bitings and feel no remorse…and I am happy to announce that I did just that, LOL!

What I Love About You

Hello guys! How are ya’ll doing? Missed me? Ok…it was worth a shot anyway. Hehe! I thought I should pop by before the month ends and do one more post for the road. I got some good news people! Google would like to make you a Certified in Online Basics. And I will be doing a post about that sometime soon. So just stay reading so that the good stuff doesn’t pass you by :)

I got more good news (I am full of them today, aren’t I?) hehe. My sister (the younger twin), the one I talked about in this post here has moved back to Nairobi! Yeey! Oh my, come to think about it, this is good news and bad news. Why bad, you may ask. Because this means that I will now be permanently relegated to my third wheel status when it comes to hanging out with my sisters. I could handle it when she visited for a couple of days at a time but now so help me…

Pretty much what I wear :)

However, looking at the good side of that is we can now see her often. But apart from that, of all of the three girls myself included, this particular sister of mine is the one who is more in tune with her feminine inside! She is the one with the highest number of handbags, heels and dresses. Heck, she needs a room for her shoes! The other twin comes a close second while I am the one who just gets by. LOL, you know, throw in a pair of Ol’ schools, a tech tee and jeans and I am good to go. However, I do try on the hair and ‘make-up’ bit. They say the fact that I do IT may have messed with my brain somehow. So it is her hope that because she has moved closer home, some of her glitz and glamour would rub off on me.

18 Till I Die

Hello folks. I hope you are doing well. I am fabulous!! A lot of my joy could be credited to this Wednesday’s events. That is because it was…drumrolls please…My Birthday!

Happy Birthday!!!

So I turned 18 years…again! Ha-ha. I have lost count how many times I have turned this age but just between me and you, I am still young! It’s not that I am refusing to disclose my age. Heck, many of you already know it. But I use that term ’18 till I die’ because I came to understand one thing. Even if you are growing old, it is very important to stay young. Leave the stresses behind because at the end of the day all the things that seem so important, in reality they really aren’t. Hence, taking life one step at a time the way a teenager would is actually a good thing. Don’t get me wrong, I am not saying one should be irresponsible. Just that one needs to prioritize once in a while. If you do this, you will enjoy life more.

Raising Hope

Hello folks. I trust you have been well. I can't complain either. Oh, wait...I can! But I will choose not to hehe. Instead, I will share something very interesting with you so ya'll better stick around :)

Children are a gift from God. One cannot deny the amount of joy their presence brings to a family. This brings me to what today’s post is about. I want to introduce you to someone who is very close to my heart. She changed my life. She made me better. Well, it’s not what all of you are thinking hehe. I am talking about my niece :)

So angelic. And the people say "awwwwww"

A few months ago, March to be precise, our family welcomed a beautiful baby girl. We named her ‘Hope’. She was so tiny and fragile it was almost hard to hold her without thinking you were hurting her. Her delicate cry could bring you to tears as you could not decipher why this angel was not happy. It is almost as if she was yanked from a beautiful life and damned to this cruel world and she just wanted to go back. But as the days went by, she kept on adjusting and feeling at home. And now almost six months later, she couldn’t be happier! Or maybe I should let her speak for herself? Watch this space…
