MARRIAGE? Reasons why not to get into it.

I was listening to Maina and King'ang'i yesterday. I know I have never been sure whether I want to get married or not. After listening to Maina's conversation with one of the ladies; HELL NO! I ain't going down the aisle. What kind of men do we have in the world?

This lady called Maina yesterday and she was explaining about her marriage situation. She got married to a man who was once a pastor. She gave her all to him. She was a virgin at marriage. After around 5 years of marriage, the husband was no longer a pastor. In fact, he goes to the bar, and spends nights out (> of course with other ladies). In the morning, he comes home drunk and beats her up. To add salt to the sour wound, she recently found out that she is HIV+.

She moved out after finding out about her status. She deeply regrets having gotten married. If she did not get married in the first place, she would be in a high-flying career and HIV-free. She concluded by saying that all men are beasts. They are out to destroy that which God has made beautiful. She was crying on radio as she was explaining the whole story.

I was waiting for a 9 am class as I was listening to all this. I was unable to hold my tears. Why in the world would a normal-thinking human being do all this to a woman he claims to love? Does love really exist? If it did, is this the kind of love that is practiced by men and women that are romantically involved?

After listening to this whole conversation, I vowed to KEEP OFF MEN! All men! I don't know how I will do it but I know I will.

DAMN ALL MEN!!!

SCHOOL AGAIN! New challenges.

At the beginning of this year, I had this strong feeling that the year would turn out to be an year of greatness, with so many expectations and resolutions.

Now, being September, I think that the year has been good so far. I have even surpassed my goals and my expectations. I honestly give all the glory to God.

We recently resumed to school. It is good, although the beginning of the semester was quite tough, challenging and stressful. It is not, however, as stressful as it is for the freshers. Most of them, about 80% of them do not have on-campus accomodation. These first-years completed high school last year and they have always been under their parents' wings.  Now that they are away from home, with no accomodation or HELB; life must be really challenging for them.

Still about school, I was moved from my usual quiet and serene hostel that is so close to everything ( the library, classes and our shopping-spree-place). I was transferred to a hostel that is at the other end of the campus. (It is not like am complaining- its better than staying off-campus). With this new hostel comes a new room-mate.

My new room-mate is in her 3rd year of study. She is good- very friendly and quite reserved. I like her quiet nature> she sometimes makes me guilty about my talkative self.

Enough whining, am glad I am now almost done with school. I can't wait to move out of school and my parents' house so that I may have freedom. Freedom to sleep and wake up when I want to.

This too shall come to pass.
