...Of Wishing You A Prosperous New Year 2014


























Am hereby wishing you a happy and splendid New Year in which all you endeavours will be fulfilled through the Mighty Favour of the Lord GOD. May He guide your each and every step in the forthcoming year. At this time, one should take his/her time to reflect on how the year has been. Amid the celebrations marked with pomp and colour, we should look back and learn from the days of the past. If there were some failures, or even if it deems all a failure to you, hold no regrets and soldier on; taking with you the lessons that you've learnt and say,'Hello Tomorrow.' After all, life doesn't come with instructions. Mistakes are meant to be lessons to be learnt from; not to be repeated! With that I wish you a prosperous Year 2014...!!! See you in 2014 - THE YEAR OF BLESSINGS!
It's said that a tree cannot reach Heaven if its roots don't reach Hell.

The Superbeing A Woman Is

Before the sun shines and the dawn breaks
She's already up and awake
For a little slumber she cannot find
Being bothered by thoughts of those she minds

She's driven by a palatable passion
A passion to pursue her mission
To make this world a better place
One filled with love and ample space

To her son she accords cordial love
By tending to his begs and calls
Her love is beyond limits
Limited to no weather whether day or night

She toils and moils all day long
This she surely does for so long
In fact, for all her lifetime long
But it's her culture; in it she belongs

She cannot eat ere her son is full
She cannot sleep ere her son is dead asleep
But for nine months she beared and waited
Amidst the agony, she was cool and collected

Diamond's covalent bonds are green with envy
At the bond between a mother and her child
To her is the child attached
Together they make a perfect match

Now that her love we all eat
And in her shoes we cannot fit
What gift do we dedicate
To show of it?

Mediocrity - The All Time Man's Foe!

Mediocre people are the ones who claim themselves to be the brightest among the most ignorant.The condition comes about as a result of fearing to take a step and be different from others.They hesitate to take that step which will bring a positive change in the society.
People who suffer from mediocrity compare their worse things with the worst!For example in a race,when he finishes forth,he will console himself that at least there was the fifth.
Why be a goldfish in the pond while you have the potential to be a big,white shark in the ocean?Don't be the man who's just happy by being among and with those that he inspires.This is because his light shines among the weak(in the dark),and that is why he's just comfortable.This shouldn't be the case,be among the great thinkers and let your light shine in the light!You really need to be a great thinker!
I urge you not to be that guy who thinks that he's thinking but in actual sense he's re-arranging the blocks of ignorance in his 'naughty' mind.Don't also be the guy who's an accidental thinker!Uh-Uh!
Remember, commoness is when/what you fear to do differently.
All the Best,my friends.
Have a splendid December holiday by avoiding at all costs, being mediocre in your life. You choose only the extremes, there's no in between.That's MEDIOCRITY !!

Social Misfits

As she walks down the street
Eyes glare at her pop out straight
As they pierce through her soul and mind
In her soul ease alone she cannot find
Tears drip down her chubby cheeks
Making her face pale and soar for weeks

She's seethed but silent
'Cos she cannot lament
It was her will and wish
That she contracted the virus
The virus that claims her life
Her short-lived life
Enough not for ample triumphs

She hears the sounds beat her ears
Of those that are not her beloved
As they back-bite and gossip her
Of the fate that has befallen her
By contracting the deadly disease
That wants her life dead and ceased
In it she sees neither hope nor aid
To treat her disease called AIDS

He's loathed like the devil
By everyone he comes across
A go-away-you-idiot look is his glance
It hurts him like a lance
As they never stop to wonder
At what he sees in his male colleague
As if they aren't of the same league
To want to be a gay
In lieu of making hay
While the sun shines so bright

(Let's accommodate everyone in our lives. They all have been created by God in spite of their misfortunes.)

 NGONG HILLS EXPEDITION!      



It all started on Friday the 15th of November, 2013. We arrived at Ngong Town at 6.00 p.m. We were overly excited to have reached the long awaited destination.This is what we had dreamed of for days on end.The day was finally here!
Upon reaching Ngong Township Primary School, we were welcomed by the ugly classrooms in which we would spend the night. We immediately started working on our supper for the night. This is usually done by the various groups in which we are assigned.
When we had already taken our supper,we retired to our beds but that wasn't all. This is because there are the popular 'Night Shifts' that are assigned to every group.This is when we have to wake up and guard for some time in the night.It's both fantastic and stressing (You know what I mean).The cold nights aren't a JOKE ! If you can't believe me, then believe the strong katabatic winds that blow in the Ngong Hills during the night. Weuwe!
During the hiking,it's all fun-filled with several checkpoints on the way before reaching our final destination. This is when we really are into the moment, enjoying each and every second of it. We carry waterbottles with us because we really get thirsty during the hiking. Since it (the water) isn't in much supply, we only afford to take a sip!
With a compass and a map only, you navigate through the hills, valleys,bushes and across rivers to get to your respective checkpoint. But of course a compass and a map only cannot fully aid you in determining your destination. You therefore need to enquire from the inhabitants. This you should do in the local language or  in the national language (i.e, Kiswahili). It's fun-filled!!
We usually took  lunch at around 2 p.m. This was when we got some chance to relax and rest. At this time, we also played some games to relieve ourselves of the weariness brought about by hiking. The popular ( Kati) was our favourite!       
The rest of the hiking would be done on our way to the institution in which we would spend the night. We mostly reached the respective institution at dusk. Without dilly-dallying, we would immediately start by preparing our supper. This is also done in terms of groups. This way, group work is enhanced among the members. There's also a lot of interaction. This improves one's social skills.
During  the last day of the expedition, we usually have the most-loved BONFIRE! This, we can say, is the climax of it all. Let me not say much about it because I simply can't explain how fantastic it is. Any member, even the most dull one, will accord with me about this.
As I wind up, leadership skills are developed among the members by the various roles that a member is accorded.
Lastly, I can say that President's Award is the place for any teenager to be!!
