Monday Night with Flo

History will be re-written, but as that happens I will put a few words together.
Monday afternoon was quite a busy day for me as I had errands to run plus to a point that I skipped lunch (Not so Prime-like)
I am in a point in life where any decision I make is key and reflects on several
I have overcome lots of stuff and more so managed to remain afloat. I however got some snack late evening before heading out to meet with the ever lovely and classy Florence.
This lady and I have lots of great memories together, we laugh about some very lame jokes we drop on and of each other.
things now and in the future.
She also has a good heart and time spent with her is never a waste.
Nowadays I like having coffee at Java Kimathi street because I love their coffee and service.
So when I asked her to meet up at 7.30 she agreed, only to get before me there and sadly there was no seat.
So she crossed over to Kaldis and got a table for two. I got there and after some little pleasantries we got to our conversations as we dug into some good Chips masala (Someone said yake ni kidogo) and later a glass of Milkshake.

A two and half hour chat ended up with some good points in my head:

1.  Don't just read, actualize the fact that you have to work hard and smart in your 20's, invest in your 30's and retire in your 40's

2. Do not at any point stand up to people who reason with their ego because it will hurt you in ways you do not understand.

3. Make yourself happy, however right you think Is right.

4. Learn to save, the loose change you throw around is a large amount in the long run.

5. Learn to forgive people, accept  what friendship and love has to offer.

Have you set foot in an Irish pub, well i have, but it was under construction at the time.... In my small time research, i have found out that any establishment is unique based on unique culture centred around a casual and friendly atmosphere, hearty food and drink, Irish sports, and at times traditional Irish music. ION , a humorous writer and master of wits has written some good words about the hottest thing that has happened to Mombasa Road in the recent past, Zipang Lounge Get carried away When I travel, and I have been here and there doing this and that, top on my list of to do things is sampling as varied a menu as I can comfortably sample. Exotic meals, local dishes, name it. So I have experienced quite a varied fare. I have eaten ‘Fufu with green green’ where the accompaniment is escargot, if you catch my drift, at that local foods place inside Accra Mall in Ghana. With soup to die for I must say. Especially with just the right amount of pepe..what we call

Why you can consider joining NYS in your "gap year"

President Uhuru Kenyatta greets National Youth Service recruits after a parade at the NYS college in Gilgil on September 10, 2014.Photo, courtesy After watching 'Boy Meets World', a television series that chronicles the life of friends from middle school days to their marriage life, one thing kept ringing in my mind is how most men make mistakes in the gap between completion of high school and the "start of life" as most people call the transition. In the current set up, once a young man aged 17 or 18 completes high school, there is always gap of about one year before they can join college or college or university. With so much time on your hands, some try the few things they were always warned against. There others who form groups with their peers and spend days roaming in the neighbourhood and, eventually, try a few things like drugs and alcohol. Others take opportunity to try relationships with the opposite sex as this was banned while in school. But

One year later, Jubilee on the right track? Today marks the first anniversary of the Jubilee government tenure in office since the repeat polls in October 26, 2017. The goverment led by President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto was elected after the first poll was cancelled by Kenya's Supreme Court citing irregularities, and ordered a new one within 60 days. The election commission had declared incumbent Uhuru Kenyatta the winner by a margin of 1.4 million votes. Raila Odinga, Uhuru's opponent, said the commission was "rotten and demanded their resignation. President Uhuru would later in October clinch the seat with  7,483,895 votes out of the 7,616,217 valid votes cast. The Opposition however did not take part in the repeat poll as NASA supporters barred IEBC officials from delivering voting material and engaged police in running battles. Raila had pulled out of the race two weeks before the election saying it would be skewed like the first poll. He fur
