Give Her Your Attention, Listen To Her, And She Is Yours!!

"Our Small, stupid conversations meant so much more to me than you'll ever know..." She said and slowly walked away.....

Couples Having Fun
On this day, I take her out to a decent resort for a Saturday evening coffee (I sacrificed my Arsenal game). At least to spice up our love life as they say, we reach at this resort and I spot a very close friend of ours, we exchange pleasantries and off we go to our table.

I order a Delmonte juice for both of us and 30 minutes down the line, after some sweet words, the devil began to work. I don't know what happened, but I found myself with my phone, very busy on twitter, I guess we were telling someone about something. (Those familiar with twitter know this hashtags where some perceived enemy is told using  #SomeOneTell... complete with the person's name) I was so into reading this tweets that I forgot that she was across the table, and she has been speaking to me with no reply or concentration from me. Then I had a very small innocent voice saying, lemme ask Dan something I will be back (that friend of ours seated next table, Not his real Name).

She carried her glass of juice and walked to Dan, few minutes later I was distracted from my phone with laughter, a hearty laughter at that, and alas, that was Dan and my gal seeming to enjoy every bit of the time. I ignored everything as my tweets were so interesting ( You know how Kenyans can be creative with twitter's 140 characters especially when they are telling someone). I was so into my phone till I was distracted by camera flashlights, and now Dan is taking photos with my gal?! Ka wivu kakaanza kuingia ni catch mafeelings!

Now you must be sure I got worried, looking at my phone its 30 minutes since she went to ask Dan something, was she still asking? By now they had sat down and the laughter was very high, my Delmonte became tasteless, my phone uninteresting. 1 hour down the line she was still asking; now you can imagine seating alone at a resort like a lost sheep. Very lonely and to imagine this was supposed to be a "ME & HER" day out together.

All of sudden I found myself storming out of the resort like a mad dog, but before I could go a distance further my friend Dan approached me asking, where are you going? Bro, I am leaving. What about your gal? You've got her! ..take care of Her!

I could see Dan trembling, and trying to murmur some few words cursing as he just realised something.(He later told me, he didn' know that my gal was using him to get back at me) I told him, hey Ninja, you got my gal for more than one hour, and I am seated here waiting for you guys? I am  your bodyguard or something? Lets just say, I walked back and to my utter surprise she had gone back to our table, seated there, very beautiful, humble but very annoyed and furious. (We all know that innocent killer look from ladies)

My question has always been; who was supposed to be mad here? Me or Her?

I immediately joined her at the table, she stood up, took her porch, but before she left she told me, "Pete and by the way, I was not flirting, I was just being extra nice to someone who gave me attention".  Lets just say, Ladies have some magic, it took me the whole night to be forgiven and had to part with some bars of milky chocolate. Then it occurred to me that "Love is like war; easy to begin but very hard to stop"

Lessons learnt.

1. Give her attention, listen to her, even if she is speaking nothing, listen to her!
2. You will never know the value of her presence, till you see the magic her presence does to someone else, respect her presence!
3. No matter how many times you say, you don't care, you do. So stop pretending and take care of her!
4. When you are with your lady, No social Media. No Facebook, No Twitter. No Instagram. No whats app. In fact No Phone!
5. Ladies are sharp, how could she waste my delmonte? (By the way I only had 3-4 sips)  how could she make me so jealous? And how could she think of using my best friend to get back at me and still stand firm and demand an apology and get some chocolates?! Ladies are Sharp and smart. They are FBI. You can not Outsmart them. Be loyal!


TRUE: Its the tinniest stupid things that we do, that make love what it is.
Give Her Your Attention, Listen To Her, And She Is Yours!!

THE THOMAS SANKARA STORY - AFRICA'S CHE GUEVARA

In the early hours of a night in 1987, one of Africa’s youngest leaders, President Thomas Sankara, was murdered and quietly and quickly buried in a shallow grave. He was only 37 years old.  But first who is Thomas Sankara?  Born Thomas Isidore Noël Sankara on 21 December 1949 in Yako French Upper Volta. He was the third of ten children to Joseph and Marguerite Sankara.  In his teens, the bright Sankara an excellent student in mathematics and French defied his parents' wish to become a catholic priest and opted for the military that was very popular at the time.  So, at age 17, he took the military entrance exams, passed, and joined the Kadiogo military academy. He met Adama Touré, the academy's director who taught history and geography and was known for having progressive ideas. Adama Toure invited a few of his brightest and more political students, among them Sankara, to join informal discussions about imperialism, neocolonialism, socialism, and communism, the Sovie...

Listen to Them If You Have To, But Be Sober!!

A Happy Family! "...I will do all I can to keep my family intact.." a colleague once told me . So on this day we are out for lunch, me paying for a promise of lunch. As we discuss other issues, this topic of recent rise in cases of domestic violence and marriage break- ups, comes up. Several marriages are breaking up at a supersonic speed and the main course being one. Mpango Wa Kando (Side Chic/dude), .. A story is told of a friend who swore never to get married again after she found out that her man, her husband a believer had been keeping a side chic for the 2 years of their marriage. That must be painful eh?! On confrontation, the man blames the chic for tempting and seducing him.. (this must be the joke of the year). Listening to my colleague narrate the story as she curses and swears to do all she can in her powers to keep her marriage intact, I suddenly get lost in my wonder world wondering what is becoming of the institution of marriage. Just why can...

Mind Games. Just Who Is In Charge? ~ Diaries!

My Diaries 1. Author: Bree.K From my diaries, about Mind Games, and how the modern gal and the modern dude wanna control each other... Let me get this right, so what’s bae? Is it an acronym that stands for ‘ before anyone else ’ or the shortened version for baby or babe? (according to google). This word lost meaning to me after my last encounter in a  situation-ship , lol, let me just say the last encounter with a guy I shared most of my teenage memories with. (You know those stupid happy lovey lovey moments, when you are this hot high school gal, that every Tom, Dick & Harry is yearning for?) Story for another day... to be continued ... Back to mind games and I stand to be corrected; I don’t think anyone in my generation still believes in marriage...(Can't believe I just said that) Dating has to be the sweet-bitter experience, yes we hang out, take selfies with the magic selfie-stick, post them on instagram, create love stories with them on  snap chat ,...
