The Way I See It

High Windows and Weddings

Last weekend I attended a wedding in a catholic church. It broke back lots of primary school memories. I have always been impressed by the architecture of most Catholic church buildings. The high roofs and windows and the soft colours always catch my eye. So while everyone was waiting for the bride to arrive, I got a few pictures of the building.

Friday Fives – Celebrity Crushes

The life of a teenager involves a continuous chain of crushes that it’s almost a full time job. Okay who am I kidding? It never stops when we get older, we just get preoccupied with real life men that are admittedly less dreamy but more available. Here is a list of my celebrity crushes;

1. Idris Elba– Let us all just have a moment to sigh. It’s his accent I think though it could be the fact that…

In the spirit of the #ThrowbackThursday hashtag that is on most social media sites, I would like to let you have a glimpse of my past mind. Back when I thought I was a poet, I wrote number of pieces that could be considered poetic. The following piece was written in November 2010. It’s called “Most”. 

I will give you my heart, not all of it but most.

Lest it goes to your head and makes you boast.

As soft as a baby

Winter is upon us. All the coats, scarves and boots have been unearthed and are back in use. Among my friends, the cold season has been dubbed the season of lovers. It’s so cold that you have no choice but to cuddle with your Significant other. Well, I call it the season of dry skin. My face gets so cold that it loses all its moisture and becomes cracked. It looks wrinkled, old and scaly. I’ve…

House Of Cards Season 2

I recently just finished watching the second season of House of Cards. I had been putting it off for a while but I finally decided to get it over with. The beginning of season one had me falling in love with Frank Underwood’s cleverness. The way he manipulated situations and people for his own agenda was exhilarating. The way he took small defeats as minor setbacks was inspiring. His weird…

When The Hub is Away

Last week, The Hub had to go somewhere for a few days. After living with him for months I have become dependent on him and his absence is felt. There are stages to this absence feeling or grief and I will give you a tour through all of them but I implore you to not judge me.

1. Ecstasy– When I find out that he is going away I get excited. I think about all the things I can do that I never get the…

Sarah wanted to find love online. They found each other on craigslist, he seemed really interesting and they seemed to click so they arranged to meet up. What she didn’t know is that he is a predator and now she’s dead. Chloe was an avid texter and social media addict. She posted her every move, meal and endeavours. He stalked her on facebook. Read her every status and studied her lifestyle until…

Livingstone – Victoria falls

During the easter weekend, The Hub and I travelled to Livingstone for a mini vacation. All I wanted to see was the Victoria falls but we got to put in a few more things. It was in the spur of the moment so we didn’t plan out everything in detail. I learnt that if you want to visit Livingstone during a long weekend, you have to reserve a room very early. A few days before the weekend I tried to…

Marriage is…..

A lot of people have been asking me how marriage is. My single friends want to find out if it’s all people say it is or as horrible as some say it is. How is it? Do I like it? They ask me with a curiosity that I possessed only a few months ago. They ask me as if somehow my answer will determine if they should go ahead and get married. The married people want to find out how I’m finding the new…
