The 'one who got away'

It's been a while, I know....Many apologies! Hallo bloggers and blog readers....post number 51, feels like a milestone! lool
I had an awesome weekend(wait, yes...I am making an attempt at telling you how awesome my Saturday last weekend was. Don't want to hear it? Well, ok!) But honestly though, i had a great time...
So this bestie of mine on that particular Saturday says he doesn't like to date, looks at it as too much work! Well, i told him that i personally enjoy dates...the whole meeting a new person, getting to know them and what not. No, I'm not usually that bored, don't get it twisted, they have to be interesting people.I have been on quite a number of dates, some grew into something while others were just another speed bump. Besides how will you meet your prince/princess if you don't kiss several frogs? (old fashioned? Its true though...)
We all have that one(or in my case two #smh) who got away! I call them my 'what if's' and i'll let you in on why you need one if you don't have one.
This is for you bestie and all the beautiful people out there, read on to discover the heart-warming benefits of long lost love...

Perk #1. They bring objectivity and pespective helping you to re-evaluate why a great relationship failed. Were you nagging? Insecure? Petty? Over-protective? etc

Perk #2. It teaches to find conclusion, they're not called 'what if's' for nothing-these romances invariably have more loose ends than a plate of spaghetti. They make the importance of the closure stage hit home.

Perk #3. They become your relationship barometer. How often do you think about your 'one that got away' when you're deliciously in love? Exactly! If you are happy, it is unlikely you'll find yourself plundering the past.
If you keep thinking about how great a previous relationship was, or might have been, you're subconciously acknowledging how unsatisfying you're current one is....just saying.

Perk #4. They make you brave, the pain of someone slipping through your fingers can be a positive experience because it encourages you to be more honest with your emotions.

Perk #5. Because we usually elevate them to the ideal, the one that got away helps us focus on what we like and don't like in a patner.

Perk #6.. If you've been single for long *ahem* it's easy to think you are never going to find anyone, yet having a what if(even if it didn't work out) makes you likely to find that sort of connection again.

Perk #7. Its is also a wonderfully romantic and reassuring notion that can help you believe in love.

Seven is my lucky number(just so you know)and not surprising I could only come up with seven solidly good reasons....enjoy! xoxo!
What if? what if? what if? what if? what if? what if???

Open Post....

This is my 50th post and decided it would be open; I will not write about one thing but many different things...enjoy!

Now i was in Nyeri last weekend, Nyeri is in Central province if you were lost! I got rained on, i fell flat on my bum in very slippery mud, and consequently got a cold that has me caged up in the house now. Only upside to that weekend was the meat, i ate too much nyama and oh, we went to this white rhino club in Nyeri town. Heh, i don't know if i'm getting old ama the dresses there by some girls were barely there. Now, I'm not hating, i love Nyeri, its my second home but truth has to be spoken. There is a very thin line between sexy and trashy. What i saw was downright trashy! Don't wear something because its the in thing ama because your friends are doing it, wah! Go with your size and shape, I wish i took photos then it would be easier to explain....I digress! Now, there was this other group who came in, put their bags down on the floor and started to dance like mad men and women...How now? "what are you on?"

I realised the other day that i am a very weird person, i have something for scents, once i get your scent i can pick you from a crowd of people with your scent. It has to be cologne though, lol, i'm not a sniffer dog :P Plus someone's fingernails and voice....
That said i have a thing for accents, doesn't matter from where...lol, a man in a suit, a man who can cook and a man with really well polished english! Not forgetting T.I.

Its been a while since i went to church, but i do pray. I have a short fuse, i'm easily irritable. i was thinking of getting anger management classes, lol. I am very hard to get angry at *puppy dog eyes* I don't like gray areas, its either a yes or a no, not in between! If i like someone, its hard not to tell, its too obvious and i do like someone ;). I am a very bad liar, can't lie! I am easy to talk to, thus i have very many male friends....

Music relaxes me, i love stupidly i hate it...my favourite blog is Karlas Closet, ya'll(women) should check it out! Biko's blog on Monday is also a good read.

Con-Artists Alert....

It's a holiday today(whoop!whoop!)You do not know how long i have waited for this day, necessarily not that it's heroes day(siku ya mashujaa)but that i got some shut eye for a few more hours today morning! But all the same i salute all the heroes, thanks for whatever it is you did(being deliberately ignorant here)...
Anyhow, about two weeks ago i fell victim of a con-artist, i was so pissed all of last week.....if i had a gun?! *sigh*

Here is my story....
Oh, drat! Wait,looking for the emails that pea brained con sent me, just a moment...aah, voila! So, you know how sometimes we can get carried away when looking for employment especially when you're done with school and you're thinking its time to get there. I do most of my job searches online, and usually send my resume, application letter and stuff, you all know the process(i hope). It was a 'UNCDL' job offer as an administrative officer. They sent me interview forms and a personal history form to fill in a few weeks later which i did duly. I asked a pal of mine if he had ever heard of 'UNCDL' and when he asked where it was, my first red flag went off! I had never heard of 'UNCDL', I googled it and settled my fears.
A month later, they sent me an email confirming that they had received my email and they would get back to me....another month later, they sent me an employment offer email. Ok, sorry beautiful people, its in form of PDF, and the link won't attach! They said i would be getting USD. 138,130 paid in monthly installments.

I was so excited, hell ata getting to sleep was a problem. I didn't even care that the job offer was in Geneva. Next day though when i woke up, i was thinking...how lucky could i be? I had my doubts...plus they hadn't asked for money, said they'd cover all my expenses and i was like why not? Opportunity of a lifetime, who wouldn't jump at it? So i filled some other forms they'd sent me, something about accepting the job offer and training for three months and sent it back to them.

They sent another email telling me they would work on my travel arrangements and assist me in getting a visa but they would not pay for it. I thought small price to pay for that salary right? They sent another form i had to scan and attach a passport size photo. By now, more than three red flags had gone off...
1. Those lowlifes had mentioned not to call them ati they had too many applicants...blah!blah!
2. Not to visit the US embassy just yet until they had everything in place. Really?
3. How do you just employ someone you have never seen, no interview...nothing???
4. The first time i googled them, immediately after i sent my resume it said it was an NGO uplifting the lives of people in society. The second time i googled them months later, it said it was a scam! I think they had coned so many people.
I knew they were con-artists and was disappointed but i decided to play on, give them a taste of their own medicine. I had noticed that they barely read any of the documents i sent them, so anytime they sent me a form to fill in, I'd just write anything. I waited patiently for the day they would ask me for money, and those dorks did! Oh, all hell broke loose..."hell hath no fury like a woman scorned"
I sent them this email.....

You shitheads with brains the size of a pea! YOU chose the wrong tree to bark up. Use your brain if it exists to know that i am not stupid and i am not going to send any money to you! Next time you try to con someone, don't ask them not to call you. Two, don't ask them not to contact the US embassy, do not be so enthusiastic to welcome them to the 'UNCDL' family, do not tell them how much they are to be paid especially an overly large sum of money, and last but not least do not ask for money!
Stupid, shitless, douchebag, asswipe, dork and all other insults i can think of...
fuck you and get a life. Shame on you, i pity the one who gave birth to you, I'm sure they'd expect more from you!
And just in case you didn't know, the international police are after you lowlifes, we all know its a scam, better run for cover. Send me another email and I'm suing your smelly asses!
Payback is a BITCH! What goes around comes around, i rest my case and leave it to the most high!

I do not know who taught them to be cons because I'd do a whole lot better. And i pity those who fall for these scams and actually send these people money! Maybe, its because my history takes me back to central province and every coin has to be accounted for!
Be forewarned though, don't say you didn't know because I've told you!
Enjoy your holiday :)

No apologies...

Funny how inspiration hits us at the weirdest of times. I was on my way to work yesterday morning, stuck in traffic on Mombasa Rd. Couldn't get time to put it up though because i swamped as is usual with Mondays. Today, I'm not so busy and i thought why not?!
So yesterday i remembered this house party i had attended not so long ago and some girl had a fall out with her boyfriend and woke up the next day her eyes really swollen from crying all night. Those eye bags were big, she needed shades to hide under.
It got me thinking of where we have to draw the line....
-If he makes you cry
-If he takes up all your energy
-If he holds your hand too tight its painful
-If he is not your shoulder to cry on
-If he is an asswipe, douchebag or lowlife...excuse the lingo!
Compromise when you have to, do not be a doormat, stand your ground. I am 23 freaking years old, no way I'm changing now for anyone! I am not venting, lol, maybe i am...who cares? Do you? Didn't think so...
Do not say i love you first
Do not text or call first
Do not beg
Do not sleep with him if you're not ready
Always demand respect....
If he falls short, let him go and have no apologies! xoxo!
