Can i really be me

It's funny. I always wanted to blog so i could have an outlet to reveal my inner most thoughts. The more i blog, the less honest i can be.
The more I blog, the less i can reveal what i really think about people, and situations. I'm thinking of my agendas for 2011 and i think 2011, will have the motto all or nothing. Brutal honesty or silence.
In a way it's sort of like i'd rather be silent than a hypocrite.

It's not going to be easy, but how i see it is that, practice makes perfect?

Okay then,..ready,...set,...truth!

that you do this.

I hate that you do this.
That every time he builds himself up, you tear him down.
I hate that you hold so much power over him by virtue of your position and yet you only use it to destroy.

The Bible say that all those who curse shall be cursed themselves, and it really is a damn shame if that were to happen because it really would be all on you.

I listened to her tell me all about how when she told you that you probably shouldn't speak to him like that you told her that it was none of her business.

And i worry. I worry that if you continue to batter his spirit one day it will break. And when it does, what shall i be left with?
You may think that it's a selfish way of looking at things but lets be realistic here. What happens when you can no longer bring him down because there's nothing left to bring down?
hey say
Will it make your life that much special if his life is that much worse?

Think about it.
His success is your success and his failure is yours.
Therefore we need to be building up and not tearing down the ones we claim to love simply because we have an unmistakable relation.

You're a bully, that's what you are. One who can only make themselves feel better by sitting on someone else.
But darling, you best check yourself before you wreck yourself. After all, you know what they say,.. a candle loses nothing by lighting another.

Making it work

So this week has been quite eye opening.
It started off on a very weird note, and the last two days have had me waking up to a shot of Red Label for breakfast. First because i love the smell and it's really sweet :) and plus it's whisky :)

I've spent most of my nights awake and it's set to be that kind of week next-week.
Yesterday B and Zoe met up. They had a prolonged lunch and reports have it that they had a pretty good time :)
And the reviews! Everytime one of my girls has an encounter with B i get an account of what they think. And i've gotten nothing but raev reviews :)
Not that i need them. B is a fantastic guy and he really is good to me, and i love him more everyday. His spirit is gentle and calm and he's good to me.

Still, i don't think any girl gets tired of hearing what a gem her man is especially when he's one both in public and behind closed doors :) so to speak.

Today i had a really funny encounter. This dude called Chege thought he'd suggest that i be his clande in Nai. Yani. He suggested that we could just be random lays for each other. HA!
So he asked me first if i was faithful to my boyfriend. If we were in an open relationship or if we just dogged each other. The look on his face was priceless when i told him that we're not dogging each other and that's not how we roll. He asked me for my number and well i was soooo not feeling him i told him i'd get it somehow :) before swiftly walking away.

Usually i'd find one of my gurls and tell them all about this dude and how appaled i was or whatever, but suddenly these incidents don't phase me. I simply walked away from it like i'd walk away from the loo after peeing. Do what i need to do and then leave. The urge to go pee will eventually come my way again and well, no matter how many times it comes along, it's never news.

Speaking of the literal peeing now,..I've been doing alot of that of late. I should get checked, yes?
Maybe it's from all the sugar i've been getting from B ;) hehehehe,..

later babe!

What a day!

Today i needed a pick me up. Zoe went to tea-coffee with me. It helped that i had someone to talk to.
I needed that. Someone i could be towtally honest with about how i feel about everything. I threw caution to the wind and at the risk of having all the strong things i said repeated i opened up my heart.

I told her about how frustrated i was and how scared i am. It helps to have a great friend who knows just when to listen with a smile :) *sigh*
She made her mother wait for us. Which was a big deal. She didn't complain. She was calm and very sheepishly after almost an hour told me upon my inquiry that her mother had been waiting.

I spoke to Emmu, she says that she and Ren are fasting for their brothers exams. I don't feel like doing the same thing.
Before you judge me, you must live in my shoes and have been frustrated to the point where you don't care.
Still, i'll ask for the grace to be kind and fulfill my weeks goals.

Still getting grief about my avatar and profile picture from Kiki, she says it's a bit much. maybe it is. Honestly it makes me cringe a little bit but it must be done.

Maybe i'm hoping that from this small show i shall gather enough confidence to be me and do what's good in my soul.

*sigh* we'll see.

Mama says i look like crap,..okay not in those words, but yeah that i really look tired and stressed.
She says tonight i should just go to bed and relax. Get up tommorrow and start anew!

 Point 102 in "The Way" on page 48 says
"Your mind is sluggish and wont work: you try to collect your thoughts in God's presence, but it's useless: there's a complete blank.
Don't try to force yourself, and don't worry. Look: such moments are for your heart."

I'm beat and i don't feel like being lovey with B. I have a lot on my mind and he does too. Not the same thing, different things.
I feel like right now i am living the literal meaning of "Love is a willing, not a feeling" as per the gospel of Ms. A.
That's what's love's about anyway, right?

Goodnight my sweet. One day is done. Only 6 more to go.

Love u mucho!

what a week! :)

So this past week has been a fantastic week.
And it was an equally fantastic weekend to cap it all off.

On Saturday i went to the Kenya-Uganda match at the Nyayo National Stadium!!!
That was a fantastic experience :) I enjoyed every single minute of it! The long queues the hoardes of people. *sigh* i would recommend the experience.
We walked back to town in the dark. Now that i think about it, it had great romantic potential! :) hihihihi..
oh well,.it was fun.
Emmu, Angie and i met up with a couple of friends from school after the match and had my first proper meal of the day :)
The fear of toilets kept me from using the public toilets at the stadium. Never mind that one can usually smell public toilets from far off :(

Anyhow,..so
Sunday came around and i headed out to Chess Sunday courtesy of B. That was fun, i invited Emmu since we were in her neighbourhood.
We were taught how to play chess and such.
We had a good laugh and expanded our friendship circle.

When i arrived Martyn and Shoo cam to get me, and that was interesting in itself. I had hardly driven when Shoo told me to be careful! LOL! that was funny. How bad could things get when i was driving 50mtrs away?
Anyhow so the back door, on the drivers side is squeeky so i need to remember to oil the hinges.

Where was i?
Oh yes.  Chess Sunday :)

Apparently i no longer have an identity. not that I mind much. Ms. Jb is who i become and i'm okay with that, for now :) I'll remember to tell you in case i get an epiphany and the sudden need to distance myself arises :)
The need to be recognised as an individual in my own right :) not that i'm not...arrgh. Long story.

Anyhow,..yeah,..many things,..Oh and Kelly called while i was chess and told me all about how a chimp mauled a woman and therefore i need to NEVER feed the wild monkeys again :) She really does care :)
truth is i found it kinda funny but i'm sure if i was watching it live i wouldn't.
God forgive my dark sense of humour!

I'm thinking of starting my list of 2010 blessings afresh. Which is kinda cool :)

In preparation of the photo gallery.

This mix cd business is starting to drive me crazy and kinda depress me :(
oh well,..maybe i'll take Iks advice and do something different :)
This was supposed to be fun!!

I feel like the visitors on the red bus are on their way even though i'm sure they just left! But the signs on my face tell a different tale.

Oh well,..

*sigh* Lord HELP ME through this week. I don't have the strength to do this alone. Please.

After all You did promise to see me through and always be there to listen and willing to help.
The shortest distance is after all between my knees and the floor.

Oh and this week i sent out blessings for the week. I didn't send them all though.

Just to B, because i have a feeling we'll need it this week and Emmu because she seemed a little out of it.

Resolution for the week.
To be a great friend. The kind of friend and "girlfriend" and daughter and sister i need.
Do unto others,..

I can hear the chimes in the garden as the breeze sweeps quickly through them and the sun is oout and beautiful.
I'm off to practise some breathing exercises :)
*joy*

Later sweetie,

Love,
        Cinna.

...nothing much to say,..

The air smells fresher,.
The sun is brighter,..
The smile is wider,..
The heart beats calmer,..
The skin is clearer,..
The eyes are brighter,..
The touch softer,..
The kiss deeper and sweeter,..
The beats louder,..
stronger,..

The joy greater,..
The pain greater when i have to pull away.

If i could, i would be by his side every minute of everyday.
Wake up every morning next to him and go to bed in his arms every night.

If i could,
I'd bring him breakfast in bed, just so he wouldn't have to move and i could keep him with me longer.

If i could,
I'd let him kiss me for all the minutes in the world he desires :)

If i could,..
I'd lie on his chest and listen to and feel is heart beat,.as fast as it always does when he's around me :)
#vanity :)

*sigh*
if i could :)

Starry eyed girl :)

This week i've had a spring in my step,..heart in my laughter,..joy in my eyes,.. and a glow i've heard :)

Not that i disagree,.:)

Every morning i'm glad that i wake up with B on my mind and i have someone to thank God for in that regard.

This was dare week.
Basically, because we have such varied timetables, we had to meet everyday this week.
Needless to say we didn't do to badly,..twice in 4 days :)
That's more than it usually is :)

Today we were supposed to double. With L and Al. We need couple friends. Not really, but i think it would be cool to have a couple to hang out with occasionally.
And i knew when i found all that conspiracy material on Al's laptop that we had found them:)
And then this morning,..actually just now,..it occured to me that both B and Al's dad's work n the same capacity in different parts of the country though.

Sooo,..anyhow,...Al's dad showed and Al is consequently disposed for the afternoon.
L is sad about it.
She was looking forward to this. but she says we should go ice-skating next week.
I'll float that idea to B and see what he thinks?
I think the shooting range would be MUCH cooler but then again,..that's just me :)

Oh yeah,..i've lost direction-ish.

So,..where was i?
Talking about B!
B is such a sweetie, yesterday he suprised me,..and no i was not expecting it :)
He came to school and brought me cake :)
More like he brought "water" and cake :)

We had fun.
I had fun.
Of late all i want to do is spend all my time with him.

He's so very thoughtful and sweet,..*sigh*
I'm not finishing my thoughts, am i?

I'm falling in love.
I know you're probably wondering huh?

I say i'm falling in love because, even though i love B, and when we hooked up we were on a high from the funeral,..(and yes i know how that sounds!)
it never really settled.
But now,..it's settled and comfortable.
Not comfortable in a boring kind of way,..but in a my heart longs for him all the time kind of way :)

It's not really a scary place to be because I've never been the type to be afraid to fall deeply and with all my heart, to give myself towtally to something.
I thought it would be scarier. Especially because i do over-think things sometimes,..

ANyway,...FAST FOWARD to now.
I'm falling in love and it feels great!

I love the tingle in my feet.
The butterflies in my stomach.
The constant smile and now that the dimples are here mostly permanently :)

*joy*

How they are

I'm not very good at picking titles. No actually i am! (positive thinking :)

This is basically about how things are.
So,.now,..what was i saying,..oh yes.
And did i mention that i have the short term memory of a,..(AGAIN! POSITIVE THJINKING!)
You attract what you think!

So i've got about 20 minutes before i head to the library to study for about an hour and fill in some notes then head to class.
Today i was late because among other things i let Koco out.
What a fool i was to think that that dog has a single shred of decency!
Leason learnt: In the quest to give your child or pet confidence and freedom, do not forget that the most important ingredient is discipline!
I laid off teaching Koco strict discipline in a bid to get him to make his own decisions that i hoped i would be happy with?
HA! Tough luck.
Turns out, he doesn't know what i want because i never instilled the discipline in him early enough!
Anyhow,.. so i've learnt that i must be strict disciplinarian with young ones so that they may learn to be respectful and conform to the norms of decency, not just be confident!

Anyhow, in my depression, also because my mother today told me that the jacket i want is too expencive and she'd rather i found something else that i love, i sat in the kitchen talking to Annie the whole morning.

Annie is our househelp who most times cannot her when you call her, sleep walks like a drunkard, has decided that the staple food for this household is Ugali and nothing but ugali so help her God.

She always has such weird but interesting stories and today's morning session was as full of comic relief as they always are.

Anyhow, by the time i checked the time on the alarm monitor in the kitchen, it was already 8.20am and i was going to be inevitably late for my 9am lecture on property law.

Fast forward to about 11.50am when the lecturer sought to relieve us from our agony and release us for the day. To be continued tommorrow.

Anyhow,..i'm thinking that should I find out how this pages thing works,..and i have seen it here too, lets just hope it doesn't also confuse me,.i should do one on the "Chronicles of Class Rep"...that should be interesting.

Lately it seems i'm always busy.
It's strange that i'm all of a sudden not too busy to make the effort to blog :)
I'm cultivating a habit. After all, you know what they say,..all great people keep a journal. And well,..i plan to be great so i shall keep my blog which is sort of a diary for my thoughts,..yes?

Oh well,..
it's now 12.41, and i have 4 minutes to post this and head to the library,..

so,..i'll sign off...

Ciao Bella!
Adios muchachos! (WTF! does that mean anyway???)
You'd thik i'd know seeing as i have a 1st class pass in my Spanish level 1 right? wrong!

oh and yesterday i spent the day with my beau! Okay like an hour,..but it was sooooooo worth it!
I really do miss him, most minutes of everyday!
but i promised to keep focused on my books so,..i really should get going!
I promise to blog all about that later?:)

Later babe!

Monkey Business :)

So,..i didnt mean it literally...
i'm not even really sure what monkey business means!!
This is a recent photo taken at Kellys house. It was taken by my Nokia E-series (but do i say).
I fed this monkey the banana in the car i drive( i refrain from calling it my car) :)
Kelly was so irritated :) but i wanted to see it closer :)

So,.. this post had a direction,.hmm,.. gawsh. Okay. I forget.
I might as well publish this anyway especially because my drafts are starting to out number my actual posts!

Have a monkey business free day!! :*
xoxo

Lecture

So today, as i sat through my Evidence 2 lecture, to which the lecturer was late, (fifteen minutes and his office called to excuse him! Some people can be sooo courteous!), where was i?
Oh yes.
I sat in that lecture and i had quite a few thought run through my mind.
If i wasn't in Law school and had the opportunity to do anything in the entire world, what would it be?

That brings me to my tragedy.
I'd rather be in law school 600 times over.
This is what i was put here on this earth to do!
To influence systems and policy by learning the ins and outs of the legal profession.


Which brings me to my point.
i'm putting less than enough effort into my school work and yet this is my calling.
My divine purpose.


There's nothing else i'm quite as sure of other than my calling to be an officer of the law.


So back to my evidence lecture.
Here was this learned gentleman emphasizing the importance of Character evidence.
If you question the character of the plaintiff or complainant as the accused you open up your character to scrutiny.
And well, because character is who a person is, one can adduce evidence to prove that you're of bad character by adducing evidence of any character flaw.
Simple. Yes?
Wait until you see the questions!


Anyway... i'm now resolved to put more effort in my school work.
Today is 1st October. Exams begin on the 25th of this month.
All the effort i put in MUST pay off.


No longer lukewarm, but brilliant.
No longer okay, with okay grades.
If i put in my all, i shall surely be rewarded.


How appropriate is this new resolution with the month of the Holy Rosary?


If God is for us, who can be against us?


Yours hopefully,
                        Cinnamon :)

Consistency :)

The trick to writing is consistency.
Not that you should write everyday but that you write often :)
I'm glad i still have lots of steam left over from yesterday so i can still say stuff :)

Today i'm meeting Kiki.
I'm excited because she's so chilled out.
She's that friend that loves to laugh and stuff and always look at the bright side of life :)
I've been very blessed in that regard because Kelly is just like that.
it really does maze me that her first instinct when i tell her about something that's bugging me is to laugh at me.

But I'm grateful that i have someone to laugh for me when i feel that i can't :)

So,.. today we have a few things to consider doing.
Kiki has been working during her holiday and yesterday was her last day at work so this is her starting her brief holiday before school opens.

we have a few options for the day,..but high on the list is The Nairobi Show :)
yes. I really want to go.
I've never been,..okay that i can remember and who better than Kiki who's always up for anything to go with?
I really have missed this BFF of mine!
oh well,..
Class begins in about 2 minutes and Mr. Mbobu is NEVER late!


Ttyl sweetie!
Mwah!
