What a difference a year can make!

Yes it was almost around this time last year when I was seated in my small office space and my friend Apex was talking about this new thing called blogging. What the heck was that? I wondered, only to be introduced to the world of blogging and bloggers plus the BHH that I have always promised myself to go to but have never found the time.

Well I tried blogging and did not even know that I would make a year doing this exercise.

What else has happened since I started blogging? I have found a new hobby. I visit many other blogs and have a great laugh when everyone else is in a foul mood at the office. Apart from that, I have managed to move from my small office space to a bigger and better one that allows me to blog when I have finished the day's tasks. Like life has not been good enough, I was enrolled to do one of the courses that I have been dying to do in life.

Otherwise, we all make new year's resolutions and I really wonder whether all the way down at the end of the year we look back and pat ourselves on the back for having met them. For those of you who do, well good for you. Meanwhile, for the rest of us who don't, its indeed high time we wake up and get going. The world is not going to stop and wait for us. Look at the hands of the clock, the only way they move is forward and do not stop(unless of course the battery is down) but it continues moving forward even after it stops. It NEVER moves backwards.

Friends lets make this year a year to move forward in our lives. Make a difference this year. Lets challenge ourselves and conquer our fears this year. All said and done I am outta here!

"Happy" New Year 2008

The new year that is meant to be a happy one has started in this way:

First and foremost, our neighbours across the borders to the East, ended the year in style: Presidential Elections. News all around the world had it as Raila leads in Kenyan presidential polls. But it so happened overnight newspapers in town splash out Kibaki swearing in!!! He was sworn in the evening hours at a terrific speed, without any foreign officials witnessing. You could actually peek a sneer on his face in the press. No wonder Uncle O and his tribes mates are very mad! Very mad indeed.

Ok, like that is not enough, we Ugandans, who have nothing to do with the Kenyan polls are faced with fuel shortage. The price of a litre of petrol shot up to 10,000/= Ugshs. from 2,400 Ugshs. The reason for this is that the fuel tankers that ferry the fuel from the coastal area to Uganda were caught up in the elections in Kenya. So why the don't our Petrol stations reserve fuel for such times? They do! It is just the Ugandan cunning thoughts of getting quick money that make us do such silly things.

Personally, I recommend everyone to buy a Bicycle. Let it be the number one priority on this year's TO DO list. A bodaboda will not do coz they too use fuel. A bicycle will only need to be pumped from time to time.

As for myself, I finally buy myself a car...then what happens three days after I drive around the neighbourhood?? Some silly drunkard bashes into it. Couldn't he tell that it was a new car?

Otherwise I wish myself and the rest of the Bloggers a HAPPY New Year indeed.
