{October 6, 2007}   I Love Boda Bodas

I recently joined a network called ‘I love Boda bodas’  on Face Book  then began to think of it heavily  after wards. Yeah, they are convenient and all but why would i want to associate my self with them people.

I know i can be a snob. you nod your head. But im a girl and i got to maintain my brand, how would it look if i knew boda boda men by name, worse if they knew my name. When i get onto a boda boda its like procuring any other service i guess, like going to UCHUMI. i came to the place of business to make a transaction, to exchange money for goods/services, NOT to make friends, i have friends, a lot of them are like me in that way we have things in common.  Similarly, when i sit on a boda i am carrying out a basic level transaction, ride – for – money, not small talk, in any case i can get more intelligent small talk elsewhere.  Just Shut up and ride.

Another reason not to befriend C2-D men is that they are so used to basic women that they think that as soon as you respond they can swing you over their shoulder and head to the nearest bush to shag. I guarantee you that if you strike up a conversation with these people, sex will have to feature before you alight 5 minutes later.

If you get this item cheaper anywhere else ………………..



{September 25, 2007}   It’s been a while…

… and in the time that i have been away i have been working my ass off. This month sees me reaping the benefits of my hard work with a pay rise and a couple of commissions on the way. Needless to say December will be too bling, i’m planning to go shopping in Dubai then off to the masai mara by train with a couple of tight buddies…Zanzi might feature…

Back to the present, an interesting follow up to the bitching and moaning from prior blogs, that marriage proposal came through and all i kept thinking was, your the greatest love ive ever had, you are the ultimate man, you simply ROCK,  but, i dont want to be a part of the quagmire that is your family. I felt the same way i did when i dropped out of fashion college and set up my own fashion line (which was a great success). That feeling of – i dont want to be trained or sucked into somthing that will make me loose myself. loose the Jam that is Jamrose. 

Heres to La Vida Local, keeping things as simple as they can get. Stripping myself of the burden of other peoples expectations, dumb ass promises, unnecessary monthly subscriptions and piling bills.



{July 24, 2007}   Getting it?

Men….. one day they are pouring their heart out to you….the next they are treating you like shit



Mauler calls me like at 11.30pm last night and he is all trying to get freaky on the phone, im like ewwww!

definately rethinking the knickers.

rethinking the concert too.

Eww Yucky



{July 20, 2007}   The Illusive Veil

How badly do i wish a sweet yet spunky guy was at home (or on his way home) when i get there? yearningly disturbingly (SP?)

it took me a little while and a wake up call from a friend to discover that its not a mystery for the warm body to solve but for a hubby. So i find myself contemplating picking up Brides magazine instead of Vogue on that new cool long magazine shelf inUchumi and frankly that shi% is disturbing.

How will he look, suppose i fall for a guy whos like…. short.

All this led to a series of wild-fling like dates all week and one more planned for the montel+blu*3 show tomorrow with a guy whos been inches away from maulling me all week and im a fool… not only am i going to the concert with him, im going to leave my knickers at home.

All i have to say is thank God theres no Vegas in East Africa. 

help. someones been slipping me extasy



{July 18, 2007}   Things Done Moved Onnn

She came. She left. She was quiet and intimidated. We hardly talked….. in case you wondered.



{July 1, 2007}   the far thrown Ex

hey, i guess this is going to be the best telenovela ever. My very first boyfriend is sending his wife thru UG and she gets the priviledge of hanging with the JamRose. She is touching down in this banana republic tomorow morning and i can just imagine that she will break through the arrival doors wearing her best mink, jackie O shades and engine red lipstick, all because she has heard every day since she started dating him about the marvelous Rose that i bee-zle.

yeah, as one of my buddies says ‘you are feeling “wo” these days’.

my reply: damn straight.

i’ll keep you posted.



{June 27, 2007}   be loved? and BE LOVED

I took my love and I took it down,

I climbed a mountain and I turned around

And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills

Well the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky

What is love

Can the child within my heart rise above

Can I sail thru the changing ocean tides

Can I handle the seasons of my life

Well, Ive been afraid of changing cause I built my life around you

But time makes you bolder

Children get older

Im getting older too Well…

Well, Ive been afraid of changing cause I built my life around you

But time makes you bolder

Children get older

Im getting older, too

Well Im getting older too

So, take this love and take it down

And if you climb a mountain and ya turn around

And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills

Well the landslide brought me down

And if you see my reflection in the snow-covered hills

Well maybe

Well maybe

Well maybe the landslide will bring you down

– Dixie Chicks



As the lyrics dont suggest, the deep and empty feeling inside, even when everything in your life that is supposed to make you happy is present.

do i want my cake and want to eat all the cream and cherries too, of course i do.

i want him to be at home when i get there after work late in the night/morning.

i want him to be there when i wake up.

thats all, thats fricken all.



{June 24, 2007}   Gift to self

It took me a long time to admit that i love flowers. I love roses especially. Theres one across the street that will die before someone brings it to me – so it will be a gift to self.
