KIA SOUL

I’m in love with the KIA SOUL
The edginess
The unpredictability
The almost rugged sexiness of it!
Love it!

Colony names

My partenal grandparents were called;
William Percival Brown-Orleans & Berthod Eliza Jones! Yikes.
Hahaha. I just can't stop laughing and I don't know why.
It must be NYA's 'Silly Tuesday!'

My friends have interesting thoughts about marriage!

* Chris says Mendelsohn’s Wedding March is every girl’s ‘victory song’.

* Ellis says marriage is like law school, everyone who gets in complains that it’s hard. Yet every year hundreds of people struggle to gain admission.

* Ekua says marriage should be a contract renewable every 7 years.

* Nii wonders how two people who once loved each other could write such spiteful things in divorce petitions.

* Amma says (talking of marriage) the grass is not greener on the other side, so stick on this/your side and water it till its green too.



* All these comments were made in different scenarios, at different times and mostly unprovoked! J With whom do you agree?

Pet Cemeteries in Accra

My puppy died last night
It happened as soon as I got home
I wasn’t particularly sad
I did not cry
(BTW, I bawled when my dog of 10 yrs died in 2000)
I wasn’t really attached to it
So I proceeded to dig a hole
To bury his tiny lifeless body
In the backyard
My mum said to me, “We do not bury pets at home!”
Whoa? Superstition? Tradition?
I don’t know.
So I buried him on some vacant land
I wasn’t in the mood to argue
But I wanted to prove a point
So I asked her, “Where are the pet cemeteries in Accra?”
She couldn’t tell me.
Do you know? Have you heard of this “superstition” before?

Marathon

I want to try the Accra International Marathon this year.

The full run is about 25km

Maybe I could the half marathon

Don’t know if I should use it to raise money for some cause.

Or just run for fun

But I would certainly love for my friends to come and cheer me on.

Multitasking

My boss and I were in a little debate about who can multitask better. Of course, I went for the woman, he went for the man and proceeded to say, the pinnacle of multitasking is when a man is able to:
&     1. Drive
&     2. Carry on a conversation with the wife
&     3. Check out the hot girl on the street
&     4. Not get caught (by the wife)
&     5. Not crash the car

Needless to say, he beat me hands down.

Blogging Discipline

I have no reason for not blogging for so long

I have had no exams in recent past

I’m no longer studying (well at least not in school)

I still have a million and one blogging topics that used to make my readers smile

I was just not blogging

Then toward the end of last year, my very good friend told me I have no “blogging discipline”

I think he's right (though I did not readily admit it)

So I’m gonna try

Happy New Year!


(I hope you will read and comment)
