The Leibster Award

I’ve said on here how funny my BFF is right? She has a way of cracking me up everytime. The other day I put up a photo of myself on my status. Hiyo siku nilikuwa nimedecide kuwatisha kuwatisha. Kuwakunywa wote.(You’ve got to love how we speak as Kenyans) I was in an official-ish dress and maroon chunky heels. She, my bff, messaged me and told me that I looked nice and grown up 😁. I asked her if by grown up she meant tall and she said no. She meant that I looked like I had responsibilities.Wow! Another time we were speaking and she told me that her dad had accompanied her to the hospital. Sasa after she was treated, it was time to go get the meds at the pharmacy. The pharmacist was a guy(this info is important). So she took her meds and they were off with her dad. They decided to stop at a hotel to have lunch because food is of importance. When they sat down, the dad decided to look at the meds my BFF had been given and alas! He found a piece of paper in the package containing the meds. And what was on this piece of paper? Drum rolls. The pharmacist’s phone number. 😂😂. My BFF’s dad took the paper and tore it into a million tiny pieces. The whole time this was happening my BFF was playing blind. Alikuwa kipofu. Very busy on her food. I’m still laughing even as I write this. The levels people go!

Glad’s Questions for me

What do you love most about life?

The thing I love most about life is that you can make whatever you want out of it. It doesn’t matter what your circumstances are, you can make your life beautiful, if you want to.

If you’d eat one meal for the rest of your life. What would it be?

Rice. I love rice so much. Give it to me all white. Add some turmeric to it to give it some colour. Or pilau. I can eat rice every day for the rest of my life. And oh, I fall in the category of people that put tomato sauce in their rice.

What inspired you to start your blog?

I think a lot. I know we all think but I think about a lot of things. I was looking for a platform to share my thoughts with the world.

11 Facts About me

1. I get pretty nervous sometimes. Especially standing in front of crowds. I don’t like crowds. Whenever I sing or speak to crowds, I get so nervous. I always prefer a mic with a stand because I get so nervous and when that happens, my hands shake and I can’t hold the mic.
2. I love kids. I think I’d want to work with kids part time. Just being silly makes me happy. The fact that I am an aunt to five nephews contributes a lot towards that.
3. I am really short and I love it. I’m 4’11. Someone once saw me for the first time and they exclaimed “oh my gosh you are so tiny!”
4. I’m super instinctive
5. I love to sing
6. I love to cook and try out new recipes. I bake both for leisure and commercially sometimes.
7. I don’t do so well at forcing conversations. Here’s what I mean, if we don’t ‘click’ or have common ground, I won’t keep making conversations
8. I think people who are loud in the morning are rude. I enjoy my quiet in the morning. When I wake up, I stay in bed for around 30 minutes to an hour just enjoying my quiet time. And doing my daily prayer and affirmations.

Whoosh! Eleven is a big number when you’re sharing facts about yourself. Si mtosheke na hizo nane tafadhali?

PS: The person who made mountain climbers was not a nice person. Also, if you think a minute is a short time, try holding a plank for one minute and you’ll realise that a minute can be a long long time, full of agony and panting.

You might be wondering what is going on with the featured image. Those are croissants. We made them with my lovely sis and I was so excited that they came out so well despite the fact that it was the first time making them. You can find the recipe Here
