SINGLY SINGLE…

Posted in Keeping It Real, Relationships by cyiengi on January 5, 2024

Sometimes it sucks! Being single again. Looking for whom to hang out with.
Finding a new crowd and fitting in. Some are too old for my nocturnal
activities. Selectively picking topics of discussion, so no one gets offended
when exes start getting bashed. Picking and dropping the kids off to those exes
for visits. Avoiding eye contact when the new man with me meets the ‘old’ man
who I left. “Ever get the feeling you are settling?” my-ride-or-die chick
friend, enquires. “Who, me? After the nit-picking I’ve been through? Why would
I? It has had… Continue reading →

MY RELATIONSHIP WITH MY FATHER (PART 1)

Posted in Keeping It Real, Relationships by cyiengi on November 22, 2023

Our father-daughter relationship is an eternal bond. This will make or break her
future escapades. I can still hear his cultured, controlled voice speaking of
all things Art, Music, Architecture, Cuisine…and Fashion. That’s how well
rounded his knowledge base was. He seemed to know everything there was to know
about these artistic expressions. Little girls just have this thing, unspoken,
between them and their daddies. He knows her. He understands her. When she is
moody or twisting him round her little finger, more often than not, she tends to
get her way. Hahaha. It’s a… Continue reading →

PAST-TIMES AT A CITY HOTEL

Posted in Keeping It Real, Relationships by cyiengi on November 20, 2023

Today I found myself smiling at a young lady over at the reception of a hotel.
Trying ever so hard to hook up with new guests checking in. And from her
efforts, you could tell she was specifically intent on the ‘white, mzungu
chaps’. She quietly admitted to her fellow receptionist that she knew they had
to have the ‘mullaz’ – (money) to help her take care of her lifestyle. After
all, she wanted the finer things in life! I don’t know how she thought she would
succeed. Looking at their appearances. Pooh-ing this one… Continue reading →

GETTING OVER AN EX…

Posted in Relationships by tugogiweche on June 22, 2023

This past year was a miracle! A miracle in learning how to get over an ex…making
new friends, learning that some of the ‘old’ ones were in it just for kicks,
finding myself again…loving whom I’ve become/Am becoming. Being kind and gentle
to myself. Finding new hobbies, hanging out in new places. Setting out to
consciously conquer my hitherto hidden fears. Feeling the gut-wrenching moments
when reality checks in, and letting myself feel every raw emotion; yet not
getting swallowed up in the moment. Accepting what is, and moving it forward. My
family and friends… Continue reading →

WHO ARE YOU? REALLY

Posted in Keeping It Real by cyiengi on March 5, 2018

This is who I’ve become. An introspective adult. Sometimes I hide behind a
facade. I’m happy. No, am sad. Wait, could I be both? Who and what defines me?
My work, love life, career, children, background, friends, financial success? I
found myself asking this question in my late thirties because there is so much
changing and ‘morphing’ we put ourselves through…sometimes to fit in. Sometimes
from love, fear or retaliation. But whom are we loving or hating on? What is it
about me that I simply accept and just love? Why must I hate any… Continue

SCARY CHANGES

Posted in Keeping It Real by cyiengi on January 9, 2018

New phases in life are…scary…interesting…exciting. It all depends on where you
are coming from. Hannah, my dear friend, is just starting a new-ish phase in
many ways and wonders sometimes if she will hack it. Separated, new job, new
town, a kid on the way…she collapses in a heap on my shoulder. “Why don’t they
stay? Why do I keep looking for love in intimate entanglements that get me
nowhere? How will I feed this young ‘un with no ‘second hand’ to feed him/her?”
she wailed, dramatically. She has been posted to Kakamega to open a… Continue

WHAT IS THE FORMULA OF SUCCESS?

Posted in Pic Speak by Kayya on April 21, 2015

You lie awake doing the math and everything adds up to wealth and fortune. After
all, numbers don’t lie. Counting the numbers imagining what you could do with
all that money. Love sure breaks hearts but businesses break even more hearts!
Raised expectations followed by massive disappointments in many cases. Massive
debts, unreliable people, disappointing numbers, tested passions and broken
dreams. It helps to be positive but it saves a whole lot more to be realistic.
In the calculations, do you account for the fact that not everything goes
according to plan? There is a… Continue reading →

EVERYONE HAS THEIR KRYPTONITE

Posted in Pic Speak, Relationships by Kayya on April 13, 2015

Everyone has their kryptonite. That one person that never fades into oblivion.
They remain a constant in your ever-changing life. So many come and go in your
life, most of whom have no effect on your life. This one person can ask for you
back and you will drop everything for them. Irrational love, irrational
attraction – a force to reckon with. Doesn’t know how to love you, how to treat
you, but for some mad reason, all of you remains stuck in memories and images of
you and them. You replay the good and… Continue reading →

THINGS GOOGLE DID NOT TEACH ME ABOUT MOTHERHOOD

Posted in Love Chronicles by Faith on April 9, 2015

I hate to admit it but I am sort of a know-it-all. Actually I am a know-it-all.
I do not know the roots of this attitude exactly but I certainly know that it
worked out terribly for me as a new mother. Instead of asking veteran mothers
questions, I Googled and Googled. I read all the “How to” motherhood books I
could lay my hands on and YouTubed “little” things like breastfeeding, changing
baby diapers and washing baby. I remember a mummy friend suggesting to me to go
for classes on motherhood at one of… Continue reading →

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN I WAS SINGLE? – PART 2

Posted in Lawrence's Take, Relationships by lawrence on November 6, 2014

Thursday, 27th June 2014. A dreary day that had been made even drearier by the
thought of sitting in a boardroom for a whole friggin day as different vendors
walked in to pitch their Customer Relationship Software solutions. Have you ever
listened to a proper Indian with a proper Indian accent do a two hour
presentation? I listened to four. That’s 8 hours of not understanding half the
stuff the presenters were saying. Let’s just say, for now I have postponed any
trips to India, indefinitely. I had reached that ‘shoot-me-now’ point when the
last… Continue reading →
