i was not going to comment on YOU ASKED. AND LIKE A HUMBLE SERVANT I DELIVERED but... so the drama!!! ((thats all im saying))

I just think that in society/community there are people u will get and there will be people who do not get you. same applies to blogging..yes cheri, i do agree with u.

****
As a result of my last post...people been asking me if i am that old. LOL...first i have no idea what that old is... but i dont think i am... and no Joshi, i am not a campuser.

I am in need of a new pancake house..anyone know?? any one??? this week, i go with me friends to have the breakfast combo at boldwins ((used to be my fav. spot, then i dont know what happened..even my good memories are beginning to loose their luster). so anyhu..after we r done with the meal, the bill comes and its about 5k above wat we had calculated so we asked y... this is how the conversation went.

Us: excuse us, according to your menu and wat we ordered for, we should be billed 19k. How come there's this difference?
Waitress: Nanti, you ordered things and we gave you what you ordered for.
Us: yes and according to this, we are right. PLus, this isnt the first time we are odering this, so why the change?
Waitress: Nanti when u ordered we gave u the big coffee instead of the small one so that is how your bill gets to be so much.
Us: Madam, we do not know what happens in your kitchen. We do not know what size of cups to expect...we are not the ones who measure out the coffee beans, milk and sugar. how can u make us pay for your mistake.

There u have it, Ugandan service at its best, and then u say we are ready for CHOGM. ((by the way, im one of those who cannnot for the life of me pronounce that word, i have thus resorted to reffering to the event as that commonwealthy thingy))

ooo, by the way, we didnt pay...used the old manager to sort it out...so now we need a new place to go.

i am grandy sitting!! im slowly going mad!!! first of all i think they think i am the most unfocussed grand kid ever. i do not feel shy walking around in my jammies until about 11.30 n this must freak them out. then i rush around like a headless chicken tryna get lunch ready before my mum gets home...added to which i put in very to no effort to speak ruyankole. Dont get me wrong, i do understand what they are saying, i just do not feel like having long windy conversations.

They ask for things and i have retorts ready in my head. this afternoon the grandaddy says... "tea". kati, how am i supposed to discipher that you would like to have tea brought to you and your wife from that one word? i actually felt like asking him what was wrong with "tea".but being the good christian that i am...i hooked him up but good!

Now this be a moral type qn.
Would you spend close to 15mln on a knee operation (knee replacement) for your 80 year old grandmother?

Yesterday i was chilling with my gals and was wondering to myself if i would actually go all gaga about a guy and introduce them to him. OKay, im sure i would eventually but really... i dont see myself going for public displays and wanting people to know him and be all over him...prolly stalk the poor brother, freak him out and such....

This is how you know you are growing old....

1. You share a story with your cousin and she assures you that you were not on campus at the same time and all this time you thought you were...

2.Your younger siblings drop YOU off at midnight.

Man, i was in shock! i was sure i was going to pick up the kiddies to return to our humble home but waaaa. the kiddies dropped me off! still getting over it...

3. U start singing traditional songs and "ella ella ella" in the same breath.

4.U go to a party and have no problem standing idly by and dance very stiffly coz man, thats all u can be bothered to do.

5. U like to hang out with campusers coz their dreams r still so young and soooo unattainable,they put a smile on your face.


MMMMeeeeanwhile, i laughed my self silly last night. Apparently my grand mum and my cousin have exactly the same handbag, lol. SO i was mercilessly teasing my cousin coz man, there's like an over 55 year gap between them!
I'd first said that shows just the variety we have in UG but my sis assures me that the wierd part is the two would even pick the same bag!


Then, this morning i was thinking...if u want to call off ur wedding about 4 weeks into wedding meetings, do u return the money??? wat do u do?? anyone know????

Gosh,i so hate it when u call someone to ask for YOUR property and they act like you are soo bothering them!

I mean, i leant u the thingy in good faith and for all of that,u get ticked off and act like im bothering u????

meeeeeaaaannnwhile, in my present colors twld not be a problem identifying me in a line up. im wearing pink capri's (different shades of pink with splashes of white), an orange "Gulu Walk" Tee and a light blue jacket ((one of those most prolly found on relief workers in IDP camps)). Yeah, thats fashion 4 ya.

My recent hang out boo made me believe i should do something out of the norm so i went along with the plan. I got blazed..like seriously! I was out for the count, today was lousy. I dont know how people do this everyday!!

My resolution: No alcohol for me. Fanta still rules!!!

****
Got stood up and everywhere i look theres a couple soo excited to be with each other.Gosh!

****
i think i myt be acquring a new friend. I met this guy through work..okay he called me up looking for me to spend on some program and i didnt. that was about 6 months ago. Occassionally he remembers me, calls me up to say hi,u know, treat ur clients well and all that stuff.

He calls today and we yap like long lost relatives so we set a date to "get to know each other". will see how that goes.

Told BFF about it and wldnt u know it, he starts talking about how when u meet some one virtually and they are interesting, it does not naturally translate into them being interesting in person. Apparently us chicks get it wrong....lol

I agree with that (the interesting bit thing not the chick thing), i shd know, i chat a lot and usually u can tell if u wil click with someone in person or u wont.

This discussion led to the Ladder theory. In short, it stipulates that guys and chicks cannot be friends. they can be if
1.the guy is gay
2.the guy does not find you attractive
3.the guy already has some one much higher than you on the ladder.

Interesting,no?

Had some baaaaad pork tonight. Decided to choose the easy route, get it already spiced..yeah, NOT A GOOD IDEA!! Uchumi's isnt soo bad. If u like spiice..bad baaad spice, get Shoprites. so not cool. we went on a voluntary hunger strike..lol

Nga doesnt the daddy get inspired to attend Energy manya awareness week ((about two weeks ago at National theatre)) and as a result he bought and has installed energy savers. meanwhile i think these Energy saver distribution people have it in for us..i have heard that they come to your house ((for those of us too lazy to turn up at distribution points)) and in exchange for normal/ordinary light bulbs, they hook u up. Yeah, havent seen them...

But anyhu the daddy changed my light...all im saying is that thing SAVES energy!!im doing dinghy dim at the moment...

My cousin got a cold...i have thus started her on Kabuuti ((grins)).

I have recently started watching and finally started finding commedy funny...most of the time i was like...okay..funny..hmmm. But recently, the jokes just keep coming.. Ofcos i have realised that commedians either redo their material or i just keep watching the same things, lol..that myt be it. Lenny Henry ((thats the guy in the Chef, head Chef i.e))is the guy of the momment especially if u like british commedy followed by Dave Chappelle. Tried chris rock, seemsi watched the not so funny season but all im saying is i will never look at lil Jon the same way...EVER!

it has become my fear of the month that i will start swearing as a result of the things i have been watching.. i guess Huey ((the boondocks) actually had a point..

New phrase of the month...
Remembered my kenyan friends telling me this one...BUT DO I...its one of those things of....
BFF told us of how he went to Kalangala and walked on the white sandy beaches..but do i tell u abt the time i went to Hawaii and sipped on pinacollada's and even went down to Florida to see the dolphins...No i dont!

George W Bush quotes, Bush Blunders, Bush Gaffes

Yes, believe it or not, these are all genuine quotes from the man the people elected as the 43rd US President:

Families is where our nation finds hope, where wings take dream.

I admit it, I am not one of the great linguists.

For every fatal shooting, there were roughly three non-fatal shootings. And, folks, this is unacceptable in America. It's just unacceptable. And we're going to do something about it.

I am a person who recognizes the fallacy of humans.

I have opinions of my own, strong opinions, but I don't always agree with them.

I know the human being and fish can coexist peacefully.

I know how hard it is to put food on your family.

I know what I believe. I will continue to articulate what I believe and what I believe - I believe what I believe is right.

I promise you I will listen to what has been said here, even though I wasn't here.

I recently met with the finance minister of the Palestinian Authority, was very impressed by his grasp of finances.

I think anybody who doesn't think I'm smart enough to handle the job is underestimating.

I think war is a dangerous place.

I understand small business growth. I was one.

I wish I wasn't the war president. Who in the heck wants to be a war president? I don't.

I'm not a very good novelist. But it'd make a pretty interesting novel.

If the terriers and bariffs are torn down, this economy will grow.

If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier - so long as I'm the dictator.

I'm also not very analytical. You know I don't spend a lot of time thinking about myself, about why I do things.

I'm the master of low expectations.

I'm the commander - see, I don't need to explain - I do not need to explain why I say things. That's the interesting thing about being President.

It would be a mistake for the United States Senate to allow any kind of human cloning to come out of that chamber.

Rarely is the question asked: Is our children learning?

Our enemies are innovative and resourceful, and so are we. They never stop thinking about new ways to harm our country and our people and neither do we.

The problem with the French is that they don't have a word for entrepreneur.

There's an old saying in Tennessee, I know it's in Texas, probably Tennessee, that says 'Fool me once [pause], shame on…shame on you. [Long pause] Fool me. [Pause] You can't get fooled again.'

They have miscalculated me as a leader.

They misunderestimated me.

This foreign policy stuff is a little frustrating.

We cannot let terrorists and rogue nations hold this nation hostile or hold our allies hostile.

We need an energy bill that encourages consumption.

We ought to make the pie higher.

We're concerned about AIDS inside our White House - make no mistake about it.

Will the highways on the Internet become more few?

Do you have blacks, too? (To Brazilian President Fernando Cardoso)

When I was young and irresponsible, I was young and irresponsible.

You're free. And freedom is beautiful. And, you know, it'll take time to restore chaos and order - order out of chaos. But we will.

This is still a dangerous world. It's a world of madmen and uncertainty and potential mential losses.

I think there is a Trojan horse lurking in the weeds trying to pull a fast one on the American people.

This is a world that is much more uncertain than the past. In the past we were certain, we were certain it was us versus the Russians in the past. We were certain, and therefore we had huge nuclear arsenals aimed at each other to keep the peace. That's what we were certain of…You see, even though it's an uncertain world, we're certain of some things.

It is clear our nation is reliant upon big foreign oil. More and more of our imports come from overseas.

I think we agree, the past is over.

And there's no doubt in my mind, not one doubt in my mind, that we will fail.

The important question is, how many hands have I shaked.

General…I can't name the general.(When asked to name President of Pakistan)

We spent a lot of time talking about Africa, as we should. Africa is a nation that suffers from incredible disease.

The war on terror involves Saddam Hussein because of the nature of Saddam Hussein, the history of Saddam Hussein, and his willingness to terrorize himself.

When I was a kid I remember that they used to put out there in the Old West a wanted poster. It said, Wanted: Dead or Alive.

My answer is to bring them on. (On Iraqi militants attacking US forces)

Major combat operations in Iraq have ended. In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed. -- May 1, 2003

I was talking to a friend the other day and he told me this story about some social((sosh...yeah, we were going waaaaaaaay back)).

Presenting, the cool geeky guy who has been looking forward to this opportunity to chat and dance with this cool gal from THAT school and the girl who has no illusions about what the geeky boy is really up to.

B: Hi
G: Hi
B: Would u like to dance

((( after a few minutes of silence))).....

G: Sure maybe after the song has changed. I would like to tell you about a friend of mine ((reaches out to hold his hand))

He figures, what the heck, as long as we get to dance, she can hold me hand...

G: This friend of mine is called Jesus.

He frantically tries to pull his hand away but this preacher aint letting go of nothing!!
