I think it an insult to me and everyother consumer in Uganda that we get treated badly, recieve poor quality products and services in untimely fashion and generally have to beg to get some sort of recognition from service providers. This is my solution:

1. T's red alert list.
This list shall be a compilation of offenders who we shall red flag and be courteous enough to send notice of intent to boycott.No one is safe! Everyone who offends you in some sort of way shoud be on this list...Be it conductor in red shirt in taxi UAD 234G, a bar tender in Steakout, brenda the food market chick or even an usher in church! People should know to treat others as they would have themselves treated.
If u can remember actual date n time of offence that would be helpful.

2. T's worst service provider list.
Now this will be like my Razzies award list- My Worst service provider list.Please recommend the worst people be they in telecommunication,sports,media,government with specificity to department/division,business and whatever other sector exists.

3. T's award list.
In appreciation of those who have actually taken heed and have changed from their evil ways,we shall give them "Consumer appreciation Awards".

The criteria for making these lists shall be decided on at a later stage but this be my goal: Stop being pushed around by incompetent service providers when tis my money keeping them in business.

The way i see it if we start a kinda pay-it-forward list, we might actually see some change, one provider at a time!!

Hmmm...news has been passing me but tis okay coz i realise that im not the only one missing out on the KB.

Apparently one of my tites ((mbu)) wenta visiting outside countries. How did i find out? i went to his office to drop off some materials and people were looking at me like "how cld u not know????!!!"...yeah thats what happens when u think u r in the
know n u aint!

ooooo ooooo and then related to that, i missed a party. the reason, no one had my number apparently! MBU. Now, weak excuse or what? i mean, we be working on projects together, how can none of you have my number??? But that was okay, its not like i really wanted to be there. Twasnt really a party, more like project launch. The project named "Kids helping Kids", is about providing support to a group of children (secondary/High schoolkids)to help kids through various themed ideas like on the environment or processing democratic function. The best proposal was from Makerere College school so we shall see if it actually works. As a concept, its pretty neat.

Then a family friend travelled to kigali for "Gusaba" thats introduction to you. How did we find out? People were at home on totally different KB when it was let out! Now my mum is like "kyoka those people! cldnt they have atleast texted, when C was getting married...."

Now all i need to hear is i shd prepare for a niece or nephew in a few days, then i wil know for sure, i have been officially kicked out of every inner circle!!

U.R
Whats with people wanting to know the BFF? tis not like tis like the answer to all lifes problems...lol.... Joshi BFF stands for Best Friend Forever...so the BFF is my bestest friend in the whole wide interweb...i know, sooooo kindergaten! which makes it sooo cool... Iwaya, i'd like to see u guess!

U.R
Meanwhile u know how u go to the nice studio to take a nice picture and they are supposed to do a good job of showing off ur good point? Yeah...that was my idea until i saw the results...these guyz did a congolese stunt on me! im yellow..a lightie! okay, not really, just wanted to say it..lol..but really im like sooo not my actual tone, i got no blemish, how realistic is that, i ask u?

U.R
Im officially without an office. Yesterday, my office shut down. My bossish, buddish,friend person has relocated, moved onto brighter things so the fort is kinda officially somewhat in my hands. Tis sad, its the end of so much and the start of....

This morning me dad wakes me up with "T, i think the kettle was stolen!", yeah...no big,huh?

At awas, the kettle being stolen signifies the end of life as we know it..lol..okay, not true but tis a very bad bad thing. my 1st thought was "darn, hope they didnt steal the car lights, mirrors or radio as well!!!" these things of being African and parking under the sky...without the security of a agate i myt add and the deliberations of a questionable gardener...

Anyhu, turns out, one of the other housemates had placed the kettle in a secure place((behind a Tv)) so we waz all relived.

The bff amused me last evening.

D: i just dont get why ur still so shy around me. u cant look me in the eye. ur always blushing.
T: LMAO! first off, u dont even pay attention to me that much, so how wld u know?
D: heh. i know these things
T:ha!
D:just becuz i dont have an effect on women anymore dont mean i cant recognize the signs. In my day, just shooting someone a glance would cause a weakening of the knees, remember? i used to be on fire.

Now honestly, i dont think tis that im shy although interestingly enough i am at times,its more like i dont know what to do.Explaining abt me n BFF wld take like a whole other post so let me stop here.

im thinking of adopting a new style of writing...

Climate change is as much a part of our lives today as it has always been. It is just not something many people even consider as they go on day by day. It is not a dreamed up notion purported by over zealous scientists or crazed environmentalists. Every aspect of our lives, every interaction we make has an effect on climate and environment and will continue to do so unless we take positive steps to counteract negative impact.

Simply explained, Climate Change is a regional change in temperature and weather conditions. Current science indicates a change over the last century and human activity specifically the burning of fossil fuels. The term has also been used synonymously with “global warming” and “green house effect”.

The effects of climate change on Uganda have taken their toll over time. In 2006 after investigations were carried out on Mountain Rwenzori, it was reported that warmer temperatures were melting the glaciers on its picks and the snow would eventually disappear within 2 to 3 decades. The glaciers act as a major source of fresh water to kigezi and thus their loss would affect water availability. The region thus has to start preparing for this eventuality by drilling bore holes to tap under ground water and adapt irrigation systems to conserve the regions rain.

In April 2007, it was also reported that changes in rainfall patterns, increased droughts, lowering of the water table and other factors go a long way in contributing to disease increment, especially in regard to Malaria, cause unstable weather patterns that affect farming especially that of crops like coffee, cassava and Soya and so on.

This year, the Government of Uganda allowed big industries in Uganda to run diesel powered generators to boost their energy levels following the start of nation wide load-shedding. This is interesting considering that diesel is one of the most common elements through which the gases that affect the climate are emitted.

When the different climate-changing activities in which Ugandans are involved are peaked, it should be obvious that we have to effect some measures to ensure that we conserve natural resources and balance out environmental effects.

What we can do as a nation is first realise that climate change is a reality and the burden lies on each of us to deal with the results of our activities.

As a nation, we need to take the international conventions and protocols on climate change seriously and enact laws and regulations to protect our country and its resources. National resource has to be directed towards creating workable solutions to deal with these changes in climate. We need to be able to prevent natural disastrous such as droughts and have measures to ensure survival in case of natural disasters.

We cannot fully rely on only one source of energy, hydro electricity as evidence by restrictions to energy production we are suffering at the moment. We have other sources that need to be fully investigated and made effective.

Ideas without implementation are just that, ideas. We need change. We need to wake up and realise that we will be totally defenceless if we do not act now.

Meanwhile im streaming Lingala and i dont know where from!! lol Talk about totally wierd, dont peeps know lingala sends me right to sleep? true story by the way...

In other news, my calf is killing me! Ever heard of the 3:00AM sprain/muscle pull? Ever experienced it? Painfull! I sometimes think God didnt give me enough space to grow in which is why i strech and get muscle pulls unneccesarily n i do love to strech!

My cousin in the US graduated from High School yesterday. I made this comment in passing to a friend and she asked if we had graduated
My response: "EH!yes we did into college.dont u remember??thats y u had that long vac... a present of sorts lol

After reading someones blog (cant remember who exactly,4give me) about how they cld not cheat on Jack (thats Jack Daniels to you), i felt i should see what the big deal was about so i organised myself. No offence but that things like cough mixture gone crazy!! and i have tasted some pretty horrid cough mixtures in my time, like that mixture only the nurse knew about in high school..

Some African themed movie is on now basically revolving around birth of twins and how twas a taboo. She had to drown the babies..so sad. She's sad...lost her babies, her breasts are heavy and there's no babies to feed, her belly is empty and there's nothing to show...

Im beginning to think either i have grown up ((which i have always suspected anyhu)) or my friends have finally reached E.T.C (End of Thinking Capacity. On reflection of our conversations over the past weeks when we meet up, i can predict with clear accuracy what the topics under discussion will be:

1.So and so gave birth and they gave the kid a wierd name ( they have talked about this one gal for about 3 weeks straight).EH and then baby Andre said his first words today, cho chweeeet! boooa!

2.So and so got married, whats happening to u? My mother told me to tell y'al u are old! (boooooooooooaaaaa! we havent even touched late 20's! Plus u dont just get married, thats a life time commitment and responsibility, who wants that? U only live once, so u'd beta live rite, No Regrets!)

3.It is said that u r sleeping with so n so behind so and so's back. Is it true? (Now really, if u r listening to rumours instead of asking me yet we are apparently tites.....)

4.Eh! did u see so and so? She was looking cool in her mans car! Kyoka those people chose bulungi when they choose themselves! (now u, werent u paying attention when u ended up with ur man?)

5.Why cant i b like T? U do ur things secretly ( tis not my fault im an introvert and dont c the big deal with the bright lights of the city! Added to which my family isnt "rich n influential" so ffe we do our thing in our humble home. PLus most of the time, i do know what i WANT FROM LIFE..)

Yesterday, we waz reminiscing about our escapades this past Easter. Man, twas an akward weekend! My parents split,leaving the cool car behind and for some really wierd reason we had money...havock!okay,i expect u want to hear club hoping stories...lol. No, me too sober for club hoping but we ate like little piglets, me sis, her friend and me. Even gave ourselves in at Pizeria (stil have flashbacks)...normally wld grummble about having to go that far but..drunk lambroscoe like a problem, cooked pork til it tasted like chicken...ahhhh..((sigh)) those were the days!!

Went to rock nyt for the 1st time in 4ever! Sang the little heart out..that equates to abt 6 songs and off to home i went. When we waz leaving my sis was asking where the car was...these cute guyz offered us a ride since we cldnt find the car... These things of nyt..they mynt have been cute... Infact...guyz confuse u with caps..when they remove them, HORROR!

***there do exist cute guys...regardless....

Have you ever felt like the person u like doesnt have your time?? Hmm..wonder what that statement means by the way, i have heard it soooo many times but what does it mean? What does it ALLL mean?
