1. Does life style and responsibility determine how you use your more and if so,which one out weights the other.

Your personality depicts your lifestyle and therefore your attitude towards responsibility and your response to it. So they balance out each other.


2. How do i make money?

Good question. There's really the conventional ways of making money which is either you following the norm or traditional means or you coming up with an idea to make money for you.

3.It really isnt about the money, is it?

The only people who can afford to say that are people who have the money or are secure enough to know they can walk out of their jobs and usual life routines and survive and for you to get to that stage, you need to be mature enough and understanding of the dynamics of life.

4.Is it important to save?

Yes.

5.Any simple ways to do that?

Start small. Almost everyone is familia with the piggy bank idea. Even Redman (rap artist) had a dollar box over his fridge (saw this on cribs one time). the idea was everytime he came into the house, he emptied his loose change into this box and this box ended up paying for small bills over time.

Same thing. Open up a coin bank or something. You can give it your own special name. be creative. Drop a few shillings into it every so often (whatever u can) after a while you will note that you have saved quite a bit.

When you are able to save bigger amounts either go the safe route and open up an account in a bank or invest it so it earns for you.

6.I got these ideas but no clear one, what should i do?

Write them down. Go back, review. You never know when "THE IDEA" will hit.

7. it always seems like im having jumbled ideas. it that a good thing?

Fact is you are thinking of bettering where you are in life. Thats always a good thing. Dont settle. Innovate.

8.Is there a quick way to get rich?

Sure. Just remember, everything goes full circle.

9. Life is too short to work all the time. What should i do?

Well set your goals and achieve them. Determine where you will be in 10 years for example, and work backwards.

10.Did anything from all those bumper stickers, motivational tips hype stick with you?

Yes. Find out the why and the how will be easy.

Ugandan television will neeeeeeeeeeever cease to amuse me. So there i was minding my own bizniz when i chanced upon my favourite pass time, music videos and adverts. Todays top contenders were:

1. Kampala warriors. Dont know if thats the name of the song, apparently these guyz could not be bothered to title the song or make known their name. As per usual, the group was garbed in ganster style caps, baggy shirts and jeans and ofcos customary blingage.
what made these guyz interesting to watch was the fact that they were splashing dollars about. PLease note that this was a cheap video (characterized by white back ground and use of only one camera) done in luganda.

So i was wondering what the dollars signified. Perhaps shillings would have been more appropriate???

2.Kevin Lyttle advertisement. In usual Ugandan style kevin lyttle is being proclaimed "THE EVENT" of the year, although i hear Brick and Lace will be around as well.. err.how many Ugandans have heard their complete album??

Back to lyttle, guy looks like he could be an accountant somewhere. Ugandan muscians might consider picking a leaf. You dont have to have over grown hair, "smoke ganja", wear sun glasses at night, wear winter clothes and speak incoherently all the time to be recognised as a singer.

which brings me to:
Music presenter on Record Television. I know a show really rides on the presenter, what i dont get is how we let some people become "presenters". I would also suggest a time limit be set on how long the presenter is allowed to talk coz really anything past 1 minutes ends up being giberish as they constantly loose themselves, get the sponsors message wrong and generally show off how little they know about the topic being discussed. You'd think that as they choose the topic, they would prepare enough to carry them through..but nooo seems thats a lot of work.

Now, as if it wasnt enough that this presenter just kept digging his own grave (yeah, he passed the six feet mark some time eaaaaaaarly in the show when i wasnt even watching), he commited the ultimate sin. take a look see and u will see what i mean.



is that his babe's thingy? daughters spagety top thing? someone suggested it was a manly vest...dunnno..

You met Jordan through one of your friends. You wondered why Prissy had never said he was such a niiice boi, u catch his eye once or twice and you wonder why he is looking at you a tad too intensely. You worry that you got spinach on your otherwise pearly whites or maybe your hair is standing (it tends to do that all by itself) or maybe you aint laughing right. (you remember some movie where a lady was killed because she had an unappealing laugh and you shudder a bit).

You leave the party and end up exchanging numbers with Jordan, general hap style. You think nuthing about it, he's prolly crushing on your sweet friend Prissy and out of courtesy took yours.

He texts, calls you up and you think "fun, fun" and within 4 weeks you have moved from just friends to inseparable. He tells the most interesting stories, has the insight to make sound business decisions,is sensitive when you need him to be and he seems to get on with most people. Jordan is it.

Then comes the tricky part. You find out he is catholic which in itself is not a bad thing. If you came from a different religious background, maybe it would work, but you do not and it would never work.

You try to explain it to Jordan.You were brought up not be "equaly yoked with a non believer", everyone expects you to end up with a saved person..a christian..someone who is "Christ like" in their values, beliefs and orientations. Catholics are a bit more liberal in "indulging in the ways of the world", they can drink, smoke, prolly have sex outside the marriage bed, have civil marriages, pray through Mary, go to confession and generally make merry.

You cannot. You believe in finding the right person to get married to and thus you believe in courtship not just dating (yes, there's a difference). You believe in abstinance, faithfullness, undefilement of your body,tiething,marriage before God and man. You want your children to believe and understand the same values, you have seen soo many "lost" people in the world.

You want to flaunt these beliefs in the name of love but you cant let go of things u have learnt right from the craddle, especially when your family is always checking up on your spiritual growth, you attend cell and fellowship faithfully and the pastor knows you by name.

Its not easy to let go of things you believe in and you also know those basic differences between you and jordan would limit your relationship.

On the one hand, there's the love and on the other hand, there's the religion and belief system. Watado?

For all my otherwise suspicious friends, the dentist came clean today.

Noooo...he did not confess that he kept finding faults with my teeth so we could hang and no he did not confess his undying love and devotion to me.

Apparently dude wants an introduction to the daddy. I was like "kale all these months! why werent you straight? woulda hooked u up loooooong ago!!!!" but no, dude wanted us to hang.

One of my suspicious friends had suggested that he prolly wanted something to happen between us. Kept telling her she needed to see the dentist, then she would know that would neeeeeeeeyvah work in adddition to which, dude goes to that church that serious christian marriage oriented brothers go to. when dude has said "you be the one", he dont waste time..forget the moon walk, all you will be doing is the aisle in peeeeeeeeerty white. YIKES!

Apparently your establishment is one of the best fast food places in kampala. I beg to differ.

I have often defended your mediocre service claiming that you made up for it by being so close to the road and so you are easily accessible. But no more shall i suffer in silence, i refuse to be treated like "just one of those people"...

This person has contributed to your sustainability over the years, infact i should get an award with my name on it but nooo apparently im not that important.

I made an order today for coffee and a cheese crossiant. Not hard to do, or so i thought, yeah, the joke was on me.It took more than 12 minutes for what i had asked for to find me.

The coffee (house brew)was bordering on expresso! hello...i knew what i wanted!

The crossiant was a plain one. I asked for a cheese filled one. I PAID for a cheese one but i guess the waiter peeps felt that money didnt suit them so they gave me what they thought i could handle, after all, that extra dimes really wasnt that much. I didnt eat it, i sent it back after breaking it up to prove my point.

I asked and they said that the cheese was in the middle on the inside of the pastry. Yeah right. Its either there or not there and it wasnt there. These guyz werent playing when they said PLAIN crossiant. And they didnt even have the decency to aknowlege the fact that they had made a mistake.

Dont even get me started on the trays or the cups. All i know is, really Nandos! what happened?? couldnt you redirect some of that money you spend advertising on Sanyu Fm to bettering your services?

Come to think of it, that might explain the sudden increase in prices. All those adverts you keep running. I wish we could do a survey on how many people came to you as a result of the ads and how many stayed. really, there must be a corellation otherwise your crappy service aint justified.

I dropped a long suggestion letter off in the suggestion box. Lets see how effective their Public Relations is..assuming they have one.
