New Year's Eve

Hve you ever thought of new years eve in the bush? This was awesome! As we were closing the year 2009, We decided to go up country. This was a far as the Ethiopian borders, in the Samburu arear, pass Isiolo, a small town in the north of KENYA. This is where the Survivor was once filmed.The Samburu's are quite interesting people. They are also a kind of Masaai's. One of the mornings while i was at the lodge- Shava Lodge, I saw them swimming in a river with crocodiles, and as i was tempting to shout at the kids to say" Hey , there is a crocodile down there- meaning i could see it, and see them playing in the water with their mother watching them. One of the hotel staff, said , don't worry, nothing will happen to them. Only Samburus can cross the river with crocodiles. Weird! Yep!

The EVE of the NEW YEAR 2010 This was the best part of the whole trip. We didn't plan to stay there until the new years eve, but we thought what the her, lets do something that e never done before, being away from home on the new years eve.Trust me, it was worth it. We did Dinner, Kareoke and danced the night away in the bush.

Relocating

I have been thinking , wishing , praying and just when I was sure that God doesn’t here my prayer, I was tired of living away from home. Even when I visited home, it wasn’t home nomore, couldn’t stay there, for fear of robbers that they will attack me . I will stay with friends and relatived who were missing me, but it was never the same. It was worse when I tell them that I am visiting my mom. I would pack my bags with exitement made sure that I fill up the car with gas and hit the road. Yes they will be exited too when I say im on my way . But guess what I still don’t have a room there, I left ages ago, I can only share the bedroom with my mom. What is it, is it me, is it God who is not by my side, Oh is it because we always think God is the one to do some magic in our lives without us trying atleast to help ourselves from getting out of our situations. I always say, without action...nothing will be done. And truly God help those who help themselves. So here i am, planning the big move. - Shipping - Packing - Selling - School - Accomodation I have to deal with all this, but its for the good course.
