Special Read: Happy Valentine's Day

Every year on the 14th day of February, we celebrate Valentine’s Day, also called Saint Valentine’s Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine. This day is recognized as a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romantic love in many regions around the world. While some people celebrate the day joyously, for some it is a bad day because of the memories from the past and for others it is just an ordinary day. This year, whether you choose to celebrate this day or not, may you all find love in all the right places. May you love yourself a little more. May you overlook all the negative things that had been imprinted in your heart and mind. May you forgive yourself for the unrealistic expectations that you had set for yourself.

And because self-love is not meant to replace romantic love, may you find someone who loves you the way you deserve to be loved. May you find someone who can handle your darkest truths, who won’t change the subject when you share your pain or try to make you feel bad for feeling bad. May you find someone who understands that we are all human and we are not perfect. Who understands that we all struggle, some of us more than others, and that these no weakness is admitting it. May you find someone who wants to stay and fight for a love that you both share. May you find someone who understands that life is hard and beautiful at the same time, who isn’t afraid to honour both realities. May you find someone who makes you feel at home in your heart, mind and body, and who derives happiness in seeing you happy. May you find true love. 

Happy Valentine’s Day people

Wamaku on the Beach: The foreman's Vacation

You know those construction workers who are ever obsessed with their work and making them use their leave days is like punishing them? Yeah, Wamaku is one of them. He says he doesn't need the days and that if he needs to see his family, mamaa  and the kids will always come over. The project manager however decided that this year people will be working shifts during the Christmas holiday unike last year when every section worked in full. So Wamaku had to leave someone else in charge for the first two weeks of December and work the last two. It was either one or the other and he had to pick the days with the most overtime. Brilliant, right? Anyway, from the pictures on his statuses, he has been enjoying Mbezi beach. Although he takes the kind of photos that only 50+ year olds take. Or -4 year olds. Wait, now that I think about it, my 3 year old cousin takes better pictures. In his pictures, it looks he is trying to look like he is not taking the pictures while taking the pictures so

The foreman's predicament; A story of attempted infidelity and getting caught

Wamaku came to work with strange spots on his face and part of his neck. He was also in a  very bad mood. Anyone who knows him knows that if someone "steps in his way" on such a day, they will go home. Literally. His form of punishment for a long time has been sending people on unpaid leave. Anyone who has worked in construction for a while knows that is better than being fired. He is a thoughtful man, some say.  Source: Nation media Word on the street is that Wamaku's wife found messages of him and the new earthworks intern, Julia. He came home drunk and got out his phone to inform her that he had arrived. They had been together that evening and as they parted ways, she had told him to text him when he gets home safe- what he was doing.  His wife had heard someone stumble over the kid's toys in the verandah and she had woken up to go see. It was her lovely husband coming back from a drinking spree. He was a little tipsy and he was trying to text someone. She walked t

Lessons from the Mjengo to embrace in 2024: Happy New Year

  Working in the construction field AKA mjengo is like attending the world's most practical school of life lessons. First and foremost, it teaches the undeniable power of teamwork. Trying to build something substantial without a crew is like attempting to juggle bricks—it might work for a second, but eventually, you'll need a hand. As we dive into 2024, we must keep embracing the spirit of teamwork and togetherness. Construction sites are like giant, real-life LEGO projects where everyone has a specific role, from the architect who dreams up the design to the kagirl who cleans offices and fetches tea but somehow becomes the motivational cornerstone of the team. You quickly learn that collaboration isn't just a buzzword; it's the glue holding those bricks (and your sanity) together. Moreover, construction work is a masterclass in adaptability and creative problem-solving. You start your day with a blueprint, a plan etched in stone (well, paper), but the moment you step
