Clearly i need a new motivation to revive this blog. It has been ages and the last post was still on my struggle with writing but i will just have to pull my creative gears from wherever they are hiding. I have been travelling a lot to Kisii in the past 3 months and one of my sic friends has been accusing me of a new mode of "slowness" and he diagnoses the reason to be over consumption of matoke but i totally disagree. i just need an extra push to just be able to do this and it will come from within me.
I also blame my little blog presence on facebook. i wont say any other social media coz i hardly use them. but whenever i want to vent i do that well on fb, and if u didn't know now u know my blog is my venting place. my colleague told me yesterday that i get angry so quickly and i am hardly able to restrain from bursting and since i have decided to start working on that, i will put more time venting in my own words right here. So lets see how that goes in a couple of days.

1 Year, 7 Months later......
Where did the blogging psyche go to? i cant believe it's been almost two years since i did it. I guess it's all about the laziness in me as well as the fact that i have been up and down for that time. However, it's still no excuse. this is my platform for saying how i feel and i should utilize it fully.
A lot has happened over that time, i have changed jobs thrice, i am in a different relationship and i am certainly older. But the most significant thing that has happened is that i know have a stronger relationship with God. I have learnt to fully depend on him and i have come to realize that i can do all things through Him who strengthens me. I mean all good things of course.This doesn't mean that i haven't had my faults, i have had many, but i always remember to go to the cross and repent a whole lot of my sins. I have also chosen to be active in my village church which has been fun and fulfilling. My youth group is my second family....and those guys have been a great support to me even when i felt like the world was coming to an end. they have prayed with me and they have given me words of encouragement and for that i love them big time.
As i said i am in my 3rd Job since last year. In fact i just began yesterday so i cant really say much about it but it sounds interesting. I'll definitely be able to say much about it later as i hope to be able to do this more often.

The work
Some times it's it's fun, sometimes it's boring but i guess this happens to everyone at one time or another. dont i hate having bosses? i wish i could remain my owm boss 4eva. and is it so hard to get one sweet boss who will not always look at you like this kid who needs to be followed around but rather this individual who can work by herself without much following around? and dont u hate those guys who just want you to be in the office doing whatever!!!i hate office work. anyone out there having some field work provided that there is a chauffer driven prado to endure any kind of terrain in the world? i would gladly offer my help. all i'll be coming to do in the office is to come and write reports.
for some reasons, i have come to appreciate my working with ALIN.I wish there was a way of getting permanent employment with them, i wouldnt even think twice about it. A small family where everyone cares for your wellbeing. A place where your creativity is enhanced. A place where you can sit with the boss and kula nyamchom and have a good laugh...i miss all that. i guess every step in our lives is meant to be a learning experience and i have learnt that it is best to be a servant leader. one who even the juniour staff will definitely flow with. when i will be a boss at the top, God help me to remember all that.

Moving on..........
It has been so long since i blogged but i guess the inspiration had kinda gone down but iam back with a bang. it's a lot more easier when i know that i have a good internet connection which can enable me to write well.
My journey at ALIN and it was kinda hard to let go. I guess it's because i was so used to the place, it had jus started picking and then i had to leave. well, i guess at one point in life we have to let go even those things and people that are so dear to us. ALIN is one place that'll never have regrets for having worked with them, i learnt so much which i believe will help me along my career and i will forever be grateful for that opportunity.
i am now volunteering (God when will i eva stop being a volunteer?) with GTZ. it seems fun and so far so good.
i hope the three months will be beneficial and i hope i will be able to look back and say it was worth it.

some manners in the ATM lobby pls
Friday was a good day for me. i was all syked up to go to Nairobi 4 two things. it was a weekend and it was the end of the month. my plans were well laid out. i fika tow, the first thing is to go the ATM, get cash and then treat my self to a nice city meal.
so i got to Nairobi and headed for the ATM. i went to the nearest lobby and it was extremely packed (kawaida ya Equity bank) so i decided to move to the next nearest lobby. getting there, the situation was worse. it was a smaller lobby that was more crowded but for some funny reason i decided to just queue there. thats when i took my time to look around. is it just me who noticed or people have the bad habit of peeping at other people's details at the ATM lobby? since the place was so crowded, the people behind and especially those in the next queue got a very good view of the ATM screen. that is such an irritating habit.
so came my turn to withdraw. at the back of my mind i knew that most probably i had more than one person watching. so i wanted to withdraw as fast as possible. the most unfortunate thing is that i did not have cash in my account so all i got was my ATM and a receipt with an error message!! can you just imagine the embarrassment???????? i had been on that queue for that long to just withdraw nothing!!! and to make matters worse, someone peeped that!!! i was so damn embarrassed. i appreciate the fact that more people are warming up towards technology by using the ATMs, but can the lobbys have more privacy please. Or maybe there should be posters reading 'MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS ' anybody feels me on this one?

Love in the Chat room, mmmmmmmmm.......
Ever met guys online who insist on wanting to know all about you and then the next thing he says he loves you? that's like totally annoying!! what makes people think that i can meet them online and believe what they say is the gospel truth?
so today i log into my skype account and from nowhere comes this man who is apparently looking for his sister Kanini. You know those days you wake up with good moods that you can stomach almost anything, i guess today was one of them. so my new found pal and i hit on the chat and i was grateful he didnt ask 'what are you wearing?' that's always the first question on chats nowadays.
i should have guessed where he was headed to when he asked how old i am(second question, OMG!!!) of course i avoided the question and the guy dare tells me that i should be more serious than that coz he is attracted to me and he loves me!!! did u hear that? tell me if iam slow but love after 10 mins of chat? as i write this, he is still insisting that he has found love on the net. apparently that's the reason why he chats. has anyone heard such loads of B*** sh** before?
Clearly people in this world need help.

Welcome aboard
This seems almost like a cliche but hey, aren't introductions always part of a welcome note? My names are Rehema Winnie Muthoni Kanini (trust my parents to give me so many names) i am volunteer with Arid Lands Information Network-East Africa and based in Isinya division, Kajiado District. Blogging is a new thing to me and i am willing to learn to have it work for me. they say it's fun (you should ask who) and i am yet to see how fun it can be. but i guess it is fun for those guys with juicy details to spill to the wolrd. as for me, even if i had any juicy details, i guess they are meant for me. But............ i will try and see how far this goes.
I guess all i can say for now is just flow with me. We might all just like it. Later!!!
