Suckin' it up. Yeap!

Well, I felt so badly about the boyfriend thing but still I had to do what I had to do.
See I have this articles of mine pending since three weeks ago. So, I took my things and headed for EXTREME VIDEOS. That's on the 6th floor of Hazina Towers near Goethe Institute. So then I got there and watched the Constant Gardener, noting the main messages in the Movie then paid the fifty shillings required. EXTREME VIDEOS is an awesome place. They have row upon row of television sets with a pair of headphones and a DVD player plugged in to it. You get a TV set of your own and you can sit back, relax and enjoy the movie you have always wanted to watch. A place you must visit if one love movies but can't afford to watch them on big screen theatres.

Anyway, when that was done. I went to the car park within Hazina and took a couple of photographs of Uhuru Park and Highway. They were awesome pictures too. Here's a sample.

Next, I came back to my desk but a distraction came along and I had to move. So I went to a quiet little place that no one but me knows about and typed out my report, refering from time to time to some articles about Dypraxa and The Constant Gardener. When I thought it was done, I remembered that I had five books to return to the Library, by the end of today otherwise, I would have to pay a fine.

So off I went with my heavy bag of books. A friend took me all the way to the University but I didn't want or need his company at that time I was very distraught. He left me at the entrance and I was relieved to be alone at last. On my way to the library, I noted a man who was selling snacks near the grassy area we, students like to call "The Park", Situated to the west of the Nairobi University Bookshop. So on my way back, I picked two sausages and a hot dog, which I devoured quickly. I asked the man if I could take a picture of him. He was very cooperative and even paused for the picture.

When that was done, I came back towards the office, tears stinging my eyes. I had accomplished all I had set out to do for that day and only one thing remained. Going to the bathroom for a good cry. So I went, got my handbag and the rest of my treasures then ended up in the bathroom.

But Lo! There was someone in the other cubicle. So I sucked it up until she had left, then I let it rip, the ocean behind my eyes. Tears came full force for about one and a half minutes, and I couldn't breathe properly, nor could I cry with sound, but I sniffed and sniffed some more.

When that was done, I looked at the pictures I had taken and saw that out of the three, only one was good and clear. Still have them here and wondering what I should do.

Thought my nightmares were over but here is something else.


Oh God! This is too much. I just found out by accident from one of my friends that one of my other friend has a girlfriend who shares his taste in music and who when she calls, my friend disappears completely. How terribly sad. Once again, I'm alone.

Why do I bother making friends?
