DEAR DIARY: A World Cup filled with excitement

> Brazil lost this week. Even though I am not a Football fan, I must say, I was a little sad about it. I heard on the radio that the whole city where the match was held went into hiding. No one came out after it was done. It must have been a gloomy day for Brazilians, so sad.

DEAR DIARY: Life is filled with uncertainties

>Three children died in a pool last Sunday. When I heard that, everything in me reacted to the news. Three little girls went out to a party that afternoon. They were looking forward to seeing that boy from the neighbourhood that they like and perhaps they had put their favourite dress on.

DEAR DIARY: It’s not goodbye but see you later

>Leaving on a Jet plane is a song by John Denver, but most people will identify it with its first line All my bags are packed I’m ready to go. My mother loved this song and she hummed it every morning under the bougainvillaea tree as she took a nap. Sooner or later her demise hit us like thunder on a sunny day.

DEAR DIARY: Is it diversity, or self-expression?

>I added a weave on my head last week, and it always amazes me how one small change on your body can make a huge difference on your looks – negative or positive. I was particularly intrigued about what the salonist had to say about the new weave in town.

DEAR DIARY: Where is the respect for women?

>It was just last week when I wrote about street harassment. I talked about two videos I had seen, one was of a male journalist in Egypt who disguised himself as a woman. He experienced physical and verbal abuse.

DEAR DIARY: Do not enslave yourself to beauty

>Tell me one thing ladies, what part of your body do you want to change? You know, that part you want to be bigger or smaller. You don’t have to think hard. I know that you know it. It is good to admit it to yourself that you dislike that part of your body.

DEAR DIARY: Travelling is indeed enjoyable

>A job assignment saw me travel to Mbeya last week, I must say, the sheer beauty of the region was breath-taking. I love travelling upcountry. I love getting out of Dar and seeing places
