DEAR DIARY: Good looks will get you votes

>Women vote for good looking men. Don’t we? Before you protest, hold it, hold it ladies… We don’t have to look very far to test the theory. Our dear President is a good example. If you voted for JK, how many of you would say that his looks didn’t cross your mind at all when you were voting? Be truthful now.

DEAR DIARY: It feels good to be home again!

>A friend of mine told me weeks ago, “Sometimes, the best way to move forward is to start all over again”.  It might seem like a painful truth, but dawa isn’t always sweet, aye?

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: 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: 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: Why would anyone kill a child?

It is hard to imagine that someone can harm their own child, leave alone a baby. It is human instinct to want and protect life instead of destroying it, especially that of a child. But things happen and sometimes, they happen to you.
