DEAR DIARY: I love October for many reasons

>This year is flying by so fast. I cannot believe that it is October already. It feels like yesterday when we celebrated the New Year ushering in a new beginning, and after what seems like days, we are about to conclude yet again another year.

DEAR DIARY: Reasons why I like my female boss

>I hear a lot of stories about women in the workplace and how women don’t get along when the boss is female. The first theory I hear is that when a woman is in power, there is a clash of energies – jealousy and envy on the rise.

DEAR DIARY: Lose weight for health reasons

>Last week, I watched a certain video online that terrified me. The short clip showed how various billboard girls were ‘made’ to perfection. It was far from what I had imagined. I mean, I know that there is a lot of Photoshop involved, I just didn’t know to what extent. I imagine that the fashion and advertising industries have a lot of gratitude to Photoshop.

DEAR DIARY: Reciprocate the love and care

>Scandal is back. Yaaay! And I have already finished all four episodes. Isn’t Kerry Washington simply amazing? I got a little excited in the first episode when a parcel was sent to her -- revealing her address. Guess where she was? Zanzibar . . . I almost believed that they were really in Zanzibar.

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: They are girls not brides

I was following the First Ladies Summit on child marriage which recently took place in Lusaka closely since I had received an invitation to attend the same but could not make it due to unavoidable circumstances.

DEAR DIARY: Get tested before marriage

>To test or not to test, that is the question. Going for an HIV test can be a very frightening experience; the flash backs about questionable encounters, the crippling self-doubt and even mistrust of your partner can run through your mind.

DEAR DIARY: Tuti, until we meet again

>Tutindaga Anania Mwambungu was my friend. We weren’t the kind that spent all weekends together, or chat over the phone every now and then. We only shared brief moments when she was alive.
