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: 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: 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: 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: 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.

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: The future is not as I envisioned

>It is amazing that we only have 32 days to 2015. I often smile to the thought that I am in the future. 2015 is a big year, no doubt. It is the year that governments have placed deadlines to different development goals. It is the year that we will have our general election; it is a year of many changes indeed. Look at yourself; this is how the future looks like.

DEAR DIARY: Christmas is about reaching out

>It is Christmas next week. Yaaaay. It has actually been Christmas the whole month. I was communicating with a friend who is in the US, and he would end by saying ‘Merry Christmas’.
