  Do you even remember? I do…   Sitting in the back of your red truck? I do…   When we talked about everything? I do…   And about what I was going to be? I do…   And what you had to be? I do…   Don’t you remember what you said? I do…   [...]

• The Creekside Princess: Little Secrets

  Posted: March 26, 2010, 4:30 pm by She Blossoms...

  The title of this week’s episode resonates with me as much as the story of the 13 year old Antonia does. I know how devastating little secrets in the family can be when they accumulate and become a huge lie. Perhaps you do too. So I hope that you will read the episode. The reason [...]

• Twitterama

  Posted: March 24, 2010, 7:21 pm by She Blossoms...

  I write this post, at the risk of receiving a disgusted look from a certain soul who is convinced that Twitter is for Twits(Duh.). In the recent week’s Makmende viral mania that is shooting Just a Band way off the charts, I thought to stand up for Twitter. And Facebook.

• ♫ Melody Memories ♫

  Posted: March 22, 2010, 3:04 pm by She Blossoms...

  While trying to clean out my computer and sort out my music, I came upon quite a realisation. Nearly every song I saved has a memory linked to it. Not just a happening which would be the first memory but a place too, which in each case seems to be the place where the song [...]

• Strike Out!

  Posted: March 18, 2010, 2:47 pm by She Blossoms...

  The street is called Mtipesa because at the head of it is an old mkanju (Cashew Nut tree) where the local drug dealers sit on truck tyre wheels half buried and cemented into the ground. The mabeshte, as someone decided to call them, sit here all day, selling their wares quite openly, collecting cash from their customers while [...]

• Waiting on the World to Change?

  Posted: March 16, 2010, 3:17 am by She Blossoms...

  I can't change the whole world by myself. But I can't sit around and wait for it to change.

• Something Inside So Strong

  Posted: March 12, 2010, 10:56 am by She Blossoms...

  The higher you build your barriers The taller I become The farther you take my rights away The faster I will run You can deny me You can decide to turn your face away No matter ’cause there’s Something inside so strong I know that I can make it Though you’re doing me wrong so wrong You thought that my pride was gone, oh no There’s [...]

• Purge – The Laptop

  Posted: March 10, 2010, 10:54 pm by She Blossoms...

  I am angry. Well, I’ve been angry for a looong while. About 6 weeks. Now it is time to purge and let go. So I am going to write about it. I am generally a trusting soul. I know, by first hand experience that human beings can be absolute monsters. But for some reason, I walk [...]

• The Moral of the Story is…

  Posted: March 8, 2010, 1:08 am by She Blossoms...

  This memory was spiked by an intense conversation in the back rooms of  The Princess Project (K). Did anyone watch The Specialist Saturday  night? The first time, I watched it, was with Khaled my really old Arab Psychologist. The Premise of the story is a bomber who goes rogue and sells his services for revenge purposes after [...]

  It has been quite a week. I wish I could share some of the conversations that go in the back rooms of thee Creekside Princess without spilling industrial secrets All I can say is that it has been quite a week! Well, I can also say that some of the writers gave [...]
