MY 2012 was ...

2012-12-31T01:51:00.000-08:00

Where do I start? 2012 has been crazy! And by crazy, I mean hectic! Phew! When the year was starting, I believed it was going to be an amazing and awesome year for me. Why? Because I love even numbers. You know, like, "2,4,6,8,10" etc. You get it? So 2012 was an even year, so I thought, "This owe to be great!" I was not so wrong, but neither was I right. 2012 was ... Oh well, let's round it off

Emptiness

2012-12-17T13:46:00.001-08:00

Emptiness.... Emptiness is what I feel sometimes... Can't fight it, no matter how much I try, My body quivers as I shiver I try to speak but words fail me "Oh if only I could say it", I think to myself. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!! I scream my lungs out Fall to the ground almost lifeless Then begin to shake, I am not dying, I am crying... and crying... and crying. Is it better to be

Is anybody out there? ANSWER ME!

2012-12-17T13:14:00.000-08:00

Hello? Hello? ... Helloooooo? I am talking to you reading this. Are you there? Can you please prove to me you are by posting a comment or something on my blog? I swear most times I feel as if I am sharing thoughts with myself. I need you to interact with me or else I am dying here. :( Going nuts in other words. Thanks to those of you who take time to indulge with me on my blog. The majority

East Africa, STAND UP!!! Vote!

2012-11-04T16:08:00.001-08:00

We may be in what is referred to as the "dark continent" but I believe we are doing a lot to make a mark in the world or at least leave an imprint. This is most particularly thorough entertainment, this time, musically!! We are raising our East African flags high in Africa and outside it. Okay, getting to the point, most of you may know about the Channel O Music Video Awards, yes? Good! Well,

THE GIRL CHILD MATTERS TOO!

2012-10-10T11:07:00.000-07:00

As a child, I dreamed of a future filled with love, fairness and opportunities for all of us, be it a girl or boy. As I grew, I realised that not all of us were as lucky. The girl child's education did not seem to be as important as that of a boy. In some instances, the girl would be told to stay home and do chores as her siblings who were boys, were taken to school. I felt bad when I grew to

SERA gone too soon!

2012-07-31T14:20:00.000-07:00

It was at 10:30pm Tuesday night that I heard the message tone go off on my phone. I neglected it telling myself I will read the message later once I am home and settled in. When I arrived home, got into the house and set my handbag and laptop bag down, I got my phone and as I read the message, I slowly sat down and said, "Oh no!". SERA (R.I.P) A friend of mine had texted me with bad news. The

Stress!

2012-07-27T09:19:00.001-07:00

Gosh, what a week! Ever felt like the world is on your shoulders?? This is how I have felt all week... actually all month! Can't get into the nitty-gritty... you know the saying, "Not everyone wants to hear your problems"? You haven't? Well, that is because I made it up but I am sure you have heard people say it. Am hoping August brings me less stress.... (Yes, I hear you say, "You & me both")

NAMASAGALI PRODUCTION A SUCCESS!!

2012-06-27T08:06:00.001-07:00

Me & some of the Cast members So the Namasagali Old Students' Association (NOSA) production "THE HAPPY LIFE HOTEL" ended on a beautiful note on Sunday 24th June 2012. It was a fun weekend as we went on stage with poise and the moment we got off, run backstage to change into the next costume for the next scene as quickly as possible, sometimes almost colliding with each other. Hilarious

IS LOVE ALONE ENOUGH?

2012-06-15T09:24:00.000-07:00

"A loving relationship is one in which the loved one is free to be himself/herself — to laugh with me, but never at me; to cry with me, but never because of me; to love life, to love himself/herself, to love being loved. Such a relationship is based upon freedom and can never grow in a jealous heart."-Leo F. Buscaglia I love reading inspirational quotes and Leo F. Buscaglia is one of my

UMEME's back at it again!!

2012-01-03T11:19:00.000-08:00

The new year 2012 is finally here but it is being made gloomy and boring all too quickly due to UMEME's endless load-shedding/cutting off of power supply. :( It pains me to say this but Uganda, my country, when will we ever truly develop and be beyond such issues??? It is just the 3rd of January but electricity is going off in almost all places. I was at work in Bugolobi then power went off, so

I am NOT my hair!!

2011-12-27T11:45:00.000-08:00

Many of us go through transformations at some point in our lives, some of us more than others. When this happens in my life, I refer to it as 'going through a transition'. Yes, I have been through it. It was in 2008 December that I decided to cut off my hair and start growing dreadlocks... some people thought me insane but then the look grew on them and now they do not want me to cut my dreads

Using MUSIC to GIVE BACK!!

2011-12-24T06:02:00.000-08:00

It is said that Christmas is a time for giving and sharing. I believe it is. There is an air of excitement around me.... Xmas carols playing around the city, decorations in place, people shopping gifts and all..... While I was doing my radio show a few weeks ago at Radiocity 97fm, members of Swangz Avenue (one of the best music production houses in Uganda) came to meet with my bosses about

Wats happening to Uganda?

2011-04-11T05:43:00.000-07:00

I am not happy about our situation in Uganda, politically and economically. Well, everyone around the world is going through a financial crisis or has felt its pinch but now, what is happening in Uganda is that we cannot even do a peaceful demonstration to let our voice be heard. If u dare, u will be bombarded with tear gas, police all over the place and their "S.W.A.T." team ready to tackle any

SO U WANT TO BE AN ACTOR/ACTRESS?!

2011-02-07T06:16:00.000-08:00

A friend & fellow actor Munene Mutuma inspired me to write this after I read his post on acting. Over and over again, I have received emails and texts and met people who tell me they too are interested in acting. This warms my heart but the funny thing is that they think I can make their dreams come true. The fact is that I cannot. IT STARTS WITH U! I never had it easy getting to where I am and I

OMG!

2010-10-18T15:03:00.000-07:00

Just dropped in to say a quick "HELLO! I"M STILL HERE!" ;-) It has been a while since I posted something on my blog... shame on me, right? ... Darn it! I apologise for the silence. I do have a lot to tell you about what I have been up to; poetry, acting, my new music... blah blah blah ... as well as other stuff but I need to get some good "me" time and spill it all out. Oh, before I go, to those

2010-06-13T11:34:00.000-07:00

Oh my... it's been a very long while since I last posted something on my blog.... Where do I start? It has been a busy year, and it still is going on.... I am acting in the second season of CHANGES, an M-Net East African TV series, being filmed in Kenya. All is going on well, but I just hope I will be done in time to go back to Uganda. A lot to do there too. I miss Ugandan food.... :-( I miss my
