The Night I got Robbed… posted on January 23, 2010 - 12:14am

On the 22nd of January, at around 8pm along Yusuf Lule Road, just before the signpost that says ‘Yusuf Lule Rd’ I got robbed. Amidst bumper-to-bumper traffic, I was seated in the driver’s seat. My cousin was in the passenger’s seat. We were coming from her place in Kololo heading to Garden City when the left back door opened suddenly and closed just as suddenly. I thought I had locked the doors as I always do so I was in shock at first but in a few seconds, my senses came back. I remember screaming as soon as the door opened because I thought we were going to be kidnapped and forced to drive to a far away place and be left for dead. That didn’t happen but instead, my purse, which was on the floor of the back seat near the left back door had been snatched, and the thief was getting away fast.

Lately I’ve been having a lot of saddening experiences. Every time I think of our nation and our people, it makes me sad. I am not angry, and I am not necessarily losing hope either but there’s a melancholic feeling that engulfs me when I think of where we might be headed if we keep up this way. Before I graduated college, I was very optimistic and was quite sure that there was something I could do in my own little way to make things better.
But slowly over time I have become dead to all the corruption, the intended evilness, the ill intentions. The silent traps set for otherwise good people that lead them to do bad things. In a word, I was fed up. Now I feel helpless. I feel as though nothing I can do or say would change anything and that for me is a very bad place to be.

Hello peoples! I am really not good at this writing thing anymore… I think it has to do with the fact that I am not in school anymore and the literary phase is slowly passing but I pray it never really goes away. I remember when all I wanted to do was sit down and blog about every little thing! Now I just tell myself that I’ll summarize what’s been going on and when I do get round to it, it doesn’t seem as fun as it all was when I was actually doing it.
So here’s my summary:

God Knows!! posted on May 12, 2009 - 11:00pm

Shalom Brethren and Sistren!
In my last post, I was a little upset, a little down and a little depressed and yes, I admit, I was a little angry. But today, when I woke up, I had a great feeling that everything was going to work out the way God intended everything to work out. ( More often than not they do and even when we think they haven’t, truth is they have but we are too stubborn to accept God’s divine will).
Anyhow, I got up, showered, refused to let that phone call that got me up on this rainy day bother me and decided I was going to be productive no matter what. As this world would want it, something happened in the middle of the morning that threw me off. I was discouraged and all my plans and hopes started to seem a little too highly set. I lost morale and was in almost the same position I was in at the same time I wrote the last post.
But I kept repeating to myself inwardly that He had all this in control and things would be alright.

Be Still… posted on May 5, 2009 - 4:36pm

I am listening to that Kirk Franklin & Toby Mac song and I am fighting so hard to be still… and know that He is God. Yes I know deep inside that He is God but why is the being still so hard?
I am tired. I am confused, I don’t want to face anyone at any time. I can’t smile because deep down I am hurting. I am saddened that even though I know that I know that He is God, and despite the fact that I know that because He is, I am and He is love… I want to just break down and let it show on my face in my walk and my ‘swag’ that I am not ashamed of whom I love and I shall stand for what is right no matter what.
Even when it feels like my efforts are unappreciated, I shan’t compromise the goodness of the Lord in me. I shall not be made to feel small because if the Lord is my Father, then I am the daughter of a King!!

So, I lost my password again… what else is new? LoL for some reason I haven’t tried to figure out how to personalize passwords on this wordpress thing and yet I insist on sticking with this very blog just because… well because blogger had its time and now there’s tweeter or twitter (that’s how much I am behind) that I don’t know how to work or even what it looks like but most of all because I don’t like the idea of calling my friends my ‘followers’ and thus I do not want to be a tweet/twit.
Anyhow, all is well in ziva-ville and if I might announce, although the last couple of weeks have been stressful, there has been a lot of productivity.

Waging War posted on April 14, 2009 - 10:40pm

On my way back home from the hair salon, one of my favorite songs of the year played on Power Fm (104.1). It is called waging war by Cece Winans. I love this song so much for so many reasons… for one, I am tired of the devil stealing from me and so in recognition of this fact, I put the volume on full blast and sang my heart out as i flew over the ka swampy area en route to kalangala (where I reside

I once wrote this. . .
“I have dreamt all my life for that one person that God made for me and when I do find him, it won’t be that easy to get away from me. I can tell you that much. Imagine that, for every one of us, God made a person who would bear with us. I personally treasure the thought of the man who will take all my stressing and ranting, who will be with me through my pms-ing , my childish needs, and my obsessive cleaning bouts. Yes, I am one of the few women out there that still believe that my match is somewhere in this world and I will find him.”

SO… posted on April 1, 2009 - 4:12pm

Now that I am semi assured that there is joy and life ahead, I may start blogging as I so promised myself LAST YEAR. How bad are all these resolution thingies? I won’t even go into how I ended up neglecting this space for more than six months but suffice it to say that forgetting my password didn’t help at all.
Yes, I am engaged! It was all very exciting I even cried. I didn’t think it’d happen to me… not the engagement part but the crying one… And it seems that that very incident opened up a very emotional me so now I cry when I feel like it and burst out laughing at the tiniest show of humor. I think I’ll remember that moment for a very long time.
