There are some men out there who put in a lot of time, money and thought into their appearance, and I think I need to appreciate all their hard work and effort to look luscious and gorgeous. You need to know you’re looking hot is not all in vain, my eyes and my vivid imagination really appreciate it

Here are some of the things that men adorn that simply kills me:

Suits

There is nothing hotter than a man in a suit! I do not think it can get any better than that seriously. Men look polished, suave, and very handsome. You can never go wrong with a suit unless you have bought a cheap one, that is not your size, and you keep those labels on the sleeves rather than cutting them off smh. Every man should have a suit in their wardrobe.

Men that drive me mad

Cardigans and sweaters.

I love the whole collegiate look. Cardigans with a nice shirt, topped with a tie or bow tie always looks snazzy. You can wear it with a t-shirt as well and some fitting jeans, not too snug though.

For a nice formal look, invest in sweaters especially for the working class men. Be it plain, striped, multi coloured, argyle, you can never go wrong.

Waist coats

Every guy should have at least one waist coat in their closet. It is a cool piece of apparel which goes with almost anything and still looks cool.

It’s an easy way to jazz up your plain shirts and tees.

I am not a fan of 3 piece suits though, I dunno why it just looks a bit strange when the blazer comes off..

Leather jackets

First up, I am personally on the hunt for a leather jacket. Those things are like uber cool! And how hot do men wearing them look? Especially when they pop their collars??

Sunglasses

These handy accessories not only shield our eyes from the violent rays of the sun, but they make anyone stand out and look stunning!

I find avatars particularly look very nice on men, and old school shades as well. The key thing is to find appropriate sunglasses which suit the shape of your face in order to frame it well.

Ian Mugoya that is all!

Watch

Last year, I noticed that this guy who really used to jazz me had a nice watch. Ever since then, I am no longer jazzed by him, but I am now kinda obsessed with men’s watches. After I have sufficiently surveyed a man’s physical appearance, the next place I will look at is his wrist. I like watches with big faces, and classy straps, it just tells me a lot about the man. Do not ask me what

Tag Heuer Watch

Hair

I love hair, playing with it, stroking it, styling it, be it my own or other people’s hair. I like men with long hair, be it cornrowed or a big fro that just makes you want to dig your fingers into it. I think men with dreadlocks look really cool, I also dig the whole shaggy hair thing. The clean shaven look is also hot and I usually cant help but want to rub such heads. This depends though, on if the guy has a nicely shaped head or not.

Beckham, one of the most stylish dudes ever!

Suspenders

We’ve always viewed them as fuddy duddy and urkelish, but recently suspenders are suddenly cool and fashionable! I love how men look in them, and I would like to think of them as a modern day leash which you can use to steer or punish the man wearing them. I can’t explain, I can only demonstrate

Chuck Bass can gerrit!

Hats

Not every one can pull off hats. I like baseball caps, marvins, fedoras, beenies, it looks really cool.

Kid Cudi

Shoes

I am one of those rare girls who do not first look at a man’s feet to check out his shoes. I will only notice them if they are very nice, or very wack.

And yes, I like supras I do not know what people have against them, maybe the guys they’ve seen just aint wearing them right..

Even Stevens has really come a long way

I like the loafers. Is it me, or is there like a Gucci explosion in Kenya right now??

Tunics

I really dig the whole tunic look, open chested with some african necklaces and the sandals, looks very swanky!

So for now those are some of the things that kill me when I see them on men, so if your reading this, just conform already and give my eyes a treat

Confession I dont wanna be the exception

Today i saw the most perfect beautiful fully bloomed long stemmed red rose stuck inside a floral arrangement. I was really tempted to pull it out but i had to restrain myself. I am not really a flower person, but i think i’d really be jazzed and happy if someone gave me a rose as beautiful as the one i saw today. It was perfect in every sense of the word, i stared at it and revelled at its beauty, longing to take a whiff of its rosy scent. Yeah, the meeting i was in was extremely boring lol.
Anyhoosmu this past few days i’v encountered newly engaged couples who seem so happy and elated it’s even infectious. I saw the most gorgeous ring, and i stared at my finger for a while wondering what kinda ring if any, would be bestowed upon my finger, knowing that i’d be elated and not immediately say no like i always think to myself that i would if i was ever popped for the question. So i think i really need to reevaluate the whole getting married at 38 thing…

Goodbye my friend

As we speak one of my best friends is up in the air flying thousands of miles away from here. It still feels kinda surreal, like it has not happened, but I know she’s gone because I feel so sad and alone.

Yes I may have tonnes of friends, but that doesn’t matter, I am sure I am just but an option for some of them.

The future looks bleak for the next 1 year, my randomness reduced a lot in February when the first best friend left, now it will reduce a whole lot, and after my other close friend leaves, it will be reduced to zero

I hate goodbyes and I hate change, and clearly I have a lot of adjusting to do, and I am really not looking forward to it.

I am now refraining from watching any sad movies, or listening to slow mushy music because I will cry bucket loads!

Today is gonna be a really long yucky day………..

TGIFridays!!!

Thank God It’s Friday!!!!

This is the one time I am not stoked it’s Friday

I am excited about

My Funky Friday Theme Song Is

There goes my baby ~ Usher

Usher looks so hot in this video, I love it when he pulls himself up the balcony or something like that. No wonder he refers to his songs as baby making music, this song is quite something!

This weekend I

will be hanging out with my best friend for the last time before she leaves

I am really craving

Ed hardy hoody

Ed Hardy Shoes

I really want something Ed Hardy, their stuff is uber cool!!! You can find their stuff at the Converse Store at The Junction, but I think a Tee goes for about Kshs 8000/= and above. Since I cannot throw away that amount of money on a tee shirt, I will just wait for that sponsor I know I will get to buy it for me

I wish

Monday never gets here

I hope

I will pull off my new resolution.

When darkness falls

KPLC really? The first time i get home before the sun sets and you take away our power!? I remember asking this question, who do kplc employees report power black outs to?! Do the people responsible get warning letters from HR? They should coz they really suck at their jobs!
This my first time home before midnight on a thursday in two weeks! Was hoping to catch brothers and sisters and find out whats good with the walkers and stuff. Now i’m lying in bed, listening to music from my phone as i write this post, i’m sure my battery is slowly diminishing.
This is definitely the worst time to be on a social network hiatus. I would be stalking people on facebook or spamming your twitter timeline with rubbish.
Thank God for my blog, it’s keeping me preoccupied at least.
So my week has been primarily melancholic, i’m sure next week will suck lemons. I hate goodbyes and many people are leaving i’l talk about my sadness next week after all the tears and what not..
Yesterday was definitely FTWinsday (for the winsday) my closet got a whole lot fuller thanks to my dear cousin who gave me a bunch of clothes. I was really looking forward to trying them on and doing a little fashion show for myself, but no electricity just had to go! Nkt
In other news, my mind is sorta free from wanting things that i should not, let’s just leave it at that!
I think i’l just enter the sheets and reflect on what i’m going to wear tomorrow, how i’m going to dodge that wedding on saturday, how i am sleeping in this weekend, spending the last few moments with one of my best friends before she leaves, squashing peoples wrong conclusions, resisting temptation, and what i am going to eat for dinner tonight because i am not feeling rice or ugali uurggh
Imagine after writing all of this lights are not back yet
Let’s just hope i do not do something stupid as i wallow in idleness and boredom! Wish me luck!

JEEVES’ UNANSWERABLES

Ask Jeeves, apparently a popular search engine not with Kenyans am I right? released a list of 10 unanswerable questions that have been queried on the site for the last 10 years.

This list is based on some 1.1 billion queries made on the site since it’s inception in the year 2000.  Read more about it here

Here is my take on these unanswerable questions..

1. What is the meaning of life?

Okay fine, the internet is the cause of and solution to many of life’s problems, but do people really expect answers to some of these questions?? A website is run by a human being, just like you, he definitely would not know the meaning of life. What do they expect the answer to this question to be? And what next if they were ever to get the answer to this question?

2. Is there a God?

Really?! People expect Jeeves to have an answer to this?! So if he said God does not exist, does it mean they would stop believing? But I doubt anyone who believed in God would ask such a question just saying.

3. Do blondes have more fun?

I am black and I think I have more fun than most blondes ….. in kenya :p So I am guessing people who ask this question are contemplating dyeing their hair blonde, or getting new blonde friends….

4. What is the best diet?

I think this is a question which actually warrants an answer albeit it may elicit numerous valid responses. But it is a sensible question to ask in my opinion, the real question is, given that there are different answers to this question, which response should be taken as the gospel truth?

5. Is there anybody out there?

The people who ask this question must be extremely bored and lonely, get a life!

6. Who is the most famous person in the world?

Okay I get why Jeeves may have a problem with this question right here. Currently trends change daily if not after every few hours as people rise to fame over one mundane thing or the other. Is there really a means of knowing who is the most famous person ever?!

7. What is love?

That’s a very valid question that I would really like to get an answer to! I tried asking Jeeves myself, and I was not very satisfied with the response. If you are confused just give it a shot and ask him, I doubt you will get the answer you are looking for!

8. What is the secret to happiness?

It’s a secret, you think Jeeves is in on it?? He clearly is a blabber mouth so your really wasting your time trying to get the answer from him.

But I can give you the answer, happiness is what you make of it, you control your own happiness, the end!

9. Did Tony Soprano die?

I was not a fan of The Sopranos so I do not really give a damn. The real question should be what the hell goes on in Lost? Was it a dream they all had together? Was it real? Did the island exist?

10. How long will I live?

My cousin’s friend was dumb enough to ask a Ouija board when she will die, I think the board said when she was 26. If I am not wrong, I think she is still alive, guess she did not fall for it, otherwise she would be dead from paranoia and stuff.

The only thing I can say to people who pose such questions is, what is wrong with you??? Why would you want to know how long you will live for? More so, why do you think some website will provide you with the answer?!

.

.

.

In conclusion, the people who ask these questions maybe just needed someone to talk to and did not know where to turn to, plus they had a lot of free time in their hands : )

Today’s Inspirational Quote Is

‘The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settled for.’

Have A Fantastic Friday!!!!

Uurggh

Ok this hiatus thing is getting frustrating! so much to say but no outlet *_*
Anyhoosmu so i dunno what the universe is trying to tell me, shoving stuff in my face. To some it up lets just say i kinda crossed a line this past weekend, and i keep seeing different renditions of my situation in books, blogs, tv, and i have no idea what i’m meant to take from this!
Ok it may not necessarily be the universe trying to tell me something, but just me noticing this now, anyway thats besides the point.
I dont really know what the point is though, but its no big deal, and i’m gonna make sure it doesn’t become one! Ok i think thats what the universe has shown me…

‘Above all else, guide your heart for it is the wellspring of life’ proverbs 4:23

I have glorified being single to get people off my back and let them know I am doing just fine, and to a point, to also convince myself that I am perfectly okay with being alone and that there is nothing that I am loosing out on.

Today my friend sent me this eBook which says that if women act like their perfectly happy being single, men will let them continue being that way. Men is that true?! It sounds like it is true. I go around trying to justify my singledom, little do I know I am actually pushing them away without knowing it.

Apparently women can nurture men towards marriage by making them realize how much they can gain from it and why they need it in their lives. Maybe I need to realize the benefits of marriage before I can convince someone to propose jump the gun.

Let me fess up, I am really afraid of marriage and that is why I am delaying it for as long as possible. Maybe it is because I do not really know what marriage entails. I view it as pingu za maisha, a life long commitment. I know I am capable of fulfilling my commitments, but it depends on to what extent. I am not going to entertain rubbish like cheating, or domestic violence, I will have none of that. As soon as that happens I would want out immediately. And that’s the thing, marriage is meant to be a permanent union, not something you can opt out of whenever you decide. Judging by the current divorce rate of our generation, probability of divorce has definitely gone up many notches, so that is why I would rather not venture into marriage unless I am absolutely sure and positive about it. But me being the over thinker that I am, the peace of mind I would desire to have concerning marriage may never be achieved so I’d rather prolong the day I choose to jump the broom.

According to the book, the purpose of dating is to find a marriage partner. I have sadly come to that age where this statement applies. Growing pains yuck. Even the concept of viewing dating in that light scares me. I still think I am far too young to start thinking about such things while I am reviewing prospects.

The book goes on to say that:

‘If you lack a vision of marriage, you’re setting yourself up for lax sexual standards, relationships without momentum and heartache.’

‘The hope of marriage is an antidote to promiscuity.’

The book goes on to say that if you believe in Christian marriage and are working towards it, it is easier to set physical boundaries and character expectations in dating. I have set physical boundaries for myself with nothing about marriage in my mind; I am the least bit promiscuous. But they may have a point about the relationships without momentum and heartache part…

The e-book is called ‘A girls guide to marrying well.’ It’s quite insightful, and it has been an eye opener yet it has just dumped me into a state of confusion in certain matters, but be that as it may it’s a book worth getting your hands on.

Ask and it shall be given unto you

Today was one of those days when I prayed for something and my prayer was answered by lunch time! There is no greater feeling than having your prayers answered!

I resumed writing daily in my prayer journal and the feeling it gives me is peace, tranquility and hope. I feel happy and content knowing that I have prayed for the people I love, and I get even happier when those prayers are answered.

On Friday my friends and I had a debate on whether God is real or not. Some of them do not believe in God as they wonder how he would allow all these world disasters to occur. They have resigned to their fate of burning in hell.

I am a firm believer in freedom, and I am not prejudiced against people who choose to believe or practice things that are frowned upon or whatever. But I cannot imagine life without believing in a higher power who is in control of my life and the world at large. So where do they get their source of hope, strength, wisdom etc?? I shall ask them that next time..
