Earlier in the day 😏

A friend just gave birth to a boy and named him Azariah and it reminded me of when i nearly added it to my National Identity. Hmmm i have done things for love! There was this quiet beauty; slim , tender,  light skinned able to flood all LED bulbs in the boy's wing. She had been allowed to keep her hair which enabled her stand out more in our S1 class-2003. Asasira Brenda Pearl-ABP (Miss Earth Uganda 2015) was in S1B and used to walk past my stream(S1A) about 4 times every day.  Yours truly booked the front seat next to the window and ensured a clear view of this top beauty. I knew when she was headed for the canteen, notice board, lunch hour and would sometimes wait longer until she walked back to the dormitory. This stalking went on unnoticed until i temporarily modified my names to Azariah Byamukama Paul to rhyme with her highness. All my books started baring the initials ABP!   Unfortunately she changed schools before i even threw in word and there wasn't much lat...

My MaaMa is not my Hero! I am not her first born, so i didn’t experience the pampering side of her and neither am i her last born   to receive her last tender hands. In fact i was replaced when i was barely 11 months and she had already had 4 babies of her own so i wasn't the one she tendered to most. Not that I was a by the way to her but I truly arrived when her experience was up there and i guess Aine took my show too early. I also attended the same school as my elder siblings so i take it that she knew the drill by the time i was of age.   I seem to have noticed this pattern early enough and decided to shine up first enough since i wasn't going to be anyone's supper beloved considering we were always many in the house. You see, this woman had a lot on her table; She gave birth to 5 biological boys, 1 girl and adopted a 3 months’ boy in her late 40s. On top of her own children, she took on or somehow extended some level of support to her extended family since she w...

At this point of writing, I am still in debt but better than I was at the start of the year as I’ve been coming clean and have resolved to get out of debt completely and to never get there again. I had not been in serious debt before, until 2020 when my wife and I got into a construction project that drained us and needed some extra funding to complete at a faster pace . I eventually went into my  investment clubs and got as much as I could and also acquired a salary loan to top up and finish in record time. Although on paper, the total interest i've paid (or will pay) for all the facilities combined is less than what we would have incurred on rent over the period, we have upon reflection realized this debt thing is just not going to be our thing! Our thing? You know there are people who live on debt after debt; they are always asking their friends for soft loans or their office accountants for advance payment and their investment clubs for loans. They get a loan to clear an old ...
