Venecity Chronicles

Happy Holidays! Wadauuuu!!! Merry Christmas and a happy new year 2021. Imagine Twendi Twendi is gone! Its been a tough year for most of us😢. 2020 has had ups and downs. You could be wondering like, ''You had ups? cause I had downs only!'' Its fine but  just like Paul says in Philippians 4:4-8 , r ejoice in all situations always, giving thanks to the Almighty in the good and bad times. Today we wanna talk about waiting! Is there fun in waiting? In my own opinion, waiting is hard! Its full of  uncertainties which are hard to handle, some are more difficult and not equal to others. The other reason why waiting is hard is because we people don't like waiting and "people is me"😂.  2020 has created some memories that involved waiting and my patience was tested to the core. I get to this interview and in a few days, I am called to sign a contract to a new job that would commence the next month. I sign the letter a week earlier to the reporting so that I can giv...

This is the season for graduations! To all graduates, congratulations on the completion of your degree! It has been a long haul for you but you will agree it is worth it. Welcome to the new chapter! This is the day all of us have been waiting for, to put on that cool robe is quite gratifying😍. You are now knocking on the door of aggregate independence. You had just commenced the trip on the roller coaster of life and it was an amusing ride. The truth is, whichever path you take, it won't be easy. Welcome to the great unknown. This article is not meant to discourage you but to give you some heads-up on what is ahead of you. It is written with a lot of love for my younger brothers and sisters. I prepared a few points below; 1. Lower your Expectations "My uncle works at the Ministry of Planning, he promised me a job on graduating.", "My cousin works at the county so I got some link.", "A friend of my mum's friend who has a friend abroad asked for my C.V....

  Its M😊nday, kama kawa, I will remind you to be awes😍me. Take your time to set a confounding tone for the week. Things may be tough but remember Great people are often prepared for great works by great trials #Positive Vibes #Happy Monday

Its a beautiful evening! The heat of the day has receded to a solacing warmth. The sunset has occurred and the colours of the hotel verandah are softened from the sunshine loosing its brightness. I drift my eyes to the cool glass of cocktail juice in my hand and the new layer of gel polish that enables me realize that the day's duties are over. However, I have a meeting with Madam Susan who is helping me with some paper work that I need to beat a deadline in two days. Madam Susan is a busy consultant and half of the time, she is on phone. I am curious to know the airtime package she uses. Seemingly, Ms. Susan is a Safaricom registered customer who is neither aware about Post-pay plan nor All in One monthly data package . Approximately, Ms. Susan uses Ksh. 250 - 500 airtime on a daily basis. This is damn expensive, right?  I definitely took my time to explain to her about these economical packages and you can be damn sure that Ms. Susan was elated on discovering them. She enro...

I bet you are all familiar with the blue Monday feeling😔. Isn’t Monday a felon?   I mentally prepare myself to always appreciate Mondays because I can never do anything about it however much I may hate them. Either way, every day can never be a Sunday! Trust me, this feeling has got nothing to do with the type of job you attend to! I am aware of people who hold rather gratifying jobs but hey, they still do not look forward to Mondays either😅. Monday has to do  with the transition from leisure time to work time,  just like a fast-moving car and the change of gears😂😂. It takes some time to adapt into the flow of the mundane work. Its not like a Thursday evening where I shout the opposite, "Thank God it's Friday😊😊." The transition from work to leisure is spectacular than the later. This particular Monday was a bit unique, thanks to this particular customer experience that lit the day😀. Let me take a moment to appreciate God's creation. Waswahili husema kuwa kizur...

The sky, mid-afternoon, a beautiful canvas graced with sky blues and pure milky whites. The blue in the depths beyond and the smooth, rounded, sugary sweet clouds in the foreground; July evenings were made to be like this. Stained white wooden porches, green plastic lawn and garden chairs and a yellow butterfly dancing above the steamy urban pavement with an invisible partner to a cool made up song. I have a date with my long lost high school best friend Chimea. How about a catch up meeting accompanied with some milk shake or something?                                                         suu_makeup_studio Sitting on the porch waiting for Chimea, a chocolate lady with damply tangled, curly shiny, artfully messy and magnificently thick African hair, arrives, frolicking, bursting with energy like a quarter machine bouncy ball. Basking in the del...

Yesternight, I came across a clip that had a message that hit me so deep yaani. Have you ever felt like you have been hit by a truck but now its a truck of content? A truck of deep words? Deep stuff?😅 Well, that was it and I was like, why cant I be generous enough and serve you the content in my chronicles? It about to go down😊😊 Several times when we see a person who is doing anything exceptional in their lives, we say that they are graced by God. "His business is doing so well!", "He did so well in school", allow me to boldly say, its not favor, and it is not grace. WHY?  God's grace is not selective grace! It is abundant to all! But there is something called frustrating the grace of God. Being graced by God is God's investment in you😃. Being disciplined is your investment in yourself. In Philippians 4:13 Paul says, "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. He is not talking about grace.  Philippians 4:13 encompasses discipline not gr...

Its been a minute! Its been a month, no, two months without serving you with the famous chronicles😢. It hasn't been easy but we have to pick our pieces and keep going, au sio😃. This season has confirmed to me that when you purpose to do something, you got to be intentional!!  Did I wish you a Happy New Month? Happy November Wadau😂. I trust that you are well and of course keeping safe, we can't afford to succumb to wave 2 after  coming out strong in wave 1 !!! Shuwalii Let November this. Lets do this 💪💪💪💪. I was curious enough to know the meaning of November and this is what google indicated; November is the month of transitioning between the rainy monsoon and the cold winter. The weather is delightful after the rains have settled with colder breeze but not harsh. It is also the last month in the Fall season. Now you understand the season we are in, I have a 'qwesheni', are you still skipping the year 2020?😞😞 I totally understand that life can be frustrating t...

  Wakurugenziiiiiiiiii 🤗🤗🤗 .....Hope this October is taking you well... regardless, like we said yesterday, we will do it on the HALLWAY in the meantime ☺️. Sasaaa, hadithi ninayowaletea, mtafurrahii😂😂😂😂...(to those who don't understand Swahili, I mean, it is party and it doesn't want anger😂😂😂). Watu wakujie lessons za Kiswahili...eeeeeh😅 Ayaaa, twende teketeke hadi tao (let's go hurriedly hurriedly to town🤭), well, allow me to do this thing in whatever language that I can, even if it's Kimeru, cause clearly if I go the English way, nitakupoteza, I will lost you🤦😂. This particular day was not one of my best days, first of all I had a bad day at work, secondly, it was too cold in town, thirdly the curfew is at 7pm and time is much gone, fourthly, ayam singo mpaka upepo ikipiga nasikia ikilia, "singooooo"😢. Too much problems on one person, right? 😂. Weeuh!  I pick my bag and head to the point I pick matatus that ply to my place. Guess what wadau,...

                      Suu_makeup_studio Wadaauuu na wakurugenzii wakuu😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗. Nimewahataaaa🤗🤗 Hope you all doing well🤗 I am happy to be back, I am just from hunting and gathering stories and motivation 😉 it gonna be 🔥🔥🔥🔥 So, it's Monday, some motivation will do, right? I don't know what you have been waiting for or rather you needed? Let me ask; Did you ask? Have you asked? ASKING is the gateway. Do not assume because questions create access. Go in your place of prayer, shut the door and meet God. God and I in the same room, JUST THE TWO OF US😍😊 Remember NO means next.  Lord for every no show, give me your next. Show me your glory!! If you knew what is in you, you would have asked!! Before we even asked, He answered, but wait a minute, that doesn't mean that you can go and do life on your own, haiendangi ivo(it doesn't go like that😀😀). Always give Him credit bro, siz😊 and stop expecting out of people what on...

Wadauuuu🤗🤗🤗 Mko poa?? Manze nimewamiss. Bado sijaomokaa😂😂  I am bringing you this story straightaaa from the kitchen 😅😂. Weeeuh🤭 Wacha katambe. So now, my afternoon was a bit boring at work today and I looked forward to hours flying and I would be home soonest. When time had elapsed and I was about to go home, some 'Kanjos' ama ukitaka county council askaris decided to give us some entertainment and some piece of their minds, "watu wa 'Ndii maina' Yani watu wa D- na mmevaa t-shirts hamwezi niambia kitu"😂😂😂 I know you are wondering how all this came to be.  Aya basi twende moja kwa moja hadi Farmers Building hapo MOI Avenue. Si you know those Safaricom Dealer shops? Eeeh, I happened to be in one of them🤗. Ayaa, maybe you have come across a few hawkers along that street? Yeah? Happens one mama with a kid, she is a frequent hawker and am used to seeing her causing fracas with kanjos. She is this brave woman with a young kid and whenever kanjus visit h...

  Wadaauu🤗🤗🤗🤗 If you take your precious time to read my blogs, just know you have a special space in my heart 💓, and no rent you go pay aki😅😅 Now, let me tell you, offers do miracles in a business 😅 Let me not go far, have you heard of Safaricom open market? Aaah wadau simu husongaaaa, maybe because of that price reduction or the gift pack you get on getting the product?!🤷. Kenyans love offers😅, and who is Kenyans😂, I am Kenyan🤣, how??  It's a beautiful Thursday morning, I report to work kama kawa and decide to visit Quick Mart at Mfangano for my breakfast snack 😊. I sanitise at the door and of course have my 'tembaricha measured"😅. Quickmart usually have a snack for the day but the offer for the day unajua ni nini?😂😂😂 Cosy tissues, virgin white in colour 🤗, the kind of texture that will have you visit your washroom without any call, na sio ya simu🤭. Zimetandikwa hapo kwa 'enderasi' mdauu. 'Buy one 10 pack at Ksh 324 and get 1 free.' The ...
