I love salsa. This dance just sweeps me off my feet. It is the best way to go out, party and do something lovely.It started way back at home. It was an in thing and , I then got to a college that had cheap classes. But I was too broke to afford the “cheap classes”. I learned once in Paris there are salsa schools and evening classes around the city, I joined and that is where I fell deep in it! I love it!
261 euros is my highest telephone bill, I mean in a month. Two months ago I spent that amount on phone calls and text messages………to mean I talk a lot? Or I listen a lot?
This weekend I participated in a TV show. It is a news show.Guests talked and one was defending the president of Equitorail Guinea, who is undergoing a curruption case. I was going to tell him to shut up because most African leaders are corrupt and we all know that. It was live. I loved it and it was crazy seeing the guy(presenter) who’s always on tv, just next to me. I was impressed.
I love sleeping. Whenever I can, I sleep till way past midday. I defend myself that I went to boarding schools since the age of ten, I never had the chance to prolong my sleeps, not even over the weekends…….let alone during school vacations. We had only a week or so at home, before holiday tutions. The body needs rest, one day or another;
I have never climbed up the Eiffel Tower.
When I first came to France, I knew that I would one day have to climb up there. When I first saw it, I loved it, I still remember how I gaped at it, it was so beautiful. I even promised to do so the following week.
Weeks have passed and I still haven’t. Reason? You go there and there are thousands of people in the queue. So you have to stand in a line that advances so slowly for three or four hours! I loose my patience. I end up touching(at times kissing) the foot of the tower. The funny part is trying to locate the middle, three or four people, so distant and each one insisting to be sure of the middle.
But I promise I will this summer.
I come from a big family that keeps growing as time goes, marriages in the past five years add up to three, I have two nephews whom I love more than anything on earth. My family despite the distance counts a lot for me. I love them.
I am a christian, a protestant. I was baptized at 18.I last went to church several months ago, but that does not make me less a believer, does it?
I love swimming. I go to the swimming pool, at least once a week, or every two weeks. To me it is not a sport but a way to relax………and it is cheap for members in public swimming pools in Paris!! I am not fond of sports.
I love litterature, I read a lot.
I have never voted. And I dare call myself a patriot.Shame on me!
I now pass the award to Sultry nutter, Pink Memoirs, Xs, Sybella,M,

Phone bill for 261 Euros??!?!?!?
Ok, let me regain my breath.
*breathe*breathe*
Going on, I totally empathise with the part about you not having climbed the Eiffel tower yet, when one lives in a place, you tend to take it for granted and not explore. Lord knows there are so many ‘touristy’ places in Kenya I’ve not yet been. That said, I climbed it the 2nd day I was there when I traveled to Paris last year. The panorama’s beautiful and worth the wait.

@ Mo:Yeah, breath, I know, it is someones salary!!!
You see, the day “they” will tell me go back to Kenya, I will ask for one thing, to climb the eiffel tower!For now………slow on it, till summer,maybe!

Now I have a good reason to sleep and sleep some more. The boarding school at a young age idea. Never thought of it hehehehe. Nice. Thanks.

you see, it works, one day, some guy told me, yes, of course you are right. Then I went, yes I am catching up for sleep lost ten years or so ago.

I also tend to carry sleep foward.
If I ever come to Paris..the first thing would be to climb the Tower, then check out the Louvre..maybe see the original MonaLisa.
May 15, 2009 at 5:24 pm
@Savvy:Louvre is a thing not to miss, mona Lisa’ smile….but you do not get to “paparazzi” it, unless you “steal”; for the tower, whet dicourages is the queue… you see, better see other things than stand for hours… unless it is worth it, for those who viwit, for example.

Since everyone has an excuse as to why they sleep alot…, mine I blame architecture! I never got my well deserved sleep since i joined campus!
You have never voted??? I don’t blame you..I’ve voted once and I don’t think I’m doing it again..ever!
May 24, 2009 at 7:40 pm
You are sleeping a lot now?
May 25, 2009 at 1:57 pm
@Sibbie: you see, I have never had the motivation to vote, worse still, those of you who have ever tried it don’t advice “us” to… so, I willnot vote soon neither!
