Economy View

I know many people wonder why of late i ve bn so silence. No! I ve bn running around checking on the Kenyan economic growth. U can even c that i ve changed my template. Its now a cool thing.

The fact that i changed it is bcoz of some business ideas. 2gether with ma biz partners we ve started a stock brocking company. We deal with buying and selling of shares in NSE and opening of CDSC accounts. From May, i will concentrate more on that biz than ma professional field.

We were driven into it by the demand of many Kenyans who r currently enjoying economic boom and ve more disposable income which they would rather invest them in shares or something that gives a return. Currently there is Access Kenya IPO, but this is for only individuals who would afford more than 5000 shares meaning more than KSH. 50,000. The common mwananchi cant afford that. To follow is Kenya Re and of course the one and the only company which millions of Kenyans are waiting for, the most profitable company in East and Central, Safaricom.

Talking of Safaricom, there is a danger looming coz some individuals want it to be listed in NYSE or London Stock Exchange, claiming its too large to be handled by NSE...this is a big lie...this is juz the propaganda of making Safaricom a foreign company! Its profits are from Kenyans, so why should u take them away to a foreign land? NSE is growing, n it can only grow if large companies like Safaricom list in it.

My Holiday Fusion and Optimism

There are numerous examples of people throughout the world who have overcome handicaps to achieve great success. One thing separates these winners from those who fail: they disregard any and all obstacles. These people-and all winners-possess the will to win. It's a will that starts with a belief in our ability to achieve the goals we dream of accomplishing.

Unfortunately, the world does not provide much inspiration on a daily basis. From the reporting of mostly negative news, to a "20% chance of rain" mentality, to music that tells us that love must be a painful experience, most people have few daily reminders that they can obtain personal and professional greatness without having to win the lottery.

We are all faced with challenges at some point in our life, challenges that we did not create. Challenges that happened beyond our control. The difference is how we respond to these challenges. You can adopt the attitude there is nothing you can do, or you can see the challenge as your call to action.

"Become a 'possibilitarian'.
No matter how dark things seems to be or actually are, raise ur sights and the possibilities. Always see them, for they r always there"

Don't let go of your dreams. If you have determination and belief in your dreams, you will succeed in spite of your desire to let go. This poem really puts me on top of the world. When am down or rather feel bad i usually read it. Especially when someone wanna make ur ride rough or come over ur way, or wanna pin u down. I wishing u all a very nice and prosperous Easter holidays, enjoy urselves.

If you can't be a pine on the top of the hill,
Be a scrub in the valley-but be
The best little scrub by the side of the rill;
Be a bush if you can't be a tree.

If you can't be a bush be a bit of the grass,
And some highway happier make;
If you can't be a muskie then just be a bass-
But the liveliest bass in the lake!

We can't all be captains, we've got to be crew,
There's something for all of us here,
There's big work to do, and there's lesser to do,
And the task you must do is the near.

If you can't be a highway then just be a trail,
If you can't be the sun be a star;
It isn't by size that you win or you fail-
Be the best of whatever you are!

Pot-Bellied!

I was seated in the bus in a far corner then comes two ladies and one guy..we seated 2gether. As the bus cruize away 4rm the city, they started a very funny conversation. I don remember how they started but the way they were arguing attracted my attention. They were arguing about pot-bellied men/ladies! The guy waz arguing that a pot-bellied lady is not very attractive. Then the ladies waz saying that they don wanna date any pot-bellied man! They cant even imagine how they can ve sex with a pot-bellied man!

This is a big debate, can anyone here agree with these guys? Over to u.

Ad Madness!

Sometimes u wake early in the morning n u think people r crazy. I mean when u look arnd wherever u r u just get amazed, surprised or u find urself laughing alone.....like using a phone with blue-tooth..u will find a person talking n laughing...n if u dont scrutinize very well u will think 'amerogwa'.

Oh, where waz i? I waz talking abt the craziness which is hitting Kenyans. There this ad abt 'kufungua account bila chochote na Barclays'. Look at the man with only pants, socks and shoes. I just laugh to myself and thought that they didn't pass their point very well. Ati "Sasa unaweza fungua account bila chochote", first, the guy posing should ve bn pure naked 2 mean that u can open with nothing...in that everybody will b interested with the ad n will know exactly its meaning!

That will take the advertisement to another level! Isn't this crazy? Again there is something its juz killin kabisa! Are the ad companies lacking the spaces to advertise? Adverts are all over the place...now they r putting on buses! Very soon we will c them sticked on animals!

Have a gr8 advertising day!

The City Glory is Here

It has bn a long time since i blog. But i waz cruising around the city and a realised that while some people glory 'are gone', the 'glory is here' for Nairobi city. Kudos goes to the city godfathers for the work they are doing. The city is fast gaining its past glory of 'the city in the sun'. The most notable things are the tree planting..dubbed 'Nairobi City Beautification Programme' and street lighting projects. The city roads are glittering at night, thanx to one woman called..Esther Passaris n her Adopt-a-Light.

Pavements are no longer muddy on rainy days and dusty on sunny days. Currently, the projects is xpanding to the city estates. City slums and estates are nolonger dark at nite. Rehabilitations of some landmark

buildings like KICC which is fast earning Kenya foreign income through conference tourism. Whoever sees no change in the city should have a walking tour.






Nairobi city at night

Finally, n here is the Bantuts 'thingie'. U can now bet!

Windows Vista

What way forward? I ve bn so busy nowadays, working like a termite till late evening. Guess what i ve bn doing? Trying to put up some things to ve the latest 'face' in the market. When you are working in a field where technology matters and you must get updated with the latest offers in the market and make your company be the role model to other companies who depends on technology to run their daily biz. Oooh! what a long expalnation?

The point is, i waz busy upgrading my company's system to the latest 'Bill Gates' product 'Windows Vista'. An improvement of windows Xp. It looks splendid, easy to use. The fact is, its more advanced than other windows OS. U gotta try this.

Windows vista makes the customization and deployment easier. You can easily add drivers, service packs, updates n languages to it. It provides tools that help you inventory, test, migrate data and user state.
