it's always the ones who are different

 "Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They invent. They imagine. They heal. They explore. They create. They inspire. They push the human race forward. Maybe they have to be crazy. How else can you stare at an empty canvas and see a work of art? Or sit in silence and hear a song that's never been written? Or gaze at a red planet and see a laboratory on wheels? We make tools for these kinds of people. While some see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." — Steve Jobs

am back, hopefully for good

so its been long, am surprised whoever is behind blogger hasn't deleted this blog as they did my last one. but am back, for better or worse,because like a certain wise person once said,writing calms me down, even if sometimes am just writing down my graduation list, which is in a week btw, so congratulations to me  i guess.
as long as am here, i might as well wish my non existent followers a happy new year. enjoy it ghost readers, for apparently this is the year the world ends, or if some one had their way, the year the world ends for the kardashians.

but on to the new year's resolutions: like i wrote in a certain blogger's comment section, my 2012 resolution is all about being passionate, fearless and less controlling and most importantly, stepping out of my comfort zone. there's been too much of the same in my life,and although the years continue to rush by like the devil himself is after them, inside i feel stunted; and that feeling of wastage of time, of no progress being made, of lack of growth scares me and drives me insane, because despite our obsession with staying and acting young, i refuse to become one of those fixated middle aged women.however, i do plan on fully enjoying the cinematic experience that is ' young adult'.

"those who resist temptation invariably live depressingly stunted lives'


so yes, twenty twelve is all about personal growth-falling, getting up, falling down again.

as well as taking my commitment to this blog more seriously. am sorry blog, for being unfaithful.from now on,am kicking my commitmentphobia to the curb, and renewing my dedication to you 100%. may we weather the storms as strongly as angie and brad, or jay-z and B

the power of a name/reputation

Because it is my name! Because I cannot have another in my life Because I lie and sign myself to lies! Because Iam not worth the dust on the feet of them that hung How may I live without my name? I have given you my soul; leave me my name!
John Proctor, The Crucible

MIREMBE COLLECTIONS AT AFRICA FASHION WEEK

We’ve already seen Gloria Wavamunnos luxe collection, that while showcasing true talent, is simple enough so that every piece is wearable and not too crowded with African print, giving it a more international appeal.

Another Ugandan designer who showcased at AWNY was the inspiring Miriam Nalumansi of Mirembe Collections. I have followed Mirembe Collections for a while and when it comes to making vibrant youthful one off feminine afrocentric pieces, Miriam knows what she is doing.

For their AWNY collection,Mirembe collections gave their creativity free reign and went for the vibrant, the dramatic, and the sophisticated. As a result, show stopping gowns, jackets,pants and little African dresses ensued, all done in an exciting and unconventional mix of colours ,textures and cuts.

Their AWNY collection showed a more confident and bolder side of Mirembe Collections,which is a good thing as it makes following their future endeavours that much more interesting.

lenny kravitz steps out and makes a statement

this traditional phone head piece plugged into a cell phone and carried around is craytastic on so many levels and only works here because its lenny kravitz carrying it. but PLIZ LORD let this not be the next thing trending, am only just recovering from harem pants in-ness. although i have seen some amazing harem pants since.

BOSSY PANTS IS MY DREAM BIRTHDAY PRESENT!!!!

you know how during the britney episode in glee, rachel gets inspired by britney spears and sexes up her outfit for school and jacob  asks finn how much rachel is and that he would burn his house and sell his parents if that is what it takes to get her?

that is exactly how i feel about this book. seriously, my love for tina fey is incomparable to any other. she is so freakin' inspiring and hilarious, i want to be related to her. and i could. i mean, say i had an uncle who went to the states , fell in love with and married a white girl who conviniently turned out to be tina fey's cousin?.......i told you i was psycho about tina fey.

ps- 30 Rock, the best comedy ever!!!!! some one who creates the character of jack donaghy, kenneth parcell and tracy jordan is a genius in my book!!

30 Rock is loosely based on tina fey's experience as head writer for saturday night life.
Bossy Pants is also the first book in Lauren Conrad's book club? random, i know. 

JACKIE CHANDIRU COVERS CITYBEAT

as you all remember, overdose was a doozy. chandiru came all out, what with the python from the zoo turned into a scarf and turning into a vampire at the end of the video. the overdose video was easily the number one pop culture moment of uganda in 2010/11. therefore, when i saw her on the cover of city beat-which has been out for about three weeks,mind, so am a bit late with this post-i rubbed my hands in a mixture of glee and anticipation and thought to myself, ' what is she going to announce as plans for her next video? craddling a crocodile?' this issue of city beat HAD TO BE BOUGHT!!

unfortunately, jackie didn't say anything about co-starring with another reptile in a future video projects. however, i did find out a number of trivial things about her eg : that she is half muganda-half lugbara. also, like any normal mother, her mom was appalled by said snake in overdose video.( actually, that makes chandiru's mom very understanding; mine would just disown me). furthermore, chandiru is a very shy girl who loves attention. no, seriously, she said that. she said she loves attention but is very shy, which left both the interviewer and me very confused.
but this is why i love jackie-she is very confusing, eccentric and interesting like that.
