I am glad we are friends... we would make lousy enemies!




 

First a toast to 9 or 8 years of a great friendship!  Wah! Tunazeeka. 
by Glam for miss G

Just another day we met in Daystar, May 2006, PAC  court, Grace looking all mature and classy and me with my rural swag all ready to have a great time in campus (which we sure did) and get Degrees, (of course which we also did -with no single referrals.) *things not to take for granted*




Any who am excited and off course honoured to be the first guest blogger on this very random blog. (Actually am surprised she agreed to this, but then again she doesn’t say no often, at least not to me)
lets gets started, with a disclaimer, am no writer, well at least not a social writer so be sure you will not bump into a joke in this post. In my works we are all about strategic objectives and impact *a moment to worry about all the proposal deadlines staring at me fiercely*.  I digress (there will be lots of those instances, so buckle up)

Oh. Pardon my PR (daktari hajitibu) My name is Glam and if we were 12-13 or there about, Miss G would be my best friend and we would have those BFF pendant chains:) 
(Stella, Mwendwa, Ed Gicovi, Grace Kelley, Francis, Sakayo if you are reading this, let us sort out this during the next sleepover, which I will not be attending, am too Lil Kim for that) Did I digress again already? Back to Glam. Before you ask what kind of creature refers to herself as...ok bla bla bla my official name is Joyce (Joy Ce I prefer) and this is just a cruise down memory lane of the lives and times (plagiarism nayo) of G & J; as friends, good friends and business partners. Can we try out a list of fun, random things we have done together-in our early 20s? Or better still a table (inside joke- never mind)




1. Taking a very random 3 day road trip to Arusha on a very tight budget. (5k to be precise) what were we thinking? But that was fun and random. Ruth is quite the life of the party & I want your small sister’s wardrobe.
2. Spending all our cash on Galitos or Java chocolate fudge cake then calling Sakayo (such a darling) to bail us out cause we are stuck in town. Again, what were we thinking.
3.  Taking one hour to get to the library then spend another 1.5 working on a to do list another 30 minutes of Miss G summarizing the to do list then we realize it 10pm and the library has to close down!  But we are pretty smart we still managed to get the 3.+GPAs, most times, sometimes ok. Tmi.
4. Walking door to door Hurlingham looking for internships. I remember this is when we conceptualized Lime Etiquette - Royal Etiquette. Oh sweet Lime!
5. Ice skating, having conversations that no one else would understand …




Before we go all PUI (inside joke 2) here is my grand conclusion. *Server loading* *server error* take 2. In conclusion, Miss G. Cutie/ queen of summaries and  'Glam stop texting in short hand' speaking of which it shocks me that even when you were a teenager you still, used T9 (how now) I digress. Grace is an inspiring, beautiful lady, grounded, with some insane positive attitude in life I don't know you manage that, always smiling and infecting people with the good cheer.  You are simply amazing. Always taking life easy. Never getting angry. Grounded in her Christianity. Fun. Fun. Waits. Lets capitalize that and probably bold it. FUN! 





Oh no! I owe Grace cake for her 21st birthday. Auuuwi (vernacular scream - you can take the girl out of the village but the village is deep within me) cake. Haya. Added to my 2014 list. Now if only we would start planning the wedding. Your man is God sent. Francis, Salut!  Reminds me of my situation … Glam husband applications open (sema free advertising)


Keep smiling, keep shining
Knowing you can always count on me, for sure
That's what friends are for
For good times and bad times
I'll be on your side forever more
That's what friends are for

-Dione Warwick's song







 Remember we have our 2014 'to-do-list' do not summarize it please (inside joke 3)

Much love, 
Glam
