*phew*
January is finally gone! With it went many lives courtesy of Nakumatt and Tanker huko Molo. The former had me shocked than the latter. Imagine you are on your way home on an afternoon and all of a sudden, you have a craving for an ice cream or a soda. You decide to hop in a supermarket, once inside an explosion –and the supermarket transforms to a crematorium, the next thing, you are incinerated to ashes! The Molo tragedy was different. Blame it poverty or what not – it should not have happened. January also went with GTV. WTF, how do they close shop without a notice? DSTV had better get all those damn rights soon! January also disappeared with a “talk for less” promo by sufferincon that has me thinking its time I vukad!
Well, now February is here. Many are eagerly waiting for its 14th Day to celebrate one useless ‘holiday’ that has never made sense at all to me. I have my reasons why I do not engage in the celebrations. Everything will be red! I have had a phobia for putting on anything red since I was a small kid. A phobia instilled by my colleagues then – that lighting could easily strike me and to date I still believe that! However, that is besides the point… Why should anyone allocate a day for expressing feelings be it romantic for your mom or dad? Isn’t love a feeling to express throughout the year? If you are seriously in love, you do not need this day to spend hefty amounts on flowers and expensive cards.
AOB
If you were born on a February 29, when would you be celebrating your birthday? March 01st or 28 Feb? Do you turn a year older after 4 years? I have a teenage girl cousin who has been pestering me every February and have no idea what to say to her.
Mboiz, I have already vukaaad, not only that, I am going to buy an Orange line (hope they are still one bob for Orange to Orange) coz I can’t afford to contribute to Suffericons billion profits anymore.

January ended badly, but was good compared to last year, even on the business front.
About Valentines, I think it’s too much pressure for nothing, so I lump it together with all the other ‘holidays’.

Despite your criticism of this useless holiday, just forget it and you tell me what she says or does to you. Men have always been slaves, just make her happy man, hata kama ni shingo upande. I also don’t believe in it or like it, but what choices does one have sometimes?

Now that Jimbambie is over I too am feeling the pinch. I dont even remember my Zain line number.
Seems like our August moved to January! All the tragedies starting last year is what we used to experience in August.
What bores me to death is the hype and the over commercialization of the Feb 14. I will not be blackmailed, arm twisted or whatever means used to get me to do anything on that day. Its me having a day like any other. All the talk about red chocolates and flowers is nauseating.
On Feb 29. My immediate former was born on that day. I too dont know like when to wish her a happy birthday. But am so glad I will not since I deleted all those old files phone numbers just to move on.

The feeling is the same for all SufferiCON users. We use, but abuse and abuse, but continue using. I know dozens, not to mention myself who ‘Vukad’ Only to end up using Safcom and start cursing ourselves for not using them, then our friends for not ‘Vukaing’ with us :’(
That’s the kind of drama that keeps psychiatrists and therapists busy.
