The TROTRO XpeRienCe

 


There was this day I took the trotro to some place. I have forgotten where exactly I was going. Well 'trotro' is a bus we take to any place of your choice when you are low on cash or you are on a budget or you just want to have a feel of it.

This very day I was sitting next to the mate. A mate is someone the collects the money in the trotro and calls out places the trotro is going to alert people.

I couldn't stand the odour oozing out of the mate's body. It was so bad. I had to hold my nose the whole time. Sometimes I wonder if these mates do not take their bath before they start their early morning routine. Spraying your body with perfume will even make it worse; that is what some of them do even the driver.

Personal hygiene is very important it can make or break you. Taking care of yourself is very important especially your personal hygiene. Brushing your teeth at least twice a day and bathing at least twice a day, using a deodorant after a shower are basic things one can do for him/herself.

You should never forget these things. You having a body odour can make you loose your job or your date. You can even loose friends or people wouldn't want to associate with you. 

This mate that was suffocating me with his smell, I don't know how he would have felt if I told him he was smelling or I told him he needed a bath. Hmmm....Come to think of it what would you have done if you were in my situation?




Always remember " First impressions matter and please make your personal hygiene a priority"

A PRAISE POEM

How handsome you are? Your steps are like ink dipped on paper Your muscles are well built like gigantic walls in Egypt Your lips are pinky wet like the strawberry Your fire burns rapidly in me that causes me to burn Your touch is warm and sweet like the cold weather An angel that no woman can do without An extraordinary bird that has beautiful features like the parrot Your love is pure and calm like the enchanted fairy tales And your arms filled with care like the warmly embrace of a mother

The Form One XpeRienCe part 3

 We got down and stood infront of them. I was told to go to bed since I just came today. The seniors told them to showcase their talents right infront of them. One of them sang a Jordan Sparks song titled 'No Air', another sang a gospel song and one senior said who could sing Brick and lace song 'Love is wicked'. At the time, that song was reigning and was the ish. They were just standing there, no one came forward. I was just lying on my bed and I was singing that song. I didn't know they were listening because I thought I wasn't that loud so when I stopped I realized the place was super quiet. The next thing I heard was 'form one girl get down' . I got up from my bed and stood infront of them then I was asked to sing the song I was singing. I did when I was done, I was asked to go back to bed and that was it. The next day was Saturday and I didn't know what to expect. I got to the bathroom to take my bath and I realized that the bathroom was an ope...

  Class was indeed interesting but I didn't like where I was sitting. My sitting partner was something else. The way she spoke to me I didn't like it at all. French was also boring for me at the time but I did enjoy it when I was in junior high. Wednesdays we had general assembly where all the teachers, the students and the headmistress would meet to discuss about certain things going on in the school. Saturdays was for entertainment and some times visiting. During my time, visiting happened twice in one month and it was nice. You get to eat proper home cooked meal or proper meal from a restaurant and that period was really cherished. That is the time you see different kinds of foods, drinks and snacks. It was really a time for sharing.  Sundays were church days and work days. The church is mostly held at the Asibey Hall in the morning and sometimes we would go to the presbyterian church in the town to join the community members there for service. This was done from class to c...
