Didn't make it to San Diego for the 7's this year. Just waiting to hear all about it from buddies who went. I first visited the city a number of summers ago and was so impressed. Stayed in the Gaslamp quarter, went to Balboa Park and Coronado island. Also crossed the border to Tijuana for a day trip; ate delicious food and drank lots of margaritas. Walking down the streets, some people would smile excitedly and yell out "Moesha", it took a while to figure it out though. I guess Brandy was the most popular black female in Tijuana at the time. It was amusing coz nobody looked like her. I'd rank San Diego as one of the best places to live in the U.S. out of the cities I've visited.
This weekend was somewhat productive: worked, finished an essay, and went to an Anti-Valentine's Day party. Of course there were couples:)The buddies who hosted it always have the greatest themed parties and they have a cool crowd of friends so you're sure to mingle with interesting people. In fact, I met a girl who lives 2 blocks away from me. What sucks about Valentines is that if you're a single female and everyone around you is getting flowers and chocolates delivered then you'll be wishing someone would send you some. (Come on admit it!) And if you're part of a couple (esp. a new one), the expectations may not be clear especially for dudes. If the guy doesn't do anything, he'll risk pissing of the chic coz it's seems that he's not acknowledging the relationship. But then again if he's a romantic and goes all out, maybe the chic doesn't even care for the whole flowers-chocolates-dinner routine. Seems like a sexist day, coz what gifts do the guys get?
I'm so into the song "Nibebe" by Nyota Ndogo featuring Nonini. Nyota Ndogo has such a beautiful, melodic voice. I read her life story (can't remember the link) about her family struggles and her journey to stardom. She deserves all the success coming her way.
By the way, there's a really catchy Kenyan song that goes "Najua unaipenda unaitaka pia..." Does anybody know who did it?

enjoy.
I am too broke at the moment to go for any sevens tournament unless it is in my neck of the woods.
LMAO at the moesha comments, kwani you have braids like her or what?
I am not doing any vals or anti-vals bashes this weekend. It is work as usual. For us men, vals is never a big deal because we are always on the giving end or suffering if we didnt give enuff or what was expected.
@Egm,
It must be a relief not to have to deal with all the b.s. surrounding Valentines.
@No rhyme no reason,
Thanks!
@3n,
I'll check it out. Asante:)
@Acolyte,
Brokeness kept me away too.
I didn't have braids during that trip, don't remember if someone else did.
Valentine's is annoying because even if you don't care, it's all in your face. Balloons and hearts all over the place.
Everyone went overboard at this office for Valentine's Day!! People's hubby's sent two bouquets of roses..kwani one does not suffice?? Okay, I'm officially bitter..QLM!!
