Maya Angelou - Phenomenal Woman

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Mimii's Random Rant

Today i am doing a short random rant. 

Today started pretty shitty with me looking out the window and seeing a dead decomposing rat in my back yard. So as any normal person would do i, i woke up and cleaned my backyard and burnt all that garbage that my neighbours had thrown. 

Took a shower had some crisps and crackers and i was off to work. At work all my plans were canceled thus had to look for new business. Meet a pal for shopping where we proceeded to buy sanitary pads for charity. This goes to a small school in Kikambala, to reduce the number of days that a school gal doesn't come to school due to mensuration by offering them the necessity. That made my heart swell in pride, ensureing the future of our Gal Child. 

Went for lunch with another pal, and i actually realized that Mombasa is a small town with everyone knowing everything about everyone. Now my frustrations begin. I am actually not happy with my life and when not happy i tend to make drastic changes to it. I dread what i will change, last time when i felt like this i distanced myself from pals i thought i would have for ever but u know what they say if your right hand causes you to sin chop it off. 

Well watch this space, i am in the most weird relationship if i can dare to call it that, and it has stopped making me happy. Something has got to give, God never planned for me to feel this nasty. Let me see if a shower and a drink will make me feel better about myself. 

Peace out..............

THE ELLIPTICS AWARDS GALA

Red Carpet

The long awaited Elliptics Awards Gala was on the 20^th November 2010. I traveled to Nairobi to witness this special event. Mind you I left Mombasa at 10pm, after having an eventful night at Nana’s restaurant (a story for another day).

Me n my Award lol

I was not so sure about reaching Nairobi and for the first time in many months I took a bus, I kinda enjoyed the ride, atleast the time I was awake. 

Back to the Gala, I was buying my dress n shoes at 6.30pm, yeah am a joker.lol

I arrived at The Barn on Ngong Racecourse at around 9pm. At the door was Katini n Tonyango to welcome all the guests, then a photo session, perferct for one to remember they were there. I got to take a photo with the tropy so I can brag to my pals that I got the award for Fan of they Year, Pole Millie. 

Kule n Renee

So I was just in time for the call to start eating, and who was the MC, my homeboy Kule and the lovely Renee, Dressed to kill, I must say that rugby folk clean up nicely.

Most major rugby clubs were represented, there was Harlequins, Impala ( to quote namcos – I was busy stepping on some quincakes lol), Nondescript, Mwamba, Mean Machine and other random peeps i dont know.

Scorpion - Oct 24th to Nov 22nd

Extract from http://www.astrology.com.au/12signs/scorpio.asp

 

Magnetic, elusive, sexy and determined. That’s you Scorpio! You were born under the eighth sign of the zodiac which is referred to by astrologers as a fixed water (ice) sign. In a lot of ways ice sums up your emotional character. But why is this, when you have fiery and warlike Mars ruling you?

Your star sign is probably one of the most misunderstood signs of the zodiac. It has had a pretty bad rap over the years, but that’s just because what people don’t understand, they tend to fear. That cool aloofness is just the surface of your complex nature, and is by no means bad. Below the surface of your cool exterior is a scorching and passionate fire. You know it and others sense it too.

You’re an emotional being, and you take it to the limits. In fact you need overkill to feel really alive. You also want approval, though you don’t often verbalise that. You give 100 per cent of yourself to those you love, and expect the same, if not more, in return. There are definitely no half measures in your attitude to love.

You are demanding of yourself and others, but when you give your heart to someone you’re very loyal. You are committed to anything you do, including relationships — you absolutely adore the idea of love. It’s a challenge that excites you.

Click to continue................ 

You turn heads whenever you walk into a room — you are the strong, silent type, and you have a magnetic aura. You have something that’s hard to put your finger on but makes it nearly impossible for people to ignore you. You know full well that you can manipulate people, and you love it! This magnetic power is really your greatest strength.

It’s well known astrologically that the eyes of a Scorpio can hypnotise. Whether you know it or not, this is your most powerful physical trait. Often people will often say that you have amazing eyes. So even though you don’t always articulate your feelings, your eyes do plenty of communicating for you — they can express the full range of your emotional states.

Determination is another of your key characteristics. People can see you as insensitive to others’ needs, even obsessive, because you push forward so single-mindedly. There are no half-measures in your life — in friendship, love, family life or work. You want to be the best, and you won’t let anything stand in the way.
But on the plus side, you like to share your successes with the people you take under your wing, whether they’re family or friends.

You’re not afraid of obstacles or challenges, whether they are something unavoidable or foes or competitors. In fact, you thrive on them — you love trying to prove that no one can stop you.

If someone tries to corner you or put you in a difficult situation, they’d better be prepared to give it their best shot, because you won’t give in until you win, and your enemy is totally crushed in body, mind and spirit.

If that ruthless streak in your character can’t be satisfied straight away, you’ll wait, patiently, until the proper time to seek revenge. Time is of no consequence to you when it comes to wreaking vengeance.

Whether you’re fulfilling your sensual appetites or your more noble aspirations, pleasure will always be a focus for you. You want it all. You are not afraid of the dark side, even though you seek the light. This is why Scorpio has three totems — the scorpion, the lizard and the phoenix. 




The scorpion is the most vengeful and dangerous part of your nature. If you’re operating on that level, you’ll be constantly seeking to hurt others with your power. This is, of course, something to avoid.
The lizard represents the class of scorpions who hide from life and never quite achieve the full measure of their power. They sometimes seek self-destructive outlets such as drugs or even criminal activities to satisfy their obsessive nature.

If you aspire to the best that Scorpio has to offer, you’ll be the phoenix, which rises out of the ashes. This transformative totem indicates that you have to burn your lower nature to allow the most splendid parts of your nature to live and grow. Fortunately, most Scorpios lean towards the phoenix. (this is so me)

In appearance you will be well proportioned, strong in body, muscular, and with a broad face and a commanding look. Your eyes, as already mentioned, are your strong point.

You are a tireless worker and generally achieve great success after the middle part of life.

The life of a Scorpio is challenging, but there’ll never be a dull moment.

SO WHO THINKS THIS IS ME,
