Anonymous asked HAPPY BIRTHDAY AUDREY! Have a wonderful day! You are honestly such an amazing person, and I love you so much. xoxo. - Gossip Girl
I just realised that I thought I spoke to this person on my birthday so I never replied. But now I’m not sure if it was that person, lol. So THANK YOU! :)

The Last Thing Africa Needs is Your Pity →
By Muturi Njeri from Kenya. Like Jesus, and my ancestors, I love to think and speak in parables and fables; they teem with a rare brand of wisdom; the kind found not in large libraries but deep wit…
As we look through the looking glass this April, we picture the continent in some desirable state. Yet still, it’s never enough to keep envisioning. Action and hard work is needed. It is common to hear cries for political leaders to back their words with action. But to some, real change is from the people. In recognition of World Autism Awareness Month this April, Rise Africa met up with Dislabelled; one of such change makers for a chat.
Dislabelled is a non-profit initiative which seeks to reverse the notion that people with varying intellectual and physical challenges are unable to be a productive part of society. The initiative seeks to achieve this by reforming the special education and employment systems in Ghana.
say my name say my name
Drake is doing thee damn thing this magic hour, and I’m loving me some Drizzy. mmmhmmm
musings of an aspiring, young writer.: "I hope you know that now that you have a blog, you have to do a birthday post for us" →
(Pressure!) This is not a birthday post. Otherwise, I’d be 48 hours late without good enough reason and Audrr would have blasted me by now. This is just a toast to two of the most amazing people I have ever known and will forever be grateful for, my realest homies, loves, only triplets (yes, I’ve…
My loves. We need to take a better picture though :)
If I let to-do lists have their way, this blog will die. I’ve been up to a number of things lately; slightly occupied, and as usual, occasional internet connection issues. But anyway, yesterday was my birthday. I was willing to let it slide, and leave no traces of it on my blog, but I have such cool friends, I can’t pass this chance to shout out to them. I think of them and it keeps me aware of how privileged I am. I was expecting a rather quiet one, since most of them are not in Ghana, or on my time zone. Interestingly, Facebook was the only silent part of the day.
I hardly wish be people happy birthday, (or more appropriately “hbd”) on Facebook or social networks in general but it was quite awkward when I had no notifications all throughout the day. It didn’t make me feel any less loved or happy, but I just couldn’t understand how not a single person (of three hundred and something friends) wrote on my timeline. I had a few wishes in my inbox, but the timeline was just dry. By the end of the day, I was pleasantly surprised with a collection/anthology/library of raps and freestyles and complete music videos (watch this).
I remember when I used to daydream about having a surprise party back in high school. I thought I was just fantasising. I didn’t even think they were listening, but after surprise birthday parties, two years straight, I can only say I have friends you should be jealous of. Yesterday, I was pleasantly surprised with a dinner I thought was going to be for two. The “I-had-no-idea-this-was-going-to-happen” kind of surprised. I enjoyed it. All the way past midnight. And in the words of one of my reallest homies, there’s “no need for facebook, no? we’re grown past that.”
Finally, a shout out to the real birthday girl, my twin. Happy Birthday, Audrey Audesh Kukua! You’re a star!
Happy Birthday Kobby :)
Yesterday was siblings day. Shout out to this brother of mine. Making me laugh and terrorizing my life from day 1.
Work Ethic
(Doesn’t it seem like I always write one post then vanish for months?)
I admire people who work hard and love to see them receiving the benefits of their dedication. I try but would never consider myself one of the hardest workers. But I look at some people and their lifestyles and begin to think I might even be doing too much. Maybe I’m just bitter.
I started college a semester after the academic year started, so for me and all other spring students to graduate with our class, we have to either take extra classes at more than one point in time or bring credit in from before we started college. Now I’m one of the lucky ones who had credit to transfer over and graduating in June and not in December is never by force; education is not a race. But when spring students are taking 5 classes and are still behind and you, also a spring student are casually taking 3, I cannot understand. By taking less subjects, you have more time to spend on each and put in more for each subject right? So how do you not and instead are always complaining and then tell someone, “I only put effort into things I care about and I don’t care about [academics]?”
People would love to be in your position! People have worked tirelessly to get into a school like this but aren’t here. If you have the opportunity to be here, at least put in some effort. Like I said, maybe I’m bitter because all my professors load me with work and I constantly have quizzes and exams and it looks like you picked the subjects with the least assignments. Maybe it’s because you manage to get 10 to 12 hours of sleep a day, if you don’t watch too many episodes of some series that night. Maybe you’re just smart and don’t need to put in work. It seems as though we’re not in the same school.
Chale, it’s my bitterness lol

Our reactions to rain
In America: Eww it’s raining. Ugh it’s so wet. This weather is nasty. What is all this fog? I hate rain. Eww -__-
In Ghana: Yes it’s raining! Ah I love the smell of rain! Perfect sleeping weather. Perfect relaxing weather. Baby-making weather ;) I love rain!
