Singing in a Foreign Language
Growing up, my parents sent my siblings and I to a private school which was very strict with English and taught us using the British curriculum. When we get in through the gates, we weren’t supposed to speak any vernacular language. I grew up looking down on my mother tongue for most part of my […]
Let Me Feel
It’s been very hot the last couple of days. It was so hot that I even started to forget that it may rain. In the morning, I had a list of groceries to buy. Mum asked me to pass by the maize mill and collect some bags of gaga. “Aunt” (the maid) put it out […]
Walk Down Happiness Lane
Happy 2018!!! I finally got round to doing a check-up after I was diagnosed with pneumonia 3 months ago. This involved half of my right lung heavily infected which may have begun while I was doing a survey in Lilongwe. The x-ray shows that both of my lungs are functioning well again. I am completely […]
Church: a Hospital for Sinners.
Over the weekend, I had a stomach bug that terribly weakened me. My dad and my friend Martha rushed me to MASM here in Zomba. There, we were directed to the nurses station, and I was put under drips and given some medication. I was also being monitored, so I was there for hours. Not […]
All things bright and beautiful
Colour. Nothing I love more on an outfit than colour. This blog post combines my post on colour and that on African print . The weather forecast made me feel so down because there was a good chance it would be cloudy and it would rain ? so I decided a bright outfit might cheer me up. […]
Wedding Guest: African Print
So, yesterday my mum just sprung news that we have to attend a wedding that we got invited to, and that she forgot to tell us earlier. I literally had very few minutes to get ready but thank God I had this dress I had made some time back, that I thought was perfect for […]
Witnesses
When I was young, about 7 or 8, there about, my brother and I followed my cousin Richard to wherever he was going (I don’t even remember) because I wanted to walk somewhere. We were walking down the Zomba Mental Hospital road, and I happened to cross the road, and a bicycle ran into me. […]
Sun Fun and Colours
Hi loves! I stepped out again and decided it was a maxi dress kind of day. It’s so sunny this side at the moment, and what better way to enjoy the day than with colours and some denim? The dress is a spaghetti strap maxi dress. Ugh, I hate the fact that most maxi […]
The Shortest Verse in the Bible
My Sunday afternoons are usually reserved for naps. There’s something about Sunday afternoons that just demands being indoors, in your comfort zone. Unfortunately, I couldn’t seem to sleep today. To make it worse, my sister was in the room and it’s not easy to shut up when we have a thousand stories to share with […]
Chiffon Blouses and Black
Yay to my second post on modest style dressing! This was my first time outside after about two weeks, so I was very excited, though I only managed to put this outfit together last minute. I bought the material at Fabric Centre in Limbe. The shop stocks a whole lot of beautiful material […]
