Of stretch marks and crazy brides...

Hiya Dolls,

Being preggo has brought on a few perks but it has also come with an avalanche of problems. My biggest is the stretch marks(am vain so sue me!). Anyhow, I knew the damage was bad but it didn't really sink in till the boy(I think we should start calling him the dad/baby daddy? Yes? No?) decided to make me stand in front of a lamp and scrutinize me for minutes on end. He was amazed at how much my body has transformed in such a short period of time but he was really shocked by the stretch marks. Understatement of the year-he was more in horror than shock!but am still in denial so i can't admit it. Weeps silently! Am all for loving your body,faults and all but lately when I look in the mirror I see an alien and this frightens me. I am worried about how I will look when it's all done, will I still love me. Too much to think about(sigh!!). But apparently when I see my little bundle of joy, it wont matter. But I want her(I don't know the sex but am rooting for a girl so we'll call it a she) to have a pretty confident mummy. So I went online to hunt for a cheap practical solution to my dilemma. Well, all I can tell you is that short of laser skin resurfacing(which is both quite expensive and unavailable in Uganda) there's not much I can do. I know most of you are screaming bio-oil..but trust me dolls. It doesn't work. But I wonder, will I at some point outgrow them. HELP!!

In other news, there's this show starting on the style network about brides competing for their dream plastic surgery procedures. Crazy,ain't it! Check it out here. Which begs the question, Would you? I wanna know what you dolls think. Me, I'd never. Am a big fat chicken! Too scared of going under the knife just for looks.

Feels good to be back.

Baby.......

Hey Dolls,

Was reading my girl's blog (http://mbabaziannet.blogspot.com/) and realised just how much I missed y'all. Well, I don't have a lot to say at moment, am just going to drop a big one on y'all. I am with CHILD. Gasp! Yawn! It's no longer so shocking! But yeah, that's what's been going on. And since I don't want to be one of those mums with baby mentionitis, I decided to just take a pause on blogging. Hope y'all are good. Be safe. Drink your school and stay in milk!

XOXO

Get a Kick Out of Kobi Levi's Wild and Wacky Shoes

If you get a kick out of super-wacky high fashion, then you'll probably love Israeli designer Kobi Levi's line of outrageously funny footwear.The freelance shoe designer from Tel Aviv is famous for creating uniquely artistic footwear that makes even the most sophisticated slipper look like a generic old pair of sneakers.

Levi's risque designs include a pair of porn-inspired "XXX Pumps" shaped like a woman's private parts and another pump dubbed "Blow," shaped like a curvy lady down on her knees.But not all his works are adult-themed. He also offers sleek, strappy sandals that have a slingshot for a high heel, a bright yellow slip-on shaped like a peeled banana and a pair of brown peep-toe pumps resembling a dog -- complete with droopy ears for the heels.

Meanwhile, Levi's "Miao 2010" style mimics a slinky kitty, his "Tongue" wedge makes it appear as if the foot is being swallowed whole by a mouth, and the "Chewing Gum" design boasts a bright pink high heel resembling bubble gum, making it look like the wearer just stepped in a big glob of the sticky stuff.

Songs about the boy...

Ola dolls,

Am in a really good place with the boy. And this should be celebrated...we never nor will we ever have a happily ever after. It's mainly me to blame because am a drama queen. I feed on drama. If it isn't there, I will create it. There's also the fact that I and the boy are so similar so we end up clashing on most things. But enough of that..we're happy now and am in a happy joy joy mood!

Song for the moment- only girl by Rihanna.

PS:Intelligent thought provoking posts coming to a computer near you. Atleast, once I stop smoking this weed called love that is making me sooo high!

Body Image Issues

Ola dolls,

Sorry I haven't been blogging as much as I would like to. Been caught up with work and clearing from University. Good news and bad news abounds.

Good news; I GOT THE JOB. Yes dolls, momma is a lucky camper. Celebration in due course but for now am letting it sink in. Making a strict budget to follow. I don't want to waste a single dime.:)

Bad news; am slowly slipping into a serious depression(God, am tired of these muzungu situations!) Anyhow, for as long as I remember, I have had strong to mild issues with my body. There was a time I couldn't eat at all cause I couldn't fathom the idea of gaining weight.(I fainted on several occasions) And then when that passed, i had to deal with the severe acne that attacked my face. But for a while now, all that has been forgotten. For the past few months I have comfortable in my skin. I glowed with happiness and love all thanks to the boy. I felt beautiful for once. But last week, the boy expressed that I was slowly but surely letting myself go. I quote,"you are losing it!" He also recommended I cleanse and watch my weight. And before I knew it, the dark cloud of unhappiness I had left behind when I was a teenager has slowly come back into my life to overshadow any sort of sunshine that might be directed my way. I haven't gone out at all this weekend. I spent it indoors, applying an aloe Vera face mask and checking my face every hour. I also haven't eaten anything but apples. Fortunately, I have decided am going to do this for me, not for anyone else. So I have set up goals and how am planning to achieve them.
Goal 1:To drop from the size 6 I currently am back to a size 4. For this am going to diet and exercise as well but mainly diet seeing as am lazy. I have given up breakfast and supper and lunch will be just vegetables.
Goal 2:To have a smooth acne free skin. I am going to go for facials every week as opposed to just twice a month. Avoid anything fried. Drink at least a litre of juice a day(I can't drink water..it's too eeeww!) Keep to my regime of cleansing, toning and moisturizing every morning and evening. Stay away from alcohol, it is the devil!
Goal 3:To look fashionable everyday. Clean out my wardrobe of anything old and tacky that I don't or should not wear anymore. Purchase a good item of clothing every month. on that note, I need more dresses!
Goal 4: Upgrade underwear. Make a purchase of matching bra and panties(according to my male friends..it's essential they match) every month. I shall not wear cheap bad materialed under wear again. I shall invest in good quality.

That's all I've managed to come up with thus far. :( AM.NOT.HAPPY

XOXO

Google wins?!

In other news;

I have gained 12kg (25 pounds!! Gasp!)

*Quietly weeps...heads to corner and slits wrist*

I have dropped out of Eaccos. I hate the tutor. I now have to content with my level 1 certificate.

FML

Update;

I made a boo boo at work...seriously, this day can't get any worse! Am going home straight from here. I don't want to tempt fate into being cruel any further.

Lets talk about sex..Part 2 (Advanced Masturbation!)

Ola dolls,

So I have been asking around about sex and I landed on this hot cake of a topic.

What do you guys think about sex without a condom? According to one of my friends (male, I need to specify) thinks you have not had sex until it is without a condom. Apparently, sex with a condom is advanced masturbation! Then I remembered an advert that was on TV awhile ago about a man who had refused to use condoms. His reason was why would one eat a sweet while the wrapper is still on. I was baffled. Do people no longer fear AIDS and other STI's? Unplanned pregnancies? Have we gotten so comfortable with the idea of ARV's and cocktails of other drugs as well as abortions?

And whose responsibility is that the there is a condom during proceedings? Is it the girl, the boy? It's a jungle out here. Am thinking we as women should make it our duty that there's an "umbrella" cause am sure the effects of unprotected sex affect us the worst. But then the story of the girl who was dumped because her fiance thought she was promiscuous for having condoms in her bag comes to mind. What to do? Am going to ask the boy about this.
