Generous January

The economic crisis is biting hard into the business fabric of Uganda, fuel hoarding is the order of the day, and child sacrifice seems to be fashionable. But 2009, I insist, will be a great year. Its only January and I can attest to that, in faith that the other 11 months will not produce a pivotal anti climax.

Okay, so I made ..........years yesterday. Let's just say it's safe to say am 17. And as the birthday gifts streamed in, the big one was yet to be unwrapped. 8:00pm. Anonymous call. "You're talking to someone young, rich and handsome." Don't we all wish!!!!!!!! Long story short, I was offered internship at Uganda's leading daily, the Daily Monitor. Watch this space, the next time you read the paper, my name shall be used in the byline.

Its not just me there you know, but five other writers from the Ivory Post. We shall continue to propel more gifted writers to bigger fish.

Long live Facebook 'cause without it I would not have received the tonnes of birthday messages and gifts I did yesterday. One of the messages came with a special attachment, an invite to visit China. Beijing, Xinghua, Shanghai....................here I come.
