So, it is 2010. Not that i just realised that almost three months down the year. This feels like the year i have been waiting for. I am anticipating only good stuff but still- i know bad stuff will happen. How i will deal with it, is another issue of its own.
What have i been up to?
Lots of work! What do you do when you get a great job with the weirdest working hours? 8am to 9pm- yes, it sounds ridiculous. Some have no sympathy for me! “You are not married, you got no kids, stop complaining!” they say. Should i just shush and let it be?

One, two, three, four, five, six men. One woman.
Recently I was attending one of our usual meetings at the office and noticed that i was just the only woman that day seated in the midst of six men. The previous week had had a day dedicated to women- Women’s Day- March 8.
While it was a public holiday, i had no intentions of recognising or celebrating my ‘womanliness’ as many other women pressure groups took to the streets to demand for more ‘space’ in a world full of male chauvinism.
As i sat through the meeting, all i could think of was how hypocritical this world had become. Men pretending to have the authority to give women a voice even if deep inside they know it is not their place to do that.
I thought of women who were demanding for what they already have but were too scared to realise what they have. Women have been brought up to think they are the weaker sex and have to act like it- grow up ladies!
By nature, every woman has a voice and place on this planet. I do not care that i am a woman, all i know is that i am here. I was made and brought into this world by a man and a woman- not just the man!
You might say i am lucky to have a voice and a place but we cant keep crying about how women have been denied this and that yet many of them have willingly offered to be slaves of the male species! I cry for the girl child but not for the older woman who cannot realise that this world is so big that everybody gets to breath without any other person’s help.
Just because the male species was the first on the planet and the first to speak out in the world, don’t mean the women species that was created later came with no usefulness.
I do not want to sound like a feminist but for chrissakes, Women- just get off your a**es and get to work.
