PLANNING A TRIP IS HARD!!!!!

                My friend and I were planning to go to Chicago during the Christmas break, this was a really good idea as some of our friends from Westmister college were going to join us and we were looking forward to a great Christmas. Planning this trip was not as easy as we thought it would be, we needed to find an affordable place to stay and transportation. This was not an easy task as we spent 3 hours trying to make ends meet but in the end we cancelled the trip.

                 This does not mean that we are going to spend our Christmas break doing nothing in Waverly. Instead of going to Chicago, my friend and I are going to our friends in Fulton, Missourri. We are looking forward to having a lot of fun there and a great Christmas away from home :-).

                          The only problem we have is getting to Fulton!!!

THE WEATHER MAKES ME LAUGH

                 On Saturday afternoon one of my friends said to me,"The weather forecast said that it was going to snow today but I'm surprized that it's raining" and I asked her,"Do you want it to snow?" Her response was a great "NO!!!"  Her response did not surprize me at all as I knew she was going to say that because like me, she also does not want it to snow.

              Then I go into my facebook and one of my friends' status said,"The advantages of global warming: the forecast had predicted snow but it's snowing." This statement made my day as it made realise how much my fellow Africans do not want it to snow :-) I am sure it is going to snow on one of these days and I hope they have prepared themselves for it.

       I think I'm well prepared for the SNOW!!!!!!!!

FATHER-DAUGTHER SONG

             My father happens to be one of those people who love Bakulutu which is a type of Congolese music, his favourite artists are Franco and Madilu Systeme. In the whole family he was the only person who loved listenin to this type of music, although my mother loved dancing to this type of music she did not like to listen to it.

              One day I was riding in his car and out of nowhere a started singing along to the song that was playing (I was only 5 years old). My father was so happy that I could sing along to a language I did not know (Lingala) and he was happier that there was someone in the family who actually liked listening to such music. From that day to today he would play the song Basambisa Yo? by Josky Kiambukuta whenever I was in his car.

              I am so glad that this song helped me bond with my dad :-)
