Women: the real power?
TerryMay 29, 2012 0 comments


I have just read this tweet:

"@xyzjohndoe Women will never be as successful as men because they have no wives to advise them. Discuss (20mks)"> NO #thewifesadvice


First reaction: whaaat? Are you trying to say that we (women) are lagging? After calming down, I realized the tweet actually holds water.

Today my lecturer came to class late, looking dishevelled and with grandiose stains on the pits of his shirt. After class, my friend Rhoda and I were chatting to another classmate who came in today for the first time. In ‘updating’ her, we told her all about the lecturer, his family, his teaching methodology and all he had told us about himself. Her first response was “You mean he has a wife? He wasn’t dressed like he has!”We went on to explain that his wife was in the USA. 

FYI - My lecturer doesn’t always dress like that, usually he is very smart but I guess today was a bad ‘dress’ day. The new student was nothing like you’d imagine based on her comment. She is young, smart, urban and clearly upwardly mobile.

These two instances (the re-tweet and lecturer’s dressing) I think are in tandem. Whether we should let it be so or not is a whole different argument. So, we (women) rule the world, from the back end at least!

Keeping on

Doing a mental review of my 2012 resolutions. I'm doing good, yeeeah! However,,,, it seems there's one area that I'm really slacking on. I have enough excuses to justify why, or not, but I hope to get to it sooner. in fact, after I'm done with this post, mmmhhhmm.

Life's lessons
TerryMay 9, 2012 0 comments

I have learnt a lot of lessons the past month, and some enforcements to what I already know. Biggest of them all, be frugal within reason. Money is not meant to dictate what I buy or not, it is a tool (platform) that I have to enable me (and others) enjoy the comforts of life.

Travelling and living in a different culture surely widens ones knowledge and outlook in life, it has mine! so I'mma keep gallivanting around the globe.
