FRIENDSHIP



You meet someone, you think she is pretty or not the average type of girl that only talks about purses and clothes, and then you are suddenly drawn to her, you think about going shopping with her or doing all the things that “girlfriends” do together. The beautiful thought that you could have a companion of the same sex, just hang out with you. I mean just bond over ice cream and gossip about anything at all that comes to mind.
No! It’s not really like that. Is it?
Is there really someone out there for everyone who does not think about sex or attraction, does not conform to societal pressure like everyone else, and is of the same gender?
Is there ever really someone out there for everyone that, the person could wake up in the middle of the night and just call or talk to and laugh about nothing, someone who is not a sexual partner who you could love like a sister / a brother and know without a doubt that the person has gotten your back 100%?
I grew up not really being a fan of the “friendship gang” type of relationship with girls, where there was a Queen bee everybody had to worship. It was pretty much annoying when in high school, the order of the day was being left out in everything because you didn’t belong. 

High school was a BITCH!
I was mostly left out of everything because I was different, and being different in our world was "weird". Through it all, I turned out alright and I love the strong, independent and outspoken lady these experiences have turned me into.
 I don’t know if there is anyone out there for me, but what I know is that I have made it through these "solitary" years and I have survived the lust of necessarily having a female friend that I could call mine, one I could sync or connect with, someone that will accept me just the way I am and love me like I was a sister regardless of my flaws.

Having someone to call a friend can be cool and amazing but don't let not having one decide your level of happiness.

THE FIRST TIME!

Silence I just loved the silence. Everyone had left for prep and I was more than overjoyed as I sneaked back into the dormitory to hide from “the killer Bee” – the strict housemistress. I removed my clothes and changed into my morning coat. “I am gonna take a long shower and sleep until there is no tomorrow”. I said to myself. “It is Friday. Why did I have to show up to that stupid prep anyway? I thought Just then the dormitory door flew open and a figure made its way to my corner. Fear gripped my heart. “Omg, she has found me”. I couldn’t breathe. As the figure crept nearer my eyes began to scan my surroundings for a place to hide. I was too terrified to make any sudden moves so, I did what anybody would do. I closed my eyes, stood there, and hoped that the ground would just open up and swallow me. “Kukua is that you?” I heard someone say.    I knew that voice. It was just Vera. Sigh “You just gave me a heart attack,” I said amidst giggles. It was her...

NETWORK WAHALA

So you see how I complain a lot about how Internet sucks in Ghana.....well in came Vodafone X to help me calm down just a bit. I've used every major network in Ghana and compared their bundles and Vodafone X's value for a poor man like me was unfortunately the best. On a good day, I buy 10GHc for 1.2 GB data for a month plus unlimited Twitter, Facebook, and WhatsApp. On a bad day, it's 5GHC for 500MB of data for a month plus unlimited Facebook, Twitter, and WhatsApp. Compare to every other major network in Ghana, these figures are far, far better than their existing consumer bundles in value and cost.  In my insatiable thirst for more data and more bandwidth, I came across MTN's unlimited bundles, where you pay 150GHC a month for unlimited cheese-balls but then find out that they are surreptitious cheats because, after using 5 GB they throttle your speed down to a miserable snail with polio. Then I came across another offer for unlimited data which amazed me in...
