MISTAKES MADE BY A WOMAN IN LOVE

In my early ages of being a teenager, I found out that my education life is suffering due to pressure of finding a companion of the opposite sex to call my own. Friendship with male counterparts became so due as all we could discuss were women. This was in pure search of the real meaning of love. The principles I had were never to be driven by what my friends wants me to be but concentrate on my education till the right time I would meet someone who I would call my love.
She made herself believe that she will not be loved if she does not get the outfits that are in fashion at that particular time. Going for an outing, would make many women think they need the best jeans that would make a man see her sexy. That will mean buying expensive clothes and jewelers enough to make her not lose the man in love with her now.
The latest demand of them all has been the topping up issue. The coming of cell phones has made men never to live with no airtime, that is to call their lover and say I love. This becomes hard when the lover is leaving quite a distance from where you stay. The struggle here is when you call her she thinks you always have enough to share with her.
Some men are too shy to talk love on the phone and they prefer to communicate through SMSes. This though has proved to be a hard way of communication as the SMS will circulate to all friends of her for them to know how much they are loved.
Another challenge has been who is to foot the bill when you go out for an outing. It has become a tendency that women would believe a man is the money fetcher and is supposed to.

MALAWI CAPITAL CITY GAINS

There are not many people who live in Lilongwe who really lives the breeze of Lilongwe city to the full. If you ask a Lilongwelian where the best shopping mall is, hardly will they explain to you with no struggles. Suppose you are entering Lilongwe for the first time either from Mzuzu or Blantyre-the quickest conclusion you will draw is that-there is no life in Lilongwe. But is it true?

I have taken much of my time recently visiting some of the exotic places in the capital city in as far as shopping is concerned and realized that apart from spending you money on beneficial items of your life-rather needs and not wants, you add fun to the whole affair.

First I set out to visit, the foodzone. Situated right if you are coming from Mchinji, district bordering Zambia at crossroads hotel. The place is a must go area. It has wonderful stuff on display. From food to lotion and house utensils to the bathroom needs. I pushed the trolley walking every step through the shop. At the end I was satisfied with what was on display. I left the shop without buying anything though things are so affordable. But my most intriguing moment was the why the name Foodzone when I cant sit down and eat anything on the verandah or backyard of the shop. Then I realized that just a stone throw from the shop there is a pizza inn. The place is so exotic.

Then I decided to drive to biznowaty complex, I know you will say its not a complex. If you ask me I call it that because you won’t find one thing at that place, you need internet cafĂ©, food, fuel, ziboliboli-name them. Looking at my back, there is a centuary. A place full of different species of animals and people. I am not saying people live there, but it’s where lovers meet. Hardly will you see a man alone without a girlfriend or a wife by the side at this place.

All I wanted was a fully cheap place where I can buy house things that can last me a month. After I enquired, someone told me chipiku was the place. So I drove back to old town-Paul kagame road and the car park was full. I knew here is the place. The rest I will wait till you tell me.

I love attention. There is nothing that irritates me more than having to stand in a long queues and wait to be attended to by a receptionists who could not be bothered by my exhaustion. That’s one thing that worried me at the visit to this place, I can’t blame her since people were too many but I saw some tellers there with no people and asked myself what is the unemployment rate in this beautiful country? I almost walked out of this shop without buying anything yet my trolley was full!

There is also fun at mamamia, if you are in Lilongwe don’t miss this place just situated close to Lilongwe hotel also on paul kagame road. Somewhere there.
