Trotros, Text messaging & Romance

22 Feb

Last week, my friend Kwaku Dankwa featured me on his blog; The Daily Commute. I featured this post, which got some very interesting reviews. You just might find yourself in it. I’m offering a ‘Time-back guarantee’ if it doesnt turn out to be worth your while :-)

It was a Monday night, and I was unsure as to which was worse: the frenzied crowd at the Spanner Junction bus stop or the mind-sapping traffic ahead. The expertise I used to land myself on the only available seat of that green Madina-bound Benz 207 bus could very well be a Mission Impossible stunt … but that is a story for another post. What I’m going to intrigue you with is what my curious eyes beheld on that ride.

The seat I landed was the one behind the passenger seat right beside the driver’s. I leaned forward to extract the 40 pesewas I was sure I had in one of my trouser pockets. It was nowhere to be found. More searching. It turns out it was in the corner of my laptop bag. As I reached for it, I chanced upon a glowing China-made iPhone that was in the process of sending a rather … interestingly scandalous text message. In the dimly-lit troski, I could only see the silhouette of the lady it belonged to. Read the rest of this entry »

Outrageously funny!!

16 Feb

The riskiest thing about telling someone a joke is if they don’t laugh, or ask (either by facial expression or in plain English) is that it? What does it mean? Please don’t do me like that. At least smile at the effort (hehehehe). I’ve interspersed the post with some of the most hilarious pictures I’ve seen.

The Bus-stop experience

So I’m at the Spanner junction bus stop –the one directly behind the Accra mall- waiting for a troskie to take me home. Work had been exhausting. That particular bus stop is quite narrow, so if you don’t take your time to park properly, you’ll end up blocking the approaching cars behind you (at best) or causing an accident (at worst).

The taxi drivers don’t care who’s behind them when they decide to pull over. They do it suddenly and without warning. It’s up to you to be smart enough to discern that the guy driving the taxi ahead of you is silly enough to assume that you have the driving skills to avert an accident no matter how reckless he is.

Boy Meets Girl-Clash Of The Titans IV

21 Oct

An excerpt from where we left off…

When I eventually did get off and she was about to drive off, I couldn’t help the urge. In one swift turn, I was at her door. She tilted her head, looked up and smiled “Did you forget something?” Meeehhnnn, my heart was pounding within me like it was preparing fufu for a family of fifty! “Uh..uhhmm…I think I dropped my phone…in your car” “really? I doubt, after she called you….” Then the darn phone started to ring again, from my breast pocket!!!!!! It was Mayaa.

I had the goofiest look on. She just giggled, revved up the engine, and sped off like she’d dropped a child off at kindergarten. She wasn’t going to compromise on her “Chase and you might catch” philosophy. I watched the back of the corolla so long, I memorized the license plate ‘GT 1986 Z” I turned and headed towards home, and just then I had a brainwave! Sheila might be on facebook. She must be on facebook, I couldn’t wait to find out! The walk home from the junction had never felt longer!

The facebook experience

It was 8:36pm when I got to my giant green gate. I frantically banged on it and repeatedly pressed the bell; as if the longer it took, the less likely I was to find her on facebook. Joe, my little brother took 13 eternities to open it for me; an eternity for each of the years he’s lived “Why?? Were you sleeping??!!!” I asked both sarcastically and angrily. I didn’t even wait for a response. I just bulleted into my room, throwing a ‘Good Evening’ at whoever it may concern.

My laptop’s battery had run down, so I definitely needed electricity. I was typing ‘www.face….’ when wham! ECG did it again. Even if the lights had gone off just when Ghana was going to take the penalty kicks against Uruguay, it won’t have pained me as much. “Meehhnnnn!!! Why won’t mum get a generator kwraaaa??!!!” I screamed in my head. I’d dare not say it loud, like I die! Read the rest of this entry »

SEE WHAT WE’VE BECOME…IMAGINE US 15 YRS FROM NOW.

05 Mar

I was calling a friend just last week Tuesday at around 8:30am because I’d missed her badly and just wanted to say hello, but she didn’t pick up. I got a txt a couple of minutes later that read; “hi darl, missed u bunch! making a presentation at a board meeting right now, allow me to get back to you as soon as I’m done.” Then it hit me like a stray bullet! “We’re in the next phase already”.

That Saturday when my good old friend from Presec times; TT came to visit, it was getting to the end of the conversation that I realized that almost the whole time he’d been there, we’d been talking about our CEOs, what the future held for our respective companies, the nature of office politics, strategies we were employing to advance our long-term career objectives and the like. Then it hit me even harder!!!

From the days when we used to be late to the dining hall, when we’ll frantically ask the ‘Enter-pee’ (entertainment prefect) whether he could show the newly released MATRIX at entertainment on Saturday, when adrenaline flowed through our veins at the thought of breaking bounds, when we looked forward to the next ‘inter-co’ like it was a speech-and-prize giving day, and girls in ponk (barbed hair) were the kind of girls we dreamed of .
