THE FUNNY SIDE OF QUARANTINE RULE

People be talking about heart aches, chest aches, back aches and so many other aches that are really just pointless and funny (this statement is on a light note). Have you ever experienced severe quarantine aches? Am sure after reading this you'll be wondering if this writer is OK. Hahaha...well yes am perfectly alright and after reading this you'll understand the reason as to why am all worked up and at the same time having the best time of my life.

First I'll start with a question. Did you know that going to school was a source of income? I got to learn about this immediately after the quarantine rule was issued. This clearly states that I've been broke for the past few weeks which feels like a life time.

My mother, a very strict one if I may add believes that no money should be given to anyone who is not going out, with out I mean school, so I think with this you feeling me. In a house with no WiFi connection, no money to buy bundles and no going out rule, trust me it's like am living in the old stone age period.


 With everyone now in the house, house chores is for everyone, except for mum, dad and the dotted last born. I've been washing utensils to the extent that am almost loosing it. I wish we could go back to the time when i would skip the washing part with the excuse of having a class or an assignment and avail myself when all work is done.


Ladies, when was the time you got your eyebrows done? your eye lashes clipped? The last time you got your manicure and pedicure done? The last time you got your hair neatly braided? Lol... You don't remember right?

Gentlemen, where you at? When was the last time you got a proper hair cut? People be out here looking like God knows what. "They are idle shoot your shot" , this has been the saying nowadays. Well yes we ladies are idle but we know that dry spell be hitting hard out here brosefs. We just blending in with the vibe😂😂😂.

Frankly speaking we not the only ones having a rough time with this quarantine, parents are getting the good side of it too. If your parent has not yet complained about the rate at which you glued to your phone then you got a problem.

My mother has been threatening to flash my phone down the toilet, so if you get to see me offline just know that the inevitable has happened. If you got siblings you can relate to how annoying they can get at times, as always parents don't lack solutions to all this, mine are being auctioned via the OLX platform, if it still exists that is. Houses have turned into mad villas out here 😂.

As always the funny things to do when bored can never be ignored. With this period, we got many trending activities that have been keeping us sane. Remember the anonymous messages  period? Well it ended with broken relationships, but the fun side is we got to know that we have crushes out here 😊💕. Then, the funny video clip of these Nigerian men dancing with caskets, that was just hilarious. Check this one out, courtesy of Fiona, Tinku and Liz.

The tissue challenge...this was only for the blessed ones, mine was a total disaster, next time I'll stick to my lanes. Next it was the make up challenge , with this we got to see ladies before and after make up and it also went drastic for some of the ladies too.

As always the men were not left behind for the beard challenge also came into view, for the smooth faced guys I deeply feel your pain, take this quarantine period to grow some. Lol. I got one brave guy who decided to showcase his video, heads up he has no beards so am guessing it was a different challenge. Courtesy of Einstein Pascal #Triby#.

The grand finale ended with the "Utawezana challenge", this was just something else. All these challenges done are just ways in which people have decided to deal with idleness.

All in all am sure with Kenyans, more challenges are to come up...and be sure to take part only if you can. Having fun is also part of the quarantine fun pack. Enjoy your friends and more so family time, we never know what tomorrow holds.
Stay safe, save lives, lots of love ❤.

SCIENTIFIC INVENTIONS AND INNOVATIONS (COVID-19 PANDEMIC)

Hello guys ❤...welcome back to my weekly blog update. I had stopped updating due to unavoidable circumstances but we back on track.
As always don't forget to read, comment, and share.
Lots of love.

SCIENTIFIC INVENTIONS AND INNOVATIONS(COVID-19 PANDEMIC)

Immediately after the COVID-19 virus had been detected in Kenya, most of the affected and unaffected states, knew that the country would be in total havoc, they expected that the Kenyan citizens would be filled with fear of which it's the exact opposite of what is currently happening.

It is as if the virus has brought humor to the people, for that is what it has been turned to. Creation of memes, funny music tracks and video clips is actually what's trending.

I wouldn't judge them, cause I think that is the way we tend to handle issues. Kenyans are naturally the free spirit kind of people, and trust me without the memes and video clips, this would have been one boring country. #uko na connections ama?# 
Apart from the humor and laughter, this has also brought people more closer to God and more so to each other. We see different Musicians with the likes of Guardian Angel and Rayvanny from Kenya and Tanzania respectively composing songs in relation to the virus that brings hope to the despaired.

Doctors and scientists from all over the world are trying to find a solution to this pandemic, either in the form of a vaccine or a cure to it. So this means that this is a trying time for all of us globally, hence kindness, humility, patience and love are the qualities that everyone possesses at this point.

One of the most pressing shortage facing hospitals during the COVID-19 emergency is the lack of ventilators. These machines can keep patients breathing when they no longer can on their own, and they can cost around $30,000 each which is equivalent to 3 million Kenyan shillings. Check out the link Caliz.

A team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is working on an open - source, low cost ventilator design, with the model being made using just $100 worth of parts. This will lower the cost of purchase for the hospitals in need.

The MIT team has decided that they'll publish online the design for free so that different innovators and inventors can copy and manufacture it. With Kenya being one of the Countries in Sub - Saharan Africa that is experiencing a high rate of infected persons, The Technical University of Mombasa ( TUM) has decided to take the action and also come up with the ventilators.

A team of Medical engineering students in collaboration with the Tum innovation club have taken the responsibility  to contribute to the well being of our people through a research and innovation generating and disseminating solutions to the community problem. This is a bold move for the country, for with the designed ventilators the purchasing cost for the equipment  would have been reduced and also the affected patients get the help that they need.

I quote, "Niombe, kwani maombi yangu pekee hayawezi" words from popular musician Ben sol. Lets pray for the team that have taken that initiative to help the country at large. They will be launching the prototype on April 6th 2020. I believe that their creation will bring change in the country's health sector. Find them on twitter : twitter @ tuminnovations.

These are the types of great minds that we need in the country at this time. Air out your ideas on ways that can either help curb or prevent the virus from spreading.

Stay safe, save lives, lots of love ❤.
