hello everyone! this is my fourteenth post, i think.

the title does not mean the app, it means something else completely. like me asking, "what's up" or "wazzup". you get it, right? but i prefer the Zayn Malik line-> "vas happenin?" coz it is so cool and Indian *blush* what, i like Indians! they are very likable, though i know Zayn is half Pakistani. they are pretty cool too, Indians and Pakistanis. *in Indian Accent* i salute them and if they are still fighting, please tell them to stop!

so, what's been happening in your life? well, mine has been really busy! yes, and i even have a CAT this week, so i am gonna keep this really short.

the past three or so months have been like a whirlwind to me. so much has happened that i haven't talked about. like how Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato came to Kenya, how SautiSol, Nick Ndeda and the amazing Amileena Mwenesi followed me on twitter, (NOT BRAGGING!), how seventy year old men have been getting girls preggs, how the late Mutula Kilonzo's son won the seat of senator (was it senator really? forgotten) and finally, how the Westgate Mall attack went.

wait, that is not the final detail. i forgot Miley Cyrus' strip tease and actual nudity and, oh well, i won't give her airtime. i also forgot the guys from One Direction releasing their movie,'This Is Us' and their album, Midnight Memories (lol, i don't know why my mind is thinking what it is thinking, hehe), Demi's new tour and, wait for it, my practicals and Demi having blue hair.

am i gushing too much? LOL!

anyway, those are the highlights. i will touch on each one of them, briefly. because, yes, some are emerging issues.

oh, i forgot something else-there is this new treatment for septic wounds where they introduce flies' larva that eat away rotten flesh and DON'T burrow into flesh. i said, DON'T so you needn't worry. it will help people who have Diabetes and other conditions that make wounds take forever to heal. i learnt about it on Entomology when we were studying Myiasis but i saw an article on one of the local papers last week. Either The Standard or The Daily Nation.

okay, so for the news from the headlines.

Joe Jonas and Demi Lovato Come To Kenya 
have you watched Camp Rock? Yes? No? oh well, the story of Camp Rock (sigh) it is a Disney Movie that these two acted in, taking lead roles. that is how i got to know about these two. after the second movie of this movie was shot( wait, i meant sequel) the two Disney stars dated. and it didn't end well. Demi ended up in rehab, while Joe ended up with Ashley Greene (she plays the role of Edward's sister in Twilight) and yes, it was kind of the end of their friendship.

so, they became friends again in 2012 and now they are in the same Charity! okay, not too excited but it is a feat! i mean, it is not everyday that you and your ex manage to work together peacefully. they have also worked together for the Acuvue 1 day Contest as Mentors to winners.

anyways, they are both working with a Charity from Canada called Free The Children which helps children from different countries have a better life.

no, they didn't come on the same day to Kenya, but it was much appreciated! :)

the best part, Demi celebrated her Big 21 here with her mum. isn't that exciting?!



SautiSol, Nick Ndeda, Amileena follow @Ynabeesa on twitter. 
 
yes. i know, i sound like i am BRAGGING but i am not. i swear!~ i love these people very much, and i was working really hard to catch the attention of the SautiSol lads (@SautiSol on twitter) so on my Eid-Ul-Fitr they followed me back. okay, fine, they followed me back coz i asked, but it doesn't matter. i love them for doing what they did.

Nick Ndeda (@Nickndeda) followed me back without me asking. i hope he still follows me. i am a little insecure about myself when it comes to tweeting but i got over it. i just do random. whatever decent thing that crosses my mind ends up as a tweet. :)

and Amileena? oh my. i once told you that our birthdays are just a day apart, so i said to myself, i must ask for a follow back. we would have shared birthdays if i was a little more in a hurry to get out of my mum's womb. (by the way, a big up to all mums who keep their babies and give birth to them. much love, i salute you.) i asked her and she kindly followed me back. may i say that i love her? very much? even more so now that she followed me back? I love you @aamileena


GrandFathers Making Little Girls Wives and Mothers-Pedophiles Alert!
the law of Kenya says that no one should have sexual relations with minors.

i know we tend to focus more on girls than boys sometimes, but that is because older men go around paying dowry to marry the young girls who haven't even reached puberty! where in this world have you heard an older woman marrying a ten year old boy?

i know girls these days reach puberty before they are even thirteen. even then, the law still considers anyone below eighteen a minor.

i know you are condemning the police and stuff, but the story goes like this-the rich men can do what they want, no one controls them so long as they have as many cattle as they can have which means that they can marry as many wives as they want to.

one 70year old man had the guts to say, that all his wives are now mamas (as in older, they are all mother-like) so he wants someone who is girlish. girlish means a ten-twelve year old girl.

where are the children rights activists? where are the police? i have NOOOOO idea!

some shelters have been founded but the owners are not always safe from being harassed by y the old men and the community. so they live in constant fear, but i daresay, i am so proud of them for taking that bold step. no girl, no boy, no one deserves the fate of having their dreams dimmed!

Mutula's Son Wins Late Father's Seat
when they were busy claiming that Kethi Kilonzo was not Kenyan and that she had wrong papers and stuff, and yes, they took her to court, (the case is still ongoing by the way), her brother was chosen to stand in her place instead, so that they could secure the seat that the dad died holding.

the deceased, Mutula Kilonzo, died of what many suspected was poisoning, and his daughter who is a successful lawyer, declared her interest in the seat when it was declared vacant. however, this story of her interest in the seat culminated in court house battles that left the lady looking exhausted by all the sessions and dealing with the death of her dad . . . that was quite a handful!

i was really happy when her brother won the seat. congratulations to Mutula Juniour!


Miley Cyrus and Her Comeback To The Limelight, Naked!
yes, Smileys, Miley is back. with a new album, Bangerz. it features songs with amazing vocals such as 'We Cant Stop' that was originally written for Rihanna and 'Wrecking Ball' which, i must applaud, because i cried when i heard the lyrics.

even then, she created controversy with her VMA performance that made the Smiths stare wide-eyed, made Rihanna blush, and don't get me started on how the One Direction lads reacted. oh, and Ed Sheeran backstage was like, 'okay, i have no idea what is HAPPENING!'

i was so incensed when she did whatever she did to Robin Thicke's ka-area and i told my sister that Miley must have been high. no one in their right mind could do what she did. it was really really really crazy. everyone was tweeting about it, people were twitpic-ing it, instragramming it, google+ing it, it was all over.

i couldn't understand how someone who couldn't drink alcohol legally in the USA could do that while ten year old girls in Kenya were being forced to have sex with old filthy men.

and the dust hadn't even settled yet when we got the next Miley:The Movement shock balled into our faces. The 'Wrecking Ball' video was indeed a wreck- i have nothing more to say.

i can't even think straight through this anger. i was scarred for life by her nudity. SMH


One Direction Best Song EVER and This Is Us and a new Album!
i told you i am in love with One Direction.

i said it. i am no longer a closet Directioner.

so, the lads were, and still are on tour with 5SOS (five seconds of summer-Aussie) and while at the USA, they released Best Song Ever with a really cool trailer of their movie, This Is Us

and i was like 'Best Song Ever, Best Moment Ever'

and the best part ever isn't said yet- their album, 'Midnight Memories' is out on itunes with Ariana Grande's album that is her debut.

oh my, let me stop before i can't stop.

Demi Lovato IS on Tour NOW!
i know, i know, she was on tour recently, had an album out, DEMI and right now, she is rocking blue hair, being an X-Factor USA judge while having a tour called Neon Lights.

i know it is awesome, right?

i think every Celebrity should come visit Kenya, it is a good luck charm.

oh, and did i mention that her visit to Kenya totally helped her feel like she was getting better already? for Demi, her healing is a daily thing. it means a lot when she says that Kenya made her feel a lot better. i love you DEMI, and the blue hair too!


WestGate Mall Siege
not all Muslims are Terrorists.

i say that because some of us have been getting that sort of treatment after the WestGate Mall Siege that left over 50 dead and about 175 injured.

it was a really really trying time for Kenyans, and it hurts to think that innocent people were harmed. in the Qur'an, a verse says, that the death of one innocent is the death of all humanity. it is also quoted in the movie, "my Name Is Khan'.

the siege ended but the attack on Muslims has just began. some of us fear for our lives.

do you want to know how terrorism began? it started when the children of Palestine started being persecuted. yes, Israel is doing it, and people support this massacre, but no mater what, the world should know that this behaviour is uncouth and unbecoming. please, if you are reading this, help the people in Palestine by spreading peace, and asking the government of Israel to stop the air raids it carries out on Palestine. there is no need to fight when both of them are going to lose their loved ones.

war and terrorism are tools of hate against humanity. if you are humane, you should not support the death of ANY innocents!

The Westgate victims might never fully recover from the shock and fright they experienced in there, and it might take a while for everyone to get back on their feet. because it was traumatizing, it might never really fade away from their memories.

you don't even want to start thinking of Travel Advisories.

or how broke people will be for a while.

i would rather think of how this goes, the sadness and the pain, though it is a tad depressing.

even then, we cannot bring back the lives taken. i humbly send my condolences to all the families affected by the WestGate killings and i wish the injured a quick recovery. remember, We Are One, always were, always will be!

On A Lighter Note. . .
okay, funny me is back.

and school is back!

i have been typing for close to an hour, my fingers hurt. OUCH!

school is so intense, i haven't much time for this blog, but i will try. today has been a fairytale.

and talking about Fairytales, Taylor Swift and the Jonas Brothers have been on tour this year, the latter having released a new album. (can't remember the name because i have been too busy to study up on them before this post)

and talking celebrities, Miley and Liam broke up, so did Jai Brooks and Ariana Grande. her brother attacked her ex on twitter, haha.

why am i laughing? i am supposed to be sad.

maybe i am delirious from all the typing? whatever!

so, i was supposed to mention the maggo. . . oh oh, if you are eating, i am so sorry. i meant to say, the larva of a type of fly that causes myiasis. well, this is certainly a big step in the medical field, and i am really happy about this discovery. as we all know, having a wound that goes septic and results in gangrene and eventually, amputation to save a life, is a no-no.

so, the larva eat the rotting and rotten tissue debris, leaving your wound clean and clear to heal either naturally or through a skin graft. i think this is really going to help ALOT of people!

and do you want to know the best part? the larva does not burrow into your flesh!

it just eats and leaves.

And. . . Its a Wrap!
*sigh* my back is stiff, my fingers sore,but i am happy i posted. so, read my other posts before this one to get entertained or aggravated. (kind of sounds like aggregated/aggregates. oh no. i am reading too many things about aggregates.)

so, take care and keep healthy till my next post which might not be so soon.

if you think you will miss me very much, follow me on twitter. my handle is @ynabeesa and you can also check my soundcloud (lol, i haven't posted in a month! was there yesterday to follow people back, though.)

i follow back,all the time.

~*~*~*~*
and now i have to go! it is past 10.00 am over here and i have a CAT this Thursday, gotta study, gotta study. i recommend you to watch 'Camp Rock' and its sequel and 'My Name Is Khan' if you haven't already watched it!

so, ciao!

much love,
me.
