When It Rains, it pours

I guess i can tell you guys something that happened to me last week. I was unwell when i sat for the exam. And i was cursing womanhood the entire time. So i sat for the exam, despite the fact that i was feeling unwell.*** So, guess what a huge surprise i got today... Yes, i was thoroughlly surprised to find i'd gotten really low marks. The last time i had marks these low was during drawing, and also IRD. The biz course. Even when im sick, i NEVER really fail a CAT. My penmanship always gets me out of tight spots. *** Clearly, today isn't my day. I have my duties as a group leader to play, and my other role as the happy-go-lucky girl who loves veing happy... *** I NEED A BREAK. I really do

Exhilaration

well, my silence can well be explained. First, i went to a studio and recorded for the very first time. Then, i got to go to a wedding, and i looked so pretty! then, i made my way through a cold and now... yes, i am still freezing.

I don't really have much to say, coz i have a CAT tomorrow.

I am excited though. I will do a short 'interview' here. Kibanya aka Kigs, this is for you.

oh, by the way, i am signed to Edge Records. And my twittah is @Ynabeesa and you can totally find me there. Okay, not sounding creepy, but, yes its like my official twitter for the future.

okay, so here is the 'interview'
~*~*~*~*
Interviewer will be represented by the italics. my answer will be bold.

I: Hello, you're Zainab and you have recently done a stint with Kibanya G of Edge Records. How is it going?

Me: Hello I! Its been going great! i am still feeling like a firework over here. (Remember Katy Perry's Firework...)

I: Tell us something about yourself

Me: i love music?

I: rather obvious. Anything the world doesn't know?

Me: i am actually scared of microphones. i don't know why, i just am.

I: can you dish anything about your future plans?

Me: yeah. first, i need to read for my CAT on Solid waste, its tomorrow. today is Thursday, right? I would like to do more music both for my soundcloud and for the label. wow, i sound really professional!

I: You like the Jonas Brothers, right? (Zainab nods) well,Tell us something about Jonas Brothers?

Me: well... i was heartbroken when they broke up, yah know? anyway... did you know they are actually brothers?

I: who doesn't know that?

Me: eh... maybe someone? (winks)
 
I: What would you describe your sound as?

Me: i am, in love with what Demi does. And i think that's pretty  much a sum-up. i love Teen pop, soft rock, RnB, some rap that has to be clean. i still wonder what House Music is though...

I: What do you think when you are standing behind the mic in studio?

Me: Oh My God... i just might mess out... Now i am totally freaking out!

I: Do you think anything of the Kenyan Music Industry?

Me: well, they play Demi these days... (smiles sheepily) and i must say its changing. with people like Marly's Flaw, Nick Ndeda, Just a Band, Kibanya G... there is so much more we can do. I will admit i have a bias towards Rock, but that's coz it was the only decent music i grew up listening to. I am a little reserved with Hiphop rap coz yah know...cuss words...

I: What are you doing now?

Me: updating my blog... studying... fake talking you after inventing you... hey, can i go? i'm super tired!

I: (shaking head) well, that was Zainab in studio with us. Do you have a stage name yet?

Me: i don't. not planning on having one either... Sorry. That's just me! (singing) Who said, i can't wear my converse, with my dress, oh baby, that's just meee...! (fades off)

I: Bye!

~*~*~*~*
Yeah, laugh all you want... i admit i am a little insane! Bye Hipstas! that song i ended with was a Demi Lovato song called 'La La Land'. Ok, bye!

Diary Entry 9: Stop And Stare

I've been a little startled by the amount of attention i've been getting in the recent past. You know, the suggestive looks random guys throw at a girl? Yes, they are very disturbing. And do you know what's even more disturbing? Wait for it... Being talked to by one of these random guys!*** Honestly speaking, if I don't know you, I am NOT going to call you. Let's just say, I don't REALLY talk to strangers. Especially suspicious characters. So, if you're kind of shady, don't expect ANYTHING from me. My mama taught me better than that. *** If you got good intentions, or none at all, we are good! (That's just for the record. I follow my guts, i am woman)*** So, it has me wondering, why are people staring at me everyday? Everytime? It never used to be that way. I have always tried to blend into the background. I tend to be a "Behind-The-Scenes" person. I am not much for appearances, personality gets me ALL the time. If my clothes are decent, my face okay, no weird make-up, why ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME?! Just stop!

Diary Entry 8: Money Money Money

Its true, money runs THE world. I have spent a few days with people who, well, run on money. It made me wonder about all the things money can do. *** Money buys everything, from school fees to health care, and even some happiness. Inebriated happiness, to correct myself. By that, i mean being drunk. No, okay, maybe yes, Ed Sheeran style. *** But in MY world, money is the LEAST of my priorities. Okay, its not the first, but that's a something, right? Yes, i have to buy bundles to post this post, but for me, it seems like i have too many thoughts running through my head. Like, how to do dishes. Yup, how to do dishes. *** I know money is the root of all evil. And sometimes, its good evil. Yes, like keeping a terminally ill person alive. That's good evil, right? HOW? The money is evil, but its use is for a good cause.*** Maybe there is more than just, "its evil", huh? I think i've given you something to think about.*** Just for the record, you need no money to have fun. Yes? No? I believe. If you don't, oh well!
