| The colours of
adoption |
| Timothy David Sanyu Jenkins came to Rocks and
Roses cafe carried by his nanny. As soon as he spotted his father,
he started fidgeting. And once by his side he fussed until he
was put on the lap. |
| Tiles create a
new world |
| They certainly do make a difference. Well, they
may take a bit of cash and no doubt, a lot of creativity. But
if you can afford it, say bye to plain floors. |
| Then these lunch
hour fellowships |
They are the same joints you go to at night
and order for your bello. But drop in between midday and two
and the hallelujahs coming from there will stop you in your
tracks. That is something we love to do; praise and worship
the lunch hour away. |
| Behind the wheels
|
| Men, they say, are mostly crazy about two things
- women and cars. The latest craze for Kampala's nouveau riche
is the Nissan Hardbody Pickup. |
| Mesmerised at Rock
Gardens |
| Rock Gardens! I had always heard the lurid tales
that abound at Rock Gardens, how it teems with the most beautiful
women from the entire Great Lakes region; and how, eh …
|
| Women and shoes,
don’t ask |
| I once heard a story about a guy who was accustomed
to having extra marital affairs in his car. I guess it was less
expensive compared to having to rent a room for all those one-night
stands. |

| Paint a new
life for your home |
| Okay, so you have done everything that you need
to do about your beautiful home. Just when you sit down and
hang your legs up in relaxation, you notice the walls are so
dull, they could kill your mood. |
| For God or
wealth? |
So, what is the big deal behind the pastors'
immense wealth?
It is certainly not a question of corruption or brainwashing
the congregation as many prefer to think. |
| Experience
the O! |
| My computer recently slowed down to a snail's
pace. I would click on Microsoft Word, make a cup of tea, prepare
a peanut butter sandwich, write my to-do list and find the programme
still debating whether to open or not. |
| In bed with
a stranger |
| If anyone had told me a few weeks
ago that I would share a bed with someone I had seen for only
two days, I would bet my left nipple. |
| Get set for
Blue Africa |
A new Restaurant in the revamped Crested Towers
is soon to open.
Blue Africa adds a new dimension to the expanding number of
five-star restaurants in Kampala. |

| Online chatting;
how great! |
| I am obsessed with online chatting. It all began
last year when afriend, Louis, told me how he had zeroed down
on "one of the most humourous girls" ever. |
| commandSingletons
can be neat and trendy |
| Living single with only an occasional drop in
of a friend or two? You are the person we thought would love
a few tips on some issues. |
| More male
nurses join medical care |
| As a young man, Martin Okoth, always wanted to
be a medic and specifically a doctor. When he failed to qualify
for medicine at Makerere University, he was offered education
on government sponsorship. |
| What makes
born-agains tick? |
| Obviously many people do not have a clue why
many things happen the way they do in the born-again churches. |

| It’s
the girls’ turn to play |
| When I was told of a women’s football team
affiliated to Sports Club Villa, it sounded a bit like a joke.
Still I decided to visit Villa Park. |
| Paying the
bills; whose job? |
| How does it feel when your little daughter comes
running saying there is no sugar… or when your honey says
she wants some cash to get her hair done? Angry because this
is your money. |
| Man Style:
Know your nails |
| Mind those toes or you will have carbon mugere
chasing good company away.
|
| Affairs:
Any clues on starting one? |
| All will agree that it is a huge task handed
down to us men – mustering the courage to say the four
lettered word - love. |
| It’s planty,
planty… |
| How does style come into your sex life at home?
Through many colours and scents and the freshness that is brought
in with a bit of nature in your house – flowers! Flowers
or plants are the love of my life. |

| Is
your daughter growing up too fast? |
| In the days gone by, it was the norm for girls
in the tweenies category (10-13) to hit the menstrual cycle.
A year later, the boys would make that awkward transition to
puberty when they shoot up four inches and keep outgrowing their
clothes and shoes. |
| Mugged and
left for dead |
| While in South Africa, a friend, Milly, would
move around with a tiny key holder. Later, I learnt that it
was a small spray tin which she said was her defense tool, against
potential muggers. |
| Romancing
your bedroom |
| There is this saying - `you can change the place
but you can't change the way you feel about luxury at bed time.
Everybody needs that to pamper themselves. |
| Getting easy
with the president |
| It is one of those little odd things that go
unnoticed. That as journalists, we spend our entire working
life interpreting public figures' actions and words, always
explaining the thinking behind their every move. |

| Buke in sauna |
| I go to the sauna twice a week, essentially for
health reasons, company and simply out of habit. Now I have
an additional motive - to rub shoulders with the Vice President,
Prof. Gilbert Bukenya. |
| Princess of
England performs ekimansulo |
| It was promising to be my best evening of the
year. Here I was, chatting up the blonde Princess of England,
with every possibility that by the time the cocks did their
morning thing, I would have become the "Prince" of
England. |
| First time vendor
at golf course |
| I now have maximum respect for newspaper vendors.
They seem idle and disorderly but they do the most challenging
of tasks. |
| Family comfort

| Welcome to a whole new experience … and
