Campo nikiwa mono KCA_U in 2006 (bak then just KCA), new to the city, and had a bloody useless phone of course passed down to me, so I start saving towarrds my then dream phone (nokia 7250i) second hand nilikuwa nakindiwa 8k. used to live in mlango kubwa hostels zilikuwa karibu na St.Teresa (Beverly Hills I think was their name) so I'd walk through mathare & Huruma every morning & evening to save on bus fare and would drink chai kavu asubuhi (5 bob), have a mrefu kavu (some long mandazis that used to be sold kwa canteen ya campo, pia 5 bob) then eat mandazi choma for 10 bob in Easich, in a hotel known as Osa Vinya new dot com hotel.... ILE SIKU NILISHIKA HIO SIMU, na ilikuwa na FM radio, earphones zililala kwa maskio, all that came at a cost though...I sloughed off 9 kgs in under 3 months & that phone bado iko...kwa archives lakini.
Was so broke once in a new town njaa kaa shyt from hustling whole day bila luck. Came across some private institution sikutaka kujua ,nikatafuta dinning hall pap nikadai me ni student amepoteza badge. Nilidishi ni kama mtu amecheki oasis kwa desert plus nikasunda fruits extra kwa bag za kesho yake na kukaa masaa.Hizo fruits nilizi ration zikanisukuma 2 more days

Tumepitia mengi: Back in early 2000s, nilikuwa na hustle town doing a freelance job ya sales. Rent used to be 1,500 in Mlangoo. Manze si one time nilikosa rent for 2 months.

Landlady nilikuwa namhepa by leaving very early and coming in very late during the first 10 days of the month. Siku moja on or around the 14th, i was in the keja cooking some Ugali. Nimespin hiyo Ugali mara nikaskia knock kwa mlango. Surprise nayo! It was the landlady na Maboyz wake(grown up drunkards). Kujaribu kumsikiza angojee kesho yake, ati ndio siku commission zangu zinalipwa, mathee hakuskia. Wakaingia kwa nyumba lakini hakuna kitu valuable wakebeba. Those boys walienda na hiyo stove kaa inwaka pamoja na ugali. Ni vile nilikuwa jaa!. Ilibidi niende kwa jamaa wa Mturaa akanikopesha ya finje.
Following day commissions zililipwa nakamsort. Lakini hawakurudisha stove yangu bana!. Sikuwai pika tena kwa hiyo nyumba mpaka ile siku nilihama.
