Breakfast For Dinner

 I should have known. The signs were clear enough. And how I managed to ignore them still remains a mystery. For once I listened to my heart instead of my head and I was definitely not prepared for the devastating consequences that followed. 

 I thought we were headed somewhere beautiful. A place where nothing else mattered. A place were we could savour the sweet and precious feeling of having each other.

Alas, my journey into this mysterious love plain was doomed and it ended before it even started. My fault actually. 

Still new to the business, I painfully misconstrued every single thing. Her smiles I interpreted as acceptance. Laughter as deep affection. Holding of hands as a sign of better things to come. 

Apparently, the better things didn't come. I became an innocent victim of deception. Initially, nothing weird at first. Just little excuses which seemed reasonable at first. However, it soon became glaring that she'd transformed into something else. Something so frightening that I could barely recognize.

Exasperated, I tried to call her to order. Demanding explanations for her actions. But her menacing utterance told me my dreams had been shattered. The frigid cruelty together with the sheer naivety of her lame words left me shattered in many pieces.

And from time to time, I still hear those damned words: "Testimony, you are a nice guy really. But I don't have time for love."

EARNED NOT GIVEN

"A clinical pharmacist is just one surgery away from being a medical doctor." One of my friends once asserted boldly. Now, you do not have to agree with this, in fact, I did not agree with her at that time and I still don't. But I definitely got the message; the roles of pharmacists have expanded steadily over the years. And pharmacists now do far more than just sitting moodily behind a counter and dispensing drugs.   When we hear "desert," sand and dust instantly float into our minds that we almost sneeze in response. Similarly, people always think about drugs when the word "Pharmacist" is mentioned. In fact, the word "drug" (or drugs) is present in nearly all the definitions of a pharmacist. As for those definitions that do not have drugs, the word "medicine" (or medicines) stands in its place. As a result, phrases like "Legal Drug Dealer" and "Custodian of Drugs" have become fancy titles for pharmacist...

STUDYING DA VINCI.

 Otaru Testimony Afigie Admittedly, it would a bit odd if an engineer were to be the painter of the world's most famous painting. Things would even get weirder if this engineer also practiced as an anatomist, a chemist, a mathematician, an architect, and a sculptor. But with Leornado da Vinci, this was very normal. In fact da Vinci was much more than these.  Leonardo da Vinci was a multi-talented man and has been described by man as being 'strikingly handsome'. He was known for his trademark beards which were said to reach his shoulders. Even though he suffered from stroke and latter became paralyzed in his right hand, he conjured so many wonders with his left hand in both writings, drawings and paintings some of which are yet to be fully understood. Yes, he was left-handed, and this together with a lot of other numerous instances have made people to conclude that southpaws are special. (But we know that there are lots of right-handed people who are special too, you for ins...

Fields of Glory: Faculty of Agriculture Plows Through Faculty of Physical Sciences with a 4-0 Victory

  By Otaru Testimony Afigie When the Faculties of Agriculture and Physical Sciences collided in the latest round of fixtures one thing was certain- one of the teams would go home bruised. And so it was as the Faculty of Agriculture emerged 4-0 winners in this one-sided contest.  The match was evenly balanced in it's early stages as both teams surged forward without any side actually controlling the game.  The Physical Science team eventually lived up to their name as they completely dominated the midfield thanks to heroics from Anora, who dictated proceedings from her centre-midfield role. Another stand out player for Physical Science in this period was Divine. Divine consistently terrorised the Agric defenders on the left wing.  Unfortunately, Divine was prone to excessive showboating and was eventually identified as a threat prompting the Agric team to mark her tightly. Consequently Divine was pocketed and largely kept quiet for most parts of the game except for he...
