10,000 And Counting!!!

In the month of February 2010, I decided to finally create my own blog and host my thoughts on it. This was after I had realized that indeed am somewhat of a good writer, courtesy the feedback from some lovely people whom I practically forced to read. The first article to be published on this blog was a longer version of thoughts I had sent to Graphic Showbiz in a text message for it to be published in their Reader’s Column segment. I actually won GHC10 credit for that message. The title is Arts In Sync!

The One Show

The Talk Program on Viasat One, The One Show, presented by Joselyn Dumas and PY Addo-Boateng has gone through some metamorphoses from the days when Joselyn was handling it alone to the public outcry for the producers to change her through to her taking charge and holding the show down to when PY joined.

Driving through Cantonments, I had been seeing this salon whose outlook just made me decide that someday, I would like to walk in there to have a feel of what they offer. Kenzo’s Place, a new salon, spa and barbering shop located off the Ghana International School Road had been on my mind and the moment I stepped in, the experience I came out with made me itchy enough to want to write and tell you all about the experience I got.

Asem and Kwabena, those married and those in relationships, if your love says they cant live with you again, this one is for you” – Into by Asem. 

Kwabena Kwabena

Then Kwbena Kwabena comes in with his usual sultry voice and renders these lines “my Love is leaving me, what should I do? She has showed me her love and I have felt so pampered. Love, now that you are leaving, what should I do? You know I cant sleep when you are not around. Thoughts of you will kill me, what should I do? Now that you are leaving, what should I do?’ 

My Love For Manchester United

One evening in 1999, my brothers and their friends were watching a football match between Manchester United and Bayern Munich. I knew nothing about football and even till now, I have never sat through the whole 90 minutes of any football match involving whoever. I always ask for the scoreline and that is always enough for me.
