AMBITIOUS 2014 100 PROJECTS UNDERWAY(steal if you may) THIS FOLLOWS UNDERACHIEVEMNT OF 3 GOALS
"Life is full of beauty, it is utter disrespect not to enjoy it "
Unlike the world, Esther Neema will never, shall never be found bungee jumping, dreaming of it, being near any parameters that are partisan to it. She shall not be associated with it, and right to remain silent when asked a question whether she would like to bungee jump shall be duly be awarded. She is allowed to make any form of disgust expression when someone even imagines taking her to bungee jump. She is allowed to have her opinion that all those who partake of this activity are not serious individuals much as she has much respect for them. However, though she hates hiking, Esther Neema shall partake of a hiking event this year, it could be Ngong hills, or even mount Kenya or Valley road hill(hope not). I should at least go to Mount Kenya once in my life. Mt Everest, unless I am just going to take a picture just for posting on facebook :).
Here is the thing, last year, I got jobs, got engrossed in them, got totally lost in them, and only became hyper active later in the year. It was like a crush program, let me just do it all now before the year ends, only because they were not measurable goals. This year they get measurable. I refuse to learn lessons, I am just going to keep grabbing life with firmer grips.
I got to play a lot of porker though, I am still not bad at all. Watched more movies, but alas, this year, actually I am planning to get over engaged in everything under the earth that God created for us to enjoy without overindulgence, or loosing touch with the fact that I have a job to keep(otherwise how will I partake of these adventures), and a husband to find, life is just hard!!!. I want this year to feel like one long holiday in a good way, I hope that is possible with still achieving great results. I really overworked 2013, but we might as well forget about that hustle year 2013. My Theme of 2014 GIVE IT YOUR ALL, ALL YOU GOT!!!! And that now goes to my 100 projects.
You probably are judging me harshly thinking, "Kama ulishindwa na goals tatu last year, sembuse 100" (if 3 resolutions were awfully hard to achieve, how about 100). Then my response is _---------> Chembilecho, life is about pushing ourselves out of our boundaries. That is instead of thinking outside the box, have no box at all. Instead of walking in anyone's footsteps create yours. Now if the Lord shall award me more years to 100, I would have explored all the universe and lived it all as awarded, and perhaps I shall be told "well done good and faithful servant" -----> GIVE IT YOUR ALL!!!!!
I am well aware of something called FAILING and surprises, but I am even more aware of something called TRYING and even more aware of an even more important aspect DETERMINATION.
I read a verse that said you cannot add new wine on old skin, it is going to explode. Meaning alot needs to change to achieve this 100 project initiative. We have thrown out all the shady garments, and low esteems they bring (washindwe), we are much more assertive, and honest, thanks to the mijikenda gene this should not be hard, we are stronger and we are no longer suffering from generation y problems, we are actually alot more focused, serious, we are not moving from one career to the next. We know what we want and we know ourselves better.
You are probably saying state the 100 projects already!!!! Here they are!!! Measurable goals. I shall not state the obvious for me like getting to know God more and get deeper, because with all this things and an empty soul sometimes it could feel like a rat race. Who wants that!!!!.
Okay finally here they are. NO JUDGEMENT, I really wish I could have more focus in life :).
I think as the year moves on, so shall new things, new projects keep popping and so shall I endeavour to add them. You may share any new ideas we could do together as long as it is not impossible, say like bungee jumping. And this is not for laughing at the other in case they don't come true.
My mother taught me, that we should speak in to our lives, and it happens. I have never seen more things work out that way. I spoke in to many things last year, and just like that they did. Today I was reading on Faith. It is so not a coincidence :).

Okay finally here they are. NO JUDGEMENT, I really wish I could have more focus in life :).
- Can I just get married already!!!! You are probably rolling your eyes right now). Let me explain, that actually is my goal in life. Now I suddenly feel like going all defensive for saying, you If you don't want to get married don't, me, let me just do it. But i won't, because I am also trying to be nicer this year! That could kill, because I am actually awfully nice, it is sad.
- And then two, to restore your faith in me, I actually have other goals in life. Much as I put it out there that I want to get married sooner and my sole goal is to get married, I do have a life beyond waiting for a husband(okay waiting is the wrong word). I want my two companies to scale great heights, not small things but actually amazing heights. I want to have the brilliant events 5 major events, pitch brilliant ideas and concepts for programs at least two taken in, I want to awe myself, awe you. just keep awiing. I really will not do ANYTHING mediocre. At all. Now y'all can/should stop calling me upcoming photographer. how long have I been coming up Kwani.
- I want 15kgs down, I know that is a loss to humanity and new achievements that I have earned me by myself, but alas, they need to go. I know this is subject to debate and personal choice, I am not suffering from esteem issues or lecturing anyone on healthy living. I do too much get disgusted when I go to a shop and all they got are tiny tiny microscopic swimming costumes, how disappointing. But I don't want to keep complaining, not that I have any desire whatsoever to be microscopic, I feel they need to increase the sizes of those consumes for petes sake, what do they want us to wear. But I want to change, just for me, I really want to be able to wear anything in the world without feeling indecently dressed, and getting unsolicited attention every time I attempt to wear my short skirt without disturbing everyone or hustling the whole shop to get one dress. That does not mean I will not touch or hear from compulsary foods like cake and choclates. I will have each of those, just walk a little more and i do not have to eat choclates and cakes like there is no tomorrow, I can share them with friends whom I hope will be equally blessed with some weight. I will walk a lot more and dance in the morning for 15 minutes. It is not even hard at all. I am four days successful. And I shall not bombard you with any of those messages at all.-
- More documentaries, more feature- straight to the point. I think telling stories is a calling or rather I enjoy it. There is no way out. I just have to do it if at all I should feel really really really satisfied.
- Back on Radio- otherwise why was I training for it for a whole year just to never go on air. Donge!!! I may sound like a counsellor, but someone needs to go out there and talk about Agriculture, and that person is me
- More Photography, and wohoo I already have a wedding to shoot. Coolo. lets do this. I am excited to do this. I think it will be beautiful to show couples how in love they are.
- A novel every fortnight- It is about time I engage in intellectual conversations with other authors and see how they see life. And just to understand different perspectives of life. Ignorance is embarrassing. I am yet to embrace inspirational books and motivational books, those are quite a challenge. I don't know whether I actually will ever be grown up enough to read those. ( A fortnight is Overate, perhaps a book a month is more realistic for moi. I do have a life other that reading)
- A movie every week- Ni muhimu. Esther Neema we cannot be having conversation of Sarafina at this point, people are watching Thor. How now am I still watching sound of music.
- A contributor at BBC- Height of success for me. pressure is real. Sijui I will do what, but I really should. Or any international medium
- Full time Job, this part time story is not working, first I just appear idle, when I really am not, I am working people though I am more broke than I should be. I feel like the community needs me and I need it too. Somehow, it is either this or this.
- NO PROCRASTINATION- make that call when I think about it, (this does not pertain to matters of the heart, I am really awkward there, i really should see Getrude Mungai about this shyness story). Print the assignemnet when it is given, not when it is due. write a note at that particular time. No more procrastination ever.
- Travel everywhere and anywhere, creating new experiences at least every fortnight. I should have been to at least 25 new places by the end of this year. The issue of cost not applicable, because the cheaper it is, the more priority it is. Those expensive places can go hung. Okay I don't mean that I love classy things, but am not gonna wait until then, I am just going to keep getting different cheap thrills
- Meet new people, new friends, the world is large, we can make it smaller. I am not sure if I can quantify this. I shall just make a few more first moves. I shall try not to be the woman who says nothing, I shall excavate conversations, make more small talk, you will not believe what I am capable of talking about.
- learn Spanish- I love languages. I should know some of this other than the word Bonita or Chiquita.(haven't done anything about these languages, should start now, sigh!!!!)
- If I learn enough Spanish, I can learn Italian. I think it is cute. But spanish is a priority
- Renew my french speaking and speak really well, ---> Watch and read in french. I should just stop joking about this
- Send out movie script. I have a hilarious story, that needs to go on screen, I just need to know what strings to pull. Somehow. Haven't done it.(
- Record a song even if it is for mine own ears, or even family members, or even friends, or I don't know, I feel like singing even if it is just one for life.
- That leads me to the famous-----> I should just join the choir, persistent since 1900.
- Wedding sing. I don't know if anyone can trust me to sing at their wedding, but I will just put it out there, that it is a secret wish. For real. Or maybe I should just sing in mine. Ai but my relatives will imagine I am too ambitious. In my culture actually it is illegal for a bride to be too exited to get married. Somehow!!! I think I am the opposite of all that, I could even MC at my own wedding. (After singing off Key at Michelles Event, I may not be looking forwad to sing soon until after Voice training, lest my singing causes health hazards to everyone)
- Do a musical where I am not a back up singer or the shocked stranger running across the street in the play. Why does this keep happening to me!!!!(Plans underway)
- Do a movie, where I like the character I am playing
- Print all my best photography. It really is about time. Guys look so beautiful, I need to print them(Why haven't I done this)
- Fast and tithe.. Man shall not live on bread alone. For real
- Watch alot of TV, shows, infarct get a soap opera to follow( I love their stories, I don't think it is shady. I think it is life. I think they are beautiful. Plus we need something to cry about coz we shall never cry of heart breaks.
- Reach higher heights in journalism practise. Whatever that means But I will maximize on story telling as well as creative writing.
- Go to Voice school and actually sing well. Sometimes I wonder what happened to my voice. massacring songs happened
- Publish a book. It will make me happy. Lord help us with typos and grammar. State of emergency. And how will I write a whole book without the use of Mtu Nguyas somewhere there :(.
- Have an article published on news paper. Why haven't I done this seriously!!!! I am fairly funny aren't I.( Only positive comments on this subject are encouraged :)
- Pimp the show with new ideas, concepts.. I actually want it to last forever.
- Give and give some more and find more joy in doing it. I want to just do things other than for me. The past few years have been very selfish.
- Mentor ship programs. I don't whether it is me who needs them or it is me giving them, but I think both. Convinced that our lives would be so much better if we can get out of our shells, if we viewed ourselves better and also if we got ourselves photographed.
- Bible studies ----> I am in three already. I cant believe it. I always resisted these things, but now more than ever I have never needed anything more. But one can only have enough. So thaz it.
- Youth programs. I have been doing this already, but alas! More of that. alutacontinua(certain that is not how it is spelled, but if you read it carefully you will recognize the sound of it :) )
- Share more gifts---> I should actually buy all my friends and family gift wajameni. It is only noble.
- Buy land- It is about time.
- Plant trees and actually give them names. Naming may not be necessary, but if I can do it, why not.

- Play Monopoly really well

- go to play tennis
- Book club, that is not inspirational
- Reunions-----> primary, highschool,University
- Attend one of those celebration at Nyayo during a national holiday
- Watch at least five movies on big screen by the end of the year. Maybe I should make them three, they may turn out to be all violent and unfit for my consumption(I don't think il make it to five)
- One wild night of laughing like a child. I think we all need a moment to dance to every song and laugh at nothing at all.

- Relax and not panic, trust people, trust me,
- Call friends and family on a weekly basis. Not all of them, in different turns.(Let weekly stand for a month)

- Get on all the different types of trains available, It has been really long since I was on one, I cant even remember what it was like.
- Go to see elephants. I saw one on my way from coast, so beautiful, I had never seen an elephant my whole life, which is twenty something year, that is a long time to not have seen elephants.(I actually went but they were asleep, so we couldn't see the little babies)

- I should just learn how to finally not be awkward with emotions. It is about time. I should respond appropriately. Like if someone proposes,I should actually comment on that without making jokes or stumbling upon my words and looking/sounding like a total fool. What is so bad about liking people
- On that note, I should actually sing to someone. Saying, don't listen to the words, listen to the voice. And mean it

It may seem as though I was only writing about relationships. So I took a thinking holiday)
- To listen more. Get every name, know names, love people more, even those I do not understand how easily they find to be themselves in terms of possing such shocking bad habits. That I can learn to love them anyway.

My mother taught me, that we should speak in to our lives, and it happens. I have never seen more things work out that way. I spoke in to many things last year, and just like that they did. Today I was reading on Faith. It is so not a coincidence :).
