Magic Moments

How can I best describe the beauty of my youth. When I was young, life was very different and as I relish in the memories right now, I vividly remember the year I turned 25. My mission was to do all the things I wanted to do when I was 17 and 21.

Lucky for me, I had these friends who were all set to have as much fun as the country would offer at the time. At least if all they could do was to be happy considering the fact that they got work leave once every 2 years. So they partied every weekday night if they had to.

For example there is this one night we go to the club like we have been doing the last 3nights since Wednesday. The Rugby club is our first choice but since its quiet early for a saturday night, its a little boring.
¨Lets hit the next place” Gloria suggests.
¨ Am headed home¨ Jackie counters.

After persistent cooing and name calling, Jackie agrees to come with us to ¨The Lounge¨ for 30 minutes. We immediately agree as we plan to make her stay for much longer. We head for the loft on arrival. The music is bringing the house down. We can hardly hear each other. We choose the corner and we are already dancing on the couch and the tables.

Guess who shows up after 15 minutes? Valaria with her crew. We are rocking a girls corner and the guys can help but eye us. Andrew who we all call the `dancer´spots us and comes our way with some of our boy-friends. Yeah baby its time to have fun.

At 2 a.m, we decide we can still hear the music from outside. Its so hot in here, we need to cool off. I didn´t mention before that in all our attempts to look hot which we did, Gloria had beat us at it. She was the sexy siren that night. With a red head piece around her long dreadlocks, flashy big green ear loops, a beautiful black fitting shirt with a cream belt, hot jeans and red shoes. Boy, u had to see this. I have never seen different colors working so well together. She stands with her best-friend Michael under the canopy of a Jacaranda tree.

By 4 a.m, its 4 guys and 2 ladies left. We have to make another stop at popular eating place. Wandegeya has a reputation of serving food ant any hour of the day or night. We order for fries and 2 whole chicken roasted, and not fried. the guys most def. are making lewid jokes mostly about Michael jackson and his hilarious life style. We are laughing our lungs out, its crazy. Our platter is served and we dig in like we haveńt eaten for 5 days. The chicken is so yummy, I want more.

By the time the cock crows the third time, we are just setting off for home. Its 6 a.m in the morning and we have to be at church by 9 a.m.
