Bachelor PAD

Hello everyone, whats up? Hope this week has been good to you as it has to me. Anyways been watching bachelor pad with my sister in law and its been so funny, I can't even imagine the twist. I am so praying for Chris to be voted out of the game but like someone said it's like he's got 9 lives as he tries everything possible not to get eliminated. I hope my prayers come to pass.

Another thing I have learnt about this reality show is that when there is money involved there is no trust.The fighting in the house has become more intense, leading me to think that everybody came in there, first of all for the money and then to have a lovely time.

K before I say ciao I want to say thank you to all my friends that read my blog and do not comment or aren't followers...
I just chatted with a friend on facebook, who actually reads my blog, He is Ivorien. He reads it even though he can't speak or understand english. He reads it through. he  google translation. He says its very tiring but he still manages to read my blog.
I am so touched and happy about this. Hearing stories like this encourages one to continue blogging and writing.

Question of the week: "what do you do to a friend that doesn't listen to advice, and always makes a mistake. Do you stop being that person's friend or continue talking. Cos it actually hurts when you watch the person, again and again make mistakes."


Do take care and have a lovely weekend .

  1. That's a tough question, I would say keep some distance but not too much and keep talking. It is their life at the end of the day, maybe one day they'll learn.

    I also watch BP and I won't spoil it, but that Chris has 10 lives sef! And yeah, it's all about the money for most of them. LOL...

    1. Hello Phiti and Myne....interesting question, and great response!
      I asked on twitter a while ago, how far do you accept people as they are?! Some people are so thoroughly spoilt, for want of a better word, but are you expected to continue to 'manage' them and their refusal to change? Balance balance balance!

      Phiri, the DNW has a great new post....your shout out reminded me of her post. Check it out.

  2. you continue to be their friend...thats how friendship goes. You might ease up on the unheeded advice but play your part as a friend.

  3. i go with Mbabazi. sometimes, ppl re too blind to see the right thing and you can even interceed for her, especially when its the same mistake...i know its not easy and i've had experiences living with such ppl but i guess you just keep loving them
    just like we humans before God,start looking at her thru the eyes of God and i feel things will get better, for you and for her
    thats what frnds are for i guess

  4. I would say you continue being that person's friend as long as he or she is not a bad influence on you. And I recommend prayer. Even if the person will not listen to you, maybe he will listen to somehow else and get help before making an irreversible mistake.

  6. That is what friends are for, continue to give the best advice you can because frankly speaking, your love for the person will ensure you do. One thing you must never do though is say "i told you so" when the person runs into trouble for not heeding to your advice.

  7. I met someone last year who sort of behaved like what you describe. I could not understand why she would come to me, talk and talk and I would try to let her see how it was madness doing the same thing over and over yet expecting a different outcome. I got so involved that the people she was having issues with began calling me every time there was a blow up as they saw me as some sort of 'emotional guarantor'. I will not lie, I got fed up and even my mgm warned me to step back cos it was clear she was not listening to a word I said to her. So I did though I keep sending her uplifting text messages just to maintain some form of contact. And like many have said, I keep her in my prayers. God will have to fix her. It's sort of like witnessing, my job is not to convert, it is to share the word. God via his Spirit has the job of winning that soul.
