Alvaro versus Novida

We have recently been treated to intrigues and marketing gimmicks as East African Breweries and Cocacola,makers of Alvaro and Novida malt drinks respectively outdo each other screaming non-alcoholic! Of course it makes sense for EABL to say so since it offers alcoholic drinks.In contrast is cocacola trying to tell us that coke,fanta etc may be alcoholic? It is the case of a marketing strategy gone awry!

Facebook's peeping toms!

The other day i updated my facebook profile and said i was in a complicated relationship.soon as i was walking in town i met a friend who had serious issues with my profile! another day i hinted i was partying and a friend enquired why i abruptly went to blogging later without updating how the party went! are you a facebook peeping tom or what are your experiences with such guys?

Where are the trully greener pastures?

i have met people who changed jobs or careers for greener pastures only to hear them saying later that they have found a better job elsewhere! Question is,are there best jobs or do we become better regardless of where we are primarily through change of attitude and by making appropriate choices ?
