ZIKALICIOUS

Which are you? The one who has a variety of useless watches that are now makeshift bracelets or the one who would dutifully take them for repairs when the battery is flat. If you ask where I belong, I'd say with those who have turned their wristwatches into some sort of 'Wrist ornament'. I don't even own a clock, the time doesn't even read correctly in my car!  The only accurate time would be the one found on my phone - that's it!  Is there something wrong with us? Why is it that almost everyone tells time using their phones, is technology the problem? I remember those good old days... way before mobile phones and way before the computers, when our wristwatches/clocks were the only alternatives, if you didn't have one, you were screwed!  I had a wall clock, I panicked if something ever happened to it... it was like living in another reality; where you were stuck in your world and the rest of humanity were in another, you felt completely cut off m

That was the question I was asked today...The evening was going quite well for me until it went from "This has gotta be the best night ever" to "Oh no he didn't!". My facial expression changed in that instant from a smile to outrage: it became glaring that this question was off-limits. I moved around uneasily in my seat; I began thinking about how best to address the situation without coming off as the 'Crazy b***h!'  Peter was a good friend, and oftentimes we would discuss random topics of interest and argue endlessly- they were resolved amicably each time but this one wasn't one of those.  I honestly don't know how we went from discussing random things to, "So, do you mind sharing how many people you have had sexual encounters with?" I was in shock for a few seconds, If I had been drinking at the time I would have choked on it and spat it out in shock! Why was this piece of information important, why would anyone want to know the numb

  I know...I have been M.I.A for a bit, it wasn't because I had nothing to write about--no! On the contrary, there were lots of things I could have written; I just lacked the motivation to do so. Every morning, I would wake up, plan my day jotting down a list of things I needed to execute in my to-do list but will fail to accomplish most of them by the end of the day. My days were pretty much the same; wake up, drag me out of bed, stare at the ceiling for a few seconds, fall back to sleep. After what seems like minutes (usually another hour) I attempt to drag myself out of bed the second time; pretend to do my morning workout, and then proceed to make something that looks like a healthy meal before I get about the business of the day. I can tell one thing for free, It wasn't fun at all. To deal with the problem I force my mind to get certain tasks done even when my body was screaming objections at me This evening, I just said "You know what, I'm done feeling like an

You may be worried that you must have caught something when your pee smells as bad as it does each time you eat asparagus. The main culprit is aspartic acid, which is found exclusively in asparagus. When asparagus is digested, asparagusic acid gets broken down into sulfur-containing byproducts. When you pee,  the sulfur byproducts evaporate almost immediately , causing you to smell that unpleasant odour. Not everyone can notice this change, a small percentage aren't able to, this is because they aren't able to breakdown the sulphur contained in this vegetable while  the remainder can't smell it all  Is Asparagus dangerous?   This famous vegetable comes in a mixture of colours, comprising a green, white and purple variant. It’s consumed around the world and used in many delicacies including frittatas, pasta, stir-fries and as sides.
