THE DIARY GAME, 18 MARCH 2023. THE OUTING AND TRAVELING DAY
Saturday 18 was a day of fun and traveling. In the morning house, i went to the store to look for what i can make for breakfast. I went and bought some raw eggs, transferred airtime credit and activated one week calls and stood by the road to call my brother that i was assisting a week ago to search for an apartmentent house for him. I called him and while we were talking, i saw and old friend who traveled to search for a means to get to USA through the Mexico road. Its a road that many people pay and are connected through different people and issued different identities card of different countries to travel and seek for greener pastured in America. Some people die on the way for trekking for long or starving or ill health or murderred. This friend of mine left the country very bulky and fluffy, but when i saw him i was shocked and astonished. He was so pale and dark. I just had to pretend i didn't notice, greeted him and didn't bring the topic up. I realized he was stressed, discouraged and going through alot. Many people pay atleast 4.5milliom for the lowest amount to use that channel to go to America. Some succeed and some do not.
While talking with him, another friend came and saw us and was happy and just asked what happened and he said he can not explain while standing. We agreed that we will go to town and look for a good place and sit and talk. We got a bike, and we went to town. We went to a place were its good with fries and other foods but it was not yet opened. We took two different bikes and went to another place and it was still not opened. We called one guy that works at another lounge in town and he said it was open and that the sales girls and other workers were there already. We went there and paid the bike riders and went in and other for fries and drinks. We were shown were to sit and drink because the fries will take more than 30minutes.
The two guys ordered their drinks and i ordered Bavaria since i didn't like alcohol. We sat and while drinking, the guy told us how he trekked, starved , suffered and didn't even reach Mexico or Canada. He struggled and reached a country around Mexico but couldn't get to Mexico so that he could get an easy connect to America. He spoke and we only encouraged him. I had to change the topic since he was feeling to down. We brought up other topics of how he used to like playing push balls and foot ball and teased him, and he chaired up, we called one of our friends and he came and met us. We drank and discussed for ours , but you cannot imagine that the two raw eggs i earlier bought on the road were still in my jacket😂😂😂. I didn't tell them because they would cause a scene in that lounge.
Later on, the ladies serving in that lounge brought the food we ordered. I ate and we were laughing almost through the eating process because we ate with our hands instead of the cutlery just to make our friend laugh throughout. At some points we laughed at how he would struggle to pull the meat. (I would have really loved to show their faces but they dont buy the idea) they think steemit is not legit.
You can see me putting my phone down to eat
When i was through with my food, i told the other guy check if he has some money so we can add and go to another place were the push balls are being played so we can play with our friend who wasn't so happy. He agreed, and i told them that since i was shabby, the should give me some minutes to rush back to the house and put on a long trouser and meet them up so we could to another lounge that has a push ball board. I hurriedly went and got a bike and got home , wore a long trouser and heard bomb from afar. Our tenants were talking that it should surely be an attack afar from home. I saw a bike passing by the house and i took it to town and met those guys. I drank one other Bavaria and we left and went to amother lounge.
When we got to the lounge, i took one Malta drink and was sipping since we were standing all through. The guys were playing and didn't give i and the other man chance to play because the were only setting a bet and i didn't want to set my money to play because it usually ends with fights or arguments. I sat back and washed them playing. I was later taking pictures and just making some calls.
I later received a call from my elder sister who told me to help her and buy the tv she asked about and travel with it same day and bring. I told the guys that i had to go. I tried to finish drinking the Malta but couldn't drink much at once since it can choke one up. I left the longe and took a bike to the commercial Avenue. I passed and searched in some shops and got to to one man who sells TV. I asked for a TV for the amount that my elder sister could afford and it showed that i could only get a 32 inches TV. i remember that hisense televisions and LG are the best here. I asked for their different prices and bid but the seller didn't accept. My sister asked me to send her pictures of the tv and i did.
She accepted the size and asked me to check for the price of a stabilizer and add to the TV so she can send the money. I did and argued the price, when the man agreed, i went and widrew the money, i paid and got the receipts. I went to the agency, got a car and sat on the sit by the door because if i sit between two people, they may sleep and if we car shakes they might hit the tv since i had ro carry it and you know the drivers here fit people in the car like fished when there are many passengers at the park. I kept the stabilizer under my chair and held the tv on the right side and used my left had to hold the sit infront so that incase the car shakes due to the road, the person close to me with hit my hand instead of the TV.
When we started going, i realized that the man sitting by me was a blind man. After carrying the tv for long and i was uncomfortable and not sitting well, i was adjusting myself in many occasions. When we had gone out of town reaching the west region, out car had a tire issue. The tire fired and since there was too much gravel on the road, the care rolled for a short time while the driver tried to control. When it stopped, some mothers where breathing profusely and everyone who was asleep was up and looking and talking. I opened the door and went down and everyone stepped out of the car.
I kept the tv in the car and some guys and i assisted the driver to change the tire. We changed it and got everyone into the car. We continued our journey, and as we were going, some people were dropping in some town. When we reached my destination, everyone was going and there was no one to assist the impaired man, he was sitting in the bus. I told him to come out, and asked were he was going. He had to travel again using another agency inside the town. I got a bike to put him on bike. The biker asked where i was going and it was thesame directions but i was to drop first. We agreed on the price, luckily the biker understood English and we explained and he carried the stabilizer and the impaired mans bags while i held the TV. We pass my place and went to another area when the rider realized and sent me back on another bike. I wished the impaired man care and went with the other rider. I reached my sisters house and paid the rider.
I went and knocked her door and she was so happy. I sat down and rested after the traveling and sitting on the bike for about 30 minutes to reach her house. I later used a nail and a stone create holes on the wall to use a tv scroll nail and paste to the wall so that i can attach the tv to the wall. When i got through, i placed the tv on the wall and connected the stabilizer and put a USB flash to it and played a movie and everything was perfect.
She asked me to take a picture of the tv stabilizer and receipts to send to her husband because he is not around, as you can see in the photo above. After a while she finished cooking and served my own. She have me fried plantains and chicken, with huckleberry stew. I ate and drank water.
I ate and was watching a movie. I later fell sleepy, went and eased my self and came back to set an alarm so i can travel first thing in the morning.
