I will end up in… – By Animas

Posted on September 18, 2020September 17, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

I will let you decide where. l have no idea if l am believer but as every good religious person, I pray silently to God only when l am in trouble or want to obtain something. I also pray when I don’t see any escape or options coming out from a certain situation. Sometimes I…

Dating After Funeral – By Animas

Posted on September 16, 2020September 16, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

So, after the Dutch/American architect cheap yahoo boy, I decided not to give up and kept hoping to meet my virtual charming prince riding one of the matchmaker Apps. Mission accomplished, again with no success. The journey was the way any outstanding surgeon would say, “The surgery was successful, but the patient did not survive.’’…

Erase, Shine and Delete – By Animas

Posted on September 2, 2020September 2, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

After free fall, I learned to fly. My spirit is still under construction. I am still searching and looking for more surprises, more frogs to kiss and waste my time with, more adventures… I started packing, moving out of the place l lived in with Za Decedent. It was essential to me! I had never…

Za Decedent’s Funeral – by Animas

Posted on August 31, 2020August 31, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

As I mentioned to you, I will nickname my ex, Decedent, also known for six years as the love of my life. I choose the name Decedent as a form of revenge, out of anger and pain that he caused me when he decided out of the blue to break up with me. Some might…

Cultural Differences – by Animas

Posted on August 26, 2020August 25, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

Living in a civilized so-called western country made me realize that I had a very normal childhood. Can someone define what normal means? In my opinion, normality is reflected by everyone’s perception. What to me seems normal, might sound strange to you and vice versa.  It has shapes. It has behavior patterns. It’s boring. Let’s…

Who am I? – by Animas

Posted on August 19, 2020August 25, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

We met at Sausalitos, a Mexican restaurant and bar that played La Bamba when she walked in. It was a chilly November evening, my fourth Friday in this city and I was still staying in a hotel room. I should’ve ordered a whisky to warm myself up, but a cold glass of beer sweating on…

To Know or Not to Know

Posted on August 5, 2020August 5, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

There are people who want to know stuff. They stick their hands in a beehive. They study what a sting looks like. They are curious. They ask questions. They poke – not their noses – their brains in affairs that concern them. They sniff for signs. They probe. They value feedback and seek it as…

Celebrate It

Posted on July 29, 2020July 29, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

I like sports. I enjoy watching the celebrations when someone scores a goal, makes a basket, completes a try, hits a hole, races across the finish line.  I like the passion with which people lift their hands, thump chests, raise fists. I like seeing the hugs and kisses, the flying confetti and fireworks, the champagne….

The One To Meet

Posted on June 17, 2020June 17, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

I showed up every day for last year’s Winter Afrobloggers Challenge. I ran that marathon, mile after mile, stride by stride. I turned at each corner, kept it going, took the straight path, ran up hill. I got to the 21K mark. I was still strong. My mind was focused. When I got to the…

Unplanned Thoughts

Posted on May 13, 2020May 13, 2020 by Ernest Tuape

My workplace has an internal blog dedicated to Covid_19 experiences. It’s a place where staff let their hearts out through stories. I like it. I sit at my table having yoghurt, grapes and apples (because I want to keep the doctor away) as I read the feelings of some people like me living alone and…
