He found me taking Guinness. I welcomed him. We introduced ourselves to each other and exchanged pleasantries. He asked where I come from and I told him Rwanda, where I went to school from P.1 to S.4 before leaving for France. When I told him about my sister, Allen Kakooza, with whom I live, I was surprised to learn that she had her music video done at his studio.

I told him I was excited to meet a man who knows my sister. Before we parted, he asked for my mobile number and promised to call one day.

What did you discuss about your love-life?
We didn’t discuss much, but I told him how I once had a man with whom I have twins, though one of them died. He told me he has two children, whom he got in his S.6, but later separated with their mother. He currently has a girlfriend who is abroad for studies.

Did you like him?
Yes. He speaks well and he can be my good friend.

What if he decides to take the friendship to another level?
I will turn him down because I don’t want to get into a serious relationship now. My focus is going back to school for studies.

Have you communicated since then?
No, I didn’t have his number. I wasn’t able to save his number that day because my battery was off but I had expected him to call me.

Anywhere he lost marks?
Not at all. He is a real gentleman.

What makes you happy?
When my sweet heart is around me

S he was waiting for me but I was disappointed that she didn’t welcome me with a smile. She was taking a Guinness and Red Bull. After introductions, we chatted away like old friends. It wasn’t difficult for us to talk because we have something in common.

I am a video producer and she is a movie actress. She also told me she is a single mother of twins, although one passed away. She showed me the picture of the one alive. She also told me that she broke up with the father of the twins because he was cheating on her.

I told her about my ex lover with whom I separated in 2000. She is married to someone else. My current girlfriend is in the United Arab Emirates where we met during my studies. She is coming back in six months-time. “I had expected to get you but since you are a Nnalongo, I can’t venture,” I said. “What a pity!” she replied.

She must have impressed you?
She did. She is a lively and talented lady. She invited me to act with her and gave me her boss’ contact so that I can get in touch with him.

And the other side of the coin?
The rate at which she was boozing was incredible. When I asked why, she said: “I have been drinking since I was six years old because my dad was using it like ordinary juice.” I told her it was dangerous for her since men could take advantage and abuse her.

What will you tell her when you call her?
We shall talk about the movie industry. I respect the title “Nnalongo” and wouldn’t like to mess about by taking her out.

How should one behave on the first date?
Choose the right kaboozi, keep smiling and avoid exposing habits like smoking or drinking. They should also speak sparingly about their families.
