Hi dada Subi,
Thank you very much for posting this collection of a great moment pictures.
Frankly speaking, I have also had spontaneous tearing at the end of reviewing them; but I do not why! Is HAPPINESS or SADNESS or BOTH? What are their FEELINGS?
Dada Subi, kwanza pole kwa kazi. Halafu ahsante kwa kutuma picha hizo kupitia blog yako hii. Nilikuwa siijui. Kuanzia sasa ntakuwa naitembelea. Mimi pia ingawa sikulia lakini nilifurahi sana na kujifagharishwa kwa ushindi wa Obama.
Mungu ambariki atimize ahadi zake

The change always make people cry, it can be an excitement or fear. I am happy for Obama's victory
Na mimi nitatoa machozi ya furaha siku CCM itakapopiga chini. Hakika naomba mungu anijalie nishuhudie siku hiyo.
Baba Mchj,
I think it's a mixture of both, excitement and fear.
Excitement for what was seen as impossible has made possible and everybody that looks at Obama becomes filled with hope and belief that 'it can be done, play your part'.
Fear because, I think, looking back to history, bad things even death happened to those who struggled to beat the odds and we know for sure that as long as we live in this world, evil is still out there and 'dark and light' don't stay together.
Shally,
Asante kwa kutembelea nukta77. Karibu tena!
