Early High School Life

It was high school days and I was the worst of the worst in my class. The principle and the teaching staff all knew who I was. Girls and boys  feared me; I was student by day, gangster by nightfall. School fights, drunken brawls, stealing cars those were some of the bad things that I did. Little did I know that a girl from the ‘Island of Love’ (Milne Bay) would change my life forever and I would never  be the same again.

It was a cold night on the streets of Lae, my crew and I were lurking as usual for potential people to rob, steal their cars or beat up. I was upbeat as usual, barking orders to the boys to keep watch for any potential victims. As if it was like a volcano erupting without prior notice to people, a fight suddenly erupted involving street gangs from 7th Street and one of my people from the 8th Street.The other faction was beating  our guy.

The fight escalated into a full out street fight in minutes, converging onto a full section of the road at top town in Lae. I was directly in the middle of it, fighting and ducking as bush knives and bayonets were exchanged in battle. In all this chaos, I heard someone calling my special name, “Duffy! Duffy!” I turned and saw that it was Claire, my class girl with her family stuck in their car, with boys surrounding it and trying to drag Claire out. I immediately disengaged from where I was and ran towards the car. I gave a heavy blow to the first person, then started fighting the others, and trying to move them away from Claire and her family. Luckily I was able to do that and I thank God to this day for not letting this guys over power me.If it was not for me, I imagine what nasty things that could have been done to Claire and her family.

Beginning of the Journey

This special piece would be dedicated towards profiling the author, his consulting firm, and the services that it provides.

Geez, I do not know where to start? A piece like this has many thoughts running through my head as to the countless number of things I have done, half done and yet to have done. However, there has to be a starting point so here we go;

The idea of starting a blog for me begins, when I was attending my first year to undertake studies in Law at the University of Papua New Guinea in 2008. Blogging was unknown to most Papua New Guineans at that time. Social media also did not enjoy great attention has it is today and many people did not have access to cheap internet at that time. The blog for me was a pastime; it was a way to unwind from the hectic studying routine. Initially, there were no specific categories that I focused on, it was writing up anything that interested or came to me spontaneously. It was neither a marketing tool that was linked to social sites nor was it a forum for discussion of political issues. It was plain and bare.

Transition Period

Gradually the blog started to get its shape through a little computer repair business that I started. The business grew within a short period of time, because no one at campus had the technical ability that my business had. My small business had a 90% success rate at completing jobs and satisfying my clients. These made me a famous and go to person when any university student's pc/laptop had a problem. My business gradually build its client base having roughly about 80% of the University Population. as its client; however, I wanted to expand further.( This is not to be done as I refocused my attention to school during peak periods. I regret that.)

 Social media and the internet were gradually now being used by an increasing number of Papua New Guineans due to the introduction of a new telecommunication company in the country. As such, I now focused my blog to market my small business writing up tutorials on the blog then linking it to my Facebook account.

Stalemate Period

This was a period were the blog and my business went into hibernation as I reached a critical time in my academic life. My life generally also came to a stall has I faced difficult challenges with respect to my family and my sweet heart (my first and true lalokau, heheheheh).

Come-back Period

It took 1 1/2 years of soul searching in the wilderness before I finally came back, and the blog came back to life. By then I had graduated from the University, and was now being employed in the rat race rally. This is were the piece abruptly ends and my consulting firm takes prominence.
