The Simple Things...

Today I opened my system, stared at it for a long while and asked myself…Why I have not written in a while. And what do I even want to write about?

You see, sometimes life can get to you in so many ways that you don’t even have the time to do the simple things you love. It then got me thinking, I’m probably not the only one in this situation right now

We as humans get caught up doing so many things, if only we could take out time to breathe, we will realize that those things that take your time aren’t even so important. Most often than not, they are things we can live without, things that if we stop doing, we would still live very normal lives

Keeping up with the joneses??? The joneses are broke!

I’ve been away for a while, a really long while! I needed time to settle into the new things happening in my life. New environment, new status, new responsibilities…all new everything. But amidst all, it’s been peace

I recently found my scrutinizing glasses and put it back on after such a long break and damn! Has a whole lot happened right under my nose or what?

So, remember how I said I found myself in a new environment yeah? Well that automatically means new people, a new view towards life.

Have you ever been in an environment where you think everyone there is the same and you say a silent prayer asking whatever “powers that be” that you believe in to please give you the grace not to be sucked into the same kind of life style and the same way of reasoning? Well…I have said that prayer more than a few times in just a few days.

My Monday Morning Madness!

Me, I don’t know how the weekend went by so fast. I think there was a conspiracy of some sort between the weather and the time, because just between loving the weather on Saturday morning and telling myself I’ll sleep well this weekend, BAM! It was Sunday evening.

I remember telling my mum I feel cheated, why should we work five days and rest just two days? Whatever happened to the law of equality? It shouldn’t apply to only the females that wish they were guys naa, haba, it should also apply to something that is capable of changing the quality of our lives such as this. We should work five days and rest five days...full stop!

My Language...My Right!

So many times, we think to ourselves that nobody else understands our language, especially strangers, so we can therefore insult them, after all, they won’t understand. It’s my language and I am allowed to express myself in my language without any consequences right...WRONG!

Haven’t you ever been in very awkward situations where u think someone is from another tribe and all of a sudden, the person starts speaking your language? Next thing you'll probably say is, "so you understand Yoruba? Ahh, thank God I didn’t abuse you oh, Na so you for catch me". But some other times, maybe you were not so lucky and you already abused the person's k-leg, big eyes or even their outfit and the person just turns around and says thank you, right back in your language. First your eyes will pop, your throat will tighten and at that moment, you'll wish the ground could open up and borrow you for a while, but that never happens. Then you are left with trying to render pathetic apologies and that’s if the person gives you the chance to.

Mirror Mirror on the wall......who's the most beautiful of them all?

They list the top ten most beautiful

I watch the pageants crown different girls at different times

I hear she’s the most beautiful because a magazine said so, they call it “times”

I watch the awards, same goes for the news

Just when you think you are current, they tell you there is someone new

Then it gets me thinking, of all the “most beautifuls” who then is the most beautiful

Who is that one person that is so beautiful, she has no competition

Who is that one so fair, so flawless, so moulded to perfection

I think there should be a pageant for all who have ever been crowned

It should be tagged the competition for the queens of beauty

Just so there can emerge one true beauty

But then again, can there really be one true beauty?

Friends With Benefits

I’m glad to say this.....I have friends with benefits.

The euphoria of a holiday!

I have a holiday dance...it’s something between Etighi and Alanta. I just recently threw in Skelewu on the 29th of May, you know, just to update the dance.

So I got to showcase my improved dance move this morning when I was reminded that tomorrow is the 12th of June. How delighted I was.

However, the thing is, I realized, a lot of us do not know what the holiday stands for and this is not just about the 12th of June, but also about every other holiday. We don’t know the history, the reason, nothing. If you fall into my category, you probably just think...ahhhhh....holiday.....no work tomorrow....God bless whatever caused this day.

So to reduce my ignorance, I took out time to study a bit of history, just to know what the 12th of June really stands for and I think you should too, but when you are done researching, please relax!!!
