Make it a Lifestyle!

Lol! So I saw the picture above on a friend’s bbm display picture and I laughed hard. A friend of mine after laughing hard said "Ah, ooto ni, we have real enemies on this side of the world, you have to usher the New Year in with real prayers"(imagine this saying with a yoruba accent) 

So this period of the year, everybody in Nigeria is fasting, or pretending to be fasting, or attempting to fast. Whichever category you are in, the truth is, most Christians are more spiritually aware this time of the year.

Me sef, I dey included oh, but I was just wondering...why can’t we be on this spiritual level all through the year? Does it have to be a New Year episode only?

MERRY CHRISTAMS AND A PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR!!!!

Has anyone of you had that brief moment of "the year is gone already?"

Well, if you have not had it yet, you probably will...soon!

I was thinking back yesterday and I couldn’t believe how much has happened this year. It seemed like the year was so short but so many things have happened. Both the good and not so good, but all in all, it has been a good year.

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?
