Life, Fooled Me!

If you bargain in lira

Life won’t pay you in dollars

If you bargain with a frown

Life won’t reward you with smiles

If you bargain in menial’s hire

Life would pay you in menial’s wage

If you bargain in laziness

Life won’t bring motherluck to you

If you bargain in deceit

Life would pay in cruelty

If you bargain with pride

The end result would be a thunderous fall

If you bargain in risk

Life would pay you in uncertainty

If you bargain in coins

Life won’t reward you in notes

If you bargain in confidence

Life would pay you in surety

If you bargain flippantly

Life would reward somebody else

----------------------------------------------

Life is a Servant

It gives what you Ask

Bargain with life in Hardwork

Life would reward you in Success

A new quarter of the year begins today, I wonder if the people who made resolutions have kept them up to this point. I’m quite satisfied with my achievements so far this year…….Last month had me overwhelmed by God’s goodness in my life, thereby renewing my faith on another level

Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! I just got fooled by the Mister, 2^nd year in a row and almost the same thing!!! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! What bites me is I love to feel smart, and I was sooooooo prepared for him this year, until he told me his latest acquired gadget had crashed- Seeing as we lost an Ipod touch and a PS3 (all less than 2 months old) to crashing at Christmas (we had to replace them or life would be unbearable, and by we- I gave my consent……lol- HAPPY BOYFRIEND= HAPPY ME)- it was hard not to believe…… I’LL GET YOU BACK!!!!! (My mind was already swearing for the company) By the way people- APPLE has the best customer Service you can think about (This is NOT an Advertisement J)- I got a new replacement for the broken Ipod touch without paying a dime!

Off to prepare for a meeting with guys who don’t smoke but produce cigariettes- how ironic.

Happy New Month Guys........NO FOOLING AROUND!

Gibberish....

Oh no, I can tell this is a very muddled up post, More like a diary entry…..might not make sense to anyone but me.

·       * Long Exhale…….. I have officially served my country and I can say it was quite an experience; I’ve never wanted something to be over so bad…..So bad that when I was handed the flipping piece of paper (The Certificate that is) I looked at it and said “Is this it?” ………Really? ………….All that hassle for this? I thank God for seeing me through this “ordeal”- as I would like to call it, and be warned  NYSC truly means Now Your Suffering Continues………..It’s a colossal waste of time, and I’m glad it’s over for good! I would miss CD days though, it's the only official excuse to work four times a week.....*sigh

*Longer exhale……… got a lot going on around me…….. a lot on my mind, enough things to demoralize me and my state of mind, yet I am far from being demoralized (dunno why- ok I know why), a bit worried- this I cannot help, seeing as it is human nature, but then again worrying doesn’t change anything, and for the 1^st time in my life I am letting myself share all of this with a very good friend of mine. I never share- I’m usually an All-in-one Package kind of person, I Do EVERYTHING for myself by myself, but this time I just can’t help it………….it feels like all the things weighing me down get dumped at the sight of my friend J, It’s amazing…… so amazing that I feel at peace in the midst of madness …….and that just makes me HaPpY.

I was meant to share a quote based on my current state of affairs but Funms beat me to it…..So here, I’ll share this with you guys and I’m sure at least one person will use this as the missing piece to whatever puzzle they are trying to solve in their lives right now.

I turned the page too......and it's Awesome!!!!..................Now I have to learn not to keep going back.

PS: NYSC is my achievement for the month of February.......yay!

All those born in March, where the Party at?!

PeeK - a - BoO......

*Warning: Not much of a post, still trying to adjust to real time.

....And so the holiday madness ends and Lagos madness begins in full swing tomorrow, You would think one should be use to this by now, but I tell you just the thought of families with their 5 cars on the road tomorrow morning kills me- one for the father, one for the mother and 3 for their 3 kids in 3 different schools! (Now, can I throw in a suggestion to people like that? Please don't fail to get one for the dogs and another for the cats- I mean how much worse can it get), as if that's not bad enough, NEPA abi PHCN tricked us into getting comfortable a couple of months back with their 12 hour daily shifts, now we're lucky to get 12 hours a week- tired of all the generator noise- In fact, I think I need to relocate- People, any takers? I'm up for adoption!  Blogsville hear it now, it's a once in a life time opportunity, ~Sirius~ up for adoption, going once, going twice, going....(PS: not ready to freeze my butt off though- so Canadians take note)...OR I can aim for a fatter paying job that can afford an apartment in one of those sexy estates- but hey, that won't take the traffic away either, Mchewww!

2009 looks like its about to step into it's J's and sprint to December, so I'm putting mine on first and giving it a head start. Next week Tuesday marks a day in history for the entire world- Obamachukwu in the house. Woo Hoo!!! Jack Bauer and his crew had better be there oh!

Life is looking good amidst all the madness, and I'm happy right now......I think I'll have an achievement award for myself every month, and so for the month of January (even though it's not over yet) I can proudly say that for the first time in my life I have finally learnt how to let things go- by this I mean, I no longer dwell on the "why" questions , ladies you know how hard that is- why did he do this when we were*complete the sentence as the spirit leads you (LoL) and it's amazing how at peace you feel when you accept the fact that you can't change what has already happened,  but you have the power to affect what is yet to happen.......

Be advised :

"Your past is governed by your Memories"

" Your present is governed by your Thoughts"

"Your future is governed by your Imagination"

So do good to your future ........ 

PS: This "HELMET" (hair-melt) issue (A radio personality actually pronounced it that way several times over with all seriousness).......has me cracking up in traffic.  The guy with the paint bucket as his helmet wins my award.....and what's up with the construction workers hat?

Off to do my blog rounds.....I'm happy to see that nobody left, apart from ShaCrown who came running back. LoL (How dare she think she can up and leave).......adios amigos and have a fantastic week!

Yaaaaay!

Thank you, Thank you, you're far too kind, I never felt so much love all at once before - I'm blushing, I love blogsville, you guys really rock!.........Three days and mood swing is over- Sweet Twix thanks for counting. (Ps: Sad but true Tic Tacs actually look like cockroach eggs ewww!)
I noticed during my blog rounds nearly every one had some dark cloud over them including me, it's the middle of October people, the year is almost over forever- yep! It will never be 2008 again again, scary huh.
We might not have done all we expected for ourselves this year, but at least we are not where we used to be, or who we used to be. Putting aside our issues, I think it is time for us to put up one happy post for the year to celebrate ourselves, the things we have overcome and any achievement or achievements we bagged this year.
And people we don't have to wait for December because we make our own rules here.
So I expect enough Oooooh's & Aaaah's, Awww's and Wow's from your happy post (and mine :-))....................Adios Amigos! and have a lovely weekend.


I slept off while writing this post, and when I woke up to put it up I noticed my Childhood best friend had added the story below, Imagine waking up and your post is a paragraph longer........

**********
While a man was polishing his new car, his 4 yr old son picked up stone & scratched lines on the side of the car.In anger, the man took the child's hand & hit it many times, not realizing he was using a wrench. At the hospital, the child lost all his fingers due to multiple Fractures. When the child saw his father.....with painful eyes he asked 'Dad when will my fingers grow back?' The man was so hurt and speechless, he went back to his car and kicked it a lot of times. Devastated by his own actions...... sitting in front of that car he looked at the scratches, The child had written 'LOVE YOU DAD'. The next day that man committed suicide. . .Anger and Love have no limits, Choose the latter to have a good life
