It's About Time...

...No, I am not leaving blogspot.

*

It gets to a point in the year where you slowly shutdown. I am at that point.

*

Work has been great. The company is blowing up on a massive scale. I intend to blow with them.

*

Battling with my weight. Again.

I hear when you're happy you gain weight. *KMT*

Why is it so hard to lose the last 5kg? ......So, it’s on to weights and some cardio.

*

Found myself in a bridal shower last Sunday.

The girls in Lagos leave me speechless all the time. I quickly ran back home after winding my waist to Olekun for 2 minutes *wink*

*

It’s Tv season. Fringe Rocks!!!!

Of course life can’t be complete without weekly doses from the Upper Eastside & Wisteria Lane.

*

And I believe I’ve made only 3 dresses out of my six. I really need to learn how to sew.

Tailors can be so annoying.

*

I am tired. I need a break. I need a holiday. I need time away from the hustle.

So………..I’m packing my bags and whipping my hair back and forth!!!!!

Words From Within......

Death is seen as something negative, because it takes away a loved one.

Death can be seen as something positive, because it acts as a reminder.

A reminder that we are still alive and breathing

A reminder that we have the opportunity to make things right again

A reminder that we can still tell the ones we love know how much we truly love them.

A reminder that we have the opportunity to make the right choices from now on.

Sometimes we get carried away with the things happening around us that we forget to focus on the things that truly matter.

So what he broke your heart……….You are still breathing, so I guess your heart isn’t broken after all.

Yes he left you…..there was actually life before you met him.

Home is not the same anymore…….you were going to move out anyway

The marriage isn’t working…….(Sadly I haven’t been married so I can’t help here)

School sucks……It’ll be over in no time.

The office is a nightmare…….that’s why that’s not the only job in the world.

It’s the little things in life that make life worth living.

So if you’re having a bad day or NOT

Love you partner a little bit more, flaws and all (that’s what makes him/her perfect for you)

Work hard and believe you will be rewarded sooner than later, because you will.

Study harder; a time will come when school will be over for life

Love yourself………..Be at peace with yourself.

Learn from your mistakes and never regret the experience

Every step we take affects the lives of the people in our life.

Don’t run over anybody in your life.

I don’t know where this came from, but I feel strongly that someone out there might need it to make the right choice that would change his/her life forever.

Life is a Stage…….play your part right.

*Random (Song(s)) Post

Phewww!

The real world is trying to suck me in, trying to steal my Mojo, Never............I Defy it!

 People are All the same

And we only get judged by what we do

                                                                                                                       ~Sugababes

Work has been crazy, and life crazier. Suffered a serious case of insomnia last night.....

So bad, I did the dishes at 1:50 am, cleaned the kitchen- ipod in ear, washed  random things, arranged clothes, picked out my outfit for work.....went back to bed and still no sleep.......Ipod still plugged in and the time is now 4:38am, Lying down- music drowning my soul. I would have to get up for work at 6:10am.......It's amazing the songs you connect with at such odd hours- And why does the Ipod skip the everyday songs at this time of the night?

So Just like a Pill- by Pink begins to play........

I haven't moved from the spot where you left me
This must be a bad trip
All of the other pills, they were different
Maybe I should get some help

I can't stay on your life support, there's a
shortage in the switch,
I can't stay on your morphine, cause its making me
itch
I said I tried to call the nurse again but shes
being a little bitch,
I think I'll get outta here, where I can

Run just as fast as I can
To the middle of nowhere
To the middle of my frustrated fears
And I swear you're just like a pill
Stead of makin' me better, you keep makin' me
ill
                                                                       ~Pink

This song has my ex written all over it. Last week was his birthday, and Nope I didn't play Miss Nice. No phone call, No text and No email. I'm Not on FaceBook and neither is he so scratch that too.

Life is really funny and strange.........you share the world with someone for as long as 6 years, you think the world revolves around only the two of you, and then a couple of months down the line, you don't even have the person's phone number.

You move on...........And find out there's another world out there, way better than what you had.

I have a hard time understanding some things in life, it has to do with the human race and how the think or process right from wrong, or even worse, how they don't have a line separating right from wrong knowing fully well that every action they take affects the next person.

The fact that my lines are clear doesn't mean others should have clear lines, right?- Wrong.

B finds her way through my earphones and steals my heart with this song, since sleep has refuse to find me.

Me myself and i
That's all i got in the end
That's what i found out 
And it ain't no need to cry
I took a vow that from now on
I'm gonna be my own best friend

Me myself and i
I know that i will never disappoint myself
I must have cried a thousand times
All the ladies if you feel me
Help me sing it now
I can't regret all the times spent with you
you hurt me
But i learned a lot along the way
After all the rain
You'll see the sun come out again
I know that i will never disappoint myself

                                                          ~Beyonce

At the end of the day, we only have ourselves. Our happiness lies in our own hands, Don't expect someone else to make you happy. (Married folks are exempted.......I think*)

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

~Sirius’ Boss~

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!

LONG HAUL FLIGHT..........

Ladies and Gentlemen this is your Captain Speaking, On behalf of me and the entire crew I would like to  welcome  you  aboard flight YR 2008, a non-stop  service From LOS Y2-8K  to LOS Y2-9K. Take off time is 00:00hrs 31^st December ETA 00:00hrs 1^st January, we will be flying at an altitude of the highs and lows of my life. At this time make sure your seat belt is correctly fastened, Also we advise you that as of this moment coming to terms with your present situation is a crucial key to redefining your future. If you have any questions about our flight today, please don't hesitate to leave a flash of light. Please Note: NO excess baggage Allowed; Pain, Hurt, Anger, Grudge, Unforgiveness, Confusion.

LIFE: I never imagined I would grow so much in just one year, I never imagined that I would find myself in more than half of the situations I found myself in. Overall it’s been a very successful year, I might not have bagged all I thought I would, but I can pat myself on my back and say I’m proud of myself.  So I’m older and wiser-Thank you God, I’ve decided to simplify Thank you- (you know yourself :-)) and live life.

I live on certain principles. In every situation I faced this year, I was rescued by either one or more of them, so I choose to share my very simple but powerful words with you, so as you move into the New Year and face new things these words are with you.

·     Life is about choices: Make the RIGHT CHOICE today.

·    The Will of God cannot place you where the Grace of God cannot keep you.

·    God CANNOT give you more than you can bear (you are created to survive any battle you find yourself in)- aaah My favorite, danm any circumstance!

·    The Lord will provide ALL my needs- so no need to worry even though the bank account maybe half / totally empty, help is on the way.

·    Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself (I must say this one is hard- sometimes I just can’t help but worry)

·    I was NOT born to suffer (if it's not worth it, then don't do it)

·    Comfort is the name of my game. (it's not about being spoilt, it's about loving myself)

·    We only live once (take the risk, you never know)

·    Everything happens for a reason; hence all things work together for good- even if the outcome isn’t want you want- I Live by this

FAMILY: Does anyone come from a normal one? I doubt that- we are all crazy and we love each other and that’s all that matters- my parents have been together for nearly 30 freaking years! And my dad still cooks for her- Jeeze! They annoy me to my bone marrow!

WORK: So I served this year, 1 more month to go, the only corper retained effective Jan 1- even though my service year isn’t over, with a proposed fat ass pay cheque (Woo Hoo! Where my Christian Louboutin and jimmy Choo’s @ LOL!)- that’s my Light shinning,  contrary to what people may think, if you are light you will always shine even if you don’t mean to.

RELATIONSHIP/FRIENDSHIP/LOVE: * Exhaling. My year old relationship has taught me more than I could have ever learnt in 6 ½ years. Yes I faced the biggest demons ever, demons that I didn’t know existed, demons that break you down and you ask yourself, what the hell am I doing here? After all I was better off all by myself before he came along. I thought I had seen it all until  I had to learn the  greatest lesson of love and true friendship, I was amazed to say the least, amazed at the strength I found in myself  for my friend even though the situation crucially affected my own heart. And I’m glad I could be there for him.  I guess now I can understand a little how God must feel- Being there for us even though our current state is hurting him. 

Well it’s a new year, Renewal of my Love for God, a renewal of love and friendship, new pay cheque (Woo Hoo!), So my good people dust of your shoulder and have a F-A-B-U-L-O-U-S 2009!

On behalf of  My Life Airlines and the entire crew, I'd like to thank you for flying with us on this trip and we are looking forward to seeing you on board again in the near future. Have a nice year!

“Destiny is not a matter of chance

It is a matter of CHOICE;

It is nothing to be waited for,

It is a thing to be ACHIEVED”

Dear Diary.......

I was Tagged by Buttercup to tell two truths and a lie, and you're suppose to figure out the truths and the lie, Well here it goes,  Can't think of anything right now , so i am out rightly stealing one of your lines B.

1. I have had 1 Puppy Love, 1 Ex, 1 Fling and 1 Man. 

2. I had a crush on a girl once.

3. I 've been embarrassed once when the silt in my skirt tore all the way up my ........

That done, it's been a pretty busy month, my Christmas carols reaching a hundred and thirty! Can't wait to see my sister in exactly 18 days, It's been a year since I last saw her, and I've missed her terribly. I honestly need a break, a change of environment and some shop therapy and that's how I intend to start the new year, no doubt about that.

Work is going to be hectic for me for the next two weeks......*exhaling* I can't wait for that to pass. 

Life is full of unexpectancies, I know for sure if I was told I would go through certain things this year, I would have said you're kidding me right? but I guess most of those things we least expect happen for a reason (I am a strong believer of all things working together for good) and that reason is to make us who we are suppose to be. After all :

God doesn't give you the people you want, He gives you the people you NEED  -  To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you were meant to be.

But on a brighter note, I can say I've grown this year in sooooo many ways, and I'm thankful to the people in my life that help me grow into the better person that I am now. I've always loved reading and writing as a child, I had secret diaries and journals but I abandoned them a long time ago when life took its course......I took a bold step and rekindled my love for writing here on blogspot.....and I can say I am happy about it, but it's typing which is a lot different,  I noticed these days due to modern technology one hardly ever handles a pen to actually write more than 1 or 2 lines (sad init?).........In fact I am going to buy a writing book- the ones they used to teach us in kindergarten.

Listening to " Northen Skies- Dido"  I'm in the right mood for work to day........looking forward to the EXPERIENCE on Friday, this is the 3rd time I will be attending, and I tell you it's worth every second of it, You should be there too.

......Uhmm, don't have a title.....

Lately I realized that I spend most of my time reading blogs, or peeking at what’s new on FB instead of getting work done,  and I’m seriously working on it, the cool thing though is I actually get my work done by close of work :-), So yesterday I vowed I would concentrate 70% on my job (It’s an A by the way),  and I was doing good until my girl from across the Atlantic sent me an email, accusing me of holding back juicy gist about a common acquaintance on my side of the Atlantic. (gist flies I tell you). Lost by her accusation, I replied asking what I’d missed out on about this acquaintance(let’s call her Cuddles),  I also wondered what could be so hot about Cuddles that I hadn’t heard about, getting back to work, the bombshell comes in and that’s how my concentration dropped to 30% for the next couple of hours.

She had just heard that Cuddles, who had been dating a very good friend of ours was almost, if not married and heavy with twins!!!, only about six months after she lost interest in our dear friend..(yep she was in between guys). I instantly became cold, and whilst trying to digest what I had just read another email comes in ……..(It gets worse!!!!) Cuddles’ baby daddy apparently had been engaged, and his fiancée was in the States planning their wedding!! and the whole time Cuddles had no idea. I froze.

Immediately my heart went out to the once happy bride- to- be, I tried visualizing him breaking the news to her, and what her reaction would have been.  Where does she begin? After getting that far, I know it’s better off for her to have a broken engagement than a broken marriage, but the pain she would have to go through, cancelling the wedding, meeting someone new and starting all over again, even I would opt for singlehood until death do me part.

In life change is the only constant thing, for me, I evaluate the worst that could happen in every situation and hope for the best.  What freaked me out the most was that it could happen to anybody, me, you or someone you know.

On the other hand I did a good deed today, I put a smile on a (colleague’s + his girlfriend) face = priceless (4 me). It was her birthday, and he decided it was time he became a man, so I hooked him up with a divine engagement ring at short notice, as his plan “A” messed up.  He had her birthday parcel delivered to her office with the ring in the cake, and she loved it!!!~ I can be a creative romantic, which means I’d need more than that to wow me, so my man had better have more than that up his sleeves, but hey, if it worked for her then that’s all that matters……It’s a loooooooong weekend, and I’m gonna make the most of it, you should too.
