Long Weekend Over :-(

It was indeed a loooog weekend, i wish Nigeria will have their democracy holiday every week...hehehe.

Neways, Highlights of my holiday: Reunion on Saturday, Euphoria on Sunday, Picnic on Monday...Sounds like i had fun abi?
Well, kinda! Reunion on saturday was uhm my fellowship from uni ( CLF), saw a lot of people i haven't seen in a while (except on facebook). It was ok sha, fine boiz showed up to ;-)
Euphoria was a worship concert on sunday, started @ 4pm, we got there around 5ish, Cobahms was there, it was uhm okaay, worship, everyone in the spirit and all. Truth is, i did not enjoy it at al, why? a lot of noise! the musical instruments were loud...sound effect was on point, but i have a thing for 'too loud' music. We left at 6ish, i had a terrible headache, had to use ibuprofen! That was that...I have accepted myself for who I am, too loud  and fastpaced music( gospel or otherwise) is just not me, gives me a headche. I enjoy it say once in a very blue moon, for a short period o,say 10minutes.
Picnic went well, church peeps, just played, ate and disappeared :-) ....There was a debate on who is worse at cheating and heartbreaking? Ladies or guys....I went for the ladies sha because even though guys cheat more, ladies too could be horrible...and many times, catch the guy unawares...most ladies get the feeling when their boo starts cheating, just that a lot of us ignore it! Neways, this is another post on its own...maybe later today, i'd be more elaborate on 'Cheating'!

Work happened in between (have a presentation tomorrow), and it's back to work again. This is my 3rd week here, so far, so good...fingers still crossed though!

Back to work!

Human Beings!

Had this funny experience today...some people are just there to get on your nerves...seems like the harder you try to not lose your temper, the more encounters you have with these agents of whatever...

Anyways, came across one today. I've been trying to work on my temper, because i tend to react when i'm angry and i hate myself afterwards.

So, this night, i took my lil sis to the hospital for injections (she has malaria and a throat infection), and some guy decides he wants to tell me how not to park, i ignore him, then i hear the insult of my life. Guy begins to rain curses at me, i was so upset, i did not say a word, i just sat right there waiting for my sis.
Neways, the guy went on and on till I reacted... I wouldn't say i failed sha, cos i did not react immediately and I kind of handled it better than i normally would have.
Total silence would have been better though, but, I am getting there. With God on my side, I am going to be a better person, by fire by force... By the way, my theme for this year is EVOLVE, so I am committed to evolving into a much better person- a person i would be proud of...

It's 4minutes till saturday, It's going to be a long weekend...
Just saw the movie 'Taken'...Nice movie...Time to sleep...nanyt! xxx

P.S: I need a boo, for real! Gets pretty lonely especially at weekends...no activity whatsoever to look forward to...I so look forward to getting into a serious relationship...I crave for love and to love..Enough mushiness, gotta go!

Fitting In...Standing out...Habits!

It's friday, yay! just got out of this meeting with my boss and colleagues...I feel sleepy! and a bit out of place still.
It's the end of week 2 at my new job, so far, so good. Settling in has been aii...Colleagues have been generally friendly, but i still feel like the 'new kid in school'... I guess it's inevitable sha that i feel like that.
Anyways, i also really want to be careful in fitting in. In as much as i want to stop being the 'new kid', i don't want to totally just blend in, cos i still need an objective view and understanding of my colleagues, especially since my role might come across as 'crossing territories' some times. I also want to be careful about not falling into habits i'm trying to drop, like talking a lot :D.
Yes, i talk a lot...sure blogging will help sha, imagine saying all of this to another human being ( Too many words).

Speaking of habits, i read it somewhere that if you do something continously for eight(8) days, it becomes a habit. I've been careful about talking a lot in the office and in general for almost 12days now( since i resumed last week), i pray it has become a habit o! Worked with our daily family devotion though, we have re-cultivated the habit, and it seems to have come to stay.Thank God for that...I have also cultivated the habit of saying a short prayer(devotional) when i resume work every morning....I pray that stays too, Amen!
So, it's 'drop one bad habit, gain at least one(1) new one for me!'....Let's see how it goes!

Enough rambling for now...ciao!

New Phase!

Yes, Yes, Yes!....
I got a new job, started lastweek monday. I feel like a new person too...A lot has changed since my last post, i have changed- majorly my thinking, priorities in life....I'd say i was forced to go back to the basics (as is the idea of this blog)....
I just read T-girl's blog, and that inspired this post ( Thank you Tgirl, mwah)...Yes...happiness...The question is how does one find that from within???Especially when society has its way of making you feel incomplete cos you are in ur late 20s and still single...People trample on ur feelings each day, and you just lie on ur bed at the close of the day and wish there was that special someone who you could tell about ur day...who, ofcourse, has got ur back...Not so easy, i must confess...but (yes i'm about to go spiritual), God can give us that peace, He can be that person we talk to...while we wait for the human, i guess...
Neways, this is a topic for another day...my new job is good, so far...haven't really made friends (not too sure i plan to anyway)...One thing i learnt from my last life (soounds goood :D) is that friendship, many times, gets in the way of getting the job done, unnecessary sentiments. So, for now, i plan to keep my colleagues as colleagues....
whew! It's 9:09, gotta earn my pay for the day...ciao
