Smart Sistas NGO Calls For Support For Its Event ~ CKN Nigeria

Back Again...Maybe.

It's been ages since I last sat to write anything apart from applications, Either for a position or for something not as fun. Anyway, I'm glad I am here now its been a two year hibernation from something that actually brought me a lot of laughs. A lot has happened in two years mainly, the world (or human race, your choice) drawing closer to self annihilation with every passing day. I've come this far wondering why everything seems so wrong (or right; Its all a matter of opinion!)The chaos I witness daily has taught me not to be complacent...The world is in a state of flux and like metal fillings affected by a magnet, we are constantly drawn one way or the other. We owe ourselves the duty of giving our best...there is always something to give, no matter how small. I actually feel good write now and I must thank my friend for pushing me to write; it seems a bit tedious, but it sure helps!

Still...

Wow...it feels strange attempting to write again! 2009 was eventful, I guess everyone had a story to tell but for those of us who made it through, look back and smile because you are still here!
I passed through the joys of love, travails of heartbreak and the bittersweetness of unemployment- a state I have never experienced before the eventful 09. But the year ended on a hopeful note because it rained babies all around me, friends had babies and my darling sister had her second and as I held my beautiful niece in my arms i experienced the essence of life!
I've come out of 09 with a certain calmness because I guess I saw it all and I'm thankful to be here. I thank the good Lord for his extreme benevolence in the form of friends who appeared at the point of my needs...you are all blessed and I hope I can be there when you all need me!
I learnt in 09 to be still...and in '10 I'm going to be unstoppable, I canfeel my midas touch sizzling at my fingertips and I'm rearing to go!

Someone I love dearly lost her job! Just when I thought things couldn't get any worse, Fact is; she'd been there all this while my butt has been on the labour market and now the most annoying thing is we are both in this quagmire. I am at a loss on how to console her...wish I could make it all go away!
So I stole some words from a Boys 2 Men song I really love, "HOLD ON";

If you just hold on
I swear that everything'll be ok
I know that you are nervous,
baby, give it some time,
things will go your way!

Just when I thought it's all good, a pal hit me up on facebook to tell me that a friend of ours had been kidnapped on his way to Abuja from Lagos. I believe he's going to be okay but I'm shocked at the ransome put on him;8.7 million naira. So what some great thinkers have done is put out an appeal on facebook and other interactive fora to the kidnappers. I join in to in pleading, he has got a wife and kids... haba! for the love of God!

What a day

Being unemployed is getting to be a bore. Don't get me wrong, it feels good to surf the web all day, no boss breathing down your neck and just to be able to take off and see the love of my life when it suits me but it don't pay the bills.
I have consciously worked on my weight loss and at least i'm making some headway in that department. I think I need to get out a bit but I've learnt that few friends like your company if you ain't got a job. I'm not complaining but I'm learning that there's only one person who can be there for you- God!
I feel free...sort of, a friend said it was my time to pass through the fire but it feels like I've been passing through the fire all my life.
Everyday is a revelation...

Ok....

I'm glad to be back. Ever since I lost my job writing has become painfully difficult, I just do enough of it to keep body and soul together. I'm so so tired and I almost gave up but I looked at a little of my work over the time I spent at NEXT and the nostalgic feelings are stronger. I did good, thanks largely to a patient editor, good friends albeit a few and God's unending favour.
Took a trip to Jos, spent a week, I had fun playing basketball and working out. I actually shed a few pounds. I saw pals and talked actually talked to her.
She still makes my heart beat and I do want her to be my wife. How in God's name am i gonna do this. She loves me but can she wait?
Anyways, I am back and I am stronger than ever... God knows.

Oh Yeah

I have been asking myself certain questions 'cos a lots been happening at work and play.
From lousy accidents with bike men to police harassing me for my looks (My hard features belie my soft gentle heart)
I feel pissed that some 'people' can't look you in the eye and tell you the truth.
Anyway friends (enemies too!) Just when I thought I was into a profession that suited my unique personality, someone who I had a lot of faith in starts showing his 'Nigerianness'. It behoves me that a purser can go prancing when his subordinates are finding it hard to cope ...Sorry guys, I am mis-venting but events have me asking myself... why I no stay for my financial sector where I was excelling?
Its great when the king says to his queen,
Lets go a-prancing on the green,
"Its alright" he says, "since we've had our fill,
The workers can continue to till"
For they matter little,
as they are run-O-the -mill!
Nice verse (lousy). Hey I feel better already
