rants of an IT fly girl

We welcomed the first rains yesterday with gladness. Did we get to dance in the rain, no but we were glad it fell mightily. It fell in the morning as we went about our businesses, oblivious to those who  had no protection... But we had prepared and we welcomed the first rains... Remember how water was defined in primary school intergrated science class? Hence, my title. Writing prose in an African way will be fun. Yes it rained yesterday and some people were beaten by the rain. I always look forwards to the first rains I am the grand child of a farmer so I guess I have learned to watch out for... January has gone on by, tis the month of "agbalumo" here and mangoes will soon start popping up soon. The fruits cycle... I have amazing news I hope will get even better, happily looking forward to October already *smiles* I  was foolish to have a conversation with someone, a couple of months ago, who's it appears loves going about with tall tales. I have learnt my lesson, no to ...

I'm not a people's person when I choose not to be or when I am just tired of the people. I need to unlearn some of these habits that are just not good... One of my goals this year is adopting 'niceness' simply put as being nice. It's the first working day and I have to pretend I am particularly glad about seeing some people. Don't misunderstand me I just don't want to have to work with them. I guess i am being uppity and I have to suck it in. It's going to be tough, this goal of mine. Unlearning things are harder than learning I have come to know.  It's just a start, clash of two determinations..., I'll rise  I'm also ditching unfriendly friends with their mentally straining conversations and emotional brouhaha Lol. I took those words out of my mom's vocabulary.  I am excited about the year, events coming up, travel plans and projects to carry out. Here's to actions and achievements... Goal #3 & #4 Ps: I enjoy watching Productjunk...

It's the last day of 2015, it's been real!!! 365 days of mistakes, shortcomings, laughter, smiles, playfulness,journeys, walks, friends, dancing, new places, many many things Thankful for grace to be alive despite it all Made new friends, still have amazing friends and will be getting rid of unfriendly friends in 2016 My friend and I had a bit of a row at some point in November... I felt like a complete eejit. I am thankful we've walked... talked... over it... Irreplaceable friends are hard to find. I learned a lot, my first fully illustrated children's book comes out in the first half of 2016, I am thankful for some team ups I am involved with, soooo thankful. The last quarter of the year was the best for me, can't trade mine with anyone's I got a MacBook Pro, for me a huge errrr highlight, and then I got to meet amazing people in Ghana! Twas an experience I still relive. Thank God for videos So this new year, I am outspoken Goal #2. This year I will speak out ...

So I have totally had all sorts of posts in my headed i was planning to rant about after all this while, I didn't do my annual October 14 post, or my birthday post or even wish y'all a Merry Christmas... however, the one thing that has caused these rants is - planning for the year 2016 Sometimes i feel like i am in that garbage compactor in Star Wars Episode IV and all the walls are closing in on me... Finally i am taking a stand and going to do something about it! No i don't feel like i am in that scene because I recently watched the New Star Wars Episode, which in my opinion had NO.... NO plot! JJ Abrahams thank you for attempting to ruin Star Wars for me... I commend the efforts tho, amazing shots, especially the last scene where the girl meets Luke but story naa Hormonal Imbalance!! I have had this issue for a bit and i didn't want speak to anyone about it. I was going to speak to my GP in May and then i didn't. TBH, i have really let it affect me i...

The National Theatre is famous for being built during the military era of Nigeria and for looking like the cap of an officer. It is famous for other things but in recent years it had shared its compound with over grown large lawns and expensive food sellers… and that is how I found myself heading there to see a play, A Nigerian classic, a Prof Femi Osofisan play – Altine’s Wrath. This was done by a production company called  Thespian Family Theatre and Productions. Having grown up with a bit of the University of Ibadan in me I felt I had to see it. Got there early, good sits are very important, I think I am the only one who shares this thought tho. The  2pm  show didn’t start till  2:55pm  or so. If I wasn’t paying money and time to see this show I won’t be irritated, but it turned out I had paid money and time to see the show! We entered the theatre only to be told rudely about sitting and not recording the show, RME. Apologies are not in the vocabulary of the ...

I loved my adventure in Ghana. I am on a mission to create unusual experiences for  myself... Pardon my manners. Hello Blogville, it has been more than a minute. As usual, it has been that I was sort of lacking the "drive to type" So I talked about going on journey earlier in the year, however it didn't seem like twas going to happen. Then I considered changing the country option and then.... Ghana. And off I went to try out something new. My friend was a super amazing host, ensuring I was comfortable all the time.  Part of day one had me looking - yes o - looking for a hotel when I got in to Accra. Then I got the shock!!!  Telling a cabbie the street name will get you absolutely no where... This is an issue, imo I stayed at the Central Hotel Osu. It was a simple budget hotel and the staff was nice and friendly. Friendly I say cos this isn't particularly usual. Walked down Oxford street Osu. Yes they do have Oxford street, yes it is lined with shopping, no there is no...

This is the first time I am actually eating 5 fruits in a day!!!! I just feel happy about it. I am not a farmer, so sometimes I only have access to a certain number of fruits or even the number of fruits daily. Anyhoo, today, in no particular order (said in Davina's voice) I have eaten An orange An avocado, my superfood A banana An apple A pineapple  And so to bed, I will lie down a happy fellow!! Good night people....xxx......
