i don't particularly have anything to write but i just spent 200 naira on ticket so i get to write something.Am happy cos naija finally qualified for final in soccer..after a seriously dismal performance at the olympics..we really need this medals..by the time they finish sharing for everyone on the team..it will make up for the rest..tennis,athletics,field events and others.I wonder how long we are goin to continue been plagued by our lack of preparation, improper funding and general demoralisation of everybody..Anyway,i have to go and lie down,i seem to have caught a severe bout of cold...due to windy weather and bad cologne in this cafe..al this yahoo dudes really need to ease up on this things...
Finally,after all these stressful and gruelling months..i have finally finished my primary assignment..need I tell you how good I felt to finally be free!!!!phew...In a couple of days and posts i will be debriefing you about my experience as a corper in Awolowo's home town..you will think by that alone that I will have had a pleasant time in the place..IRO nla..For the first few days when I got there,the light barely came on so I felt it was just Nepa being themselves but after a couple of weeks i learnt how the timetable..One day in two weeks for you to charge your phones,iron your clothes,pump water if you are priviledged to have a pumping machine or finally finish that movie you have borrowed since d other two weeks ago..am sure there video clubs dont get angry for late return..Anyway lets just say i adapted fast..and made do with my candle and novels(Thank God am an avid reader) By the way,this just happens to be my Birthday month and am thinkin of just the perfect new hair do and have got it..this week i just may be posting new looks of me..if God grants me the 3500 i need to waltz into "make me" for a make-over. Will keep you posted for real..N.B..What makes a man cry? And how can you stop a man who cries too much from doing so..how do you delicately say "you have to be a man" or "your tears don't move me"..I need frank advice soon cos am too rude a person to stand dis for long..
Have been away for sometime now..handling my business and getting ripped off..first a student dies in an accident after an outing,and the wonderfully irrational indigenes felt we(corpers and teachers) were the murderers and came after the school in a rampage..the aftermath been that i had to run like i had not in a long time, and eventually when that didnt work out; i had to hide in a bush..i think a snake came down on me so i had to run out and keep running again.. I lost my Nokia E61 and had to pay 5000 to get that and my sim back..and to think that i thought i was going to finish NySc without any spectacular event..I know this all sounds colourful but believe me it was that bad..they had all sort of jazzy phizzle..the emphasis been on the jazz(if you know what I mean).
After that comes the Teacher's strike which made me seriously 'idle' but fortunately for me i stumbled artfully into a movie outing and a visit to Taqwa Bay..least to say i had a little fun out of the whole strike and at least i could wake up whenever i wanted..no Assembly,moral talk, floggin my students..my arms and limbs have had a well deserved rest..
The downside of it all is that am absolutely and unequivocally (permit the big grammar) B*R*O*K*E..the type with the Big Letters..since school is on strike,no visible help from there and did i mention that I no longer worry my parents for anything apart from transport and feeding and dressing and pin money and church money..lol..just kidding but i had to make do cos I spent the money I had on an outfit for a party i didnt end up attending (cos it be small boys party..mo de ti n pe nle) and believe me i have no one to blame but my greedy self..living above my means..I mean am just a teacher for Christ's sake.
Anyway in case you have not been to the movies to see PROM NIGHT then you don't know what you are missing and I suggest you find yourself a way to get there and see it..not every movie comes out looking nice in all those pirated 7 or 22 in 1 dvds' peeps are fond of buying..why don't you treat yourself and feel the beauty of the movie with the ambience and all the sound effects..(yeah, I know I sound like a bad advertorial
I got a text message from my childhood boyfriend..I quote:
'Imitation is limitation.Procastination is the fertilizer that makes difficulties grow.
Living a double life will get you nowhere twice as fast.Adversity has its advantages.
Know your limits,then ignore them.The only place to start is where you are.
There is no future in the past.Do what people say cant be done.'
Is he trying to pass a message..say for instance; am I procastinating to get back with him or marry him..cos I can recall certain proposals..Am I living a double life? dating someone else while am with him,but I guess the point is there is no future in the past so I have to face the present. Or was he just trying to inspire me? I don't think so..For some reason he spent 10# getting that to me.Couldnt he just have said ''Hi, S'alafia lo wa''?
