Someone asked me what's up for the rest of the year, and then went ahead and answered it for me with church as usual? for some reason, even though it is the truth, that got me really upset and then again, it made me sad. The fact that i've become that predicatable.
On that note, i've not made a new year resolution in some years because honest truth is that i don't ever accomplish them, i just go with the flow while asking God to direct me. Anyway, i think i'm going to make some resolutions for this coming year. Of-course on top of the list is to live life a little more since i'm not married and have no kids to tie me down and i know according to my family, time is already against me so i guess i might try to enjoy the rest of my singlehood.
like my people say, "i'm going to start "catching" some fun! Beginning this weekend.

Thoughts inside of me
Song Coming to my head
"I know that i can make, cause the Storm is over now..."
I think it's inside one of Kirk Franklin's Cd's.
Thought in my head
"I'm letting myself go... enough is enough"
"Spirit is willing, but the flesh is week"
"I command everything that is within me, to respond to my will in the mighty name of Jesus"
if anyone is reading this, sorry if it makes no sense, i'm just writing because i want to be able to remember this in the near future.

Kids say the Darndest things
I have the opportunity to have young children around me in my daily life and i must admit, they really are a joy and a blessing. Somedays when one is feeling all gloo,. you hear a comment from a child and you just have to laugh.
Thought i'ld a couple of things i heard recently that really got me laughing:
From a little girl learning about sexuality, in trying to explain the different ssexual organs, she confirms: " He has peanuts, i have bigina"
From a child who is waiting to get water from a water: "Don't finish all the water in the water fountain, i need some too."
Kids truly believe whatever you tell them so please be careful what you tell your kids.
Scenerio: Someone was joking and told a 3year old little boy he was 5 not 3. I guess that stuck to the boy. The boy comes in the other day, and am having a conversation with him:
Me: So O, how old are you now?
O: I'm 5 yrs old
Me: 5? No, sweetie, i think you're 3
O: No, i'm 5
Me: O, you're only 3, when i ask you how old you are, say 3 ok?
O: OK
Me: O, so how old are you?
O: I told you Miss. Chic, I'm 5.
Well, that was the end of our conversation; i was not going to push it anymore maybe his parents will convince him later.
Another little child, (this is funny) now, this little boy's name is Tobi. Yes p, by default, Tobi is one of my people, his parents are straight up niajas'. Tobi is a handsome young boy that can not be mistaken for anything other than of african descent with all his beautiful dark features.
Someone had made a joke about Toby (from Roots) so a conversation btw the little child and the T goes like this:
T: What's your name? now, before the child could answer, T says Kunta
This happens about 4 times. The forth time, the child "kuku" answered Kunta.
An older friend ofmine just had her third child. The parents let the children name their baby sister and the name Gabriella from high school musical was chosen. The kids were happy but they wanted the boy from high school musical (can't remember the name now) to also be part of the family. A week ago, the older boy was heard telling his younger sister to look at daddy's tummy, his going to have to go to the hospital like mummy to bring the boy home.
Again, I love kids for real...

Okra Soup
Eba goes well with okra
Pounded Yam goes best with okra
Semo goes well with okra
Grounded Rice goes best with okra.
That's my opinion...
I just had Semo and Okra and it went well.
Couple of years back, when i was young and ignorant of the devices of the enemy, an aunt took me along with her to see some white clothed man, after dealing with her case, he must have seen some vision about me because he decided to voice out the fact that i must never eat okra again.
Prior to this, i had never had any reaction to okra so that was wierd, but as long as i was at home i stuck to the rule without telling papa schic. Well, as per being a boarder, and anyone who has been a proper boarder for secondary school in naija knows how it goes down in the dining hall. (Please ehh, i'm not talking about those boarders in schools like VF, A-Hall, Adesoye College, and the likes) I'm refering to those federal government boarders especially. So the first couple of weeks after semester resumes, i exchange my midweek eba and okra (or that watery imitation of okra soup) for someone else's watery beans.
Unfortunately, during that period when everyone is down on provision and visiting day is still a couple of weeks away, i shrenked that food deal and had to go and eat my eba and okra, nullifying any negative effect it may have on my body. Hence, back to eating my okra; except that for a very long time, all my visits back home, i never eat okra but going back to school was a thrill because that same eba and okra soup (ila alasepo) had become my favorite meal.
I'll take okra soup over any other kind anyday anytime...
