Grateful!!!

It's thanksgiving week in yankee but as Christians we're taught that everyday is thanksgiving. Atleast everyday we have a reason to thank the good Lord; if nothing else, for the fact that we have life. Sounds wierd, but not all have get such a privilege...

can u imagine someone who had the day planned out...drop off the kids at school, go to work, after work pick the kids up from afterschool, oh maybe she should stop by the groceries before picking up the kids, it may be easier without them, coming out of the grocery store, all of a sudden she slums down and blood all over, gun shot had been heard...some silly teens by the gas station got hold of a gun, practicing shotting...they miss-fired! A 36 year old life has been lost.

Or is it the 5 year old child who fell down on the Monkey bars at school, was rushed to the hospital but for some wierd reason did not make it there...

Anyway, i bet u get the gist now sha...The gift of Life...

I've got my own little worries that i allow overwhelm me sometimes and keep me down, yesterday was one of them. I actually went to bed saturday consciously telling myself that i was not going to be happy and i took that attitude to church on sunday.

Thank God for the worship and the worship leader and the the one scripture that came during the prayer session. "Let everything that has breath praise the Lord."

I looked around church and saw pple dressed nicely, i began to think- i really didn't have to walk to church. I was in my nice warm car i bought with my hard earned (even though small) salary; infact i'm still paying for it sef, thank God for "car note." I actually sepnt over a hundred dollars on my hair this same week, and still put a new pair of pants and a dress this week...

I have a roof over my head, and am warm at nite in my own bed with my fairly still new bedsheets and even comforter...

So why the heck i'm i making myself sad???????

It could have been a million times worse!!!!!!!

I have what we call a "budget" with God. It's a list we make at the beginning of the year of things we want God to do before the end of that year; and i still need to double check it but somehow i can outrightly say that i remember a few things from inside it and i can tesify that God has been good!!!

I left this, and coming back now, i've lost track of the point i was trying to make.

But i think it had something to do with just being grateful to God for little mercies...

I already know i'm a bit of a careless person but this has been the most annoying one in a while...i lost a set of very important keys at work. A co-worker of mine was quick to tell me that i should just still the principal's bunch of keys and go and duplicate them...me i figured i still had to report the keys, Godforbid some important children's files/documents are missing they would look for all of us that have keys...infact, the girl still told me earlier today that all i had to do is get my hand on the principal's keys and she'll do the rest...hmm...now i wonder why she was so eager to help...

Anyway, just found the keys as i had used it to hold the last page of a folder i had been working on last week...and i guess since last week, i've not picked up the folder sef...lol...can someone say careless!!! abeg, i know...but it's a relief sha...i was tired of boring keys to get in...

on another note, i'm inclined to mention as per it's all i'm hearing here...that i hope all those people eligible to vote have at this time gone out to go and fulfil their civic duty abi is it right?

on another another note, i just remembered something that happened last week that i had been meaning to share...again, men sha!

I met this guy, let's call him femi earlier on during the summer at one church's single's event. It was held at D&B so there was a lot of mingling going on. Anyway, Femi caught me of-guard and was really loud and since church people were there and all and the whole point was for people to meet people, i sha gave femi my number. Femi called me a couple of times and God forgive, i really thought the guy was a joke...he was funny though so whenever i was in the mood i picked up his calls....infact, he disturbed me one day so bad that he wanted to see me so i invited him over to where i was...i was away from my house that weekend...Truly, that visit only confirmed what i already knew...

Anyway, Femi too stopped calling me like that after that visit sha...i think i spoke to him maybe 2 months later and that was it...

Well, last week i get a call and it's from Femi!!! I'm honestly surprised as had even forgotten bout him. At some point, our conversation went thus:

Femi: So, how have you been, u just fashied me sha
me: I could have sworn it was the other way around, u fashied me...(who do i kid?)
Femi:ok oh, anyway, so are you married now, are you pregnant?
me: married ke? pregnant ke? not possible!!!
Femi: so why did you fashie me now? ok, are you seeing someone?
me: i didn't fashie u, other way around...and no, i'm not seeing anyone
Femi: ahh, ok so what about me? i thought we were having something?
me: ok, i kid, i'm seeing someone...sorry
Femi: are u sure?
me: yes now, haba!
Femi:for how long now? because we talked in June
me: emm, it's pretty recent sha...lol
Femi: why now? what about me?
me: at this point i'm laughing (by the way, i tend to laugh bout a lot of things...real goofy)
me: well, when i didn't see u i moved on...lol...
Femi: ok, i hope his good to you sha, if it does not work out, remember me
me: emm, i sure will
Femi: ok, what about that your friend that you were with at the place?
me: who? J? eyaaa, she's fine oh
Femi: Is she seeing someone too?
me: (of-course i'm laughing again, thinking to myself what a joke) yeah, she's seeing someone too
Femi: well, do you have any friends you can introduce me to?
me: i'll have to go think bout it, most of my friends are either married or in a relationship
Femi: ok oh, please think about it and call me back

Our conversation sha ended somehow and i just couldn't stop thinking the guy must be silly or is it me?

The year is coming to an end...na wa oh...

I WANT TO GET MARRIED!!!

Now, people that know me well enough will very much be surprised!! Infact i hear my dear freind J shouting some serious 7 halleluyahs on my behalf...lol

The thought, i won't lie, scares me like heck because too many times i'm convinced i have issues....and i'm not too good in the relationship department sef....even though i'm being considered for singles coordinator at my church...lol...but i have this nagging feeling telling me i want to...lol...(best way i can explain the feeling)

I want to blame it on a number possible reasons but all the reasons i can think about have always been there and they've never bothered me:

1. fact that a very old and dear friend of mine just contacted me and she's in the U.S. having a baby. (Not the first of my friends to have kids)

2. The new wedding webbies that Omosewa put up...lol... (I've been drooling on wedding webbies for bout 2 yrs now)

3. I'm about to turn a year older ( I've been turning a year older and marriageable age for about 3-5 years now)

4. Spoke to daddy schic this weekend and he mentioned that he was "expectant." Daddy schic never really talks about marriage...even though i've heard he expresses his concerns to others who then bring it up to me...

5. I'm currently being chased by atleast two men that i believe are very much eligible...inspite of the fact that i do want to get married, i can't go ahead with any of them...except ____________

Is something wrong with me??????????

I have a migraine!!!!!

I had to come write real quick before i forget again. Now i thought this was really funny...

this place is full of females and as expected there is usually quite a bit of talk going on about relationships on a regular basis. I've got this co-worker that we kinda became friends outside of work by hanging out occassionally, so i guess i can officially call her my friend now sha...

Anyway, whenever talk come up on relationships she's quick to say that we're the two last single women on earth and me on the other hand have been telling them "i'm getting married next year"for atleast 2-3 years now...lol....

let's call her "Amber" (hmmm...and i like the name oh). She does not date much even though she's in like 31/32. Anyway, Amber met this guy bout 2-3 weeks ago and they've been talking on the telephone. Yesterday, the dude calls her up and ask if she wants to go get something to eat. Since she was not doing anything and even left work early too, she kukuma went.

Somewhere during dinner, the guy tells her straight up that he wanted them to go back to his place so they could do the "do."...lol...Amber says she's stirring at this guy like his crazy or something and of-course she refuses. She's like she actually asked the guy back if what he said made any sense since that was the first time they were seeing after their initial meeting and yet he wanted to take her home for a screw.

She went on to give the guy a lecture on aids and all other sexually transmitted diseases (actually, she's kinda passionate bout that- i think she's originally from DC too so she usually has a lot to say). That he didn't even know what she carried and neither did she know what he was carrying and yet he wanted to take her home...lol...

Funny guy, told her he already knew the steps and since he had been talking to her, he was confident that she was clean...lol...The steps i asked and she explained..according to the guy,

the first date - a girl says no;
second date is still a no but she'll go home with him and make out
third date- is also still a no but with a little push, they'll get down to it.

I swear i bursted out laughing!!!

Amber said she was frantic!!! lol ...i thought it was funny...

Now Amber wants to know what ever happened to talking about solutions to world hunger and peace, politics, and society on dates?

I'm not much of a dater myself so i wouldn't know what conversation is appropriate but i bet it wouldn't or shouldn't be about going "home"

A while back i started putting up profiles of individuals in an attempt to help many, including myself, find love. I think most of the people that put up profiles were females and maybe we had 2-3 guys or something. Like too many other things i do, i truly didn't follow up on it. Not sure how i would have sef...when i started it, infact i had thought about doing albums with pictures and so many other ideas...lol...

Anyway, i recently got an e-mail that a gentleman (atleast i presume) was interested in a certain lady he had read her profile on here. We've been working on the logistics of what would follow after showing interest. I thought it was only fair for him to also put up a profile just incase a lady finds him interesting. Thus:

Age: 30
Sex: Male
Occupation: IT consultant
Religion: Xtian
State: Benue
Country: NIgeria
Age Range Partner: 24 - 30
Looking for lady : Within Nigeria (Any Part of the Country)

Well, we've moved on from that point...the lady being sort has accepted to communicate and thus we're doing it via e-mail to begin with....let's wish them luck....think it would be cool if something nice comes out of it!
-_----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Unto other things

So i'm beginning to feel like i should be back in school doing something. What it is i should be doing or what i want to do is not completely clear to me. I've got a couple of options of what i think i should do and honestly, i think i'm officially confused.

See, i've got a second degree already. My thoughts in recent times have gone from going to do a Phd to going to get a second masters, to going to law school sef...or just go do some certifications....I had mentioned to the folks that i was going for an information session on a Phd program for one school and of-course the only thing they had to say is that they hope the guy won't run from me.

I know one thing for sure though, that i'm on the right part to whatever it is i want to do. Even though the situation is small right now but i've been having this thing in my mind that the experience i'm gaining from this "mini job" is preparing me and is going to be very very useful to me down the line.

Now, the funds to pursue this is another thing...but then again....i'm a BELIEVER...and nothing is beyond God!

Hmmm.....

Ok, my return here is even as bad. I really thought i would come everyday and update....really, i usually have the stuff in my head but the first chance i get to actually blog, i really don't remember what i was going to blog about.

Anyway, watched pretty woman last nite and by God! for some reason i can't get over that movie...regardless of how many times i see it. It's like my all time favorite sha...

Sometime last week, a friend of mine came online and we had this conversation:

friend:I am feeling real funny
schic :funny like how?
friend:I dont know what is wrong with me
schic: stomach? head?
friend: My former girl friend in Nigeria is getting wedded next week
friend:and i have been feeling real funny for real
friend:I did not tell mope(gf)though
friend:but it is really making me feel funny
schic: lool
schic:sorry to laugh
schic:but funny as in how?
friend:I dont know schic
friend: I dream abt her now
schic:like maybe it is u that should have been marrying her?
friend:no not like that
schic:hmmm...o ga oh, do u still talk to her? maybe u need to talk to her
freind:u see i dont know; yesterday unconsiously i went to pull out all her pictures from my pile
schic:if u had a really close relationship with her then it's kinda expected
freind: It was extremly close

o.k, i'm tired of trying to post the conversation and changing names. Anyway, the point is that his been really feeling somehow that his first love is getting married. Now, i want to say i understand the feelings but not completely. When the first guy i ever dated in here got married, i didn't feel anything because i was waayyyyyyy over him and had passed the wierd stage because his sister and i became very good friends and i still ended up at their house on a regular basis...even though the ending of the relationship was not very nice.

Now with this friend of mine, his got a very sweet fiancee. As in, even as a female, i can testify for the babe anytime. She's like the perfect wife material lots of guys would want. I've seen her submit to things that even i know i would never do for a man. I can't really explain it, but i sha know she's correct like that.... don't men always say they want submissive women?

So, this wierd feeling, i've been thinking bout it trying to justify that is it normal? I know guys are not usually sensitive but he still wants to talk bout it...i'm also wondering, should this kinda feelings be there if he himself is engaged to someone else?

hmmm...this post looks like it's long enough... have to come back and do a post on that hook-up thing i had going on here a while back...we may have a match...lol....

Can't remember whose blog now, but the person had made a good point about if bloggers ever wondered what happened to a blogger who has left blogsville...actually i think it was Mr. Tobenna....anyway, i'ld like to explain y i left temporarily, but honestly, there is no logical explanation. I think i just sort of lost it at a point...including visiting blogs...

Along the line, i found out that i'm the "world's worst most annoymous blogger" (quoting my cousin)lol. For anyone who had followed my blog long enough would know that i had written mainly about 3 guys in my life...F1,2, and 3. Well, to my disappointment, both F1 and 2 found the site. I don't remember writing anything majorly bad about them, thank God for that, but i guess it was still enough sha.... Funny i always had an inking that F1 knew the site or he would find it, and the way F2 found it is still most puzzling...lol... Anyway, i didn't think it was fair after a while, and as such have deleted every post related to them (or atleast i hope i have, i'll check again...hehehehe...)

I did miss my blog though! think i signed in every day! ok, i confess, i did a couple of posts while i was invisible....i deleted those too...hehehehehe....now, those were incriminating ones so NO WAY i could have kept them....

While i'm still annoymous to some, and to others, not, i figured i might as well open it back up....i like writing, and i've had days where events/incidents have happened and i've thought about coming to blog about it and then i just don't find the urge to when i get on the computer...but i think i'm back now for good! well, hopefully....

TGIF!!! Going out of town this weekend with family, hopefully that turns out well....still have not figured whose car we're using and who is doing the driving, yet we plan on leaving real early in the morning...hmmm....
