<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;">(FYI: Coco is an awesome friend of mine :*! You need to meet her to understand the word awesome though. hehehe!)</span></div>

<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;">When a baby is born, its a new beginning.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;">JOY; the joy of bringing a child into this world. HOPE; the hope for a better life for your child. DREAM; even before it can say 'mama', you are building a dynasty in the Milky Way. CHANCE; A chance at making a difference in life through its eye_after all the wrong turns you made of yours...</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;">That was me at the beginning of 2015. Joy, big hopes, big dreams, a great resolve for a better year...then life happened! </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;">Don't get me wrong, 2015 was not a let down. Seriously. I had some really great moments. Like ermmm...my hair grew longer, tried out some new food, I beat my record at Snakes (you know, that 2D game on Nokia 3310)...eerm, I grew my hair...(I think I said that before plus I'm quite sure thats supposed to happen naturally as the year goes by)... Errmm...what else...<br />Well, you get the picture. Nothing comes to mind now, but it was a good year.The best! Honestly! I bet you cant give me 5 awesome moments off the top of your head that can top these. *straight face*<br />Okay, this is starting to sound not very convincing... *aarrhhhggggg*</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;"><br />My point is; my greatest moments were the lessons learnt - <b>T</b><b>he </b><b>L</b><b>earning </b><b>M</b><b>oments.</b></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;">One of the biggest lesson I learnt this year is all summed up in what the Psalmist said in Psalm 127:1&2</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;">"Unless the Lord builds a house, the work of the builder is wasted. Unless the Lord protects a city, guarding it with sentries will do no good."<br />"It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late st night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives REST to His beloved."</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b><i style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-size: 17px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I learnt to fall in line with Gods plan.</span></i></b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;">While its good to plan, I have to come to realize that my life is not in my hands as it were, but in the hands of a mightier power. I have learned to align with His plan, however slow or 'not cool' it may be. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;">Like<i><b> </b></i>how dissapointed I felt sometimes about the turn out in my career this year. In the midst of my brooding, I'm reminded that His plans and purpose for me are of good and not of evil. I instead fix my eyes on the benefits (opportunities) He loads me with everyday and find a reason to believe. I discovered another kind of investment according to Matthew <a dir="ltr" href="x-apple-data-detectors://0" x-apple-data-detectors-result="0" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors="true">6</a><a dir="ltr" href="x-apple-data-detectors://0" x-apple-data-detectors-result="0" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors="true">:</a><a dir="ltr" href="x-apple-data-detectors://0" x-apple-data-detectors-result="0" x-apple-data-detectors-type="calendar-event" x-apple-data-detectors="true">33 </a>and then <i>dive</i><i>d</i> Into it. It may not yield any profit now pay for that waist trainer I've had eyes on, but I know He is not unfaithful to forget. Its going to pay off some day! Just ask the Cocoa farmer (have I lost you? Hmmmm).</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b><i style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-size: 17px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I learnt discipline.</span></i></b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;">Yep, I did it! Lost over 10kg this year! Bammm! But this doesn't actually mean I am out of the 'red zone'. Still a work in progress. In this lesson, I learnt to look forward. I paint a mental picture of my goal and that drives me. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;">Like the pictures I kept painting of myself in a red hawt dress and everyone staring at me in seismic astonishment! Chanting in total dis belief "Oh my God! You look different!" Turns out I didnt dream enough cause when my friends saw <i>the </i><i>new me</i> , they were spewing phrases in French. Now I feel like I can do anything, as long as I want it bad!</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<i><b style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-size: 17px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I learnt not to worry but pray.</span></b></i></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;">This was a battle. There was reality saying one thing, and there was the Word reminding me not to worry. I won sometimes _by refusing to worry_ but some other times, I let my fears have the better of me. I'm pretty sure this class would be carried over into the new year.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b><i style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-size: 17px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I learnt to make excuses.</span></i></b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;">Not for myself, I already have a degree in that. I learnt to make excuses for others. I have a friend (shout 'hallelujah' if you know its you) who has thought me so many things. One of them is to give excuses for people. The voice of reason if you like.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;">Like when she-who-must-not-be-named snapped at me. Or when I didn't get a response from a very important conversation. Or when I thought I should have been treated better because we go way back... <i>"don't take it personal Darl, shes probably going through mid life crisis" "don't worry, I will not respond when he's</i><i> </i><i>asking</i><i> me </i><i>something</i><i>"</i><i> </i><i>"</i><i>who cares if she treated me like </i><i>s</i><i>o</i><i>. Her </i><i>b</i><i>r</i><i>o</i><i>w</i><i> </i><i>n</i><i>o</i><i>t</i><i> </i><i>e</i><i>v</i><i>e</i><i>n</i><i> </i><i>o</i><i>n </i><i><i></i></i><i>f</i><i>l</i><i>i</i><i>c</i><i>k</i><i> </i><i>s</i><i>e</i><i>f</i><i>"</i>...<br />The point is, there is probably a thousand and one other things that could be going on with them. For all you know, Obama could have just un-followed them on Twitter "Don't take it personal" says the voice of reason.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<b><i style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-size: 17px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I learnt to be happy.</span></i></b></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;">I realized my happiness shouldn't be based on the big things alone. Being happy with the little things matter just as much. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;">Like when I'm walking down the busy Lagos streets at night with my ears plugged while I listen to great rock music. <img src="http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/15.gif" /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;">Like when I try out a new recipe_the kind that I am too spent to eat_ and then everyone else's so happy eating. Or when I meet someone new and a new friendship blossoms. Or when I'm simply just being 'me'. So what if the big stuff didn't happen this year? I like to think I'm rehearsing for the big ones.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;"><i><b>I learnt to be patient...</b></i> scratch that.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<i><b style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-size: 17px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I learnt to be positive.</span></b></i></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<i><b style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-size: 17px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I learnt not to dwell on my mistakes.</span></b></i></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<i><b style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-size: 17px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I learnt hard work never killed anyone.</span></b></i></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<i><b style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-size: 17px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">I learnt to the shear butter aka Ori is just enough for your hair.</span></b></i></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;">Very importantly<i>,</i><i><i><b> I learnt to be grateful.</b></i></i><i><b></b></i></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;"><i><i><b><br /></b></i></i></span></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-family: inherit; font-size: 17px;">Grateful for life. Grateful for health. Grateful for the roof over my head. Grateful for food on the table. Grateful for hair products. Grateful for friends... and new friends:<br />- For Al, I hate that she says better jokes than I do sometimes. <img src="http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/29.gif" /><br />- For Mr. Tart, I'm certain we will go a long way. <img src="http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/111.gif" /><br />- For my <i>rich friend,</i> she actually gave me 2 dresses for Christmas! You forgot to take out the prize tag though. Or maybe you did it on purpose cause you wanted me to see it. What!!? That could pay for someones house rent!<img src="http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/13.gif" />This friend I'm going not letting go. My birthday is coming soon, btw. <img src="http://l.yimg.com/us.yimg.com/i/mesg/emoticons7/3.gif" /><br />- For El, she's a friend with a story. I learn from her every time.<br />- For everyone at the fellowship group...<br />- For my smallies...and my baby!<br />- For all the other new friends that I cant begin to mention.<br />- For the old friends, I love you throway!<br />- For The-One-That-Got-Away. For your honesty, the way you made it easy for me to be myself around you, for the way you made me feel...I wish you got to know me more, then you would have known I am a fragile heart, then I wouldn't have to deal with all these emotions now that you are gone.</span></div>

At the moment I'm walking briskly to my house, willing myself to forget him and not let his stench ruin my happy mood. For what can I do?

If you know me well you'll know I'm an unrepentant reader and my case got worse when I joined The Book Fountain Tea party because every month I get a free book once I attend the book club meeting but that's a story for another day.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I blame this "sudden" book shyness on all of you! If it's not the lady in the bus beside me craning her neck to see what I'm reading or the guys at work who won't let me be because of the titles of my books! Una what should man pikin do? Seriously considering wrapping my books #secondary school style ;)!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyways in other news... Guess who's birthday is around the corner? As in 3 days time! He has brought me from a mighty long way!</div>

<div>
As I celebrate, it's a 3-in-1 something cos I'm celebrating...</div>
<div>
1. My Life! </div>
<div>
As in... I recently read a story on Bella Naija about a lady born on the same day as Yours truly and it's caused me to reflect inwards. Plus some other mushy stuff!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2. My Work! I'm grateful for the wonderful job I get to do every morning plus all the volunteer work I'm privileged to be part of. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3. My Professional Certification! So, part of the reason I've been MIA was exams. According to a friend of mine, after uni any exams u read for is like 'Adult Education' literally! (Check Out: Mind your Language TV series to understand my friend's Point )</div>
<div>
I'm grateful that I passed in one seating and it's finally off my to do list.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
#GratefulHeart</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
with love,</div>

Thought of this phrase some seconds ago and it made me laugh especially as it kinda shows how I feel. <div><br></div><div> I feel a little bit guilty... Cos I left work earlier than closing time. In my defense I had finished all the work on my table and a tad over-excited about the extra long weekend. I blame the cleaner too because he came to tell me how bad the traffic was outside. The next thing I knew it I found myself outside enroute home. <div><br></div><div>Bought boiled groundnut for the road *winks* see picture below of what I did to it afterwards*wide grin* </div><div><br><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb7BHn3XPmtwcrKcMheroYSm8nmY1OPWjNC2ifJpQieO3mNzS3e4lJKuAWc4C1Nf8qpwH0ZAF11Q9yjwo5s7xK0dFqOhHvZ1K9DEqOs_NX_jJNTK14w4Tha5dxlhPqVKrdgJGHzxkFuW8/s640/blogger-image--1703022108.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb7BHn3XPmtwcrKcMheroYSm8nmY1OPWjNC2ifJpQieO3mNzS3e4lJKuAWc4C1Nf8qpwH0ZAF11Q9yjwo5s7xK0dFqOhHvZ1K9DEqOs_NX_jJNTK14w4Tha5dxlhPqVKrdgJGHzxkFuW8/s640/blogger-image--1703022108.jpg"></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Yup! Put it on a tray as soon as I got home just to make sure I hadn't missed any and guess what? I found a few trying to hide and did justice to them *yimu*</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Anyways what's your plan for the weekend? Mine is activity packed and I'm yet to decide if that's a yay or nay. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Oh well! Still feel guilty and I think it's because I beat the traffic and got home some minutes before 6pm while it seems everyone else is either still at their office desk or just starting out on the traffic hussle home. But really should I? Shouldn't office hours be about how productive I am and not necessarily about the hours logged on the clock?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Have a wonderful weekend:)!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">P.s: Too hungry to proofread atm</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">With love,</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">Cee</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br></div><br></div></div></div>ceehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08834367501417157435noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-665672835577693013.post-8641357655097668362015-06-10T15:49:00.002-07:002015-06-10T20:48:38.757-07:00Blog Anniversary??Should I throw a virtual party? or do a giveaway to celebrate this special milestone? Well! Lemme confess... I honestly don't know the date I started this blog and ain't nobody got time to check my dashboard to find out the day I created the blog or at least check to see the date of when I posted my first blogpost. Oh well! A blog I follow celebrated her 5th blog anniversary in Oriental hotel in a big way yesterday... (Would update this post with her blog link and a link for pictures later).<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I think I started blogging in 2011 so I'm about four years into this! Omg! If only I was serious o! Who knows what my account balance would have been *winks* </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This is just me musing out loud... Lol! Hope you enjoy this new week especially Friday's public holiday that's if you work with Lagos State Government!!! Nobody really gets why we have "so many" public holidays but if you've done the Lagos commute to work everyday of the month you definitely need a day off as a reward :)! For the first time I miss working in the government school as a Corper because Friday would have been a laid-back home-chilling day! Oh well!<br />

P.S: This post was written on Monday and I still dunno how I forgot to post it then *scratches head* Would be back soon with more gist :)...<br />

<div>
It started with a conversation with a friend about another and now I'm here. Still testing the mic. There are only three things that could possibly go wrong:<br /><div>
1. I'll hate it and delete the account</div>
<div>
2. I'll become an addict... obsessed over people's lives (or worse self obsessed!!) and forget to come to Blogsville or</div>
<div>
3. I'll treat it like my Facebook (a 'former' friend that I know exists but can't be bothered to share updates of my life with).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm hopeful that None of these will occur especially option #2!!!</div>

The human mind knows how to cook up worst possible scenarios and oh boy the stories and tales of other people just helps to cement the fear in our hearts. I remember a lady saying that she got married to her husband while in university cause there was no guarantee that when she was done/ready that someone would be there if she looked over her shoulders. A friend of my aunt told me recently that she got a job a few weeks to the end of Nysc and that she left her PPA cause there was no guarantee that she would have a job waiting afterwards so she never got her certificate. For these two I think it worked out well Buh it's often not the case. <span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">What "crazy" thing have you done cause you were scared to dare believe? </span><br />

PHCN (or Nepa as we know it) has relented and given us light. Whoop whoop! I'm so happy to for the peace and quietness as a result of all the generators being switched off. This is my first blog post of the year. Just like Nepa I have been taking my time to do the needful :(.<br />

So I'm not going to blame my absence on the new year festivities or my trip to see my god daughter in Abuja or even the fact my router got angry and stopped working so I had to replace it. I won't even dare say it was because someone was lazy and had been procrastinating (mind you I started typing this two days ago). No I shan't because nothing cuts it.<br />
<br />
Plus Its February... the love month :). Love gives <b>nothing</b> but itself and that includes excuses.<br />
Cheers to Love and all it brings with it.<br />
Thanks for forgiving me :)<br />
<br />
and S/o to The blogger police + Toin for having faith and leaving messages *winks*<br />

Hey!!! WE made it @<a href="http://www.janylbenylshares.com/2014/12/and-i-finished-14-for-14-challenge.html#more"> Ms JB</a>, <a href="http://theaternotes-naija.blogspot.com/2014/12/1414-conclusions.html">T.Notes</a> and <a href="http://duruadolphusjnr.blogspot.com/2014/12/14-for-14-challenge-growing-up-december.html">Duru</a>. This challenge challenged me in a good way... Lol! The aim of the challenge was to revive the dwindling blogging spirit and learn the discipline of "sticking-to-something". Guess what? It achieved its goal! I have 14 posts to prove it *winks* and so do my 3 blogging buddies. I know its a bit cliche to say 'what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger' but I kinda feel it bests sums up this challenge. I know am stronger. Through this challenge I was privy to the fashion and style of the delectable Ms JB, I found and rediscovered amazing blogs from T.Notes sniffing and have been able to see life through the eyes of the young and confused Duru. Its really been an awesome run. Thanks you guys for all the ginger! Giving up was never an option :)!<br />

To write on only one of them felt like a restraining order and I couldn't do that. I dunno If I covered any of them well sef. Being as I only know things in part and I can't categorically say somethings only for MY OGA AT THE TOP to say another thing entirely, i had to be mute.</span></span></span></div>

I have gone outside my comfort zones to do more. </span><b style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;">Life</b><span style="font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px;"> has been beautiful. We had art class fun day on the 23rd and we really had fun :)! I also got involved with Slum2school this year and its been amazing. How can I forget my Nysc. This service year has been good. A respite of sorts. Teaching has its perks a.k.a flexibility. I'm not so excited about some of the grades I recorded after marking their scripts. Some Scripts made me blush while some almost made me doubt my teaching methodologies. </span></span></span></div>

I have <b>learn't</b> plenty things o! Both material (visible) and immaterial. I attended a few courses and acquired some skills +grammar (serenre) too. I haven't been as consistent in blogging as I should have and I know. <b>Relationships</b> have blossomed and some have died a natural death. Funny things have happened and more will happen.

So It's November already and Christmas is 6 Thursdays away *inserts dancing* !</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Not only that my service year is gradually coming to an end...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Today was a teaching free day! Continuous Assessment Test day!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also conducted the United Nations My World Survey TODAY for the kids in my school and I got all kitted up in my NYSC regalia to do it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It was fun and involved plenty pushing, shoving and excitement.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Most of the Kids voted for Affordable and Nutritious food + Good Education among other things :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Towards the end of the year, is always birthdays and celebrations galore for me. Saturday is my grandma's birthday! Whoop whoop! I have classes that day but hope to be back in time to "play" with her...She's a wonderful sumbori :)!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Funny how while talking with a friend a few days ago we both said simultaneously that we hated the question "what do you like to do for fun?"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
It sounds so regular and innocent that I'm sure you are wondering whats the big deal? right?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Well <b>five</b> things are wrong with it</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. Its over-used! I can't count how often I have been asked that in the past few weeks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. Its a trick! The guys claim to wanna get to "know" you *yimu* Na lie!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. Its a kind of personality test or some sort of "judge of character". Someone once told me I'm a selfish person since all the things I like doing are 'solo' - reading, writing, solving puzzles and doodling. Imagine the nerve!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. There's an underlying message. (go figure it out :p)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. Its Banal</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Now its my turn... what do you guys do for fun??! That is asides blogging and blog stalking ;)!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(actually joking 'seriously' Lol! )</div>

So here’s what I want you to do, God helping you: Take your everyday, ordinary life—your sleeping, eating, going-to-work, and walking-around life—and place it before God as an offering. Embracing what God does for you is the best thing you can do for him. Don’t become so well-adjusted to your culture that you fit into it without even thinking. Instead, fix your attention on God. You’ll be changed from the inside out. Readily recognize what he wants from you, and quickly respond to it. Unlike the culture around you, always dragging you down to its level of immaturity, God brings the best out of you, develops well-formed maturity in you.</div>

Well today I taught my class about Cave art and how cave men used to draw and paint on cave walls. As you might have guessed the class was hilarious! Someone even asked me why couldn't the men just draw on paper like normal people. Lol! It reminded me of my childhood and my fave past time.<br />

I won't pretend and say I was a docile child. Infact I was often the opposite. My parents had a standing order with the painters beacause of us. We loved to write, draw, scribble, doodle in fact we did anything and everything on the walls in our home. At a point they had to paint parts of the house textured paint and glossy paint in an attempt to deter us. It didn't work though. My brothers and I were determined to live our marks and tell the <strike>wall</strike> world we were here (We still are).<br />
<br />
*<i>In Beyonce's voice</i>*<br />
<i>I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time<br />Know there was something that, and something that I left behind<br />When I leave this world, I'll leave no regrets,<br />Leave something to remember, so they won't forget<br /><br />I was here<br />I lived, I loved<br />I was here<br />I did, I've done, everything that (He) wanted<br />And it was more than I thought it would be<br />I will leave my mark so everyone will know<br />I was here</i><br />
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i>
Truly, after all has been said and done that's what really matters... What mark would I leave on the wall of life? Would my Creator say Well done? This is what I'm learning and striving to do. Won't lie its not a piece of cake! (In pidgin.. pesin wey neva chop belleful u com dey ask am to remain for im pikin) God dey!<br />

<br /></div>
September has been quite wonderful and FULL of activities for me. I've had this post in my head for about 2 weeks now just didn't get round to typing it till now...<br />
<br />
This post was inspired by a post I read a while ago on Cassandra's blog <a href="http://www.cassiedaves.com/">here</a> on the things she was loving lately too. So here are my 5<br />
<br />
<br />
1.<b> Marc Jacobs Lola</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV803qsBVx6bPPqVeHx7ZZy0LpYy-3VbXP58jcWkHNlxWatAunnO7MPFGsq5k4R9JUfj4G6OcALa1-5jqd309GMB-KgzbWpp6tvEM2FzyoZI3zKyiUQZ8B-AYJj0BXQz5BaQYfgyg-Y4o/s1600/DSCF2670.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV803qsBVx6bPPqVeHx7ZZy0LpYy-3VbXP58jcWkHNlxWatAunnO7MPFGsq5k4R9JUfj4G6OcALa1-5jqd309GMB-KgzbWpp6tvEM2FzyoZI3zKyiUQZ8B-AYJj0BXQz5BaQYfgyg-Y4o/s1600/DSCF2670.JPG" height="320" width="289" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhHHuQNjuevqRuUUFOclvFG-7z1dFOMLgJ0aW4zEDI3V7Q2o61LMlSHrKQ3qBfWg3lZPwasqkG68uQwAQSATqkkv7sVGZgLfj6fgdVkGkUHfunVttWFsSyIsWFgJ9Rpzk5X7RfslCMJqiU/s1600/450x550__width__uploaded_files%5Eclassified_img%5Esnail4672268.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><br /></a></div>
I got this perfume as a birthday gift and I'm so loving it right now :)!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. <b>My Hair</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I finally got round to doing straw curls. Wondering what that is? Well its the reason why straws are finding themselves roped into ladies hair drama. My brother says he doesn't get why the ladies at work are doing it and now his sister too has joined 'em. *yimu*. I'm enjoying the bouncy curls and how my hair is off my neck. At the same time... its been raining a lot of late so I don't know how long I'll be able to pull it off :(</div>

2. <b>Smiling security personnel</b>: There's nothing as wonderful as seeing people doing their jobs cheerfully! I have met some very grumpy security men who are always complaining and looking for "appreciation" for doing their work. So I should pay you for opening the door or stopping traffic as I back out of your companies parking lot right? Makes no sense! A smile is still the best clothing accessory. You should see the security men I hail every morning on my way to work, They are happy and have a swagger!<br />

I had intended writing a funny post about how the new disease had affected my immediate family and environment. I would have written about my youngest brother's sudden love for bitter kola and my mom's suya microwaving skills or the fact that my brother's office bought cartonssss of hand sanitizers and gave all their staff. I would have also mentioned the 6am call I received informing me to add plenty salt to my water when bathing (apparently most people got 3am calls so I'm grateful for my sleep that was unperturbed).<br />

The school where I am currently serving closed for the summer last Friday. Yay!! So I'm supposed to start chilling right? Well not exactly. My work just began and it has nothing to do with marking scripts and compiling results. I volunteer with an organisation every August to help disadvantaged students in developing their literacy and numeracy skills. This is my fourth or fifth year doing it and as a rule each year can only get better... So work dey but God is as always more than faithful :)!<br />
<br />
There was a valedictory event of some sorts for the outgoing JSS 3 students on Thursday and the following are some of the things I learnt from the event:<br />
<br />
1. It doesn't take plenty people to plan a successful event. I'm of the opinion that only the principal and her secretary planned the whole thing. I stand to be corrected but most of the staff were surprised by a lot stuff including the yearbook given to the outgoing pupils.<br />
<br />
2. Students can undergo a complete 360 degree change when the music is turned on. I wish I could show you guys what I'm talking about. The dance moves were unbelievable! I really wish they could transfer a fraction of their enthusiasm to their studies. There are still a handful that have difficulty in reading and calculating basic sums.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The "he-pop dancers"lol!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
3. The school photographer makes money!<br />
<br />
4. It's the same set of students that get all the prizes. Its usually the first position in the class that gets the well behaved prize or the neatest student prize. Makes me wonder if intelligence is really linked to neatness and behavior...<br />
<br />
5. Students are quite observant once it involves food or money! I gave out my food pack to a student who had been following me around that day and you can guess what happened next... Also the Vice principal sprayed some dancers money and that was how the next set of dancers danced until they got their share too.<br />
<br />
Lol! July is almost over and I have succeeded in doing another Last minute 14for14 blog post! Next month I plan on breaking the trend :)<br />

A young and confused blogger (if you don't believe me read his blog <a href="http://duruadolphusjnr.blogspot.com/">here</a> and see what I mean) nominated me for the Liebster blog award. <span style="text-align: center;">Thanks John for this nomination :)! </span>I enjoy answering blog tags, check out my <a href="http://madamchiso.blogspot.com/2012/05/11-question-tag.html">11 question tag post</a> and my<a href="http://madamchiso.blogspot.com/2012/02/versatile-blogger-awards-nominations.html"> versatile blogger award post</a>. So without further ado, I'll answer his questions, post mine and nominate 11 bloggers.<br />

<span style="background-color: white; color: #383838; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;"><b>His questions:</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #383838; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #383838; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">1. What made you start blogging?</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">I have always loved writing so blogging (sharing it) was the next best thing. I found out about blogging in my final year from my room mate who called it her 'online personal diary' (won't tell you what it took to get the link to her blog) and I got fascinated with the whole idea.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #383838; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">2. Whats your real Full name?</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> Chisomebi </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #383838; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #383838; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">3. What inspires you to write?</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> People (in me, around me and the ones I hear about), life's experiences, </span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">the stuff my mind cooks up</span><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> and a whole lot of other things.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #383838; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #383838; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">4. Do you ever feel like quiting Blogging?</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Right now Noooooo!!! Lol! but in the past I have considered it...Sad right? I guess I felt I didn't have the time. I was always trying to beat a deadline or the other and people weren't making it easy too. They kept over analyzing my blog posts.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #383838; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #383838; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">5. Whats your most favourite post on your own Blog?</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">I'm sorry I don't have a favourite post i have favouritesssssss *tongue out*</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Anyways, I like my post on my love-hate relationship with Okadas (click <a href="http://madamchiso.blogspot.com/2011/08/my-love-hate-relationship-with-okada.html">here</a>) and the one about my parents <a href="http://madamchiso.blogspot.com/2012/03/truths-about-her.html">here</a> and <a href="http://madamchiso.blogspot.com/2012/04/april-fools-day-for-me.html">here</a></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #383838; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #383838; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">6. What do you like most about the Young and Confused Blog?</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">I like the fact that it's not a stereotype blog. It's hard to describe the blog so everyone just goes with the flow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br style="background-color: white; color: #383838; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;" /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #383838; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.200000762939453px;">7. What kind of person do I strike you as?</span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Aside the obvious, I think you are a nice person who thinks a lot about a lot of stuff. A real one who isn't afraid to be vulnerable once in awhile.</span><br />

Oh lemme give some background info about Liebster award. It is an online blogging award given to bloggers by bloggers. Liebster is a German word that means "favourite" and "beloved". So blogs with less than 200 followers which inspire such feelings are nominated/given the award. *wide grin*<br />

<br />
I went to a boarding school and like most, the dining hall was a world of it's own. It was the venue where the most embarrassing incidents and tales occurred. The two 'horrible' and 'earth shattering' things that you wouldn't want to happen to you in the dining hall were:<br />
<br />
1) <b>For your cutlery to fall</b>! I don't know what the big deal was but then it was just so wrong. All eyes would be on you immediately and they'll be judging you. The eyes will automatically label you a grub, glutton, FFO (for food only) e.t.c. The judging had levels too. If it was a fork it was moderate, a spoon was worse but a Big Spoon like the one below was the worst of them all.<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This was the basing Spoon!! lol</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">even Spoon get levels ;)!</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2) <b>For you to get a dining hall BADGE</b>! That's what you get when food spills on your uniform. The bigger the badge the more the shame literally. Breakfast badges were the most dreaded because you had to sit through your remaining classes with it. Only babies were permitted to get food stains. (That reminds me according to this theory, I was a baby last Saturday because I poured a whole cup of tea on myself at an induction event and I was still going for a wedding afterwards. Sad right?)</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>So what did the Dining hall teach me?</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
1. That if I remain in my cocoon and refuse to try out new things (meals) from other cultures, I'll be missing a whole lot. You won't believe it but I started eating fish and water melon in Dining hall. Imagine!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
2. How to eat fast! Aint nobody got time to spend an hour eating a meal.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
3. The person with the serving spoon is very powerful</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
4. Punctuality to the dining hall is key if you want to actually eat </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
5. All that glitters is not gold. Some meals look way better than they taste</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Corbel, Verdana, sans-serif; text-align: start;">So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.</span></div>
