Guilty con-con

In secondary school, it was called "guilty con-con"; the invasion of the guilty conscience on a person's mind/emotions causing one to be sober/behave sheepishly/rethink one's actions. Thought of this phrase some seconds ago and it made me laugh especially as it kinda shows how I feel.   

   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. 

Bought boiled groundnut for the road *winks* see picture below of what I did to it afterwards*wide grin* 

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*

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. 

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?

Have a wonderful weekend:)!

P.s: Too hungry to proofread atm

Blog 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).

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* 

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!




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 :)...

Village matters

Hi people, so this post has been in my head, heart and mind for over a week. The good news is that It finally found its way to the blog ;) 

I went to a village in Epe area of Lagos as part of the World Malaria day campaign with Slum2school. I learnt some things that day...

1. Contentment: there will always be a village with more amenities and people than yours so calm down enjoys yours.

2. The people in the village rarely fall sick contrary to popular belief especially when you see the conditions in which they live in. Our guide/ interpreter for that day attributes this fact to all the fresh foods they eat. 

See my village native beans... Not the usual bland brown. Lol

And my personal stash of eastern Mangoes... Remember how I was wishing someone would travel eastward and buy it for me? I got my desire *whoop whoop* (ermm I have actually finished it sef)

"...who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's." Psalm 103:5 (NIV)

So I finally joined yesterday...

Don't laugh or say anything smart! 

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:

1. I'll hate it and delete the account

2. I'll become an addict... obsessed over people's lives (or worse self obsessed!!) and forget to come to Blogsville or

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).

I'm hopeful that None of these will occur especially option #2!!!

Let not your heart be troubled,
neither let it be afraid. (Jhn14:27)

Love always,

The New Nigeria!

I'm not all mouth and no action... I have voted :) !!! 

Of late I have had cause to pray the national prayer as in really pray it and not just mumble over as I used to do in school those days...

O God of creation

Direct our noble course

Guide our leaders right

Help our youths the truth to know

With love and honesty to grow

And living just and true

Great lofty heights attain 

To build a nation where peace & justice shall reign

Behold a New Nigeria!!!

One With only the right people who are in God's plan voted into office...

(P.s: T'notes bloggers chat goes live today 😉 and Duru is predicted to be the first to be unmasked! Lol! )

Monsters

Wondering what that is? 😛 well that's one of the projects my art kids made. Paper Monsters! 

So my question today is simple. Have you ever felt like you have one of those inside you making you do ignorable things? At least it's easier to blame them than yourself. I ask because that's how I feel. Oh well I'm gaining control over them. I can't be falling God's hands like this. 

Do you remember the old movie Monsters in-law? I haff begun praying for my Mother in-law. No monsters allowed!

My mom is a funny person, the other day my boo (I.e my grandma) did something can't really remember the details but she reported her daughter and I to my dad who always supports and takes her side.

My mom just turned to me and said if the reverse was the case someone would say "ahh can you imagine what my mother in law did but this is my mom doing this and I'm smiling about it". What I got from that day is simple; by God's grace, I'm gonna treat and cherish mine like my own mother and just overlook stuff. I know it's easier said than done but I have G.O.D in the mix so He'll help me.

 I don't really understand myself, for I want to do what is right, but I don't do it. Instead, I do what I hate. (Romans 7:15 NLT)

(Oh btw I'm enjoying blogging with my new phone 😀😁😊)

Fear of the Unknown

What's it about the unknown that drives we 'human beans' crazy??! 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. What "crazy" thing have you done cause you were scared to dare believe? 

In other news, mangoes are out!! Whoop whoop! I need someone to travel to eastern Nigeria and bring me some fresh and juicy ones! #Excited much

"I believe; help my unbelief!" (Mk 9:24b)

Like that father of the child, I too sometimes struggle with unbelief so I'm crying out for help. I choose to dare believe all He has promised me :)! 

#off to go cook me some lovely pasta (even if I have to say so myself). Might edit this post later with pictures of my meal *winks*

With love,
