Beautiful morning

-

Hello people (this actually reminds me of a line in one of the plays we acted for our fellowship drama), how was your night BTW? Mine was awesome, I still feel sleepy, although it’s 7:12 am. I slept at 11pm, and set my alarm to wake me up at these respective periods : 2:30am( I knew I was jonzing, I just wanted to prove to myself that I was a superhero and I could wake up 3hrs30mins after I slept, I didn’t even hear it ring); 3:30am( I was like, I should try to be awake at this time, at least 4hrs30mins should be enough, but in my heart of hearts I knew I loved sleep too much to do that) then the last one was set for 4am( this one is an everyday thing, I wake up by this time almost every day) little did I know I wouldn’t wake up at the sound of the alarm…wait o I think I did, yeah I did, just enough to check on my phone, and to fight the daily inner battle ‘do I have to wake up ni? abeg I’m too tired, I can sleep for just 30 mins more now’ eventually I decided I’d sleep, LOL… the holy spirit woke me in time(5:21am) for my session with daddy,(scheduled for 7:30am) YEAH!!! finally we had the postponed session) and we talked about the carnal man, FYI, WE NEED TO ALL GROW OUT OF THIS STAGE,ASAP.
    My friends, should I let you in on a little secret, (chai!! you too like amebo) I’ll tell you sha. The thing is that, before it took me forever to create this blog…I was very frustrated ehn, the thing refused to comply o, but I had its time and now, I’m a freaking blogger!!! At least, that’s what Google calls me.
    Yeee!!! This ‘mama cleaner’ is in front of our room…what is this that I hear??? Neither shouts nor screams, lemme tell you a little about her. My roomies and I call her ‘mama deko dere’   (Eyin dekodere is her fav phrase) This woman is the most touchy woman you can ever meet on this planet (BTW, I should even point my siblings to this, cos when I was growing up, they thought I was touchy…why wouldn’t I have been sef? they were really annoying) as I was saying jare, this woman, at any very tiny thing she would complain, shout and curse, na by force to work? if you want to do something do it well, in her case she’s even getting paid… she’s my alarm sometimes sef, thank goodness she’s gone.
    I need to get going o, cos of that space securing thing I do at the library(if you like talk, I’ve already said I’m smart), plus I even want to do some early momo(told you what this means before na- morning) exercises… you know, the girl’s gotta have abs(yes oo)…but mheen!!! It’s very stressful. TBH, I can’t do 20 situps ( I know you’re already claiming there that you can do 500, my own is the standard one #tongueout)… byeee, TTYL, love you very much.

Feeling: Lazy. Wanna be in bed all day Time : 6:44a.m Lol this post was scheduled for a day in May, but NYSC decided to scatter it. So, I'm just writing it. If you're Nigerian say "yo!" More specifically, if you're Yoruba say "ayyeee." This post is going to be about our culture and one very important aspect of it - Greetings and Respect . I hear that the Yoruba culture is probably the most respectful culture not only in Nigeria, but in the whole world. I wouldn't disagree with that if it's true. The proper way for a girl to greet elders is for her to go down on her knees and for the guys, they prostrate. Imagine during the trad wedding, going to greet the girl's parents and not fully prostrating!!!!  Just know you have forfeited the girl. Growing up, my parents weren't crazy crazy fans of going down fully on your knees to greet them in the morning, though I remember one time, when I was probably 12 or 13, my daddy said we s

Conscious Living- Life isn't ROCK, PAPER ,SCISSORS. SHOOT!

Hello fam, good day and welcome to Fifi's diary. How'd your week go? Mine was great actually.I had time for myself. Why do I feel so sleepy? It's just 12:37pm and I even had a second round of sleep. Anyways, straight to the point. You see, this morning, I made a decision to start  living consciously. As a growing woman or lady, or whatever, I believe that every decision I make should be made consciously.I do not want to find myself in a particular place and wonder how I got there, I do not want to be in a relationship (general) and wonder how I got there.. This was what brought about the thought this morning, it might seem unrelated but... I was preparing breakfast, no one was in the house, the help was in her room. I wasn't raised with a help around the house, and I don't plan on raising my kids with any help doing stuff for me. As I was cooking, it just crossed my mind that " Lois, in a few years you'll be a mother and wife by God's grace is that h

Feeling: cuddly  Time: 7:57am The last time I made this, my brother called it Fifi's casserole (well, that's cos I made it in the oven). Now that I made it in a pan, I wonder what he'd call it.   I feel like this meal had already existed before I thought about it; like I wasn't the first to think it up, well, that's okay I guess. The first time I made this was during my service year, I was super tired of eating the same old meals and I felt like whipping up something new. That's one thing about me; I think about things I've never eaten before, make them a reality; sometimes, good, sometimes, not so good. (I made some kind of toast in a pan the other day, I had it with ketchup. Yeah, bread and ketchup. My brothers were sneering at it, I told them they had to taste it, they did, and made a whole batch for themselves.) So let me show you how I made this quick, super easy and delicious food. It probably takes 40 minutes or less than. Peeling the pota
