HI THERE

-

Hi there, it’s 6:08, on this surprisingly warm inside, but cold outside morning. I’m really sorry if you do not understand that, you should try to read it two more times, and if you still don’t, you should get help-yeah, help from the holy spirit, trust me, I’m not that mean. I’ve been checking my phone countless times, just to see if I have a whatsapp  message, I know that you already think the message I’m expecting is from a boy…(us young adults and our default state of mind sha) FYI, it’s actually from a male, but the male here is my dad. Yeah, you read that right, do not be confused my dear friend, my dad is my padi, plus we were supposed to have a meeting at 5:30,but because I slept late and woke up early to read something about tenses, we were not able to chat, and I feel really bad, cos it’s the second time in a row.(My friend, Toye told me to read it INTENSIVELY, or is it EXTENSIVELY? So much is expected from English students that you dare not make a mistake grammatically, plus I also have high standards…so, excuse me while I check the dictionary for the right word to use…DONE!! I think the better word to use is INTENSIVELY, because according to my dictionary, one of the synonyms mentioned, is ‘deep’. So, as I was saying before the rude interruption of my lack of adequate grammatic performance, I was told to read INTENSIVELY, but I think I’m just up until the second  ‘V’ in that word, meaning that I’ve only done the intensive part, the ‘LY’ will be done soon.)
      Oh yeah, I mentioned a writing ago, that I had an exam, yeah the special elective one, yeah SEP ( the drug one), since we’re both on the same page concerning the exam I was talking about, I may as well continue. That course is just a course I don’t think I can understand…oh please, it’s not like I’m a dummy, before you start talking, it’s just that there are so many weird things there, like words I can’t type out, for instance I learnt that the scientific name for dongoyaro is ‘achaizia something’ lemme just check and save myself from further embarrassment . OMG!!! You do not want to know the real thing #coversface it’s called AZADIACHTA INDICA. Abeg!! No one is perfect, we all make mistakes…Does anyone know what ‘dongoyaro’means here? Because I don’t ,not in this context…I only know it means a tall person,LOL
     It’s already 6:38!!!! Yeah ‘am’ not ‘pm’…why does time have to fly every time I write? Oh! Oh! I know why, because I am a very slow typist, plus, you know, there are little distractions.

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

Some Kinna delicious sweet potato meal. RECIPE!

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
