#NYSCdiaries. Boys.

Feeling: Relaxed Time: 5:53 a.m Welcome back to this series, #NYSCdiaries, I figured that if I go on the way I started, writing as each day went, I'll have a book. So, I have decided to break the experience into different parts, however, I left you hanging the last time. ... The sound of the beagle. One sound I eally don't want to hear again in this life and the next to come. This was our routine: 4:30 a.m, the beagle sounded for us to get ready for the day. 5:00 the beagle would be blown for our morning meditation, this lasted for 1hr30mins on the camp ground, after which we would have a lecture. 7:30 a.m, we'd leave the "parade ground" retire to our rooms. 8 a.m to 9 a.m was for breakfast . I always had time to sleep before the horrible beagle sounded again 9 a.m to 1:30 p.m was for lectures I never paid attention to. 1;30 p.m to 3:30 was usually lunch, Ore and I didn't really eat a lot of whatever they served us, we ate dinner a lot cause

Natural hair care. My secrets.

Feeling: Coffeeish Time : 1:26 p.m Hulloo, welcome back to Fifi's diary. Today, I'm gonna talk about natural hair care (the basic things I know) in honour of my beautiful curls which are like a year and some weeks old. Just so you know , I took this myself .  On a norms, I'm not overly concerned about length (both hair length and time I started this whole natural thingy) and all, in fact, it was during the camp period that I actually took full note of this. My hair was more popular than me. Everywhere I went people would be like "is that your hair or a wig?" Boys crushed on my hair, girls wished they had my hair (I dunno why). If we (my friends and I) actually decided to start a business based on how many people asked to touch my hair, I'd be a billionaire.  Another question people ask me is "what did you do to your hair, tell me, what are the things you used?"  and then, I always reply saying "nothing, really. I just use

Why I went AWOL #NYSCdiaries

Feeling: Fresh Time: 5:09pm Wow! I really missed writing on this blog. I don't think you know how much. The thing is I travelled and there was no way I could take my laptop with me, and I really do not like typing long stuff on my phone. Chill a bit.I know you're wondering where I travelled to, I'll definitely tell you, BUT FIRST,let me tell you, it wasn't a fancy trip at all, it was strenuous and torturous. This was taken on my way to Yikpata, see me looking fresh. In Nigeria, after obtaining your bachelors degree, it is compulsory for you to serve the nation for a year through a scheme called NYSC (National Youth Service Corps), once you've done this, you can work fully. Truth is, I've always wanted to be a corp member, to wear the Khaki and the hat, and I'm finally doing that. However, no one told me that, I had to go through three weeks of hell to wear that. The uniform I always wanted to wear. So, I'll be writing a series here #NY
