SUCCESS TIPS FOR A NEW YEAR/2016...

Image
I am so excited that the year is coming to an end and even though I may not have achieved so much, am grateful for the ones I have achieved and so happy about life itself. Next year is another opportunity to continue the grind and strive for better accomplishments. That's what we all pray for right? I earlier published an article on detoxing for a new year and am hoping that helped a lot of people, cause being free and lighter is the best way to step into the new year. So on this publish, I decided to share some success tips I drafted while working on my Kender's self discovery questions. (Permit me to digress a bit).  The issues of self discovery, finding our purpose and niche in life has been one of my topmost concerns. Seeing and talking to different persons who do not have a clue on how they could fit into the system bothers me a lot. The wonderful thing is that most of them are super talented and with just a little guide they would discover who they are and fi

NANA'S DIARY

                                                  PART FOUR. Dusted and retrieved cause my life has taken a new turn. I have a new job, its not exactly what I wanted but at least its a good way to start off.  My first day at work was exceptional and I'll tell you why. I was told by my interviewers that punctuality was one of the core values of the company. So I made sure to arrive work some 30 minutes earlier. Unfortunately for me, punctuality was one of my weak points, but I struggled to wake up early enough. My bathing usually takes time as I would dance in front of the mirror and access my body generally. Checking for any part of my body I may have added some extra unwanted weight. Not that I would exercise to shed the extra pound (I am too lazy to exercise and you'll know that), but at least, I would keep a tab on my diet and start counting calories. Skipping my unavoidable routine made me feel like something was missing, but the rewarding part of it was that

DETOX FOR A NEW YEAR......

Image
, When detox comes in mind,  the  next word that follows is toxin. Its the last month of the year and we all eagerly await the next year. I sincerely think its the best time for goal setting and planing for the new year. We don't have to wait for the 1st of January to start planning and setting goals. That being said, some may have laid out the plans for next year, some may have written down goals for next year, some have it all in their mind and are patiently waiting for my dear friend 2016 to execute all the plans. Many have mapped out a detailed new year resolution all in a bid to make the next year a better and more fulfilled one. All these measures are good, but there still remains one more thing to be done before we embrace the new year. This one thing may encompass many things but I thought it necessary to share with my readers my thought, cause we all want the best for each other. Its all good for us to look forward to a new year with so much expectations and r

BAD HABITS AND IT'S DETRIMENT

Image
I was relaxing on the couch and didn't feel like going out. I had already changed into my night dress even though its was just 3:15pm in the evening. I was patiently waiting for my favorite TV show to air while scrolling through the music channels over a bowl of freshly made pop corn. I heard a knock on the door and it was my mum. We briefly talked about her day as we struggled over my pop corn. Then my phone rang. ''Hello........I was still trying to figure out who was on the other end of the line when his voice blared into my ear. ''It's me Patrick, how are you'' ''I'm golden ''(I had learnt that from my friend and I probably use it more often than she does) ''I just got into town and I wanted to hang out with you, are you free''? ''Am home already and I don't think I would want to go out again'', I said squeezing my face as though he could see my disapproval. ''I'll b

IRONIES OF LIFE.

Image
Legs crossed and arms folded, thinking of the unsettled realities of life. Not being able to understand the harsh but yet common ironies in life. We all hope for the best and some work so hard to achieve that, but never get to that point. Some just wish for it and put in little or no effort and yet the sky becomes their starting point. Wealth and happiness is what we all hope for but it eludes those who merit it the most, and yet is given in abundance to those who are not worthy of it. Not that I have labelled some unworthy to partake of it (wealth and happiness), but some from what they have done or the position they find themselves in, are just unworthy of it. I have asked my self countless times why kind people die so untimely. I concluded that they were too good for this earth. Acquiring all the different designs from different countries are what most of us really term a perfect life and that has made many to slide into vanity. Healthy discussions or relationships void o

                                       EPISODE        4 ....................................He couldn't sleep. She was one woman he had loved sincerely and was willing to go any length just to prove it. He wanted more from her, everything, heart and soul, commitment, marriage and children. She could sense that in him, but she was not ready to give. She had nothing left for him. All she could do was take, or maybe extend herself for a little while. All her love had been given too long ago and all her energies were reserved for her work and the bitterness that would trigger her vengeance. ''You should go see a therapist''. He sat up staring into her eyes as though he wanted to rip every information off her and she had no intention of obliging him.  ''I can't'' She said, turning to the other side of the room and backing him.  ''You're not helping yourself ''. He was obviously getting upset and the tone in his voice

PERSONALITY CONTOUR ....

Image
Who are you ? When you look in the mirror, what do you see ?  Does the image you see really tell who you are ?  Do you really know who you are ? When you critically analyze all these questions, you may notice that  many influences have been imposed on you either by environment, your friends or family which may not really be who you are. During our early years, most of us had no control over our choices, habits or ways generally and this formed us to who we are even to the adult stage of our lives. We find ourselves handicapped at doing certain things because from childhood, we've been programmed to accept those things as things we can't do. Some of these influences shaped our personality long before we had a chance of doing anything about our own behavior. Genetics plays a big part in forming our behavior.  The whole blueprint found in the chromosomes transmits hereditary characteristics for each person's development (I don't know much of this, but

THE BATTLE .................................

I walked into the classroom and no one seemed to notice me. I gently sat down still looking at the different faces and how engrossed they were at the conversation. It was few hours to the exam and I needed to revise for the last time even though my mind kept telling me I had not read enough (cause I slept all through the night). So revising was not the word. The conversation was getting hot as other people joined in the discussion as soon they entered the class. Basically, they were talking about weight loss and the struggle to keep up even after you had lost weight. The girl who headed the discussion had an overly serious look on her face as she tried to convince every other person about the new weight loss pills. ''Once we graduate, I'll save up enough money and buy mine'', she said adjusting her dress. The girl who sat next to her seemed to agree but still had her doubts about this new pill. ''It's too pricey, am not even sure it wou

FIVE THINGS ELIGIBLE BACHELORS SHOULD NEVER HAVE ! ! !

Image
I recently read a parody on the seven things single women shouldn't have and I loved  it so much  and I decided to write on the male version. Remember its a parody so lets enjoy . We all know that there are so many eligible bachelors who are not yet married and has not engaged any girl. The most annoying part is that most of them are so career obsessed that marriage talk is the last on their scale of preference. While some claim not to have time for marriage and its Wahala , the others are happy in the company of their fellow unmarried friends or married friends. So here are the five things any eligible bachelor should never have. A HAPPY RELATIONSHIP OK, its not enough that you are ready to settle down but you don't want to, then you are ''blessed'' with a happy relationship. The truth is that you are so comfortable in your relationship that you don't want to take it to the next level which is marriage. It's so much comfort that is making you

MY WEDDING DRAMA................K1.

Image
Hello friends! I bet you'll are having a wonderful week. The week is almost ending and seriously this month is running very fast. I guess its running to December cause I smell Xmas already. The whole festivity during that period gives me so much joy. Waking up everyday to either a party, a white wedding or a traditional engagement. Gorgeously dressed to weddings even if you were not invited (hehehehe). So long as you know somebody that knows somebody......you are a guest. Kapish! Watching the bride gloriously walk down some endless aile in the company of her Father, looking so glorious as though sent from heaven, the whole congregation watching in admiration and some hoping to be in her shoes. The groom's men looking around for a "better chick" like they were not in relationships already, the girls all glamed up and walking up and down like the bride asked them to share the day with her. Wedding dramas can be so hilarious and the ones I have attended are no ex

CREATIVE LICENSE ! !

     I woke up on a Saturday morning and the only thing on my mind was the saloon.  I just wanted to get some lovely chat and of course some Amebo gist. "We all like tori and saloon gist can sweet eeh"  I got to the saloon and while waiting for my turn I started conversing with the girl next to me.  She was so inquisitive and just within ten minutes of talking with her she already knew so much much about me.  When I told her I had finished serving, her face brightened up the more. "Are you looking for government employment or you want to employ others", she asked seriously adjusting to face me. I shrugged a bit, quite uncomfortable at her question. "I'm looking for a good paying job, I said but in the mean time I'm just doing my thing. "What is your thing"? "Well I write.,.....blog and do some freelance fitness consulting". She was so excited and her eyes shone like a bright rechargeable lamp. "I re

                                                                              EPISODE     3 They had lunch and after a wonderful time she felt terrible. ''Eric, I never do things like this'' She threw her long black hair over her shoulder and rolled up her sleeves. ''You are such a horrible influence and I wouldn't want you around me. He smiled and gave her a pat on her shoulder. He invited her for dinner on Saturday but she declined and turned down his next four invitations to lunch or dinner. He obviously looked so unhappy and decided to try again. She finally agreed and went for dinner on Friday night with him. ''Why do you keep a distance between us''? He asked so sincerely unhappy about it. He was so in love with her and he desperately wanted to get close to her.  ''I'm not sure it's such a good idea. ''It could make things complicated for me at work, Eric''  She smiled at him as
