THE KENDER BRAND

  The fit life has come upon me and I can't complain. I'm loving every bit of waking up in morning and sweating it out. It's like my rebound ritual that gets me on track everyday. I push my body to attain every goal I set. Sometimes I get asked if my aim is to loose weight, the answer is NO. I workout because I want to be very fit, healthy and strong. So basically I workout 5-6 times a week. Even on days when I feel so tired in between workouts, I visualize myself with my six packs and chiseled looks. This just pushes me to go further.  That being said, let's get to the crux of the matter. I always down played stretching before and after workout. I saw it as a non calorie burning routine which is rather a waste of time. This notion changed when I developed a very disturbing back ache. The back ache developed to shoulder ache and overall body ache.  After much research, I found out that the stretch I so neglected was the solution to my ache. You may think of

Guys, I didn't forget its Thursday and on days like this we talk about one of the many relationship ''wahala'' that lingers on the lips of many. So today I'll be talking of a topic that particularly appeals to me. When it comes to love/relationship trust me, there are different shades of crazy. There isn't really any standard that works best for any two relationships. That's why relationships are hard work, You have to figure out what works best for you and your partner.  I was recently having a nice time with some new friends. I was so tired after work that the only thing on my mind was food and sleep, but then again I needed to unwind so we hit a nearby lounge and conversed over few drinks.  As usual the relationship issue came up and I excitedly jumped at it. This pretty young girl who sat inches next to me was so beautiful that even after the day's stress, she still looked amazing like she was sent from heaven. It was so annoying watch

The words came clearly "Get In Touch With The Real You" We are caged and forced to get aligned with whatever the society terms the norm You are forbidden to stand out even though we always lead the movement of standing out. I want to get in touch with who I really am. I want to know the ''ME'' that talks in my head and gives me the directives for the day. Most often than not, the real ''ME'' is choked and silenced because the many people around me want different results from me. I'm torn between following the different paths that I get lost even without getting to my destination. I'm lost, being found isn't my greatest goal. I want to discover me. I want to be heard. I want to live, thrive and beat my chest that I'm part of something important.  So I get on this journey of stripping myself off every limitations, fear, regrets, conflicting opinions and influences from the past. I'll get in touch with my True self.

The grasses were beginning to grow in rich green colours with just few patches of dark collections mounted in heaps. Looking closely you would almost forget the horrific incidence that took place on that fateful Thursday evening. As I drove pass that morning, I was inspired by what I saw. This was an area that was burnt beyond recognition weeks ago. A place where lives were burnt in the most agonizing way, a place that a lot of persons lost their most cherished ones, a place of tears with deep untold pain that would likely never be forgotten. But regardless of the horrid event that took place here, the grasses sprouted in their green glory, making us almost forget of the happenings around here. The black patches of burnt tress and shrubs scattered sparsely to remind us that  tragedy had indeed taken place here. I couldn't stop but wonder how this scenario relates to real life and how it connects with our every day experiences. The grasses would blossom in even greater stre

To officially make some unknown reveals about my humble self, here are 10 Random facts about me. My full name is Ugwuokpe Ndidiamaka Christobel and for the record I prefer being addressed by my full ibo name (Ndidiamaka). I don't have a favorite color but white and black pieces appeal to me.  I don't have a favorite food either but I'll prefer local (Ibo) foods to any other food any day any time. I love anything art especially sculpting (I wish I could sculpt). It has a very special way of appealing to me. More like every art work speaks to me. I'm an exercise addict. I actually get an unusual feeling if I haven't worked out in 3 days. I just love when I sweat. (Cool feeling) As much as I love my family and friends. I'll prefer reading a novel to having an actual real conversation. Reasons why you'll probably catch me eating and reading or washing and listening to an audio book. I can't swim to save my life and I

What do you do when your body and mind is stressed? I've been so stressed lately. I literally drag my body out of the bed most times and even after two cups of coffee, I'm still not mentally alert. This past few months has been a hell of a roller coaster. My body has been forced to extremes I never knew it could attain.  I have even had to zone out on several occasions just to have a touch of reality in it's real sense.  I recently found out that my brain doesn't rest. Even while sleeping, I still unconsciously do some mind work. In as much as I try so hard to stop and really allow the brain  to rest, it's still not possible. (Does this happen to anyone?) The irony of life is quite funny at times. People see you all glammed and happy and forget that we sometimes deal with so many challenging life situations. This year has been a really tough year. Tough because I've had to deal with issues I never had to face in my entire life. (Story I'll defi

Being an employee has taught me alot. I've had to deal with deadlines, presentations I have no idea what should be said, switching to an idustry I was 100% clueless. Few weeks into working I stumbled into a book called "The rules of work". As usual I delved in and at the end I could summarily say the book was all about "Kissing your boss's ass". (Which in my opinion is not entirely the reality) In as much as the book sold a stereotyped opinion about employee and employer relationship, I still picked up a lot of valuable content that has helped me through work. A wholistic mindset about work or working for another person stems from being an employee who has taken ownership of the business or an employee who has once worn the shoes of an entrepreneur and is willing to serve. Mine has been a bit of both. Starting an online business while still actively in a 9-5 has given me quite  a balanced mindset. Generally speaking, most employees has im
