English, blogging and talents

blogging

i not jst recently discovered that my english is terrible and i have a hard time learning new languages.. 

:(

this did not just happen suddenly o... it happened over a period of time in which i was constantly speaking pidgin english like a militant and making gest of yourba people with their 'H' factor... (p.s im also yourba)

it recently dawned on me that ive become like the people i used to laugh at on a regs.. (chei see my life..)

so una.. the moral lesson of my tory here be say: "make una no dey laugh person wey no fit speak "

sorry: dont laught at people that dont seem to get their tenses right, and cant help it if their "EMEKA" sounds like  "HAY-MEKA" 

 (or at least if you are even gonna laugh small dont poke fun and try to describe what you heard to your friends cos i bet u.. you'll get the (wizkid) sorry the factor too..  ::)))

ok back to moi..... *moment of silence pls*

i used to be an award winning descriptive essayist (well clap awards in my ss3 english Cambridge/WAEC classes count right?)

 but now.... i cant say the same of myself.. ,

i also used to write a lot of stories and poems and essays and things like that and i was quite good.. but 1 way or the other i threw my talent away and now i regret it.

now with a fierce determination and a patient attitude (and a search party) im gonna rediscover my talent and use it to do great things (like taking over the world).

i hereby use this medium to reignite my passion and search for my talent (whatever that means)

im gonna write till i get fingers cramp, and in the process over come my factors and my gbagauns and my horrible tenses until i take over the world...

Disclaimer: pls forgive my bad english ehn... i promise to get better.

COURAGE

so today i finally grew the balls to start or rather restart my blog. :)
cheers to the born again blog.. lets drink to that :)

ok before we start drinking and get all drunk, whats courage?
they say its the ability to over confront fear, danger, or intimidation.
all these big words... do we all know the meanings?
personally i dont care..
i define my own courage as picking up that biology textbook even though your skull is unusally thick to biology.
it is picking up that biro and writing what you want to write even though your handwriting can be compared to the footprints of the chicken that just crossed the road.
its saying what you want to say even though u sound stupid to your self.
or taking that cold bath that harmatan morning everybodys doing "rub n shine"

everybody attributes courage to david in the bibble, when he confronted goliath "fearlessly".
hian, who wants to start killing human giants now? have u heard of "the swollen black eye"??

nywayz all im trying and hustling to say here is courage is doing something, anything that'll make a difference even when u scared shit less, even when the world says no,
even if u have to run after, therez nothing like that adrenalin and sense of fufilment that ull get after.

my own act of courage is posting in this blog...
im so mother-hawkish about my articles nd things that i write but now all im saying is:

peace and love.

P.S: i didnt tell u 2 go nd slap chuck norris o. 

short long day

i woke up on the right side of the bed with my laptop snoozing off beside me and i sed to myself...  ♪what a wonderful worldddddddd♪♪


then i remembered, yesterday my friend and substitue husband got expelled from this "school" of ours for a crime he knew nofin about and my 'p' button is still faulty. :(
maybe its not such a wonderful world.. *sniff sniff*


*still crying* why God why him??? he didnt do anything...


ok i usually wake up by 5;30 am but in my dream, my (real) boyfriend gave me 40grand instead of the 12grand i asked him for in reallife. who'll wake up 4rm such a dream? (hez not gonna gimme 1kobo in real life so dont start setting p). therefore almighty tolu woke up by 6am, slyed her roommate/bestfriend and went to have her bath.
trust me my dear roomie/bestie did not find that funny...

well fuzzy logic is a 10 oclock class so i took my laptop and i swear i wanted to read but ...... i ended up browsing until 9:30 sha sha... *covers face in shame*
its not my fault na... the internet seduced me.


God will punish who ever invented fuzzy logic... Mrs O as far as im concerned was just speaking arabaic.. after locking me outta the class for 30mins cos i waz just 10mins late mscheeeew. only to come and teach rubbish.


then why is musa such a lazy man?  
MR MUSA who thought it funny to put on a bow tie to class was to lazy to fully explain an example to us in class and stormed out forming vex when we didnt even do anything. oniranu oshi..


he sed we were complaining, but wount u self complain if u were tricked into doing a course where it take your lecturer 1 hour to solve 1 part of an equation which is divided into 4 parts.


so much studying to do... i swear final year is not easy and i have to up my grades if i dont wanna be homeless after grad. (my parents are still expecting first class. lool )


i knt suffer like this only 4 sm1 to come and expell me o... lailai.. it cant happen.

GAIN WEIGHT DIET

ok i met a doctor when i waznt really feeling fine and i actually asked him about this weight gain issue cos im also naturally skinny.
he actually put me on a diet like they do to those pple that wanna lose weight,
lemmy share part of what he told me

1) EXERCISE: but not all type of exercises are mad for skinny people, i was told to do push-ups and muscle gaining exercises BUT NOT EVERY DAY. as a girl like me, i was assured that i wount gain muscle like professional muscle builders (10k God ) cos of my gender and as long as i dont do it every day bt when u exercise, u tend 2 eat more cos of your body is being forced to change,
P.S (FOR GIRLS): there re exercises that could actually make you curvier

2) AVOID JUNK FOOD (MADE OF SUGAR): COS minerals and all the sugar in the food will just give you a lot of energy and stop you from actually eating and NATURALLY SKINNY PEOPLE will probably burn all the sugar cos they are almost always hyper active, and they are also unhealthy,

3) A LOT OF FRUITS: like a literally a lot of fruits, everybody knows the advantages of fruits. and BANANAS make some people gain weight.

4) EAT NORMALLY: don't over feed your self cos u'll just end up getting indigestion but make sure you are filled up when you eat and eat a little more than you usually do. eat 3 times a day or as you normally do but remember to add milk, yogurt and all those potentially fattening food to your diet (PLS NOT TO MUCH)

5) DONT OBSESS: if u keep on looking at a scale u might get disappointed so just be normal.

6) SNACK A LOT: on healthy snacks sha like nuts and crackers (im not too sure about this). this is for those that work sha and cant eat everytime,

Anyways i hope some of you trying to gain weight would benefit from these but remember you have to do this the healthy way so that you wont have problems when you gain the weight and u cant loose it or so u wont have health problems when you 40,

P.S: i waz also placed on some multivitamins, (that's all i have now) and its working for me, i hope it works 4 ya'll.
