what a day!

today is the 5th day of august, i'm here at ile-ife, in my room. guess what just happened, my laptop fell about a height of 40 to 50cm. I was just so excited that i was going to type this and then i pulled out the laptop pouch from the bag and then, it slipped out. I was quiet....couldnt say anything but aaaaahh silently. it has just happened , my thought running all around and then, i decided to pick it up, saw the battery trying to pull free off the PC but was stuck somehow. I prayed a little prayer, Lord, take charge and then, i put it on, Hmm, the surprise was that nothing happenned to the screen though it fell on the ground on the screen part. I had to drop it lie flat on the floor and say "Thank you". This is just the first part of my story cos it just happened some mins ago(this is 14mins to 6pm). had a great day, asked God for the forgiveness of my sins, had a word from the OPEN HEAVENS and then started up the day, did the normal stuff- wash plates(sorry, it might not be normal sha) we had used the previous night(s). never mind, the S is there because i refused to wash the plates and just kept them till another morning. i then went to read at the reading room, PG Hall(was able to read some stuffs on my project0 and then, went to help folake with the socket thing(still need to find screws or else i'll have to keep doing the thing and i might just endanger her to electrical shocks. It was like a slow day as i went to have my bath at past 12 after ironing a shirt i did not use courtesy the rain that did not allow my inner wears dry up. Went out to the departmental building after this and you know, i was indeed late, the only man(my supervisor) that made me come out was leaving. i decided to carry his bag with hime to his car and then we talked a bit and then he told me to start working on my Literature review that it will help me get started as i'll only need editings to do later on. Yes Sir!

hmm. i walked back not feeling bad but having the next idea of what to do as i had only been working on Chapter 1. Let go! saw mimi at the PG hall, gave her Teejay's convocation book and then, guess who i saw? a former classmate of mine from Badore. Rasheed Gbadamosi. he came to see a lecturer who then sent him to deliver a sweater to a student in PG hall. Hmm. hugged him and then we talked a while. i showed him the room and off i went to give yemisi her cello-tape. omo, no be only cello-tape i go give at last o. as i sit-down for there dey gist on and on. yes, we talked and talked for over 1 hour and i then took my leave. hmm, the girl with the scales on the middle sides of her eyes. Miss hezekiah oluwasanmi(Library lady, she loves to read), funny enough, i no dey go that library.

hmm, like i need to drop this typing. hope you got some of my day.

An Open Letter to Kunfaiyeoluwa

  I would love to draft a long letter to you. But the thoughts and words captured above say a lot that I want you to carry on for the rest of your life.  You indeed have a legacy to cherish and to build on. Your mum, grand-mums and great-grand-mums are one of the strongest and determined persons I have met and I know the seed lives on in you. Yes, I did come to know them all and I see the foundation you have to lean on. You are Royalty both Spiritually and by Land Origin. 1 Pet 2:9 reminds me of your spiritual royalty and the knowledge that you are of the origin of men who have reigned as Kings in Nigeria both in Kogi and Ondo States. Therefore, let the words scribed above by the Queen of the Southern Nigerian Kingdom bring light to you today and for every other day. I was watching a movie during the past weekend and it showcased a Father who stood by his daughter even when the whole community were against her. I would like you to know that I would be by your side from Day 1 t...

The Journey to 85 (Part 2)

Dont get it twisted. This is still 85kg. Not an age thingy. I woke up this morning to check my weight and it was 95kg on the dot.  This time I was happy. I was happy because i had hit 98.7kg some 4 weeks ago. I also decided to wear a particular shirt and it fit. Now that was something.  Have I been exercising? Or eating eight? The latter. No. The first, maybe. I stumbled on this by error. A friend triggered me to cycle to work and I did. Never mind that I had been saying I would do it as I see several people riding their bicycles all the way to Amsterdam. Anyways, I made the trip and I have been giddy about it since.  I have romanced the use of bus for over a year now that using the bike feels too sweet to use. I get to see other riders along the way and enjoy the view of Amstelveen and Amsterdam.  I should say it is also faster than using the bus sometimes especially if the first bus would be the 357. That takes 40mins for me in all. But with the bike. M...

Dam tot Dam loop Business Run - 5miles or 8km - Done!

  Yes, I did. And it was fun. I ran the Dam tot Dam loop Business Run 5Miles. And it was amazing to do this for the first time ever in 2024.  I got to know about the run about 2 months ago during a chat with Jana Reiss and I was interested. I had seen a friend and former line manager at MainOne, Ayomide, run marathons and amass medals from the run. I have also seen another former line manager, Vremudia run a lot including the marathons.  Living in the Netherlands made it easy to join the band wagon. You have roads with a bicycle path and the walk way aside the road for cars. Thus, I loved to joined the band wagon and have now taken part in the first long distance run.  I did the run the 8K in 1:08:10 Hrs. the best runner of the day did it in 25 mins. A pretty long way to get to for me. But I recall in my practice, the first time I did the 8K was 1:15:00 Hrs and the second time 1:09:00 Hrs. So a little improvement but definitely within my plan. I wasn't aiming to be t...
