Birthday...18th may

A Day to remember at Ile-Ife.

Clocking 26.

I clocked 26 today. Not a different feeling compared to that of yesterday. I just know deep down that a lot more needs to be taken. its a special day though(a whole kunle anjorin was born).
Started the day with a lovely lady(we had been talking for about 3 hours or more before 12am). We talked into the day. She wished me a happy Birthday first and gave me a warm Happy Birthday Hug before we left each other some minutes later. She walked to her room and I to mine. When i reached the corridor to my floor, i didnt want to go into the lonely room(my roomates were away). I just sat on the floor and then i got up, walked back to the car park and then towards the gate with a mind of taking a walk and brooding but something deep inside said Stop, go back. And i did.

I walked back through the car Park to my room but didnt go in. I then thought of praising or thanking God(something I did last year) I did this for a while not minding my friends who passed by. it was diffferent doing this. I wasnt scared of anything at that time. I could as dare anything. It was like that was my moment, any other being was under. with all joy i entered the room, went to Tunde's room, spoke to Tunde, Kike and Tosin for a while. some business propositions that i needed them to hep out with and then to my room. t'was great having the thought of making money no matter how small it was. (everytime i made money on my own by carrying out an idea, there's this joy and it cannot be quantified by a "gazzilion naira" given to me if it was just N300. And by this time the Texts had started rolling in. First came The postgraduate christian fellowship and then, ECOBANk, Mr Lawrence udeagbala(I hope i got the surname right), my dear friend mayowa, Akin Aguda, UNION BANK, Promise Ogbuagu, Bolanle Akinsanola. and then the calls..My Sweet mother, My Great Dad, My Great bro TeeJay all the way from odo-Irele LG in ondo state(He's on is youth service), My friend Tumi,MSc. course Rep. Samuel Ejughemre(not sure i spelt that surname correctly too), samuel sang me a happy Birthday Song! Whao! Cherished the moment. Then beautiful Dami Oyelade called, My charming sister called, then Tope Ayedona (not spoken to her in a long while), Eloho Udoro with over 185 facebook messages. Thank you all. thanks for the prayers too. I also spoke to ify after a while( she cald me on tuesday. I had not kept in touch for a while-didnt even know she went back to Niger to continue her service year after the Madalla bomb blast). Whew!, i could just continue on and on.

Love & More - Act 1

Right from the first day I saw you, I was drawn to you. Not love at first sight, but an attraction that I still cherish today after 13 years.  I still remember the many walks we took when we started talking. My-o-my, I loved talking with you. I still do. Maybe I was listening more, now that I think of it. The one thing I recall was you made it easy to talk and thinking of the walks between White House (Engineering Building) and Computer science Building including other locations within the Obafemi Awolowo University community? Still cherish them. You have come to show me another part of life, completing me in areas I am not as strong. Still a journey for me but I cherish the process even though I sometimes react to the adjustments. I cherish the results though. I love it when you are happy. When you smile (even at my dry jokes). I love it when you excel at the things you do. formal and informal.  I appreciate your thoughtfulness to things. I guess it comes with you being so st...

Love & More - Act 2

 It has been a while we had the movie night. We have some history with movie nights I must say. From the times in Akure, Lagos and now, Amstelveen.  Whenever we watch, it exciting. I enjoyed the action movies and then the love ones. I enjoy all of it anyway cos we watch together. the taking it back so you understand better is not so fun for me sha..me i have moved on in cases like that.....but anyways, i agree with you.......better to understand the context. When did we start watching movies together?   Before we got married I guess. I guess this was in Lagos before I took the job with BEDC. Not sure if we watched any on our own or always with Bukky and Busayo. But anyways..the history was formed. Cinemas. one thing I loved about Igbatoro, Akure was the Filmhouse Cinemas at the Akure Mall.  and then those cozy evening when we did nothing but watch a move together. Do you always stay up when we watch? Now I have to write that you might stay up with the first movie but...

The Many Walks with Kiity

 Ever heard of the benefits of 30 minutes walk everyday?  I bet you have. Walking is a great way to improve or maintain our overall health. Just 30 minutes every make a change in your life. I took a walk for 1 hour once and I felt the effects. It was about 8km in all and I could feel my legs tingling when I finished. The next day, the muscles spoke and I was happy.  Kiity and I enjoy taking lots of walks. We did that a lot in Nigeria both individually and together. I enjoy it more when we do it together. Since we arrived the Netherlands in April this year, we have had several walks and I enjoy it more when we do it together.   Walking over a small bridge, De Poel, Amstelveen I decide to take walks for many reasons;  - To exercise. - To clear my head and away from the familiar - To see the environment and new places. - To breathe a different air. The most important is to talk. This is when I do it with Kiity. We have to talk about something as we go.  W...
