Did I really think through it?

Hi People.


This is my diary. And I like to tell the truth in it. No matter what it could make me look like in the face of people. This really happened to me. And its a flop tale of one of my escapades. I walk in the spirit. At times. I also do walk in the flesh. I have stories about this.

Here I was yesterday in my room after having typed on my MSI mini laptop, a poem spoken out by a lady on a video from www.theresurgence.com made for singles just in case people didnt get to have fast links that they could use to view it.

After sending this to an online group on facebook for singles, I dialled my friend's line. I didnt mention that I had started having feelings for her some months ago. I had sent a copy of the poem to her and the link on her mail. I didnt get through the first time i called. I then called again about twenty of thirty minutes later. Did the usual greetings and then asked if she was busy. probably reading i thought. Then asked for her whereabouts probably she was in the school campus or home....she didnt want to say this. "I go on dates, you know, don't want to tell you were i am" she said (Don't think I got the exact words but its something like it). i then proceeded to tell her i had sent her a mail and about the content. The call then ended.

i got disturbed that she was with someone (She wasn't after all, i misinterpreted). Though at other times, i wouldn't have been.  whenever anything disturbs me, I find peace and make a decision. This time i didn't. I worked with my emotions and in less than 2 hours, 30 minutes, i had taken some steps that I look back and wonder "what was I thinking?". I talked with a friend (spiritual) before this, and he added more fuel to it telling me I was taking too long to ask (Deepen the friendship man!).

I didn't mention I had listened to audios on relationships, read books on life and other things in the past and I tell you if there was anyone that should have known how to remain calm, "it was me." I had kept the issue on relationships in prayer for some weeks and even maybe a year or two. I didnt make up my mind as the issue wasn't one you just make light heartedly. I had wanted to travel to tell her about two weeks ago (we are 3 or 4 hours apart if you drove a good car). I didnt want to say it on phone (though it better saying it physically, there are no hard rules about not saying it on phone). 'I like you', I told her. after asking her if she had left the place (the place I thought she was with someone). (Now I want to cover my face) . Then she asked, why are you telling me this now? I then blabbed and blabbed on an on, telling stuff I wasn't prepared for. Guys, be prepared whenever you want to tell a girl this.

And you know, be prepared for anything you want to do in life. Did I mention i was having some strange breaths while talking at a time too (Kunle o!)

In all, she asked  some questions, things I had known earlier and planned to do. maybe not the planning part but i knew. Cos i had read about them. She even gave me the book.

You know, even with my prayers and my usual "I'll praise you in the good and the bad" song. I still did this. I hadn't heard anything from God about anyone. Did I even know how to hear from God?. I hadn't developed this (I actually do have my way of hearing from God). I usually prayed about any issue to God, and then walked without waiting to listen..If I had peace, that was enough....Did I apply this?

Never make a decision when you are all taken up by emotions. even if its the right thing to do, You wont be thinking clearly at that time.

I intend calling her back today, I'll tell it all, make some decisions and as usual I'll write back.



Till the next post.

Hmm.....didnt write back till today. I look back and its actually one of the best decisions I have made so far. What actually makes a decision good. Its not the initial decision alone. It has a lot to do with the process. The process makes it tick.

The Hyrox

We call it the bootcamp. For today, the activity is called the Hyrox.  As I type, I am yet to check the dictionary for the meaning of the word 'hyrox' to verify if it even exists. I think it should anyway. FYI- I will check after I finish scribbling.  In the picture above are my colleagues at Leaseweb. We had just gone through 35 minutes of some gruesome exercise. They appeared to be simple and light but as you had to do it repetitively, they become tasking and the pain keeps on coming. We do this once a week to encourage people to keep fit or rather create an avenue to exercise despite the bussle of the week. Focus today as on 6 activities and we had to do it in multiple rounds. You can fid the list below: 1. 1km run on the treadmill 2. Burpees  3. Row/Ski 4. Lunges 5. Sit ups  6. Farmer's Carry 7. 1km run on the treadmill. It is good the Coach was unable to spell my name correctly so I am unable to claim a position. But to make it easy for you, I did the least numb...

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...

Dam tot Dam 2.0 in 2025

  Ran the 2025 Dam tot Dam loop again in 2025. The Night Run. I did this in 2024 and documented here . This time around, I went in for the fun and thrill. You can imagine that I did not practice as I did the last time. "I had done it a year ago, I must be able to do it again" was my mindset. Never mind that I had added about 3-5kg in weight. I was unbothered and so sure it would be done. Last, Last as we say in pidgin English, " I go waka am " which simply means that I would walk all the way. But I did not have to. In fact, I made it in an earlier time compared to the previous year. I made two phone calls during the run to show how i was just in the mood to enjoy it.  Now that I think of making a better time than the previous year. I consider that I must have been slow in 2024. what improved? I do not know.  I was having a conversation with some colleagues some days ago and they were asking for my running plans for the year 2026. I simply said another 8km. But they...
