I will call it......

So I do not Forget.

It's funny how I cannot remember where I saw that phrase...So We do not Forget....maybe a movie, a book or an article. I definitely know it did not come from me. 
So what don't I want to forget?  

I wrote about me being broke and all. I had no kobo on me to go to the office. Kiitan suggested we use the car. The fuel gauge was on reserve. I didn't mind using it on Sunday to church when the gauge was almost on E, at least I could see it wasn't at the empty bar. But this time, I didn't want to consider it. 

She even went further with 'let's take the gas along' (we went out of cooking gas the night before) and then, the typical me was like No..o. But then again, I considered. Considering my stance, she decided against it even after telling me to have faith. I had thought of taking the container we use for petrol for the generator just in case the car stopped on the way and I had to source for fuel on borrowed money. I decided against it. I parked the car outside the compound and waited for Kiitan to be ready, then it clicked. 

I decided to go back inside. Took the gas cylinder, also took the can for petrol, not for emergency fuel but for the generator in the evening. We drove down to the office on the empty bar. God had always made a way in the past, this time was not going to be different. And he did. 

It happened that I had to submit a statement of expenses. It was then I realised I accounted wrongly for a particular sum at the office. I had added 7,000 Naira or more of my money to that of the office. A typographical error on an Excel Sheet, which meant I had given the office my money. I suddenly realised I had 7,000 Naira. Enough for all the stuff I took out. Hmm...

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...
