Mr. Memory!

It was about building memories.

I wonder at my actions sometimes. I could really be lazy. Waiting until the last minute to do things. Talk about birthdays, anniversaries, dinners and all the like. I have been so bad at making them happen. I would wait until the day to do something. 

Hmm..that has got to change I keep saying. What about assignments at work....you could guess that. Recently I wrote a job test, I stalled on the practice tests doing 1 per 4 days until the day before the last when I realised I could do 4 different tests in about 3 hours. In my mind, I know I am brilliant. But do I ever express this as I ought to? hmmm....

Today, Kiitan was on Instagram and told me how we were not having social events or going places together. Hmm, we don't? we go to church, I said (that was meant to be a joke). She didn't take it easy. We always took pictures with her HTC Desire phone whenever we went out till someone picked it from her bag at church while prayer was on. I told her we will build some memories, that we definitely were going to work on this. Though she later talked about her comparing us with other people, and that was wrong, I knew I had to have pieces of evidence to keep of events in our lives.  

We were to go for a weekend home fellowship close to the house but we found no one there. We checked another centre a bit far from the house. Same news. The home cell provider travelled. We decided to go home. But not after climbing the mountain by the house. This was Kiitan's third time, my first. 

I decided to take pictures. This must go down memory lane.

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 Vacation Idea

  Kiity and I differ on this. What is a vacation? What is a retreat? Kiity made me think of retreat. To me, every time away from work is a vacation. This is my simple definition.  I recall when I was studying. The same definition applied. Anytime away from school is a vacation. When the school is not in session, we are on vacation. The same has applied to my work life.  But Kiity sees it differently. She had to google this and the AI overview gave the feedback below: A vacation is primarily for relaxation and fun, while a retreat focuses on personal growth, self-reflection, and often includes structured activities aimed at improving well-being Kiity is right by this definition. I have told her.  In my own world, it seems definitions are simple and when adhered to, makes my life simple. Where did all this come from? It came from a post Kiity made on Polarsteps about "our first Family Vacation". I looked at it and said we had done a lot of vacations in the past based o...

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...
