New year resolution

So my life had been out on standstill for the past two months due to the fact that I went to spend time with my parents.  All my inactivity is about to change for some serious school and work. I have lagged behind in so many things that before I am asked what my progress is I will turn on the water works (tears).

Now it's a new year with new dreams and of cause the never fulfilled resolutions.  So I have decided this year I have made my resolution not to make a resolution and so far it's working really well for me.  After all the events that transpired in 2012, all the failed plans, disappointments (in myself and others), surprises (both good and bad), in 2013 I have decided to take everyday as it come, with no expectations and so far I must say it is quite liberating.

I listened to a sermon yesterday that encouraged not to think and plan his/her life based on the opinions on others if not he/she will never succeed because people's opinions are constantly changing. And I realised that some plans and expectations I had were based on people's opinion and that is why those things never came to realisation.


So 2013 it's time to let go and let's flow ..........

Beginning of Adulting

It has been a while since I wrote. I was basically lazy to write anything. I have no real reason why I haven't shared my thoughts. A lot has happened since the last time, I have finally finished school, I got a job and basically I am becoming an adult. That is something I really do not feel I want to be; an adult. It is not the best life I must say. There are bills to pay, there are co-workers to deal with, there are groceries to buy and worst of all I have to go to bed early so I can wake up early to go to work. Why am I torturing myself in this way? I love my job. It is a weird thing to say in a world where people are constantly complaining about their work and life. I enjoy what I do and how I touch lives. As a child I was facinated by electricity. I wanted to know where it came from, how it was made and why we depended so much on it. My facination has not died, in fact every time I pass a high tension transmission line I become happy. Something so magnificient can kill in...

I'm back

Image
I have not written for a long time. My excuse is that I have been busy. The truth is, I do not know what to write. Several things have happened in the past months I have not written. I went home i.e. Nigeria and came back, I have finished my programming and hoping to complete my thesis soon, and I have also made new friends. I must say I have a better rapport with my supervisor now. I do not know if he is glad I am finally leaving or if he is really making an effort to have a better understanding of me. I stand out in my study group because I have refused to let what I study define what wear or eat or say. I have refused to look like all those women engineers that put on only a pair of jeans and a t-shirt with boots. I wear heels, use make up, wear skirts and I even let my hair down sometimes. The picture is how I look today. I felt gorgeous and I thought to myself, why don't I look it? I promise I am back to writing about MY THOUGHTS

Vacation

Image
I never understood people who packed up their bags and decide to go for a 2 week vacation in the middle of the year. I totally did not get why they would waste so much money. However I am beginning to understand the importance of just getting away. To say this year has been hectic is an understatement.  I have known what it is to be helpless and homeless at the same time..............  I have been called a fool and an idiot in so many words and ways...................  I have been told how incompetent I am................................................ I do not even want to go into my own personal self-doubt that hunts me day and night (but mostly at night because its just more scary then, I tell you these self-doubts are smart little things eh ).... All that whining above is to give a justification of why I needed a break, I needed to get out, I needed to escape even if it would be just for a few days. And I got my reason to tour the world Manchester a...
