WHAT IS IT WITH NEW YEAR!!!.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! (excited and screaming at the top of your voice)
Everybody is excited to see a new year, hugging the closest person to you, making phone calls to loved ones, sending broadcast messages on bbm, whatsapp, sending sms to friends even deciding to forgive the people who wronged us the previous year that ended.

It’s a fresh start, a new beginning, a clean slate is stretched out and the writing of another 365 days has begun. Faiths are held high,  hopes are kept up and like a child who just received a gift of a new toy, we keep our optimism high. Whether a Christian or not, we all are praying the new year is good to us, expectant of the year.

Target are set, resolutions are made, achievements to be made are listed out, things to be done, things not to do, friends to stay away from, friends to stay close to, a new idea to work on, previous ideas to improve on, each and everyone his own aspiration for the year.

A new year is like a wake up call for many of us. Haven lived a few years on earth, sometimes we loose track of time, purpose, faith, optimism, hardwork, achievement, targets, etc. We forget the only real new year we ever had was when we were born and every other new year is a wake up call to purpose. It’s a reminder to live life and to not just exist. Penning our names in the sands of time.

What are the lessons learnt the previous year, what are the mistakes made the previous year, what are our weaknesses, what were the things that stood in our way to becoming a better person, stopped us from helping others, it’s a wake up call to look back and forge ahead.

I personally don’t see life as a race but each day make steps. I don’t mock people who make resolutions, if that will help you make steps why not. Determination, discipline, diligence, strong-willed, never quitting, trustworthy, honesty, confidence, will get us to our aspirations. Standing on each of our laid out plan for the year, working on it and keeping our faith high even when all hopes are lost.

Sometimes all we need to see us through the year is the same optimism we started the year with.  Winners never quit but quitters never win.

I hope this write up helps us through the year. Agree or disagree, all comments are welcomed (kisses and hugs).

TEENAGE PREGNANCY (DEBATEABLE POST).

Sex is a choice between two consenting adults and when I see teenage girls moving around with protruding stomachs, I wonder; how did this happen?, how did the baby get there?……WiFi, Bluetooth, flashshare or rather xender?. Somebody please answer (lol).  Now Sarcasm aside, this is a much more bigger issue than I thought.

For a whole week I kept seeing different teenage girls with pregnancy. My thought is how are they feeling?. And then I give kudos to their parents for allowing them keep their babies since I am not a fan of abortion. Sometimes trying to correct one mistake (abortion) could be costlier than accepting it (keeping your baby).

I read an article sometimes back which said that research shows that women who give birth after the age of 25 have greater chances of living long when compared to women who give birth before the age of 25. I don’t want to concern myself with the health risk, the shame the teenagers have to live with, the way society reacts to teenage pregnancy, how it affects the lives of the teenagers and finally how their parents have to cope with it because the result is not always a friendly one.

My concern is where did it go wrong, who did not do their home works well; parents, teachers, religion or lack of it, over protectiveness or lack of it, too much of civilization or lack of it, unlimited access to the internet or lack of it, lack of sex education or too much of it (for our teenagers who like to experiment) or should the male involved know better?

I stand to be corrected, I believe the male or rather men involved are of a higher age and should know better. Most times they are adults. So is sex with a teenager rape since they are not adults (I don’t believe they have the choice of consenting or not) or sex.

Comments are very much welcomed

HOW I SPENT MY CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY

This topic is a funny one right (lol). It reminds me of my primary school essay topics. I remember after every Christmas Holiday our first English assignment is always how I spent my Christmas Holiday (lol).

For this year I broke my first law of Christmas which is to not go anywhere and just stay home with my family and enjoy the day. But today I went out (yes I did lol) and that is because a new life is involved (Yay…. So happy). A new baby which Means double the celebration.

Usually I spend more than half of my Christmas day in the kitchen after which I freshen up and then hang my feet on the table sipping drink (lol), watching TV and having my siblings run around (for people who have younger siblings, u know how it can be lol) while I have to drag for the TV remote with my brother if I want to change the channel (we all always have that one big bully right…….lol).

This year was a really different year. It was a beautiful morning and I woke up to a confession (let me spare u guys the details… Winks lolz). After which I decided I wanted set off fireworks (I never use to do that but this year I did and it was awesome…….lol) and then the cooking, cooking, cooking. After cooking I went out (smiles). I went first to see the new born, the major reason I broke my first law of Christmas. Getting there, there was talks of who the baby looks like and the joy of motherhood and then all the talks of your time and all that (let me spare u guys the story but they were pretty interesting to listen to) after which I left and then I stopped by at a friend turned sister’s house. I just met her but we clicked. We have gotten quite close too.

I got an awesome welcome. Her dad even came out to say hello to me. After chatting for a while and of course taking the menu menu I was offered (I even had to turn down some….i don’t want to add any pound after Christmas lol) she walked me a little distance on my way home and then that was when the talking started. We talked a few minutes about every other thing, then She told me things that touched my heart . The first thing she said was “do you know I am always happy when I am around you”. I didn’t know and she told me she even told her dad this and that about me (let me spare u guys the details….lol but they really made my head swell) and her dad said I am a friend to be kept (Doyin really I am honoured) and that was why he came out to say hello to me specifically. She made me feel blessed to be who i am( I guess this is really what Christmas is about, giving positive energy to People and Doyin I am happy we crossed path). To think I left her house early because I wanted to get home on-time to watch jenifa’s diary(lol…. i never miss that show) but I ended up getting home late (awww… but it was worth it). Today I broke a few laws and it was okay(lolz). In all, my Christmas was a simple one but it was full and I enjoyed it.

Hope u all had a wonderful Christmas and let’s remember to give positive energy to others (hugs&kisses).
