Humour – Deeperlook

The Problem With Beauty👾

Preamble

As usual, you already know😤. This topic has been brooding on my mind for quite a while now but I did not write it down on my list of topics yet😯.

I decided to share it.

It has been a while I posted. My veteran posts are fed up with me but since I already wrote them down, they cannot escape😒. Forgive me old posts, you need more energy that is why it is taking me time to write you😥😢.

Okay……..

Chelsea

“Chelsea is that all you are putting on your face?” Tayo asked

“Yes, you know I don’t fancy a lot of make up on my face” Chelsea replied

“I don’t blame you na. It is because you are beautiful. People like us have to, if not you will steal the show” Tayo teased as she faced the mirror applying foundation to her face

“You have come again. Haba now, you are not ugly” Chelsea laughed

“Abegi, don’t try to comfort me. You did not even put make-up but see how you are looking. I am very jealous oh” Tayo relied, she was putting eyeshadow on her upper eyelid

Chelsea laughed nervously. She picked the hand mirror she had placed on the bed they shared and stared at her reflection again.

Was she looking too much?

“What is it?” Tayo was watching Chelsea from the mirror as she smacked her lips, she wanted her red lipstick to paste properly on her lips

“Do I look too much?”

“You looking fine as always. Let us go” Tayo said as she grabbed her purse and looked at her reflection once more

“Is my dress okay? I think it is too plain” Chelsea continued

“What else do you want to wear? You look radiant. Abeg let us go” Tayo said as she left the room

Chelsea checked herself again. She looked okay. Simple and nice. She asked that question on purpose. It was okay if Tayo looked better than her, if not she would not hear a single word. Tayo will continously compare herself untill they reached whatever event they were going to.

It was time for pictures…..

They said cheese like 10 times but almost 6 of them were deleted because Chelsea looked prettier.

Chelsea laughed inwardly. Each time they asked for a new picture she would push herself further from the camera so their glittering eyeshadows would make more appearance.

They could take the spotlight, she did not need that to validate how she looked. If it would make them feel more comfortable around her, she did not mind…..

Is Chelsea doing it right?

My side of the story

As usual, this story was spontaneously written for this post, and I already love Chelsea😂😂. You will know why……

You see…..it took me a while to accept I was beautiful.

And after the acceptance came the struggle with acceptance of what the society understood and wanted to do with beauty.

I have joked in the past; that only the famous or rich who are beautiful can be popular because of it.

Those who do not have the opportunity to smile in front of expensive cameras do not get to show the world the beauty they posess.

In other words, everyone can be a model. It is about location and opportunity.

Beauty does not guarantee anything but can maybe put you in an advantaged position, that is if anyone notices….

After realizing that beauty was not enough to be accepted by the society, I further leaned into appreciating myself without really seeking for it outside, and it worked for me. I literally look into the mirror and appreciate myself, and love on myself. I do that often.

To the point that I believe I do not need much need qualifiers. I am comfortable to be the least pretty. I will say why I said this😅😅.

Most times, I noticed that femakes love to be the most beautiful among a crowd of other females. I do not know why the craze but, females will spend a lot of effort to look better than another person. To be the shining star.

No offence though but I feel that is trying too hard.
It feels like, there is a sense of superiority when they are the best dressed or best looking🙄

After all the effort, the one they are competing with does not put so much efforts and still looks the best.

I have thought on this topic for a while and I have decided to write it…..

PROBLEMS BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE FACE
1. People feel intimidated by your presence.
2. It is beter if you are the ugly looking one in the picture😂😂
3. They are in a haste to take you nice pictures
4. People think you have a lot of friends
5. People think you are proud
6. People expect you to be nice
7. You are beautiful, so you should not have problems
8. There is search for a flaw you have, so that it can be magnified
9. You are not sure if you are liked genuinely or not
10. KahsghsjaiIb

Forgive me😂😂😂😂😂

My list is so hilarious but there are elements of truth in them.

Most of the times, I am very conscious of others around me and try hard not to appear better than them. Maybe that is abnormal but if they would look better to feel better, then fine.

If you are fine and you know it, you will be content with that. No struggle.

I appreciate beauty and I see it as God’s therapy for humanity. When you see a beautiful face, it can make you smile and smiling is important for your face.

If not, tell me why everyone wants cute babies🙄

Okay okay okay okay

I also believe in inner beauty. That is character.

Having a beautiful character is very important. It radiates outside and causes you to shine more.

Being physically beautiful is not enough. If you add a beautiful charcater, then I call that Wholesome Beauty

Physical beauty can be bought with money. Character cannot be bought. It is earned through personal development.
O.R.A

Beauty is Art. The way you express it, makes it have relevance.

If you are beautiful, please be happy about it.

Smile at your reflection and love that beauty.
If you are in the middle, your smile can work it through.

Moreover…..beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder…….

You thought it was a beauty guide talk? Nah……

Just ramblings ……..

It is a selfie😎. The hair was done by me without the intention of taking pictures but it turned out as art😁

HOW TO SPEAK A LANGUAGE YOU DON’T KNOW✌〰🇳🇱🇳🇬🇵🇸🇰🇷🇰🇾⬜🔺🔷🔻🔸🔹🔵◼✨

PREAMBL3(E) ⏳

Too much emojis today and sincerely I did not eat lots of sugar. I usually get hyper when I consume uneccessary large quantities of sugar😏.

As usual, I will tell you about the history of this blog post and how it jumped the queue.

That is right! But today’s own is not spontaneous, it has been on my mind for a while, I did not just write it in the precious space of topics😏. I had planned to write the oldest waiting topic but because of the detailing that I want to do with it, it is still taking more shape in my brain world. I will hopefully share it soon because it is more than a year old now😆😆.

So……..let me continue🏄

LANGAUGE ISSUES!!🙄🙄

I had the opportunity to stay at different locations where different languages were spoken but I tell you, I have a big issue.

Learning languages is a big deal for me and sadly enough people tell me it is either I dont like the people or I am not interested (pronounced in…..te….re….sted)🙄🙄. It took me time to learn my native language and comprehend it and I am grateful that aside English I still know another unique language (so grateful).

I have been exposed to French and for ya information, not in France😏😏 but in my primary school. The school taught in French and English, and it was a wonderful experience. I was able to communicate, write and read francais but after moving from that particular state in Nigeria (my home country. Hope this is even correct English😂😂) to another state, the learned language began to fade😒 due to change in system of teaching.

Ankways, with the loss of that language came the oppprtunity to learn another language and…

As an official recluse, with few moments of speaking and interacting I did not learn anything😂😂. I felt more comfortable in English and spoke away……

By the way, in the former state I had stayed, another language was spoken there which I did not learn too.🙄🙄

Finally, in another totally new environment for kkasgsh years and it is only recently I am picking syllables and trying to also learn some of the languages I had experienced in past…..

Some of us are special😚😏

Kuku and her sarcastic eyes. Keep ya opinions!!🙄😂

So many times I have been teased to a fault with my assailants not showing any interest in teaching me. Funny how they do not show in..te..rest to teach whereas those who have taught me some stuffs rarely teased me🙃. I got tired of explaining some biochemical issues of why my special brain found it hard to articulate languages and I needed some time (maybe😶).

I am tired of talking about it already, let me give you tips to help you😂😂

SPECIAL SUPER DUPER TIPS✨😁

Okay….

Rubbing my hands in my head because I am typing…😶

Let me share what has helped me, and all you need to have is your brain, your eyes, your head, your mouth, few syllables of the language, and your…..brain💭

Look at the speaker attentively
Watch how their mouth is moving
Use your number 6⃣
Nod your head after like 5 minutes the other person has been speaking
Make sure to say “Uhuh”. “Ahah”. “Hmm”. “Ohoh”
Watch their body language. If they seem excited, smile. If they do not seem pleased, show concern. If they are complaining, give a “I wish I understood” smile. If they are laughing, do not laugh louder than them, just a small laugh
Try your best not make them too uncomfortable (try your best!)
If you can, excuse the place and give them a cute small wave (like bye bye👋)
Simplest tip of all, tell them you do not understand the language…..(Like “Malesh, ma arifti😎)
Okay…this tip is for those who know some scramble sqable, mumble jumble some few syallables you know. If you can introduce yourself, then try and tell the person you may not know how to continue😆😆

I have tried these tips and they have worked!

Dont ask how, I just told you!😂😂

Also, as I have been able to pick more syllables and comprehend some of the words in this new environment, I have been able to understand what the other speaker may be saying but responding may be the difficulty. In other cases, I was able to scale through without looking too awkward.

As an individual who enjoys Korean series and repeat the ones I love a lot, I have been able to pick some words too and enjoy throwing them everywhere (if you read my previous posts, you will notice).

Languages are beautiful and knowing a lot is even more beautiful. I have met amazing people who speak several languages with ease and it is beautiful watching them. Like beautiful.

I also noticed that the ability to speak more languages makes you a bit more easy to be around with and a more entertaining individual. The benefits are a handful and I will always encourage and admire it.

I still have my plans concerning this particular language, and hope to make better progress.

Fluffy is still staring into outer space🚀. She dunno😂😂

Most importantly, be kind to people you meet. A smile is a very good place to start even when you cannot speak a language. As you move up and down (if you do) more opportunites to meet people are presented to you, make the most of it…

Okay…..

Let me try and do what I need to do…

Ahnyon…..

The Painful Art of Saying No 🔋

I am home sick!!!!! And I dont have a cat!!!!!!😒😒

I had to say that🙂🙃

I wrote a post some months ago titled Rejection, I was as honest as I could be on that topic but you know, No is hard to be heard and sometimes also hard to say….

Maybe I will give spontaneous characters the opportunity to tell their story.

N.B The characters just knocked on the door of my mind that they wanted to feature in today’s blog post, so here they come 🤖

Christie was tired of saying yes to almost everyone but herself. Anytime she shaped her lips and mouth to say no, it would turn to yes. Like for example, the other day Vivian (with her annoying rag hair🙄) came to borrow her hair dryer.

“Chris, I would like to use your hair dryer” in her fake American accent

“But….I am going to… “

“Eyah na……My hair is dripping wet” Vivian complained

Dry it with a towel! Christie shouted inwardly

And stop calling me Chris…..its Christie🙄

“Please……” Vivian continued as she made a pleading face

“Okay….but…I would like….”

“Oh..thank you very much. I will bring it back in few minutes” Vivian repiled without waiting for the complete statement

Christie sighed, she knew that getting her hair dryer would be a tug of war but as usual she could not say no. Her hair was wrapped in a towel, she had washed her hair an hour ago and was even holding the dryer in her hand before the girl she preferred to call V V collected it.

It was not only Vivian but other people like Matt, Chest Nut (she meant Charity), Nonso, Pat the hat hand 🙄 and all the people she could think of. She always inconvienienced her self, borrowed them money and did all sorts of crazy stuffs because the word No could not form on her lips.

She was used to hearing these compliments:

“You are such a nice person” (whatever)

“You share my mother’s name” (liar)

“You are just like my mother” (bigger liar, she would have spanked you by now). That was Chest Nut after she had refused to give the money she had borrowed after three good months. Instead she was eating spicy chicken legs everyday😒

The painful part was that she struggled with all the thoughts inwardly but did not have the courge to say them out. In sincerity, she liked the attention and the compliments. At least everyone knew her as a nice girl (or stupid sometimes). So she continued to give in, even when she knew she ws supposed to say no.

Five days had passed since Vivian borrowed the hair dryer and Christie bumped into Tochi, the new girl in their student flat with it in her hand, oil all over, coconut oil. The girl did not even apologize…

“Excuse please, who gave you this dryer?”

“The owner lent me” Tochi replied sharply

“Is it Vivian?”

“Yes”

“Please, give it to me. It is mine” Christie said as clamly as she could. The girl was already annoying her

“I am sorry but I paid her to use it” Tochi replied as she continued doing what she was doing with her hair

What? Pay?

She was not supposed to be surprised. This was not the first time Vivian had done this. The last time she had used her (Christie) toaster to sell sandwiches and she even bought it.

This was the end…she was not accepting such again…..

“Vivian!”

“Hey babe, chill. What is it?” Vivian asked calmly without removing her eyes from her laptop. She was watching something funny, and she laughed in between while munching some chin-chin

“My hair dryer”

“Oh…I am sorry. I will bring it later”

“No! I want it now”

“Why?”

“I said I want it now and if anything is wrong with it you will pay me” her voice was rising

“Chill abeg. Common hair dryer” Vivian said as he wore her slippers

“Eh..it is common. Dont come and borrow it again”

“Take abeg…..small thing you vex” Vivian said as she handed the equipment back, oily and all.

Without saying more words, Christie left the room and returned to hers …

Her new plan was to start saying No……

No to nonsense and nonsesity (if it is a word🙄)

🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒

“Today, I plan to jump 20 times. Run for Two hours. Skip for 1 hour then do press up for 30 minutes”

30 minutes later Sarah was sleeping on the paper she was writing on.

She had done some many lists. Started so many diet plans but ice cream was hard to ignore. Okay if not ice cream, donuts, pizza, barbecue, burger….just the mention of them made her stomach rumble like royal rumble. Moreover who was she losing weight for. Nobody noticed her.

🍔🍟🍕🍦🍩🍰🍪🍗🍖🍡🍢🍫🍧🍥🍭🍬

“Let us go out this night. There will be plenty of everything” Cynthia squirmed in delight

“Are you serious?” Mary asked with interest

“Ehen. See I even managed the gathering, it will be a bomb! You girls must not miss it especially you Jessica” Cynthia said rolling her eyes

“Ahaha. Why are you rolling your eyes at me?”

“Why won’t I? You ready know”

“See ….I am very tired today. I need to rest, I cannot come and stress myself again. Moreover it is a late event and you know how I feel about them” Jessica tried to explain

“I hear you. Even the day ones, do you go? Always avoiding people” Cynthia complianed

“Cynthia I like you but our styles are different. If you dont like me, it is okay but dont try to force your style on me. I am not going, period. Did we not go to the beach yesterday? So dont try to blackmail me, I have things to do” she replied as she arranged her bed

“I hear you, her royal Majesty. I am going, I also have things to do”

“Bye bye. Stay safe oh. Doing as if you have several copies of your life, I have only one”

Mary mused as she watched them. Jessica always stood firm by her words and Cynthia was still finding it hard to accept. She would have loved to attend the event but just like Jessica had said, it was too late and not very safe. The town was not safe.

👧👧👧👧👧👧👧👧👧👧👧👧👧👧👧👧

My Turn 😏

I went to buy 7up, the one with extra fizzles (I wonder if it is English😂😂) so that after shaking it, it would pop and make me feel excited 😂😂

I have been looking for options to reboot myself, the nostalgia I am experiencing is making me sluggish….🤒🤒

I have been finding it hard to say no to myself for some days now. It is all about discipline😒. So many things/stuffs to do but instead I find better comfort with my phone and scrolling through Instagram pictures and laughing at YouTube cat videos, and YouTube comedies.

My belly fat has been warning me, and I have had to re-tell myself no to avoid more belly fat catastrophy😏😒

See…..I need to tell myself no….so I can write….to write….to write…..then afterwards tell myself no…..to timidity….

I am not always confident of my works. I appreciate and love them 100% but I still they are not very adequate some of the times. I still feel like…….I am an alien living on Mars👽

N.B I use the word ‘Alien’ alot but I am not a fan of aliens or alien stuffs, cartoons..blah blah blah……

I used to find it hard to say no and sometimes I still do but as I have grown older, I have realized that saying No is therapeutical and important. There are very important times to use that word, and you better use it.

Sometimes, we fear to be labelled as the bad person, and so allow all sort of toxic things and attitude around us, when a simple no would have avoided it.

I also realized that saying no does not make you the bad person for reasons that will protect you. Saying no for things you do not allow and accept according to your principles will help others see that you are firm on your words. At the end of the day, they let you be.

For a while now, I have been recieving a lot of Nos from humans and even from computers. I have had to deal with it because that is their no…..

Has it affected me?

Yes, of course. It has made me rethink several times and ponder……and …….akdfullkkznkmlL

To be able to say no in a way that does not hurt people too much (you may not be able to avoid it), you have to have a meaningful reason. It should not be because you are having silly fun or practicing how to use your mouth, there should be a candid reason.

You should have atleast had a mini-thought on it and imagine what the effect afterwards would be like. What I am saying here is that, you should have at least looked at both sides, yours and the other’s before letting the word out. The word No can really hurt especially when used carelessly

Importantly: after reviewing your reasons, don’t feel too guilty about using the word no. Maybe some guilt may follow especially if the other person has some attachment to you but if your decision to use that word is very relevant and important and healthy, then don’t allow guilt get you. Do not allow the other party blackmail you into feeling guilty for doing the proper thing because you will still feel guilty if you do not use it (No).

Which guilt will be better?

Moreover, anyone who would blackmail you into doing what does not make you feel comfortable is someone you should tell No more often…

Let me ask you a simple question: Have you read any of my books?

Have you even checked the review where I put the review of my works?

Have you even shared any blog post before?

Like never ever?

If your answer is this:

Then……..

Okay….that hurts…..

Do kindly check my page on this blog to see my books. You can scroll down to the end of this post to still see them. Or click on the Menu button on the top of this post to see them or Books section for a quicker access.

Let me add

As a Christian, I find God telling me No several times, and even though it is hard for me, I find strenght and comfort in the times I feel most out of space. Even in the No times, I have learnt to continue drawing to God more. The NO has allowed me the opportunity to see how important Faith is to me…

Okay…

I am still Nostalgic😫😖

#fromamedicalstudentfaraway

DON’T OFFEND ME 🙃😶😏😒

“Don’t provoke me to anger. Don’t provoke me to anger” he squeezed his face and hands as his feet tapped to his weird song I think he composed.

I described a scene from one of the music or talent auditions where amazing people show talents they don’t have, and family members dont stop them from going.

🐓🐔🐓🐔🐓🐔🐓🐔🐓🐔🐓🐔🐓🐔🐓🐔

Chickens…….

How do you deal with offences?

How do you respond?

How do you react?

How do you cope?

There are things we cannot avoid as existing humans, and one of them is: Getting offended

Somebody will step on your toes but the most important part is how you react and handle these situations when you are confronted with them.

So the questions lies in: What kind of offences are even the important ones? Or… .What kind of offences can we ignore?

I will not give specifics because… We are all different and have different principles that organize our lives.

But

I will say that; the offences which really have nothing to do with harming us, offences that we can shut our ears too. You know them…

Okay, let me give example 🙄🙄

If someone calls you big head, you can decide to ignore especially if you dont have big head 😂😂

If someone stepped on your real toes, you can ignore. He or she will remove their shoes 😂😂

If someone insulted you, you dont have to insult back 😁😁

If. . . .. 😆😆

Truth be told there are issues which can just let the sleeping dog lie.

These issues will not produce any fruitful results when you decide to dwell om them.

The questions you need ask yourself are:

What will I gain from doing this?
What change am I expecting?
What impact will it make?
Will my response have an effect on the other person? Like will it help them?
Will I even get relieved from my annoyance or will it escalate?
Will? What?

Whatever.. .you want to add. .🐜🐜

There are certain situations you will need to confront people on and even in those situations you dont have to spit out your opinions anyhow. Dont spit like Llamas😒😒. I mean you dont have to be abusive or insulting, you will still not pass your message across.

It is best you pick your words and the most suitable ones for that situations and intelligently trash it out. Intelligent words will stick when you are confronting another for a wrong doing🙂

Dont express yourself when you are extremely angry. It is best you do it when you feel more comported, you will pass your message better.

You can close your(I wanted to say ya) eye and walk(waka) past 🚶🚶🚶🚶

In the book of Proverbs 17:28, it says “A fool, when he holds his mouth is considered wise. ..”(Paraphrased). There are so many passages talking on that in this book. I find this very funny 😂😂. You got(gat) to hold your mouth. Your opinion must not be spilled all the time especially when you are angry! 🙃🙃

Dont store offences and dont go looking for one. Save yourself unnecessary stress.

Stress can cause peptic ulcer 🙃🙃 and compromise your health too. If you are always on the edge looking for who will offend you, you are putting yourself in an uncomfortable situation for nothing.

Just know that people will offend you. You cannot avoid it but you can always deal with your response 💁

Maturity comes at a price. ..

And handling offences is one of them.

if you have a bad temper, anger issues, please see a doctor. Deal with it. Go for therapy. Go for a dance class. Go gyming. Go do charity. Go wash toilet…. .

Direct your excess emotions to creativity, to productivity. Make the world better🌫

Especially before you involve someone else in your life, deal with these issues very well.

I have met certain humans who have and tried and tested my patience. N. B I did not always win

I have met humans who had great control over their emotions. N. B they taught me so much 😊

We need more rational people, more matured people. Can you be one of them?

Finally: I listened to Lauvie Ajayi on Ted Talk on Youtube and she sparked me more 💞. Stand for the right, they may not like you but they will respect you.. .

Me in my corner, climbing the steps gradually 📈💪💪

I did a podcast on this topic, I said somethings I did not say here and plus music too 😁😁. Don’t Offend Me

Have a productive day 🌻🌿

POST IT 📜🗂

This may be the real name, it may not be 🐡

But I have decided to call it that 👆. I love the little sticky notes (another variant of its name). They make my crowded head feel a little at ease 😊🙇

All I need to do is write down my thoughts, plan, memorizations and stick it!! (“So easy” cloud☁📣 voice from Trolls cartoon 😂😂).

I am a paper lover and if I accumulate paper everywhere, I will look like a dustbin 😃😂. Stick notes are also a form of paper but easy to dispose and more cute like this cat🐱

When I read, I have it by my side and as many are careful to notice, medical students always have it in their textbooks or notes. That is after painting all their books with marker or pencil because every word is important including ‘is’😂😂😂😂

So even when I don’t tick out my plans like what subject to read or what textbook to read, writing it down on that tiny piece of colourful paper makes me feel at ease. And then I do, it feels like I climbed a ?🤔🤔, like I ate ice-cream 🍧. Never climbed a mountain before and probably not planning to 😂😂

I also write cute words on it and stick it around me, it is so refreshing to have nice words around you (‘Try some positivity eh’ by Branch in Trolls 😂😂: spoiler he was a betrayer 🙄🙄 and that cloud wore socks without shoes, they weren’t even equal sizes 😂😂)

There was particular time, I jotted important points on them and used them as my revision before exam. It was easy to just flip it through (I think I still have those papers 🔰🗨:dont judge 😂😂)

So my post it notes are a necessity for every semester🐣🐤

If you need a little bit of organisation, it would be nice to get them and start your trial, you may get to love it like I do 🐧🐧

And also.. Try posting it on your wall with amazing words……

Learn to encourage yourself, most times first 💪💪 and be like Olaf ⛄ who gives warm hugs 😊😊

Have a lovely sunshine ☀☀ day from miss sunshine(‘That’s me’ cloud voice again ☁📣. You should know by now I love this cartoon 😁😁)

And a productive, refreshing day…….

🤗🤗🐭🐥🐦🐬🐾🕊🌹🎉

#fromamedicalstudentfaraway

What are the first words you see?👓. Ignore the funny tapes and the board too, that is recycling at work 😂😂🙄🙄 (creativity is needed 😁😁)

VINTAGE

“See the way you are wearing your cap like an old woman”

And from then my social studies teacher in junior secondary continued teasing me. Mr Rabiu. I was one of his favourite student though and I also did not take offence at his teasing.

My family members including extended say I am a look alike of my grandma (paternally) and so as my culture entails, I am almost treated like her and also called (I bear her name also)

Let me come to me……

I have always felt ancient😂😂😂😂😂. If I believed in reincarnation, it may have made sense. Lol.

My taste in fashion dates backward though the world choses when to date😂😂😂😂(fashion is not new, just recycled)

The clothes, cars, art, lifestyle of the eighties have always fascinated me and I sometimes feel like am floating in that time too🙄🙄 except they did not have free internet as this😂😂😂😂 and laptops and smart phones and blog pages😂😂😂😂

I love the word vintage….my favourite car is…….my family and close friends know and sometimes tease me about it.

Well, I am not that boring in fashion🤓🤓. I love classy, unique looks. I rarely copy cat styles. I love something different and rare, even when it comes to shoes, bags etc.

I have also fancied make up, nail polish, eyeliner😂😂😂😂 from a young age and sort of learnt something about it on my own (my mum not a fan). As an adult, I have come to set a baseline about them>>>>moderation.

Even if I love any of them and they exceed my scale of moderation, I withdraw (But I fancy nail polish, lipstick, mascara still😂😂)

When it comes to dressing, I may seem boring but I do all that on my own terms not anyone else’s. I choose the day I want to look like a young girl and the days I want to be so comfortable. I always picture what I want and get to bring it to life. Just that most of the time, I love to look very comfortable😂😂

Before anyone that knows me say I am always looking like an old woman, dont poke the bear!!!! 😆😆

So we pick the taste we love. What makes us unique and respectful. How you dress could make other address you differently except in some annoying cases🙄🙄.

I learnt more and alot about being more youngish and girlish (was never a tomboy, I would have been more boring) in the University.

I learnt about face creams🙄, face cleansing liquids, brown powder, natural products for the face. Why in the world is it all about face? I learnt more than I knew from other girls and also browsing the internet🙂🙂

Now, I have picked the ones that suite my taste and style. I still learn something different everyother time.

Some of us dont show the whole world what we are like, we choose who we decide to show those hidden parts of us. Sometimes even those close to us dont know us well (not anyone’s fault) and maybe one random stranger seem to click better and get to see our point of view.

All in all, just be who you are with what you love.

I will still draw that line of moderation

One day my style could become everyone’s style🤗🤗

And if you are a Christian, let the Holy Spirit guide you😇😇

CRITERIA OF BEING A CONDUCTOR

Now when I say conductor don’t rush to think it is music conductor or school conductor or..which one again sef. I think there are types of conductors even though it is never taught in social studies or civil education, wait civil education? Am grateful I was spared….

It is not easy to do any job oh, even washing plates and for the lazy ones to even remove their hands from their mouth after putting food inside is hard (chronic disease of laziness awaiting deliverance).

Ehen..let me continue, to be a bus conductor is not easy oh. Did my own observation (nobody send me oh) and noticed some things, let me list them and you will see that it is not easy.

You must know money and maths (if not your oga will beat and pursue you).
You have good eyesight and hear well (if not they will cheat you).
You must know how to hang unto the bus even if it is with one hand (more people more money).
You must know places oh (if not..sha ..not too much consequences).
You must know how to fight or argue or talk smoothly (if you are megege even a yeye passenger will deal with you).
If you cannot do no 5 then you must know how to avoid any magana(talk) or maybe be friendly.
You must know how to handle your pocket (if not those passengers that enter bus to steal will steal your money and your story..not funny at all at the end of the day).
You must know how to run after the bus (I noticed the drivers love their conductor chasing the bus, cannot understand why).
You must know respect things oh (because if you no respect your driver, him no go recommend you for another person).
You must know how to drive (incase your oga no well or any incasities).

This may sound hilarious or silly but my reason for writing this, is to tell you that nobody finds it easy where they are. Don’t look down on anyone if they are working hard to earn their money the right way (at least I learnt that from the Bible and from my parents).

So wherever you are, please contribute your honest quota and try and appreciate others too. They may just be struggling to move on and your encouraging words may be the boost they needed.

Me in my corner will also try my best.
