Day30 - Something I am Excited for
I am so excited that I can't wait for 00:00am 01.01.2012 to come, I can't wait for the over flowing joy, I can't wait to start the best part of my life, I can't wait to hear happy new year, to receive the warmest hug of my life, I can't wait to look back and smh and say it was worth the wait. I am too excited to type, this December has been so sweet and a memorable one, forever in the sands of time. I know you can't wait to hear my story so stick with me, the good news is on the way so wait for it.
I want to thank you all who were there in one little way or the other for me, the last 363days have been fun with you all, there were the depressing days and the joyful days but you have not seen or read the headlines about me yet. I want to say HAPPY NEW YEAR in advance to you all and keep it at the back of your mind that in whatever you do "Don't stop believing" and in case I never come back to blogging, by God's grace we would all meet at the top. This is just the genesis of it all.........

Day29 - Five Weird Things About Me
2. I hate Onions- My mum claims maybe if I had been eating onions right from when I was young, I might have been fatter and healthier than I am. Please tell her heavenly yimu for me. I can't just stand the taste of onions, it runs blood in my veins faster than normal. For the first time in my life after so many years of cooking I sliced my 1st onion x_x trust me it felt good and also tasted good. I guess its the thought at the back of my mind that keeps me away from the root vegetable.
3. I hate Traditional Wear- Asin seriously m I Nigerian?! I hate everything about culture it pains me to the bone marrow n my parents dislike that about me. I always give a #notinterested look when it comes to all these cultural stuff. 2009 not one day did I not dress english wear, 2010 we can say not more than 10 times...2011 I improved at least 15 times and upwards. In fact I wore trad on tuesday this week and guess what I was referred to as "Sir" with my boyish looks *winks*. 2012 I am going to sew all the materials I have piling up in my room, I just need that respect :D
4. I hate the Rains- Any day it rains I am just like a girl in her period. Mood swings here and there. I don't hate the rain because back then in high school our environs had clayey soil, people stepped on the clay and brought footprints to the room, I don't hate the rain because I stay in lekki and my house and street always get flooded. I have hated the rain right from childhood, it just brings this dark unusual feeling that makes me angry. You don't want to meet me on a rainy day.
5. I hate Alcohol- The taste disgusts me, I know this is weird for a guy but I don't know why I dare to be different. I just drink ehrmmmmmm let's just say peer pressure and wanting to be a big boy that's the lucid truth, you can't expect me to go clubbing and start ordering malt or smirn-off. I know alcohol makes you stop thinking of the present and makes you so high that you forget your sorrows for the moment but trust me it just sucks up all the water in your dumb brain yes you m talking to you. Give me berry blast and I would kiss your feet I love that drink more than even #teamarsenal :D

Day28 - Somewhere I'D Like To Move To or Visit
Thinking, where will I really want to move to or visit. Yeah finally I think I want to visit all the continents *dats greedy of me* well its my blog. I really want to go to Alaska, I have always had thoughts of dieing the first night I sleep there. Ask me why?! Well I heard its so cold there that you need a freezer so your food stuffs wouldn't freeze up. Its so funny how I sleep with my fan on and wake up with blocked nostrils talkless of using my a.c and I want to visit the North-Pole. My respiratory system is really that weak :( God dey.
Trinidad and Tobago one of the archipelagic states in the southern Caribbean should be my next stop. You know how I always day-dream of marrying a wife from that beautiful island and starting my family there, well that's me for you :p. Next I think I will make a brief stop in Brazil, I have heard stories about their ladies always half nude :D pleasant to the eyes mehn.....heheh please don't hate. I really need God to save me from me.
Oh no!! I almost forgot Palm Island Grenadines, I remember the first time I heard about it, I hit my google button straight and I told God this is the place for our honey-moon if He tarries :D. Wow I am already tired of typing on this keypad well we r back to Europe and it is no other place but Paris ( I am still learning french sha), next flight to China, they are gradually overtaking the world if you can't beat them join them asap!! Anyway my main reason is that I really want to see how over-populated they are and still manage to be a great country no major reason.
In Africa if I were not Nigerian I would have wanted to visit this great nation to really see how third world they are. I guess the story I would have bn writing is: let me get to Nigeria and really experience what they mean by no constant supply of electricity. Well it is the other way round so south-africa here I come, its me Reme ur boy you have been waiting for. Last stop, let's quickly touch down Australia, hmmm heard Australasia is a magnificent continent I need to get ma footprints there. Okay let's stop the day dream, I think I need a trip to Accra for easter or maybe calabar here in Nigeria that should be fun.
By Gods grace 2012 will be fun, watch out!!!

Day27- A Quote I Try To Live By
I remember the first time I came across "Nisi Dominus Frustra" I couldn't help but ping the owner of the personal message on bbm, usually I am not bothered by peoples pm or their status cos some peeps just update their whole life on bbm anyway this is not why we are here. He told me the latin phrase meant "unless the Lord we labour in vain" and it all made too much sense in fact it made brain #datisall.
Since then I have tried to live by it. It explains the 1st verse of Psalm 127....that reminds me I have been ordained as a worker in RCCG gigal parish (sunday school teacher/usher) heheheh I hear chants *preach on brother* lmao dnt mind me. Anyway Psalm 127 states and I quote "Except the LORD build the house, they labour in vain that build it: except the LORD keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain" KJV, this can be related to our everyday life without God in whatever we do, we all labour in vain.
So I need you all to take a deep breath after reading this and think if not for God where would I have been today...you can also steal it and make it ur most favourite quote *winks* I stole it so u can also steal it after all God is big enough for all.
HAPPY BOXING DAY!!!
Life without the Lord is in vain.

Day26 - Things I Dislike and Like about Myself

Day25 - Something I am Currently Worrying About
When I booked my ticket to come stay with my folks I told myself the only thing that would bring me back to gidi before my expected return is that sudden mail or phone call either for a job exam or an interview. I am tired of worrying, in fact I am done worrying. It is too early for me to start growing old due to worrying. During my stay here there was no one day my phone light blinked and I did not wish it was a heart-warming mail or my phone ring and I did not wish it was an HR member. Al is well *in my Indian accent*
I received so many gifts and even when I was asked what I wanted, I would say the best birthday gift I can wish for is a good paying job, I have not given up on God and I know he has not given up on me. I know my best friend stayed approximately 350days before he got a job but seriously I am tired of staying home, I am not the kind of person that likes seating in one place my body itches me a lot. My gift from God is still on the way I am trusting Him all out. I am too proud to ask daddy for money no I would not till things become too hard which I know would never get to that extent *I am so trying to smile* it is difficult right now.
Lagos here I come with 2 additional kg which I know I would shred in 2days, I am still laughing hard you wouldn’t believe what happened this night at our daily night devotion, daddy was the man of the moment he just came out of the shower which he was just observing for the first time of the day *if it is Reme now they would either murder me with the power or the tongue or wouldn’t allow me eat* and remixed not only 1, not only 2 but all the hymns we sang. I kept laughing hard but couldn’t be accompanied by mummy who was crashing, she really had a tough day, left the house by 7am for exercise then left for the market and didn’t return till 2pm. Let me leave my parents drama for now I am really going to miss them. Well I thought I wouldn’t be happy throughout this post but plans indeed change got to crash now, we leave for service by 6am and trust me you do not want to get an ex-military man late you would wish you were dead. Tkcr fellas Adios!!!

Day24 - Five Words/Phrases That Make Me Laugh
This is the hardest topic in this challenge; I have been cracking my small skull to come up with something good o well!! I couldn’t so I can just say thank you for passing by. Heheheh don’t go anywhere yet, if 3 words were requested for it would have been too easy, if it was 5 words that get me annoyed it would have come rolling in a very long time ago anyway but here it goes. I wonder how many of you know Terry-G the ganja master (that’s what I think of him), he is so haggard looking, and sometimes I feel he is a mad man with a level of good sense. I wonder how much weed he takes into his system before he says all the rubbish that comes out of his mouth. Everything can be acting sha, he may not even be a weed master or a psycho he just wants people to talk or leave a comment. The 5 words that make me laugh are *you can stop guessing right about now* “MAKE I KNACK YOU APAKO”. I remember the first day I saw apako (pronounced akpako) on twitter, you wouldn’t believe I checked the dictionary, then a thought flooded my mind this word is too razz to be in oxford, forgive me I had not heard the song then, you know I am always carrying last when it comes to music.
Anyway the first person I asked the meaning was in my office and he was like its terry-g’s own slang, terry must have been high when he said it. It made me just take it as his personal phrase, you know now like Tubaba’s personal phrase is “NOTHING DEY HAPPEN”.I asked my very close friend and all that could come out of his dirty mind was “make I f*** you”, another person said it means “make I knack you stick”, another said “make I knack you stick” another friend thinks it’s a “BELL”…..this is going to be an endless controversy but as more replies come in I would feed it into this post. I leave you with this *now singing and dancing* make I knack am knack am knack am, make I knack you apako baby make I knack you apako…..lmao =D
