Crushes

We've all had,presently have and will definitely still have crushes
I still remember my first crush vividly
I was in primary three at the time
He walked into my class with his very elder brother as he was coming to the class for the first time as a new student.
I couldn't take my eyes off him, he was the finest boy I had ever seen at the time.
He was dark, tall, very cute, his hairstyle was errrr, I think it's the one they call punk, he wore a blue jean and a long-sleeved striped shirt with a canvas to match.
My class teacher, Mrs Awe then told him to sit beside me. It was almost unbelievable, a whole me with this boy I couldn't take my eyes off, he was very charming.
As time went on, we grew very close. We did almost everything together except eating, everyone in class began to call us "my only, my only", I'm still laughing now as I'm reminiscing, it was a sweet experience until one day he just disappeared. I was worried but there was little or nothing I could do, no one knew where he was then I later discovered that he wrote his common entrance in primary three so he was in jss1 when I was in primary four, so his chapter closed there. I used to see him once in a while after that though and the feelings were still there, I even dreamt about getting married to him twice, well, that's that.

So my second crush, hmmmm, it was during my school's holiday coaching into a new class.i.e, jss3 to ss1. He wasn't a student of my school but he attended my school's coaching which was how we met. He was very cute, tall and had a very sexy smile and laugh. Could hardly stop staring at him although I tried my best to make sure he didn't notice. We eventually became friends and I realised looks could be deceiving most times because he wasn't the way I imagined.

Didn't have any other serious crush for some years until I entered the university. I was crushing on more than one person at the time soo no gist about it. I'm crushing on some people right now though but they're people I can hardly reach, let me tell you some, I'm crushing on Jason Derulo, I'm sure you know him, the super sexy tall dark guy with the amazing voice and there's Sam Smith, my love for him is hmmmMmm, I can't explain it myself, his voice is bliss, his voice has made me cry on many occasions.

There's just one lesson I've learned in all my crushing, and I think it applies to most of us. Most of the time, our crush isn't as sweet as we think he/she is but because we're smitten, we can hardly see our crushes for who they truly are which is why we should take our time to know them before making serious mistakes.

Tenderfoots just conclude that the feelings should be acted upon immediately the crush comes but it shouldn't be that way. The longest crush lasts 6 months, so I heard, if your crush lasts long enough, then it's probably time to act upon it. I should probably act on mine though but where can I find Sam Smith?, I'd let you know when I do.

Tout a l'heure.

I got to find out crush crashes. But girl you bad....at primary 3 you already know what man/crush/love is Lol. And you said he was carrying a punk hairstyle *mouth wide opened* at what century a beg.
Hope this is not a script or movie Lol

How I kill my crush is that I tell myself, its gonna die off and they won't meet up to my expectations cos they humans....most times crushes got some excesses we can't deal with...believe me I can't pardon such...so I put a dynamite and blow off the crush
Lol, I had more than one so I don't think the gist would end if I start
I knew punk maybe because of my brothers, its not a script, it's real!. All you said is very true, thank you.

My Marriage Story...So Far

I get to be asked about how marriage has been a lot by some of my unmarried friends. I’ve not even been married for long enough to be qualified to answer that question. From my little experience, marriage, like any other phase in life isn’t all smooth. It has its ups and downs. There’s an extra respect you get as soon as you get married. I get to be called MA a lot by people who wouldn’t ordinarily call me that and I’m wondering why. I guess it’s just the way the society has made it. Oh and I lost some friends as soon as I got the MRS title. Some people don’t care about how serious your relationship is, they’d still be on your ‘case’ but as soon as you say “I do”, they’d forget you like you never existed. This was good and bad for me because I considered some to be great friends but then, I guess I was wrong. Then there’s the pressure to get pregnant, I got lucky to get pregnant earlier than I thought though I wasn’t even ready. But before my body began announcing it, I still...

Life after Death...real or not?

Life after death....hmmmm      I know we've all heard or read stories about people who lived after they died.      I'm not talking about reincarnation this time, I'm talking about people who were confirmed dead but were still recognised elsewhere alive, hale and hearty.      Okay, there was this lady who resided close to my house diagnosed with tuberculosis or something related because she was drying up real bad, might have been Hiv too (just saying), she usually patronised my shop where soft drinks and snacks were sold. She usually bought only pepsi or 7up, as the spirit led her I guess.      I was very young then and observant too as always so one day she came as usual, bought 7up and left. Not long after she left, I heard that she had died the previous day.      I wondered how someone could be dead and still buy her usual the next day, I thought it was a strange thing so I never told anyone.   ...

My End Of The Year Note

Dear OTTH Readers, how are we? I'm very fine and I can smell 2016 already afterall it's just some hours from now so I guess I'd just use this medium to say merry Christmas in arrears and happy new year in advance. I hope we all "shouted out" to our uncles and aunties, class teachers, lol, don't mind me. I'm sure we remember those Christmas funfairs where kids shout out to their loved ones where some even cry while talking, it's very hilarious watching them. Okay, now to the reason we're here. This year wasn't so bad for me though it didn't start so well but I have a lot to be thankful for and I'm going to share them with you. Let's start with the negatives so the story can have a good ending. For about half of the year, I was jobless which means I was frustrated, broke, you know the drill. Recently too, I lost my school's Vice Chancellor, Mrs. Esther Tchokatcheu who played a very important role in the process of my being a gr...
