Lessons From Q1



So it's April, just like that. I remember us complaining that January was like three months, I agreed because it seemed like forever especially if your salary was paid on or before the 20th of December. February strolled in and out then march came too and ended just like that. The first quarter of the year is over but it won't really matter much if it's over if we made good use of our time and learnt enough lessons from the previous months that would come in handy in subsequent months. 

Personally, I've learnt a lot from life, experiences, and interactions with others and I'd like to share some of them with us.

People die, there's nothing we can do about it but to live. Let’s face it, what has happened has happened and it’s most likely not your fault (except you killed the person) so stop beating yourself up about it and live. Live your life so well that if the person is watching, they’ll be proud of you.

Save money, you'll need it. Saving money is not overrated. It will always come in handy so even if you don’t have a purpose, just save it, the purpose will come along at a time you might even least expect.
 
Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it. You need to control your thoughts and even your lies too because you can talk and think things into happening.

Be there for those who are there for you. Life is too short to not be there for people who are doing all their best to be there for you. Show some love.

Be genuinely happy for others, it won't kill you, might lead to your own blessing. I don’t get how people can’t just be happy for other people genuinely; I mean, what will it cost you? Be happy mehn, you won’t die and who knows, you might just attract your own blessings through that little act.

Live, love, laugh. You only die once as much as you only live once so take your time to live your life as productive and positive as possible. Love as much as possible and please laugh, find humor even in weird things.

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...
