this n that

It’s 8.53 pm and I am on my computer, was watching Grey’s Anatomy a while back, then the wonderful power holding company did their thing and became nice like 5 minutes after, more like some kid had just discovered the power source switch a new toy!

Anyways, I got on my computer and thought to blog something, but not really sure what about! Considering the fact that I haven’t done so in a while anyway!

So I switch on my lappy (that’s my way of referring to my laptop) and go to a music folder on my desk top and I am listening to Chris Daughtry’s “Home” and I open my bag to get my flash drive and I see my Audio Bible CD, so I decided to listen to the new testament starting from Matthew 1. The Daughtry song was skipping anyway and I was beginning to wonder why!

So here I am typing away on what is happening to me right now. Talking about Grey’s anyway, whats with this craze about Series any way, they get you sucked in and it’s almost impossible to get satisfied with them. If you work then you know what I mean, you cant ditch work, just to make it home for a series and by the way, I’m not sure Naija is into the Tivo culture, well with the new multichoice decoder…………….. and right now I do not remember what it is called, just maybe I would before I’m done writing, we might eventually get around to doing that more often.

I love Ally McBeal! And good thing her series are all done, just a little over a hundred episodes. Seasons one to five! I saw it all again last Christmas and boy was I excited seeing every single episode. I can’t believe it’s already a year again! Where did time go!

Talking about the end of the year, for those who had dreams and goals and resolutions and blab la bla……………………. Did y’all get to keep to all of them? Hmmmmmmnnnnn I wonder, I just wonder………….i’m not going crazy by the way, heard that line in a naija series I used to watch as a kid and it just stuck. Think the title was “third eye”, it was some guys catchy phrase!

Anyhoo, still talking about the end of the year and all. I never really did have resolutions for this year um well, I guess I kinda said I wanted to be a nicer person. That sounds kinda funny doesn’t it, not sure I achieved it, but next year is another.

Well I kinda made my peace with issues I had with people and with myself and let go of a lot of pain, so I am actually a lot lighter in terms of emotional baggage. I got a pay rise……..yipee!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yeah whatever!

Well I wrote about the true meaning of Christmas two Christmases ago in this blog and the meaning still hasn’t changed for me. Even though those were happier times. …………….and by happier times I mean days when everything was perfect! And I was for the first time in my adult decision making life genuinely happy and I knew it! I didn’t need any one to tell me, I just knew it, I lived it and I enjoyed it and savored it. …………………and I still have wonderful memories of it.

Just got off the phone with my sister, who is holidaying for Christmas and I’m home alone cooking Christmas lunch!

Thought I just heard my father scream my name now and I answered and ran downstairs only to hear that he didn’t call for me. I was always warned about that by my mum (May her soul rest in peace) never ever to answer if I wasn’t sure or couldn’t see the person calling out my name! our wonderful mothers who told us soo many things while growing up that sometimes, we do not know which is true or not, we just somehow take it into our adult lives.

My mama used to say to me, “don’t drink coconut water, you will become very scared and paranoid when you grow up!” funny thing though was I saw her drink it one too many times or when she said to me……………now get a load of this, “don’t ever eat chicken butt, you would become a gossip!”

Anyhow when I went downstairs, heard a song I have heard one toooo may times on tv, but i guess I heard it with meaning tonight. Chorus goes thus…..

“Though I walk through the valley lo
I’ll fear no, evil
By the waters, still my soul,
My heart will trust in you
My heart will trust in you”

For me this just says that God knows all, sees all, and knows best and hey! He can be trusted, so by all means give it all to him and let him do the rest.

This ends it for me tonight, off to watch more series! I didn’t quite have a title for this post when I started, cuz it wasn’t planned, but will just call it “this n that”

Ciao ciao peeps!

NB: It's a PVR Decoder! i just remembered
