Yayyy!!! It's been 2 weeks of fun, consistency n appreciable audience on my blog. I'm grateful to God n I thank u guys for ur support. It would have felt lik unnecessary blabbering if not 4 ur presence, thanks a bunch!!!

So wha do I have to offer today?? Lets see.....

I wrote many months back n I quote (n it feels cooooooool quoting myself)

"Gone are the days when the best of jobs are reserved for those with the best of grades, the tables have turned and now the best of jobs are reserved for those with best of friends"

This statement is not just limited to employment, it is equally applicable to other good things of life.



A friend laid his life for me this Easter n I dunno men....words can't express how I feel about d whole ish. As in.... I kept on looking at him in class today think deep on his good acts n I still can't figure out how best to pay him back.

Sacrifice!
Sacrifice; that is the true unit of measurement of friendship. How much r giving to the ppl u call ur frnds? Hw much can they draw from u?

0100 - It was nice talking to Buki, catching up on tins....awon fresh kids Texas. N just in case u c this, I still don't like u so live with it :-|

0200 - Got new episodes of my favorite British TV series, Hustle....nice learning one or two con stunts b4 I dozed off.

0800 - Classes again, gists, pictures (since my H.O.D surprisingly skipped his class)
For the first time this semester, I need to give academic-seriousness a big chance. I need to focus somehow wit my midterms fast approaching n with 5weeks of lectures to go.

1500 - Lunch, Nap

2000 - Had to witness d departure of d last English team standing in the league of champions. I'm beginning to enjoy soccer in a most unusual manner these days....d game is no longer as predictable as it used to be.
I love football arguments, as annoyin as they may be, it provides an easy platform 4 me to weigh ppl's intelligence....d concept of ppl arguing wit dates, facts n figures trips me n atimes I see some ppl argue so confidently n so passionately that I tell myself "he must work for me someday" lol



My days keep ending with this awkward "it could have been better" feeling, and I'm still not so clear as regards where it is coming from. But somehow, I think I know but I'll rather not just talk about it, not to self, not to anyone....it's just lying somewhere down there. I can assure u I'l dig it out soon

0700 - U know one of those days when u just feel like a special being, those days when u feel like ure God's Child of the day. I had that as I woke up this morning.

1000 - So ppl that got out of school without exeats n all I see are sad faces all over, apparently loads of heads r rollin dis time. Quite unfortunate!

U knw those moments when u seem to be the only happy one, moments when u rly wanna shout n scream for the joy u have within, but u cant show cos d ppl around u r nt smiling. It seems like that's how I feel right now.

Well, I have to give thanks to God for making me pass thru this weekend unhurt n unscratched, it's no joke!!! I really appreciate God.

1500 - Classes were bearable today, treating myself to a good meal of Eba n Egusi felt rewarding kinda.

1800 - I wake up to do the expected - SHAVE!!!!!! arggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh.......I hate clean shaves!!

1900 - it's the Arsenal hour of departure from the league of champions
wha started out as an Arsenal vs Barcelona encounter turned out to be an Arsenal vs Messi encounter!

I've got loads of things to talk about but I can't afford to spill em here....I might not like the after effect cos they r deep sturvs n I'm not d only one at stake!


***********~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~********************
Just 2 days ago, a couple of sincere observations came in as regards my blog n I think I need to effect some changes, edit some things.
1. I'm sorry 4 using ppl's names without permission. I'ld tryna use characters in d coming days
2. I'm sorry for the typos, m mostly too lazy to proofreader!!


I'm sorry for any other 'mis-doings' I don't just like to think when I'm writing. Thinking kinda kills sumtin, so it's mostly heart to paper 4 me.

So I'm back to the lobby, back to that life, but it seems like it's business unusual.

They think they can make it hot
But I doubt if I will fill the heat

How much good they mean
We shall tell in d coming days


How much evil they mean
We shall tell in d coming days


I wish they could move me
But I'm too made to be moved


All I see are the good days ahead
A-Z being launched
Clocking 21
Finishing finals in grand style
The closing TTG moments
The convocation awards
The convocation dinners
The final hour
The hooding event
The gown on me
The rice, the chicken
The drinks
The cheers, the jeers
The final goodbye




Word: Success answers to consistency; doing some things right and keeping at doing it.




And u know, what started as one annoying general assembly ended up being one of the best in a long time.
The session handled by a member of the board of regents was quite impactful.


Hearing someone talk about 20, 30, 40yrs actually makes me realise again that 5years is just but a short moment in time. It's an interesting world out there with relevant doors opening to those that have chosen to maintain relevance in their fields.

Hardwork will always pay off; Idleness is a destiny waster. Most of the flaws we make in life, most of the moments when we happen to be hopeless, do come when we r found doing nothing.


Lawyers r simply the most intelligent professionals in the world, they always make sense! This woman had great sturvs to dole out n the fact that she walked out of cancer just 6yrs ago n she's still standing just killed her talk!! Kidney transplant merely 6months back, still standing.....gives me the reassurance that this God is ever real n He will c me thru!

So d whole gist wit IBK was rly interesting.....nt had sum1 dat interesting n interested to talk to in a short while.

Waking up wit headache to know remember I was late 4 service cos I was up chattin wit a married babe felt funny, n I know IBK wil c dis now...so IBK, I'm running away 4rm u o, we'l b back as frnds wen u get d "babi" u promised.

Yaaaayyy!!! So Apuka liked my blog n a couple of persons hv bin likin my blog lately, m glad d audience is increasin.

So in my sticky-sweaty state I quickly sit down wit my laptop to tell d experiences of the d day b4 I get my shower n b4 I touch mum's yummy dinner.

Was up the in early hours of the day havin career talks wit dad n d talk left me with hope that he might have given up on his no-firstclass-no-masters policy, and well yea its looking more like m msc is confirmed; though he stil feels that shldnt b top on my mind (which isn't nyz) so I shld focus on my finals.

Great fun day! Excellent one I must say

Urghhh....I shld include pics of my day in this post, but I dnt have em yet.

Main catch of d day was ma hommie's mom's car was available for drives (my frnd cnt drive!!), so I set out to his house early n zooooooooom.....omo men, driving wit caution is expected on days lik this uno.
1. the owner of d car doesnt knw her son's home
2. her son doesnt drive
3. no money 4 emergency fixings incase of any yawa
But over-analysis leads to paralysis, so I discarded those thoughts n d journey was smooth.
Home-Opebi-Onikan(KFC, swe)-Lekki(GET Arena, Palms)-home.
errtin went on smoothly!

Go carting was madddddddddd fun, it was my first time of tryin it out n yaaaay me! I dusted Ehi, Lekan, Chidinma n some other same children lik dat...it felt good winning d race.

Another high moment for me was @ Palms when I was checkin out their bookstore. I stumbled on their Leke Alder stand n I didnt want to leave again o!!! That guy is awesome....high-quality speaks round his works; sha had a fun time scopin all d concepts for free. freeee o....wen books were ranging 8k upwards. lol

Well, great week for Chelsea..I'm so proud of my team!!! Priemership title, here we come!!

Momc's alrdy shoutin "Tolu!!! Tolu!!!!"....it feels gud 2 hv ppl beg u 2 eat free food. Otta sucks!

So I stumble on these words today again n its al I can think about. its all I can talk about. They strike me n leave wit me a lingering impression

"The sooner you recognize and ♥ your imperfection and the fact that you are,on your best day, a fatally flawed mortal, living day to day by the grace of GOD, the sooner you will be happy"

- Ife Funsho-Fatobi

This is all I wanna learn today

This is all I wanna tell today

Imperfections

They are littered all around us

So conspicuous

Yet we believe we can suppress em

In a moment of truth

It feels good 2 b reminded am not perfect

It feels good 2 know perfection is but a bubble

It offers me a platform

A platform to forgive self

To forgive and to forge ahead

Mortality

Flaws

Falls

Fails

Divinity

Grace

Hope

Life

God

Ife, this is a big one 4rm u...I wish I knew what led to the utterance of these deep thoughts cos these are not everyday words. I have faith u'l tell me sha n I'l tel u sumtn in return if u do...lol

Stil to come: In the coming days I plan to talk about the people in my life, hw our frndshps got to be, what has kept it going n why I cant seem to let go off some people.

I wish I cld delve into my emotional life tho...it wil make this blog a lot more interestin, bt I'm stil havin double thots abt it...so enjoy wats on ground 4 now.

FRANCHOME

Home: the haven of the brave!

My 11am class was frankly interesting, for the first time we jointly came to a conclusion that we r just excellent cramers that know little or nothing when it comes to applying knowledge. Chill o, they say "Wisdom is the application of knowledge" so those this mean myself n my classmates lack wisdom? Chai **shake my head**

I forgot to mention that the class started with a 1st test that looks like the man won't mark cos we obviously banged it.

1430 - I feel great getting home finally! Leaving school came cheap, CU gate me n d security woman were just looking at each other, I didn't have to tell a lie. Canaan gate....ermmm..."I'm on IT" she looks at my old ID card n goes "o ok..u can go"

Getting home, momsy wasn't home so my welcome home lunch was delayed a couple of hrs....yummy, yummmy!!

With a freshly married brother n another bachelor bro who have moved out of the house, home arrangement has changed a gain with loads of items cleared out, it's clear age has taken its fair toll on us all.

Opening my wardrobe I see an usual nylon bag, open em up to see the contents......behold my 1st John Francomb shirt n I go "awwwwwwww....I've always wanted U"

It happens to be a gift from my look-alike cousin who's studying in Malaysia; of which talking about look-alike, that dude is a photocopy, right from when we were kids he could pass anyday anytime as my twin bro n we grew up with greater resemblance. I remember yrs back, say 3yrs or so, we were in our hometown for the burial of the only grandparent I knew, my maternal grandmother, my mom confused him for me once and then we decided to start pranking other family members...it was ril fun uno. Sadly, we r nt rly close like that but whichever way it goes, I'm happy he's living good n he did put a smile on my face.

Concept: FRANCHOME comes from getting my first Francombs on my 1st day at Home.
