EAVESDROPPING.

Hey there, sorry for not posting for a long time am really sorry, just that I've been very busy with stuffs, that's what we call it when we don't want to go into details. Am on twitter by the way and here is my handle, @call_me_debbie.
I love hanging out alone sometimes, it helps clear my head, if you haven't tried it before you should, goto somewhere no body knows or will distract you, sit and think please no negative thoughts, I was sitting by my self sipping my bottle of sprite, you know how it is when you are on your own not trying to listen to someone's conversation, but at the end you find yourself eavesdropping, I wasn't even trying, a girl was forced to breakup with her boyfriend because of circumstances, like she didn't want to but she had to, her reasons or the two lovers reasons were, I just couldn't help countering each one in my head :

AGE MATES ; does it matter? Our society has created this whole notion that as a lady you must marry a guy older that you with at least two years, but I still ask does it matter? This problem has destroyed so many relationships, just because they felt it won't work because the girl is same age with them or older than them.
FINANCE; This I can understand to an extent that it does affect a relationship, nobody wants to go into marriage without financial security.
I WONT BE READY WHEN YOU ARE; I know it does take a while before guys are ready for marriage, majority actually, but I have seen and heard about guys who marry early and doing very well, so am not a 100% with this answer.
FAMILY WONT AGREE: Getting the blessings of your family is really important, but does it have to control your happiness, does it have to dictate who you can or can't marry, so many people ended up not been with the love of their lives because of silly reasons given by their families, am not suggesting going against them but there are times you do need to put them in their place.
AM NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU; Are you the one to dictate what's good and not good enough for me? This reason I sincerely do hate the most, like let me decide, let me make my own decisions don't make them for me
Listening to her complains, I ached to go to her and advice her not to throw away her happiness just because of silly reasons today, that she might regret tomorrow, it may seem like the best decision now, it might actually end up been the best decision she ever made, who knows? But her happiness should be her main priority.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

Over 6ft tall, dark, handsome, God-fearing, six packs, good dentition, caring, loving, nice and friendly to me but rude to other girls, yes almost every girl has a list like this, I just gave you a glimpse into my mental checklist of my kind of perfect guy, don't call me a dreamer because am not, the God I serve will definitely do it for me, forgerrit he does wonders yeah. Having a mental checklist has blinded some girls to the extent they forget to ask very important questions at the beginning of a relationship, Mr Tall, dark and Handsome, your fine face cannot deceive me, I cover my eyes with the blood of Jesus AMEN, I ask you questions, you answer, call me a detective, or inquisitive, yes I accept it all, it's for my own good, and yours too, we won't want problems,

"What's your Genotype? "

God heals the sick raise the dead, but he also said do not tempt the lord your God, you are AS am AS let's not tempt the almighty God bikonu, I can't be running from one church to the other looking for miracles when it can be avoided.

"Where you born a man or a woman?"

Yes, I need to know this, this one that everywhere you look, you seeing transgenders, sexy men, and Handsome ladies, I have the right to know who am getting married to, so Mr Emmanuel, where you at any point in time known as Emmanuella? 

"Christian, Muslim, atheist, pagan or anywhere belle face?

This is important, so I don't use my prayers to spoil your own, and you don't use your own to spoil my own, there's nothing wrong for a Christian to marry from any other denomination, but I'd rather we pray to one God, after all a family that pays together, stays together

"Do you have a child? One or two or three or four?"

I would like to decide for myself if I want to be a step mother or not, no imposing,tell me upfront if am okay with it, fine, if am not, to your tent Oh ISRAEL!!!

"What if I run my mouth too much, will you correct my brain with slaps? "

Is it an habit? Have you done it before? You have anger issues or???  Will my face be redesigned from its original design?? I am too fragile for this please

"Can you cook?"

Please before anybody starts attacking me, there are men who cook, baby if you don't, be willing to learn, for the sake of the nights of indomies, or bread and suya, that I will be too tired to cook

"What's your view on cheating? If it's okay to you, can I also cheat too?"

Asking all these questions and more doesn't guarantee a good relationship or marriage but it's better to ask than to keep mute about it. It's  hard to predict if a relationship or marriage will last the test of time or dissolve like sat in water.


Add your questions to the list.

LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT

Love at first sight simply doesn't exist, you can not tell me you fell in love with me the very first time you saw me, it doesn't work that way sweetie, you don't know me, you don't know if am crazy, you don't know the kind of baggages I come with so I simply won't accept it.
I'd agree more with you if you said you were attracted to me the first time you saw me, it might have been the way I walked, the way I talked, the way I behaved, I would believe you and even take an interest in you.
Saying I love you on the first date just isn't it for me, don't expect it from me, I might like you but love on the first date no, when I hear my friends say am heads over heels in love after the first date, I am like please my dear next time don't wear heels if you can't handle it, wear flats instead, so you don't trip and fall. I do believe in love don't get me wrong, but I just don't believe in love at first sight, if I ask you when you knew you were in love with me, and you answer me with the love at first sight line, I am so not going to believe you its that simple.

This is my opinion on love at first sight, I would love to know yours.

SOME DAYS, I BREAK!!!

Human beings are emotionally strong at different level, we all have how best we handle emotional pain or trauma, some spend a day, some it takes months, some years, we all have our different ways we handle it.
Each passing day, you see me smiling, laughing not because I don't have pains or within me I am settled, you see me that way, because I have found out, that it is best to smile, raise your head up and say everything is fine, when someone asks you, I know a problem shared is half solved, but it's also a new topic for gossip, I have been burned so I know how best to keep my problems and walk around with a smile.
Some days I won't remember, some days, it is like am walking with all the problems in the world on my shoulders, but yet I find the strength to get up, dress up and show up, but yet some days I break, I feel the pang of the pain I have been holding inside for long, gnawing at the flesh on my chest seeking for a way of escape, all I can do is curl up into a ball at an extreme corner and cry, what else do I have to do other than to cry, if am fortunate for one hour, sometimes through out the night, it's not my wish for me to break but because am human, made of flesh and blood, with raging feelings emanating from work stress, school stress, family stress, relationship stress, breaking down means I can pick my self up and try again and again till I attain the level of balance I desire.
All I am saying is it is okay and normal to break down, but what is not okay is giving up and staying at that level, pick up your emotions, rearrange them appropriately and try again, keep trying. Our hearts is one fascinating organ, it goes through so much pain but yet bounces back again and again.

SHALLOW THINKERS

Have you ever argued with somebody, and you were like WOW such ignorance. I don't like arguing, I prefer giving you reasons to make you see reason with me, if I succeed fine, if I don't no problem, I keep wondering where some people get the strength to argue on and on and on without getting tired, I just can't no no, I simply do not have time for that, once I discover your level of reasoning is low I just stop immediately, I wouldn't want to start exchanging words so other people won't think I have lost my senses.

I recently had the opportunity to work with a graduate of petroleum engineering for three months, and me been me like to get to know people, I talked with him, said jokes, one day I was like I would love to visit Dubai and stay in one of their hotels even if it's just for a night, to spoil myself a little, and the next thing I heard from the guy was that let me use my cap locks "ALL LADIES WHO LODGE IN HOTELS ARE PROSTITUTES" I was shocked, dumbfounded to say the least, I tried explaining to him that, the hotel industry was made to satisfy the needs of both sexes making available shelter, food and other things, I gave an instance of what if his wife had an appointment in another city, she doesn't know anybody, no friends no relations, where would she stay, he said he would look for someone or his friends even male, for her to spend the night or she would forfeit the appointment, at that point I rested my case, because it was obvious arguing with him won't change anything but will only succeed in making me look like an idiot.

In a nutshell what he meant was that any female whoever you are, where ever you are as long as you've lodged in a hotel at any point, you a prostitute.

I find people that think this low appalling, I term them SHALLOW THINKERS, what they know is correct, what you know is wrong, you just have to agree with what they know, simple as A B C, you argue at your own risk, do nott even bother, when you notice someone with this disease because it is a disease just keep mute, or he or she would classify you as the Shallow thinker.

FAKE FRIENDS

Real friends are hard to find, that will have your back, through the good times and the bad times, come sun come rain,fake friends are everywhere  they pretend they truly care about you and your problems so you can trust, but when given the opportunity, will stab you on you back without thinking twice them.

 I made a mistake of seeing a fake friend as a real one cost me my relationship. I met her when I got into the university, the very first day, I was young and naive, I had no friend, she came in a few weeks before me, so she knew most places already, she helped me through out the clearance period, since she had done her's, over time we became close, we would talk about anything and everything, I felt like I've found the sister I never had, I just started dating a guy, everything was going smoothly and fine, then we had a quarrel, I ran to her(sophie) and complained to her, she comforted me, told me what to do, the issue in my relationship was resolved.
Fast forward six months, I observed that my boyfriend who wouldn't go a day without talking to me, no longer calls or texts I complained to Sophie and she told me to ignore him and move on from the relationship, it was unlike her to tell me to give up on something that meant a lot to me, I ignored her advice and tried talking with my boyfriend to know what was wrong, finally he opened up to me that, he's been hearing so many things about me, how I didn't love him, and wasn't serious about him, and he is in love with another, I felt hurt and wanted to run to my friend Sophie, because at that moment she was the only one that could comfort me, I just had to ask him who told him all that, he told me Sophie, and that she was the best thing that has happened to him, and he was grateful to her for exposing the real person I was to him, the pain I felt from hearing she was the one who betrayed me was greater than what I was feeling initially, this was someone I considered my sister, took her home, introduced to my family, I regretted the day I met her.

Today I dailed your number.

Each passing day, I crave to hear your voice, your laughter, feel your touch, and see your smile, but each day that passes I realize how far you are from me, if I had my way, you'd still be in my arms, not miles away from me, it wasn't my wish to give up on us but yours, against my wish I agreed because you can't force anyone to be with you no matter how much you want them to stay, crying and wishing that a miracle might happen that will change their mind, the thought of you been in another's arm kills me slowly, but then again you'd be happy with them and that I can live with, because your happiness matters more to me.
Was I not good enough? Was I not worth fighting for? Was my love not sufficient for you? My questions remains unanswered, seeing other people happy with their loved ones hurts, not feeling that tight feeling in my stomach I felt each time I saw you, I miss it. I miss crying and falling asleep in your arms it was my most favorite thing in the world,knowing in your arms am safe, in your arms nothing could touch me, I never knew the true meaning of pain till you walked out on me leaving me no choice, each passing day I pray for time to go faster so I could sleep cause that's the only time I am at ease.
Today I dialed your number to check on you, to hear you say you miss me, but couldn't press the call button, sometimes I do this  upto 30 times in a day, but today I dialed your number for the last time, because I realized I no longer mean anything to you.

TGIF!!!!

WOOHOOOOOOOO it Friday BABY, it's my most important day of the week, the day to relieve the stress, forget your worries( my worries actually) , let down your hair and shake your bum bum, I get to hang out with my girls, check out hot guys, have a few drinks okay maybe more than few drinks, I deserve it after all I've being through this week, I sure do deserve it, if you haven't made plans for the weekend, just go with the flow and thank God its Friday, a friend of mine is in town and we are going to shake our bum bums, what are your plans for the weekend???

MY ANTI-BUCKET LIST!!!

 We are all familiar with the concept of the bucket list, the list of dreams, goals, aspirations, it has gone viral in a couple of years, but this is an anti-bucket list my own anti-bucket list, the things I don't want to do or I have done and won't ever want to do again because life is too short to repeat what doesn't work for you. Having an anti-bucket list removes unnecessary pressure.

1. Swim in the ocean, I am not doing it, am too scared of sharks to even consider it and by the way I can't swim.
2. Go skydiving NEVER!!! I have phobia for heights, not doing it, not even thinking about it.
3. Go mountain climbing, my fear of heights also covers this one.
4. Run a race, I broke my leg the last time I did, I am not doing it again EVER.
5. Get over my love for cakes, it's not happening, not now, not tomorrow, never happening.
6.  Don't want to be a spy, don't you watch spy movies, they loose their love ones, I ain't ready to loose anyone of my annoying brothers yet, so NO thank you.
7. I will never disregard my parents advice again, they are right 99.9% of the time. 
8. You betrayed my trust, you not getting it back don't bother trying booboo.
9. Never going to force anybody to be with me, its not just right and it's not happening. 
10. Repair any electrical appliance myself, Electricity is not meant to be tampered with by amateurs like me.
11. Never going to stop loving Justin Bieber and one direction.
