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.

KNOW YOUR WORTH!!!

Dear girls.
I heard you like bad boys. Those guys who act like they
don't care about you,which makes you try harder to make
them like you. Those guys who wouldn't reply to your texts
until later on,which makes you wait around & miss him
more. Those guys who act distant from you,which makes
you try harder to get their attention. Those guys who know
they can get a lot of girls,which makes you more afraid to
lose them. Those guys who would show you they're
interested one day then act different the next day,which
makes you too confused to make the decision to leave him.
Those guys who will make you fall for them but they can
care less,which makes you stuck & not being able to move
on cause you care too much. Has anyone ever told you you
deserve better than that? You probably have & you know
what? It's about time you realize that... If a guy likes
you,he'll meet you halfway. Simple as that. Don't settle for a
bad boy when you deserve a good man.

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.

Why Programmes Are Repeated On Pay-TV

Around the world, pay-TV audiences sometimes complain about programme re-runs, preferring to be served fresh content every time. Legitimate preference. But it is the nature of pay-TV that programmes are re-run. In an era of 24-hour programming, multichannel and multimedia broadcast, it is impossible not to repeat TV content. 

A major reason is that costs associated with pay-TV content are so huge that subscribers will be unable to pay if fresh content were to be served every time. Content, it bears repeating, is acquired by pay-TV companies at very huge costs from the producers and owners. It also costs a king's ransom to produce. 

For a pay-TV company to continually show fresh content, the cost has to be borne by somebody: the subscriber. 
Movie content, for example, is produced in huge quantities by movie industries worldwide, with Hollywood, Nollywood and Bollywood accounting for the greatest number of productions. Movie content, or any content for that matter, takes time to produce. Movies, in particular, are often first shown in cinemas before  being broadcast on other platforms, through which producers earn additional income.

Content owners, like the big TV networks, allow their content to be distributed by pay-TV companies only of successful exposing them on other platforms like the Cinemas,  video on demand (like the DStv BoxOffice) and DVD. This strategy is financially viable only when enough episodes of a television programme are produced to make the series valuable to distributors through syndication.

The re-run system, particularly as it supports syndication, has become the economic foundation on which the TV industry does business. Deficit from production can only be recouped if the programmes goes into syndication. It is only when a programme is sold into syndication that the profits to owners are likely to be huge and sufficient to pay off the cost of financing of original original productions and to support the development of other programmes. The entire system is dependent on a sufficient market for re-run programmes, a market composed of independent television stations,  international television systems and on an economical means of reproduction. 
Without re-runs, pay-TV companies will have to buy tonnes of content to keep up with the demand of fresh content. Can they afford to pay? Certainly not. Is there enough time to produce enough programmes to fill the 24/7 requirements of modern television? Very unlikely.

Re-runs and repeats are not used merely to ease production schedules and cut costs. They are also a product of contractual agreements between content owners and pay-TV companies. During contractual negotiations, content owners often demand from pay-TV companies that their content be broadcast, say 10 times, at peak viewing periods and less frequently at other times. This means that the control over how many times TV content is shown is shared with the owners and not pay-TV companies, which are merely content vendors. Movie content producers specify the number of times their films are shown when negotiating with pay-TV companies. Going against such agreements will certainly spell breach of contract. 

It will also put a defaulting  pay-TV company in the bad books of a content creator. And if a top-notch content creator withholds its content from the pay-TV company, the latter is at a big risk of losing subscribers.

Aside from this, programme re-runs are actually necessary for TV because one person's repeat is another person's chance to watch. Since occupational and social demands make it impossible for everyone to watch TV at the same time, programme re-runs afford those unable to watch at a certain time the opportunity of catching up on their favourite content. They also serve the purpose of those who may want to want to re- watch.

 Even in these days of video-on-demand (VOD) services and Value Added Services like DSTV Catch-up,  repeated content still has its place. Not everyone uses VOD or DSTV Catch-Up, meaning that many have to depend on re-runs to watch their favourite content if they are not available when it is first broadcast.

 And for kids' programming, research has shown that repetition has positive implications for education by providing optimal comprehensibility and audience retention.

In the early days of television, most programming was live. This required the continuous production of new programmes which, once aired, were gone. Certain program formats, such as variety, talk, public affairs, quiz, sports, and drama were dominant on the airwaves. With the exception of variety and drama, each of these formats is inexpensive to produce, therefore the creation of live weekly or daily episodes worked well for broadcasters. Television at the time was not a 24 hour event. 
But the nature of television like everything else has changed. The financial and logistical demands for twenty four hour programming has made program re- runs unavoidable.

BROKEN REMOTE!!!

I totally love when someone who use to make you do anything just because they ask, suddenly appear in your life and expect things to be the same, noooooo, that boat has sailed and it's gone forever, they feel because they say jump, you ask how high, or they need something, you go out of your way just to make them happy, they can leave and come back when they want or when they like. Some people seriously need to know that they are in past, and they should stay there, not coming back hoping to mess up the perfect world you've created for yourself.
I had a friend then, who when in trouble calls on me, I didn't care about the time, place I was always running to solve, to render help in anyway possible way, he got into financial trouble I helped out, sacrificed every dime I had to my name just to make sure he was happy and okay, I needed his help, I didn't even see his break light, he avoided my calls, my texts, pretended I wasn't in trouble fast forward two years, everybody moved on with their lives, one day I got a message on Facebook from him that he needed a huge sum of money and was in a fix, and that I was the only one he could rely on, I was so ooo tempted to laugh and send him on his way, but instead I calmly told him I didn't have such a money, and he gave me the shock of my life, when he suggested I borrowed on his behalf, that the girl he used to know would do anything for him, I just had to remind him that, the so called girl is in the past, and she is not coming back
Most times we wonder why people treat us the way they do, it's because we let them, we give them the chance to do it, if someone think they have the remote to control you into doing things they won't do for you DESTROY that remote, or better still take them and leave them in the past, you don't need such toxic people in your life.

WEB OF CONFUSION

My phone rang, no caller ID, I have this long standing rules of not picking up calls with no caller ID, but that day, I did, The sound of your HELLO!! Did magical things to me, all this while I thought I was strong enough to boldly say I am over you, been there done that or good riddance to bad rubbish, the sound of your voice made me forget the thousand promises I had made to friends, I am never going to talk to him, I will never feel anything for him, I am so over him, he doesn't move me anymore, I was scared of the effect a simple Hello did to me, letting down all my defenses I said Hello too, I know the way you sound when you are tired happy, sad, confused, crying and trying to hide it, I think love does this weird thing of making you notice tiny little things about the one you love, you sounded broken, I miss you, I regret letting you go, God is punishing me for leaving you with the kind of girl I am with now, I wanted to drag you close and comfort you, but then I remembered how I cried, begged you not to go, I wanted to start singing for joy, because KARMA was doing wonders for me, but No your unhappiness was still my unhappiness, all I could do was offer words of encouragement and relationship advise, you begged for me to come back, I am tempted to, but I wasn't  ready to share a man with anyone, I wasn't ready to be the reason someone's relationship broke up, just the same way mine did , I missed you and wanted you in my arms again but common sense stops me from been dragged into your Web of confusion.
