The 30 Day Challenge: Day 13- My Opinion About my Body and how Comfortable I am with it

My candid opinion? I think I am fabulous!

Being a plus size, I have always been self conscious about myself. I know I am beautiful, and people  tell me always that I have a great body. However, I think I will totally believe them if I can shed just a little bit of weight.

I like myself the way I am but honestly think and know the right thing to do. I have started going down a bit and believe me its’ not an easy task at all ( I can liken it to going down a mountain with stilettos). It’s that easy. To think that packing on the pounds is as easy as “ABC”.

Am I comfortable? My answer is no.

However, I will ask myself the question this challenge didn’t ask- Am I confident? My answer is YES!

The 30 Day Challenge: Day 12- Five Guys I find Attractive

Disclaimer

Because I find them attractive doesn’t mean anything. I just think they look “very nice” and if you happen to read this post and think otherwise, then I must say you are resting your back on okada.

Now to the post!

1.  Anthony O.
2. Odunayo B.
3. Kunle B.
4. Enobong I.
5. Damilola I. ( I couldn’t resist adding his name...)

By the way, Attractiveness- the degree to which a person's physical traits are regarded as aesthetically pleasing or beautiful- I just had to google it!

The 30 Day Challenge: Day 11 - My Family

I have the best family anyone can wish for.

From my dad right down to my baby brother, I love every one of them. We are closer than you will believe and still manage to live our individual lives. We stand by each other every time and God is the focal point in the tapestry of our lives.

A lot of people have told me that the love the unity of my family- we stand united always.

This is not to say that we are perfect, but that we try. Sometimes, I feel that they tend to “love too much”. At those points, I sincerely wish they didn’t have to and that they will just let me be. That never happens, and I get on with my life.

I come from a family of 10, and I thank God for making them a part of my world every single day!!!

The 30 Day Challenge: Day 9- How Important I think Education is

I think education is very important. It opens a lot of doors and creates pathways. it has a way of refining one's ideas and thoughts.

People may argue that it is not so important, and site examples of several business moguls who dropped out of school and are very successful. I agree, but I want to stress here that those people had to employ people who “finished” their education to manage their business and support their organization in different capacities. Imagine a world without bankers, accountants, financial analysts, lawyers, doctors, pharmacists, teachers and what have you…our ideas will be crude.

So the main man may not have had need for education, but he definitely needs the educated to make sound decisions with him.

The 30 Day Challenge- Day 8: What I ate Today

I initially had created this post on the 13th of March, and scheduled it for publishing by 5pm today. But I had a change of heart.

For breakfast, I had beans and plaintain, but i couldnt eat it because it had some particles. I ended up eating the plaintain and beef only.

For Lunch, I had butcher rice from spaghetti with meat balls and Chicken. Yes, it was delicious and i cleaned my plate :)

I haven’t had dinner yet and I doubt I will because I need my stomach to be flat (wink). However, if I am really hungry when I get home, I will either feast on mangoes or take a bowl of cereal. The latter sounds more fun though.

Hope you had a decent meal today?

The 30 Day Challenge: Day 7- Five Pet Peeves

Hmn…Should I be truthful? Or diplomatic? I guess I will stick with the truth…

I sincerely, honestly and totally hate it when people touch me. If you need to talk to me, don’t touch me, use your mouth to talk. If you have to grab my attention, call my name. or better still make noise, I will react well enough, just ask my sister. I seriously don’t understand why you have to touch. The other day, I went passed through Obalende on my way home. I was struggling to walk through the throng of people when someone grabbed my arm. I kept walking because I assumed it was the Ibo boys trying to advertise their wares. And the person kept tugging at my arm. I came to a halt instantly to harass the person. I faced him and he said “hi, don’t you remember me”? I couldn’t believe it. Do I know you? He said he had seen me sometimes last year and he wanted to get to know me then, but I told him off (he had the nerve to say maybe I was angry or something). So I asked him if that meant I knew him,  and he said he was hoping I’d tell him my name…(sorry dude, not in this life).

Another one is people spit on the floor. For the life of me, I can’t understand that one. Its seriously disgusting. Click here to read about a post on spitting.

I sincerely dislike it when people talk a lot and hardly make sense.  Seriously, I lose respect for people who “yarn”, especially if they are men.

Making noise in the office is something I doubt I will ever get used to. Its’ good to have this jovial air and familiarity in the office from time to time, but I sincerely hate noise in the office.  Probably because it slows me down a bit, I don’t know, but I just don’t like it at all.

I hate seeing under-age school children (2-10) on the streets all by themselves. You will think they are “surplus to requirement” in their homes. Parents should not neglect the important things in life and focus on getting all the money. What will happen after you have finally “hit it big” and you have no one to spend it on?

The 30 Day Challenge- My View on Mainstream Music

Thanks a lot to all who encouraged me (massive blog hug- well, now there’s something like that;) straight from my heart) to go ahead and complete the challenge. It really meant a lot to me. For those of you who didn’t know what it was about, here’s a picture of the 30 day challenge. Please feel free to embark on this interesting journey. (I hope I finish before you sha)

To be frank, I had to Google “mainstream music” to be sure I got it right. Wikipedia says it is “music denotes music that is familiar and nonthreatening to the masses, e.g. popular music, pop, rap, rock...”I will focus on the Nigerian Music as it is today.

I laughed when I saw the challenge - My views on Mainstream music- and I went "Views ke"? I am not sure I have a view jare, but I thought, why not? So here goes!

Frankly, I don’t know so many Nigerian songs…In fact listening to music is something I hardly do, and the few songs I have on my play list must be complaining to God by now because I put them on repeat ALL THE TIME. Anyway, back to the topic. Personally, I think some Nigerian artistes make a lot of noise. There are so many of them, and believe me, its good to follow your dreams every time, but just make sure you have a good producer and all that. There are also a lot of them that make sense in their songs. 

That said, I believe there are many fantastic songs too, one song I love so much even though I don’t know the meaning is “Ara” by Byrmo. The beat just gets me always... (now humming it in my head) and the funny thing is I only know the refrain.lol

Another song that trips me is “That Stupid song” by Bez and Praiz. I love love love it.

My view on mainstream music…ok

Happy Women's Day
