The Writeventures of Emaleecious

In 2010, I was downsized by Oceanic Bank. They called it the "Oceanic Tsunami". It was a very big blow. I had  worked with them for almost 2 years, and I can tell you by myself that I worked hard. But somehow, my name was on that "black list". I honestly can't explain how I felt, because I still don't understand my feeling at that point. In a cloud, I cried because I felt that I had somehow I had "failed". How do you explain the fact that it was just 2 of us in a whole branch? I really felt bad because I knew how long it took me to get the job. (omo, no be small tin ooo), and then overnight, poof, the job developed wings and flew away. I just told God to deal with it. (thank God for family and friends- that's another story by the way) Exactly one month after that, I got another job. This week, I heard that a second Tsunami had occurred. I know a lot of people who got affected, and I may understand a bit of what it is they are going through...

Source   Do you sometimes catch yourself telling a lie? Like you just blurt it and wish you had just zipped your mouth instead? What do you do then, when the lie is out? Pop it back into your mouth?

So, a lie (white, red, purple, green-whatever colour you chose to use to coat it-) is still a lie. I went visiting with a friend. The house we went to was untidy and very dusty, and I remember saying "your house is lovely", when my head was screaming, clean up already. WHY did I lie? I could have just shut my mouth, but I "had" to comment as it was my first time there. I probably felt it the "right" thing to do. You do it sometimes too, when you tell someone you like her hair, when you really don't. Or when you tell that hot chic "I love your dress...

Its been a while... I got a push from Olamsy   to blog today, and I promised him I would try to put something up about today, even though I really didn't feel like it. Today was very interesting from different perspectives. Love I saw enough bbm updates today as DP's and DS's, mostly from the girls and it was so sweet (wink). My friend, Osaore, tried to make me put up my boo's picture but I told her I wouldn't because He didn't put up my own picture as well. Before you judge me, I know I shouldn't have waited to see my picture, but I really didn't feel like. And I don't believe in doing things just because. Even the married one's were not left out in displaying their love publicly, and that to me was very nice. I love my boo and I ain't ashamed to say it. (wink). He actually came to my office to drop off my gifts. I was soooo shy (lol) especially as my gift to him wasn't ready yet. When we hugged, he whispered the words...
