So Far, So ...

I've been inconsistent lately and i apologize for that. A lot happened during the short period of been away from here, as you know life goes on.

GOOD:

• I had the BIG CHOP last week, not necessarily because I’m following a trend but my hair was shamefully uneven and it was literally an embarrassment that I could bear no more. Honestly, I had no ounce of regret even as the guy in the salon picked up his clippers to start the shaving process; rather I felt elated because I know it is a good change.
 

 

Forgive the pout; it just had to be did  done

•  NYSC November batch is calling urgently and Edo state is the place. I had mixed feelings when got the call-up but I knew deep down that some drama was going to go down. On getting home, mum asked and I gave her the news. The dialogue went thus: 

MUM: Why did u come back late from school, ehn?

 ME: I had to wait for my statement of result to be signed and it took so long.

MUM: Ok, so where did they post you to?

ME: Ma                                    

MUM: Where did they post you to, now?

ME: Edo state, Ma.

MUM: Ah! You’re not going oh.

ME: Why would I not go, when the date of deployment has been fixed?

MUM: What happened to Lagos?

ME: You should be thankful o, what of those that were posted to Nassarawa and Bayelsa. Besides I’m not the only one from my school.

MUM: How many are you?

ME: I know of five.

(SILENCE)

ME: Anyway, all I know is that come Tuesday I’m on my way to Edo.

MUM: So have you eaten?

ME: No, I’m not hungry. (Forming hunger strike)

MUM: Eat a little now, ehn?

ME: I’ll eat later. Not now

So after a while she gave it a thought and she went like;

MUM: Edo is not really far o. You’re like five from your school that you know of abi?

ME: yes Ma.

MUM: ok! Give me a list of all what you need.

Even as she kept asking the other question I was satisfied that she agreed finally.

•  I took driving lessons not long ago. Manual is not a small issue o, the clutch and its kata-kata. Automatic is just the business.
• I continued further on my sewing projects...pictures soon to come.

BAD:

• The only headphone in the house that makes sense has gone wrong. Gadgets are not to be trusted, they sometimes disappoint you.#word

Beats gone wrong

UGLY:

•    MRS BASHIRU: I said it earlier that I took driving lessons. On this fateful day, my dad was not around and it was getting dark so I decided to drive the car .As I swerved the corner to avoid near danger I bashed a woman’s stall and caused a scene in the market. I was so shock and embarrassed that I sat down in the car for close to two minutes. Nothing broke and nobody got injured the car wasn’t even scratched after hitting the iron stand. It was a miracle of some sort. I was given the “MRS BASHIRU” name by himself. 

Till later lurvies™. More news to come hopefully from camp...Ahoy

Have a lovely day/week/month.
