Manners Please!!!

Hi all, I hope you are all doing great and getting set to having a lovely weekend? I am so looking forward to this weekend. I need to have a lie in and just relax. As you all know, I was in London last week and had a fantastic time. Whenever, I am in London, I always meet someone I know from way back or from Uni. So this time around, I did not meet anyone I know however, this loud mouthed guy with permed hair came to me and started behaving like the most ignorant person from some cave. He was so arrogant and cocky and wanted everyone to look at him (Not that there was anything to look at). He said to me in the most arrogant way, if I recognised him. I had to hold myself and be polite to him. I said to him that I don't know him. He went into a fury (no jokes). He started describing himself, places and I said I am sorry I do not recognise you. Now I began to think. He may have seen me somewhere but that does not mean I know him. The annoying thing is that he was so cocky and arrogant, wanting attention and everyone to notice him. I just kept my cool.He started making it out that I was being snuby and pretending not to know him.

Why would I even want to know someone like that in the first place? Anyway, why would someone want to start denying people they know? I wanted to ask the guy whether he has been part of my life or contributed to it any any shape or form for me to know him. He is not a famous person so why should I know him? I felt really annoyed and just managed not to let the ignorant guy spoil my day.

Why couldn't the guy ask politely if it is possible that we may have met somewhere? What happened to manners? To be frank, I don't think I ever want to meet this guy again talk less of speaking to him. Some men should learn manners before talking to a lady. Maybe that is  how he talks to the women in his life but I found his mannerisms quite unacceptable. My self control took over and had we not been in public, I know I would have said something rude to him in my disgust in the manner he approached things.

Dont let anyone spoil your weekend. Have a lovely and blessed weekend and chat to you all soon.

Love always,

Rudness and Civility

Forums!!!!

One of my many pleasures is reading. I love reading anything informative. My dad got me into reading when I was young. I remember that he would come home with newspapers and give them to me to read and after reading, we both discussed the issues in the papers. I have got into the habit of reading forums, blogs and in fact  any thing with  information. Yesterday,I was reading the news about this footballer who killed someone about 6 years ago. He was found guilty and sentenced accordingly. I went to the forums to read what other people's thoughts were on the issue. I found the comments very interesting. Some of the comments were just on another scale. But some comments brought home some truths. Of course, there were some racist comments thrown in here and there but some valid points were made. Some of the comments which I will not print in this post were something else. It really got me thinking. There is still so much hate out there and I hope I never meet people filled with so much hatred that they cannot stand another human being. So this is still my message, love covers a multitude of sins. Love will make this world a better place!!! Show someone an act of kindness. A genuine smile is enough for some. I am determined to continue to be a blessing to others and show people the love that I have experienced. I am also determined not to allow little minds to change me from whom God has made me to be. Be positive and show love to someone today!!!
Much love from me,

The many ills of facebook

Sending love to you all

Hello all, I had a lovely weekend in London. I went for a friends wedding and it was one of the most beautiful weddings I have been to. The bride and groom looked fantastic and so in love. It was a long journey back home. When I got back home, I decided to check my mails and facebook among other things. I noticed that I had two friend requests. I opened the one that caught my attention because it had my name. My initial thought was that maybe this person invited me because we share the same name. Well, I am one of those people who do not accept people I do not know as friends on facebook. So I decided to check out the profile of this person to see if I know him/her. I opened the person's front page and nearly passed out. The profile had my picture on it!!! Alarm bells started going off my head. Why would someone want to impersonate me? I rang my sister to tell her of what I found out. My mind and head were just going full circle. Who would stoop so low to impersonate another person? I thought people normally impersonate super stars or famous people but to impersonate me????? I could not understand or get my head around it.The shocking thing was this person had the audacity to invite me to be his/her friend. I thought of deleting my profile and coming out of facebook entirely. I wanted to warn friends to be careful of someone impersonating me... I just had a lot going on in my head.

I started to think who would be so wicked to do such a thing. Is it someone that has an issue with me or a member of my family (Which is definitely the case)? What is this sick person's plan? What does he/she want to achieve by trying to be me? Then I started to think and make a profile of this sick person in my head and the picture I saw was that of a person who needs the love of God in their lives. I mean, Why envy me? What I have and have achieved, I have done so through Hard work and God's blessings. Who I am today and where I am is by the special grace of God. There is absolutely no need to be jealous or envious of me. If you want what I have, work hard for your own and be close to God. If you are envious of who God has made me, why not draw closer to God. I mean, how can someone be so idle to be impersonating others at this day and age where people are being innovative, looking for cures for diseases, looking for solutions to the many ills in the world. How can someone not be busy with their own lives and want to be another person? The whole incident left me speechless!!!

To my impersonator, I forgive you for being so low and ignorant. Please do not use your own hand to bring destruction into your own life. I serve a God who is a consuming FIRE. God is my daddy, defender, fighter and JUSTICE!!! If you have a problem with me, deal with it. I don't want to know what your problem is with me but please, stay the hell away from me!!! I don't want to disturb my baba God with petite nonsense because your impersonating me is petite!!! My advise to you, give your life to Christ and live your OWN life!!! One love and peace to everyone!!!!

What is with the weather????

What is with the weather? I thought we were in for a hot sunny summer but the weather has rather been quite miserable. It has been raining all week!!! And why do we care so much about the weather? I have observed that whenever I am speaking with friends on the phone, they always ask me how the weather is where I am. That is actually quite funny because in Nigeria, no one really asks you how the weather is. I have also noticed that there seems to be quite an obsession with the weather here. If it is sunny, we all feel great and on top of the world and if it is raining we all feel blue. But an important and interesting aspect that I have observed is that the weather does not stop people from carrying on with their lives. Everybody,carries on as normal. So, as long as the rain does not touch my lovely hair that I just made, I am OK. Have a wonderful day and God bless!!!

No Ramblings Today!!!

Today is such a great day!!! For the fact that I am alive and have my loved ones around me, I am grateful to God. I am all charged and ready to start the day. I am really looking forward to finishing my studies and moving on to other great, interesting and exciting stuff. I am already dreaming of what I want to do and where I want to be. It is great to dream. I remember that I have always had big dreams since I was a little child. When people asked me then what I wanted to be or do in life and I'd tell them, they'd laugh at me and say to me "you are a dreamer" or "stop living in a world of fantasy". But look at me now!!! All those dreams I had when I was younger have come to pass!!! I have achieved them all with God's love, hard work, perseverance and determination!!! To God be the glory!!!!

I am still dreaming and aiming high. I will never give up till I get there. So today, my word of encouragement is NEVER EVER give up your dreams. Keep working hard to achieve them. As long as your dreams are in line with God's will, God will perfect them all for you in due course. Keep your head high and go for it. No one says it will be an easy journey but boy at the end; you'd pat yourself and say well done!!! I did it!!

Have a blessed day

Living Life on Purpose: Discovering God's Best for Your Life

Beautiful day + ramblings!!!!

Woke up this morning to the sound of pouring rain. Not again I murmured to myself. Where did the sunshine go to? Well, I am at my desk right now looking out to a beautiful sunny day. Makes me feel like jumping and dancing. There is something about the sun that just lifts my spirit up. Talking about feeling good about myself, I have been really happy these few days. My hormones are settled and I am back to my happy self. There are so many things I am happy and thankful to God for. They are so many that I don't know where to start!!!! I wouldn't want to be anyone but myself. I am so content in who I am and what I have. I praise God for my loved ones and my friends. Some friends I don't really keep in touch with but I know if ever I need someone to talk to, they are there for me. I appreciate all the love I have around me and promise to show love to all around me.

On the other hand, I have stopped caring about what haters say about me or what they think about me. They are not worth giving the thought of day to. I really dislike patronising people who con their way into your life only to get information so as to use against you. I know and can smell them but I pretend that I have no clue what they are on about just to make them feel they are smart. Some people really hate the air that one breathes but pretend to have the best intention when all they want is to see one fall and fail. I'd rather haters kept their distance than try and pretend they want to be friends with me. I just cant stand such people in my life.

I will make mistakes but at least I am bold and brave enough to try. I might fall but I never stay down. I get up, dust myself and move on with life. I will keep trying, keep moving and keep conquering till I get to where God has planned for me. I am happy and very bold to say that God has made me the happiest person in the world. No one can take God's sunshine away from my life. One with God is with majority. Quality and not quantity counts!!! Enough of my ramblings and back to my uni work!!!

Hugs,

Lily

Stress and Hormones!!!!!

I was all emotional last week and I did not understand why I was being so duh!!!! I was just not nice at all. One moment I am the happiest bird in the world and the next I am at my desk at work crying my eyes out.  I did not want to speak to anyone and if anyone just said the wrong thing to me I would have jumped on them lol!!! I was wondering what was going on with me. Why is my emotion all over the place?I came to the conclusion that my emotion was all over the place because of my hormones lol (Good excuse right)? I believe work related stress contributed to it. Anyway, I am back to my normal cheery happy self now. I am going about my business as usual and will be exercising to help deal with stress. Wishing you a stress free day.


Have a lovely day!!!

Removal of foot corn!!!

I just took at look at my feet and just couldn't believe how disfigured they are. I have very long feet and that makes it very difficult for me to find shoes that fit properly. The shoes made for long feet are so uncomfortable and the most annoying thing is that I have got painful corns on my feet from wearing these ill fitted shoes. Maybe there is a niche in the market and I have to fill that gap!!! So all you ladies with long feet do I hear you say ride on sis?????

Concerning my painful foot corns, I have googled on the net to see how I can remove these corns. I have bought corn removers and plasters to ameliorate the pain and discomfort. It scares me that I will not be able to wear my sexy high heeled shoes. I really want to be able to wear nice sexy shoes this summer and paint my toe nails but I guess I can't till I get rid of all the painful corns. I need advice on how to remove painful corns without having to go see my GP. Also, ladies with long feet, do you have problems with foot corns caused by ill fitting shoes? Your views are highly appreciated.

Have a fab week,

Lots of love,

Weekend splash!!!!

I am finally feeling great. I have analysed and dealt with my worries over my work load. I think I needed some time to get a grip of the massive work load I had. I cannot do anything about it but to dust my feet up and get on with my work. Those who know me know that I am not a quitter!!!! So, with the help of God, I am going to climb this hill and get to the top. I hope to relax this weekend and not burn myself out with work as I usually do. I already started my weekend yesterday. I went to the theatre to watch Spamalot!!! It was hilarious!!! I will truely recommend it to anyone who wants to have a laugh and nothing serious at the theatres. I wish you all a very happy weekend.

It is Monday!!!

I am back at Uni today and just feel absolutely tired and down. I am not in the mood to reply to any emails or to speak to anyone. I just wonder whether I am the only person that just gets really frustrated and angry with my progress. I hope I can make some progress this week. I want to finish this thesis and move on with life. I have been grumpy all week and just don't know why I am so down. I have some pretty good stuff planned for the week so maybe that will cheer me up. What do you do to lift yourself when you feel down? Have a wonderful week. God bless.
