The Path We Chose III

Hakim: I met this new person just today through a friend. Jackie, she said her name was. It was funny how we were introduced. We just had no option but to chat. Cause the friends we came with left us to hang out. For a moment, it looked like a set-up. And for a while, all we did was look at each other's face and smile. Until it began to get weird. But Jackie is the smart type, she realized I wasn't much of a talker so she decided to do the talking whilst I listened and waited for my comment, as and when necessary. We covered every topic. Including dating, career goals, family, culture, sex, movies, series, music, fashion, gadgets, makeups, animation, future goals etc. I got her number afterwards, and in fact, we had nothing more to talk about. We just did revision on the topics we've already discussed that interested us. She was so particular about my type of girl. I guess I skipped the part I went to see her off at her place. And she didn't want me to leave. She went ahead to lock her door and placed the key in back pocket, daring me to come get it. I thought she was kidding until it was 2hours to 12am. I managed to pin her down in one corner and begun tickling her all over to get her to give up. And before I knew it, her tongue was up in my mouth. Just then, I knew it was time to leave.

The Path We Chose II

Glenda: Ridiculous, how this may sound but I was very certain we were headed towards this path all along. I was clueless, as to how we would, but deep within my guts, I knew. I could see it from the way you looked at me at times. That sweet, soft, unstable look with a pinch of shyness, sauced up with a partial smile. That smile really gets me everytime though, especially when I'm pissed with you. Anyways, that's only one aspect. Another one is, the way you sugar-coat your voice when I always call up unexpectedly. Believe me, when I say, I can feel your smile pierce right through me on the phone. It's just so infectious. Never stop doing that. And another one is, when you doing something and you call up and you don't wanna cut the line unless you through with it. Especially when you cooking stew on a Satutday morning or baking meat pie on a Sunday evening. And sometimes when we have nothing saying, we just be on the line and be laughing in turns. Smh!!!. We've surely come a long way.

The Path We Chose

Glenn: The path we chose to take was never a complicated one yet it turned out so. Prolly, we were headed towards this direction right from the on-set. But all we did, was to convince ourselves things would get better, while we stuck to the same old practices. Every good thing has an end, so nothing surely last forever. All I did was hope this very thing we shared would last. Nevertheless, I put in mind everything happens for a reason as well. Preparing myself for any possibility of us going our seperate ways. Cause you were no more stable. And I couldn't tell what you really wanted but it was very clear the focus had shifted from me. I'm happy we've come this far anyway, cause you've opened my eyes to many possibilities in this life of ours, of which I'm grateful for. A day with you, was always a better time spent. No doubt about that.

Everyone Has Got Potential III

Ruby: Someone just asked me if it's by-force to engage in something beneficial aside work. Even God, gave us the choice to choose between heaven or hell. So, you know, it always boils down to choice. But one thing I have noticed is, people with extra knowledge always make extra cash here and there. And that extra cash maybe more than their monthly salary. It could be some special dishes you can cook that people would require your expertise during special occasions. It could also be your extra knowledge on autocad, photoshop, video editing, counselling, coaching, choreography, stageplay, instruments, spokenword, music, savings, investments, gadgets, vehicles, comedy, script- writing, catering, pre-technical skills, hair-dressing, manicure. It's not too late if you have no knowledge about anything. Just download tutorials on anything of your interest from YouTube and start from there. One step at a time.

Everyone Has Got Potential II

Trump: I'm sure by now you've discovered this little aspect of you. That is, knowing what you are good at. It's basically anything you do without stress. There's got to be something you do with so much ease. It's necessary you have a hobby or you involve yourself in any beneficial activity aside your work. You could be good at playing instruments or singing. Improve upon that by learning more songs and doing more practice to enhance your abilities. Let someone take a nice video of you in the process and be uploading them on youtube. You'll never know what may come off it. If it's writing, you are into. Let someone help by creating a blog for you. Then be sharing your posts on different platforms as facebook, twitter, whatsapp groups etc. All I'm trying to say is, engage in something productive aside your work. And that may bring about your breakthrough.

Everyone Has Got Potential

Xerxes: One thing that I have noticed over the years is that you don't have to be a genius before you can create something. What is most important is your time dedication, in other words; commitment. You just don't give up at the start, cause you wouldn't get nothing done, if you keep quitting at the initial stage. But one basic thing is to find something you love, or switch what you doing into something you love to do. Which would make it interesting for you to continue at any leisure time you get. And also you should love to read. Not necessarily reading in general, but that is also good though. Most importantly, reading into what you wanna do is what builds your interest. Cause, then, you would realise it's scope and what it really entails. Just don't try to do anything big at the start cause that would certainly kill your interest. Start with anything small that you love to do. I just don't want to give examples cause it would favour some and not all those reading. But, in order, for you to get an idea of what I'm talking about, lemme narrow it down to my field of interest. Let's say you wanna create something as a computer science student but you hate coding. Knowing very well you don't have a choice cause every job you want to apply for entails a little knowledge in coding. All you have to do is, go online. Download interesting basic things you can develop through extremely simple coding. Maybe you are more interested in games. So download videos on creating simple basic games that wouldn't require much coding and start from there. As you go along, you would be getting better and better in android programming in general. And in 5years time, you would be among the top ten. Everyone has got potential.

A demon in my Room IV

A demon in my Room III

Edd: God forgive me for the sin I didn't intend on committing. "The soul is willing but the flesh is weak". The very line every sinner uses and I'm even tired of hearing it myself. But God, You know I haven't done anything yet physically, but in my mind, I have done worse, and it's still on-going. And that's the reason for this prayer. Just after the prayer, Mary called me. Asking me if I was in the room. I was very certain if she came to meet Casandra it wouldn't be a nice scene. Not that we were dating, but the way I'm into her, I just didn't want her having a certain perception about me. Cause I knew Casandra very well and how she's capable of making people believe something that isn't so. Anyways, before I could even reply Mary, she was already knocking on my door. Immediately, Casandra shouted, please who is it?. I did tell her to shut up and sit up cause I didn't want the one at the door to think otherwise and who knows who might be at the door. But she gave me the "You don't tell me what to do" look. So I told her to at least lemme know the next time before she comes. She laughed, So that you would fake not being around as you always do?, she replied. That was when I realized it was gon be a long day ahead. To be continued!

A demon in my Room II

Diana: At that juncture, I realized the advantage of memorising scripture. I started praying in my head; God if you save me once again I will start memorising scripture like crazy. Yet even if I'm short of verses from the Bible, there is one particular one I could never forget. I quote, "For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places", Ephesians 6:12. But the next verse was what I was looking for. There and then, I found my phone on the floor. I quickly opened to verse 13, "Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Abrupty, I heard a knock on my door. I asked who was it but no one replied, so I headed towards the door. Few seconds after, I saw the demon in my room flee. It looked as if a demon of a higher rank had been tasked to finish in a few minutes what the previous demon felt hesitant to. I went back to my bed, blasting in tongues based on the verse I just read. I heard another knock on the door, I shouted, "Give me 1 minute". After a moment, I stood up and I felt heavy. I knew I was ready, I asked again who it was just to be sure, yet no response. I opened up and there he was. I bypassed him to look further if anyone else was there, but there was no one else. I told him, I won't buy a watch today so he left. Yes, it was a watch seller. I went inside my room, and went back to watching my movie. I forgot a few minutes ago I was energised in the Spirit. That's what many of us do, after we win one battle, we relax thinking that is all. Forgetting that when a demon is defeated, it goes to call several demons stronger than itself to attack us again. Don't lose your focus.

A demon in my Room

Diana: I saw a demon in my room last night. It was just sitting down comfortably, as if it was waiting for an instruction to execute. It wasn't disturbed at all by it's surroundings, it looked as if it was embedded in it's thoughts. I have never seen a demon, to talk of it looking troubled. But there and then, I realized the duty given it was beyond it's capabilities. It knew very well no excuse it would try to give would save it from the punishment that awaited it if it did not deliver as assigned. All of a sudden, it stood up and decided to at least try something. I could see it was gathering all momentum, vim and vigor. That was when I realized I was at risk. All along, I was so caught up in the moment that it felt as if I was in a 3D cinema. To only come to the realization it was actually happening. I also began to search for my phone to open my Bible app. Don't judge me already, I do my quiet time often but the memory verses don't really stick in my head. So I couldn't remember most of the memory verses off head. And for some funny reason, I couldn't find my phone. Lol!!!. To be continued.

No Touching Bae II

Sam: Since we are sharing what we've put up with over the months, lemme also share mine. First of all, I don't like it when we agree on something and you don't come through. Hold on and lemme make my point. First, it started with our movie night on Friday which you gave the venue and time yourself but on that day something came up. And you didn't bother to leave a message. Also, you asked me to be your dancing partner in your rehearsal team of which I agreed, and you sounded happy about it. Only to realize, you were still asking others as well after I've agreed. And that just put me off but I just overlooked it. Another thing is your laughter and loudness when speaking with me. You claim its part of you and that you can't seem to change. And about me not touching you, I won't do that again, I would prefer you also don't.

No Touching Bae

Eve: Sam, please I would prefer that you wouldn't touch me again. Cause you hurt me every time you do. If you didn't know, now you do. I don't like the way you mash up my breast as if they are oranges. And I don't even know why I put up with it. Secondly, I would also prefer that you don't use certain words when communicating with me. This isn't the first time I'm saying this. And this is even what brought about this whole issue. I was thinking you would change over the months but you just seem to stick with it. And I don't fancy that and you know it. I have noticed you don't really seem to care how I feel, you always put your feelings first. You do what you are pleased with, as and when you feel like, with me in the middle of it. Now I know for sure you are not ready to change so please keep your distance.
