New phone old me.

 Hello lovely,


This is how they greet you, with a big smile on their faces — then go behind and report you to the manager. If you know, you know; if you don’t, you don’t. Don’t ask me any further, I might get a query tomorrow morning.


Today was another beautiful day for me. I intend to make every day of this month memorable, and I’m so intentional about it — bad energy stay far away. So yeah, after work today, I came home, spent a few minutes making a list of things I needed to buy, and proceeded to the supermarket. I planned to cook beans, had to make sure I bought everything required… even though I forgot red oil because I thought I had enough at home.

When I got back from the market/town, I didn’t waste much time. I started cooking while I was on a long call with my Big Sister. She’s my gist partner — sometimes we can talk for hours. I’m a good cook. In fact, I’m not a cook — I’m a Chef. But people find it hard to believe, and I’m not ready to convince anyone. The ones who have tasted my food can attest to this. I can cook white rice, Indomie, yam, spaghetti, custard … the list is endless. Just that sometimes, you might taste salt with a sprinkle of rice. *evilGrin.

Not gonna lie, the beans I cooked today was fire — I wish you could have a taste. *tongueOut

Can I ask you a question?

I ordered a new phone a few weeks ago, it was taking longer than I expected to be delivered. Now and then, I kept tracking it to see how soon it would arrive cause my patience was growing weary. I was anticipating the new phone so much — daydreaming about the videos and pictures I’d take with the camera, imagining the moment I’d finally trash my old phone because it’s really pissing me off now. I’ve had that phone for a long time and it’s long overdue for a replacement.

Fortunately, my new phone got delivered today. I opened the box and it was everything I dreamed of. Guess what? That was the end of it. I’ve left it in the pack and I no longer feel the thrill. This has happened to me a couple of times. I get so excited when something new is coming, but as soon as I have it, it just becomes… basic. Maybe I’m in love with the chase more than the thing itself.

Anyway, I’ve left the new phone somewhere in the drawer. Just know that whenever you see me uploading nice pictures, that’s a sign that I’ve finally brought it out.

I remember nostalgia made me buy a PSP a few months ago. I was so happy waiting for delivery. As soon as it arrived, I played one game and the thrill was gone.


Do you feel that way as well?


Meanwhile, I know someone who is the opposite. She gets something new today and she’s testing it instantly. Zero chill pill. I hope she’s not reading this. If she does, will she beat me? Or are you part of the zero-patience gang as well? *rollEyes




Alright, that’s all about my day. Catch you all tomorrow.


Make it a December to Remember, lovely!

Build systems

  Welcome to my December blog Day 26, A lot has been written about 2023; virtually everyone wants to have a better year. 2023, I want to do this; 2023, I want to achieve that; 2023, I'll get this; 2023, I must be in this position — Great! Aspiring is good; it's good to have visions for next year. Moreover, you need to build a system. Your goals and aspirations are what you need to achieve. Building a system is the how. Here's what I'm trying to say: I was with one of my kid sisters yesterday, and I watched her talk passionately about her business dreams for 2023. After listening, I knew she had a great vision, but the How was missing . Can I further explain using one of my 2023 goals? Goal (what): to read a minimum of 24 books. System (how): A year has 12 months. To read 24 books, I must finish two books in a month — one book in two weeks.  If in two weeks I can't finish a book, I must double it up the following week to meet up the task. Hello,  If your goal is t...

Together under this weather.

Did you remember the new phone I told you about a few days ago? Yeah? Well, I got back from work today and told myself, I didn’t buy this phone to become a shelf king. Why keep it and not use it? I’d been too lazy to transfer my data because I assumed it would be a long, stressful process. I hardly change phones — in the last 10 years, this would be my third phone. I don’t like changing phones for any reason, which is why I always think long-term whenever I buy one. Anyway, to cut the long story short, I asked ChatGPT how to transfer my data from the old phone to the new one. Apparently, it was a very simple process. I followed the steps exactly as they were laid out, and in a few minutes my 250GB of data began transferring. Since it was going to take hours, I took the opportunity to clean the entire house and do some laundry. Still transferring… so I jumped into the car, went shopping, came back home, had my dinner, and shortly after — everything had been transferred. I went straig...

It’s getting lonely now.

 Hmmmmmm For the first time in many years, the idea of building my family is truly appealing to me. The wife of my youth, my little ones-to-be, my sanctuary, and my heart’s work—all of it is starting to make sense now. I’ve always shied away from any conversation about family; not because I don’t want one, but because I feel I’m not ready. There’s so much I need to put in order, and I feel far from the goals I’ve set for myself. I remember one of my mentors calling me a few months ago to ask about my plans for raising a family. I quickly told him I wasn’t ready—and in truth, I wasn’t. But will I ever be? Today, I went Christmas shopping. Everyone in the store seemed to have their wives and kids with them, picking out what they needed for the holidays. The place was buzzing with excitement—kids choosing their favorite toys, husbands and wives looking at decorations, laughter and chatter filling the air. Looking at it all—the atmosphere, the moment, the feeling—something stirred ...
