whaddup people?!!!
gosh, it's been one hell of a week end and week.
i've turned to an 'ajala' in my own right. it all started when i decided to dawn all consequences and travel all the way to my home state far north for my ma's thanksgiving. Now, this journey took 24 hrs. Wasnt at all sure i cud go cos i was unwell for most of last week . it took just a matter of minutes however for me to change ma mind, as i thot to maself, if i broke down completely, work wud still go on without me and i wont even be missed. Wat the hell, i packed a light bag thursday nite and brought it with me to work on friday , and jived str8 to board a nite bus. Been a while since i felt this gud wit maself cos i damned all, left ma desk and off i was and boy did i feel good!!
Back in the ''U.S of A'' like i like to call ma country home, it was sheer bliss. first thing i did was head for the kitchen and indulge. (e don tay wey person see food boku like dat) and as it was a big occassion, there were varieties. the thanksgiving itself was beautiful as i saw lots and lots of people whom i hadnt seen in a while and the camaradie btw these people made it all the more beautiful.
Living in a place like lagos, one tends to take a lot of things for granted , people are to0 be used and once done, u dump them until the next time u need to get something else done. but it was a different ball game (its always been any way), back here. People are ur greatest assets. the simplicity with which life is lived and more so without pretext is just wat's lacking in our more urbane societies. Ur neighbours, familiy, friends all got ur back and rally round u for watever thing ur involved in. My ma was shown so much luv as cooler after cooler loads of food , snacks, drinks and souvenirs found their way into ma home on the morning of the thanksgiving and from church, the no of people who trooped to the house showed just how much my ma had a supporters club in place .
to think i'm back at work after forgetting for 3 straight days that there was such a thing as a work place.
Godwas definately on ma side as i didnt have the necessary clearance to enable me leave work in the first instance to travel. Dropped off ma application and was off only to come back (having been a day late) and no mention was made of wat i'd done. infact, i'd call it a miracle as Mr. Talk-the-talk chose that time to travel as well so i didnt get to fall in to his trap. Anoda interesting part of the trip is the bit about me having to be stranded in the capital city....
more gist bout that 2moro.
