Take This Change, I'm Moving ...



One ecolach and two sacks,just the same way I came,I'm leaving, going back to where I came from. I'm I happy? Is my heart leaping and shouting "mission accomplished"? Well,I knew this day would come but I never thought it would be this soon,I didn't prepare for this,I didn't resign like I did at my former work place because of this 'green ticket' job. I was fired or redeployed due to the recession,like my boss -now former boss,would put it. 

I'm I crying as I write this? No. Have I taken the time to cry since the 'emergency' news bumped into my ears? No. But I have mourned,maybe I've grown such that I wouldn't cry unnecessarily,yes,that should explain why my tear glands failed to produce their fluids. But my brain has been doing super story piano for two days now. Hmmmm.

When people tell us about having a plan B,they ain't joking dear,they ain't playing around with your thinking powers. In fact they love you,they love your future. Right now I'm packing my make up stuff,I've packed all other things,the prevalent thought in my head right now is SCHOOL. When I say SCHOOL I'm so serious because I've been a climber,fast climber,my next step in career is always a 'next big thing',so I can't settle for less right now. I need an upgrade to face what's in store. So my next big step is UPGRADING. All professional exams I applied for,I'm fixing my thoughts and remaining resources on them. 

This is my plan B. If I start job hunting again,if I get another job,I won't let it stop me and trust me I won't let any body call the shots on when I need to go, no, no management can do that to me again, ever.
So I'm leaving with these lessons;
-time isn't waiting for anybody not even myself
-your goal must supercede 'the agency's goals',Don't shoot yourself in the leg dear,just don't
-that thing you've always called 'my next big step of faith', sweety take it, -now
-stay focused(I learnt this one from a good friend I met in this environment)
So,this is it,I'm moving.

The New Birthday Cake


Go for studio shoots,be philanthropic, take selfies,eat bole' and fish with friends,just do anything that comes from your heart.These are the new birthday cakes.
One thing I know about cakes is its magic of bringing persons together with everyone smiling. Its not because everyone will eat cake,No. Cakes just binds us together in looove!(pardon me I looove cakes). Well there's this new trend that has taken our hearts off the physical or literal cake thing. When we hear its your birthday, when you stat posting "birthday loading or birthday things on my mind",we no longer think of cakes,we just want to hear your agenda to know if we can fit in.
Are you going to Dubai to shout "today is my birthday and I haff come",are you taking us to the prisons to help organise a prison break?(oops that one slipped out,sorry).Or we ar going for a birthday photo shoot -this one is beautiful and I like the concept. Anything,just choose a concept,we are here to follow even if cake no dey(I'm speaking for your friends).
So bottom line is enjoy yourself with whatever budget you have if its only cake money you have,please Don't buy cake,I like the photo shoot concept. And these days those photographers can be sooo goood! Yes,I'll say welcome because you will thank me later when you have memorable hard copy photos of yourself and loved ones,you won't even remember whether you had a cake or if na tom-tom you share da year.
