I feel like I say this almost every time I come on here, but Oh well!, I loovvee writing. I actually don’t think I could get tired of it except when I'm—unfortunately—stuck in a writer’s block. I started “writing” a year or so into secondary school and though there have been highs and lows, it’s been love a major part of the way all the way. I would be writing about journaling today, sure the post title has given that away already.    I remember my Sis having a diary at some point and I observed that she updated it regularly. I on the other hand used to suck at keeping a diary—I still suck a bit— basically because I don’t like people stumbling upon my stuff forget I have a journal at times. Lol. Years passed, stuff happened along the way and I felt the need to write my random thoughts and life happenings just for records sakes. I then begun keeping journals—“journals” because I write random things in various books and I must confess it can be hard finding snippe...

HELLO-O-O-O!!!! In past weeks (a month plus) that I've been away which I apologize for, quite a number of things have happened and lessons learnt. From learning to cope with temperaments of varying kinds to accepting that there are certain things that are meant to happen no matter how hard I may try to change them, it has been a blog break that revealed these and many more to me. Honestly, aside school work and pressure pushing me into a blog break, I slid into a little blog rot, that moment when I you actually put pen to paper but the ink doesn't flow. Yes, I suffered that too. But as the pressure is being relieved, it feels like I'm getting my buzz back. I have learnt and am still learning to trust regardless the "apparent circumstances". Any-hoo!! Exams are due to finish soon and I'd be back to blogging  and I dare say I'd be around for more than a while--by His Grace-- and hopefully be more diligent with my updates. This is just a post to remind you my...

Hey people!! Been quite a while but I'm here again with my somewhat random thoughts. I believe you'd enjoy this piece as you take time to read through though it's rather short.   Many a times, things happen and within that moment, you wonder why they take that form. You see them as happening to your demerit but indeed they might be acting in your favor.    Events like these occur daily, in every waking moment of ours. But hardly do we recognize them until the counter occurs and then, you realize it all was for your good at the start. It is said, in all things and under every circumstance, give thanks to God. That is to say, when it looks bad, when the going is great, when things are still, when life moves at a speed beyond what you phantomed... In all these, give thanks.    As i often say and have seen play out more often than not, there's always something to be thankful for in all situations, you just have to clean your lenses and train your eyes to id...

    Forever young,     I want to be forever young. .... Thus goes the line of a certain song, but unfortunately or otherwise, we can't really the young forever. As far as I know, humans, living things generally are susceptible to change and that includes uhm aging (it's only God that's ageless). I remember how people used to make so much fuss when their 18th years came knocking and I wondered what the hell the fuss was about. I just saw that age–18– as any other regular age when I was younger and even now that I'm there, I'm afraid I still feel same. First off, I'm not one that thinks some birthdays are more important than others, I see every year lived as a reason to be thankful. I don't think one has to wait till certain ages before making or recording some notable achievements.    So, I discovered the whole fuss with 18 was basically the "legalness" of the age, one would be free to do certain things that age had long restricted. To me though,...

     Hello world!! (Echoes). I'm back from my unannounced hiatus. I just needed to go off for a while, from exams to projects and life generally. Oh well!! I'm back– for the meantime. Whilst I was away, I didn't forget all about this place and y'all –as usual. I realized however, how impersonal my articles/posts on here have been and for a change, I'm going to attempt giving you a peek into a portion of my life aside my thoughts and musings I post here regularly. Here it goes:    Pardon me if this post ends up being not as personal as you might have thought, I'm not used to that style of writing. This post is essentially me giving you insight to what has kept me away for like two, three months now..... AKA School.    So, late last year, I got in to study what I for a somewhat major part of my life have been yearning to. Hold up, this post was initially meant to give an insight to my experience this past semester in the school of Architecture. Bu...

Hey! Hey!! Hey!!! Been quite a while I've been here. Hmmmpph!!! I've been stretched beyond elastic limits these past months. Lol. So, the word SCAR has been in my thoughts for quite a while and i just had to write about it. SPOILER ALERT: it's rather short.    Life is hardly ever easy. There are and would almost always be events, things, happenings that turn to torturous memories. There would be events that would leave cuts, gashes and scars as a reminder of the experience and lessons learnt. Scars add beauty to our lives (pardon the paradox). Look beyond the cuts, see the healing process, appreciate the scars.    Just as engravings beautify pottery, scars beautify our years on earth. They add content to the years, the scars frame us. They shape and mold our experiences. They mark us to make us. Don't hide the scars. Appreciate them. They tell the story of your journey cos at times, falling apart is falling in place. Til' next time, 'Mina.

   Some time late last year, December to be precise, I stumbled upon this book. I had seen it two months earlier at a rather inopportune time to read it. So, I flipped through the pages, read the opinions others had about the book—those that usually lie within the first pages of the book. TBH, I picked the book to chase sleep away, it worked. That was how I began to read “ THE SOCIETY ” by MICHAEL PALMER . As it usually goes,let me give you an overview of the book. OVERVIEW    THE SOCIETY revolves essentially around the health/medical sector of the USA. It is set mainly in Boston, copyrighted 2004. There's Doctor Will Grant, a surgeon and father of two who misses the days of “raw” medical practice. Days when patients could get the attention that was required as soon as needed without the doctor having to go through and sign so much paperwork. Or go back and forth with the HMOs (Health Management Organizations) in order to broker “fair deals”. Days when pati...
