Ambition...



Everyone has the ability to dream big, but the steps you take, the sacrifices you are willing to make, the risks you don't mind taking, the pleasure you don't mind loosing, the insults/bad critics you don't mind receiving, the good critics you ensure to put in good use into achieving those dreams is what makes you ambitious.

It's just not enough to say "oh yes, I wanna be this or that". If you are not working towards it, every dream is useless.

Still on the "oleku" trend , I designed and made this. No one told me working with chiffon wasn't child's play (sigh), I dealt with it though, showed it I was here to stay..lol..the drop shoulder wasn't exactly the design of the blouse but great designs come from unplanned mistakes right (talk about ambition *wink*)

Get up today and start working towards achieving your dreams.

New beginning....

First dress I ever made....I finally decided to do something about my passion...I have always had this huge passion for designing and making clothes plus I hate tailors and their disappointments..lol. (Who doesn't).... I'm not exactly a fashion freak, but I do believe everyone is entitled to looking good. I really just wanna dress people and see how glam people look in my dress.

I started after I left uni instead of staying home doing nothing. I started learning with a local tailor...OMG, he is the best...he is not a literate but he is really good at what he is doing and the very first week I started, he made me make a dress and he told me I was goin to make a dress every week, I was so scared, I was like "WHAT!!!!! I don't even have any knowledge on sewing, I don't even know the basics, I just have the passion" but he really made it easy for me.

Thank God for the Oleku trend 😁....it was the easiest thing to start with but I didn't want the exact same colors for the "iro and buba", so I mixed it up by using different colors of the same material.

And thanks to my sister and my friend , who helped modeling it right 😁😁😁😁

20.......21

The journey from 20 to 21 is by far the most interesting in my life...I'm nt yet 21, I'm not even freaked to be 21...I'm so not psyched about it....in all sincerity,I wanna be 20 all over. The journey from December, 29 2011 till this very moment has been the very best of my life. Funny, it didn't even start great but I swear I've had many more surprises than have had in my entire life..surprises from myself, from friends, parents, siblings, strangers....it's been crazy. But first, it won't have been possible if God wasn't by my side, I wanna thank God for His infinite mercies, even when I wasn't worthy of them, He did not let go. Thank You Lord.

I finally dropped the baggage called "fake friends". I met this amazing babe, amazing doesn't even start to describe her. Words are not enough to describe or tell you about her. She's one of the best things that has ever happened to me. God definitely had the best for me in mind when He brought her into my life....(don't start thinking I'm a lesbian o..I'm straighter than a ruler 😉). Yes, Ada, I'm talking about you.

I made life-changing decisions. Yes!!!!!! I finally started sewing..it's been good so far (will start putting pics up here) . I graduated with a Second Class Upper Degree in Information Technology...I'm now a Bsc. Holder...(I have arrived)..wouldn't even go into the story of how close I was to a first class. I went for service..that one is another story entirely... I met the most amazing awesome set of people....

I would just keep going on and on if I start narrating every amazing, invaluable memory I have of being 20..I'm just really happy that I'm a work in progress, that I'm not stagnant, that I'm making impact on people's lives as much as they are making in mine......on and on and on...lol

If I were to make a wish right now, I would wish I was 20 all over again, do the same things all over again, maybe a couple of corrections here and there.

Most of all,I'm grateful to God for where I am now and I'm sure He's got even better plans for me ahead....

The Irony Of Me

I don't like attention but I hate when I'm not getting it
I don't want to be with anyone asides you but i cant do without flirting
I don't want to act without thinking but I am always spontaneous
I don't want to not spend my life with you but he seems to be sharing ma heart with you
I hate going through unnecessary pain but i can't do without my six foot heels
I don't give a rat's ass about anybody's opinion of me but i want to know wat they say behind my back
I hate relationships but i don't want to be single
I hate galfriends but i cant do without them
I hate being short but i really love my stature
I don't want to have fences around my heart but i hate being soft
I don't want to be referred to as selfish but i put myself first (most tyms)
I hate being a loner but i would rather be by myself

.......

I look like a "bad" gal but I'm really just a saint......

Diary Of An Intern

Here I am filling my logbook by dubbing from anoda person's logbook...I'm so tired of getting up at 4:30am, tired of rushing out of the house by 5:40am (when m early enof) to join d staff bus that leaves at 6am, I'm tired of not having time for myself, I'm tired of looking for something coperate to wear every morning (I'm not d coperate type,I'm more of a jeans/skimpy skirts person), I'm tired of having to plaster a smile on my face at work so they don't think i'm rude, I'm tired of having to pretend I'm scared of ma boss cos in truth i dont give a fuck, I'm tired of not being able to stare at my BB all day, I'm tired of not being able to sing along with ma phone when i've got earpiece on, I'm tired of working with old people, they are so demanding, I'm tired of having to laugh at dry jokes cos I have no choice, I'm tired of pretending i enjoy the silly errands I do 4 them, I'm tired of learning nothing, I'm tired of flirting with the old men that feel they r still young, or the married one who jst wants to tap ma ass, y'all are boring mahn, accept d fact that ur tym as gone, I'm tired of being so nice, I'm tired of having to wear make up everyday, I'm tired of getting home late, I'm tired of loosing weight all in the name of work, I'm tired of having to come up with various excuses just to miss a day of work, I'm tired of wearing strings everyday so pant-line don't show, i love ma knickers mahn, I'm tired of complaining.......

In all sincerity, this thing called IT should be scrapped...like WTH, I would rather be in sch, read all d books, prepare for exam and stab classes as much as i want than be ere.......I'm so tired!!!!!!
