Hi y'all,
Whats up? I really want to apologise for the delay in sending this week's blog. Had a lot to do and it kinda skipped my mind but you all didnt.
So my week was ok (i say ok becos it wasn't great). I thot i would have a week after my exams to relax before school starts but i was very wrong. I only had one day off which i partly spent making my friend's hair (sadly, we didnt get round to making mine) and the next day, i headed to the place i'm doing my placement. It was cool but i spent the whole day reading things i didnt understand and was just so glad when the clock struck 5pm. The next day was even the worse. It was drizzling a bit and to catch the 8:10 bus, i had to walk really fast. So i swapped my heels for my pomps and started moving. I stepped on a stone that wasn't well placed and water came from beneath and splashed all over me. My legs began freezing as i had on a normal lenght skirt with no stockings on. Upon getting to the bus stop, the bus was just pulling out and so i decided to head to the 8:20 bus stop. It suddenly began to snow (wet snow) and because the wind was so bad, my umbrella broke and i had to put it away. My hair was getting wet and i just started crying. How could my day go so horribly wrong but i trusted God that the rest of the day will be cool and it was.
My workplace is cool and this chick from school whom i'm working with is ok but i'm not feeling her. The office staff gave us a lot of stuff to read and the chick gets down to writing stuff and i'm like 'what is there to write?' then i ask her what she is writing and she says she doesn't even understand what she is doing. I just started laughing in my mind but the next day, not to feel left out, i just started copying out the whole stuff from the files (u know kinda of look serious) and at one point, i even started writing a book...lol. I dread going back there but i have to for 8weeks and guess what? i'm getting £20 per week. I know the amount sounds pathetic but guess the number of shoes i could buy from that money (just kidding). Anyway, i've asked them to give me the money at the end of the 8weeks.
So this term, my workload has grown times two and i'm not finding it funny. My friends are all having it easy. They dont even have lectures, nor exams. They just write essays and i keep wondering if i changed my career path too soon. Oh well, i'm trusting God as He sent me here and so He would not disappoint me. Well, all these work at school amongst other things have been weighing me down and my friends have started noticing. One even told me that i'm getting moody by the day and that i'm not as smily and happy as i used to be anymore. I know he is right because i have even lost the zeal to make fun of people. But i know i will be fine and i dont know when. I just hope it wont be too late.
So hollywood lost another talented actor (Heath Ledger). It was a really sad period for me. I get sad when someone dies and even worse when that someone is young and well known. Anyway, my prayer for the family is that God should comfort them at this low point in their life. I will really miss Heath.
Well, after all these things happening in my life, i know that God will put a song in my mouth very soon and y'all will hear my testimony soon. Have a good day and enjoy the rest of the week. God bless.
Ciao!

I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!
Alright people click your heels together and show me the money 'cos innocent sweet Eke is back!!!!
Hi y'all,
whats been happening? First of all i want to apologise for the long silence... i know i missed you all too. I know i even went offline but trust me, it was for my own good. I was weighed down with exams and me being me, i had to study...u know daddy spent some good money and i have to utilise the opportunity. Oh well, lets get started here.
Happy New year y'all and welcome into 2008...a year of good beginnings! If you have been beleiving God for a lot of things, this is the year. Can someone please say Amen!... whoo...good to be back.
Ok so christmas was good...actually very beautiful. It was a full house with no parents around. I had my sister, brothers, friend and my brother's girlfriend (who is so great and i should call her and say hi). Christmas day was great. We all woke up and had morning devotion after which everyone went doing what they wanted to do. Not me, i went to get the kitchen clean as i had to start christmas lunch. We made rice (jollof and fried), roasted a whole chicken (took forever but the stuffing was great), made cake, dodo, salad etc. By the time we settled down to eat, the time was about 3pm. The table was beautiful and we took pictures which i cant get a hold of now but as soon as i do, y'all be getting a taste of how christmas was for me.
It was so good to be with family and i must say, i was missing them so much that i became ill...had a terrible cold, lost my voice and couldnt really do my solo very well (i'm in the choir). But it was all good. Mom was around for the new year and we had that mother and daughter talk again...if you know what i mean? and dad called to wish us well. Needless to say, i'm very hopeful this year and have decided to put my whole trust in God. Well, we had fun spending time as a family and my friend felt right at home (she couldnt stop complimenting my family and how much she loved my mom...well, i know the feeling, she is my mom u know?). She is also ibibio and so she felt right at home with the kpong,kpong language...lol.
London was so nice but i got bored and plus i wasnt able to read for the duration that i was there (10 days) but at least i had fun with the family and no, i didnt watch any film that had Jesus and His disciples speaking yoruba! It was beautiful all the way. I came back to school and started forcing myself to read but when crunch time came, nobody told me to read, i was reading like crazy. Awele was so worried that she even sent a mail to ask if i was ok (i'm sure she really wanted to ask what was happening with the blogs...see, she misses the blogs more than she misses me...lol). There was a lot of sales around and y'all know me and shoes! i bought loads and i must admit, i'm ashamed of myself but who cares, they are shoes and i have lovely feets to go with them (wish i could say the same for my body, my choir leader and pastor says i had so much fun over the holidays so i'm taking drastic measures...getting a lipo!).
Ok people, it's so glad to be back and i want to thank you all for being patient with me. Dara, it was so nice to see u again (i hope u enjoy all them things u bought) just remember to come naked next time and then u can start clothing yourself from the airport...lol. Seun honey, i'll see u, Ebele and Bimpe very soon...will let y'all know when. Nkem, thank you very much for everything and please note, that wasn't my mom. Alright, i'm out. I want to hit the shops and see how many good shoes i can get for a £1 (Seun, get it?). Take care y'all and happy new year once again.
I love you all.
Ciao!
PS: I was kidding about the Lipo...just getting down to regular dieting and exercise (wish me luck).

WHITE CHRISTMAS
' I am dreaming of a white christmas... may your days be merry and bright and may all your christmases be white'
A lot of you would remember this song and some of you probably havent heard the song. This song is the one song that actually keeps christmas alive in me. Why? If most of you are 'normal' as i am, you would realise that you lost that tingly christmas feeling a long time ago. As a young girl, i always looked forward to the christmas season because 1.School's out, 2. Two new dresses (one for christmas and one for new year...came with shoes as well), 3. Christmas goat and chicken, (back then it was a luxury) 4. Holiday TV etc. However, over the years as i grew older, i discovered all these things didnt fascinate me anymore. I mean i buy clothes and shoes every other day, goat meat and chicken is no longer a luxury ( i can eat it anytime i want...infact, it is part of my staple diet), school's out but you still gotta read for exams in january and tv programmes and stations (dont know about LTV tho') have improved since i was a little girl which means i watch tv every now and then. Some of you who are working know that you dont actually get time off to spend christmas. You stop work on the 24th and resume on the 27th... what sort of life is that? I will say that the whole time i was working in IPML, i didnt spend new year with my family and that is because they stay in Uyo and i had to be back in Lagos before the 27th and it was hectic and dangerous ( Oh well, that is a phase in my live that i do not want to re-live anymore). When i listen to the song above, i close my eyes and imagine i'm this little girl without any care in the world, in a new dress, singing christmas carol in church, eating rice with chicken and just having a ball... wake up and get back to work!
So i have been feeling better after the suicidal week i had (two weeks ago). I have learnt to accept that some things happen for a reason and you just have to pray and ask God to show you how you can overcome that situation and move on. I have also learnt that we cannot actually control the way we want our lives to turn out so i have handed my life to God so he can contyrol it for me. I want to thank some of you who actually sent an email because you were concerned ( i really appreciate). I pray God will bless you and grant your heart's desire... Amen.
The past week was very interesting. First of all, i had an assignment that was due on friday and i had to stay up all night to do it. Had two cups of cofee and by the next day, i was feeling so sick but i still had to go to the library to finish it up and by the time i got home, i was so knackered and went straight to bed! what a day! I'm a bit better this week but i still have an assignment from my cute Statistrics lecturer that i have to give in on friday. It's unfortunate that it is assessed as a pass or fail because i'm trying to prove a theory that a lecturer's looks can affect the performance of a student... oh well. Still, i'm looking forward to doing the assignment.
Church was really nice yesterday. The choir is really improving. I led praise and worship and was really impressed with our performance in the special number. God is really working wonders in our midst and this is great. I cant wait for saturday when we will have another practice and sunday when the Lord will use us to bless His people. I also cant wait for the holidays as i'll be going to London to spend christmas with my family...cool init? there is so much to look forward to in this life so i am going to be happy and continue to praise God because of his love for me.
Ok people, i gotta go. Skills class beckons. Have a really good day and love live because it is precious. I love you all and i'm happy you are my friends ( hope you feel the same way).
Ciao!
