Count down to my Big Thirty!

Approximately 5 days to my BIG 30! 

I'm scared

However I'm HAPPY and feel so fulfilled with life and all my experiences this far... It's just a BIG old mixed feeling!

I really have no regrets whatsoever in life. Every experience I have had has been for a great course...

Just want to take out this time to thank GOD for seeing me through life this far! 

And giving me more than I desire

And surrounding me with nothing but BLESSINGS and GOOD people that I sometimes think I don't deserve.

Why am I so EMOTIONAL right now..

I guess it's that thirty FEVER!!!

Let the count down begin!!!!!!

BALANCE

Hey hey hey! Longest time..How has everyone been? I missed you all..and I know a lot of you missed me too..*winks*
I am going to start by saying happy new year..happy valentines day...and happy to easter. I hope everyone is on track or in the process of getting on track like myself..LOL.
So I have received lots and lots of requests to write something gearing towards "Relationships" in the past but I was not inspired by anything at the time so did not want to write something generic with no substance just for writing sake...but guess what? I have a good one for yours truly!
Fortunately for us, a cause for a relationship topic came by a few days ago. A friend of a friend of a friend (don't bite your tongue) confided and shared an interesting but disturbing experience with me as she sought for my advice...As she spoke, all that could come to my mind was the term "balance". Please don't ask for details because I can't spill the beans:(
There has also been numerous stories here and there relating to this very topic.
Anyways, Guys! you might hate me for this one but I have to make sure my ladies are on track...so please bear with me.
Lets just say...there were 2 best friends..one named Molly..the other named Dolly..They did everything together and loved each other dearly...one day, Molly met and fell in love with this guy named Danny and abandoned her long built relationship with Dolly, so things got ugly! Got it?
Ladies...ask yourselves this question.."Do I have balance?" And then honestly answer...remember the worst thing that can happen to a person is lying to oneself! So what am I trying to say? Ladies Please please please don't jeopardize your relationship(s) with your girl(s) because you found a man that "claims" he loves and cares for you. I use the word "claims" because its not a fact yet until time tells....right? "Innocent until proven guilty" does not work too well in this situation huh? Your girls'/friends' love for you is a fact because it has been tested and proven overtime. I know how exciting and mind blowing we ladies could get when we meet a new guy especially when he says/does all the right things that we want to hear/see, but please do NOT get carried away and neglect your friends...the person(s) that have genuinely been there for you from the get go with nothing to gain but all the love in the world to give. In all fairness, your man (new or old) needs attention....lots and lots of it...considering men are like babies...LOL..just kidding...ok but they really do love attention! (Guys you know this is true). So ladies please give that man some of your time but make sure he is not taking that which belongs to your friends'. Someone may be asking.."How do I do this?" Well, that is where the term "Balance" comes in! Balance in this context simply means being able to love and care for your significant order while still maintaining a healthy "give and take" relationship with your friend(s)/girl(s)! Another person might be saying..."But I can't do this because Joe wants me to give him my 100%"...What??? Well, Joe can go shoot himself....LOL..just kidding! No, but you need to tell Joe that he can only have his own 100% and nobody else's. Explain to him that you were friends with XYZ before he ever met you, and that is the way the cookie crumbles. Tell Joe you don't want to control your relationship, but you would LOVE to control your life! And in the same token you certainly don't want him to control your relationship with your friend(s). Don't forget to tell him that you need some balance in your life to stay healthy so giving him all your life means sinking down on another aspect of your life which equals to unhealthy! After you have told Joe all these, if he truely loves you, he will let you to have a balanced life...but if he doesn't? he is a _____ man...you do the math! I say so because trust me, Joe has a life..a good one too! So in a nut shell I am reinforcing a famous biblical quote which says..."Give what belongs to Ceasar to Ceasar, and give what belongs to God to God". In other wards...play a fair game. Do not neglect either parties. Show everyone some love because they all matter in their own little ways. Do not forget that your man/boyfriend/husband can only bear one of these titles..but can never be a girlfriend/homie/right hand chic..and the list goes on. You can NEVER substitute the role of a girlfriend with that of your man..trust me it could only get ugly..LOL. A good example...answer this question: can you tell your man that you think some dude that just walked by is really cute and you like his strong arms? LOL.. ehmmm...I hope your answers are NO! if not...we might need to talk! My point exactly. Now I know some of you will be asking..."Is it okay to still keep old male friends or vice versa?" Hey! I can't advise you on that one. Its all subjective....please discuss that with your partners!
Guys I know some of you can relate to this so feel free to use/forward to your male friends accordingly. I focused on the women because it is more prevalent in that population.
Enjoy your relationships ladies and remember to stay BaLaNcEd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Comments, thoughts, ideas, arguments, and questions will be deeply appreciated.
Ciao for now!

Jetlag

First of all I would like to apologize to you all for the short break. I know you lot were yearning for another Somiesomie piece...LOL.

I would also like to give a shout out to all my followers that contacted me during the break, I appreciate the loyalty; I had to handle some personal sturvs please bear with me...the good news is that I am back full time...yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Okay lets go back to business. Today's blog is on 'Jet lag' First and foremost, I'm gonna go ahead and define that word for those that are not familiar with it. According to Dictionary.com, Jet lag is a temporary disruption of the body's normal biological rhythms after a high-speed air travel or through several time zones. Got it? Ok cool....now lets move on. So I travelled from point A to point B, a few days ago, and have not been able to sleep at night in point B. I sleep in the daytime and stay up all night..smh. I have been thinking about taking melatonin, a medication that adjusts your sleep wake cycle...but I have a problem with submitting my body to man-made concoctions....drugs! I really do..*hiss* I'm the kind of chic that will offer my friend my bed and a blanket to lay down instead of a pain killer for a head ache, for realz. So I guess I could be called an anti-pharmacological human being lol.. My thinking: our body produces way too many chemicals naturally so why add some more chaos to the already COMPLICATED mix? LOL.. weird huh? Give it a thot before judging me!

So back to my topic...Jetlag! I need help..I really do, Its approximately 8.30am in the current city that I am in which is 5 hours ahead of my city of origin, and I haven't slept! Not even for a minute...this is killing me. I don't have to be at work or school here, but I do have office hours commitments to deal with..phone calls and all, but I will be sleeping during that time!!!!!!!!!! So I guess my question to you all is:::What shall I do? has anybody experienced this? is anybody experiencing this now? Or does anybody have helpful ideas? Please share your honest thots and opinions below. Thanks!

Give it!

Good morning all.

Okay so I know we are in a recession and there is nothing we can do to change it, at least for now. Everyone is trying to save as much as they can. Charity donations have diminished tremendously, the voluntary workers' population have been slashed in half, used to be generous people are no longer generous, and the list goes on... But do you know there is something that costs zero dollars that you could still give generously and never run out? Yea..there really is! It is called a SMILE! Everyone has it to infinity...unless they get botoxed up..LOL. Each eye contact should be accompanied with a smile, its easy, it takes no time, it means a lot to people, and u can do it!! Try to smile at most or all the people you make eye contacts with today and see how you and those people feel. Statistics has shown that the smallest smile could make a person feel twice as good as they did before they were smiled at. Interesting huh? And yea...a Smile could save a life, seriously it really can, it has done so in the past!

What do you do when you are on the elevator? Do you smile or stand and look mean? What do you do when you walk past a person? Do you smile or just walk past? What do you do when you are standing in a queue? Do you smile or act like there is no one else there? What do you do at your place of work? Do you smile at your colleagues or just walk to your desk? What do you do when you make eye contact at the gym? Do you smile or look away? A smile costs zero dollars, zero pounds, zero naira, zero yuan, zero sterling, zero euros and so on.. so there is no need to save it.

If you see someone without a smile, kindly give them one of yours!

Mr Obama?

Good morning all. So I woke up this morning and wanted to see what was going on in the world.. I turned on my TV and started flipping through channels. I settled for a famous News station where some newscaster was discussing the president's performance with a guest...the conversation was appropriate and interesting until I heard the newscaster address the president as 'Mr Obama' hmmm...so I paused and then listened on..thinking it could could have been a mistake...I continued to listen..but heard it over and over again. I angrily switched to another program, and sent out a letter to that station! Hopefully they will be respectful enough to respond!

What do you guys think? Does anyone know why President Obama is being called 'mr Obama'? I mean is there a reason behind it? Is he not president enough? Am I missing something? Or are these people just outright disrespectful? What do you think?

Please explain to me.. Does anyone remember hearing phrases like 'Mr Clinton' or 'Mr Bush' over the past years? Like seriously, why can't this diligent president get his well deserved credit? What are your thoughts and comments? Please share...

Hey y'all how is the going?

happy day

Hey everyone how is ur day going?

I feel like I have been blessed today.
