Praying mantis.

Last Night, i had a heart to heart conversation with a friend and he revealed a lot of stuff to me. what i found funny was that him and most of my other male friends think I'm a man eater! 
anyway, i googled to find out what it really meant and though i know i could be very intimidating, i didn't know it had evolved to Man eating.
anyway here are the lyrics to Man Eater by Nelly Furtado. iLike :o)


Everybody look at me, me 
I walk in the door you start screaming 
Come on everybody whatchu here for? 
Move your body around like a nympho 
Everybody get your necks to crack around 
All you crazy people come on jump around 
I want to see you all on your knees 
you either want to be with me, or be me 

Chorus- 
Maneater, make you work hard 
Make you spend hard 
Make you want all, of her love 
She's a maneater 
make you buy cars 
make you cut cords 
make you fall, fall in love 
Maneater, make you work hard 
Make you spend hard 
Make you want all, all of her love 
She's a maneater 
make you buy cars 
make you cut cords 
Wish you never ever met her at all 

Verse 2- 
And when she walks she walks with passion 
when she talks, she talks like she can handle it 
when she asks for something she means it 
even if you never ever ever seen it 
everybody get your necks to crack around 
all you crazy people come and jump around 
you doing anything to keep her by your side 
because, she said she love you, love you long time 


Chorus- 
Maneater, make you work hard 
Make you spend hard 
Make you want all, of her love 
She's a maneater 
make you buy cars 
make you cut cords 
make you fall, fall in love 
Maneater, make you work hard 
Make you spend hard 
Make you want all, all of her love 
She's a maneater 
make you buy cars 
make you cut cords 
Wish you never ever met her at all 

[Chants] 


Chorus- 
Maneater, make you work hard 
Make you spend hard 
Make you want all, of her love 
She's a maneater 
make you buy cars 
make you cut cords 
make you fall, fall in love 
Maneater, make you work hard 
Make you spend hard 
Make you want all, all of her love 
She's a maneater 
make you buy cars 
make you cut cords 
Wish you never ever met her at all 

Outro- 
never ever met her at all 
you wish you never ever met her at all 
you wish you never ever met her at all 
you wish you never ever met her at all 
you wish you never ever met her at all 
you wish you never ever met her at all 

grateFULL

I'm extremely happy today because God has shown mercy upon me and granted one of my desires. it has been a huge burden on me and i really didn't know what to do. i remember being so depressed. i despaired but i thank God for pulling me back and shielding me. he has not only saved me from shame...
to cut the long untold story short, GOD IS GOOD and MERCIFUL. we just have to be patient with him cocz truly i say unto thee, His Time Is The BEST!


cheers

Salute - Whitney Houston

It made me feel much better and has been on replay for most of the day :o)

Ay, ay, ow
Say you wanna walk away
You ain’t got nothing to say
I salute you, yeah
Go on out the door,
Now, you take care
No more tears to shed
What, you expecting me to beg,
well i’m not i'm done
So when you leave just close the door behind you,

Cause, i’m feeling kind of taller than you, lately
I’m feeling kind of stronger than you, lately
I’m feeling kind of better than you,
And I know just what to do, yeah
I feel like doing my hair
I feel like calling some of my friends
I feel like going to a club and partying

Cause i’m a soldier girl, in this world
i Stand alone, i can be strong
I walked a mile, and made it home
It’s good to know without you I made it
Soldier girl, in my world
i Took the fall now I stand tall
for the pain and all, I made it through
And now im about to say to you
Salute, ay, ay
Salute, ay, ay

You think you know everything,
See you think that your shit don’t stink,
Well it do, yeah
And when it comes to me,
You don’t have a clue
It took me all of these years,
To realize that you don't belong here
I can do better,
You say ill never do better
Yeah, like whatever

I’m feeling kind of taller than you, lately
I’m feeling kind of stronger than you, baby lately
I’m feeling kinda better than you,
And I know just what to do
I feel like doing my hair
I feel like calling some of my friends
I feel like going to a club and partying

I’m a soldier girl, in this world
i Stand alone, i can be strong
I walk for miles, and made home
It’s good to know without you I made it
Soldier, girl, in my world
i Took the fall now I stand tall
for the pain and all, I made it through
And now i'm about to say to you
Salute, ay, ay
Salute, ay, ay

So don’t call it a come back, no
I've been here for years,(yeah)
Through all of the drama and the pain
And all the tears
It’s time to stop this rollercoaster,
i wanna get off
And start moving mountains, swimming seas,
And climbing over walls

Cause I’m a soldier girl, in this world
i Stand alone, i can be strong
I walk for miles, i made it home
It’s good to know without you I made it
Soldier, girl, in my world
i Took the fall now I stand tall
for the pain and all, I made it through
And now i'm about to say to you
Salute, ay, ay
Salute, ay, ay

No weapon formed against me shall prosper.

I've never really believed that I had enemies, after all good came to those who did good. But i was wrong, the world don't work like that. I never really prayed for protection against the enemy. Once you declare to be a follower of christ you automatically start a battle with Satan. You must be firm in prayer and discreet in what information you put out there. People are jealous, the heart of man is desperately EVIL! Watch and pray at all times, be alert for the devil and his followers are not happy with your progress and happiness in this life. They'll do all they can to RUIN you but they'll never succeed for i am anointed child of God, heir of his Kingdom heaven and thou i dwell on earth temporarily the devil will not have any power over me. PRAY MY FRIENDS< PRAY!!!

Update

Saturday may 14th...
what's special about this day? nothing really. A couple of random birthdays i guess and probably a major event somewhere in the world but i'm seated at the library at Maslak overlooking the view of Istanbul under the intense SUN.
somehow summer came a bit late this year but its not going easy on us either. i'm on my 4th bottle of water and still haven't been to the loo yet.
anyway i've missed tweeting and just decided to make a blog post after what seems like ages.
speaking of twitter, its amazing what people come up with over there. i'm down with 14455 tweets and i really don't know what i've been saying. i hear some have almost a hundred thousand and i'm like wowowow!!! i even hear that some get paid to tweet.... now if thats true then no one gets a free RT from me ever (lols) i kid. how many followers do i even have to boast with anyway?
well i really miss interacting with random tweeps and reading the not so famous posts of these twelebs (twitter celebrities = those who go famous in real life or not because of twitter). above all i miss stalking. goooshhh! around this time last year i had my stalking game so up i could cough any relationship link or whatsoever from mere tweets. i was a pro and i did it well. now i've retired but i'm still crushing on Doubliyu so once in a while i resort to snoop over his mentions just to have an idea of what he reads.
ok im actually getting bored with all these writing. i wish blogger had a limit like the 140 limit on twitter. and by the way, how many times did i mention twitter? i haven't tweeted in 13 days and i think i'm about to burst.
anyways there goes my post for the year NOT.
i plan to update more often
cheeers

My first day in Boarding school (fiction)

The eve of my departure to boarding school was the longest might i'd ever experience. I couldn't wait for the light of dawn to appear so that i could start s new life in a completely different environment. I was just 10 years old; it was going to be the first time i'll be leaving home to live on my own. I had mixed feelings but being brought up in a middle class Nigerian Family i had no choice, boarding secondary education was the norm. The idea of not having to share my bed, own a box, bucket, lockers and evening having my own personal student account was delightful but the thought of catering for myself, waking up as early as 5.00 am to do my duties before attending lessons was disheartening. Of course there were bells and seniors students who would ensure that all activities where carried out at the appropriate time. However, most seniors were mean to junior students to the extent of giving out their uniforms to the junior students to wash. Now thats WICKED!

When morning finally came, I had everyone at home running up and down making sure i didn't leave behind any of my possessions. I bade farewell to my siblings and joined my parents in the car, we had to drive three hours to get to school. During the journey, my parents gave me advice on good conduct preparing me for the task ahead. They did their best to give a general insight of life in boarding school, mum even had to share some of her experiences with me just to make me realize how fortunate i was to be born in the present generation because life in the past was much harder and they had to travel very long distances to fetch bathing water often which they encountered a lot of scary creatures in the bush.

Finally we arrived, at the gate was the principal who received us and after all the necessary registration process was completed, i had to say my goodbyes. This was the most difficult part of it all. I looked around to see other gloomy faces, some new students even running after their parents' cars as it drove away. I turned to my parents, hugged them one last time with tears in my eyes, i watched them head towards the campus gate, as they disappeared into the traffic on the highway i walked away with my head bent, i was all alone now. Suddenly i felt a slap on my shoulder. It was a friend of mine from primary school, i had no idea we got admitted into the same secondary school. The tears in my eyes vanished immediately, and after catching up on all the gist we missed about who went to which school, we decided to familiarize ourselves with the new school environment since other students were still arriving and there wasn't any activity scheduled until evening. We started from the hostel area, walking past the first of six dormitory complexes we noticed a large open field probably used for out door sports. As we approached the assembly hall, i began to have a sense of dejavu. I'd been here before and it wasn't in my dreams, it was 5 years ago when my Aunt and I came for my cousin's graduation ceremony. A lot had changed considering the newly completed structures here and there. I noticed a huge building between the administrative block and the infirmary; it had the word "SILENCE" hanging on the door. That must be the library I concluded. The organization of the school was fascinating.

By the time we completed our tour, it was already getting dark and I remembered what my mum had said about scary creatures, we had to find our way back but the problem was we didn't know how. As we wondered about the campus, we came across a signpost pointing southwards with the inscription "UP" boldly written, ignoring it we continued wondering and again we saw another signpost pointing northwards with "DOWN" written on it. We didn't have a clue what "UP" or "DOWN" meant. Scared and confused we decided to walk towards the illuminated pathway leading towards the main gate of the school, as we approached the refectory we noticed a group of students having an orientation and the officiating staff was taking a roll call. Tired and hungry we hurriedly joined the group; the thought of missing dinner wasn't amusing either.

As we fell into our lines, the staff on duty approached us and asked; "Where have you both been?" My friend and i answer in unison, "We lost our way around campus". "How could that possibly be? We have signposts showing directions everywhere " he says, "We saw the signposts but we didn't understand what it meant." We replied. "How do you mean?" he asks? "The sign "UP" was pointing southwards and the sign "DOWN" was pointing Northwards" I replied. "And we had no idea what it meant, my friend added." A ha!", he says laughingly, "UP" and "DOWN" are words peculiar to this campus. Up means the administrative and class area while Down means the dormitory and recreation areas" he explained. "Welcome to campus life, you are going to have an interesting six years ahead" he added.

Staring amazed at him we nodded, indeed we were.
