Random musings

The one about music, art and friends.

Hi guys, how have you been? Hope you have gotten yourself in the mood for the most wonderful time of the year. Christmas and the end of the year activities generally has a way of making me forget momentarily about life's woes and concentrate on the good things, good tidings as it is said. Listening to carols are one of my highlights of this time of the year. I am a sucker for good music and I appreciate the fact that carols are consistent and warm, like a big hug from your favourite person. Speaking about music, Nigerian artistes have been generous to us with great music this year and I love to see it. One of my favourite songs…

The one about unusual self-care

It's been forever and I know. I will be the first to admit to my lack of accountability on the blog posts goals I set for myself this year. Things have been pretty intense and when I finally decided to blog again, I discovered that I didn't renew my website service subscription and someone bought my domain name. The said person then requested that I buy it back for 400 Queen Elizabeth Pounds! When Tems sang about crazy things happening, my good sister did not tell a single lie. What is important is that I am back like I never left and I intend to do better as a blogger and an adult in smashing my goals, so help me…

The one about the road to love

I knew I wanted to write about love to commemorate Valentine’s Day but I had no idea what to write. The subject of romantic love is so extensive that one could write for hours and not exhaust half of it. To help me streamline my thoughts, I put out a post on my Instagram stories to ask my friends to select from a list of topics I had on my radar. Interestingly, everyone had different ideas on what they wanted me to write about, there was no majority vote on any of the topics. I have thus decided to see if I can touch a bit on every of them and maybe have a part 2 if this post becomes…

The one that has no title

It has been a minute as usual. No one makes grand plans like the person that does not know tomorrow. In this case, this is me, I believed I would always be in the mood to write but hahaha. I have not been writing because I lacked motivation and time to articulate my thoughts into words. Let me tell you quickly what I have been up to. In June, I realized that I needed to upskill to navigate from my current role at work to another unit. I registered for a training outside of work to aid me in transitioning and classes started towards the end of July. It started well and rosy, I was learning new stuff and felt…

The one about the pandeversary (get it?).

It has been a year since our lives were altered by the pandemic. For me, it was a year on the 27th March 2021 since we started working from home. I used to really envy my friends who live abroad and had the luxury of working from home, but look at me now, sometimes I find it hard to believe that I am living through these very unexpected times. Prior to the lockdown, it appears my life must have been on the line with my daily commute, but I did not know. In retrospect, I have no idea how I had been surviving. I would leave home about 5.40am every morning just to avoid driving in traffic then go to…

The one about the good place.

It feels like I always have to start my blog posts with "long time,no see" or in this case, 'long time, no posts' . Let us thank God for life because wiunnnnn, e be tins. Today, I shall tell you about my good place and it is not Lagos, thank goodness. How have you guys been, especially Nigerians living in Nigeria? How is your mental health? One day, I will write about the events of October as it occured in Nigeria but I am not in that space yet. Initially, I really had no direction for this post, it was meant to be an outpouring of the so many thoughts in my head. I am glad 2020 is finally drawing…

The one about life and its curveballs.

I woke up on Saturday around noon expecting to have a normal day of bingeing on K-drama, sadly it was not to be so because the first thing I saw was the news of Chadwick Boseman’s passing. My first reaction was denial, I figured if I did not think about it then I would not have to mourn yet another person I did not know personally. You see, my first time of experiencing what I have termed this “third party grief” was when Mrs. Ibidunni Ighodalo died. I had never seen her before or even followed her closely on social media. She was just someone I liked a lot and respected from afar. It was shocking to me how much…

The one about Friends.

Heyoooooo, it’s Sean Kingston. I have been meaning to use that since I re-discovered Sean’s music a few months ago. His music was lit and I wonder where and what he is doing now. How have you guys been? I know life is gradually starting in most cities, I hope you are safe and wearing your masks religiously. It has been a while and I apologise to you and to myself for not keeping to my goal of putting out a post every fortnight. One of my friends reached out to me on 25th June to ask why I had not put out any new post in a while. I told her I had just not felt like writing for…

The one about lights, camera and action.

Guys, how are you holding up this rona season?. It has been tough to be honest. We remain thankful for life, for all the privileges we have been afforded this trying times whilst praying and helping people that do not have it as easy as us. I have been unable to write anything for the past few weeks because I have been so lost and frankly, I was also taking my time to process so many things. I don't have a lid on them yet but we move regardless. The intention of this post is to take your mind off of the pandemic for a while. There was a time I did a poll on my IG story asking people…
