I woke early just lazed on the bed. My mind busy with thoughts like a grand prix race. I need to start doing things differently to arrive at a different desirable destination with regards to my present level of achievement. As for my all months visitors, I’m just letting sleeping dogs lie. Is it a good or bad decision, I don’t know. Sometimes I ask God, is this a test? Am I wrong for doing right? Is it a curse that Im blessed with gentle personality? I read my devotional.

I showered and left for work. I stumbled onto one chic I know from way back. Way back when she was wayward, really wayward. She looked different. She looked responsible. She is married. Has a child. Drives a car. Owns a shop in the plaza I went to by something. This world is a funny place. It’s amazing how someone's fortune can change immensely. We greeted and I left for work. On my way to the office, my boss sent me a text, asking why I come late to work these days. I didn’t reply. I got to the office and he was in one of his office-rearrangement mode. We haven’t rearranged our office in a long time.

First we went out to buy a big white board did a few changes here and there. When I came back I left with a carpenter to Akoka and the Tejuosho market. He is refurbishing the cushions in the office. What a pain for me. I cut a key for Chris so he wont have to wait for any of us. I had my doubt when I saw the key. Well I have been cutting keys before and they look exact but none has ever failed me. I headed back to the office via public bus. We were a couple of feets above the lagoon on third mainland bridge when the tire back tire exploded. I have not experienced this in a long time. One chic at the back screamed  'Jesus'. Probably the only 'Jesus' and only exclamation. She went on to yell at the driver not to match the brake! The driver wasn’t on top speed neither were there much traffic on the bridge.

Her screaming started getting annoying, one passenger had to ask her to calm down the driver is not stepping the brakes. The driver just coasting to a safe stop. The lady was so scared, she couldn’t admire the beauty of the lagoon like everyone else did. We switched buses. I branched at Shoprite to get lunch even though a text from my boss said they have lunch for me. You can’t be too careful you know. There was lunch for me alright, nothing wrong with having extra. I tasted the key and jackpot! It didn’t work. That's a first. I tried it several times, it was no use. I threw the damned thing away.

I’m up early. Maybe I will go to work early too. I’m still waiting for Aero, Interswitch and Gtbank to reverse the transaction that failed deliver service but succeeded in taking money. I want to write them again. Aero staff has been on strike now, could it be the cause of the delay?

This couple has started piling candle wax on the speaker shelf again. What is it with these people and their despicable tendencies to mess the aesthetics of their environment. It’s so annoyingly amazing how they are comfortable with the eyesore. It gets under my skin. And they say they are not comfortable enough, I can agree to an extent. But I also can’t help but wonder how dirty, messy, filthy, aesthetically tarnished the place will be if they were ‘‘comfortable’’ enough.

I went to work. Again nothing much to do. I went to Access Bank to rectify a transaction issue. We believed we left N189000 with the cashier to deposit in a new account that was being opened. Since the account number was not yet assigned and my boss was in a mad rush as usual, he was just hurrying the process by leaving the money with the bank to deposit once the account is active. The cashier even filled out the teller for him. So when the deposit alert came it was N181000. Howcome? We left N189000, what happened to N8000? A tough situation I might add. They was no proof of giving the bank that amount. The bank did its investigation and trust the staff involved for meticulous work ethics. We on other hand was certain of the amount. Obviously there's a mistake somewhere but where is it? My boss they must give him his N8000.

On my way back to the office I bought spicy porridge yam and fried sweet potato from Shoprite plus a bottle of fanta. I need it. Earlier in the morning I went out with the driver to pick a few items for the office, Ify came in with domino pizza. They devoured it without remembering me. When I was eating my lunch my boss complained about I bought lunch for just myself not giving about the rest. In my mind I was like, do you really wanna go there? 

Finally the staff involved paid the money. My boss later asked her to take back her money. He just wanted them to take responsibility, that a customer's money disappear without the person/s involved not paying for it

Seatbelt T-Shirt Designed To Fool Police & Road Officials

Sometimes, inventions are dull and sometimes, inventions are complete head-scratchers. The seat-belt t-shirt is, quite simply, a white t-shirt that features a black strap running diagonally across the chest. It's meant to fool police and road safety officers into thinking that the driver is wearing a seat-belt.

This is so convincingly looking like the driver put on his seat-belt. Seat-belts are meant to save ones life while will go to great lengths to avoid putting it on?

I’m alive. I’m awake. I’m well. I read the open heaven, I read from the backlog of two days I skipped. I still have two days remaining to clear it. I went to work with a special beam. Beam for success. Beam of success. The day flew by quickly, somehow I didn't capture much.

I went to Onye Mama's restaurant to fill my stomach. She does great cooking. And she is making mad money milking many customers. I saw Obinna there. He asked me to pay for him which I did. I got home and Ibe came in immediately behind me. He came with his clothes that has been on the line for almost 4 days now! It has dried up since but the rain rewashed it for him. Talk about being lazy to do simple chores, he is the master.

I’m still minding my business, not talking to anyone unless I really have to. I always respond if any of them asks me something or needs my help. There was no food like I expected but that doesn’t mean they didn’t eaten something just like me.

Sunday March 24 2013

I woke up early for church cuz I got workers-in-progress class at 7:00am. Today is palm Sunday by the way. Went to church early and was on time for the class. It was very interactive. Part of the lesson was restitution. There was something bothering that I wanted to ask but couldn’t. It was too personal to share in the class I guess. Or maybe it’s not really restitution related. I said I will as the assistant pastor privately. I hope I’m not populating the list of things I let lie fallow in the limbo things I wanna discuss with a true pastor. Service was also uplifting. There was youth and singles meeting after service, I couldn’t wait cuz I was expecting a visitor.

After service I went straight to restaurant to eat. I met Obi the wine dealer on my way and we had a chit chat. It kinda delayed me a little. The cloud starting turning so I had to cut the chit chat short. I found my way to the restaurant eventually. Immediately I started eating heaven lifted restraining order on rain and it just fell in its fullness. Instantly everywhere was flooded, trust Lagos and its flood issue. I took my time with the food. The kid I met at the restaurant really served me a large portion, I’m sure his madam would served something smaller that will make me wanna buy extra lol. Hey kid, I thank you specially, it’s like you know the feelings of my tommy. I finished my food which was deeply filling. I can’t say much about the taste. Sometimes you get so hungry that your taste buds malfunctions and starts hallucinating.

I played Asphalt 6 on my phone to pass the time while I sit out the rain. Wondering, will this stop my visitor from coming? The sky finally finished bathing this portion of earth's surface. I walked home. I had a good sleep before my guest arrived. We played catch up and also talked about good old days. Ibe and his wife were around. They didn’t seem to have gone out today at all. I saw my guest off around four o'clock. I couldn’t make call on my phone. MTN must be having some technical issues. I had like N490 call credit and the thing kept telling me 'your account is too low for this call...'.

I woke on time. Pick my gear for running and headed out. I stayed up watching Inuyasha from around 4:00am, I felt a bit sleepy in the morning. Went for the run, I didn’t do the whole 15km cuz I don’t want to lose more weight. Instead I want to gain. It was really tiring. My brother gave me some to wack correct garri. I did exactly that at Onye Mama's buka. Thank God I did that. I felt so energized.

I went home around some minutes to one and slept a great deal. The amount of sleep was enough to put an entire community in comma for days, lol. When I woke up, I did a little reading and then went out for a stroll. Elsie called me as I was about leaving the house. It was cool hearing from her. She is someone I met recently online. I stayed out for the cool breeze. The breeze was sooo amazingly refreshing. I stayed out for a long time just soaking in the Mother Nature’s free therapeutic sea breeze. I went in after this sea breeze glutton was satisfied.

Good morning beautiful, how was your night? Mine was wonderful. I read almost all the daily readings of open heaven devotional that I have missed except yesterday and today. I left for work. They sky was in a cool mood cuz it drizzled. I collected my share of the drizzle just anybody without umbrella. I continued with the account transaction of yesterday. Chris hasn’t shown up in the office for two days now. Hope he is okay.

We had a little TGIF at Sailor's Lounge in Lekki. Initially I wasn’t included in the plan. It was cool. A few nutty jokes. I enjoyed the sea breeze the most. I didn’t drink much though. Asuu here, chicken wings there, it was nice. Ify dropped me off. Im mentally getting myself ready for tomorrow's run so I set my phone alarm to an early wake up time. Went home straight. Mimi served me some food. I ate and slept immediately afterwards.
