Me, Myself & I
« on: September 29, 2006, 06:24 PM »

There is sumtin about me that i don't like and trying to change, i don't talk about my personal life. That's why i decided to put that aspect into writing.
There are some things about me people dnt understand but i can not change. These include keeping to myself and keeping as few friends as possible. I guess it because i'm not very trusting.
I guess you are wondering why i'm writing this for all u peeps to read. I have no idea myself.
I have to go for now. I'll try to get back a.s.a.p

I feel a little guilty whenever my best friend tell me every little detail about her personal life (including the dirrrty stuff) and i reveal as little as possible. Not that i don't trust her but like i said earlier,i find it difficult to trust people and this bugs the hell out of me sometimes but thats why i choose to have just a few friends.
About the other habit i mentioned earlier(keeping to myself), there is nothing better than having your own privacy to reflect on what's been happening in your life and what you can do to make things better for yourself. My sis think i'm a weirdo who ignores the family. Maybe shes right, but i'm not about to change anything that.

I am going to discuss some people  but only wit the initials of their first names.

Gotta go now.

I was talking about some of my faults, but before i go any further, i feel i should let you know a little more about me.
I am a 20 year old final year student of unilag and a bit of a tomboy . For a part of my life, i had a form of low self esteem. I always felt i don't belong anywhere and i am not good enough for anyone or anything. Whenever someone tries to be nice or a guy approaches me, i used to think they had ulterior motives. However, over the years, i've appreciated myself better and my self confidence increased. I accepted me for who i am and i'm not willing to be sumting else just to please others.
When i first got into lag, i hung out with at least a dozen gals (i was still shy around guys then). Then i started to  push them away because i got tired of hearing gossips and latest fashion, it was getting too superficial for me. Then i took an intrest in sports and i started hangout wit guys to discuss the latest matches n stuff. Around then, i had no close friend eventhough i got along with almost everybody.
Then wai came into d picture. Within weeks we became very inseparable.

I love to continue, but i gotta go.

Before, i continue wai (y) is the initial of one of my best friends.
As i said, me and wai became inseperable and she got really concerned that i only choose to have platonic relationships with guys. Then, i've never had a boyfriend because i belived everyguy out there only wants to use and dump me (boy, was i naive or what). Then i came across jay. We both met in a lecture theartre at the backrow. It  was a bit dark and we couldnt see eachother properly but we got talking. I was suprised when he said he had known me for a while and he even can differciate me from my twin sis (we're identical). I was a bit ashamed  because i'd never seen before (another thing about me, i'm not good wit faces). Anyway, jay said that he liked me and he would like to be more than just friends. For the first time, i was a bit carried away and i started considering a relationship. Then, i started hearing some rather disturbing rumour about him, wai told me hes a big time playa and i even met one of his victims. They discouraging me from dating him. I started avoiding him without even confronting him. Around that time, i lost my phone and  got a new line so i totally severred every communication with him.
Then wai set me up wit eff so that i wont date jay. The whole thing was done secretly and i didnt appriciate it but we really hit it off.
Phew, i've gone far but there's more. C ya!

Eff first saw me and wai in a class. He told wai privately that  he liked me and stuff like that. Wai who was willing to distract me from jay agreed to hook me up with him. They made it seem like we were at the same place at the same time.  He introduced himself and we  got along with each other fine. I agreed to see him again on a date. The date went fine and he invited me to his room, things got really steamy and i was so close to losing it to him. I told him i've never had sex before and i can't just sleep with him like that. He was very understanding and agreed we should call it a day, but not before saying those 3 words (i love u).and i was like; don't say that,  you don't even know me. I was really excited about entering a relationship for the first time but i didn't feel the same way as eff felt eventhough i hoped the feeling would grow as time passed. I felt bad because he is such a nice guy and he deserted to be treated much better than the way i was treating him. After about six months, i called off the relationship because it was going nowhere. Maybe if i had tried harder, it would have worked out. Anyway, he seemed to be okay with the whole thing only to pour his heart out to wai, telling her how unfair i treated him. I still feel guilty about the whole thing till today.
I flew solo for a few months until i saw jay again and i realised that i kindda missed him.  He asked me why i was avoiding him but i was in a hurry and i  couldn't chit chat, but i promised i'll call him that night. I didnt call him until saturday night.
I've gotta go, i'll be right back.

me and jay started dating. i don't want to go into details but i can say that the romance was steamier than with eff except for one thing, i don't trust him.he told me he has changed over the year we lost contact,hehad cleaned his act up and is ready for a serious relationship. i didnt really mind, all i wanted was a non-commitment relationship. We've dating for over a year now,but i'm still holding back. though he never told me, i think he gets frustrated whenever i don't open up to him. two weeks ago, i called him and we had a row over the phone and he hung up on me. he has not called me since them.
I'll be out for a few days but, i'll sign with this question. WHY DO I ALWAYS MESS UP? Huh
Gotta go now, don't miss me much okay. Wink

« #8 on: October 04, 2006, 08:21 AM »

I’m back! Just couldn’t stay away. I’m beginning to get very attached to this journal. Now where were we…
I asked question, WHY DO I ALWAYS MESS UP MY LOVE LIFE. The only answer I can give is simply that I’m commitment phobic. Yep I just can’t see myself in a long term relationship. I always end up looking for more. Now back to the jay story.
Jay is the typical badboy i just want to be with so that you can express my other (wild) side. When I’m not around him, I don’t miss him, but whenever I see him, I feel weak and I’m so into him. I guess that’s why the relationship lasted this long. I keep asking myself; how do you go from dating a first class engineering student with prospects to an unserious student who may not graduate and may be cheatin. I’m as clueless as you guys. I heard somewhere that girls love to be with bad boys hoping to change them so that people will be like; “Wow! he changed because of her” that’s not too far from the truth in my case.
On 2nd of jan this year, at the same place I met 2 guys that made my lovr live a lot more complicated. Don’t have time to go into that now. Catch ya if I can.

I was invited to a new year get together by my guy pal, kay. Kay is one of my best friends and some sort of confidante. At the party a guy introduced himself as emm. While we talked I couldn’t help but notice this other guy at the party. Not that he was so striking or something but I was just attracted to him for reasons I couldn’t explain. Later the guy came and “borrowed” me from emm. He introduced himself as gee and we hung out for the rest of the party. We spent about 30mins in his car in front when he took me home and it really seem we were about to open a new chapter in our lives. I was even planning in how to break up with jay. But after calling me the next day, he just stopped calling or sending text. Emm on the other hand called me almost everyday. He really wanted me to give him a chance, but after the failed relationship with eff, I’d known better than getting into a relationship when your heart is not into it.
Theres more I hope ill be able to continue a.s.a.p

I’m back! Sorry I’ve not been able to update for a while, I’ve not totally forgotten you. Before I continue, let me give you an update of more recent events. The on & off relationship between me and jay, is now officially back on. Lets see how long it will last this time. Now lets get back to the gee and emm story.
I mentioned that I was a bit hurt when gee brushed me aside. I decided that I won’t throw myself at him like most shameless gals do (I’m not a desperate chick you know). However about 3 weeks of no communication, he decided to pay me a visit. We did a little catching up and once again, he made me believe there can be something between us only to disappear again. This time I decided not to let him go. I called him more often and he returned my calls and visited more regularly. However, that didn’t lead anywhere. It was just like two friends hanging out. I even asked you guys on this site if it is wise to tell him howi feel. Most of you advised me to tell him but I haven’t found the courage to till this moment.
Now the emm gist.
I mentioned that I wasn’t excited about emm’s interest in me. But, I decided to go on a date with him just to clear the air and tell him im not right for him and stuff like that. He seemed to take the rejection very well. But my good friend (bee) whose brother is his best friend told me he really took the rejection worse than I think. This journal is now getting hard to write because im beginning to feel kindda guilty about the way I treated these guys.
Gotta to go now.

After going though what ive written so far, I'm sure some of you reading this think i'm just a pathetic, silly man-obssed girl who is always desperate for attention from guys. That is far from true, actually, i'm a happy contented person. I'm open-minded and i get along with almost everybody. I love my live and everything about it(well almost everything). I get along with my ex and even the guys  i turned down.
With that cleared, ill be back with more emm gist. C ya!

Once again, I’m sorry I’ve not been consistent with this journal like before. So much has happened since then. Now where do I start…
I mentioned in the previous post that I’m back with jay, but to be sincere; I don’t really see a future for both of us together. So, I’m going to tell him whenever I see him that its over. I hope it won’t be too hard for me. I still have a soft spot for him you know, I’m just not in love.

Now let me go into details on the date with emm. During the date, he revealed a lot of things that really surprised me. He told me he had known and liked me for years since I was in secondary school but he didn’t ask me out because he felt I was too young, so he decided to try when I was a little older. I wanted to tell him that those sec school days was when I was most awkward and had little self-confidence and if he had approached me, it would have boosted my self esteem a little and I would have gone out with him. I didn’t. Instead, I told him there this other guy I like and im not sure if I’m the one for him. He spent the rest of the date telling me about his plans for the future and how he pictures me in it. He also told me that i’ll always be in heart even if we never get together. I pray he finds the woman he deserves (it could even be me). If it doesn’t work out with gee as I hope. I’ll propably give him a chance.
So guys do you think I should tell gee how I really feel about him? My e-mail address is in my profile. C ya!

Not much ishappening to me now. right now im trying to focus on my final year in school and not get distracted byanything.
i saw jay last week and i didnt (couldnt) break up wit him. what is happenningto me??? i want him at the same i can't get away from him fast enough. actually we got along fine when we were together and im beginning to think hes really into me and its going to hurt like bad when we break up, but better now than later.
guess what? i told gee that i liked himand it was not as bad as i thought

« #15 on: November 30, 2006, 02:35 PM »

telling gee how i felt about him really got a lot of things off my chest. i simply told him thah i wanted to be more than just friends. he was surprised and said it was "unafrican" for a girl to reveal that kind of thing to a guy, duh!!! welcome to the 21st cantury. anyways he told me that he's wrapped around a olt of things and he can't commit to a relationship right now. he didnt tell me to hang in there or if there  was a chance for us, so i've decided not to wait for him and move on. idont even call him anymore. now that jay is back in town ond i'm seeing less of gee, i have to admit that i'm gettind cloesr to jay than i intend to considering the fact that i want to break up with him (do i?).
as much as enjoy writing this journal, i'm having thoughts of ending it for personal reasons. hang in there, i will ba back?

« #16 on: December 11, 2006, 12:38 PM »

hey, i decided to continue with this journal (did i hear someone say amen?) but, i'm not sure i want to  reveal any more pesonal gists. i'm beginning to feel i'm invading into other peoples privacies. so in short this journal is about to take a whole new direction.
after going through all my posts, i was shocked by all the typos i made. not that i'm an excellent typer but i'm literate and i'm supposed to at least carry you guys along with good english. there is no gurantee that there will not be ne or two typos in this thread. i gues i can't type and look at the screen at the same time no matter how fast i type. its much better when i type with my phone because  its much easier to use your key pad. but recently, (about 2 months ago) my celtel phone has stopped browsing and it bugs the hell out of me. celtel is such a crappy network and i feel like misplacing the sim and get a better line like glo or mtn. but i've been stuck with the line for over a year and i can't start giving out new numbers. i'v called their customer care about six times (each time with a fake name) and each time i was told the same crap, "we are upgrading our system ond it may take time before we can reconnect. please bear with us"  . they are really trying my patience and its only a matter of time before i get a glo line.

i left lagos for abuja on the 27th of dec, the day after the pipeline explosion in abule egba. i live very close to this area and i was unfortunate to witness the charred bodies while they were being transported to the burying site. my heart goes to all the victims of the explosion and we can only pray that it does not happen again but who are we kidding.

i didnt really feel like leaving lagos but after seeing that horror, i culdnt wait to get to abuja.
i expected abj to be boring but nothing prepared me for the harsh harmattan i felt thare. it was dry and cold and i couldnt even leave the house to make friends (not that there was anyone around). i've been going to abuja since 2001 and i can't boast of one friend. actually i'm not vary social, but its very hard to meet anyone where the weather is bad and everyone is indoors most of the time.

“:Why are you a Moslem?” “Is it because your parents are Moslems or you were intimidated into being one?" people hardly ask me these questions but I’m sure they really want to. Instead they make comments like “you don’t look like one” and I’m always like how is a Muslim supposed to look like? . because I don’t wear a long hijab dosent make me any less a Muslim
I am a Muslim because I believe in Allah (S.W.T) and his messenger, Prophet Mohammed (S.A.W), the noblest of mankind. I am a Muslim because I believe in the message and teachings of the prophet (S.A.W).

I’m sure some muslims are familiar with this text message;
Our network to Aljaanat (heaven) is Islam, the sim pack is Eeman (faith), the pincode is 2,4,4,3,4. The recharge cards are good deeds. Continue to recharge and get eternal validity

Can still remember vividly when i used to count the days left before i graduate from (sometimes) dreadful unilag. Now that i've graduated from uni and i've been reduced to a couch potato, initially i didnt mind but now, i'm losing my mind with every passing day. Never been so bored in my life. My highlights of the past weeks is attending driving school and that is about to end, then i just go back to sitting at home to see what (ds)tv has to offer. :-(

I hate arguing and arguments, it gets very exhausting and I try to avoid it as often as I can. Few times I argue though, I know I’m right and I don’t argue if I don’t have any backup point. I remember arguing with a girl over the nationality of FIFA chairman. She kept insisting that he’s dutch while I maintained that sepp blatter is French. What annoyed me most is that we were in a female hostel and the other girls (who obviously don’t know jack about football) told me to go along with her because she’s a sport writer for a mag I’ve never heard of (so she’s got to be right). What saved my name was when another girl came in and took my side, that kept quiet a bit though she didn’t seem convinced. To me, she’s just one of the many press people who has no business in that field. Just imagine how many people are misinformed everyday when they read the rubbish these reporters throw them.

Those who live in GLASS HOUSES should throw stones. If they do, the house is shattered and its inhabitants are vulnerable to attack. 
On thursday they annouced a certain james peters as the "interim coach" of the super eagles. I was like; the boxer? Seems like the Nigerian Football Assholeciation has finally lost their pebbles. But then it dawned on me that boxer is samuel peters. Then i was like; who the hell is james peters. As it turns out, this fellow was responsible for the flying eagles worst outing in 1993 where they crashed out in the group stages and that is the person who the NFA feels is capable of handling the eagles. Suddenly i have a flashforward where i'm telling my grandkids what a great football country nigeria used to be.

Still on the coach issue.
my sister was like;  he's an interim coach and its a temporary arrangement till they get a new coach. Year right, what interim coach recieves a seven figure salary (about 3 milla), a house and a car. Plus hes part of the nfa directorial board (or whatever) so he has a say on who becomes coach. Jeez i wonder who hes going to pick (and ultimately kiss goodbye to a lucrative salary and other awoof like that?).
Anyways, i hope they get their acts right and pick the right person who will be able to pick our football back from the dumps.
