DAY 16: SOMETHING THAT YOU MISS

I actually miss a lot of things, but one particular thing stands out for me and that is, singing in a classical choir. I joined the choir in my church when I was 12 and ever since then, I've being singing. I joined the classical choir in my university, but when I finished university and I was doing my Nysc, I joined a church that did not really do classical music so I didn't even bother joining the choir. But whenever I watch previous videos of presentations I feel really emotional because I miss that life.

DAY 15: BULLET-POINT YOUR WHOLE DAY

I really don't like this topic cos it reminds me of how boring my day 😩😩. Well here goes my whole day. - Wake up by 5:00am or 6:00am depending on my mood. - Morning devotion - Make breakfast - Prepare for work  - Go to work - Work at work 😂😂😂 (that takes the whole day, from 8:00am- 6:00pm) - Go back home - Make dinner and eat - Have my bath - Watch TV or use laptop ( till like 10:00, 11:00pm depending on the day). - Do the dishes for the day - Pray - Sleep Yes, that should be it. Also note that most times I tell people that I'm soooo busy 😂😂😂

DAY 14: POST YOUR FAVORITE MOVIES THAT YOU NEVER GET TIRED OF WATCHING.

Generally I'm a fan of musicals and any movie that has singing done in it. So in this list, a lot of the movies have singing in them.  1. Pitch perfect 1-3 2. Sister's Act 3. High School musical 1-3 (😂😂😂😂 please don't judge me) 4. Mr. Bones  5. The greatest showman 6. Skinny girl in transit ( a Nigerian web series)  

DAY 13: WHAT ARE YOU EXCITED ABOUT

As you must have discovered from my earlier post, I'm passionate about a couple of things and those things get me really excited. But one other thing that gets me excited is food. Disclaimer: I am NOT a foodie!! Infact far from that. But there are some particular foods that gets me excited. An example is spaghetti. God knows, I could literally eat spaghetti for the rest of my life, I am fine with any type, be it white spaghetti and stew, jollof spaghetti, fried spaghetti, just name it, I'm down for it. But really, not only spaghetti, I feel beans is a special gift from God to humans but a lot of us don't appreciate it at all. But see ehn, honestly what food has the ability to produce other wonderful foods. Beans is great and I just want to talk about the greatness of beans briefly. Beans gives us akara or kosai as my northern people call it. Note, that same kosai is accompaniment to pap or custard and don't let us forget how well it goes with soft bread. Oh plea...

DAY 12: WRITE ABOUT FIVE BLESSINGS IN YOUR LIFE

1. My family: which consists of my daddy, mummy, two brothers and a sister. My family is a major source of blessing for me. They are my major support system, my ginger and my encourager. 2. Tesbali Clefs: Incase you're wondering what this is, well Tesbali clefs happens to be my service unit in university otherwise known as the covenant university classical choir CUCC. Well, I have so much to say about the people in this group but basically, being in Tesbali clefs taught me that you could love strangers so fiercely. Most of my present friends are members and everyone there has being a huge source of blessing to me. 3. Zamani college: well that was my secondary school students in kaduna, and going there is indeed a blessing. That school made me strong, contributed in building my self confidence, improved my study habits, and generally is a huge contribution to who I am today. 4. Myself 😆😆😆: yeah yeah, I've been a blessing to myself o. A huge one sef. 5. I'm leavin...

DAY 11: SOMETHING YOU ALWAYS THINK "WHAT IF.." ABOUT

Hahahahahahha... I like this So straight to the answer: The number 1 thing I think about is "what if I could avoid getting married but still have children" I'm sure someone is like "off course you can do that", yes I know I can do that but you see, the thing is that I'm a Christian and I take my faith seriously and I know that's against the word of God. Well, that does not stop me from imagining 😂 P.S remind me to never show this to my mum... She'll just start shouting 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

DAY 10: WRITE ABOUT SOMETHING FOR WHICH YOU FEEL STRONGLY

Hmmmm.. Really interesting topic. I consider myself a very passionate person. I've learnt to do what I love, to make me happy. One thing in particular which I feel strongly for has to be children. I really va r find the right words to explain how I feel when I'm amongst children. But In addition, I believe every child needs to happy, I believe every child should have access to basic things of life. That's why my long term dream is to have a less privileged school which will be really up to standard so that less privilege children will also have a chance at life. Currently I serve as a teacher in the children's church in my church and trust me, that has to be the most stressful thing ever. But guess what? I absolutely love it 😬😬😬😬😁😁😁

DAY 9: POST SOME WORDS OF WISDOM THAT SPEAK TO YO

So, over the years, some of the important sayings that I've bases my doings on and that have helped me so much are: 1). It's better to be alone than to be in bad company: this has taught me to choose the right set of people, people who add to you and make you better. 2). Do unto others what you want to be done to you: this has taught me to treat others with courtesy and respect.  3). This life is a give and take world: this has taught me to to be useful wherever I find myself in. 

DAY 8: SHARE SOMETHING YOU STRUGGLE WITH

So it’s alright most 12:00am on 8th of November and I’m tempted to leave this post till tomorrow but I’m determined not to fall for this temptation. Self control I guess. So back to the topic, one thing I’ve continuously struggled with has to be CHANGE. It sounds strange right but yeah,I don’t handle change that well. The issue really is when I get used to something, it takes a whole lot of extra work for me to change to another thing. When I hear some people talk about how they went to various primary and secondary schools, I really don’t comprehend it. I attended one primary school, one secondary and definitely one university. I remember in SS1 when my class had to be changed from the arm I was in from JS1, I practically fell into depression for the first term, it was sooo hard coming to terms with it. And I got affected by it so much. I can say I didn’t fully recover from that change till probably end of SS 2. In my first year in university I ate only jollof rice and snacks...

DAY 5: LIST FIVE PLACES YOU WANT TO VISIT

So here are my top 5 countries I'll love to visit - France- omg, I've loved French and France since I can remember. Hopefully I'll be there next year (2019) - South Africa- I've just really liked SA. I don't know the reason exactly, but I'll love to go there - Israel- just for the obvious reason of seeing places from the bible  - Canada- to see my siblings 😂😂😂 - USA- because everybody goes there 😭😭😂😂😂😂

DAY 4: WRITE ABOUT SOMEONE WHO INSPIRES YOU

So over the years, I've had different mentors, but recently someone I've gotten to love so much even though I've never met her is Architect Jumoke Adenowo. Jumoke is an architect, and she just turned 50 last month. I first heard about her on a program called king woman produced by Kemi Adetiba. Jumoke is both a career woman (she owns her architectural firm) and a family woman (she is happily and has 2 sons) and honestly that's what appealed to me most about her. I see her as someone that has it all even tho I know that she has worked really hard for all that she has. I really hope to be like her someday. I will keep studying her and learning from her from afar but I know one day my exploits and achievements will make me to meet her and probably I'll show her this.  Other people that have inspired me is  - Abimbola Craig- I really love this lady sooooo much. Never met her also but from her social media pages which I follow and her vlogs, I see he...

DAY 3: WHAT ARE YOUR TOP THREE PET PEEVES

DAY 2: WRITE SOMETHING THAT SOMEONE TOLD YOU ABOUT YOURSELF THAT YOU NEVER FORGOT

So a friend sent me a message one day and this was what he wrote  " I'm thinking about the time I spent with you when I came I'm over joyed with memories And I bless God for your life today Ebun I miss you and I want you to know how much you mean to me Thank you so much for bn there for me I hope we meet again Extend my regards to Ope. You have touched my life tremendously" It's been over 2 years and I'm still really amazed at how much impact I had in his life for him to say all those things to me. We're still really good friends. Another friend who I served with back in my service unit in school chapel wrote a very long letter to me thanking me for making him a better person. These are just few examples tho. I bless God that I must be doing something right. ☺️☺️😌
