The Elevens!

Hey dearies! Oh yes, I haven’t been here in a while. I just had too much to do. My final exams which I’m still writing, a particular project that you all will hear about soon because God knows I need your support and other issues that are just ...crazy. Thank you all for all your comments. God bless ya. *blowing kisses*

Adieu to all the people that lost their lives in the Dana air tragedy. I lost a distant relative, a young business man and an only son. May God heal broken hearts and may their souls rest in perfect peace. 

So the beautiful OddNaijaChic tagged me in the Elevens [Thanks sweetie]. There are rules to follow as usual. You must post the rules. You must say Eleven things about yourself. Create Eleven questions, then choose Eleven people, tag them to answer your questions. Let these bloggers know you tagged them. No tag backs. Let the blogger that tagged you know you answered their questions.

Okay.

First, I have said quite a lot about me on this blog. So to read more than Eleven things about me, click HERE and HERE. I haven’t changed much. Well, expect for the breakouts on my face due to stress and all.

Now to answer her questions..

Today is my birthday...

Yeah, I got a year older today. I am grateful to God for all HE has done for me and I am so sure HE is about to do more because, well I have a few more that I am asking HIM for. [Baba God, You know how far o! Na Your own miracle pure pass]

 I followed my mum to a small village called Esepe around Oku afo area in Badagry where she is supervising a survey job. I took a few pictures.

The only church in the village i think. Check out the age of the founder before he died.

Don't you dare stop!

This is for the average but aspiring to be much more than average woman {Whatz up!} now, I am one of the people that believe it is not over until it is over. Yeah, life begins when it begins! No specific year whatsoever. It is just you and your drive to make it and continuing even when those pessimists {some call them haters} think “For God’s sake, it didn’t work when you were twenty! Why the hell would it work now you are fifty!?”
Honey, don’t stop the pushing, the working, the hoping, the praying until you are…well dead!
Of course there would be obstacles in the way and most of them grinning “I love being your obstacle”. But you can’t let them stop you. Please don’t let them stop you! Don’t look at those pages of glamorous women and ladies in full colour glossy magazines and wallow in self pity. Look at them and say to yourself “I will get there”. I love that Boy 2 Men track especially the line that says “I will get through the night”.

Consider all that is wrong but happening to you now as your night. The sun is about to hit you in the eyes and behold, your better days are here! But remember, hard work and patience plus prayer would help you. Work hard at what you are doing; anything you are doing at all because what is worth doing at all is what doing well {please don’t think I am encouraging some crazy stuff, I am not!}

I am addressing the decent {okay she loses her balance sometimes but she gets right back up!}, hardworking {the hustle, this babe is everywhere doing her thing and there is no stopping her!}and average {she is no billionaire heiress but she sure does pay her bills} young woman.
Keep going babe girl. You will get there and when you do, we are going to pop that champagne!
