Random chic in a not so random town

criticism [ˈkrɪtɪˌsɪzəm] n 1. the act or an instance of making an unfavorable or severe judgment, comment, etc.  That is what the English dictionary  makes of criticism. The act of making an unfavorable or severe judgement, comment...harsh huh? I don't think so. As human beings we thrive on praise. When we do something we expect people to clap and beam at our magnificence, to melt at or ingenious self, to bow at our awesomeness because we think we have outdone ourselves. But it is those who value criticism who prevail in this life. It requires being beyond human to accept and embrace criticism and to pick what is good critism and what is not. I am a 20 something year old who is still very inexperienced in a lot of things in life. I still go for the bad boy instead of the nice boy even after being hurt, I still hurt my friends without knowing how to be sensitive to their needs, I still think my mother is being obnoxious when she tells me I need to be presentable...

It has been ages since I blogged! Well not entirely my fault now is it? Well in this period of time some changes have been effected in the company :) Employees who have been spending time on the net 'developing their social and writing skills' were nabbed and yes, you got it right I was among them :) Lets take a journey to the beginning,...a month ago, the networking department installed a firewall called cyber-roam, naive IT birds like me asked why this was being made mandatory and I was told it was just so that the company would protect itself from harmful internet content, because I am a loyal employee ;) I supported this move to facilitate efficiency for the organization-after all we are working to get recognized out there and am a hardworking employee- After that, life continued and smoothly :) Fast forward to one month later, I get off from a meeting and head home at around mid-day, I was not feeling so well and therefore the detour was necessary. The meeting had gone ...

Love thy neighbor as you love thy self. Simple rule of life..that for you to love your neighbor it has to start with the attitude you carry for yourself. Many people say they love, they are in love and they have fallen, but with what? looks, money, the arrogant flair he does things with? Easy to say but rarely easy to achieve in totally. In this journey of life I have embarked in finding out what it really means to love thine self....so I will try and break it down:) When you love yourself you think highly of yourself I don't mean that you treat others with disrespect, that you look down upon them because they don't have what you have..what I mean is that you learn how to assert yourself, that you learn to differentiate between respect and humiliation, that you know your capabilities and you work on them, that you know your flaws and embrace them with the mindset of making yourself a better person, that you learn to face your demons every waking day with the support systems...

I love this new blogger template so clean and clutter free and has a white background!(If you know me you would know I have a self proclaimed OCD for white and anything that reminds me of clean :$ ) Anyway not the agenda of the day. Yesterday I had a very interesting conversation with a friend of mine who decided to deport himself to Pakistan. I sought to find out if its anything I hear on CNN, Like Africa is commonly stereotyped as having people languishing in poverty, yet Nigeria has someone on the Forbes 100 most richest and influential people in the world~shakingmyhead~ some serious poverty that is (not saying we don't have problems). Turns out Pakistan is the place to be, even has a beach to die for...next holiday destination once I get my pay check Yes I just rolled my eyes :) so shoot me!!! He was bored and sleepy so he attempted to engage me in a rather interesting conversation on general things but what struck me most is our conversation on religion and homosexuality.....

Another day, another Friday...been an eventful week and I loved every bit of it considering I had two Mondays in one week! I have been postponing this post for the longest time, creating drafts then deleting them then telling myself that's not the right story to tell and what not but hey, I can write whatever I want, what comes from the heart...that way I remain true to self and I get to let the rest of the world in to experience things the way I see them in my eyes :) So I have been home alone from yesterday and in that daze I get a phone call from someone I did not expect! Considering ours is a business relationship, I picked the call and leaned back on my seat waiting to hear the progress of our business..shock horror! guy starts his own stories, at first am still trying to stabilize myself to hear if am having things play in my ear right and YES i was right, he goes on and on and on about how he likes me and all this time am reading in between the lines thinking fool! When am...
