Anyways, hope you guys are done with your new year resolutions? Well, I am done with mine finished it on the last day of 2011 and pray I would keep to it this year. God has been really talking to me these few days and I believe He wants me to decrease so He can increase in all aspects of my life(spritually,physically and mentally). Don't be freaked it was not a loud voice shouting my name it was more like a stirring in my spirit or a little voice pestering me to act right

Unforgettable Memories

Today I decided to clean my email box. I hadn't done that in four years so you can imagine the tons of mails I had plus those from social network sites. Anyways, I re-discovered  an old email message that made it worthwhile. It was sent about four years ago by a highschool classmate a few months before I graduated. I remeber when I first saw it I was speechless and confused. Well, what do you expect from a sixteen year old girl. But, what he didn't know was that his words had a profound effect on me and made me want to strive to be a better lady than I was.  Here is the message he sent;

Hey how u doing? There's something that's been heavy on my heart for a while now and i think I have to confess.
Ever since the day i met you, i was attracted by you. Your maturity, your character, etc. I tried being with other girls and i entered the illusion that i could forget you but unfortunately, it was to no avail. Every time you appear in my mind. There's something about you, your inaccessibility that gives you a particular charm no other girl has.

Unfortunately, I realize that you are too different and also too serious and that I have very low chances with you but nevertheless, I will feel better once you know what i feel about you. I'm not asking for anything, I just want to relieve myself by confessing. I hope this won't alter our friendship and won't change the way you see me. Don't worry nothing will change.

PS: PLEASE DONT TELL ANYONE ABOUT THIS AND DELETE THIS MESSAGE AS SOON AS YOU'VE FINISHED READING IT.

Sorry, because it did change things. It made me appreciate the frienship we had I was blessed to have known you. Sorry again, because I didnt follow the instructions couldn't delete it.Who knows maybe it is going to touch a heart today. Also, this made me realize that there would always be someone who would love you for who you are. Even if you are 'serious' like me or 'friendly' and if man can see past negative aspects and appreciate a person.. How much more God?
In conclusion, this is the season for sharing. God shared his only begotten son with the world and this memory is so unforgettable that we've been celebrating him for more than two hundred years. Let's also give others unforgettable memories this season!

It's December finally! really.. so soon?

I don't know about other West African countries but in Ghana it is on the onset of  harmattan that we realize that Christmas and New year are just around the coner, a bit like when children get excited when they see the first drop of snow in the west. Today, went to church as usual but noticed that my throat was suddenly dry, my lips were chapped and my fingers were cold and those are the unmistaken symptomps of harmattan.
So, since 2011 is left with a few days I might as well just take stock of it now and leave the resolutions for next year to be written on the 31st.
   
This year frankly has not been all rosy, with the war in Ivory Coast, my mum's new school in Ghana, the death of my friend's father and I recently learnt my childhood friend who used to go to church with me is pregnant. Hmm, really made me recognize the blessing that I had supportive friends and family to protect me and keep me on the right path. I thank God for that.
   
Counting my 2011 blessings:
1. Started this blog this year and another http://accra2madrid.wordpress.com/  also tarted re-writing in my diary.
2. I met my boyfriend this year :)
3.. Made so much great friends like Bernard, Junior etc( benard see wrote about you )
4. Went to about eight weddings this year.
5. Went to alot of christian concerts.
6. I emceed for the first time at a friends
7.Got a learners driver's licence
8. I  have been doing aerobics twice a week.
9.Met with alot of childhood friends that I hadn't seen in ages
10. Had lunch at Movenpick with my spiritual father it was awesome!
11. Read approximately 50 books, some bestsellers others christian.

 Crazy stuff  I did in 2011:
 1. Ate sushi ( yeah it's crazy for a typical African)
 2. Rode on a motobike several times
 3. Watched  Korean series
 4. Catwalked at a fashion show organized by my church

Conclusion: It was a pretty much interesting year, next year would be better and crazier.

Day after 11/11/11

I am still alive yipee! It's more than 24hrs after the end of the world and I'm blogging. Did something happen and I was left behind or is this an imaginary life? This semester has been hectic for me, I have read more than eight literary classics and one of the strangest one is entitled 'La vida es sueno' where the protagonist is drugged and put in different locations to test his character. In the end he is confused and can not distinguish between reality and illusion. Maybe it is the same case here lol. I think people became obsessed with the Apocalypse  in 2006 on the 06/06/06 day. I remember I was in school and had friends who had not slept the night before and had been on the net researching on all types of conspiracy theories. So,that morning assembly was more serious than ever people were seriously praying,others were whispering and I remember our librarian had come with so much printed theories about the end of the world. Truthfully, some of them were very convincing like the calculation of 'http' equaled to '666' and several others. Even, I became infected with the bug I spent hours on the net researching on the 'illuminati' and other conspiracy theories. I learnt a whole lot but sometimes felt scared, nervous and confused.
But, 06/06/06 has gone and now 11/11/11 has passed by and the world is still rotating on its axis. I'm seriously not anticipating the end of the world on 2012!  Today is a day after the expected Apocalypse and I'm writing happily because my big brother just graduated. Congrats! Life is still ongoing make the most of it. See you guys next year!!
