Their Choice, Their Life!

Overtime, I have seen and heard people debate other people's choices, they go on and on about it and eventually they conclude if it's rational or irrational, moral or immoral, religiously acceptable or unacceptable, they have all indices and matrices to come to their often pointless conclusion.

I was fortunate or unfortunate- depends on the perspective, to be in a midst of people who seemed to be discussing about how a graduate got married to a male driver. The ladies were  married too and they just couldn't fathom why any 'rational' lady would 'stoop so low' to marry a man of such standard. Wetin concern you?

Crawling back to the Cross

It's quite sad that I wasn't able to do a post on the church wedding at which I officiated as a member of the choir yesterday and its going to be inappropriate on a Sunday but hopefully next week Saturday I'll do a late post on it.

Straight to the business for the day,  I saw a 'line' on my colleagues (a person I respect and admire so much) bbm personal message, and I was inspired to do a post on it.

The Quest For a Perfect Life (1)

I came to my blog/scrapbook and met a ghost of what it should be. I'm a bit rueful of the fact that I haven't put up a post this week; it has been mostly due to my state of health. I fell slightly Ill during the week- I'm still yet to figure if was a physical illness, as all possible tests came back negative, or a psychological illness that comes with my job.

At some point I'll figure out what it really is, right now I will prepare to sleep whilst I think of a possible write up for today.

In the midst of all my thoughts, I had just laid on the mattress and lay my head on the pillow, ready to make my eyelids enjoy a long kiss as I retire for the night(since no write up ideas were coming), when I stumbled on this picture...

Get Past the Past

God, in all wisdom, gave us a face and a default onward vision, but a lot of people,like the biblical Lot, will rather strain their necks to look back.

There's nothing wrong, if you cast a glance at events that took place in the past, how it has affected your present and what you can do to make it shape your future positively.

From Abby with Love and Reason...

Dear ladies,

I know you are in a relationship and totally in love with him that it 'feels' like you are married already.

Congratulations dear but...

...Keep your options open till he puts a ring on it.

Keeping your options open doesn't mean you should flirt and go to bed with every member of the opposite sex, it simply means staying committed to the one you are presently with but not discarding nor mistreating other prospects.

The Beauty of an Unfair Life

I sashayed into the office after going through the checks of the man trap security- bursting with energy, full of life and highly expectant for the day's business, I stepped in, and saw clusters of staff members all looking morose and speaking in low tones... I didn't know what exactly happened, but I was certain it was a sad event. As a green horn in this sector I had never experienced a downsizing event so I didn't have a clue.
It was done, the first quarter had passed and the least performers had been relieved of their jobs. A friend of ours was affected and apparently didn't resume today. Morale was low as grumpy staff all pretended to be busy and endless series of complaints filled the atmosphere.

Over troubled Waters....

I sat down in a public transport heading back to my humble abode from my tasking 8-5 job ( mostly 6am-7pm tho), I stared keenly at the waters below the bridge that leads to Eko bridge and it glazed, and clear like a crystal it seemed like I could see missing pieces of my core.

I was reminded of all the things I cherished but I had somehow stopped doing because of other demands of life. Well, I know I am often superficially happy but there was a lacuna that could not be filled no matter how I feigned happiness. One of such things is putting down my thoughts, hence, as I drowned in my thoughts over troubled waters came the birth of ESMAbi.

No, this blog is not supposed to be about writing buzz-traffic-generating articles. It doesn't fall into any of the regular niche blogging neither is it a mass blogging kind of blog. It's not going to give you the latest updates; stick to LIB for that.

ESMAbi is about me, myself, my thoughts, my opinions, my articles of interest. It's gon be vast, fun, sometimes controversial, sometimes pointless, but regardless, you can leave your comment in the comment box and trust me to publish cause it's not about perception, it's about reality... and I promise to keep it real to the bones!

Welcome as you begin a movie showing the Endless Shades of MaryAnne Abby!
