As A Sunday Sunday Christian...

Today, I have a word of advice for you, my dear friends. I may not, at the moment, be able to take this advice, for reasons best known to me, but I strongly urge you to (like my use of english? I've been reading the dictionary). Pay rapt attention to the story below (read carefully).

I went to church at 10am, thinking I was really early for 2nd service. I get there and it's crazy full. Just as I lean back to chill for "1st" service to be over, the usher goes "Let me get you a seat, it's a combined service". Meaning it started at 8:00am. Crappppp!!! You don't know my church, so you don't get. It's HUUUGGGEEEEE! And she takes me to sit in front? How wicked can she be?

I felt so stupid, 'cause as I made my way to the front, as silently as possible, I realised everyone was staring at me and looking at their watches. I could almost hear their thoughts "How can she come to church at this time, sinner oshi!", "Look at her face, she must have been busy rubbing pancake" *Mschewwwwww* as if they were any better. I could point out the ones that were at Play and Aristotle last night (don't ask me how I know, a good amebo never reveals her sources!). But I felt stupid all the same. Fortunately, I had invited a friend to church, so I wasn't alone. We felt stupid together!

My advice? See why you should attend mid-week services? So when they make important announcements, you hear and act accordingly. As I said, I may not go to church on week days, but I beseech thee, do not be like me O people. Work is crazy, but I'm trying to work something out. So, for those of you that go to my church (you know yourselves), please help a sister out, so she doesn't look stupid next time.

A word is enough for the wise.

Have a lovely week y'all.

On To The Next One...

Yaay! My second post, and I'm still excited. Just got home from church, tired, but I've got stuff to tell you...

Alright, on to the review I promised. Hmmmm...who's seen The Hurt Locker? No worries, I won't spoil it for those of you who haven't.

It's not a bad movie. Infact, it's really good! It started off looking like a documentary, and kinda stayed that way till the end. As I heard (and read), it's a tribute to the EOD (Explosive Ordnance Disposal) experts in the middle-east that deal with deactivating IEDs (Improvised Explosive Devices) on a daily basis. Sounds a bit boring right? Blame my grammer! Go watch the movie, you won't ever forget it.

At some point, I totally forgot it was a movie (that was probably the point anyways) and my heart went out to soldiers all over the world...people actually deactivate bombs on a daily basis? As Specialist Sanborn said in the movie, they go out each day knowing it's one of two things;you live or you die. They know this, yet they do it everyday. How? I cannot. And I know so many people who cannot.

A minute of silence for all the soldiers who lost their lives trying to make the streets safe for us.

Well...today's a public holiday here in Naija, so no work for me today (hurray!!!). I promised myself I would get a lot of sleep, but thanks to PHCN (the guys in charge of light in nigeria), that didn't work out well! The heat was horrible...sweat, sweat and more sweat!

Then I went to church, singles fellowship...AWESOME! We saw this movie; Facing the giants. Reminded me of so many promises in God's word; Nothing is impossible with him, He's the God that opens doors and no man can shut.

By the way, did you know that God said 365 times in his word, Do not fear? Wow...

Oh, I also had the best-tasting butterscotch ice-cream ever! Sweet! It just rolled off my tongue, smooth as velvet, down my throat, into my tummy...I can still taste it...delicious!

Anyhoos, I thank you father for a beautiful day, and for all the stuff you reminded me about today. I love you and I always will, no matter the circumstance. If I win, I will praise you. If I lose, I will praise you. I pray that you bless the individual reading this post, and do something wonderful in his/her life. Amen...

Yours truly,

Amebo!

At Long Last!

Creating a blog is no small task! Even when it's a 3-step (or however many step) process. It took me practically the whole day to set this up.

Hey, not that I'm dumb, or not technologically savvy...I just had a lot to do at work, and doing this on the side was quite tasking.

I had to do a lot of research, the best blogging tools to use, take some quizzes to test my readiness to start blogging, read so many how-to's, whys, and tips on blogging.

At the end of the day, I can't say I remember a single word I read. Hmmmm....nope,I don't! But who cares, I'm doing this anyways!

I got you reading, so I must be doing something right....yaaay! And who knows, I just might write my own "how to blog" article in the future. We'll see.

On a lighter note, hi guys! (Should have said that earlier, forgive my manners). All I'll do is talk and talk and talk and talk...and give you the 411 on what's hot and what's not, what movies to watch and those to avoid, on where to buy what, and where to sell what, on how to do this or that...you'll find I'm very knowlegeable (hope I spelt that right) or usually, I always know somebody that knows somebody that knows...

Not that this is a directory or anything. At all! It's just a place where I tell all and hear all (from you guys I hope!). No secrets from me and none from you...so help us God!

Right now, I just got in from work. I'm sooo tired, but I'm thinking of unwinding with a cup of ice-cream and the movie "The Hurt Locker"...heard it got 9 Oscar nominations, I can't wait to see it! Off I go...Reviews on that tomorrow!

Till then, I remain yours faithfully
