Expressions and Thoughts

Okay, so I decided to create my own blog, one of the reasons is that sometimes, I feel I have a lot to say, and thanks to time and situations, i end up not saying all I want to say, just when I want to say it, and how I want to say it. Do I hear someone say ‘thank goodness, one less talkative out of the way’? :(

Well, not that I am the type that loves talking (to the extent that it almost becomes blabbing), but most times, I feel the need to speak my mind exactly as it is, without having to feel restricted and concerned that I may be talking too much or sharing more than I ought to. Well, its true that one of the tests of knowledge is the ability to know the right thing to say at the right time, of which I completely agree with. (so, following those moments, I can rush here and pen down my thoughts) *smiles*

You see, I have been in a situation where I have met people, and they immediately start sharing a lot of personal stuff.  First things first, I can confidently say a lot has to do with my willingness to lend a listening ear, and my concern for people, which shows through my demeanor. I am almost certain I would make a very good counselor (chuckling to myself). At this point, it is important to note that I do not go around looking like one of those ‘inflatable happy face’ moving cartoon characters, neither do I move about looking like the Grinch, but most times, I maintain a straight face if I happen to be walking alone, and other times, I look so serious, to the extent that one of my lecturers once told me that I looked intimidating with the look that was on my face…little did I know he was watching me. (putting up my straight face)

Anyway, from time to time, I have heard a few of my friends tell me how stuck up and stiff I often times appear to be from a distance, but when they get close, they get to see how warm I really am. *wink*. Once upon a time, one of my best friends, Princess told me that before we became friends, she used to see me as an uptight, conceited, vein and snobbish young lady. Hmmm…she was extremely surprised to find out that I am the total opposite of what she had thought. My oh my… this goes to show why it’s utterly wrong to judge people from a distance.

Okay, okay, okay, I am not trying to sell myself, for some that may think I am trying to do that. I really feel it would be a good idea to share a little bit about myself. But seriously, sometimes, I wonder why people tend to judge others from afar. I would not say I am a complete saint on that issue, but I can honestly say that over the years, I have come to understand that it’s not what’s on the outside that matters, but what’s on the inside that counts.

Like they say, ‘you don’t judge a book by its cover’. It is important to note however, that some people have perfected the art of pretense and camouflaging, that you never really know what they are capable of doing, until they strike. May God deliver me from such people (okay, may God deliver us, not just me). Wow, here I am drifting away again. *grins*

Back to my introduction :)

So, I created this blog to share my experiences, thoughts and just about anything exciting. I would also post interesting stuff and interesting articles and pieces from time to time. 

Wait a minute... what or who gave me the idea to do this? In all honesty, my dearest friend, Adaora, who has suddenly given herself an alias, Sasha B (whatever that means) was the first person to suggest creating my own blog, because she sees me as a role model, and would want to share my thoughts. (I can picture her eyes growing wide open at this. Hahaha) At the time she mentioned it, I calmly brushed the idea aside. However, I have come to agree that blogging would definitely help to channel all my extra energy and excitement, which basically have nowhere to go. (awww… poor things).  It is basically an avenue for my thoughts and expressions.

So, with these few points of mine, I hope I have been able to convince you and not to confuse you that I have added blogging to my new past time. lol. But why I am I even ‘loling’… this lol slang has really become one of the mostly used three letter words of the 21^st century. Some people don’t even know what it means. For some, it means ‘loads of love’, for some, it means ‘lots of luck’, for others, it’s ‘lots of laughs’, and someone even said it means ‘large ostrich labia’. Lol… sorry, I meant large ostrich labia. In the case of my mum, she was already using it before she even knew what it meant… large ostrich labia. Hahaha.

Hmm... I have to say that I am not particularly internet or tech savvy, but I do know my way around the necessary bits ;). I also hope to improve my technical skills as time goes by.

Hush...back to the topic. I would be sharing some fun stuff here, and would also love to use this blog to interact. So, feel free to share your thoughts too. Seat back and enjoy the ride ;)
