My every thot.....
I like it how we chill, i like our conversation
I'm dealing with this feeling of infatuation
Pacing, don't want to force the situation
Waiting for your next move, no hesitation
I'm thinking maybe, this could turn into something more
I'm feeling you and you've got me open for sure
I'm hoping that the feelings are mutual
Trying to hold off but i want you to know
I'm addicted to you
I can't fight it cos i rather like it
My every thot is you.

In other words
I love these words....
Let me play amongst the stars
Let me see what spring is like
Hold my hand, kiss me
Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all that i long for
All i worship and adore
In other words, please be true
Let me play amongst the stars
Let me see what spring is like
Hold my hand, kiss me
Fill my heart with song
Let me sing for ever more
You are all that i long for
All i worship and adore
In other words, please be true
You were lost but...
A friend came back into my life today after about 2months absence. Welcome back and hope you stick around this time.
Conspiracy theories
It was put to me today by a very intelligent girl (please note the use of girl cos she calls me boy) that we might all be wrapped up in a movement without allowing ourselves the liberty of understanding the reason for the euphoria that has gripped the whole world: Barak Obama!
My very dear conspiracy theorist put it to me that Barak Obama might be THE ANTI-CHRIST!
Stop laughing, stop! i initially laughed when she told me bearing in mind that she did not want to say it but i reached down her guts and yanked it out of her.
Think though? could it be true? The bible does tell us that there would be a great movement worldwide and people will be spell bound when the anti-christ speaks. Ask yourself, why are you taken in by this man? what is it about him that is so captivating, wanting you to rout for him? Why now more than ever has there been such focus by the world on one man, the man who might be the next leader of the free world?
I am not for one minute saying that my conspiracy theorist is right but i will not look the other way and ignore what she has said. Funny as it might be to you, think about it? If you are a bible reading christian, investigate your position on this and look at what the bible says?
It is possible it is all airy-fairy stuff but for one moment, give her the benefit of the doubt and allow yourself wonder, WHAT IF SHE IS RIGHT?

As things stand
It seems like everytime i am absent from the office, some major drama unfolds. Well you see, my company is struggling financially and yesterday, a company that specializes in looking into company financies and deciding whether to call in the administrators were present yesterday, poking their noses into the company accounts.
Now i am not naive, when companies like that come in, it generally means you are on your last legs and the fact that they had come in makes me sad. I am left praying that the sell-out option that the board have been working on comes through cos i like the people i work with and it will be sad to see people get laid off.
I believe the company has about 14days to get the buy out sorted. I will keep y'all posted.

It's for you, yes, you
You can't ignore what you felt when our pair of eyes met
And as cliche as it sounds, it is destiny for us to be together
God's joke is driving me wild; bringing you into my life
But his plan is for us to stay together, despite the things we have gone through in other lives
We hug as we listen to coldplay, the music to the movement of this thing called love
I feel like we are supposed to shine
Your laughter brightening my entire life
I am not asking for much of you
Just want you to explore this life with me
Cos i am sure divine intervention will take place
When you rest your love in me.

Deserting a sinking ship
For some time now, the company i work for has been struggling financially. You see, i work in the building industry, in a field that carries alot of risks. In the building trade, many materials are adaptable on site but in the facade design and engineering field, you make a mistake and you pay dearly.
Main contractors decided a long time ago not to take on the risks, hence the market for specialist sub-contractors that design and install the glass facades of buildings. The average lifespan of companies in this field is 15yrs.
So much for the brief story. As those of you who read my blog will know, i am actually doing a masters degree in Facade engineering and my company has picked up the bill for this. The great thing about this course is there are only 135 people in the UK industry with this qualifications with only 3 Universities in the world offering this course so from the day you start the course, companies start to sound you out with offers.
I have been lucky as well to have been made a few offers and have some companies wanting to talk to me. Here is my dilema. I know i have to leave my company for three reasons:-
1. My qualification will mean that i will be over qualified to remain with my present company
2. The money being offered by other companies, especially outside the UK is crazy
3. The company looks like it is going down
The other side of the above is the fact that the company has been really good to all the staff in the past and there are projects ongoing right now that the company needs me to be around to work on.
Just the other day, our MD called all the staff together to update us, letting us know that things were really bad but if we all work together, we can pull through. I have been looking to move on but his speech hit me where my conscience resides.
Can i still give 100% knowing the things i know and understanding that i will be leaving? Hard as i try, i am loosing the will to continue and this strike at the heart of my sence of gratitude.
Am i being selfish, pursuing future career growth while the company that helped give me that opportunity is struggling?

In my moments of weakness
Does being a man mean i have no moments of weakness?
Why are my moments of weakness taken to mean that i am weak?
There are days when my strength fails me
Try as hard as i can, i wilt in the face of mounting pressures
I am down but not out, rode about and weary
yet i am holding on
I reach out to you in my own way,
voice trembling beneath my mountains of worries
Tried to put it out so you could feel me
looking to you to hold me down
Man or woman, we have moments of weaknesses
In mine, please reach out to me
It is only for tonight
It will be all over in the morning.

I passed
My people, i passed.
With all the shakara that paper 2 did to me, i passed. Now, i have to face writing my 20,000 word dissertation.
It has been a 2008 to remember already. So many things have happened to me this year and i know that God is looking down on me everyday, reminding me all the time that i will be ok, no matter what the night brings, it will be all over in the morning.
Meanwhile, a belated valentines day to you all. So what did you do on that day?
I spent mine in school and on the road back home (3.5hrs of driving), Olivia did not complain that she did not get anything though. That is why our thing works out so well. She is a blessing.
i have so much to tell you all but i am at work right now and it has been hectic to understate things. I must have aged 10yrs this morning alone.
I am finally back to popping in everyday now so keep checking in. I have loads for my people.

Yawah - Paper 2!
As we got into the massive exam hall, we all noticed that our seat numbers had been re-shuffled again. It was not enough that the space between each student was as much as 5m, we were made to move sits.
Anyway, i was confident that i would nail paper 2, after all, paper 1 was the paper i least prepared for and i walked it.
"You can start now", the lecturer belowed. I had a plan, since the paper was in 3 sections and we were meant to answer 4 questions in 2hrs, i was going to answer 2 questions in section A, 1 from section B and 1 from section C.
Omo, when i open the first page, i read all the questions in section A and thought, wahala don come. I skip section A and move to section B but bros, nothing for your boy! Quickly, i move go section C then saw a question i could answer and started with that one.
By the time i finished that question, i went back to section A. By now, fluid had started flowing through my brain again so i was getting into the exams. Each question i must add has babies ie question 1 will have questions 1a, b, c, d, e, f and g. I answered question 1 of section A but got stuck on question 1f so i moved to question 2 of section A. By the time i got to question 2e, alarm begin blow, brain stop to dey function again.
Check am, as i no fit proceed with question 2, i move go section B, where i answer the question half way before brain jump start again. I quickly go back go question 1 to finish off but as i dey on the last question, i heard "Drop your pens"! Say who die! I try write again but the lecturer give me one dirty look, i drop the pen.
Inside me, i started to panick until i reach outside when i see people dey complain sey na only 2 questions dem fit answer. Overall, i know i will pass but i was caught out by this exam. At last weeks lectures, the number of my colleagues that have filled out mitigating circumstances forms don number 8, complaining they were ill, too busy with work etc and had problems studying.
This friday, we will all be given our results.
Pray for me
