Dear blogDiary,
"I am an optimist. It does not seem too much use being anything else."
- Winston Churchill
Everyday, i read one blog or the other and it seems like almost everyone is a blogger. I am fascinated by the talents i see on the internet. This is my 1st post. i am used to being on the side of the site commenting on other people's blog. It feels so different having to write my own blog. I love to comment to posts that interest me and i have decided to make my blog a random blog. I can't really specify what will be posted as i love to put down anything that comes to my mind. It is guaranteed that you will see pictures of food sometimes as i love to cook. i can also decide to post pictures and songs that interest me on a particular day. Isn't that what blogging is supposed to be? to express yourself however you want it.
Back to my introduction, People say am crazy, funny, nice but i say I am Me. Who i am is not my name, its my personalty, my character and my standards. I care about how you feel but don't that for granted. I say whats on my mind when i feel it is necessary and important to do so. Call me weird but i call myself Oyinda. I am not perfect but i stride towards it.
I have a mother who not only tries to show me the way forward but leads me on as well. The strongest woman i have met. Everyday, i wonder how my life would be without her. She is my role model, the one woman i look up to for even prayers. I love my Mum so very much. My Father is the best man in my life. I feel so lucky to be my father's only daughter and princess. My father hardly says 'No' to me except on the issue of the opposite sex- we all know how our nigerian parents can be especially those that go home as often as possible lol- he tells me no guy friends or intimate relationship until i graduate from the university. I understand where he is coming from because everything he warned me about when i was young, i see happening around me and I am grateful to God that i have a Father to advise me. I remember when i was 15years and i had just graduated from secondary school in Nigeria. My mum was talking to me about marriage and how to keep a man. She also gave me a book titled " 70 indispensable truths about marriage" that talked about marriage issues. My dad wasn't too happy about it and called me immediately after i was done talking to my mum and started advising me about the opposite sex and sex itself. He also gave me a book titled " Don't do it until you say I do" which talked about abstinence and when the appropriate time to start thinking about guys is. I found the whole situation so funny especially because of the way it all played out. But am so very much happy because all these knowledge have been so useful in my daily life.
Oh My Daze!!! I almost forgot my two brothers. lol. thats not true. how can i ever forget them? They are too important to be forgotten. My immediate younger brother is just so amazing. So carefree that i just want to smack him sometimes but i couldn't ask for anyone better. even though he is 2 years younger than me, He is so matured and has a complete and strong mind of his own. He definitely inspires me a lot. He has a way of making me have a reality check on my life. People say he is the finest in the family after my dad. wow what an insult. hehe.. oh i forgot to add that he is super smart. I feel like he is really growing and thats scary for me. oh well i was once his age. People are bound to change. Change we all know is the only constant thing. Lest i forget, the baby of the house !! most times he just does certain things that make me wanna beat him up or send him to a nigerian boarding school for some training. But i realize that he is growing as well and am supposed to take his present attitude as part of his age. More reason why am hardly bothered when he acts so rude sometimes. I know he will definitely outgrow it.
This is the lovely environment that i grew up in and has shaped me into who i am. My mentality, standards, personalty and character are as a result of my upbringing. Luckily, i am also surrounded by wonderful friends who have taught me several lessons in life. We may not be perfect but we good enough for each other. I love my life and the people in it. I am who i am partially because of the people around me and mostly because i have a mind of my own.
Anyways my time is up for today as i have to make dinner for the family. This is just the beginning of our lives together. Stay Safe.
Yours truly,
Oyinda
