Day 30 - One Thing I'm Excited For

Follow me @Nolimit2life I'm excited about the future, the possibilities, the opportunities, the new lease on life. Truth be told, the sky is not the limit! Heaven is the limit do you understand why my name is NoLimit now:)? I'm also excited about the fact that I made it to DAY 30! I may not have been as consistent as I wanted to, but at least I've been able to convince myself that I can see something through to the end! So here is to you that read this through till day 30 and bore with my inconsistencies ... sending :*kisses and massive hugs your way!

Day 29 Five(5) Weird Things That I Like

Follow me @Nolimit2life Hmmm don't know if I like weird things but whatever! I'm just going to list 5 things I like in no particular order. 1. I like bouncy castles for kids! Yes I remember when we had a BBQ in my church and Aloted came with Bionic, I got into the bouncy castle using Bionic as excuse!!! :D I just had to bounce in there lol! 2. I like my peace and quiet when I'm indoors! A friend of mine was shocked to realise I don't really like chit chatting when I'm indoors, okay not that I don't chitchat indoors but sometimes I just want to unwind and be left alone to me and my thoughts! I'm naturally a bubbly being but I love my ME time and God help you if you cross me when I'm trying to have one. Plus I love to relate with people outside and then come back home to reflect and just enjoy the memories... is that weird enough? 3. You realise how hard this is right? I like people watching... yeah just that! Sit in the middle of a busy mall an

Day 28 - Somewhere I Would Like To Move To Or Visit.

Image
Follow me @Nolimit2life These are two different questions so let's not get it mixed up! I would love to move back home hopefully soon... home being NAIJA! Lagos or Abuja thank you! What I've realised is visiting Naij is totally different from living there! Oh it is wayyyy different, for one, it's touch and go for a visitor, but for a resident of Naij, you just have to open up your mind to get used to it all and when I say "it", I mean everything *sigh* and for the place I would love to visit often? that would be the Caribbs...Lawd I was somewhere close to Antigua a while back and boy o boy did I have a whale of a time, it was this fabulous resort right by the Atlantic ocean, Lord the beach, the food, the air, the people, the drinks... the... I hope I get to visit resorts like this more often, it is definitely great for the brain!For real! I hear Gambia and Mombassa are great locations too...I look forward to checking them out soon! Chillaxing  unlimited!:

Day 27 A Quote I Try To Live By

Follow me @Nolimit2life This should be easy. I don't know the context Shakespeare used it but it is a motto for me! And I try to live by it. The quote or should I say one of the quotes I try to live by is "To thine own self be true"! In other words, you can lie to people, people can lie to you but don't lie to yourself. Be true to who you are, don't lose yourself in the madness called modern life. I totally get the concept of "fake it till you make it" and it works so I won't and can't knock it. I also know that while faking it till you make it, it is important to not lose touch with the real you. The "you" underneath the business suit; who you are when no one is looking really matters. I try to live by this principle and sometimes I fail but you know what, I just dust my self up and move on!

Day 26 Things I Like And Dislike About Myself

Follow me @Nolimit2life Well I guess we all have things we like or dislike about ourselves. I'm going to blog about just one particular thing and yes I'm summarising 'cos I will type till tomorrow if I start! Let's not open pandora's box okay? Right so there's something I like about myself that I dislike at the same time depending on the situation at hand. I like the fact that I don't now how to keep malice... Yet I dislike this too! The longest time I ever kept malice was two weeks and that was because I had a fight with a relative and travelled some minutes later, let's just say I didn't have a great trip. Immediately I got back, I sorted it out and my heart felt lighter again. Yes I like and dislike this fact about me!

Day 25 Something I'm currently worrying about

Follow me @Nolimit2life If it was past tense, I probably would have dragged up a list of things I worried about. But now, I'm afraid I'm not worried about anything, no nothing, non, nada!

Day 24 Five Words or Phrases That Make Me Laugh

Follow me @Nolimit2life Many words/phrase make me laugh! I'm a collector of great humour(words, stories, videos, music, poems and all whatnots)! I don't mind sharing some with you:) Enjoy! 1. That moment when you feel like a mosquito in a nudist camp! describing abundance in crude terms lol 2. You're dressed for royal Ascot yet you look like a royal Mascot (PS: I coined this one...I should patent it!) 3. Why you come squeeze face like monkey wey lick lime! - ( rooftop MCs) That's just wack! Imagine the scenario!lol 4.I nullify every calorific powers in (Nigerian) vegetable soup! Got that from a video a friend sent to me, it was hilarious! 5.

My blog, MY RULEZ! lol Oh the next 5 may not be funny but they reek of sarcasm-ish! 6.  They don't call them "

Day 23; Something That I Miss

Follow me @Nolimit2life Let me tell you a story! When I was an undegrad, I had this group of friends that I hung out with come rain come shine, it was just great to be in their company, good people, great food and fantastic convos. Then one day, the students or was it lecturers now?  decided to strike and we were all told to go home. Now this was my firsgt year and I felt totally "grown up" or so I thought. My friends and I stayed back for a couple of days but nothing changed, school was still closed. They decided to go home to Lagos but I was still feeling like an "independent" woman plus the fact that once I'm home, my "movement" will be monitored and curtailed decided to stay back. This decision stood for a total of 48hrs or less after which I packed my bag and went home too! So what made me change my mind you ask.... well I started missing my friends and it was a pain so real it was almost physical! At that point in time, I decided to go h

Day 22 My Academics

Follow me @Nolimit2life Yes. What about it???

Day 21 How I Hope My Future Will Be Like

Follow me @Nolimit2life Wow! I hope my future is as bright and beautiful as heavens has declared and decreed it will be. I hope my future will see me making effective impact that will change the lives of generations. My hopes for the future is mega! Hmmm I've successfully said something by saying nothing! I knowww

Day 20 My Fears

Follow me @Nolimit2life I have non! I used to have this fear of failure stemming from that major " what if " I talked about here, but the more I roll with Christ, the more I realise that I just can't fail! See setbacks may occur but as long as you rise again, you're a winner already.

Day 19: Five Items I lust After AKA Five Items I DROOL Over!

Image
Follow me @Nolimit2life I promise to say/type the truth and nothing but the truth! Lust is not healthy, so in other for me to do justice to this post, I have retitled it :) truth is I drool over a lot of things depending on my mood! So one sec it is this beautiful house on the cover of a magazine, then it is a beautiful Balenciaga bag, then a very sexy body on a handsome dude, then it's a flat surfboard ab on a girl, or a stack of very hard currency... *sigh* you see where I'm going with this right? The list is endless! Howeverrrr, I will do my best to pick 5 things I drool over in no particular order! Right let's go! 1. Shoes I love good shoes and a girl can never have enough shoes in my opinion! Photo Credit: www.burberry.com 2. Beautiful homes! *sigh* ... Lord you see my heart!!!:) Photo Credit: www.primelocation.com 3. Good food! I'm a closet foodie, I love good food! I would rather eat designer food than wear de

Day 18: A Problem You Have That

Follow me @Nolimit2life One of the definitions of a problem in the dictionary is: Any q uestion   or   matter   involving   doubt ,  uncertainty,   or   difficulty. Now based on this definition, I can categorically say that I've had my fair share of problems! (this saying reminds me of "oga at the top"!!!) Now where do  I begin? Or which of them should I talk about? Man problem? Education Problem? "Walk with God" problem? Work problem? Oyinbo problem? Anyways all I can say is, God keeps delivering me from every problem!  

Day 17 Something I'm Proud Of

Follow me @Nolimit2life Let's see, I'm proud of many things. But the one thing I'm proud of is  God given ability to "bounce back". See we all go through stuff, life happens but you know what, we all have to keep it moving! I'm amazed at the grace I've been given to bounce back. I can't begin to recount what I've gone through, what I'm going through etc but you know what? My hope lies heavily on the fact that His grace is sufficient for me. I thrive on it, rely totally on it, live by it and seriously I'm extremely proud of it! So here is my bold announcement; please note that I say this with all humility and I can only say it boldly because of Christ's grace!!! I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet You shoot me down, but I get up I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose Fire away, fire away Ricochet, you take your aim Fire away, fire away You shoot me down but I won't fall I am titanium Cut me down But it'

Day 16 - Something I Always Think "What If" About

Follow me @Nolimit2life When I read this title, I understood why I stopped but you know what NO MORE! The main what if that runs through my mind is: 1. What If I Fail... you see when you don't know who you are and whose you are, this questions can be depressing, but I've come to learn that it doesn't matter, so long as I don't measure my success by what man says it is.Obviously there's more to success than money, otherwise we won't have rich people who commit suicide... the list is endless. So when going into a new venture/ Territory and that "what if" fear grips me, I remember what the "owner" of my life say here : "Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid and do not panic before them. For the LORD your God will personally go ahead of you. He will neither fail you nor abandon you."! He said He won't fail nor abandon me so seriously I just need to believe it He says what He means and means what He says. Ps I just

Day 15 - My Zodiac Horsocope And I If I Feel It Fits My Personality

Follow me @Nolimit2life What I said about horoscope and palm readers here  STILL STANDS. I'm not even going to address this finito!

Day14: what I wore today

Follow me @Nolimit2life So this relates to what I wore on 14/06/2013 ... well I had a "big" meeting so I dressed formally! I wore a purple 3/4 sleeved fitted shirt from Hawes&Curtis with a black pencil skirt from Zara and a pair of black T-Bar heels from Oasis  and I looked like a woman on a mission which was and still is the plan! Hmmmm that was short!

Day 13 - My Opinion About My Body And How Comfortable I Am With It

Follow me @Nolimit2life Well it's my body, I live in it, I may not like some parts but hey, I've been living in it for over THREE DECADES, I think it will be unwise to not accept it for what it is... so yes it is what it is. Oh for the records, I'm not tolerating my body! I actually love it, it wasn't always like that. While growing up, there was always one part or the other to gripe about, but when I look back at old pictures etc, I wonder and ask myself in amazement what the fuss was all about. The truth is, you project your insecurities whether you like to admit it or not. Nobody knows your nose is too big till you start highlighting that detail, people are just too selfish to think about you first. You think I'm lying? Okay if or when you take a group picture, who do you check out first? your friend? big lie! you check yourself out first and then you look at others lol So you see, people are too engrossed in themselves to bother about your flat chest, yo

Day 12 - Five Guys I Find Attractive...

Follow me @Nolimit2life Woohoo this topic is quite interesting! wouldn't you want to know the 5 guys NoLimit finds attractive? *Rolling My Eyes* In my previous post , I talked about people who were and are still real to me. In this post, I will talk about famous people you can check out and this is based solely on what I see i.e. the personality they present to the WWW not who they really are in private... This is meant to be fun so I'm not going to go all stuffy on ye all! That is as abstract as it gets. 1.King David - A guy that can "pour forth" such lyrics is attractive to me! lol Plus he was a bloke, I know 'cos the Bible says so! What were you thinking? Heeheehee I bet some peops are giving me some looooonnngggg hiss now!:P chillax it gets better 2. Dixon in 90210 ....Cut me some slack I didn't say I want to "jump" him all I said was he is attractive! He has the cutest smile ever! 3. Chris Attoh ... I knowww it's getting hot i

Day11 - My Family

Follow me @Nolimit2life I know I know i know! I've been AWOL again, but tbh my reasons are valid! Trust me, I will share the gist with you when the time is right! Let's just say, the storm is over!:) Okay back to my post... There's this saying that your family members are friends bestowed on you... you didn't choose them, you just happened to be there but friends are families we choose... Well I'm paraphrasing but you understand what I mean. I love my family and friends and I totally appreciate them. They are my support system, the ones I can count on and rely on to be there for me at 2am in the morning. The ones I can mail at 6am to check my presentation for me! The ones that will tell me the truth no matter how hurtful it is. I hear of how people get shafted by their friends, how they get misguided by their families, how friends and families destroy each other but you know what? I'm thankful that God has blessed me with good people! I don't even

Day 9: How Important I Think Education Is

Follow me @Nolimit2life Education is the best gift you can ever give a child. It is weird, I just had a dream between 6 pm and 10 pm today. In my dream, there was this woman married to a man who believed educating women was a waste of time! Yet the woman is an advocate for education for women! I truly wonder what this dream means but it was kind of weird. Maybe I thought about this topic so much that it turned to a dream or maybe it really means something. Okay good people, let me know if you know what the dream means 'cos I honestly don't! Well it is not news that I'm passionate about education and injustice . You see I can actually link the two; It is important to get an education to reduce injustice. When you are educated, knowledge is imparted into you, information is revealed to you and this brings you out of ignorance to a new light. Education is meant to throw light into whatever darkness it is you're trying to expose be it engineering, law, music, fashi

Day 8 What I Ate The Whole Day

Image
Follow me @Nolimit2life Like I said in the last post, please pray with me!(I really mean it)! Someone offended me and as you know, God said in His words that " vengeance is mine " Yes I really want God to avenge and vindicate me and we all know that the best form of revenge against your enemy is SUCCESS! So yes this week, I want victory, yes that's what I want from the most high! I want to be able to come here and testify about God's goodness and mercy! About His faithfulness and how he turns things around regardless of what man may try to do! Guys please take this seriously! Anyways back to my post, as a result of this "offence", I kind of lost my appetite and didn't really eat much:) I know, I've never been this angry and disappointed at another human before or may be I have but I just can't remember right now! So in the morning, I had cereal (Just right) was off to make my hair so I branched at the grillers, recommended to me by a

Day 7 Five Pet Peeves

Follow me @Nolimit2life Hey all, today was a stressful, I really hope that I can look at this particular day in the future and give God thanks for His kindness! Please say a prayer for me for God's mercy and favour. Now back to my 30 day challenge, I have thought this out properly and in no particular order, my 5 pet peeves are: 1.Mouth Odour/Body Odour ... "Dude you need mint"; "Please do you have mint? I think my breathe stinks!!!" Well that is usually me to my friends. I am kind of the "odour police" I don't understand how people go around with very bad breath and stinking body odour and expect people to carry on as usual! No dude! It isn't okay for you to put your armpit in someone's face during rush hour even though your armpit stinks so much it can make people faint! Mouth odour is usually a sign that something is "dentally" wrong, please don't take it lightly. 2.People who blast their music on the train! Serio

Day 6 My views on Mainstream Music

Follow me @Nolimit2life Like I said in the previous post , I have no opinion per say on this matter. Who classified it as mainstream anyways? There are only two types of music I'm afraid i.e.. GOOD or BAD music! So it don't matter if it's main stream, upstream, downstream, underground, overground, cult music; whatever it is called, it is either good or bad simples!( In conk American accent) I know some totally hate mainstream music 'cos it's been commercialised yaddy yaddy yadda! But hey, why the evils :P Next time you listen to music, listen with an open mind and judge for yourself if it is good or bad. PS: Did I tell you I have ears for spotting a chat topper? Okay I just did! xoxo Ciao

Day 5 - Things I Want To Say To An Ex!!! (It Gets Better!!!)

Follow me @Nolimit2life Yes it sure does get better lol! So now I have to write to an ex and really give them a piece of my church mind! Cool leeggoo! I'm so upset with myself right now because I wrote this earlier in the day but now, I apparently didn't save it! Oh well I will have to start again... What is it with me not saving my work this past few days! So it just occurred to me right this second that the word EX is very broad!!! Ex boyfriend, ex wife, ex job, ex house, ex brother lol iKid! but you get my drift. Based on this new rev, I've decided to do a post and write to my ex- job ! (I literally just heard some one hiss lol) Calm down! it's not that serious. Okay to the EX here's what I have to say! 1. You were EXed out for a reason; ! You belong to my past... stay there! 2. What in the world was I thinking ... I bet I was on cheap drugs. Your creator didn't make you a waste of space you did that to yourself! Get help. 3.Wishing you nothin

Day 4: Bullet Your Whole Day

Image
Follow me @Nolimit2life Hmmmm now today was extra special so it is a long journal... it makes for an interesting read though... even if I say so myself!!! Enjoy ;) 5:30 Why do I keep waking up before the alarm goes off? Looks like my "body alarm" is doing a better job than this alarm... Okay snooze mode activated! I might as well join the prayer webinar   here 06:00 - 06:30 Heavy prayers, no enemy can escape this attack and even if he does, he got injured and is totally useless! 06:35 Off to the bathroom need to be out of here ASAP. 07:20 SA calls to tell me to get my behind downstairs, time to justify my pay for the day! Need to run this power point presentation by SA ... did that on the train and sent a copy to Kay &  Aloted for feedback... So thankful for friends I can ask for help in split seconds! 08:00 - Crikeys! we are at the station, no internet :( 8:20 kings cross station, if I'm fast enough, I should be able to get breakfast at  a

Day 3 A book I love

Follow me @Nolimit2life I like to think that I'm a book connoisseur although they don't fill a room yet but I'm getting there. I dream of a house with a library..with wall to wall books *sigh* the joy! I love the smell and feel of books at some point in my life, I bought books weekly, I stopped when I realised the pace I was reading the books wasn't commensurate to the pace I bought them.... Hopefully the gap will even out soon!lol Reading books for me is seasonal; what I mean by this is - It is possible for me to buy a book, leave it there untouched and then go back to it about three years later reason being that it relates to the season I'm in at that point in time! Most books usually relate to some and not all parts of life so for instance, a book on finance will have nothing to do with romance. A book on physics will probably not have anything to do with home economics! Of all the books I've ever bought, the only one I know that is well rounded is ...

Day2 : Somethiing I feel Strongly About!

Follow me  @Nolimit2life Two things gets my attention all the time! 1. Injustice 2. Education I thought since I would rather keep my opinion on injustice and double standards to myself, I should speak on education... I'm all about the positives nowadays!:) Contrary to what people thought back in the days, a good education will not necessarily make you rich! But it can elevate you to the levelled playing field to compete with the big boys; What I mean by this is education is an eye opener, at least a good one! It can be a tool to get from point A to point Z It opens up your mind and helps you to see and maximise opportunities if applied properly. The greatest injustice man has ever experienced is people who knowingly withhold education from those that need it. Education doesn't only occur in the four walls of an institution! But it is important to learn to read and write, that is basic and should be default for everyone. I'm convinced that everyone ought to be

Five Ways To Win My Heart *RME*

Follow me @Nolimit2life Need to do the needful before midnight ... In your face challenge!!! I'm on to you!!! 1. Gifts - I know I have changed! I would never admit this before, but the truth is, I love love unwrapping gifts, I just got a "belated gift card" from my friends(A family of 5) yesterday and I'm just back from maxing the card out! I felt euphoric, same feeling I had when my friend topped up my coins to get me ice-cream from my favourite " Oddono "'s seriously guys, you should try 'em out if you live in London, if you don't, check them out the next time you're in town... they make fabulous, heavenly ice cream!lol 2. Integrity and honesty ... I get won over time and time again with people with great hearts, I don't mean your regular "two goody shoes", I mean people that are true to themselves and honest about their strength and weaknesses, there's nothing as sleazy and repelling as people who lack integrity...

...Hope I've Been Able To Convince You That Computers Are Better Than Humans!!!

Image
Follow me @Nolimit2life *Sigh* don't you just wish that was true ?lol!!! But the truth is nothing beats relating with humans at least on a relational level any day 24/7!!! I know we all have our days, where we really just want to shut someone up in mid sentence and silently wish they can disappear into thin air... But that ain't gonna happen. They are here, as real as they've ever been. They're not going anywhere and you have to deal with it. Personally I would rather chill with my laptop than with some humans but the truth is, that won't help me. especially when they are people you can't but bump into on a daily basis. I realise that I have to learn to tolerate people 'cos they are learning to tolerate me too. So I suck it up and do they needful. The more I learn to relate with them, the more I realise that we are all human and we all go to toilet *news flash*lol! We all want to get ahead in life although some are self destructive... but we all just

No It Is Not Okay.

Image
Follow me @Nolimit2life So I decided to be the bigger person and let things you do slide. But we both know that is not me. I'm learning to pick and choose what battle I fight but we both know I'm not going to let this slide. Hell to the NO. It is not okay for you to pick and choose what suits you okay? Nope you can't eat your cake and have it. You just can't... it goes against every law in the universe. May be there's allowance for that in Mars but not here on planet earth. so NOPE I won't let it slide, you're going to get it right back. Don't understand why people can be so selfish and totally disregard and disrespect other people's feelings. It is totally wrong... Now where was I?  PS: This is a rant (lol, like you don't know already albeit a mini one). Today is Friday and really I should be de-stressing but a couple of people are getting on my last nerves due to their EXTREME and UNREAL selfishness... I know :) I t is never about me

My Space!

Image
Follow me @Nolimit2life Can't help but come back to this space of mine in the WWW! I keep trying to think of why I paused and I can't for the life of me think of any good reason. Okay only one teeny weeny reason comes to mind. The truth is... I never stopped writing, I just stopped putting it out there 'cos I'm not as "anonymous" as I was when I started! Oh and no regrets about that, I've made friends for life through this blog y'all know yourselves! So I decided to dust my key board off and type away again. so what if I know people who read this blog, shouldn't really matter right? If I have anything to say I should just say it and leave people to form their opinions right? ... WRONG! I'm going to keep blogging but I'm going to be sensitive to other people's feelings. You see I've come to learn that it isn't only about the truth you know and say, it is also very much about how you say it! So there ... I said it ... I

Which way Nigeria!!!

Seriously, I hear some things and I foolishly and naively convince myself there's no way such can happen. The video below is a perfect example of such!!! How do some of our leaders look themselves in the mirror everyday without seeing the faces of murderers? This is appalling and I just had to return from hiatus to put this up. I can't tell you how I feel right now, but I am livid and I feel like praying fire and brimstone on the heads of those who ought to have made life easier for this people but chose instead to "can" the money and sit on it in the process, they made life miserable and unbearable for this bona fide citizens... all I can say is God is watching you in 3D...best believe it. Please can somebody forward it to somebody who will forward it to somebody till it catches the attention of people who are responsible for this citizens. Ps: I couldn't watch this video to the end as what I saw disturbed me a lot! Follow me @Nolimit2life
