Best things about 2013..
..With the year ending tomorrow i figured i might as well. :)
1. Graduation - Had to start with this one. Looked forward to it my whole life. :)

3. Growth - I have grown personally as well this year. I have shed a lot of my previous reservations and uncertainties and gotten back into the driver's seat of my life. I am not done, far from it, because this too i am learning is a continuous process. So not fully blossomed but getting there. :)

4. Tim McGraw's Two lanes of Freedom - If you haven't heard it, then go hear it!!
5. Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D - What better way to keep an addict addicted? Create a TV Show of course!!
6. Quality time with the mother - I went away to boarding school when i was 11 and ever since that last summer in 2002, i have never spent more than 3 months at home (in a stretch). Immediately after high school i left for college and then Uni in a different continent all together. Essentially my relationship with my mother has been mainly over the phone and Skype for too many years. These last 6 months or so (barring the chicken pox/malaria regime) spent with my mother have been truly heaven-sent and what I am most thankful for this year. I saved the best for last! :)
Okay 2013.. it's been great, very much so! Here's to an even better 2014.

Choosing the 'right' background
..Choosing the right background for your blog is The Choice, yes? I mean, it's the very first impression of yourself you give to your readers so you have to decide what you want to say.. "Hi, welcome to my blog" or "I vant to suck yur bluud!"

You have to decide how much of yourself you want to show.. and what part of yourself too. And when you do decide, you have to find or design a template that says just exactly what you want it to say. It shouldn't be too gaudy and should complement what you write about... It really is a major, life changing decision to pick one, and only one, template out of the millions possible.
I thought it was time i "pimped", if not named, this blog. I looked over countless designs. Some were really good, others were boring, some were just okay and the rest had my brain screaming "NEVER!". I used to have a template back when i began this blog. It was of a ladybird, which i named Erza. I remember I saw it and I said yes, this is definitely it. It took long, long, loooooong hours of dedicated searching (and insomnia) but I finally found this one.
And the kicker is this: I chose it simply because I thought it was really pretty. Figures, huh? Oh and i named the blog too. Once i had a template, i had a name.
Welcome to my playground! :)

Xmas Special
..So i'm moody. Not right now but generally. I've always just kinda accepted that it will always be so but then i woke up from a nightmare last night and was dogged by echoes of the dream all through the afternoon. After dinner, I switched off that part of my brain and it stopped. Just like that. It occurred to me that the reason i am almost always moody is because i take on the problems of the world, things that i can not change no matter how hard i try, and then get depressed over my perceived inadequacies.
It also occurred to me that i am not much of a doer. Take right now for instance. I should be studying for MCAT, prepping for my internship which starts in January, completing one of my many abandoned novels or just doing something productive, you know? But what am i doing? I'm sitting here.. on my window sill no less, writing this while deciding what Nora Roberts book i am going to read tonight. See my point?
But you know what? There simply just isn't anywhere else I'd rather be right now. I think we have a winner: The Return of Rafe Mackade.
Happy holidays y'all! Have a wonderful, wonderful break - I know I am!!

The Nora Roberts Challenge
...So i've set a goal for myself. By the end of 2014, i should have read all of Nora Roberts' book series.
Nora Roberts is my favourite romance writer. She knows how to capture, or rather, breathe life into her characters. and i love the magic too.. the sense of wonder. the feeling that love really does conquer all. I am a hopeless romantic after all.
revisiting a decision
..i think that by now it has already been established that i will leave.. but eventually i will find my way back here. it just happened again.
So, Christmas is in 2days.. WHERE THE HELL DID ALL THE TIME GO? I had all these big plans. well, not really. my so-called big plans included and were limited to reading novels and just doing nothing at all. which is really all i've done for the last two months so, check and check.

i thought i would eventually get tired of doing nothing productive and honestly i have moments when i just want to scream from the boredom of it all.. but then i find a new book or tv show and i'm fine again. i really am a simple person you know.
so remember i mentioned a surprise i wanted to share... well here it is: i'm going to take the MCAT.. in March hopefully. i could spend the next hour or so telling you when, how and why when it can be very simply summarized in three words: I WANT THIS!
i graduated, i started my youth's service to my country (NYSC), i looked around and thought, "Huh!". i didn't feel the satisfaction that should have come from it all, much to my parent's chagrin.
maybe i let fear of the unknown lead me. maybe i had unconsciously started listening to voices around me that were telling me what a woman is supposed to do next. maybe it was supposed to happen this way - let it go and then return - isn't that the way of love? i dont have the right answer. i only know what i want.
i might not get into med school, particularly because i will be applying to only one school. i know what i want. and if i don't get in then i'll know. i cant keep living with the uncertainty; wondering if i sold myself short.
so there. surprise! :)

Fight
I wrote this song to make you feel alright today
I wrote it to make everything alright
And I would sing it every single day if you would say we’'re fine
I can feel your heart is beating careful
‘Cus sometimes I pretend that I don'’t care
I can’'t believe I never let you know how much I need you here
‘Cus I would fight and I would beg
I just want to hear you say
That tonight will be alright if you will stay
There'’s times I feel like you don'’t know me anymore
And other times I think you know me best
I could love you better but I never wanna love you less
So run away and I’'ll be running next to you
I’'d never let you run away alone
Before you run too far away I think that I should let you know
‘Cus I will fight and I will beg
I just want to hear you say
That tonight will be alright if you will stay
So put your hand in mine
We'’ll be fine, I know, I know that
If you stay tonight
I promise I will show you...
