We cannot love others until we learn to love ourselves. What does it mean to truly love ourselves? I personally would have thought doing everything I would want was part of loving me. Fine dining, nice clothes, shoes and beautiful jewelry, basically anything and everything luxurious and super comfortable. And I have heard people so many times say “ I am doing this for myself because I love me “ question is do we really say that just to justify a selfish act we are about to do and need an excuse like not caring for people because of their inconveniences? Or we really need to do something we really want to do but only way to do it is by saying “ I’m going to do this because I love myself” . What I do know is that whatever people decide to do is basically what goes on in their minds. Actions we all take is strongly motivated by what we think is right and decide on what course of action to take or at least we do what we think is right even if it might be wrong. Anyway the philosophical ...

Part of who I am and what I am is what my mother taught me. Cliché I know and I truly dislike talking about myself. I am more of a listener than a talker, safe to say I do not really like the spotlight. But anyway Part of me is what my mother has taught me and shown me. And I want to share this because I wouldn’t be where I am mentally without her. Growing up she would always tell me what I am doing is to better myself and not her. Education and spirituality is for me to reap the fruits of my labor and not for her, because she doesn’t need it but I will. She will often ask where do you want to be 5 years from now? 10 years from now? And before I will answer she would ask again where were you 5 years ago? Where were you 10 years ago? If she hadn’t asked me that I would never had realized how time flies. I mean yes time flies but then when you actually go through that flashback you realize it was just the other day. But you have to ask yourself if you have grown from that person you were...

Violence only stirs more chaos.Very true. But in a situation where violence is forcefully imposed on innocent lives, civilians and bystanders. Where people are killed with no respect for lives, religion or consequences then there is a problem. Not just ethical or moral problem but plain inhumane problems. Especially when there's nobody fighting back. But then its hard to fight back since the violence are caused by "Boko Haram"- a supposedly militant "Islamic group" with links to Al Qaeda. Honestly though Who or what is Boko Haram? And it seems like every attack on Nigeria Boko Haram takes credit for it. Including bank robberies, suicide attacks etc. I guess its safe to say there are many sectors of Boko Haram that Nigerians still don't know of. Every suspect that has been caught gets gunned down! Do the police and government not want information? Or are they just gunning down random people who they think are Boko Haram members because not even the police kno...

CNN aired a documentary called “Death in the Dessert”, and being a News junkie there was no way I was going to miss it. After watching it I felt paralyzed, Men and women from Eritrea, Ethiopia , Somalia , Sudan amongst other countries begin a journey with the intention to better their lives. They leave their homes, families and friends behind, with only passports, and little money-if any at all. They cross borders, in rain, heat, and cold with a destination in their minds- The Sinai Peninsula in Egypt. The relevancy of reaching the peninsula for these individuals is simply to cross into different continents especially Israel and for others past Israel. What kind of jobs awaits them you may ask? House helps, laborers etc. You know they are desperate because anything is better than the poverty they in their countries. Reaching the peninsula, they do not know what awaits them, of course crossing any border requires procedures and protocols. Since they are not legal in the country ...

I haven't blogged in a long time, and my only logic reason is because i miss my old blog site. for some reason blogger refused to log and user in unless you have a Google account. so all the posts on this blog is basically a copy & paste from my last blog page :( BUT i will blog more. not that i don't write anymore i just don't post them.

So the world was supposed to come to and after many million years. But as you know it, the earth probably enjoys human settlement even after the way she’s been treated. Mother earth I tell you. Instead of letting the ground swallow us all up, volcanoes fry us or floods wash away everything we know and have, she gave us a second chance. And even with this second chance given to us global warming won’t stop, an idiot has definitely murdered someone right this second and Al Qaeda are definitely still carrying out vicious plans that I hope backfires and erases them all. Yes the world will definitely come to an end and we will all perish. But according a geophysics professor & science the world will come to an end through 5 main mechanisms- Meteorites, volcanoes, earthquakes, nuclear wars & attacks by extra terrestrials . So which one of these science facts or myths have you heard or read about. As for me I believe four of the mechanisms. Meteorites, you know the explosion that...

This week has been quite interesting..From an annoying science class filled with chemical compounds,acids and bases that i totally detest, to someone really annoying me which by the way i hardly get annoyed to people taking my kindness for granted which led to me being robbed. This week has been a total disappointment..from people you care about acting like total fools, talking behind your back and each of them snitching on the other..Uhmm i really thought i left that crap in high school,to somebody i was supposed to trust act like a jerk to someone who clearly knows my intention act dumb. This week its all about me, wait I meant this year its all about me. if you have negativity in your words, actions, intentions, and thoughts then please coming my way will be wrong or you. I don't wanna hear anybody s complains because i refuse to absorb anybody s emotions and problems. Because trust me, U don't wanna hear "My" problems, fears and insecurities. If you have a problem...
