START ANYWAYS: THE STAN LEE REFERENCE

Black Panther (courtesy Marvel.com)

So I am a comics superhero movie fan. I looovvvveeeee Superman and no matter how many times I watch Lois and Clark: the adventures of superman, I never get tired. I didn’t follow Smallville when it aired because I was kinda of angry that Lois and Clark was discontinued and I didn’t understand all the Lana Lang angle but in the past couple of years, I have watched as much Youtube clips of Smallville that I can find online.

Wakanda Forever…. Yes, Black Panther….The latest rave among non superhero movie and superhero movie fans. There was so much hype around it that it was choking. I have watched and read so much reviews and editorials that I felt overwhelmed. Why? I didn’t want the marvel cinematic universe movies to be overshadowed by the overwhelming political and sub psychological context that people were placing on the movie. I have loved MCU movies since Robert Downey Jr starred as Iron Man. I watched some X-men movies till I got offended that Halle Berry was not cast as Storm. I watched the first Fantastic 4 movie (with Chris Evans now Captain America and Jessica Alba) and was mad as heck when they decided to do a reboot with Micheal B Jordan as invisible girl’s brother or so. Please don’t get me started….

WHO IS OUT THERE?......

Hiya Folks, it seems that i keep coming back then put on a disappearing act again. I wrote my last post with the intention of writing frequently but then life got the better of me. I was so busy with my dissertation and some small jobs that i do. How have you guys been? Has anyone been checking up on me? I am so disappointed that no one left a comment (except some spammers). Did i pursue all my readers?.....#crying

GRATITUDE......

Hey guys, how have you been? How was your Christmas celebrations? Mine was okay. I got invited to have a typical British Christmas Lunch at the home of the ministers in charge of my church so Christmas day wasn't so bad.

Lately i have been feeling out of my element, i didn't want to go out, i didn't want to watch movies or do anything. I have been feeling sorry for myself and worrying about what would happen to me very soon if a miracle doesn't happen. I didn't want to even go to church today but i am so glad i did.

Today's reading was about Joseph (the earthly father of Jesus) running away from Herod with Mary and Baby Jesus and living in Egypt then in Nazareth afterwards. For the first time in my life, i realised that Jesus and his parents at that time were refugees. I was like 'oh my goodness'. They ran away to save the life of Jesus. The reading seem befitting at this time when some people are having so much issues with countries taking care of refugees.

Then came some shockers for me. A member of my church was called up and she was asked some questions. As i listened to her story, every sorry spirit in me started to disappear. Things might not look too rosy for me but at least my story is not that bad. She had to leave her country Zimbabwe, her family and her 3 year old daughter so that she can protect her life and their lives. Just because she was standing up for justice. Even though she has been here for almost 15 years, she has not had it easy. Right now she says she receives no support from the home office and is on the list of people who are to be deported.

Another guy from Sudan who is not a member of my church also told his story and how he had to run away from sudan to save his life and had to pass through the desert just to finally reach the UK. He also said the same thing about the Home Office and how badly they are treating him and others but said that people have been nice to him and even though he is a muslim he finds that Christians are very nice to him.

Hearing their stories made me appreciate all that i have and i am going through. It is not as easy as i want it to be but i know it can only get better. What i feel is too complicated and hard for me, i trust that God would make a way and when it is at the perfect time.

The lesson here is that no matter how bad you think you have got it, someone has it worse than you. So be thankful for everything you have and are passing through.

Thanks for stopping by.....

Luv ya,

MERRY CHRISTMAS....

Merry Christmas guys......I wish you and your family a blessed Christmas..... Hope you guys are having a great time...

MONOCHROMATIC HOUNDTOOTH GOWN

Hey guys, it has been such a long time since i stopped by but it was not without good reason. I had an epic exam today and it was one that i needed every cell in my body to all cooperate and concentrate. It was an Epidemiology and basic statistics examination and for those who are familiar with statistics know that the thing ain't easy mehn. My brain at a point couldn't take anymore i had to even shut down for some hours. I thank God that the exams was okay. At least i didn't have a panic attack and though i couldn't answer the questions to a 100% at least i wrote something down. Now it is all in God's hands...

Anyway while browsing through some online articles i came across this pictures of a certain celebrity, Vicky Pattinson. Unfortunately i have no idea what she does but she has been in a lot of articles on dailymail.com lately.

I love the simplicity of the gown and how she paired it with the leather jacket and shoes....

CHELSEA WINS 4-0 AGAINST MACCABI TEL AVIV

Gary Cahill

Willian and Cahill

Shame to bad people o......All those praying for the downfall of Chelsea, your prayers would not work. Even though Chelsea has had a rough time lately, we are still champions and champions never give up no matter what.

In a match against Maccabi Tel Aviv, my Chelsea football club boys.....Gary Cahill, Willian, Oscar and Zouma did us proud by scoring goals.Even though we played on a terrible pitch and one of the Maccabi players tried to hack Diego Costa and got sent off (serves him right), we won......Yaaay....

SELFIE LOVING SISTERS EARN £75,000 WORTH OF GOODS FROM STRANGERS JUST FOR POSTING PICTURES ONLINE

Left to right: Lucy,Sophie, Stacie

This is a 'get out of here, it must be crazy' kind of story. These three sisters say they have earned gifts worth of £75,000 just for posting pictures of themselves online. Lucy 28, Sophie 26 and Stacie Brooks 25 direct their admirers to a wish list where they can buy gifts for them and send to them instead of liking their pictures.

They have gotten gifts from designer bags to designer perfumes to shoes to even a dining table. The sisters who run a hair and beauty salon in St Albans, Herts say it is not seedy. They say they don't sell their bodies or meet with the admirers and they have boyfriends who are okay with it.


Here are more pictures of the sisters:

FASHION DILEMMA: IS IT A SKIRT OR PANTS?

Guys, this is a quick post. I need someone to help me out.... I saw this picture and i was like 'lovely skirt' but as i looked closer and i think i see that it is a trouser. I am not absolutely sure.

GRATITUDE POST.....

I was nominated for the gratitude challenge post by the lovely Amaka of Seyonhundeyin.blogspot.com some days ago but i have been incredible busy and too lazy to write the post. When i decided to write it yesterday i got distracted that is why i am writing it today. Thank you Amaka for the nomination. You guys should check out her blog.....she spits some serious truths and has a series called 'Grammar 101'

The rules are that you should accept the challenge in 72 hours upon nomination (which i didn't do....I am so sorry) and you have to write 5 things you are grateful for on any social media platform (including blogs). Then you are to nominate 5 other people to take up the challenge.

I like gratitude challenges because it makes you to stop and take a good look at your life and allows you to remember how blessed you are. When you count your blessings, all your problems seem to fade away at that moment.

So here are five things (among a lot of things) i am grateful for:

GOD BE WITH THOSE WHO MOURN......#PRAYFORPARIS #PRAYFORTHEWORLD

People paying tributes to the victims of yesterday's madness

Looking at these pictures, i ache and i am seriously angry. THIS NONSENSE MUST STOP! Parents are looking for their children, sisters/brothers are looking for their siblings and some people are patting themselves on the back for a job well done. I curse all of the people involved in these atrocities!! May you all die a terrible death after suffering for your crimes!
