THE GIRL IN THE PURPLE BLOUSE
I guess am back after such a long break, though it may have been days to you but they seem as never ending years to me. Got up 0430hours this morning, I have not actually blogged for a week due to series of school tests and different up comings.
I am meant to be revising right now because I have a test in two hours time, but due to the thunderstorm outside I am stuck in my room full of ideas I have to put down.
In the course of the week I had a long discussion with a friend and it was about how we are the cause of every action that happens to us.
Have you ever thought how one action leads to the other, if only you were born two seconds earlier or later you might not be where you are right now, if only you did not forget your ticket at home and miss your flight, you may have been part of that plane crash. It goes on and on and on, it just never seems to end. I guess my pen is on my paper right now and this is a little STORY, enjoy:
If only he was 2 seconds earlier or later,
If only they did not decide to be friends, they may still be together,
If only she showed more care, they may still be together,
If only she gave as much as she received, they may still be together,
If only she always made him happy, they may still be together,
If only she was emotionally available, they may still be together,
If only she never thought he was paranoid and acting insecure, they may still be
together,
If only she knew boyfriends come before best friends and close friends, they may
still be together,
If only she never thought he complained when he observed a fault, they may still be together,
If only she sent text messages early enough or just simply called, they may still be together,
If only she did not turn her face when unresolved issues came up, they may still be together,
If only she listened carefully whenever he talked, they may still be together,
If only she showed public display of affection, they may still be together,
If only she never got another call line, they may still be together,
If only she never slept off during chat sessions, they may still be together,
If only she never really got tired after work, they may still be together,
If only she knew when to hug him, they may still be together,
If only she never broke his rules and principles, they may still be together,
If only she could keep to time, they may still be together,
If and only if he never kept the history of things, they may still be together.....
If only she never invited him to her mum’s party, they will not have been together,
If only she never kissed him, they will not have been together,
If only they never read together, they will not have been together,
If only they had never written what they liked about each other, they will not have been together,
If only they did not have similar interests, they will not have been together,
If only he never saw the book containing her goals, they will not have been together,
If only she never said yes when he asked her out, they will not have been together,
If only she never organised a surprise party for him, they will not have been together,
If only he never told her his feelings for her, they will not have been together,
If only he never went on those Lekki outings, they will not have been together,
If only she was never given his number, they will not have been together,
If only she never wanted a holiday job, they will not have been together,
If only he did not know who could get her a job, they will not have been together,
If only he never sat beside her in that room the day he introduced himself, they will not have been together,
If only he never wrote that networking exam, they will not have been together,
If only his heart never beat faster anytime he saw her, they will not have been together,
If only he did not break up with his girlfriend, they will not have been together,
If only he did not decide to walk with his friend after class that day, they will not have been together,
If only he never decided to pass that staircase, they will not have been together,
If only he did not look in that direction, they will not have been together,
If only he was 2 seconds earlier or later, they will not have been together,
If only he never saw “THE GIRL IN THE PURPLE BLOUSE” they will not have been together.

Day 82
A Little Time Alone
“Life is a war” this was the theme of today’s message, it was actually one of the best messages I had heard in my entire life even though I took a little nap for about 15minutes, I actually wonder when I will change for the better.
Today was meant to start like any other Sunday if not for the roaring sound from the P.A as usual calling names of students who have either letter of suspension or letter of warning. I prayed deeply that my name will not fall under this category because I have suffered enough this past week, but you know the usual my name came out again this time with a strong letter of warning after I had being cleared. I could not actually sleep back neither could I think my brain was actually going through a lot , I am tired of this school but I know God will see me through, for they will chase me and never catch me cause I will flee in more ways than they expect.
Church service was very interesting; it was fully packaged with spirituality, jokes and lots more. In fact it was due to the laughter from the crowd that I got up from my slumber, I remember the preachers interview when he was actually asked a question that he had no idea of, his answer was its actually because of time that you are actually on that side of the table if not it will have being the other way round, he actually bargained to be trained on the course and he got the job, that was so hilarious.
After the service I actually had to wait for about 2hours before I could enter my room because I was locked outside, I hate anything having to do with key issues but I was able to contain myself. After entering my I rested a bit before setting out to see my little sister who eventually embarrassed me in front of her friends forming she was advising a brother who is actually older than her, she’s lucky I did not do things my way if not she will still have being sobbing from my smacks.
Reading time was actually here but I had to put something in my stomach so assimilation will be quite fast. After eating I could not resist the match that was going on, actually I wasted 30minutes of my time I could have invested. Reading went on well because I understood every bit of what was read or rather studied today.
On my way back from civil engineering building I discovered I was the only one on the stretch of road that could serve a runway for a Boeing 737 airplane. I began to think my future is actually here, its chasing me like wild fire, what do I actually want to become? How do I want my life to turn out? These were the questions I asked myself; I then thought again what am I actually good at? I know I can lie which makes me a pretender and since I can pretend I can act, that was not actually good enough I needed something more concrete, something that will make a big statement to the world like Bill Gates, he is the richest man on earth with a service he invented and has managed over the years. I do not actually want to be the richest man on earth even though I will not mind, I just want to be comfortable, I want something attached to my name. It’s time to work very hard because that is the only thing that can give birth to success.
Ehi the time is now to make an impact to my world........

Day 83
Battle for Supremacy
Have you ever walked on the street and then you see two agama lizards fighting, from my little knowledge of biology I guess it’s called "territoriality", this was the highlight of the day, it was Messi against Ronaldo, Valdes against Cassilas, Marcelo against Xazi, Alonso against Keita, Ehi against hmmm I guess there’s no one because there is no match for me..Lol
Anyway woke up quite early and for the first time on a Saturday morning I went back to bed because some guy was with my bucket and was still snoring while Reme's laundry was waiting.
After doing my laundry I set out to read my books because this upcoming week is going to be full of a series of tests. The day looked as if it was going to be boring; I was actually the only one in the whole class reading can you imagine that, no one to whisper to, no one to recite what you have read, absolutely no one but me.
After reading, listening to music, watching hustle for about 4hours plus, it was finally time to rest, so I set out to watch the FA Cup match that was being aired on tv, it was kind of fun even though I am a Chelsea hater. The order of the day started to fall in place; I went to chapel for a prayer conference where I had to reconnect with my one and only God. I could not stay till the very end due to some other business I had to take care of.
Finally the time we had all being waiting for "Ël Classico" as it is fondly called, chairs were dragged, tables were gathered, men standing, men sitting that was actually the arrangement of the cafeteria. Anyway it was football at its best, they were chasing each other round the field like there was no tomorrow, I was glad at that moment that I was actually there in person to see the glory of football. Messi scored an astonishing goal I couldn’t believe where the pass came from that he netted it so quickly. From then on it was a fair struggle till the half was over.
It was a long walk back to the hall with my backpack weighing my shoulders down, the day was finally coming to an end and I was happy that at least a lot was achieved today.

Day 84
A Mother's Love
"To whom much is given much is expected" the exact words my mum told me before I left home October 17th 2005, these words have being a guiding stone to me for the past 5 years, she always tells me Ehireme as she fondly calls me you know your my only son please whatever you do, do not get into trouble. The thought of her black knees which is caused by her everyday kneeling down to pray for her family always guided me too, I remember her once telling me even though it means me selling all my clothes to keep you comfortable I will.
I woke up due to the sounds from the public address system saying: this is the last list of chapel defaulters come and check your names and report to the chapel for 0800hours, my mind was racing please tell me my name is not there one more time. I rushed downstairs to check, I was glad when I couldn’t find my name then bad luck as usual came crawling by my friend told me I had being looking at the wrong list that my name was on the second list and that I had defaulted six times!!!!1 imagine that, it meant more than trouble only Gods grace could save me from this one.
I ironed and rushed to the chapel on getting there I discovered I had being pinked again and a class was holding there so myself and a friend rushed for breakfast, while waiting for yam and stew to be ready, my eyes were glued to the television screen, then I started hearing movements boys, kids, men to be running as if the world was coming to an end, my friend asked me Ehi what do you think is going on then for a moment neurons rushed once more to my brain then I realized they had been informed to come over to the cafeteria for the meeting and they were all running to get front seats, immediately my friend and I rushed over to get our seats without having breakfast.
After waiting for about two hours we were spoken to by the dean of student Affairs who told us to divide ourselves to our different halls of residence, there was a rush again and this time I did not make front roll where forms were given out to students. I could not be fooled again after staying till about 2345hours the day before, I set back to my room for good rest, had some snacks while watching Gossip girl which has become so twisted till about 1800hours when it was time for me to go and receive my verdict concerning my stay in this school.
On getting to my destination I found out people had been separated into two just like how the goats will be separated from the sheep on judgement day, I quickly ran up the stage to know my fate and finally the BOOK was open, I had already started reading the ladies lips and she confirmed I had signed, you are cleared those were her exact words I actually wanted to hug her but I will have being charged for overt sexual gesture..Lol.
My day had being fulfilled and crowned with joy, because I had not disappointed myself or my mum. If I was not actually cleared 4 weeks suspension will have being hanging around my neck. Finally I went to the chapel to thank His holy name because everything was done for me according to His grace upon my life. The End

Day 85
Judgement Day
Woke up this morning with alot at the back of my mind, first of all i was thinking could my very good friend from way back in the 90's have slyed me concerning my attendance sheet, what if he actually did but we are actually to close for that, anyway i was contemplating murder because failure to sign for me is probably suspension i doubt SLOW(strong letter of warning) as it is normally called in my skool.
The day finally begun after ironing my best white shirt to signify peace depending on the measure of punishment awaiting me.....anyway as usual the long walk to chapel with another friend who i knew nothing could happen to no matter the situation at hand, my heart was actually beating fast, blood rushing to my brain, thoughts of my year 12 in secondary school replaying back how i ruined my ending my very last stay..the truth still holds "its not the beginning that matters but the very end" i was feeling i was going to be the black sheep of my family once more as i had been in the past, i was angry for not judging my inner man,i actually knew something like this will happen but how and why now we are many and most of my friends are included nothin fi happen as it is normally said in pigeon.
We both got to the chapel early enough only to find out the meeting was slated for 12oohours, anyway we set for the cafeteria cause my stomach had already started eating up my intestine as she had being starved for hours. After my meal my lecture hall was the next stop, stayed in class for an hour and headed straight to the verdict centre were we had to sit for about 1hour before they came to attend to us telling us to move to another venue for the next line of action. Again they wasted our time this time for about 2hours.
We finally started, about 550students were to be cleared can u imagine 15 to 20minutes spent on each student so when were they exactly meant to finish. Boiz or rather men to be cannot be left all alone without been rowdy or rather blood and tension heating up, from one problem to the other the officials finally left after being frustrated by the crowd of boys they unimaginally could not handle.
They finallly came back after an hour only to continue the hustle and bustle, me that i thought i had street smart i left there by 23.45hours unsuccessful , it was a big blow to my chest but i just had this feeling i will laugh last. So stressed out on getting back to my room could not even last 15minutes before i knocked out..........................to be continued
