POEMS by KUTI OLUMIDE: THE UNIQUENESS IN MY LOVER







Let me flow to you my lover
For in each others arm we belong
Where the flowers blossom
And the trees at their best ,boom
There my love, shall I give thee
Wonderful you are
Beautiful at thy feet
Your breasts like twin clusters
Your eyes as pure as natural water
Your hair shines like the finest fabric
Your figure is the work of a good artist
With you my delight is complete
Your breath oozes its apple fragrance
Urging me to kiss you eternally.
Me and you would make the world jealous.

ODENIRAN DEBORAH: THINK!!!

By Olamide

Cos his father’s house was patched doesn’t mean he wouldn’t own mansion(s).
Cos she’s well recognized with that same pair of shoe doesn’t depict the fact that she wouldn’t own shoe racks.
Cos he’s described with that particular polo and jean doesn’t mean he wouldn’t have great wears in his wardrobe.
Cos  his father owns a rickety car ain’t enough reason for him not to own a Bugatti Veron as one of his cars.
Cos her dreams are out of this world doesn’t mean they won’t turn out real.
Calm your nerves! He never gave you a dime doesn’t mean he wouldn’t write you a cheque.
Cos You tirelessly hustled with him just to get into the molue doesn’t mean he would
own his car.

The future is what matters most. Our Present situation seems to be a test of time because it prepares us ahead of that success we’re destined to be. Avoid judging people due to their present situation. Even if you should, judge them positively. Most people (stars, that writer, the OAP's, the comedians, presidents, ministers) who we look up to as our role model today passed through hard times even more than what that person you look down on is passing through now. They didn’t make it GBAM! Just like that. It all started from somewhere. Infact it was fate (hustling) that helped most of them discover that inner potential within them or whatever they’re destined for.
Cos your friend hawks water or is a sales girl doesn’t mean you should snub, she might end up being a manager tomorrow.

Life is too short and so beautiful to judge people because of their present state. Give! Learn to help people irrespective of what you have. Your joy should be that smile you cause on peoples face. Your fame, success, award  (or whatever you claim you have) is worthless if you’ve  not caused a positive change in people's life.

Some Ladies run away from relationship mostly because that dude is poor/ he’s not capable/ he can’t foot the bill blahblahblah. Haba! For how long do you want to keep running? You come from a wealthy home. Fine! Yea we know. But have you asked your mom to gist you about how their start was? (I mean their early relationship). Your mother passed through same patience with your dad and is now enjoying his cash. They only worked real hard to fill up that ditch so you wouldn’t experience same thing they passed through. That doesn’t depict the fact that everybody’s born rich. Try to inherit that (patience) your mother had. 

I still try to depict the reason why some ladies are just so dependent on a guy because of the money. Some feel if he doesn’t have the cash, car, capability blablabla, it’s a NO or the relationship can’t go further. He’s not your father, The only person who’s meant to do all that is your in as far as you ain’t married to him. I’m not against you collecting cash from a guy but being so dependent on him for everything, I mean EVERYTHING ain't cool. A guy’s cash should only be a surplus to yours, he’s only meant to help you in the little way you can because he also have his family, budget.e.t.c.

Even if you'll be patient. The best thing is pray for yourself and him, stop wasting away while waiting. Pray for him because we are destined to be helpers, not only to our loved ones, but to everyone generally. There was this chat i had with a big bro of mine years back, i asked him how his boo was and his response was 'My ATM machine's fine'. At first i was confused(like what has my question got to do with ATM machine), he later explained to me how his boo always prays for him and money just comes in.
 
Cos you guys have tirelessly walked round the streets of Lagos doesn’t warrant the fact that he won’t own a ride. Imagine when he finally owns a ride, and you get yourself fit into the madam’s seat, he cruises you round that same area you’ve walked around. Wouldn’t you feel proud to remind him of those days?

There’s this Yoruba adage that says ‘SURULERE DA JU OLORUNSOGO’ (pardon me if that yoruba’s wrong). I’ll definitely stick by that guy through the pains in as far as I see that bright future ahead. Don’t push him away because he has no money today, rather Hold him close IF he’s a man of vision because to other ladies out there (who can see farther than your blur sight) he’s Honey and he got brighter days ahead with a blossoming future.

It’s only advisable to RUN as fast as your legs can if you realize he’s this lazy dude and have never for once act like a real man, if he always writes future plans of his in a full scap sheet like all the time plus his so called dream house in Venice but he’s always stuck indoors doing nothing. 
Biko! *on my knees* Puhleeeeze, kindly pull your slippers, dust it and use the door. There’s no point in dealing with a lazy dude who’s just stuck to a seat and keeps wishing heaven and earth without working. Manna won’t fall from heaven.

You realize he’s hardworking and he has this bright future, hold him tight. It might take time though but the best thing is to aim high and be hopeful that it’s going to turn out real like very soon. Yahoo guys think and work just to make money even though the YY thingy (yahoo business) is a dirty game, they are either awake at midnight, using all means just to get the money, then what are you doing with your CV, skills or anything that could fetch you money in a good way. (I’m not in support of yahoo guys, just used that as an instance)


And to the dudes out there, SWAGS don’t pay the BILL, CLASS do. If you like speak all the grammar in Oxford / Cambridge Dictionary, be fluent in British accent or Spanish. We aren’t interested in all that. That won’t foot our bill. We’ll stick by only if you’re hardworking. We would keep running away from you if you’re just so LAZY and keep acting like a NEVER DO WELL.

My point here is avoid judging people (generally) irrespective of their present situation or status. The future is what I always dream and aim for. I see greatness in everyone I come across.

SNIPPET STORIES by ENIOLA COLE: CHAMPION OR EX?


 
Snippet Stories For The Week.
Title: Champion or Ex?
Hello people! Welcome aboard snippet! Its story time... Snippet stories for your week (usually on sundays on Blackberry platform) is a platform and reflection of inspiration, impact and reformation/change. Oh you don't want to miss this here with me. it's all in relation to our lives. Let's see what's on deb's page for the week!
Once upon a time......! Let's roll.

Michael was a footballer and Tobi was a business boy as his friends would call him. They both thrive and were of huge successes in their various fields such that they came tops on list of Nigeria's most wealthy young men.(Now that's so cool) Michael would come back from field and sit with his friends to talk about his experiences and Tobi in his own world would would relax in his beautiful home with everyone at his beck and call.

The major drawback surfaced when Michael won the the best international player in London as a footballer, he began to miss practice thinking he had had enough and was capable of falling back on field whenever he feels like. Sometimes he would shun his coach and reject major functions. He felt on top of the world, became complacent and totally wasted his time in frivolities until he lost his position and fell; back to square one. It was indeed a painful thing for him. Tobi on the otherhand had suffered major business attacks, the stock exchange wasn't dancing to his tunes and his customers weren't smiling anymore.He blamed it on the works of his enemies, instead of seeking help and retaining advice, he stocked himself with the bad choices he made and before he could open his eyes, he was swimming in debt and heavy loss.

What does this story tell you?
The two personalities involved in this story can be traced to these two points:
If you REST, you RUST- Helen Hayes.
CHANGE is CONSTANT.

And the question is why should you become complacent just because you are already made? Don't you know there are people waiting to be in your position
Perhaps you do not know that to remain a champion, there are certain activities that must be sustained or you become an ex-champion! And you need no informant to tell you the pain and shame that comes with that. This goes to every aspect of one's life, from your business life to your spiritual life to your relationship and more.

Because you are prayerful in your secondary school days but now believe that since you have bagged your doctorate degree, you do not need to pray as much again, don't be surprise if you end up in the teeth of lions!
When you are at the peak of success is exactly when you need to buckle your shoes and shine your eyes, don't leave the rest because you have arrived, you will only rust. There is also the problem of change, we become so deeply affected by change and circumstances that it prevents us from moving forward. Also, what happened to don't put your eggs in one basket? Why do you think the past methods will stil work for the present situation?

You must note:
Change happens: keep moving that cheese!
Anticipate change: get ready for the cheese to move, anytin can happen!
Monitor and adapt to change, don't relax and suck, else you rust and get lost b'cos Jesus won't turn water to wine for you!

Move that cheese and enjoy the change, enjoy the taste of new cheese! Don't bore yourself with old stuff when opportunity or chance takes it away from you, instead project forward! Haven't you heard of forward ever and backward never?
It is your ability to maintain your position that makes you a continuous champion in that position and it's not bread and butter that you eat, whatever obstacle or obstruction be it in form of change or otherwise that comes your way should not be a basis for you to slack, you slack, you rest, you are done! Roasted like the plantain on a grill. Do everything possible not to compromise, whenever it seems you are dwindling, remember how you got to that position, that you are a champion and you do not want to lose out and become an ex-champion.

Its a matter of choice, nobody can reap what they didn't sow neither can you lose out something without someone else filling that spot, its your take... Champion or Ex?

Have a beautiful week.
Enny cole.
The helping minds support services.

POEMS by KUTI OLUMIDE: LOVE




LOVE            
Have u ever been in LOVE?
 Horrible! isn’t it?
It makes you vulnerable.
It opens your heart and chest.
Which means someone can get in and mess you up.
You build up all these defences
You build up a whole suit of armour,
So that nothing can hurt you.
Then one stupid person,
Not different from any other stupid person wanders into your life,
You give them a piece of yours they didn’t ask.
They did something one day like kiss you,
Or smile at you, then your life is no more yours.
Love takes hostages,
It gets inside you, it eats you out leaving you crying in the darkness
So simple a phrase like,
“maybe we should be friends”
Turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart.
A hurt not just in your imagination, not in your heart.
It’s a soul hurt. I hate LOVE.

BEAUTY TIPS by DEB'S BELLE & STYLES : How to fade Brown spots with Lemon Juice.



HOW TO FADE BROWN SPOTS WITH LEMON JUICE
Lemon juice clears the skin, reduces acne, softens wrinkles, removes age spots, blemishes, scars and
cleanses excess oils.Brown spots can appear on the skin in any area and can be the result of aging, sun damage, an impaired liver or a nutritional deficiency.
Brown spots can also appear in the form of streaks or blotches after using a sunless tanning cream that was
not applied evenly. Lemon juice has acidic properties that can lighten the skin and peel the first layer of skin
away over time. The juice is less expensive than creams or skin treatments, and it can be purchased in a
grocery store or squeezed from a lemon.
 

Step 1
Pour some lemon juice into a bowl. You can use bottled lemon juice or squeeze it fresh from a lemon. To use
fresh lemon juice, cut a lemon into wedges and use your fingers to squeeze the juice into the bowl. For
larger amounts, cut a lemon in half and twist each half onto a juicer, collecting the juice in a bowl.
 

Step 2
Use a cotton ball or cotton swab to apply fresh lemon  juice to the brown spots twice a day.
 

Step 3
Allow the lemon juice to dry and then rinse it away. Be sure to do this before going outdoors, because your
skin will be more sensitive to the sun while the lemon juice is still wet.
 

Step 4
Repeat daily until the spots are gone. The gradual process can take a few months as the acidic juice fades
the brown spots.
 

TIPS AND WARNINGS
-Wear sunscreen, hats and protective clothing to prevent future brown spots that occur from sun damage.
-Lemon juice can also be used to strengthen nails, lighten hair, treat dandruff and freshen breath.
-Talk to your doctor if your brown spots appeared suddenly, or are irregular and change color or size. This
could be melanoma, a type of skin cancer. You may need to lighten entire areas of skin if you have a darker
skin tone. Using lemon juice to fade brown spots works best on light skin tones and can cause splotches on
dark skin.
 

THINGS YOU'LL NEED
*Lemon or lemon juice
*Bowl
*Knife
*Juicer
*Cotton ball or swab

The EX situation: how to deal with it.

by Olamide

In life, there's this point in time you realize the reason you come across everyone you meet. Some are there to use you, hurt you, love you, teach you, bring out the best in you, motivate you,make you realize your weakness, strengths, deal with either that weakness or strength in you.

Same goes with relationship (the bf/gf thingy)., the boo boo , lovey dovey honey and those cute sweet rhymes. Yea! Obviously we love that part when the relationship's going sweet, the happiness in it and then suddenly(in Dbanj's voice) Bang! It happened. Ishes sprung up, and you kept wondering (in adele's voice) 'don't you remember the reason you loved me', the once compatible and understanding lovers turned into strangers, the relationship which was an envy to everyone turned sour and the BREAK-UP had to happen.
By the way, moving on seems tough cos it seems as if you're so into your EX and you really find it hard to believe ITS OVER, you realize the person you really loved is gone for real and ain't coming back anymore. It hurts more when you both had same acts, traits, likes*everything*(in terms of music, social life, movies)
Let's be realistic here, the once boo boo aint there anymore buh he/she is now in the list of the ex' shey but deep withn you there could either be this kinda hatred or love. Yea! Either of the aforementioned could happen. But I got rules on how to prove that height of maturity in dealing with your ex.

KEEP THAT FRIENDSHIP ZONE

Yea! He's your ex buh was once your friend before you said Yes or walked up to her. So why turn ota ojiji(strangers) let go*even though it aint really easy* ,and accept the fact that it had to happen cos you guys ain't just meant for each other. This life is too short to keep grudges *just like this yoruba proverb that says 'omi leyan, cos no matter how far you are,we just don't know where we gon end up one day or meet each other* he pings you, drops a message. Pls reply. Dahs not a 6 unit course. I have this close relationship with my ex' *not all* and I still see them as my friends. I remember a time my EX called me during my exams period and I hit him Real hard with a text message, deep down within me I felt bad even though the stupid part of me thought twas the right thing to do at that moment. Grudges, enmity, name it any thing should stop. Learn to be at peace with everyone, your EX especially.

AVOID THE DELETE BUTTON
That act of using the delete button anyhow aint just cool. That shiii kills, there's a tendency for the person to have this feeling of low self esteem(Had an ex who did that to me on all social network, it really took time before I could get over it, I actually had this intense hatred for him that I had to transfer that aggression and delete his bestie on my contact list.)I didn't only lose my EX,I lost a friend too .The delete button screws up that act of immaturity in you regardless of whatever reason you did that.

AVOID GETTING YOUR EX JEALOUS
Now this the part I love most. Why rush into every relationship few weeks after you lost one? Or(is your brain dusty?). I still haven't figured out the reason why people do such. Why don't you just sit back, give yourself this serious break, take your time to discover your flaws*if no one is ready to be sincere with you* work on yourself and hope for the best than rushing into a relationship*all cos the new dude is rich, owns a car or the new bae have unique qualities than your ex*. Believe me EX' are great stalkers, they'll watch you rush into that relationship and mock you when you're out. I had to be strict with myself with this rule of mine after my EX left *that my NEXT YES ' defintely gon my my last YES. My friends think I'm mean or wahver, some said I'd grow bears buh that's cos I know wahs best for me and I'm not just cool with jumping around on guys* aint saying you shouldn't get into another relationship buh Rushing into it *with the aim of getting your ex mad or jealous* aint the best. If you know the guy/bae would result into a serious relationship. Take your time, think 'bou it before heading on it buh if you're actually jumping in just to Pa ironu re*ease off your worries* I'm sorry, that aint cool. You're rushing.

AVOID THE USE OF VULGAR LANGUAGE
That height of stupidity is when after the break-up, you post updates on facebook, twitter, whatsapp, all social networks 'bou your ex. Mr man/Miss, nobody gives a hoot 'bou the ishes of your life, the only compensation you'll get in return is more comments on your facebook status, followers , guys/babes that'll come in disguise to show you love. Must (we) everyone know. You're now single or how does that add the 0 digit to our account. Cos she wasn't fit for you doesn't warrant the fact that you should call him/her a bitch or beast. Haba!

I believe our relationship(s) with everyone generally has a reason as I said earlier on. It helps us to know what we really want, what we don't want and what we should avoid. Cos our relationship with A didn't work out well doesn't mean the one with B wouldn't work out fine. Others are lucky doesn't mean you're ill lucked. The most important thing is discover your self*mostly your emotional stand* before taking any decision.
