7 Things you don’t know About Me...UNTIL NOW

I've been trying to dodge all these type of stuff for a long time now, but Jaja got me at a time when I had some spare time.

1. Every time I look at the number plates on cars, I try to do some number sorting with what I see: Ascending to descending, vice-versa. It happens almost every time

2. If I'm going to be using a computer for more than a week, I tend to change the basic settings: Windows theme (Usually Windows Classic with some color scheme; I hate all those darned graphics that eat up "memory"), desktop background; install Mozilla Firefox x.x or Apple's Safari BEFORE I settle down to use.

3. If I get a new book, I like opening it up and smelling it, it's odd, but I do. Sometimes, I do it to the food I'd be eating, too. Mom's scolded me countless times over this, but I almost can't stop. I usually do it when no one is looking.

4. I talk to myself when I'm alone. I basically rehearse scenes or create new scenes. Like what I'd do if I find myself in "A" situation, how I'd react, what I'd say and stuff.
Usually, you see me smiling and you'd think I'm losing it. I just probably remembered a past incident either a physical encounter or some interesting part in a book I read, or movie I saw.

5. You almost always find sweets, gum or some snack in my bag. Open any carry-on I usually go about with and you could just be doing a lucky dip!

6. I'm used to stocking toiletries and stationeries et al. I worry that someday, I might run out of money and I wouldn't be able to afford these things I'm used to, the bare necessities OR that the "system" will collapse, there wouldn't be these things available and it'd be only a matter of time before my stock runs out and then we start eating ourselves.

7. I'm an impulsive buyer. If it catches my eyes AND I've got the means - bam, I go for it!!! Very risky, esp. when I carry these debit cards and ATMs at almost every corner in this town. Thank God say I never upgrade to credit card level, it'd be another story.

One jara no de kill...

8. This is more recent; I find it hard to turn away from book deals and it almost always happens that my type of books are available at those places, so I end buying a lot of them. I have close to 10 I've yet to read and I know very soon, I'll finish the rest of them.

STRIKE:

Thank God the strike is over. I knew by Friday things would be back to "normal" latest before Monday (today). People were already tired of the whole thing self. The govt agreed to return the VAT from 10 to 5%, some more indigenous share in the refinery sales stakes (wateva that'd help with), #70 per liter for petrol (the price for petrol they say would not be reviewed for the next 12 months, so after 12 months of holiday, we should expect anything) and then price per liter for Kerosene and diesel will return to what it formerly was. I wouldn't say Labor got a fair deal, but what can one do?! This martial state we find ourselves in in Naija, na God go save us. The "leaders" know they can just squeeze the masses, and when Labor cries foul, they could always reach a settlement, with the rest of the population accepting their fate, no massive protest. Under those circumstances, Nigerians would scream from their living-/bedrooms, with remote control in their hands over how the government is run. No one wants to die for any kind yeye cause. I wouldn't be the first to get slugs out of my body, sha and that's where the problem lies.

I won't go over this, now...gotta get back on the grind. BRB, guys! And y'all have a good week ahead!
