A Review of Maria’s 2015

First of all, i want to say a super huge Thank you to everyone who was part of my 2015! To my blogging community, i am glad you all came along for the ride whether you are a follower, reader, or someone who stopped once in a while to like or comment on a post that interested you. Big Hugs for you. I pray to continue to see your smiling faces, continue to grow, and gather new smiling faces in 2016….Muuuuuah!!

Secondly, my review is a list of the things/events i did in 2015, (starting from January) things that i never would have imagined in my previous years that i could do..*Wheew* Are You Ready?

1. i actually ate oats(in January), can you believe that? doesn’t sound like much but for me it is, i always read about oats being a fantastic meal, i tried it so many times with more sugar and more milk, thinking it would be sweet and i would love it, but i never did get past the first teaspoon. i wrote about my ordeal once with oats, i actually now eat it everyday..what does that tell you? All you have to do is tell yourself…Yes I Can!! And you can do anything you want to.

   

   oatmeal…knew i would find a picture on instagram. yeah i know the cheese doesn’t qualify health-wise

2. i actually voted…exercised by voters right to vote (In March), well i never thought voting counts for anything, even though i only voted for the seat of the presidency…i voted! Are you going to ask who i voted for? I wrote a piece about the elections here…hehehe.

   

   That was where i exercised my right to vote as a Nigerian citizen. Hmm

3. i visited a beach (not new), (in April)but got into the water, now that’s new….hehehe and on top of that i got into a pool too(in July), proud to say i can now float in a pool..not swim, haha, that needs extra lessons.

hahaha..i can float….Yipeeeeeeeee.

4. i made braids….yikes(in June), this is huge..hahaha, those who know me know i never made attachments all through my primary school to university days, i just hated the thought, much less sitting in the salon to make braids. *Yuck* it looked so stressful, then i decided to do it and not only did i carry it for two months, i also fell in love with it and it is now my favourite hairstyle, aside fringe*winks*, made it four times last year.

that was the day i made my first thousand braids..it turned out to be not so stressful

5. i traveled to Osogbo city(in June), a town i always craved to visit because my best friend lived there, this was a sad one for me actually, so sad because i was there to say my last goodbye to her. She was on my mind all through the holidays, will tell you about my female best friend in a later post.

my best friend…i still cant believe it. I know you are in a better place. Rest on Sweetie

6. i traveled out of my country(in June)…i actually made use of my passport for something asides documentation..haha, nice, will tell you about my trip in a later post and i was in a chapel at least 5 days of the week for morning mass(i so am not a church-goer), woow it was a glorious experience, that community was beyond super super super awesome! I loved every bit of it. No sentiments, no judgements, LOVE all the way..

Padre Mary as i was fondly called..or Sister Maria as the case may be!! Haha. Like Padre Maria more…

7. i discovered that apart from being diverse in my fields of study(In August), i am also diverse in my nationalities. i am pleased to tell you that i am a full blooded Nigerian, Part Asian(always know that), part Polish(newly discovered) and Extremely African…i am dudu by nature!! Hahaha

Oh yeeah..that’s me right there…mhhhh…if you don’t love yourself, no one will!!!

8. i touched a snake..oh my(in August), this is a creature i dislike so much(hearing its name or seeing it gives me nightmares for at least a week) that i don’t call it by its name or like hearing its name much less setting my eyes on it on the TV, be it a documentary or in a movie, much much less seeing it live, much much much much less touching it….holding it….carrying it. Someone wake me up please…OOh i touched a Crocodile too..wanna see?? At a point my mom commented on my new found bravity or is it boldness…

i wasn’t alone..the guide was right behind me…Loool

oh yeah..i again and oh no it wasn’t a necklace, it was a very alive African royal python…according to the snake owner at least!!

9. last but not the least, i made super wonderful new friends….
