THIS IS A VERY QUICK POST TO SAY FIRST MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU AND HAPPY NEW YEAR 2015 TO EVERYONE WHO PASSED BY .
I JUST THANK YOU VERY MUCH TO GIVE ME SOME OF YOUR EXTRA TIME AND SWEET ATTENTION DURING ALL THE YEAR 2014. LOL !
I KNOW I AM LATE BUT I HAVE THE FLU AND I CAN'T EVEN LEAVE MY BED.
YES! IT IS THAT BAD. SO WE WILL SEE NEXT YEAR WHEN I WILL BE IN BETTER HEALTH. SORRY GUYS !
TAKE CARE AND MAY GOD BLESSED YOU THIS YEAR IN EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE.
I WAS OFF SICK AGAIN BECAUSE OF THIS DAM FIBROIDS THE PAIN WAS SO STRONG THAT I HAD TO STAY IN MY BED FOR MOST THAN A WEEK.
THEY GAVE ME STRONGER MEDICATION SO NOW I AM FEELING BETTER. I COULD BE ABLE TO GET BACK TO WORK ON FRIDAY BUT THE REAL TEST WILL BE NEXT MONTH DURING MY PERIOD. YES THIS WHEN THE PAIN IS OUT OF CONTROL. I AM TRYING TO BE POSITIVE AND NOT THINKING ABOUT IT.
CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEAR EVE ARE COMING AND FOR ME IT WAS SO QUICK MAYBE BECAUSE I LOST MY DAD BUT NEXT YEAR MY MUM WILL COME AND STAY FEW MONTHS WITH ME HERE IN LONDON.
BECAUSE MY SISTER'S HAIR IS DOING WELL WITH A MINIMUM OF INTERVENTION (LOOK AT MY LAST POST) I PROMISE MYSELF TO DO THE SAME THINGS.
SO SINCE NOW JUST CO-WASHING EVERY 2 WEEKS, CASTOR OIL TREATMENT AND BRAIDS AFTER FOR 6 WEEKS.
TO BE HONEST I AM STARTING TO GET BORED BY ALL MY FAILED ATTEMPTS TO TRY NEW HAIRSTYLES OR OIL/ HERBS TREATMENT ... LOL I STOPPED BEEN WORRIED ABOUT THE LENGTH TOO BECAUSE I ALSO HAVE A DIFFICULTY TO EVEN MAKE A PERFECT BUN. ( I AM NOT JAZZWIFE..LOL)
PLUS ALSO AT SCHOOL A STUDENT TOLD ME THAT SHE LIKES THE WAY I WAS TAKING CARE OF MY HAIR "WITHOUT TOO MUCH DRAMA"???? ACCORDING TO HER. SO NOW SHE JUST CUT OFF HER HAIR SHORT.
SHE TOLD ME NO MORE WIGS BECAUSE SHE USED TO WORE THEM. SHE ALSO TOLD ME THAT SHE WILL PROBABLY WEAR BRAIDS WITH EXTENSION IN THE FUTURE WHEN HER HAIR WILL BE A LITTLE BIT LONGER.
I WAS SO SURPRISED THAT SHE WANTED TO DO HER HAIR THIS WAY BECAUSE O F ME. IT IS FUNNY YOU MAY THINK THAT WHAT YOU HAVE OR DO HAS NOT SO MUCH IMPACT BUT GUESS WHAT THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE THAT CAN BE INSPIRED.
THAT'S WHY I SHOULD ACCEPT MY HAIR ( MY WHOLE BODY) THE WAY IT IS WITHOUT WORRIES AND ESPECIALLY WITHOUT ANY COMPARISON...
I WILL JUST TAKE CARE OF IT IN A HEALTHY WAY....LOL
Father God, I Thank you for being fearfully and wonderfully made. Thank you for taking your time to design me exactly the way You wanted me to be! Forgive me Father for allowing the opinion of other to cause me to want to alter what you the creator has purposely design. Thank You Jesus! AMEN !
IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I DID NOT POST ANY THING ABOUT MY SISTER 'S HAIR. I AM STILL THE ONE WHO IS DOING IT SOMETIMES BUT MY SISTER IS MORE LAZY THAN ME WHEN IT COMES TO TAKE CARE OF HER HAIR.
I LIKE TO EXPERIMENT SOME HAIRSTYLES AND TECHNICS ON HER BECAUSE I HAVE A VERY DIFFICULT TIME TO DO IT ON ME.

NOVEMBER 2014
MOST OF THE TIME SHE ASKED ME TO JUST BRAID OR COLOUR IT ( SHE HAS MORE GREEN HAIR THAN ME...HA ! HA! HA ! ) AND SHE KEPT IT FOR 6 WEEKS WITH A 2 WEEKS CO WASH BREAK AND THAT'S IT.
NOVEMBER 2012
NOVEMBER 2014
SHE IS ONLY APPLYING CASTOR OIL WHEN SHE WASHED IT AND OF COURSE SHE IS WEARING BANDANNA ALL THE TIME.
NO ITCHING PROBLEMS LIKE ME.... SHE JUST LEAVE IT ALONE. AND GUESS WHAT SHE HAS BETTER RESULT THAN ME ........ SO SO UNFAIR . LOL

YOU KNOW HOW I LOOOOVE DOING A HAIR ESPECIALLY BECAUSE OF THE TEXTURE. PLUS COMPARE TO MINE, HER HAIR ARE GROWING WHEN SHE IS NOT EVEN DOING ANYTHING SPECIAL. SHE IS SO LUCKY.

NOVEMBER 2014
LAST WEEK SHE ASKED ME TO BLOW DRY HER HAIR AND TO MAKE JUT 8 BIG FLAT BRAIDS THAT SHE INTEND TO KEEP AT LEAST UNTIL CHRISTMAS. AS USUAL WITH A VERY LOW MAINTENANCE.
I AM HAPPY FOR HER BUT SOMETIME I AM MAD BECAUSE SHE CAN'T DO MY HAIR PROPERLY OR EXACTLY THE WAY I AM DOING HERS AND THAT'S NOT VERY FAIR BECAUSE AFTER ALL SHE IS BENEFICING OF " MY MAGIC TOUCH ".! LOL

NOVEMBER 2014
WHEN I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO HER MY FEELINGS, SHE IS JUST LAUGH AT ME AND SAID TO ME ALL THE TIME :
" I TOLD YOU TO STOP BOTHERING YOUR HAIR. LOOK AT ME I AM DOING LESS THAN YOU AND I HAVE BETTER RESULTS."
AND I THINK SHE IS RIGHT SOMETIMES LESS IS THE BEST. BY THE WAY I THINK I HEARD THAT BEFORE.... MMMMMMMM..... LOL
I HAD ENOUGH WITH MY MINI LOCKS SO I TOOK THEM OFF AND I ALSO TRIMMED MY ENDINGS BECAUSE THEY WERE QUITE DAMAGED. I DON' T THINK THAT I WILL DO IT AGAIN.
THE DETANGLING PROCESS WAS SCARY BECAUSE I THINK I LOST TOO MUCH HAIR. THE SHRINKAGE AGAIN IS VERY OBVIOUS BUT NOW I DON'T CARE ANY MORE. I JUST WANTED MY HAIR FREE.
IT TOOK ME THE ALL DAY TO TAKE THEM OFF AND MY ARMS WERE PAINFUL AT THE END. THEN I HAD TO SATURATE MY HAIR WITH SOME COCONUT OIL PLUS A CONDITIONER SO I COULD BRUSH AND COMB MY HAIR BEFORE WASHING IT.
WHEN I RINSED, IT WAS MORE EASIER FOR ME TO MANAGE BUT I HAD SO MUCH SPLIT ENDS THAT I DID 4 BRAIDS AND CUT MY HAIR. I THINK SERIOUSLY TO GO TO A PROFESSIONAL HAIRSTYLIST FOR IT.
NEAR MY HOUSE THERE ONE SO I NEED TO CHECK BUT I AM NOT TRUSTING ANYBODY WITH MY HAIR EXCEPT MY MUM OR MY SISTER , THE LAST TIME I WENT TO A SALON IT WAS 20 YEARS AGO.!!!! YES IT HAS BEEN A LONG TIME. LOL
I ALSO INTEND TO MAKE A PROFESSIONAL BLOW DRY AND FLAT IRON ON MY HAIR IN ORDER TO HAVE A REAL IDEA OF MY LENGTH. THE SHRINKAGE CAN BE DEPRESSING SOMETIMES.
I HAVE ONE WEEK OFF SO MY HAIR WILL REST AND I WILL LET MY SISTER MAKE NEW BRAIDS BUT THIS TIME A LITTLE BIT THICKER. AUTUMN IS THERE SO IT IS PROTECTIVE STYLES FOR A GOOD GOOD TIME. LOL
IT 'S BEEN TWO WEEKS NOW THAT I AM BACK TO WORK AND I AM QUITE HAPPY THAT IT WASN'T THAT HARD FOR ME AFTER 5 MORE WEEKS OF REST.
THE KIDS WERE FANTASTIC AND SO HAPPY TO SEE ME BACK.
IT WAS SO STRANGE FOR ME ESPECIALLY THAT I AM VERY STRICT WITH THEM.
BUT IT IS NICE TO FEEL MISSED. LOL.
Sorry for my sister she is always on my background. LOL
THE NEW STUDENTS I WORK WITH ARE QUITE SEVERE BUT I THINK THAT THEY WILL FIND THEM ANOTHER SPECIAL SCHOOL MORE ADAPTED TO THEIR NEEDS. THAT'S SAD BECAUSE THEY ARE VERY NICE TO ME.
WHICH BRING ME TO AN ENGLISH LESSON THAT I HAD ON MONDAY ABOUT THE GOTHIC GENRE. SO THE TEACHER JUST MADE US WATCH THIS ANIMATED MOVIE TITLED " ALMA " AND I JUST FOUND IT BRILLIANT. BECAUSE IT IS VERY SHORT ( 5 MIN ) I WILL NOT MAKE A SUMMERY. JUST WATCH!
BUT I COULD EASILY FIND MYSELF IN THAT KIND OF SITUATION WHEN YOU ARE JUST AMAZED / FASCINATED BY YOUR OWN REFLECTION, THROUGH A PICTURE ESPECIALLY WHEN I HAD TO CHOOSE ONE FOR ILLUSTRATING A POST.
IT IS SOMETIMES DIFFICULT BECAUSE I AM LIKE..... WHICH ONE IS THE BEST ? OR THIS ONE IS JUST PERFECT ? IS IT REALLY ME ? LOL ( YES I HAVE A HIGH OPINION OF MYSELF... LOL). THANKFULLY FOR ME WHEN I CHOOSE A PICTURE NOTHING STRANGE HAPPENS LIKE BEING ABSORBED AND TRAPPED BY THE COMPUTER. ( SORRY FOR THE SPOILED ALERT! ).
MY SECOND CHOICE IS NAMED " SWING OF CHANGE " (6 MIN) AND I DEDICATE IT ESPECIALLY TO JAZZ WIFE FROM SLIMWAVY 'S BLOG. I HOPE SHE WILL APPRECIATE IT.
I CHOOSE ALSO THIS ONE BECAUSE HERE IN THE UK THIS IS BLACK HISTORY MONTH AND ALL THE LESSONS DURING OCTOBER WILL BE FOCUS AND ADAPTED ON IT.
THIS ANIMATED MOVIE IS SO AWESOME AND SO DEEP FOR ME BECAUSE IT ILLUSTRATES HOW THE SEGREGATION WAS IN AMERICA AND HOW SOMETIMES ART ESPECIALLY MUSIC CAN CHANGE PEOPLE MINDS AND PERCEPTIONS.
MUSIC HAS SUCH AN IMPACT ON PEOPLE THAT IT CAN INFLUENCE BAD OR GOOD ( IN THIS CASE ) ANYONE OR ANY SITUATION.
I CAN SPEAK FOR MYSELF. WHEN I AM SAD I JUST PUT SOME MUSIC AND I FEEL BETTER. SOME SONGS MADE ME THINK AND RECONSIDER MY WAY OF SEEING THINGS.
YES ! MUSIC IS POWERFUL NEVER UNDERESTIMATE ITS INFLUENCE.
THE SWING OF CHANGE IS REAL FOLKS AND IT CAN TOUCH ANYBODY.
THIS IS MY LAST WEEK OF " REST" SO I WANT TO PROFIT A MAXIMUM OF IT.
I STILL HAVE MY LOCKS BUT I THINK THAT I WILL TAKE THEM OFF BECAUSE I AM BORED WITH THE STYLE.
I THOUGHT THAT I WILL KEEP THEM UNTIL DECEMBER BUT I GOT THE IMPRESSION THAT THE DETANGLING PROCESS WILL BE VERY DIFFICULT AND PAINFUL. I AM AFRAID THAT I WILL CUT OR LOOSE A LOT OF HAIR.
EVEN IF I DID ENJOY THE HAIRSTYLE I THINK THAT TO GET BACK TO WORK I NEED TO HAVE MY HAIR IN A SCARF OR JUST 2 BRAIDS SO I WILL DO A LOT OF DEEP CONDITIONINGS BEFORE THE WINTER IS COMING. I WANT TO DO IT EACH WEEK.
I AM NOT TOO EXCITED TO GO BACK TO WORK BUT I AM HAPPY TO HAVE MY HOLIDAY (5 WEEKS) BACK BECAUSE ALL MY SUMMER HOLIDAYS (5 WEEKS) WERE SPENT AT ORGANISING MY DAD'S FUNERAL AND I DON'T NEED TO TALK ABOUT ALL THE FAMILY DRAMA... I WAS LIKE REALLY DRAINED FROM INSIDE. NOW I START TO FEEL MORE BETTER, THANKS GOD.
WITH THIS HAIR STYLE I TRY TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND SIMPLE. SO I USED 3 BOBBY PEENS TO TIDE THE BACK OF MY HAIR AND BRING THE LOCKS AT THE FRONT TO MAKE A BANGLE. AND THAT'S IT. LOL BECAUSE IT DOESN'T LOOK LIKE THAT I HAVE LOCKS IT 'S MORE LIKE MY HAIR ARE
CURLY.
IN ANOTHER SUBJECT, I HAVE NEW RESOLUTIONS SINCE MY DAD DIED. THE MAIN ONE IS TO TAKE SOME ACTIONS, IN FACT I NEED TO FIGHT SOME OF THE FEARS THAT I HAVE. AND THERE ARE PLENTY. I WILL TRY ...... NO I WILL USE THESE ADVICES FROM PASTOR SAM ADEYEMI. I LOVE IS EXPLANATION: For you to be able to take action you must overcome fear. Fear paralyses initiative,kills the imagination,stops us from moving,kills initiatives. Fear kills enthusiasm Fear destroys self-control. Do what fear said you should not do. Fear is dangerous. If you try nothing you will achieve absolutely nothing. Fear breeds procrastination The fear of failure is one of the greatest guarantees of failure in this world. It is not a crime to fail. There is the fear of failure There is the fear of rejection You must kill fear;you must deal with fear Fear creates big doubt we must break free from the hold of fear. Do what you fear and the death of fear is certain
IT'S BEEN ALMOST 3 WEEKS NOW THAT I HAVE NOT BEEN TO WORK.
I ONLY WORKED LIKE 2 DAY SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE SCHOOL.
I SUDDENLY DID NOT FELT WELL IN MY HEAD. I COULDN'T SLEEP. IT WAS SO BAD THAT I HAVE TO CALL THEM AND TOLD THEM I WAS IN A VERY BAD MOOD SINCE MY DAD DIED.
I WENT TO MY GP AND HE GAVE ME FIRST 2 WEEKS BUT BEFORE THE END I STARTED TO FEEL MORE PAIN IN MY TUMMY SO I WENT BACK AND MY GP GAVE ME 3 MORE WEEKS. MY FIBROIDS PAINS STARTED AGAIN JUST WHEN I CAME BACK.
SO BASICALLY I HAD 5 WEEKS FOR SICKNESS.
MY HOLIDAY WERE FOR 5 WEEKS.AND I SPEND 4 WEEKS IN CAMEROON. SO I AM HAPPY BECAUSE I HAD THEM BACK ..... THANK YOU GOD.
I NEED TO STAY AT HOME AND JUST RELAX.
I THINK THE DEATH OF MY DAD DID AFFECT ME MORE THAN I THOUGH.
PLUS IT WASN'T REALLY HOLIDAY FOR ME BECAUSE I SPENT ALL THE TIME TO ORGANISE THE FUNERAL. PLUS WITH ALL THE DRAMA SURROUNDINGS THE ORGANISATION (YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT THE TRADITIONAL ASPECT OF THE EVENT).
I DON'T FEEL THE NEED TO DO ANYTHING. EVEN WITH MY HAIR IT IS EASY BECAUSE I HAVE LOCKS BUT TO BE HONEST YOU CAN'T SEE THEM .LOL
SERIOUSLY IT'S LIKE THEY HIDING. I HOPE I WILL BE ABLE TO KEEP THEM UNTIL DECEMBER ..... BUT WITH MY HAIR I DON'T KNOW.
AND I HAVE ANOTHER PROBLEM HOW I WILL BE ABLE TO " UN-LOCK THEM" I NEED NOW TO LOOK AT SOME TUTORIALS BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO BREAK MY HAIR WHEN THAT TIME WILL HAPPEN.
SO ME AND MY LOCKS ARE HIDING FROM PEOPLE AND I THINK THAT'S COOL BECAUSE WE REALLY NEED TO REST.LOL
BECAUSE MY DAD DIED 4 DAYS AFTER MY ARRIVAL I HAD TO CHANGE MY PLAN FOR THE WHOLE HOLIDAY.
FOR ME IT WAS JUST THAT I HAD TO BURY HIM LIKE QUICKLY ( 2 WEEKS MAYBE?????/) DON'T LAUGH I WANTED JUST TO AVOID THINKING ABOUT IT TOO MUCH.
PLUS MOST OF THE TIME WHEN I AM GOING TO SHOPPING I KNOW WHAT I WANT TO SPEND AND BUY. BUT FOR FUNERAL ................ IT IS NOT THE SAME THING ESPECIALLY WHEN MY DAD HAD MADE SOME SUGGESTIONS THAT WE MUST FOLLOW WITHOUT DISCUSSION..
MY LITTLE NIECE MADE THEM IN ONE HOUR.
IN CAMEROON FUNERAL INVOLVE THE WHOLE FAMILY AND BELIEVE ME IT IS HUGE. AS WOMEN WE HAVE TO FOLLOW SOME RESTRICTION ESPECIALLY THE HAIR. TECHNICALLY I MUST HAVE CUT OR SHAVE MY HEAD ( ONLY THE WIDOW AND THEDAUGHTERS ).
I HOPE SOMEBODY WILL BE ABLE TO TELL ME MY REAL TEXTURE.
I DIDN'T WANT TO BUT THEY TOLD ME THAT I CAN WEAR A HAIRSTYLE WHICH WILL NOT REQUIRE A FASHION STYLE. SO MUST OF THE WOMEN WHEN THEY DON'T WANT TO CUT THEIR HAIR, THEY JUST BRAID IT AND COVER WITH A TRADITIONAL SCARF,
YOU HAVE TO DO IT AT LEAST 6 MONTHS. I OPTED FOR LOCKS. BECAUSE I KNOW THAT IT WILL BE EASY TO KEEP THEM 6 MONTHS.
THE PROBLEM IT'S THAT I JUST REALISED THAT MY HAIR ARE NOT 4C SO TO OBTAIN GOOD LOCKS WILL BE DIFFICULT.
IN THE BEGINNING, IT WAS OK BUT THE MORE I WASH MY HAIR , THE MORE I REALISE THAT I CAN'T NOT LOCK IT PROPERLY. NEVER MIND I WILL MANAGE TO KEEP IT THAT WAY THE BEST I CAN.
AT THE END IT IS ABOUT HONOURING MY DAD.
I PLAN TO USE CASTOR OIL, LEAVE IN CONDITIONER AND SHEA BUTTER. I ALSO WILL ESSENTIALLY CO WASH IT. OF COURSE I CAN GO TO YOUTUBE TO LEARN HOW TO MAINTAIN MY FRAGILE LOCKS.
BUT I REALLY NEED TO KNOW MY REAL TEXTURE. AGAIN I AM A LITTLE BIT LOST.
AFTER THE FIRST CO WASH MY SHRINKAGE AT ITS BEST.LOL
