Goodbye Maiden Blog

Hello world!

It’s been a minute since you last heard from me, but before I begin, let me wish you a Merry Christmas Eve.

2018 has been a year that really knocked me out in the face. It didn’t make me lose weight dramatically but it really drain every happy state of emotion out of me. I am still not ready to talk about it, but when I do, I will let you know.

The title of this post might be confusing but, here is the tea….

I am launching my new blog tomorrow.

For those of you who have been following me on my social media platforms, you must have noticed some coming soon posters around.

I am going to miss this blog so much. It has taught me to be my own boss, and taught me certain things that made me get paid writing gigs. I am so much grateful for the opportunities it has given me and the lessons it has taught me.

It was a small blog, but it was mighty.

Thank you my maiden blog. You will forever be in my heart.

And thank you too, my lovely readers, whom I call friends.

Peace out!

p.s. Click here to visit the new site, which will be launched tomorrow at 00:00 GMT. Bookmark it and visit it frequently. We have a lot in stock for you.

I love you all!

The Joy of Living Alone (Blogtober Day 14)

After entering my young adult years and saying good bye to my teenage years, I am gotten the chance to experience three different ways of living.

Living with family

Living with a roommate

Living alone

Today I was thinking and decided to weigh the pros and cons of each living situation.

This will be fun. Let’s start with living with family

Pros

Shared responsibility and chores

Family traditions and activities

Food is mostly available, if not everyday

You can borrow items like clothes, money, comb etc.

Shared bills

Cons

When you reserved some food, and you come back home seeing that someone had eaten it

When you buy food from outside and you bring it home and your younger siblings watch you. Excuse me, do I know you?

When you are having your quiet time and they are disturbing

Taking your personal item without permission.

Living with a Roommate

Pros

Someone to chat with

Someone to ask for fashion/beauty advice

Someone to laugh with

Sisterly/brotherly dates

When you are hungry, you can rely on them

Cons

Cannot stay naked

Placing something of yours at the wrong place

Playing your not so favourite kind of music

Making loud calls

Inviting the uninvited guest

Living Alone

Pros

You can spend time giving yourself a treat

You can catch up with work without any disturbance

Spend hours on something important just for you

You can wear your birthday suit

You can sing and dance like no one’s watching. And truly too, no one is watching

Cons

No one to complain about how annoying school/work was

No one to discuss a radio/Tv show/movie/novel with

The New Year Tag

It is the last day of 2016 and my last blog post of 2016.

I can’t believe I just wrote that.

Today, we have some questions here, and it is questions about the New Year. I will try and answer some of them. In the blogosphere, we call it the New Year Tag.

Anyway, let’s get started.

Pick 3 words to describe 2016.

Achievable, Great, Thief

What were the best book you read in 2016?

No Sweetness Here and other stories by Ama Ata Aidoo

Hidden Rainbow by Christmas Carol Kauffman

Women Who Run With the Wolves by Clarissa Pinkola Estes

Skipping Christmas by John Grisham

What was your biggest change from January to December?

Cutting my hair

What was the biggest thing you learnt?

Life is short. Live in the moment

What was one New Year resolution that you accomplished?

I have stop the habit of making New Year resolutions

Something you’re looking forward to this coming year.

Something concerning education…..watch out for it.

Life Lately

Hi! I went missing in action (M.I.A) a little bit. But I am back and will hang around for a long time.

Yes! A very looong time.

\

It’s time for me to catch up with my favourite blogs, novels waiting for me in a suburb of the city and so many other things I want to tell you about.

UEW NUGS Excellence Awards.

If you didn’t know, yours truly won the excellence Awards for Best Student Writer. My head wants to explode because I am writing this. I am one step moving there. Being a writer, and inspiring others to do the same.

Aboakyer 2016 + Exams

Ugh… I don’t feel like talking about this, because I did not get the time to celebrate, but I did a little bit of it. Exams started before the festival, so there was no desire and no time to observe, but anyway, there is always next year.

Moving On Up

{Source}

I can’t believe I am moving to the city and will come back to my adventurous town after the New Year. It looks very far far away, and I’ll miss the people who make me desire for an adventure. I’ll miss the people who annoy me, make me laugh, give me a shoulder to rely on. I’ll miss the mood of the town. We finish writing our papers and doing presentations last Friday, and we wanted to take a group picture of group selfie with our friends and mates, but it rained and everyone scattered and were running in the rain. Hopefully, no one slipped, hehehe xx. We have already started missing everyone, and the life.

Blogging Awards

Coming Friday is the Ghana Blogging and Social Media Awards, and I am now freaking out. I haven’t picked my dress yet, and haven’t decided what I will be doing and all, but I am excited to be attending. I hope to make new friends, and drink like an executive, with my legs crossed, and with me, swirling my drink in my glass. 

What have you been up to?

Friends Are More Important Than Money: The 2016 Manifesto Of The MDAM Blog

Good morning, guys. Hey! It’s the first Monday of the year, 2016. I guess you are all going back to work or school or somewhere else.

Anyway, how is your New Year? Are you feeling sweet sixteen like me? I mean, it’s 2016, guys! This is the year you should feel sweet sixteen. If your 16 year old life was a mess, this is the time for you to correct mistakes and live your good life, you know.

Some of you have made New Year resolutions and, I would like to say, all the best with that. I have stop making New Year resolutions, but rather I make goals, or should I say, bucket lists.

Last year before it ended, I wrote a manifesto to live a good life, or a better one, so I had ideas from my journals and my little red bag.

Yeah, that little red bag.

So, I present to you, the 2016 Manifesto of the MDAM Blog, with the theme, Friends Are More Important Than Money.

Walk more.

Embrace the beach

Capture the memories

Write BIG

Smile more

Trust in God

Believe in yourself

Save money

Get outdoors more

Dream BIG

Read, read and read

Be fit for life

Make a new friend

Listen more, speak less

Be grateful for everything, even trials

Happy 2015!!!!

Happy New Year, sweethearts!

 I'm not asleep yet. It's almost 4, yeah I know. There's so much fun around, I just can't sleep. Anyway, there's this festival going on in Winneba. I'm not sure whether I'll attend, but let's see.

The last but one Sunday before Christmas, a brother of mine at church, gave a talk and his title was Spiritual Target. This year, I want to focus on my spiritual life more. Even though I have set 101 goals to be fulfilled in 1001 days, I have 3 main goals to fulfill before 2015 ends.

• To find inner peace
•  To develop the qualities of a good woman
•  To be strong and healthy

 
 Anyway, Happy New Year and let's toss to the new year!

 Stay sweet!
