IT WAS PAUSED

This post is coming to you LIVE at midnight. Well, not exactly 12 midnight, but some minutes past 12am. By the time I finished writing this post, it might be almost 1am.

Anyway, so the festive season was been put on hold, at least for some time before they declared who won the trip to the Flagstaff house. The sentence looked literary to me; Christmas Has Been Put On Hold. It can be used as a story for kids, if you ask me. So, everything festive was on hold in Ghana.

The internet on this side of the world has been filled with political and electoral posts. The funny electoral memes keeps us alive, and makes us laugh with tears coming out.😂

After voting on Wednesday, there was so much tension the next day. I would term it silent tension, because when I was going to work on Thursday, there was literally no one in town.

I mean it.

No traffic, no cars, no people. We could cross the road without looking left or right. It was terrifying.

Where was everyone? Well, it’s nothing to worry about. 😳

But I am proud of Ghanaians of the peace sustained. ✌✌✌

I salute you all, including myself.

This December is surely full of miracles. Hashtag December Miracles.

See you tomorrow, for another blogmas post. Enjoy your weekend.

The Quiet Talkative

I am the least famous girl in my class or among a group of people. People hardly notice me. I mean, I go to class, I sit, when it’s over, I’m out. I just don’t talk.

If I ever get noticed, it because of my name. Seriously. People (lecturers and students) would like to know who Marietta Grant DeGrant is, either they saw the name in the class register or in a group project work and expect to see a white lady.

Ugh. It’s so frustrating

If I was called Afua Adoma, like I wouldn’t get noticed at all.

Never.

Even with that, the number of ladies studying my course are just 14, so we can easily be spotted.

I might be quiet all the time, but trust me, I am a talkative.

You don’t believe me?

I know, if I’m in a group of people walking together, you hardly hear my voice. If you do, then I am laughing at someone’s joke and that’s one thing people hate about me.

I know, right. It can be boring.

But trust me, I am a talkative.

Just be alone with me, and hear me talk and rant. I like one to one conversations, rather than one to many.

*wink*

That explains why I panic anytime I stand in front of people to speak. That is another thing to write about, but I am a talkative. I even had person telling me “You talk too much.” We used to keep in touch by phone. When he told me I talk too much, in fact, I was delighted instead of getting mad. I don’t normally hear that about myself. I see it as a compliment, trust me. He did not say it in an annoying way but even if he did, I’ll be happy to hear that.

I am a quiet talkative.

The Friday Born, according to Creo’s Concept

My name is Afua, Afia, Afi. It is the name(s) given to a Ghanaian girl born on Friday.

Last two weeks or so, Creo’sConcept uploaded pictures and characteristics of girls born on each day. They really know how to put us in suspense. I know. They did it to me, uploading this image as Afua Friday morning.

I frowned. How can they do this to Friday born? But I felt from the beginning that, it was just a prank and they uploaded this later in the day.

They got us, didn’t they?

The Friday born is

A music lover

A deep thinker

Sensitive

Passionate

Talented!

And I totally agree!

Yes! It feels as if they interviewed me about my personality, which brought out the outcome.

I am a music lover. I can abuse music.

Meaning I can play music the whole time without getting tired.

Yes!

I am very sensitive. I even wanted them to add emotional to it.

Friday Borns Rock!

I have said it.

Gari Saved My Life

Sometime ago, I was so exhausted and famished from long lectures. I could barely walk back home.

There was some good news and some bad news.
The good news: Lectures was over
The Bad news: I have no food at home yet.
Bummer!
So, I had to get some fast food.
Thank goodness for gari.
I took my mug, poured some gari, added milk, sugar, some groundnuts and water, mixed all up and ate.
That was my almighty "Gari soakings".
My life saver.
Gari is a fast food which mostly has no attractive package but it is patronized by every Ghanaian. Gari can be used for 3ba, gari and shito (GariShit), gari fortor and other meals.
We thank goodness that Gari can be a fast food when you are on the verge of fainting.
Have faith in gari.
