Now to the award's question

10 FACTS  ABOUT ME

1) I have a naturally curly hair. This kinda annoys me sometimes, because, it is often difficult to straighten.Even when I straighten it ,turns frizzy so soon. But I still love my hair and I love to flaunt it *winks*

2) I am naturally an introvert though many folks would not believe me. I had to learn to talk and express myself without fear.

3)I enjoy fantasising a lot. Infact, in my teenage years, I had some hot and cool imaginary friends. Don't ask me for details o, that's gist for another day.

4) This might sound unusual  but its true.I have a tomboy streak in me. I guess that explains my fascination with sneakers, polo shirts, all-stars and boy cut hairstyles. Dong! I guess you never imagined that part of me.

5) I love children a lot and i also love instilling godly virtues in them. Maybe that's why I teach children Sunday school. But, I have a confession to make. I have more hots for female children because I can dress them up more gorgeously. *Rotfl*

6) I am very romantic at heart but I like to form tough babe!.... na lie o.

7) I love shopping!!! which girl doesn't?

8) I don't know how to swim even though I indicated swimming as part of my hobbies while filling my jamb form several years back. Chaii!

9) I am a book addict,I love reading and researching *feeling fly*

10) I love watching cartoons and animated series.

Liebster awards coming soon and guys!!! you don't want to miss my next post....

I went shopping as planned and made some purchases. Then my eye caught something,It was a pair of nude wedge sandals!!! At that moment I fell in love , I began to think of how those sandals would look good on me. I was breathless at the sight of the rare beauty.I felt like I was in paradise . I began to imagine how I would rock the sandals to work,church and of course, dates. I could not wait to take my baby home!!!!  Wait a minute, do I have enough money to buy these sandals ...Bang!!!! Then I came back to reality. 

While I just got paid, I couldn't afford the sandals because it wasn't planned in my shopping budget. If I bought the sandals from my other budgets,the items on the other budgets might end up unattended to.

I continued my shopping but couldn't stop thinking about my new love. I went through my budget in my head to see if there was a way I could cut corners in my budget so as to be able to buy those shoes. My desires told me I could afford the shoes but common sense told me it was not a wise decision and besides I already had  some nude flats. But  I love those nude sandals *wails*

Before you think I am crazy ,here  three things you might not know about nude colored shoes

#1) Nude color is very sexy and mature.

#2) Nude shoes/Bags goes with any outfit except natives...hmmm,maybe  some natives but not all.

#3) Nude shoes makes your legs look longer and well defined .

Lastly, Whatever! I don't care, nude color is so hot and trending! lol

Now, I guess you have had enough of the nude shoes madness. I just couldn't help it. Did I go back to by those nude shoes . No I didn't. I reasoned that it was just a desire not a need.I was grateful I followed my sense of reason than my desires. 

My question is how easy is it to make daily  decisions between our needs and our desires? Sincerely, I still struggle with the temptation of going back to get the new shoes. I am wondering if this is natural or am I just been greedy.

PS: Frances I promiseeee, I would answer my awards question in my next post.

Hmmm, the great comeback! sounds like a movie huh! Exactly !I have been working on a movie for quite a while. let me tell you  bit about it. I got this great role where I was to play a rich spoilt girl. How did I get the role? (That will be gist for another day).

In the movie ,I was to act as the love interest of a 30 something married male model . Hot ehhh! I know, it just that I don't do married men in real life.
For the movie ,I had to lose some weight and right now, I am a ravishing size 4. If you think I am anorexic ,na you sabi! Shooting the movie was one of the best experiences of my life. The movie is coming to the cinemas in July.I will giving away some free tickets to movie, if you are interested, contact me on flossy.242@gmail.com.

Gosh! I can't believe I pulled a fast on you. Roftl, movie ko ,movie ni. I acted the film inside my mind. lolzzzzzzZz. I know its not April 1st, but there's no rule that says you can't crack some ribs on blogsville.

Yes ,I have been away from blogsville for a while and I have really missed my e-friends. Lately, I have  been involved in one thing or the other and it just seems to take away all my time. While I was away, I attended a seminar in which I learnt a personal lesson.

I always like to be the best in all I do . But sometimes this makes me conceited and egoistic ( *smiles*,  I had to borrow some grammar from Lizzie). For a while I used to think that I was smarter than the others . When I get to a new place or join a new group, I like to show smart and knowledgeable I can be. (I actually don't think I am proud or am I? ) . Then,something interesting  happened. At a point, during the seminar,we were to do a presentation .Each individual did their presentation and waited for feedback for their supervisors. As the supervisor went round ,she asked questions and doled out her remarks. When she got to me,I got some criticism regarding my presentation and I felt like fainting. I felt so embarrassed and it was like everyone was making jest of me. Omg! how did I get here ,I was supposed to be smarter than everyone !!..
I was uncomfortable for the rest of the seminar because I felt all eyes were mocking me. I even considered abandoning the rest of the seminar. Thank God! I didn't.

After the seminar , I decided to get help on how to deal with criticism. I had some resource materials from circular and Christian authors.
After using these resources I was diagnosed with following symptoms:

Pride: For me to think I am smarter than everyone shows that I am proud!!! *Covers face*

Unteachable: I was found unteachable because my damaged self-esteem was more important to me than learning.

Unloving: What!! I am the nicest person  on earth. I am unloving because all my attentions were focused on me ,me and the movement of me!

Then I learnt the following antidotes to these symptoms

Accept criticism with grace: Criticism can either be good or bad. Bad ones are directed at destroying you or your self esteem,you should ignore this kind of criticism. The good ones are aimed at making you a better person. When you are criticized ,examine the area if criticism and work on becoming better in that area. This way you will learn more . In my own case, I later worked on my weak link(what I was criticized for the seminar) . Right now! I am a pro in that aspect. winks* ( No bragging)

Appreciate others: While I might be smart,I can't be a powerhouse of knowledge ,somebody knows what I don't know. Appreciating others helps you to see good in  them. This will not only  endear people to you,it will also increases your knowledge as you get to learn from other's perspective . Talking to myself :You this Tosin girl sef! What made you ever think you are smarter than others! With all your supposed smartness you don't know how to use Photoshop *smh*

Show love: Love was an antidote to my self-centeredness.  selfishness is focusing on yourself. Almost all through the seminar, I thought about me. How I should dress fabulously, how to outsmart and outshine others. Oh my! God is so good or else he would have been tired of my antics.
I forgot  about showing love and caring for others ,which is supposed to be an attribute of a Christian. A simple heartfelt hello or asking about the welfare of others could go a long way. In a seminar, where we had quite a number of people ,everyone is conscious of themselves. If I had been so friendly with people and dedicated to making them feel at ease, it will have been worth more than a million bucks.

As I look back to the seminar, I wish I had done a lot of things in a better way. I had some very good parts,infact my attitude changed towards the end of the seminar.
But like I explained earlier , I made some mistakes. I am glad I made those mistakes,because I got to learn from them.
Isn't that what life is about ?learning everyday.

So folks, invite me to a seminar and I won't ruin it.lolzzz
I do hope this post was a great comeback! *winks*
