The Service Chronicles 29: Traditional Cooking and Snapchat Filters.

I rose up as Lanky; Jennifer’s boyfriend rang the bell. First of all his real name is Noah, he is called Lanky because of his size and he is the Male Organizing secretary (OS), I am the female OS.  I quickly stood up and looked at my time it was 5:44. I was supposed to have started the fire by five and even be boiling water but no I had overslept. 

 No p. I quickly woke everybody and begged the outgoing OS to help me with ensuring everybody went for Morning devotion. As I got to kitchen Dami; we also call him Gbade and here he is known as Hot stuff was already fetching water. I scrambled to start the fire but the fire was very weak. So I called Nimi the militant to help and then she brought the fire to life. Then we started to cook. I have to say; regardless of the fact that two butties were paired together we still slayed, the food tasted nice, it was dope like I am not tooting my horn, we both slayed on that food and this goes out to all them butty haters; I have been sent to tell you something dope I can’t remember what now but I promise to drop that punch line soon. 

Gbade was very helpful too helpful in fact and I would have to say I was shocked, but that’s what nice about him. He is a really cool person. I couldn’t go to work that day, I was fagged out. I just went inside and crashed I didn’t even have my bath, I ate and crashed woke up three hours later and had my bath. Then I did some writing and proceeded to watch a movie. I couldn’t go for my Monday ritual at the Cinema because of times are very hard and a girl can’t afford that luxury right now.

In general the day was not particularly eventful, stayed home all day and God bless NEPA we had light for most of the day. I am beginning to love Ilorin o.

Oh yeah! I just remembered. I saw one very strange Chinese (okay I am not sure which of the Asain countries) movie with Jennifer, but it was sha very weird. I can’t go into details 

The night was beautiful, they made Gbade pray and he closed to prayer session in Yoruba (dope stuff) I heard the prayers were really deep and I went to bed without much ado.

Tuesday dawned like every other day, nothing spectacular or amazingly surprising. We went to church and Godswill took the message and the naughty boy mentioned the falling off the chair incident.

I fell of a chair during devotion one day and the story still haunts me. (I think I have mentioned it before here).

After devotion I proceeded to clean, it was my turn on the roaster. Let’s just say it was no easy but after it all I conquered.  Before I forget, Uju went back to Port Harcourt yesterday; she was one of the people here that understood me. She understood everybody; she was one of those people. Her brother and I were close, I kinda liked him but it couldn’t have worked out.  It is safe to say that he didn’t like my type.

After cleaning I quickly ate, the food was really nice and it was boys who cooked. Cleaned up and then headed to school.

Nothing was happening there; I sat in my office and just let time fly. As I sat in that chair something that had been bothering me for a while came to mind. There are these new filters on Snap Chat and I have not been able to access them even after all the multiple upgrades. So I went online, ready and determined to know how to get those filters, I refused to believe the problem was with my phone. And so I searched and I found how to get them and for about forty-five minutes I took tons of pictures. I deleted so many.

It was a good laugh. I had so much fun. Then I got bored with them and played games, chatted with Zonal meeting guy and went home.

Before I got home I went to book an appointment with the pharmacist for the radio show. That done I went
home.

Had a bowl of cereal and went to wash a bathroom. That was not easy. Immediately after that I crashed and woke up to see Yemi my lover standing over me. She came to get some things after I escorted her out. I went to buy fish to eat my dinner with. Played a ton of games I had such a good night until…

While performing my OS duties some stupid dumb girl (and yes she really really annoyed me) was acting up. Like there are ways to handle situations like this but her case is just really special, she acts up around me and I would never know why. After managing to soil my mood I went for an executive meeting.  I am even angry at myself for letting someone so inconsequential matter so much that she can spoil my mood.  

The meeting ended with me put on a new committee, somebody cry for me; like I need someone to cry me a river and fountains.  God help me, I have not even had time to be lazy.
