It's New Year's Day 2015

And its a new year. I am sure the previous year treated you fairly to life and its progressions.
This is a fun post if I can call it so to just let you know how I have been rolling throughout the new year's day of 2015.

To begin with, my day began in church. You want to know where I fellowship? Vertical Center Restoration Tabernacle, (Spoken Word) inside Tema community One.. I was at the crossover service.
I later ha my first meal of the new year around 3:48am thereabouts. Well guess what it was....see the photo for yourself.

I then decided to watch movie and the one the won for me to watch was 'We're The Millers'. Loved the comedy bit to the film but trust couldn't see the end of the movie. I slept off along the line. This was around 4:20 am thereabouts also.

Woke up to the terrible harmattan around 9 am and headed straight to the shower to take my bath. Got myself some coffee and tea bread and went on to finish off my movie from where I left off.
I later got a phone call from a close friend whose wife requested I join them for lunch which I gladly accepted. I got there around 15 hours GMT and in a few minutes, food was ready. Folks don't go there. Some wild fufu bi paa....chai....I didn't spare it at all.

To check up on a friend on how the day was going, I found out they had a basketball session at the Lizzy Sports Complex inside east legon. Joined him and the rest of the group around, shared some pleasantries and wished ourselves the best of the year. We knocked of around 6pm. Why? The club I support Tottenham Hotspurs was playing Chelsea. Errm I am sure you knew how the game ended.....wanna still know the scores?...ok it ended 5:3 in favor of Spurs...were you thinking otherwise? Oh you paa!!!

Well more things happened today o, but honestly a few more to go......now stretch and read on. Myself and my other pals continued to Papas Pizza for errm call it refreshment.

Obviously you know what flowed on the table aside, the pizza. In addition, we had long chats, looked back at the year just gone by, cracked up lots of jokes and many more just for the fun bit.of our meeting. This went on for over two and a half hours.

Let's digress a little on this post. It was an incident that happened at the pizza joint. It actually goes to confirm the case of customer service in this country. Still very poor and the earlier service providers back up, the better. We had to wait and I personally had to move around to look for the waiter that served our table to pay her her money after confirming she had forgotten about our table. A few of my pals at a point suggested we leave but others insisted we wait a little and sort it out. In the end, we did the needful by waiting for her to show up and paid her.

A little pissed, among few of my friends, we departed going our various ways. I later boarded a trotro home. Aside all these events happening all day, there were periods of me being on social media reading a whole lot, from scandals, to court issues, sports news and the likes. As usual twitter and Whatsapp were the dominant ones.

Well before I close this post, I hope you have an amazing year of 2015 filled with blessings of all you desire, want and need.

The best of the New Year!!! Afehyia Pa !!!

When your First Yawa Stares You in the Face

I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.

I am sure you will be wondering what will be coming up in this post especially if you have visited my blog on the previous posts, we'll this time might be a little different. In as much as I will always want to chip in some food for thought or motivation here and there, I also have some real life issues that trust me, some of you readers share. Well I don't mind putting mine here so those of you who relate to it can have some laugh if not more of some sort. At least ahiaa is life as we say it Ghana.

It was a fine Friday evening to fast forward it. The early hours of the day went perfect and even had some free banku lunch sponsoring spree from a colleague. I decided not to go out that evening despite the numerous calls from my folks to get out and chill small.

Clouds and Sun

As a social media enthusiast, I participated in a debate online, to be specific a twitter debate, hmm the topic was on sex education and it's implication on society as well as its perception among the various age limits. It was a fruitful one with people sharing various information and sentiments on the subject matter. I really learnt a lot and even had a banter with one of the participant on something that we both didn't agree on. There were a few exchanges on what one thought was the case and others thinking otherwise. All in all it was a good session which ended in some folks with the fastest fingers and connectivity winning some airtime credits.

So I organized my playlist of tunes I will be enjoying at home as I had decided not to step out on that TGIF evening, stepped put to the convenience store nearby to grab some fruit juice to chill out the night all by myself. The fun started for me and I was really getting into the groove to enjoy my alone time at home, and BOOM ( As my personal favorite Piers Morgan of Arsenal) would express anytime his team got a goal in the EPL, the Electricity Company of Ghana did their thing. Dumsor was here in my face, my lights were taken off. The whole neighborhood was shrouded in darkness. To some extent I was so pissed, I made some comments that trust me cant be shared here, if you want to know the few I said, link up with me some where at the corner so I tell you...lol! 

After waiting in the dark room hoping the lights would be brought back, as the minutes ticked, all hope of it been restored proved futile, hence an action for the non-Friday outgoing man stucked at home to take a decision and act on it fast. With less options at my disposal, i concluded in going out then. I then dressed up, took my cards to make some withdrawals when I hit town fully and spotted an ATM. And that was the beginning of more misery for me on that night.

I then stepped out at about 8:30pm, the exact location I had no idea. Jumping into a taxi, I concluded in going to the N'Joy Hotel to trill myself to some cocktail and salad meal as I enjoyed their wifi services to kill the time. They have some good meals there trust me. They are located in Sakumono near the popular Fridays entertainment center and the Sakumono Community Clinic.

Luckily for me, some few steps to the hotel, I spotted my mother bank's ATM. I hurriedly approached it to cash some money.

SkyLine- Accra Ghana

Now the moment of truth beckons. I started the process by keying in my pin and it was verified for me to proceed to the next step. Since I had a fair idea of how much my current balance on the account was, I straight away proceeded to press the Withdrawal button. The machine then asked me to key in the amount I wanted to withdraw. After going through all the 'wahala'(trouble), hoping to see cash come out of the till, BAM.....in my face was the notification on the screen of the ATM, "Sorry your card has Expired, kindly contact any XXX bank branch or the nearest branch available to apply for a new one".

Immediately, my heart stopped beating for a second, disappointment drew all over my face at once. Thereafter I started to ask myself so many questions, like how come I never checked when my card was to expire, but at least the bank should have also sent me a notification about my card's expiration date, so if I had taken a lady out, was that going to be my disgrace and a whole lot more that I will have to pull breaks on.

So with that much disappointment, I gathered myself briefly, then decided to go home like that, luckily I had transportation money that could take me back to my house. After a while I got over it though and now started teasing myself as I walked on the short path to my house that became a very long one all by myself.

Well, it thought me some lessons, that has been recorded in memory because trust me I will not want this to happen a second time. I might not be that second time lucky to even have transportation back home.

This has been my recount of the very Fisrt YAWA of the year 2014 for me. Hope you had fun reading. As always, thanks for stopping by my blog.

YAWA- can be refered to a misfortune....it's a slang used in Ghana.

ATM.....trust me everyone of you reading knows what it is and means.
