WHATSAPP MY STATUSES!!

Follow @Qwophicedi


Technology no doubt has created the avenue for fast dissemination of information whether it being on the positive note or on the negative aspect of anything. In times past, it was always difficult to get information either it being a request, wishes, ones current state of being and many more that you can think of.

WHATSAPP

Mobile telephony over say a few decades has really evolved from what it used to be the fundamental purpose for which it was. Some years back, all what people needed a mobile device like the mobile phone was to make calls basically. It then got some enhancements where you could send messages (sms), then later multimedia messages with some low resolution photos.

I am sure at least if you leave in the now age, you will all be the best ones to tell me how important the mobile phone is to some of you. Well I heard somewhere that there are now mobile phone related ailments, be it addiction to eyesight infections to a whole more that I am sure research will continue to bring to our notice.

Then came the age of mobile applications. These really changed the face of how we used our mobile phones, they were given a new cloth, name changed and referred to as smartphones. With the introduction of the camera, high resolution screens and what have you, this handheld devices, became real companions to people. I wont be surprised if you are reading this post on your mobile handset...lol...I got you right?
Applications(apps) revolutionize the face of it and one of the apps that the whole world over, cant be done with is whatsapp.( Check below to download app on the various mobile platforms you have on). For fast communication purposes, this app is very popular and most used no wonder it was purchased for that hefty amount by another technology giant organization.

I am not here to talk to you about whatsapp. I chose the angle of where one will have to put up status on the already downloaded application. It is obvious and somehow conclusive that those status updates, is either expressing ones current state of being, whether referring to someone, him/herself,wishing someone well, telling someone the piece of mind,congratulating someone on a feat, you just name it.

I one day wasn't feeling too well and decided to relax at home for some rest. Around midday,  I took my phone to check my messages as I hadn't done that all morning following countless prompts. I went through them, responded to the ones that needed to be attended to, smiled at the ones that had funny notes, some had inspirational messages and all.

I later thought why don't I refresh my contacts on the application to see if any of my contacts had joined the bandwagon. That was done and now decided to go through the list, then something struck me. Each and every member on the contact list had one status update or the other associated to the name. It really varied from what lets me call this 'walks of talk'. The messages really trans versed from lets say archaeology to zoology, being it motivation,  birthday wishes, get well messages, expression of affection, celebration of a friend,  lover and so have you. I monitored this for a while and thought why don't I bring to my readers how my Timeline of whatsapp statuses looks like. If you find something similar to yours, don't worry your identity is safe with me.

KING WHATSAPP

Whew!!! I now get to my plot of this post. So I will be sharing the messages I wake up every morning or intermittently as and when I launch unto the application. These are randomly chosen spanning over 4-5 days. I am sure you are aware that the app has its own predefined ones that are on when you sign up unto the the application. I won't dwell on that even though a few use it either for convenience sake or chale they don't know where to click and effect that change.....laughing at this line....please don't kill me......LOL!!

Now lets ride;
Where there is a will, there is a way
Burn those that hurt you with forgiveness....TYLJ
Your eyes on me
If I could have my wish today
Minds are like parachutes, they only function when opened
I pray, you pray, we pray
While I breath, I hope...
Qui sera sera what ever will be will be
When you choose to love someone,you take them as is. Faults and all...Thank you Lord
Joy comes in the morning, I will wake up with mine as well as yours
Learning- Life is nothing without friendship
One Love
I don't do mediocre
Congratulations Roboo!
Got a phone now......whatsapp working Sorry guys
Happy birthday to my son Jason, you brought joy to my life
Yesu Mekra adamfo pa
Lessons well learnt
Um focused
More Vim
I Love you Mama

At one point of going through, I thought I was in a motivational cum inspirational session or therapy if you want call it so, then you get to be hit with some other statuses which will make you realise that yes we are humans and not all fall in the same line.

Check these few out and you will realise it does fall in line with the few I gave earlier.

When your First Yawa Stares You in the Face

Follow @Qwophicedi

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.

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.
