So, why go with a married man?

Don’t know why am doing this post but i’ve got this question on my mind all morning. I woke up this morning around 5:30 am with loud moaning and groans reverberating in my room, my first gut instinct was to quickly snatch my phone and call the police (but for whia???? Naija police usually arrives in about 24hours after the deed must have done. between, don’t even know if 911 works here). But let me start from where it all started, this wasn’t the first time it was happening. infact, for the past two weeks since my hubby travelled, it has been a ‘day on- day off’ thing. But today’s noise was unbearable
So many things came to my mind, either the guy in the flat above me is a wife beater, or he has a possessed lunatic as a flatmate, or his wife is in labour (but wait, she can’t be in labour for two weeks). What made matters worse was the heavy thumping right above the ceiling, i felt like the lady was being thrown against the wall and corners like a tennis ball, i cringed at the mere thought of that. I quickly shot out of bed and opened my already open windows wider (a habit i’ve formed and enjoyed its privilege over the last two weeks to get some fresh air at night. My husband is an Eskimo, he loves to have the AC on all night while i prefer the former) I really hoped i’ld make out some form of conversation so that i’ld at least know what’s wrong.
Finally my alarm beeped at 5:58am, having lost some valuable sweet morning sleep i said my prayers and made a quick meal (fried yam and leftover fried rice...nice combo). I did get ready for worked earlier than usual so i figured out a few chores wouln’t be bad. I picked the trashed and headed out, just as i got outside the house, i heard the moans again, i looked up towards the flat of the guy that lives above mine, his windows were open and indeed they were coming from there. I didn’t know i wasn’t the only spectator, i looked towards the gate house with fear and my heart thumping and right there were our two gatemen smiling at like i get the drift....whatever!!!!! i still didn’t get it and i walked up to Daniel the goofy one, and the conversation below ensued
Me: Daniel, abeg na who live for that flat upstairs????? (i knew it was one of the guys i had seen driving in at some point, besides, we just moved in March)
Daniel: Na Doctor (the silly smile still plastered to his face)
I just moved on, the conversation wasn’t going anywhere! I had heard that there’s a doctor in one of the flats who loves to carry young girls and whose wife resides overseas. Anyways, i got back to my flat, i called my hubby who reassured me that at least am sane and then got to the bathroom to do my makeup.....that was when i heard the ‘OH BABY!!!! OH HONEY!!!!’ . I then got the gatemen’s drift...i burst into laughter, not because of anything but my great trepidation.
I have been at work all morning but can’t get this incident off my mind. My only concern is for the young lady who in her mind is having a ‘good dose of early morning bedsercise’ with a married man. I don’t want to sound very judgemental but the truth be told.....there is still karma and the good old biblical truth that whatever we sow, we reap. For whatever reasons she chose to be with that man, in my own opinion, it is UNJUSTIFIABLE. I’ve seen lots of babes with men old enough to be their dad, that’s okay..i believe age is nothing but a number. But when you see a ring indicating a marriage commitment or in the lack of it but it is very obvious that he is committed. Why break the vow? Why put asunder? What makes you think he wouldn’t do same to you? Why live your life with a person who has sworn his to another? Why settle for less when you can have more? Why go with a married man? Many questions arise which i cannot answer, but i’ld only say it as the conscience of any reasonable person is......it’s not fair!!. But can’t wait to get back home today, i am activating my spy mode, this is going to be a fun version of my own ‘cheaters’...cos i really want to know what’s with my Doctor neighbour.

Almost a year after!!

yeah...so i went AWOL for almost a year, i jumped into blogging for the first time on July 23, 2010 and today is May 18, 2011 (almost a year after...haha) and am just doing my second post. In life, it's so amazing how we start a thing or project with so much enthusiasm and then let it fizzle out like a firecracker sooooo quick.There are usually major causes...lack of passion and lack of means.In my case, It was both, i was passionately engrossed in other things and in the second case, i got tired of my 18th century laptop, so i got home one day, picked it up and made sure i didn't return home with it.
But..hey, the absolute truth in life is to get back right after a fall, in every area of your life where you are not measuring up to your standards which you've set for youself, put your head up and say 'YES I CAN'...ok, so i know that sounds very cliche :-)but it works like magic. persistence and consistence brings abount success.

So right now, am getting up and blogging again!!!!!! am putting a new enthusiasm and approach to it! between last year and now, a lot of things have changed. Am happily married, no more 'chinchini' corper allowance, i've developed my thoughts and of course i've got a brand new lappy to play with.

i love forward to more posts and sticking to the truth.!!!! later!
