Zara Gretti the angel Superstar

2014-03-30T02:56:00.001-07:00

We were together yesterday,
rubbing minds,
cracking jokes,
sharing words of different kinds.
we were so engrossed in enthusiasm,
completely consumed by his lovely dreams,
For in a flash of a light,
He was struggling for his life,
He lost the fight, kicked the bucket, after the fright.
Soon after, it was what a loss!
Didn't you see her yesterday?
hale and hearty,
no sign of being unhealthy,
always close, never far-away,
until she embraced the last second,
hugged death, simply wholeheartedly.
Moments later,
people begin to shiver,
quiver, and couldn't decipher?
as they shed treacherous tears,
let out their agonies,
embossed by their worst fears.
soon after, it was what a loss!
isn't Death enough a reminder?
As she sweeps the old,
don't the young shares the cold?
isn't Death enough a huge Fear,
as she splits awesome lovers,
don't fearsome foes catches the fever?
who knows?
I might be next,
It could be you,
perhaps,now or later,
Don't you really feel bothered?
Ever seen a strong man trembling?
crying and crumbling?
calling for help,
gasping for breath,
yet, couldn't be saved by his might?
ever seen the terror of an emperor,
sweating profusely,
drilling, drooling and screaming,
helpless at his time of dying?
ever thought about your moment too?
Many had given-up the fight,
beside, none have ever won it,
many had given-up the ghost,
beside, all will eventually taste it.
What have Ye put forward,
dear beloved brother?
how do you look onward,
dear beloved sister?
what if you die today?
Where would you be straight-away?
Al-Maut!
coming for me,
heading to you...
wouldn't you rather get prepared?
before they scream;
Oh what a loss!
From Allaah we come,
to Him, our return.
Allaahul Musta'aan.
Adieu my friend Zara Joseph

My Relationship Rules

2013-02-20T15:30:00.001-08:00

My relationship rules 1. Just because you like someone doesn't always mean they will like you in return 2. What you see isn't always what you get 3. The law of "give and It shall be given to you" doesn't always apply 4. Good or bad sex is just a thing of the mind 5. Absence most times doesn't make the heart grow fonder 6. Bad things sometimes happen to good people 7. The patient dog might just die of hunger 8. Change is the only constant thing in life 9. Relationship is not a business venture 10. Not everyone is cut out for marriage 11. You don't have to like football just because your bf loves football. 12. The only time your bf would stay & watch Desperate Housewives with you, is when he's wooing you. 13. Being pregnant for your bf don't mean your married to him automatically. 14. Don't compromise ab initio what you wouldn't continue in the relationship. 15. Look into the mirror, that's the only person your happiness depends on. 16. When you love, do so with your heart and head. 17. Ladies, not every man understands your 'hard to get' game. You just might lose a good guy. 18. Ladies, its a cold world, most guys wants just your body, NOT ALL GUYS. Differentiate. 19. Guys, some ladies love for different reasons, NOT JUST YOUR MONEY. Be witty. 20. Be truthful and diplomatic always. 21. In our modern world, FWB is prominent. Define your relationship & don't assume a title for it. 22. Ladies, change your tactics. Not all men think with their 'little heads'. 23. The stomach isn't always the way to a man's heart. Kindness, care & sometimes intelligence does the trick. 24. Guys, why keep a lady when you know you ain't gonna man her eventually. 25. A sensible guy knows the woman's worth & if she's right for him ab initio and vice versa. 26. You color block with skinny jeans like a little kid, yet you expect to attract a boss lady. 27. Flashing your tittties can attract some guys. But, I'm not sure how long it'd keep one. If the sex goes sour, well, we know the rest. 28. Avoid the love-triangle. It brings hurt more often than not. Hard as it seems, let go.

10 Characteristics Which You Show To Your Wife

2013-02-20T09:37:00.000-08:00

Imam Ahmed ibn Hanbal’s (Founder of the Hanbali School of Islamic jurisprudence, may Allah have mercy on him) advice to his son on his wedding day: “Dear son, you will not attain good fortune in your home except by 10 characteristics which you show to your wife, so remember them and be enthusiastic in acting upon them. As for the first two; Women like attention and they like to be told clearly that they are loved. So don’t be stingy in expressing your love for your wife. If you become limited in expressing your love, you will create a barrier of harshness between you and her, and there will be a decrease in affection. 3. Ladies hate a strict, overcautious man, yet they seek to use the soft vulnerable one. So use each quality appropriately. This will be more appealing for love and it will bring you peace of mind. 4. Ladies like from their husbands what their husbands like from them, i.e. kind words, good looks, clean clothes and a pleasant odour. Therefore, always remain in that state. 5. Indeed, the house is under the sovereignty of the woman. While she remains therein, she feels that she is sitting upon her throne, and that she is the chief of the house. Stay clear of destroying this kingdom of hers and do not ever attempt to dethrone her, otherwise you will be trying to snatch her sovereignty. A king gets most angry at he who tries to strip him of his authority, even if he portrays to show something else. 6. A woman wants to love her husband, but at the same time she does not want to lose her family. So do not put yourself and her family in the same scale, because then her choice will be down to either you or her family. And even if she does choose you over her family, she will remain in anxiety, which will then turn into hatred towards you in your daily life. 7. Surely woman has been created from a curved rib, and this is the secret of her beauty, and the secret of the attraction towards her. And this is no defect in her, because ‘the eyebrows look beautiful due to them being curved’. So if she errs, do not rebuke her in a manner in which there is no gentleness, attempting to straighten her; otherwise you will simply break her and her breaking, is her divorce. At the same time do not let her off upon that mistake, otherwise her crookedness will increase and she will become arrogant with her ego. Thereafter, she will never soften for you and she won’t listen to you, so stay in between the two. 8. It is in the women’s nature to be ungrateful towards their husbands and to deny favours. If you were to be nice to her for her whole life but you grieved her once, she will say, “I have never seen any good from you”. So don’t let this attitude of her make you dislike her or to run away from her. If you dislike this feature of hers, you will be pleased with some other good habits within her, so create a balance. 9. Surely there are times when a woman goes through some conditions of bodily weakness and fatigue of the mind. Such that Allah has relieved her of some of her compulsory worships during that period; Allah has totally pardoned her from praying, and has postponed the days of fasting for her within this break to a later date until she regains her health and becomes normal in her temperament once more. Thus, during these days, treat her in a godly manner. Just as Allah has relieved her of the duties, you should also lessen your demands and instructions from her during those days. 10. Last but not least, know that a woman is like a captive with you. Therefore, have mercy upon her.”

TIPS FOR HAVING A HAPPY FAMILY

2012-06-09T16:58:00.004-07:00

I stumbled upon this piece and I decided to share. Please read, it is important for every one who hopes to have a family someday or have got a family already; For the man; 1. You must provide for your wife. Don't allow your wife to provide for you. 2. Marriage is for two advanced forgivers. Don't allow grudges to build up, they create walls. 3. Prevent evil from happening to your wife. Prevent people from taking your wife for a ride. 4. Permit your wife to shine. Give her some place and space. Make her feel important. 5. When last did you open the door for your wife? It is not about culture, it is about honour. 6. Be kind to your wife. Grow as a man. Provide for her. You can not react to every thing as a man. 7. Your greatest thing as a man is in your home. 8. Don't starve your wife of sex. And for the Woman: 1. Don't marry a man because of what he drives but what drives him. 2. Seduce your husband. Don't always allow your husband to ask for sex. As a woman your under wear should match. 3. You must be a different woman to your husband every time. Be creative. Don't be predictable. Give him what he wants. 4. Everyone woman has an influence. If you lose influence over your husband you have lost womanhood. 5. You must learn to synchronise with your husband. Be part of his plans. 6. Don't have too many children. Sex is not all about making children. Dress to please your husband. 7. Don't fix time to have sex with your husband. When a man is sexually satisfied he is emotionally stable. 8. As a woman you should invest in yourself so you can adequately support him. Build your self as a woman.

Brain Exercise

2012-06-09T16:38:00.000-07:00

I'm sure you must have seen or read this somewhere. I just felt you ought to see it, that's if, you've not already. Enjoy it. Exercise of the brain is as important as exercise of the muscles. As we grow older, it's important that we keep mentally alert. The saying: "If you don't use it, you will lose it" also applies to the brain. Below is a very private way to gauge your loss or non-loss of intelligence. So take the following test presented here and determine if you are losing it or are still a MENSA candidate. OK, relax, clear your mind and . . . begin. 1. What do you put in a toaster? The answer is bread. If you said "toast", then give up now and go do something else. Try not to hurt yourself. If you said, "bread", go to question 2. 2. Say "silk" five times. Now spell "silk". What do cows drink? Answer: Cows drink water. If you said "milk", please donot attempt the next question. Your brain is obviously over-stressed and may even overheat. It may be that you need to content yourself with reading something more appropriate such as "Children's World". If you said, "water" then proceed to question three. 3. If a red house is made from red bricks and a blue house is made from blue bricks and a pink house is made from pink bricks and a black house is made from black bricks, what is a greenhouse made from? Answer: Greenhouses are made from glass. If you said"green bricks", what the heck are you still doing here reading these questions? If you said "glass", then go on to question four. 4. Twenty years ago, a plane is flying at 20,000 feet over Germany. If you will recall, Germany at the time was politically divided into West Germany and East Germany. Anyway, during the flight, TWO of the engines failed. The pilot, realizing that the last remaining engine is also failing, decides on a crash landing procedure. Unfortunately the engine fails before he has time and the plane crashes smack in the middle of "no man's land" between East Germany and West Germany. Where would you bury the survivors - East Germany or West Germany or in"no man's land"? Answer: You don't, of course, bury survivors. If you said ANYTHING else, you are a real dunce and you must NEVER try to rescue anyone from a plane crash. Your efforts would not be appreciated. If you said, "Don't bury the survivors" then proceed to the next question. 5. If the hour hand on a clock moves 1/60th of a degree every minute then how many degrees will the hour hand move in one hour? Answer: One degree. If you said "360 degrees" or anything other than "one degree", you are to be congratulated on getting this far, but you are obviously out of your league. Turn your pencil in and exit the room. Everyone else proceed to the final question. 6. Without using a calculator - You are driving a bus from London to Milford Haven in Wales. In London, 17 people get on the bus. In Reading, six people get off the bus and nine people get on. In Swindon, two people get off and four get on. In Cardiff, 11 people get off and 16 people get on. In Swansea, three people get off and five people get on. In Carmathen, six people get off and three get on. You then arrive at Milford Haven. What was the name of the bus driver? Answer: Oh, for goodness sake! It was YOU, Read the first line!!!

How to Date by Zodiacs

2012-05-10T12:19:00.000-07:00

I grew up reading about the horoscopes in the national dailies as a young boy. I use to believe in the forecast written. I read wide even more while growing. I learned I'd actually make good use of the zodiacs without believing in the forecast.

Hence, I decided to write this piece. Bet you didn't know I'd be a love-doctor :D. Enjoy and do kindly drop your comment(s). Thanks.

Aries are the bubbly, happy-go-lucky type. They're the life of the party! How do you get your Aries interested in you? They're like puppies. They get bored fast so make sure you give them a lot of attention! Give them a back rub, send a text, get creative! Don't get too needy tho, they will get tired of it!

#Aries Key Characteristics: Outgoing, active, pioneering, aggressive, self-centered, headstrong, impulsive, independent, and enthusiastic.

Taurus's like to be in control, they like to have the last word. How do you get a Taurus interested in you? Although they feel comfortable when they're in full control, gently nudge them out of their comfort zone. Let them be feisty at first but be careful. If you push too far, this could backfire, but if you do it just right, you're good!

#Taurus Key Characteristics: Stable, practical, sensuous, persistent, stubborn, thorough, wealthy, nature-loving, and reliable.

There are 2 sides to a gemini: playful and serious. Take advantage of their playfulness and get them interested in you with some playful flirting! If they're serious, make them feel important. Offer them in on one of your secrets! Game plan: flirt and flatter!

#Gemini Key Characteristics: Quick-witted, inquisitive, flexible, talkative, many-sided, variety-seeking, superficial, and nervous.

Cancers are shy and need some comfort in trust. How do you crack their shell? Take the lead and plan something. Maybe a dinner, a movie, or a day in the park?

#Cancer Key Characteristics: Nurturing, intuitive, comfort-loving, tenacious, irrational, living in the past, acquisitive, and clinging.

Leos do not like to feel like they are a lion trapped in a cage! Keep this in mind when you're trying to get close to one. Gently get to know them and stay away from getting your head bitten off! Once you've gotten through their layer, they will be hooked!

#Leo Key Characteristics: Dramatic, generous, honorable, fun-loving, attention-seeking, dominant, self-glorifying, and warm.

Virgos are dreamers and they want their dreams to be a reality. How do you work with this? Try discovering everything there is to know about them early: the good and the bad. This way, when they discover your flaws, they may realize that neither of you are perfect!

#Virgo Key Characteristics Detail-oriented, helpful, unassuming, accurate, orderly, sensible, duty-bound, shy, and criticizing.

A Sagittarius loves a life full of variety! How do you win the heart of a Sagittarius? Don't do the same date twice. What worked the first time, won't necessarily work the second time. Spice it up, get creative! Keep them guessing what you will come up with next and they will be hooked!

#Sagittarius Key Characteristics: Enthusiastic, optimistic, ethical, travel-loving, straightforward, eager, risk-taking, and restless.

Capricorns set goals and achieve them. They take everything serious, even dating. How do you work with this? Your first impression is all that matters so do your homework and prepare! If you want to impress them, you've really got to impress them! Plan everything to a tee and you will be fine!

#Capricorn Key Characteristics: Serious,hard-working, realistic, authoritative, trustworthy, down-to-Earth, rigid, conservative, and disciplined.

A Pisces is comparable to a 4-year-old who keeps asking 'why?' How do you get a Pisces interested in you? Don't feel obligated to always give a right answer, but make sure you keep the conversation going! Make them feel comfortable and go with the flow and they will love your company!

#Pisces Key Characteristics: Imaginative,sympathetic, artistic,inspired, sentimental, self-sacrificing, dreamy, self-deceiving.

WORDS FROM COLIN POWELL

2012-04-20T00:31:00.000-07:00

The less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve. Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity. An important attribute in successful people is their impatience with negative thinking and negative acting people. As you grow, your associates will change. Some of your friends will not want you to go on. They will want you to stay where they are. Friends that don't help you climb will want you to crawl. Your friends will stretch your vision or choke your dream. Those that don't increase you will eventually decrease you.

Consider this: Never receive counsel from unproductive people. Never discuss your problems with someone incapable of contributing to the solution, because those who never succeed themselves are always first to tell you how. Not everyone has a right to speak into your life. You are certain to get the worst of the bargain when you exchange ideas with the wrong person. Don't follow anyone who's not going anywhere.

With some people you spend an evening: with others you invest it. Be careful where you stop to inquire for directions along the road of life. Wise is the person who fortifies his life with the right friendships. If you run with wolves, you will learn how to howl. But, if you associate with eagles, you will learn how to soar to great heights. "A mirror reflects a man's face, but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses.

"The simple but true fact of life is that you become like those with whom you closely associate - for the good and the bad.  "In Prosperity Our Friends Know Us. In Adversity We Know Our Friends."

RE-UNION PARTY

2012-02-18T02:05:00.000-08:00

I geared up just like every other ex-student of the two great colleges. It was time for the St. Gregory's College & Holy Child College Reunion Party. Venue was King's Plaza, 80 Adeniran Ogunsanya street, Surulere Lagos. Date was 26th of Dec., a Boxing Day to reunite with old friends or foes as the case may be.

The colorful event kicked-off with the green carpet. Photographs and interviews were done on some notable personalities from both schools.

Now, let's fast-forward to the main 'thing', the 'pakurumo' aspect. Lots of booze and chops were available for those that fancy getting tipsy. Ladies and gents really digging it big.

Vector tha Viper showed up being an ex-Gregorian. As expected guys and ladies crowded the simple looking rapper.

The MC pleaded for space to allow the rapper drop some lines. But, the love was just overwhelming.

The DJ had to drop one of the hit singles Vector did with 9ice-Angeli and the mood was instantly changed to dancing mood.

Vector decided to hook up with his old buddy from childhood. Both of them didn't even enjoy much talk before they were mobbed. Some wanting autographs while others just wanted to take shots with the rapper. The love was just amazing.

Vector was just calm and even wanted to pose for some shots with the fans. Some were lucky, others weren't lucky enough.

Then arguments started between a drunk guy and another guy. Bottles were smashed and the rapper was quickly protected as he took his leave.

Ladies and gents, please pay attention to your alcohol limit.

PLANS

2012-02-18T01:27:00.002-08:00

Some things are beyond planning.
And life doesn’t always turn out as planned.
You don’t plan for a broken heart.
You don’t plan for an autistic child.
You don’t plan for spinsterhood.
You don’t plan for a lump in your breast.

You plan to be young forever.
You plan to climb the corporate ladder.
You plan to be rich and powerful.
You plan to be acclaimed and successful.
You plan to conquer the universe.
You plan to fall in love - and be loved forever.

You don’t plan to be sad.
You don’t plan to be hurt.
You don’t plan to be broke.
You don’t plan to be betrayed.
You don’t plan to be alone in this world.
You plan to be happy.
You don’t plan to be shattered .

Sometimes if you work hard enough, you can get what you want. But MOST times, what you want and what you get are two different things.

We, mortals, plan. But so does Allah (subhan wa ta'aala) in the heavens. Sometimes, it is difficult to understand Allah’s plans especially when His plans are not in consonance with ours .

Often, when He sends us crisis, we turn to Him in anger. True, we cannot choose what Allah wishes us to carry, but we can carry it with courage knowing that He will never abandon us nor send something we cannot cope with .

Sometimes, Allah breaks our spirit to save our soul.
Sometimes, He breaks our heart to make us whole.
Sometimes, He allows pain so we can be stronger.
Sometimes, Allah sends us failure so we can be humble.
Sometimes, He allows illness so we can take better care of ourselves.
And sometimes, Allah takes everything away from us so we can learn the value of everything He gave us

Make plans, but understand that we live by Allah’s grace.

Although they plan, Allah also plans. And Allah is the Best of Planners.
[Holy Qur'an 8:30]

COINCIDENCE???

WHEN ARON RAMSEY OF ARSENAL SCORE SOMEONE DIES!!
He scored on May 1st, 2011 & Bin Laden was felled by d American bullet ! He scored on Oct 19 2011 & Muhmmar Gaddafi of Libya was killed by his own people. He scored yesterday in a 2 1 away win over Sunderland & WHITNEY HOUSTON dies.
Nigerian politicians are swiftly sending huge amounts of money to defenders of English Premiership League(EPL) to stop Ramsey from scoring more goals. Nobody wants to die. RIP Ms. Whitney Houston. Your great voice would be missed.
