Laid bare.. @omokheniethomas - Tumblr Blog

My name is Omokehinde Thomas and I drink from the fountain of youth frequently...

I bask in its glory and every inch of my being projects it's generosity.

Discovered my snapchatttttttt!!!!! Love my contact lenses? Yep! Twin bought it for me!!! Yes!!! I am a Nokia Lover

I resume back to work today after three weeks of " leave" Yeah.. I was home for three weeks. First two weeks on annual leave and the last week on Sick leave. I had Typhoid, Malaria and stomach infection which I brought upon myself. Let me jist you So I decided to make ogbono soup as it came highly recommended by my colleague,Yommi.i went to the market bought Ugu and other stuff and prepared it. It came out exceptionally well considering it was my first time making it. 😁😁😁 But that's not why I had a stomach infection. The reason I had it was because I put the ugu in the fridge and four days later I decided to use all the left overs I had to make "village rice". Didn't rinse the Ugu before putting it in my meal and wala! Stomach protested. Guys, I purged for 4 days!! I wanted to die!! Thing is, I never purge. Stomach ache,yes but Purge? No. So immediately I visited the toilet 3 times in space of 10minutes I knew I was in big trouble. I think it also triggered my malaria. I must mention to you that this was the third time I was treating Malaria in 4 weeks. Sigh Oh well, I'm much better now. I've lost weight though. People kept saying it today " oh Kenny you've lost weight" of course I would loose weight goddammit! I purged for days!!!!! Anyway. I'm much better now and It's good to be back at work.I went for a pitch this morning and it looks good. In the next few days, I need to jump on some deliverables and reconcile our Billings in preparation for Mid year review. I'm praying that the next leave I go for would be outside the country. I didn't have money to travel this time. I will next year definitely. :)

IS YOUR FRIEND GAY?

I was scrolling through my Twitter page when my friend mobee DM'ed me "is your friend gay?" I didn't think my response through. I replied "I don't know and I don't care"

Only after I hit the send button did I stop to think Is my "friend" gay?

I went to his timeline. checked. Saw the Rainbow sign. then took the time to read his bio and then studied his latest picture?

He could be gay. That was my conclusion

Do I have a problem with it? nope. In fact, I got curious. I wanted to know, I wanted to ask. Then the question popped up

"what if he is not gay?

Yeah! What if? I might just ruin a budding friendship by embarrassing him with the question. I groaned and dropped my phone

Do I really want to know? *shrugs* Does it change anything? Nope Do u have anything against homosexuality? I replied to myself with a question- Do I have anything against fornication? My answer was no.

We are both sinners, we just sin differently tbh.

Sigh What if my "friend" is gay?

He is a human first. Flawed not perfect. entitled to his belief and preferences

I have dedicated my life to knowing three things... 1.I MUST KNOW MYSELF... IT IS DANGEROUS TO ALLOW OTHERS KNOW ME BETTER THAN I KNOW MY SELF 2.I MUST KNOW MY SOURCE, MY CREATOR...WHAT DOES IT PROFIT TO KNOW THE PRODUCT IF U HAV NO RELATIONSHIP WITH THE MANUFACTURER 3.I MUST KNOW MY NEIGHBOUR..I MUST KNOW THOSE WHO SUROUND ME..FOR EVEN THOUGH WE ARE BORN ALONE AND DIE ALONE WE ARE NOT MEANT TO LIVE ALONE

I'm sick Again... and Again.

Splitting headache Temperature burning

I went back to the hospital I met the doctor that treated me the last time.

" we have to run more tests for you"

And so I ran more tests. HPV, hepatitis, everything you can imagine.

Results came in. Malaria and Typhoid. I must mention this is the third time I am treating malaria. Same Headache.

I took my pills, drove myself home and prayed my twin would come home early.

As I laid down, I felt like I was reducing in size. Yes, I had fallen ill twice in three weeks but I knew this was going to be different. This means I need someone around. I wanted to call my mum but I wasn't ready to subject myself to family issues. I just needed someone who would cook for me and not bother me.

My twin arrived and I knew I was in good hands. She quickly made me spicy Indomie with green pepper and spring onions( to help awake my taste buds) then cleaned the house( i had not cleaned for a week) while I laid my heavy head down

This isn't the reason I am writing anyway

A digiclan member then buzzed me and was like "I heard you are ill again" I'm like yeah. After our little talks, he then said " Kenny you really need to take some time off to treat yourself/ I understand the need to be Miss independent"

I stopped him.

lol

I explained to him that I wasn't working hard because I wanted to be independent, I am working hard because I've got people who depend on the stipend I give every month to survive. I can only keep that coming consistently if I give my all at my work.

Anyway, that's not why I am writing

I am writing because today I thought to myself that I have never fallen ill this back to back before. There is definitely a problem. My health has gone downhill since May. I have had to battle one headache or the other. If I'm not battling that, I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. I started thinking to myself I need some time off. I am thinking of a month. no pay. just a month to stay home and just relax.

But then I look at my account and realize I cannot afford that at the moment. Until next year 1. I have some loans I need to offset 2. I'll be moving to a new apartment in October/November 3. I need to change my car papers( may this will wait till next year July) 4. I do not have enough to sustain me while I am out of work (This is totally stupid of me and I'm quite disappointed in myself for this)

This is my boss.

His name is Adepoju Bakare and he is a breath of fresh Air.

He is a fantastic leader, a deep thinking strategist, and an awesome Team player.

His brain works like crazy and sometimes we are like OMGGGGG POJU TI FE KINIYI LOJU SHA( Pj has expanded this thing oooo)

He is kind, generous, funny, analytical, friendly and more

He is someone i will want to work with over and over and over again

So I visited the famous Pancake hub yesterday

I won't be going back

So I and some friends decided to you know, check out this famous place people have been talking about you know..

I was coming from Ogba, another coming from gbagada and another coming from the island.

I first went through 45 minutes of traffic on Ikorodu road. My stomach was banging! my twin had already suggested I eat something before leaving home but I was like no! I'm going to have a full meal.

Got to the venue and was a little confused as there was no sign to show it was the place. Just a large 17(Which is the house number) The house looked abandoned and I was a little skeptical. I called my friend asking if she was there. She came out and then beckoned I park and follow her TO THE BACK! WHAT YOU DOING AT THE BACK???

So I followed and yeah! lo and behold "PANCAKE HUB"

We sat and had to wait for other friends to arrive. Got there like 12;30. People kept arriving and they were being attended to while we just sat there like okayyy. HELLO! WE'VE BEEN HERE FOR A WHILE NOW. Finally, the friend stands up to make an order. We were told no meatballs, no chicken just have the breakfast comp which is Two pancakes, scrambled egg, and two tiny sausages! Did I mention I was hungry?

Meal arrived 20 minutes to 3. You mean this is what I waited close to 2 hours for??? okay. In 3 minutes we are done with the meal and sat waiting for our hot chocolate (THAT WE ORDERED WITH THE MEAL O!) Came after 10 minutes( she served other people who arrived after us)

Then it started raining, the canopy we were sitting under was leaking. There were this white ladies who just came too. Next thing one of the waiters come and move them into a building WHILE WE ARE STILL SITTING UNDER THE LEAKING CANOPY. I'm not mad. Afterall, they are salt and u know, rain must not touch them. we are the ones that rain can beat

Time to pay, the owner comes and starts lamenting "these kids of nowadays on social media sha. The negative reviews I've just been ignoring them, people just say anything they want"

WELL, HELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

If your services were not shitty no one will be talking about it! LIKE ARE U KIDDING ME RIGHT NOW?? YOU TRENDED ON TWITTER, ARE YOU NOT SUPPOSED TO PREDICT THE INFLOW YOU WILL BE GETTING AND MAKE ADEQUATE PREP TO MEET THE DEMANDS? IS THAT NOT WHAT SANE BUSINESS PEOPLE DO? WHY YOU COMPLAINING?? FUCK SAKE YOUR LADY LEFT US HERE FOR 2 HOURS! ANOTHER OF YOUR STAFF JUST MOVED WHITE PEOPLE FROM THE RAIN AND LEFT US SITTING THERE!

PEOPLE DRIVING IN FROM ISLAND, BEAT THE IKORODU TRAFFIC JUST TO COME EXPERIENCE YOUR BRAND AND WHAT THE MEET IS DISAPPOINTING, OF COURSE, THEY WILL COMPLAIN!

Anyway, Me sha o. i no go again.

Maybe when you go, your experience will be better but as for me and my friends? next time we will stay home and make the pancakes ourselves with huge hot dogs and thick milo

I'm not going to say anything about it on social media because of the respect i have for the 4th friend of mine who is a regular there, that's why i am ranting in my blog.

limi!

Sigh I'm not really a fan of going on leave and this is because of the fact that it is the only point that it dawns on me that I am a lonely ass MF (Pardon my language) It's all rosy and all in the first few days and then when it gets to like day 5 it begins to dawn on me... Friends I have are to busy at that point to hang out. I cant really work and Life is just at a slow pace... .. I don't like the slow pace.

Because that's when you find out you have time to play over an over again, situations or moments you wished you could have done better or handled something better...

Sigh

I hate going on leave cos I have nowhere to go or no one to visit.

I don't like have nothing to do because having something to do is what keeps me sane.. and sometimes it hurt that no one understands that that's the only way I stay afloat.

Sigh

I hate going on leave

An idle mind is the devil's workshop

I hate going on leave. I hate having nothing to do.

Yesterday, I walked into the pharmacy to get this. I asked the cashier to please assist with a women's multivitamins that addresses almost everything. He asked for my age and I think his heart skipped a beat lool. Anyway, reason I picked this up is that I've just always felt that women in their 30's. Need to make conscious effort to take care of themselves more. Been wanting to get something but I've never had time( work is crazy) and when I have time, I don't have money. Well, I actually thought it will cost so much but no, this cost 5k5 and I get to pop a pill every day for 3 months. It also takes care of your breast, hair and Skin. A full spectrum of essential vitamins, minerals and antioxidants for every health need: digestive health, immunue defense, heart health,bones and more... I think i made the right choice. Although the pill is big Shawn. But nothing a cold pack of iced tea cannot push down. ( I don't take drugs with water) I also got a blood capsule to go with it. I'm to use both once a day. I will use at night because I just feel drugs work better at night when you are asleep Cheers to healthy living

So I made my first pot of Ogbono soup and it was yummmmmyyyy. I say it was, because I had a taster. (that's why there is Second plate) For the first time I appreciated why people need big kitchens. Like I was doing so many things at the same time and the kitchen kept getting smaller... Not that I don't cook I do but yeeeen I just do once in a while See what leave can cause? I just finished making chicken stew. Tomorrow I'll make egusi and just chill.

Noah’s Ark Communications now has a Digital Agency

REDWOLF

You should be worried..

These guys are not here to play

Makes it a year, this month that I got my car.

I named it Rueben. Rue Rue for short (lool)

Rue has become my very good companion I tell you. Hardly falls seriously ill. Just has flu sometimes but hey, which car doesn't

I get stares anytime I'm riding it. I wonder why though. like I haven't changed it to pepper red and I'm getting all the stares when I do that nko? and change the wheels? you people Gatz die now??!

lool

Anyway, I have learned somethings since I started driving Rueben

1. Lagos drivers are all MAD

2. I love FAST

3. A car is not a car if it doesn't have its AC working.

4. A car is NOT a luxury

I keep learning.

33 and kicking!

I still can't wrap my head around the fact that I am 33 now. I was at the hospital some weeks back and the doctor asked how old I am I said 31 lools. Time flies eh?

This picture was taken on my Birthday, No, It’s not a “lovey-dovey picture” it's just a picture!-_-

I had 6 cakes delivered to me! and i can tell you no one in the agency has beat the record.. NO ONE WILL heheheheh!

It was a great day!

First Post in 2018.

I had totally forgotten about this blog. Who wouldn't? I have been working my ass off!!

A lot of things have happened since I wrote here, I’d try to remember

- I got a promotion

- I got a car

-I mourned

-I battled depression

All in All, i survived!

Truth is I had more down moments than up. I’ll share them soon (Thank God i am on leave now and I have two weeks to myself)

Do you believe in love? If you do, do you believe love never die or do you believe love can be killed completely?

I believe in Love.. that’s why i give it a chance over and over again... Love cannot be killed completely. It can only be suppressed

Babes.. I am sorry I’m so sorry for what I put you through I’m sorry for making you think it was fine to never be enough I’m sorry for making you believe that love had to be painful I’m sorry for the tears I’m sorry for the lonely nights I’m sorry for all the times you couldn’t say no I’m sorry you had to pretend you were fine I’m sorry I made you believe that the only way you could prove your love was to make your life revolve around a person I’m sorry I made you think you needed another to be complete I’m sorry for making you believe it was it I’m sorry for making you feel unappreciated. I’m sorry for the long stares at the wall I’m sorry for the long and restless nights I’m sorry for the doubts I’m sorry for the insecurities I’m sorry for the fake smiles I’m sorry you fell in love I’m sorry for everything… I’m sorry..
