What to do in embarrassing moments.

-
  1. Laugh at your foolishness:
I was waiting for my friend in front of the girls hostel. He was infront of the boys hostel. This was a few meters apart. He waved at me, and was blowing kisses. He also formed a heart sign with his fingers. Now I'm confused; I know his girlfriend, and how much he loves her. Is this just play? Or is he actually flirting with me? No no it's just play. He can't be. I reciprocated. I smiled and waved and blew kisses to him too. Except something was weird, he was laughing. What's funny? Only then did it occur to me to look back, lo and behold, his girlfriend was laughing through the window of her room.  He wasn't flirting with me!
Thinking about it now,  I just laugh at how I made a fool of myself. Makes life easier.  

  1. Don't take life too seriously:
People make mistakes everyday. It's normal.  Get up and move on. Find the humour in everything. Life goes on!

  1. Understand people get embarrassed everyday:
You are not the first,  neither will you be the last to get embarrassed. Do you want to keep whining about that?  Move on darling, and smile. You just might get embarrassed tomorrow!

  1. Take your L in peace:
Don't fight it. Enjoy that disgrace, wear it like a crown. I wanted to fight him, he was my friend so it would have been easier to approach him.  I mean, why didn't he just say ‘not you, Yimika’ How hard could that have been? Infact, his girlfriend was my friend too, she was closer to me than him,  why didn't she just tell me something? Anything? They both could have told me but where is the fun in that? So you see, don't get mad when you're embarrassed.  Just laugh it off. Easier said than done I know, but do you want to be a bigger fool than you have been? I guess not.

  1. Respect the most embarrassed person.
Me. 😂 I just didn't think it would sound perfect without the emoji.  Yes, sound, you're reading this in your mind. With intonations too! Anyway, you have to agree I deserve that award, come on!  They laughed at me for months. Other friends got to know about it. You know how nasty my friends can be? No, you have no idea. 😩  So, as long as you have life, you can still have better days. Don't beat yourself up about this. It'll be forgotten soon.

Tell me about your most embarrassing moment. Comment below.  I want to knowww!

Here's how to treat someone who hurt you, the Yimika way 😉

    Walking up to a girl you admire to start a discussion with her only to find out that the only reason she's talking with you is because you're friends with the guy she likes and you don't find out till long after when you notice her making excuses to be with the guy rather than you

WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE MY FAILURE. 1.

"You don't have to be successful to blog,  you can blog about your failures " -Tolu Ogunlesi.  I went to a good secondary school. Thinking about it now,  one of the best in Nigeria.  The environment was beautiful and the staff put their best into everything they did. This is why,  I wonder why I even have to write this blog post.  I was not the bad academically, being very well above average.  But,  I had one problem;  the one that took the devil 7 days and 7 nights to gather its ingredients, 11 to study it's recipe and 29 more to cook it;  Mathematics.  This has to be the worst subject in the whole world.  I don't remember having problems with Maths until I got to  SS1(Year 10) and got an F9 in the first term examination. I was surprised, I knew I did not like the subject but I did not expect to fail so woefully in it.  I just could not comprehend it.  My mother was worried,  she immediately offered...

I'm sorry, Dentist.

I used to have a dental problem back in high school. I went to the dentist, and he gave me a couple of medications and instructed that I use salt and warm water solution to rinse my mouth everyday for a week at least 6 times.   The pain was much and I realized that after using the solution, I felt some relief.  So, I used this solution quite often, perhaps even more than 6 times. The pain reduced till it finally seized on the third day,  so I ignored the doctor's advice of using the solution for a week. The pain returned sometime before my convocation ceremony. Of course, I went to the dentist again.  After medications, he recommended that I use the salt and warm water solution again. In pain, I used it religiously for 3 days,  but on the fourth day, I stopped since I had relief. Before going to bed some days after,  I was brushing my teeth and the Holy Spirit said to me ‘You this girl,  you've stopped using the solution again’. Honestl...

How do I treat someone who hurt me?

It was 6am. Her alarm rang. My eyes opened, though it clearly was shut. She has her own room, why is she here? A quick flashback; oh, her fan spoilt. She can't afford to sleep in that heat,  so, she came to mine. She gets up; I wonder how she could tell I was awake, because  she whispered 'Yimi, I'm going to my room. Come lock the door'. Sleepily, I got up. As she stepped out, I twisted the knob but, on my way back to my bed, I noticed something. There was a mattress on the floor, and instead of my roommate sleeping on her bed, there was another girl. The one who just left got up from the mattress on the floor, but my roommate was still sleeping on the mattress.   Again, another flashback. I remembered I slept with the friend on the bed sleeping on my roommate's bed. The roommate asked me before I travelled into the land of dreams if it was okay to wake her up so she could go to her room. With my roommate on the floor, she sure did not. I assumed the matt...
