Time-out With Cathy

Hurray!!! It's the last day in the year 2019 and I'm so excited! The year wasn't all rosy as it came with its own thorns but I'm grateful for the wonderful experiences that exceeded the challenges. I'm equally using this opportunity to thank all of my readers. It amazes me that even with my inconsistency, the blog recorded over a thousand clicks with just nine (9) posts !!.🥳🥳🥳 I can boldly say I have a strong support system!. Thank you so much!. The article with the most click was my first documented fiction titled " the transformation to a beast ". This particular write-up was a very quick one and was borne out of anger. I remember going through posts on "instablog" and most of the highlights for a week were posts relating to pedophiles and a lot of sodomy acts with children! It was crazy!. This made me decide to write about it and I wanted to publish it that same day (Lol! I didn't want the anger in me to die down), whic

Hey Kings and Queens! Long time no post, yeah? I know and I sincerely apologize. Please do not take it to heart. I missed doing this. I miss you also. Thank you so much for your love and support thus far (yes, YOU reading this). I appreciate you and do not take you for granted. Xoxo. How have you been since my last post? How much lemon has life thrown at you and how many jar of sweet lemonades have you made from it? indulge me, please darling!. Well, as for me, I have been sailing above the tides and life has been good to me with the opportunities, lessons and privileges it has brought my way. I have also found myself taking deliberate moves and I can only pray it brings forth good fruits. Did you just say an 'Amen' on my behalf?. Thank you so much. My heart is grateful to you for that gesture. You see, couple of times, I have noticed that after conversations with people, especially, if it is a first-time, it usually ends with words like “it was really nice talk

My heart got the weird sensation first It felt divine I knew I always wanted you around Our first meet confirmed it. I mean, I prayed for you And He blessed me with you Then, it happened... We had commitments on different paths We fell apart It was the best for us... I thought  You kept rooting for us But... I had intentionally strayed. I devised a means to forget about you I thought I finally had every bit of you distant from me But... I lied! You never left the special place you had in my heart. You unconsciously had a way to undress my soul And make love to my thoughts. Then life happened... Fate wrapped its hands around us, Made us snuggle up to each other’s embrace. It felt like home... like I never left This certainly was the universe writing a better love story with our names in it. Your gaze plunged my heart You begged that I never give up on us again You wanted me to fall back in love with you; How do I d

                                                             Hello wonderful people! Trust you are doing great but if this didn’t meet you well, that’s okay but would you believe me when I say... there’s definitely light at the end of every tunnel and He who has brought you this far, will never fail in His promise for you. Would you? I sense a YES. Cheer up darling! You are a star... you are meant to shine bright and you will! I love you too. ❤️🤗 I sincerely want to express my profound gratitude for the reviews and comments on my last post . It gladdens my heart that the message was well received and my prayer is that may we and the children within and around us not cross paths with people like Uncle Seun or Damilare (fictional characters in the story). Amen. Thank you all. You have been nothing short of amazing!🥰 This particular post is long overdue, to be honest, even at the point of wanting to write. I truly wanted to write about something else but the lyrics by Sina

Photo   credit :  Google   images My name is Damilare and Uncle Seun turned the beautiful soul in me to a beast... Who will save me now?. He (Uncle Seun) wasn’t exactly my “Uncle”. He was an orphan who Daddy employed to work for the family and I grew to call him “Uncle”. I mean, he thought me all I needed to know as a child from helping with school assignments, football, play station, prepping me for school and the likes. I believe he did that job well. Whatever he did for me and to me was very much commendable. He did it perfectly well. The five-year old me idolized him as my mentor. He was everything to me. Well, my parents were never available. They were all up for travels and business meetings. I remember, I used to miss them initially but as time went by, the love I had for my parents was quickly replaced with the love I found in the comfort and happiness Uncle Seun provides. He was my happy place. My sixth year birthday was coming up soon. Dad and Mum

Hello Kings and Queens!❤️ Considering that I left you in good hands the last time, I believe you are doing great and things are gradually coming to shape. Well, as for me, I have been just fine except for my recent episode with a bike man again. Lol!... definitely, a story for another day. So, those in my close circle know how much of a “Mummy’s Girl” I am. I mean, the unapologetic one. Few, even tend to call me “omo Mummy” and to be honest I don’t even deny it or shrug. I am always like “ Yasss! That’s my name darling! Be happy to loud it!”😀 Apparently, it’s mother’s day today! Little wonder I’ve seen myself vibing to songs solely dedicated to all mothers lately. In that light, I am specially dedicating this post to ALL mothers’ who are giving their best shot daily to keep the family together, wearing their full armour of motherhood without hesitation but with pride and courage, the true heroes of all generation. Truly, not all heroes wear capes. Here is saying a big thank y

Hey beautiful people, trust you are doing well. I am good too. Last week was quite a busy one for me. Was literally up and about. One has to match the dots, you know? Sometime last week in my usual busy schedule, I took a bike from a certain location to the house. Okay, I have a subconscious habit to sometimes engage the driver of any cab I am in with a little conversation. It could be as little as “how has been your day?” “hope work is  going well?” and I find out that often times, they really want to pour out certain issues. I think it somehow eases the day’s tension. I don’t have this  same energy for bike riders * frowns * Yup! I have a bittersweet relationship with bikes. I love bikes and I hate it at the same time. Maybe, that’s why I don’t give that much attention to its riders. It’s more of  “please FOCUS and take me to my destination. I beg!” relationship. I’ve had my own fair share of their mishap and I dread situations that will seem to result to a repeat. Photo:

Hey darlings! I did get your comments on my last post and I must say a big thank you. The comments and reviews were more than enough for me to continue with this. Thank you so much! Trust your day was great.  Mine was alright. Nothing out of the ordinary though. Had to go to work but closed a little bit earlier than usual. Apparently, tomorrow is an Election Day after the abrupt cancellation of the election which was earlier scheduled for last week. The cancellation was a sad experience and clearly showed to the whole world that my country wasn’t ready for the future! 🤦🏽‍♀️ Not sure I am excited about tomorrow’s election. The whole tension is quite overwhelming and my WhatsApp application isn’t helping matters either. It almost feels like I’m in a toxic relationship with it. I mean, how else do I explain leaving my phone for a few minutes and return to over a thousand messages from WhatsApp (mostly from the different chat groups though with discussions centered on politics).

Hey fam! I have been wanting to do this for the longest. But procrastination had the best of me, I must confess. Asides this, the FEAR!!! the commitment! **ppffttt*... not necessarily because I am scared of commitment(s) but I feared that with the loads of "to-dos" I had and have set to achieve, romancing the thought of actually starting a blog instead of scribbling words in my journal may be quite cruel to my priority list. Well, safe to say, I may have overcome that fear after coming to the realization that whether we want it or not, there would always be something to be committed to. I mean, life will always happen!. So, this is my first blog post and am I excited to jump on this train? Yasss! Am I excited to having you read this? A super-duper-dapper-bubbly Yassss!   For those of you who do not know me, the name is Catherine (sometimes known as Cathy). a project administrator in one of the fastest growing architectural companies in Nigeria (you can holla me f
