What do I have for you today? Seriously weak on bed and couldn't stand up. Two days ago, my hostel mates forced me to squat 30 times following the song in the MP. I wanted to prove to them that it wasn't hard to do since I used to exercise before I left it because I couldn't keep up with it. I did it thirty times and they clapped for me. Yesterday, I was feeling pain on my thighs and didn't remember it was the exercise I did. Someone had to remind me of it which I confirmed it was the reason for the pain. I couldn't move my legs but still tried to.
This morning, I was still in bed at 8:45am as the thighs weakened me. I checked my phone after a while and it was 9:35am and I haven't prepared my article for today. I should have posted at 7am but right now, I just need to come up with something from my head. It would surely be a rant of my day. Perhaps for the remaining days in this year, it would be ranting especially my trip to my hometown, my family gathering, gifts and so on.
Guess what? There are gifts waiting for my Dad, Siblings and the family from I and my sisters but will be revealed to you when they have received it. Perhaps I would also get the best Christmas gift from my sister. My mind is telling me that. My younger sister called few minutes ago asking when I would be coming home but I like making my things as a surprise same with her too.
Surprise is something unexpected. Do you know it's good to surprise someone especially when you have a clue of what they'd like but there are surprises that you make that you will also be surprised at the outcome?.
I watched a movie titled "A Naija Christmas" recommended to me by Olasquare. The guy wanted to surprise his girlfriend by proposing to her in public. It was a live thing which was ongoing on Instagram. The lady was surprised and turned the proposal down, disgracing the guy in front of everyone and the world because it became a trending one on Instagram. Can you see the turned down proposal became a surprise to the one who initiated it at first?.
Though I love surprise trip but it's most times dangerous and risky especially when you didn't inform anyone of your coming. Something might happen on the way and who do you call when you are struggling for your life? This is why someone in your family should know of your whereabouts anytime. This is what I do in this kind of thing, I only tell my siblings I would be travelling home and it becomes a thing between us.
Another thing about surprising someone is they won't know you are coming so as to prepare something delicious for you. This happened to I and my elder sister when I went to visit her in Lagos. We planned visiting our maternal grandma without telling her. We wanted to surprise her and we also want to taste her fried stew. We were both craving for Ijebu Rice and Fried Stew and we didn't tell her we were coming so as to get the preparation done on time.
We got there on a Sunday and as we wanted, they were surprised but we couldn't eat the food we craved for. They said the shops didn't open and we ought to have told them so they can get it ready before then. We were really hurt but we knew it was our fault. That was how we missed the meal 😔
Surprise may be good but there are some times it doesn't work like that. How do you feel when a lady turned you down in public just like the guy in the movie? This is why I don't support public proposal because you might be rejected at that spot making you feel disgraced and embarrassed. You don't know what is going on in the lady's mind perhaps not ready for marriage but you brought the question "will you marry me?" 🙈 And she said "No". Whose fault then?
So, I told my sister to be careful with surprises and should let few people know of her trip which I will also do the same. In conclusion, my trip would be a surprise one making my siblings aware of it and that is it.
Do you also like surprises?
Thanks for reading
@JonicaBradley I appreciate the sponsorship renewal. God bless you ma
If a lady should reject a guys public proposal it would really break the guy heart and he will be depressed. I think she should served him breakfast in private.
