It feels like its been years since I posted, even though it’s not been that long😂. (Well, it’s been quite a while since I last posted though)
I don’t know what happened to me from the last time I posted untill now, I just haven’t been in the mood to write about anything.
I have noticed this behavior in myself when it comes to applications I download; be it games or novel or movie apps. I download them and the first few days or even a week highest I would be soo engrossed in the said app.
I would be on it 24/7 and then the next thing I know, out of the blue I woukd just loose interest in it or I would just not have the ginger or motivation to use the app again for a long while and then like clockwork I would get the interest again( I don’t know if I am the only one this happens to though)
Sooo, usually travelling to the village this festive period tends to serve as a means of curbing expenses for me, I say this because for most people travelling, either to the village or anywhere at all they tend to spend money going out and having fun with friends.
In my case though, I don’t actually have friends from lagos where I stay that are from the same village as me soo I actually don’t go out whenever we travel which also leads to me not spending money at all 😝🤭
My family and relatives I get to see mainly during this period are the older ones, so I’m not the one they are hanging out with either.
The only thing I can say I use money for in the village is to look for movies to buy so I can watch with the dvd at home to keep myself busy when every other person leaves the house( when there’s light though, when there isn’t I just use my phone instead 😉)
This Christmas though we didn’t travel ( well I guess you can say no one wanted too as nothing special happens in the village anymore).
I am starting to think it may not have been the best idea though because with me being in Lagos for this holiday period, the temptation to go out and hang with my friends or just treat myself to a good time is quite strong 🤦🏽♀️.
Just this Christmas day alone, I went to watch “everybody loves Jenifa” at the cinema. Now, don’t get me wrong, it was definitely worth it ( I mean the movie was sooo interesting and funny 🤭), when I think of how much I spent on ticket and popcorn with drink though 🥲😥

The only means or option I’m seeing as to not spending soo much this period is by going to work, I say this because even at work I don’t even have to think about spending on food as we are fed at the hotel 😇.
In such a situpr scenario where my friends invite me for a get together or hang out, I can always use work as my excuse to skip out on the expenses that would trail that outing.
Lets just call it me avoiding “stories that touch”
Hopefully this time I will be able to keep my energy and interest to write on here for a long while before the energy leaves me again and hopefully I can get a remedy to that behavior
Till next time folks(hopefully soon 🤗) 🥂
