Diary Game 25th November 2024

in STEEM FOR BETTERLIFE6 months ago (edited)

Hello everyone and welcome back to my post. Today I'm going to be walking you through how my day went. Let's move together.

I woke up by some minutes past 8am this morning, said my prayers and then came online to get some work done. This involved messaging some people, keeping tabs on others via the projects we had at hand. Once I was done, I took a bath and started getting ready for an event I was to attend today. The event was scheduled to start by 10am so I didn't want to be late. I had dressed up and was ready to step out of the house when I decided to recheck the date of the event only to find out it would be starting tomorrow being 26th and not today. Though I was relieved that I hadn't found out much later at the event venue after spending money on transport, I was a bit sad as I had cleared out my day for it.
Anyways, since it was already some minutes past 10am I was hungry and my gas had finished. This meant I would eat out until I refilled my gas and so the search for food began.

There's this woman 4 streets down who makes and sells rice with good ofe akwu stew, i decided to go eat at her shop, but alas she wasn't there today. This infuriated me so much as it seems to be a habit of some food vendors. The day you want to eat from them, boom, they don't open shop.
Another reason I was so vexed was because the sun was scorching. It's harmattan season here and the sun is out with so much heat.

Looking for where to get food under the hot scorching sun.

Since we didn't see the rice vendor, we made a quick decision to go eat some Amala at a restaurant nearby.
At the Amala joint, the cooks were ready for business evident by the big pots they placed out. I ordered my amala plus gbegiri, ewedu and ponmo. One thing I love about this food joint is their ponmo. They have the softest ponmo I have ever eaten. This is a big plus for me as I don't like to eat hard meat.

Anyways my food came and I started to eat, but not without first taking a picture for you all to see.

The pots set out for business/ my plate of food

I took my time eating as I paid for the food which cost about 3.5 steem and I wasn't about to let any of that money go to waste. Once done, I paid and went in search of a particular fruit called beetroots. This fruit is reddish in colour and is known to be a natural source of blood but to my disappointment, the man selling it wasn't out yet.

On my way home, I witnessed a very funny scene playing out. 3 young men wearing very dirty and tattered clothes were displaying on the street. At first we thought they were agbero (street)boys so no one paid any attention to them, but they kept displaying and making noise.
.

  • What were these tattered looking young men doing??

This was the question on everyone's lips. Alas, they were creating some video contents. I couldn't make sense of the acts they were displaying but it got some people laughing. But what made me pay attention was when one of the boys entered a wheelbarrow and the other stood at the middle of the road to video him almost causing a jeep to hit him. The jeep owner was so furious at them and came down from his vehicle and accosted them as you can see in the picture below.

It was after people placated the jeep owner telling him they were creating videos that he finally left them and drove away in anger. You can see the guy videoing the content running after the jeep in a comical way. Naughty boys really as this act made the onlookers start laughing again.

I had watched enough and was already sweating heavily by this time due to the sun and severe heat.
Once I got to my house, I rested a while and then helped my sister loosen her braids. She had complained for a few days how she didn't like the braids anymore. What she had in mind wasn't what the hair stylist made for her and she wanted it gone. We sat for 2 hours while I loosed the braids and we discussed topics ranging from marriage to career to family, to relationships etc. we covered the whole board😂😂.
By this time she was already sleepy as she doesn't like sitting at one place for long. Thankfully I had loosed all the braids. She cleaned up the mess and went to sleep😂. My friend called and we spent some time talking and gisting more on the phone.

By this time it was some minutes past 5pm and my tummy was already agitating. It was hungry. I tried holding the hunger for a few more hours but finally gave up by 6pm when I went in search of dinner.

I found dinner in the form of jellof rice, boiled beans and plantains. All is well that ends well.
