The Diary Game [08/04/2025] My Daily Reflection

Steem greetings from the motherland-Cameroon to @everyone and welcome to my blog as I share my lifestyle content with you all. Guys, I started the day on a good footing with temperatures high and I was ready to face my daily tasks. On a sunny day as such, it was a good moment to go out for some data collection work on a project I'm currently researching with my team.

It is an easter holiday as well for my kids and also the time for me to just close my eyes to all the disorders they caused at home. I had to prepare them breakfast before leaving the house. I fried potato chips with some eggs for their breakfast. This time around, I was running out of time and could not feed them as usual. I pleaded with them to eat while I went out for work.

The sun was extreme for me and I saw myself sweating profusely. Maybe this was because of the malaria drugs I consumed before leaving the house. The data collection process took less than 3 hours because my team had already located the appropriate groups for our focus group discussion.

After the focus group discussions, I took a cab to the bus station to collect the parcel I missed out on during the weekend due to unforeseen circumstances. While at the bus station, they were busy for the morning bus takeoff to other regions of the country like Litoral, centre and South West regions of the country.

I had to present my identification document and the serial number for them to be able to trace my parcel. I was also asked about the content of the parcel and it makes it easier for them to sort out my parcel. I took the parcel and had to take a bike to hand over the bag to my elder sister to send to my parents.

I left my sister's place and went to the market to buy some imported refined cassava. My family loved this meal a lot and it has been a long time since I prepared it at home. I was lucky to get a reasonable quantity as at times, it is scarce to find it in the market. The price was exorbitant but I had no choice as I preferred it to fermented cassava fufu.

I also passed by a jewellery shop to buy earrings for my daughter. She has been complaining about her old earrings needing to be changed.

After buying the required stuff I needed from the market, my sister called me to come to her shop lets discuss some pressing issues. I came there and realised she was not at the shop. Her son was at the shop and I sat there for a while waiting on her.

We had a discussion for about 30 minutes as I was already in a hurry to return back home. I had to prepare my daughter's school items for her coding classes. The teacher contacted me and informed me of the materials needed.

I had one of my favourite snacks, boiled fresh corn. It was sweet and this is the season though not quite cheap. I noticed fresh corn now is almost an all-time something but also expensive as compared to the past.

Then came the golden hour of soccer we had been waiting for. The euphoria of the day could be felt especially as Real Madrid fans were everywhere making noise about how they gonna trash Arsenal. Some of the Gunners fans were optimistic that Real has never beaten Arsenal in the Champions League, though some were sceptical of Real Madrid breaking that fact.

The Real Madrid fans could not believe that Arsenal could give them a humiliating 3:0 defeat. It was a great evening for the Gunners fans and we enjoyed every bit of the game. The day ended in joy as we joined Barcelona fans to celebrate the defeat of Real Madrid. Tomorrow is another day and until my next diary, a joyous day to you all.
