CHRONICLES OF LADY AVA: "Fine Man" Saga




If you know Ava, you’ll know the rate at which madam catches crushes is alarming. Every week, new crush. That’s why when she says “my crush said,” we all echo, “Which one?”

So when she came all giddy and excited, I knew she had seen one fine boy. The only things that get her that happy are food, new crushes, novels, and taking on new challenges.

Madam swore the chemistry between her and this newfound crush was 9/10. It was all she talked about for days. She bored our ears with details of their chats. Three days, same energy. I was beginning to think that maybe this time, the crush would be serious. Madam was already getting ahead of herself, planning their lives together.

Well, as fate would have it, on the fourth day, she came back heartbroken. Her crush was snubbing her. So I sat her down and went over the whole story again. When we were done, we realized she had just gotten ahead of herself. Their conversations and interactions had been nothing but platonic at best, 7nothing showing that the guy liked her.

I did my best to hold my laughter. But as laughable as it is, the whole experience has something to teach.

We often read too much meaning into things, especially my gender. And funny enough, we tend to over-exaggerate things, which stops us from seeing things the way they truly are.

Dearest reader, I know it’s not only Ava that does this thing of planning life with someone after just one conversation. And honestly, this can ruin something that could’ve turned out to be a beautiful friendship.

Take your time with people. Don’t fly into conclusions. Get to know them. Experience platonic friendship instead of romanticizing, or rather, relationship-zoning, every “your type” you come across.

PS: In Ava’s defense, it’s K-drama to be blamed lol. Innocent K-drama, abi?

"NOT ADMITTED"

Image
She clicks on the Whatsapp group chat,  Yet another "Congratulations, you've been admitted", with her heart heavy, she angrily leaves the group, minimize out of Whatsapp. There she is patiently waiting for chrome to load her admission status, this is the third time today she's logging into her jamb caps.  Her eyes almost eager with hope, she muttered under her breath, "God please" The network server makes matter worst by going sluggishly as she clickes "Regular admission status" she closes her eyes, hoping against hope, praying fervently, that this time it'd be different.  But it's not, because as she opens her eyes slowly, she's greeted with an arrogantly boldly written, "NOT ADMITTED", screaming at her. Suddenly the dam breaks.  Silently, tears begin to stream down her eyes, taking a rather familiar router via her chin.  The urge to throw her phone across the room intensifies, she wishes she could will her admission into exi...

TEAM WORK

Image
It can be quite frustrating when a collective effort results in only one person receiving all the praise. Even if my contribution is just 1%, it shouldn’t be overlooked. You never know how these small efforts can make a significant difference. My bubugaga is back from school, and today we did a lot of tidying up. It’s amazing how I suddenly find the energy to work when she's around, despite my usual laziness. After completing so much work, we took a break—we were honestly worn out. Fast forward to the end of the day: everyone applauded her for a job well done, as though it was solely her effort. It felt off because I felt I deserved some recognition too—it was teamwork, after all. So, the point is, you never know how hurtful it can be when someone's effort goes unacknowledged. No matter how small the contribution, appreciate it alongside the major ones. Dearest reader, do you find yourself annoyed like myself when your effort is overlooked in a team work?  @favvy_Ok...

LESS THAN ONE.

Image
There are days when my arms are too heavy to hold a pen, my brain too disorganized to put a sentence together, my thoughts an unending swirl of emotions. But then there are days—days when my smile can break through your screen, invade your life, and steal alongside your heart. Days when my excitement can be likened to that of a 2-year-old, where my inquisitiveness and curiosity know no bounds. Well, today is the latter. But like a poet I love once said, "Even if the light's turned on and my fears are not gone, I'll give it my best shot because the show must go on." So, I'd like to talk about something today: the idea of "LESS THAN ONE." But before we dive into this, allow me to tell you a story. ***** Once upon a time, I had a friend. You know that feeling of being friends with the girl every guy wants, so you get a lot of "Please help me talk to your friend"? In school, we had our lunch bought by different guys each day—one of the ...
