CHRONICLES OF LADY AVA



"After you've consumed all that bleeds from the soul of an artist, tell me, who are you not rooting for?" ~ Huwa.

Ava does this thing where she often forgets that movies are not reality. She takes to heart so much of what happens in movies, and while this isn’t necessarily wrong, taking it to an extreme is unhealthy.

Like after watching The Fault in Our Stars (a cancer movie), madam came up with the assumption that she had brain cancer, that there was a tumor in her brain. Trust me, it was hilarious, because what do you mean? Only Ava can turn a slight migraine into a brain tumor.

I was at Government College today, and it brought to mind Ava’s craziness. Government College was her dream secondary school. There was this one time she came up with a plan to finally attend her dream school.

Government College is an all-boys boarding school, and she had just finished watching one K-drama (To the Beautiful You), where a female character disguised herself as a boy just to attend an all-boys boarding school.

Madam said if the character could pull it off, she could too. Lol.

P.S. Walking through the serene walls of Government College today, I don’t blame her much for wanting to disguise just to attend. It is incredibly gorgeous.

Dearest reader, do you ever believe strongly in a reality portrayed by a movie or book? For example, the way hopeless romantics believe in an idea of love that’s a little far-fetched.

Most times, the music we listen to, the books we read, and the movies we watch all sort of mold an ideal reality in us, and sometimes define what we see as possible. Don’t you think?

"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 ...
