LESSON LEARNT

First of, i'd want to officially welcome everyone that would be a part of 'little nothings'...i'm sure we'll all enjoy ourselves through sharing our experiences...we all see those ordinarily-taken-for-granted issues and most times we are driven to ignore...we laugh over them,tease ourselves over those lingering habits that arent so 'cool' then again we just cant stop doing the same things over and again period!
Over the years i've been to, through and seen quite a lot of  'little nothings' But for starters, we'll look at the lingering issue whuch almost landed me on a sick bed....NOT EATING BREAKFAST!!!

Now, i can almost see a lot of you wondering what this is about....go easy on me now will you?...i  was a big fan of no-breakfast-for-me-please!!! until lastnight when i had a near-death experience...trust me, i would never have thought that the whole parts of my body could liase to 'haunt' me'....now i believe the african adage that says "when one finger is soiled the others are equally affected!" so very true...

Eating breakfast early isn't one of the things we do best as we are always almost dashing out with bags in hand to work, school or functions....it isnt our fault especially as we dont have to break our fast considering we had a late meal the previous night...uhmmm my thought exactly! funny i know! it is one of the mostly taken for granted things... who cares about breakfast anyways especially when you have to leave home at 5a.m if you are living in lagos  to avoid getting stuck in a massive traffic...(my friend calls it the largest car park in the world)! or for us students who have 7am classes and stern lecturers handling them , just to get in their good book..u skip breakfast....then again their is the newer concept of Brunch...which i consider a very comfortable substitute to breakfast...

What's all the fuss about? breakfast or no breakfast, we still get by, mind our numerous businesses and go on with our weird, fun and joyful lives...so why this blog?...well, not eating early  was what took me to see the Doc... in his words..u are slowly advancing towards Ulcer....and it's all cos u have a bad eating habit..if u dont stop now u could get anorexic....gbam!!! 2 related life long illness for only me? i stared at him wide eyed... u've got to be kidding me...but he wasnt...it's the raw truth and he was warning....enough said...i've firmly resolved to munch on a little something every morning before one it-doesnt-matter becomes a subject matter!

You might not have gotten to the point where you'd get to hear these words from your doctor...but in your mind you know that you are not doing justice to your body...then think twice..the worms dont run around for no reason...they are hungry if you arent...and you know better than they do to keep them hanging cos they'd certainlt tell...your neighbour will hear that thundering rumble and give you that look....

So, do have a wonderful week filled with no-rumbling stomachs..........
