THE PERSONAL CHALLENGE

Ever since I started sewing and creating stuff, I’ve become close with a few other people who like to sew too. So when my friend hits me up on Whatsapp the other day that he’s almost done with a new challenge, I’m like “Oh my goodness, trust these people to keep you on your feet even when you need those feet to rest”; ‘cause trust me, when your friend tells you hey I just made this, you like?, you start to feel like you’re the laziest person ever! Like, you could have been doing something instead of watching that stupid soap cos really you already know how the story will end. *hisses* so you get up your ass and get on the machine!
So I lazily reply him, “oh really, let me see it when you’re done”. You can’t imagine my relief when he said it was not a sewing project!

His project, his personal challenge was… *drum roll* *pause for effect* … staying away from porn and masturbation for a month! I know some of you will say, oh c’mon! I’ve gone without for longer than a month! *yinmu* ehn, we have heard! Drum roll for you too.

Now you might be wondering why my friend would disclose something like that to me… well, cos I and my friends can be close like that! Moving on…

Staying away from porn (and all other things that follow) can be quite a challenging thing to do; that’s why I’m always proud of folks who struggle to stop, abstain, burn CDs, Shift+Del their porn videos. So I know 3 people now who have made it their challenge to stop watching porn and I yaaaay them! Even if you’re just abstaining for some time, I’ll still yaaaay you cos that also is a bold step!

So why does this make me happy, and why am I blogging about it? Why, cos I think it’s worth it to cheer on people who have decided to drop really bad habits; cos not only have they taken on a big bold step, they also are courageous! May the good Lord grant the rest of us such courage! Amen.

PS: If y’all wanna start a Porn Anon. forum on my blog, feel free to ask me! Lol. No really, ask me!

CONFESSIONS OF A RUNAWAY BLOGGER

Hi! Given the long duration I’ve been away from blogging, I feel the urge and need to re-introduce myself (honestly I hope this doesn’t happen often in the future cos I still got some running to do). My name is Faith, aka FRJ, aka the Rebelkween. I’m the proud owner (not so proud tho) of this blog. I’ve gone AWOL for a while now and I’m so sorry! I apologise to my readers and friends (who HAD my blog link bookmarked on their Opera Mini).

So much time has gone and so many things have happened; and even though I would love to say “please bookmark me again”, I cannot promise that I’ll be as regular as I used to be. I, however, promise to try my best not to be so far away again. So Laoye, Francis, Jo, V (and all the others that didn’t ask where/why I was gone ‘cause they were too busy or just didn’t give a hoot), here I am – I give myself, again! Maybe not my whole self, but take me one blog post at a time.

So, what have I been up to? Well, two words can answer that – FASHION SCHOOL. It’s not like a real fancy fashion school, but it will suffice for now. Wait, what am I talking about? ‘Now’ is just a few weeks more, 4 to be precise. Yup, I finish with fashion school in 4 weeks; been at it since January. Made a couple of friends, learnt some things, and made some things (pictures below). Majorly it was 90% practical, 5% theory, 10% gossip, and the remaining 5% was fight, fight, fight! You know how some married women just love to hate on the single ladies.

Anyways, here are some of the things I made:

The Ankara Foot Mat

The Duvet

The Throw-Pillow

Purses

Rings et Bangles

Jacket, Waist Coat, Peplum Tops

Peplum Dresses etc.

Neck Pieces, Hair Bows

And of course! My parade attire (fabric bead, straight trouser with suspenders, refashioned tshirt with butterfly backslash design ;D)

So errr… what’s next is y’all think up label names for me. Don’t worry, I’ll keep an open mind and try to make something out of all the funny (and perverse) names I know you guys  are capable of coming up with! *insert grin here*

And oh yeah, dear recently-confessed stalker (you know yourself), feel free to resume your stalking ways, it’ll only get my writing-high on and for that I feel honoured, for the first time, to have a stalker!
