Eku Ojo Meta (Long Time)

Wow,i guess u really lost track of time. The "lack of speed" of the internet connection at the Office contributed too but i guess the straw that broke the camels back as per blogland for me was my new laptop. I'd been waiting since july this year for the thing to come but it was like all the demons in hell were assigned to ensure that i didn't get it. I did everything, i mean everything. Eventually, one dude in the UK said he could get me a really nice laptop at a ridiculous price (cheap i mean) Trust me now, typical omo naija, i quickly subscribed to the dude, sent him all the specs and all, with the expectation that in two weeks i'll be holding my machine in my arms. But that was not to be. To cut the long story short, the dude eventually brought the machines into the county after keeping me on hold for 2 months and then just like that, he dissapeared. No calls, no nothing. He just vanished into thin air. Thank God I hadn't paid yet. He probably sold the machines off to someone elso and ran off. It was like back to square one for me after that. After about another two wwk wait, this classmate of mine from college shows up and says that he's got some nice dells, pentium M and stuff. I jump up and praise the Lord and immediately schedule a pick up date. My dear readers, when the bible said do not be ignorant of the devices of the evil ones, the Bible meant it. can you believe that when i got to my friends house, the six new dell laptops had all been bought up by his pupsy and well, he couldnt reserve one for me cos the man wanted all six and that was all he had. The dude made me waste my credit and transport, only for me to get there and start hearing stories about how he didn't want to upset me on the phone bla bla bla

that was how the issue of a cousin of his that can get me a good laptop came up. I told him what i wanted but i think he either deliberately decided not to listen or his cousin was just plain dumb. AT that point, i was so sick of the whole laptop story that i made some stupid choices. They were going to send me a laptop that i hadnt seen, didnt know anything about other than the fact that it is a compaq and the processor is AMD. WHich AMD, Athlon, Sempron, Duron????????????? bros no answer o. He was just stresing 512MB RAM,80GB HDD bla bla bla.On a normal day, i prbably would have given him the boot but with the way i was craving the machine, i decided to take the chance, believing thea everything would be fine..........................The heck it was

when the thing finally arrived, after fedex delayed it for another week ( can u imagine, fedex delayed a patcel that travelled from lagos to abuja for 45minutes at the airport for 1 week? i don't know the people who don't want me to get this machine)it was a compaq presario V27something US. definitely not what i wanted, with an AMD mobile sempron. shucks! Not what i wanted. but i had to take it sha for my friends sake. The combination of the delay at fedex and the fact that he put doown his entire september salary as down payment for the machine left me with no other choice. Call me softy or goody two shoes but i couldnt bring myself to tell him to return it after all the stress he went through to get it.He had to literally fight them at Fedex, constantly for the entire week before they finally got the machine at the port.

so there it is. my enemies have lost. I have a machine. though not what i want but well, its better than nothing. You now what, i just got a flash (must be the Holy spirit). I just remebered that when i wanted to get into college, i wanted to study medicine but i ended up studying pharmacy and only by God's grace. my name came out with the third list, close to the start of the semester exams. I remember my first lecture, i was like samurai jack in the strange lands......Lost! Thank God for Teva who lent me her notes to xerox. (thats how we met). Anyway
the thing is, at the end of it all, i graduated top of my class and with a first class. (neat ehn?) i've never stopped asking myself if that would have happened if i had gotten the medicine i wanted and to tell you the truth, i don't think so. Its not that medicine is hard or something, infact pharmacy is a lot harder cos its more theoretical. The thing is, that was what God wanted for me. So I'm going to console myself with that and try to enjoy my dear little mobile sempron.

Teva, Thanks for all the support. I'll try to keep up now. I tried to post a comment on tinu's silent words but still couldn't. Is it cos i ain't blogging in beta. Na them know o, i ain't blogging in beta.Why U ask? Well, since the day i changed my yahoo mail to better, see wahala just to log in. That silly bouncy dude will just keep going at it all day. In fact, its been at it all morning now. Os, no more beta for me, except its offline.
and madame, the babe did not show me. I told you, i'm not ready yet, plus i'm too busy babysitting you. I'm your lovenichal adviser now, abi? so i have to keep in shape so i can catch up with your crush pace.
