Literal Diva

Guess who finally joined the gym? I finally plucked up the courage to renew my gym membership after two year of giving up. Today went pretty well, I worked out for almost two hours on the treadmill, bicycle and other equipment I don't know the names of. I also did squats lifting 10kg weights. I got motivated to go back to the gym after looking at pictures from a friends birthday party and Lord did my belly stick out of my dress, right now I am at my biggest and I feel my body is starting to affect my self esteem so its time to bring sexy back .

Happy new week guy! While I was wide awake last night battling my insomnia, I got an idea to start a weekly series of short stories and developing the plot weekly. I started writing on my phone and I hope to have the first part out before the end of the week with the title Home Far Away for now. Writing is something I love and I wanted it to be full time career growing up, but somewhere down the line I got distracted by friends, school and boys, at some point I wanted to drop out of school to start writing full time but I convinced myself I have all the time in the world doing it. I wrote a children book when I was fourteen but the computer had issues so we had to wipe the system. This new series will help me develop my writing skills and start reliving my dream as a kid. I hope it really works out since I quit easily, this is going to be a big challenge for me.

Mojoyin loves Emeka but she feels he doesn't  love or care about her the way she did him , she wonders if he had another woman that got his attention . She gave up so much for him , a future with a man who will make her feel like a princess every morning. She wondered why she choose him, a man who rarely replies her text message, who doesn't say I love you ! Or I miss you ! If she doesn't say it first , she always makes plan to see him and he never asks to see her , his excuse is that he has been in a previous relationship based on constant calling and questioning the whereabouts of his partner and that did not end well so he doesn't want this to end up that way .  Do people lose interest when they know they have your attention or is there something unhealthy about this relationship . The relationship was not always like this , he was a caring and fun guy , who called regularly to check up on her , but somewhere down the line something went wrong and its never been...

Hi guys I’m back and hopefully for good this time, I find it very hard to continue blogging but since school is over for me till September I might as well give it another shot. Honestly I do not know why I created a blog in the first place, but it does sound nice calling yourself a blogger. I am Rukayat Omobola Owolabi and I am a blogger! Sounds cool enough don’t you think? Fresh out of College with a degree, well almost, I have to re-sit my company law exam after I blanked out in the exam hall, effing painful but hey it happens. I cannot graduate with a 2:1 because I messed, so I have to settle for what I get because it’s what I deserve , but I shall work my ass of next year to complete my degree. I have four months off for the summer , and it looks like a lifetime, but this summer I’ve decided to change and make a list of what to do before the end of summer, so here it is; ·        Blog more often. ·        Improve...

Hi guys, how have u all been? I've been MIA for a while but swear I have a good reason. Been dealing with a lot from lost assignments to personal issues, where do I start? Lost assignments; I had an assignment typed and saved but it somehow disappeared from my laptop, I  an hour before submission was over  because I was bored and something told me to go through my files. I taught it was a sick joke, after ten minutes of crying and a few punches to my screen I realized it was gone. I managed to find bits and pieces on my laptop and ended up submitting that, as that was the best thing to do, the assignment is worth 30%. I emailed the lecturer and she was very understanding. Another assignment also went missing I’m just going to play dumb till the lecturer contacts me.

This was supposed to be one of the happiest days of my life. My wedding ceremony was not how I’d always imagined; it was rushed and happened so fast it seems like a dream. ‘Are you ready?’ a voice asked from the bathroom. The sound of his voice sends shivers down my spine; I don’t why know he scares me. ‘Yes’ I answered. My sister told me everything I needed to know about what was going to happen. I took of my night dress and waited in my knickers. Standing behind me, he started cupping my breast in his hands, I stay still as I watched his movement in the mirror, and I freeze as my body starts to respond to his touch. He proceeds to undress himself; I close my eyes as he pulled off his boxers. Mother had always made us close our eyes when father took his clothes off back in the family house. ‘Lay down ‘his  whispered as his eyes moved to the bed, his voice calm yet scary. I did as I was told. Minutes, groans, moans and tears after, my husband collapsed beside me. ...

I don't even know what to call this post I’m just going to rant. Men like to take the piss like oh my God. So I've been talking to this guy, I know i'm  not meant to, but there is intentions for anything. He is Irish and creepy must I say the guy uses every opportunity to ask for a picture and relate it back to sex; he is so sneaky he does it in such a nice way you won’t realize he is doing it. You can’t be telling me I look sexy every minute, that is why I have mirrors He is also in a relationship for over a year, yet he makes sexually advances towards me, like who does that.  Me been me I would just laugh at everything then ignore you afterwards. He went asking me to coffee to inviting me over to his so I can model I quote “my sexy African body" I watch too much criminal minds and Dexter to follow for guy to his house abeg. Next thing I know I’m buried in some bush, or cut up in a freezer somewhere. No thanks I’m my mother’s first born and i'l  like ...

I am still trying to understand what these people DNA  is made off , what prompts a person and sexually attracts an adult to a minor. It is simply disgusting and degrading to society, every day there is always an article on a sex offender or pedophile to be precise. According to the dictionary a pedophile is someone sexually attracted to children.  I just do not understand how messed up a persons mind can be, of all the population of the opposite out there, some sick pervert goes for children. ' A nineteen year old British man in the UK was sentenced to 18 years imprisonment for 49 sexual assaults on 13 teenage boys who he groomed with bribes and threats'   WTF is wrong with the world ? How can a young man decide he wants to molest young boys, for reasons like this I understand why some countries criminalized homosexuality. How psychotic can one simply get? As i law student I've had my fair share of cases like this but I am still amazed on the horrors that goes ...

Hi guys! Happy Friday! Hope you have all had a wonderful week and are looking forward to partying over the weekend. Life has been good so far I guess, school and assignments.  I also started driving. Yay!! I've had my license for more than two years but I had no reason to drive, I’m yet to get to a car so I’m just using my mums. It’s actually not that bad, I’m still a bit scared but I guess it’s the norm for new drivers.

Hi guys!  Hope you are all good, this has been a stressful week; I finally submitted two company law assignments that the lecturer gave the class since September and I feel a heavy weight off my shoulders. Two assignments down, seven more to go. I ditched a four hour lecture because I didn't feel like going , how lazy can one get. The prayer room in my school makes praying easy, I don't have to do it all when I get home. Suits makes been a barrister so cool , walking around a company in heels like you own the world and winning cases everyday and in reality I find it hard to get an internship.

Hi guys! It’s had been a while, I've been busy working on assignments and short stories for the blog; I am still new to this and also trying to figure out things and the settings of the blog. School has been hectic , I've got to much assignments to hand in , two on Wednesday which I’m not half way done with all thinks to Dexter 'great show by the way if you are into serial killers , a lot of blood though ' .

11/01/2014 Ruqkayah started praying again. I started praying this morning, I slept late but I made sure I was up for Fajr, the water was so cold but I was determined. Last time I prayed was 2-3 months ago, I don't have a reason for stopping but I always do, I found it easier to pray because  wanted to and not because I needed to.

It’s almost two months since I got robbed, around the corner from my house with a knife held to my neck, to be honest it’s not a great experience for a person to go through. I've lived in fear ever since, every time I walk home , I look back after taking a step, every time I notice a male with his hood up , my pulse races.

So a few days ago I saw a video on YouTube where a boy hits his mother, insults her, pulls her wig off in a public supermarket .The mother simply retaliates by beating him and cursing at him, while this was happening, another child who looks older than the boy, watched and played with her wig.

This must be what death feels like. My head hurts as blurred images of last night began to fill my head. I had way too much to drink, all in the name of my best friend’s 21st birthday party. It was also meant to be my anniversary with my boyfriend Mo, well ex now, the so called love of my life. I got dumped! Yes I said it I got dumped. I really don't blame him, guess he finally got tired of my lifestyle, I give him some credit though, spending two years with a girl and not getting some is no joke. 

Hi guys , so its been a while . I had some personal drama to deal with and while i was away i got some ideas on what to do for the year . First i decided on a permanent name for my blog Literal Diva ,  i will feature short stories written by myself and maybe other writers . I will put up videos , have discussions about all different kinds of things , i make a list of what i will like to achieve this year and i will share with you all . Happy New Year everyone , hope the new year brings us joy , happiness ,wealth and health .

"Excuse me , do you have this in a UK 14 ?" i asked a staff in the forever 21 store . She paused looking at me form head to toe . "I'm sorry we do not , but you can try the plus size section" she replied and walked away . I looked around to see if any one had witnessed my embarrassment, fortunately not , i wanted to disappear into thin air . "She just called me fat " i said to an invisible audience . This feels like a scene from mean girls when Regina George ate too much of the kalteen bars and couldn't fit into her prom dress. I'm only a size 14 , well i convinced myself i was . I blamed the fabric every time trousers stopped half way up my thighs in the changing room  . "There is has to be something wrong with the tagging " i always said to comfort my self. Plus size section ! Am i that big ? I took another look at my self in the mirror , I started a diet plan in my head chicken , lots of protein , soy milk , no carbs , no sweet...

A friend asked me what my ideal man was , i told her tall , dark , handsome , caring, romantic , funny , intelligent, sexy, 7/8 figure salary , faithful. I ended with he doesn't exist .We all want the Trey Songs , Chris Brown , Lynxx , Chris Attoh Iyanya's of the world , we look at the physical appearance and already we are lusting , who knew Chris would hit Rihanna . Most women want this man , no one wants a short , ugly let me say unattractive or poor man , most people settle for less after pressure from family or been the only one in the clique that is single.  I told my mum i didn't want to get married till was 27 , she looked at me as if i was crazy and jejely rebuked the curse she assumed i placed on my self , then went on to give a speech about how that was to old and no one wants old cargo.I remember sending pictures of guys i found amusing  not in a good way to friends to they could laugh at the way they looked and joke about  how they were stupid to ask me ou...

I would do anything to get my hand on you, what lengths would I go to get you but you are way out of my league. It was love at first sight, I noticed your smooth skin when I walked past and I had to feel you, your smoothness. Dark and beautiful, your creation was perfect and accurate, for weeks I continued to watch you I envied the women that had and held you, but we obsess over our wants, not our needs. I promise not to treat you like they do, i know your worth . I wanted to be the envy of other women who could not get you, flaunting your perfecting everywhere I went, I knew it was meant to be so I came up with a plan . I watched as you left in her arm, followed her into the restaurant and club, I waited for her to go the ladies knowing she would abandon you after a few glasses of wine, and there it was an opportunity only a fool will miss out on. Her friends chatted amongst themselves not acknowledging your presence, walking straight past them I took picked you up, holding you i...

You can never forget the day you met him even though when you did you never thought you would find yourself in this position a year after . You were two different people but when you were together it did not matter for a while. He was an Ibo Christian in his twenties and you are a Yoruba Muslim in your teens, different path of life and upbringing, brought together by a  phone call  one midnight.
