The Falling Parading Angels by BIODUN ABIOYE


Domino Effect?
Ripple Effect?
'All boring mechanical engineering stuff' I suppose...but on the parade ground it became more practical, than ever.                       
Harsh soldiers I suppose?

Brittle corps you guess?

But it all pointed to just one fact; feeble minds who just wanted a space in the pavilion!         

Just an hour of parade, though tiredness was clearly registered on the faces of members of the group, not one person fell to the ground.

One case too genuine, she fainted.

'That's some strong guy' the group murmured as he carried her out of the ground for the application of first aid. He wasn't a samaritan but a fellow corps member.     

Little wonder my mind was ringing 'If you fall in front of me, we'd fall together, No time'.

Buoyed by the surpassing event, almost every lady parading was left with some 'Ashley young' esque (Manchester United fans should understand this better) and every guy with some energized biceps; excluding me though; as I wanted to fall too.

They've all seen something.     
 
 You see, if you don't want the reality of a couple of events, all you must do is to prevent the first from happening!                                                             
 Finally the parade was over, but backtrack 15 minutes.

In one word, Horror!!!!

Not fewer than 15 girls were carried out, at an average of 1 per minute; of course I wouldn’t add the guys who were ignored on the floor  (hahahahaha).       
             
Fast-forward to the next 3 hours… HOT SUN, NO FAINTING!!

In one word 'Killing'!!!

The next parade session was tough, the soldiers had been taken for granted!

Obviously the previous was just the state of the mind enveloped by sight. 
         
Simply put, if you don't want it to be read; don't write it,

Not to be repeated? Then don't say it,

Not to be seen? Hide it;

For yours, might be worse than that of the FALLING PARADING ANGELS!

LABOURING: IN THE PROCESS OF DREAM BIRTHING (2)

Labour/ birthing of dreams has three main phases, to view the 1st Stage and what it is correlated with, please check LABOURING: IN THE PROCESS OF DREAM BIRTHING . Thank you.

WANNABE INTERN

Week 2 Message to the Pre-Intern: don’t lose hope! Week 2, for me, was 2 months post-induction. This was when the wait began to sink in. You mean I’ve been home for two whole months? By now, I was literally chewing on my fingernails. Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t scared of getting a space, but I certainly wasn’t confident about any place anymore. That is when I began to write this book. Today is the 12th of September and I sit at the dining table in my parents’ house, typing at 11:27pm (because well, I have an editing job to finish up, but mostly because I don’t have to go anywhere tomorrow morning). If I don’t want to, I don’t even have to take a bath tomorrow morning because well, I can stay indoors all day! (I most likely will stay indoors, except for those few minutes when I step out to buy hot akara for my akamu). I am spent. You know, I have applied to a couple of places now. Let me start with the first: LS Health Service Commission At the State Health servic...

LIKE FAITH AND LOVE

Gal 5:6 - For [if we are] in Christ Jesus, neither circumcision nor uncircumcision counts for anything, but only faith activated and energized and expressed and working through love. The heart and the lungs are like faith and love, their functions intertwined, their locations proximate, the feelings that they generate just as conclusive. They produce hope for the survival of the physical body, just like faith and love produce hope for the spiritual body’s survival. Experiences of today made me realize something: we need faith intertwined with love to breathe as spirit beings, as much as we need the functional capacity of our cardio-respiratory apparatuses to breathe the breath of life. It’s that important…faith and love I mean.
