hair revamp

Well this is one of those publications I told you I had to hold back on due to lack of appropriate illustrations for you.
I'll tell you about it anyways, see if you can follow.
See I have carried this hair for quite sometime - beyond the four weeks period most people I know keep their hair. That's because I believe that if the hair inside isn't smelling and you took the time and money to buy a pretty good weapon, then you should carry it for as long as it looks good or at least longer than four weeks. So I'll tell you how I did it.
The hair was originally wavy, but it had started to lose the wave. Make sure that while the hair is still new, you comb it line by line at least once a week with a wave comb - even if the weapon is expensive, it still need proper care just like the synthetic ones.
When it is over a month it may lose some of the waves and if you want it back, here's how to do it.
First, get those really tiny rollers that have a soft rubber attachment to hold the hair in place.
Rub in a good serum or hair shine product. Comb it in. Take really tiny portions of the hair - I'd like to call it YOUR hair. And wrap it round the rolers. You have just about twelve but that's all you'll need.
Do this in different parts of you hair Making to go around the hair. You may have to lift off portions of hair to pick smaller portions underneath.
You can now simply leave it till morning.
In the morning. Unwrap the hair from the rollers. You should have combed your hair properly the previous day to avoid having to comb this morning.
If you did it well, you can just walk out your door without doing more than running your hands through the hair and your hair will look like you made it yesterday.
Oh, let this be our little secret.

HAPPY NEW YEARS

I said happy new years because it's been so long. I am sorry for not being here for so long. I have a lot to tell you but due to many difficulties, I haven't been able to.
I promise to do my best to share all that I have with you even if I may not have all the needed attachments to give you the best. As time goes on I will add what I can.
So the new thing I want to focus on is languages.
Has it ever happened to you that because of time and other factors, languages that you have learned and mastered, begin to wane. You seem to lose touch with them.
Mine happened with English language; the language I received many nicknames for.
So this year I have decided not to sit down and watch that happen. I will get at least five words from the dictionary at random everyday and never stop even when I am completely back in control. I think I'll also throw in a bonus of other languages to make it more fun.
I invite you to join me on this journey. Whatever your waned language may be. Jump in and take it back.
Welcome to the active year of 2015.

NEW THINGS, OLD THINGS

What's the difference?
I guess I always knew that there is nothing new under the sun. Things is that I only recently am beginning to realise it for sure.
I am watching the power tussle in my country Nigeria. At the same time I am watching this very excellent series - game of thrones. I have always been a fan of ancient movies, movies about ancient times, and history in general.
I see that lack of knowledge of history has lead many to believe that they are doing something entirely new that no one has ever done.
The truth is that there is indeed nothing new under the sun. We simply find new ways of doing old things.
Take slavery for instance. We think that the declaration of rights has made it impossible for slave trade but slave trade has simply just found a new way to hide in plane sight.
Many men and women are still slaves today. Unfortunately, this new form of slavery is unknown to many of its slaves. I'll elaborate more on this later.
Another thing that I have seem that has never changed is the power tussle I was talking about. It's all about who can control things, who has . The most money, who can manipulate people the most and all the rest of that stuff. It's like I am watching a reenactment of "300" or even this "game of thrones".
My point is that since there is nothing new really. Then we must look back at our own lives and the lives of others that have lived before us, both the good and the bad and learn from them before we can look forward in life.
We need to stop being in such a haste everyday and pay attention to the things that really matter. Theist upward flying invention is the rocket and there is a reason why what propels it is at its rear.
Think on this till next time.

As a continuation of my thoughts, I realise that even in this age of democracy, the downtrodden do not want to support their fellows who try to rise for the good of all.
Also, even with new technology available, it seems to leave those in power even more confused over what to do about public feelings, it's really funny to watch. Till next time
