A DAY CALLED LOVE

Hey there,

How was your Val's day? Mine was just there, though got several Val wishes from friends through SMS and a lovely gift from a older admirer. He was just a dear.

Down here, traffic was crazy...people were stuck in traffic and were made late for one appointment or the other. I can imagine the facial expression on a gal who was kept waiting because her guy could not get to her on time or a guy who had everything planned for a romantic evening with his gal...... but later discover she wouldnt make it because of traffic.
That's how terrible the traffic was.

Though would have shared what i did on Val's Day with you, but sorry to disappoint you....i live a boring life which is why i started this blogged in the first place (that's the story of my life).
Anyway, this year i saw a new side to valentine's day than the one i'm used to. 

It's more of others than on us. What i'm trying to say is that people are becoming more involved with others than just themselves.

People are spending holidays or the so-called special days with people they don't even know.
The way we see and do things in the past are now gradually been seen as selfish and traded for selflessness. Social responsibility is now the in-thing. 

Giving back to the social is so rewarding and in it's little way helps make the society a better place for all of us.

I think this financial turmoil in the West is a blessing in disguise for Africa (though not in its totality). 

You may ask , Why? How? 

Well, people are becoming aware of the fact that Africa is not just a land of war but is  land full of blessings if one can take a good unbaised view at the continent. It just simply need few good heads to make it a gold mine for business. 

If not, why is that alot of foreign countries bringing in their enterpreneurial and expertize into this great continent? They are looking for ways to invest in the continent which is great in a way (That's if they aren't looking for cheap labour). But that's business, right? However, i am glad we on the spot light for once for a good thing.

For how long? who cares....as long as we are not going to make the same mistakes our forefathers made that led us to the colonial era, and we make the best out of it and tell them "Developed Countries" that they are very,very wrong about us. 

And that we are much more than what they think of us while keeping it real.
Whatever the case maybe, the world is watching and the SET TIME for us to show them that we are great people is now.

Bye for now
it's ur gal....Gentlehawk
Stay Real, Stay True
