On Mercy for None

Image
So, I'm usually on the hopeless romantic side of k-drama series. So color me shocked on how engrossed I was with Mercy for none.  I mean I know the South Korean film Industry is good, I've been watching them for 12 years now. But this one fed the vengeance in me, even more so than The Glory cos this was pure blood thirst revenge. This series is what I mean when I say I want to watch a revenge drama. I need the gore, the slaughter and the torture to be torturing.  You need to see the blood, the oozing back-to-back pool of blood was feeding my inner vampire. Literally no mercy as is in the series name. The way I was having schadenfreude as everyone was meeting their fate, and the method to the demise kwu, pure butchering. It fed my inner misanthrope. The revenge touch everybody, love eet.  Be like say I go pause on love and light k-dramas for now. I need this violence 🫨🫨

On Losing Weight (2)

I used to look back at my 2019 pictures and do wishful thinking to get back to that size. But doing research on what makes up the body adipose tissue (read fat) is really straightforward. Unless you have Thyroid issues, Endometriosis, PCOS or other medical condition that affects your metabolism, weight loss is something that's within our control. In simple terms, it's about what you eat. 90% of your weightloss will come from diet over forcing yourself to do exercise.  For instance, a 30 minutes Cardio workout burns only about 200 calories. The calories in a loaf of bread is about 5x that. So if you go for a gym session and get pizza afterwards, then it's counterintuitive because you're eating more than you burn. Weightloss, as I've come to learn is what you eat. It's about the portion control, the cutting of junks, the enabling your body to get to ketosis, so you make your body get energy from the fat reserves by burning the excess fat. And that can only be gott...

On Riyallure Fragrances

At the end of the day, your audience is your audience. I stumbled upon Riyallure video on Tiktok and I don't know, something called to me immediately. It's almost as if I was on auto-movement or arrested by the Holy spirit, but I placed my order with immediate alacrity. So I got some samples first so I can know my favourites and they all exceeded my expectations. So Serenity - It's a sweet feminine welcoming scent. It reminds me a bit of Hundred Silent ways by Nishane. I think it's the mandarin and Jasmine in both notes but that's where the similarity ends. Serenity is sweeter (definitely the honey in it) but not too sweet that it smells like saccharine.  Elegance has you feeling like "YOU ARE HER." Like a confident young lady who knows how to take care of herself, look and smell good. The scent is how you'd imagine Arab women with their precise grooming would smell and I believe this is coming primarily from the Musk notes. It is giving siren exudin...

On NYSC Lagos Camp Registration

Registration Guidelines for Lagos NYSC Camp, Iyana Apaja Before I started this camp, there were so many things I wish someone had told me. The registration process is grueling, the queues are endless, and the system can feel downright chaotic. And even with the stated 40% attendance for the Batch A Stream 2, the crowd at the Lagos camp? It's better seen than experienced. If you doubt it, just check Tiktok for video clips. According to the Lagos state coordinator address, there were about 7000+ corpers mobilized for Lagos state but about 3212 people camped at Iyana Apaja. So, knowing what to expect beforehand will save you from unnecessary frustration and help you navigate the process more strategically. Here's everything you need to know to make your registration as smooth as possible. Timing is Everything - Go Ridiculously Early Go early, even the day before if possible. Some people came on the first day as early as 5 am. If you plan on going by 8 am thinking it's early, y...
