DECISIONS



Sometime in February, I was at the cinema. The day I went, they had Black Panther, 50 shades freed and Maze runner: Death cure all lined up and running at about the same time. I was very ecstatic about watching Black Panther due to the hype, I wanted to see what was making people go crazy 😁. However, I was also intrigued by the 50 shades series so I wanted to see how it would all come to an end, plus I had seen a couple of trailers before. I also wanted to watch Maze runner, although not as much as I wanted to see the other 2 but I've also followed the series so I wanted to see the end of it all. Plus Dylan O'Brien 😍 who played the role of Thomas was there so I had to see one of my favourite actors take on 'Wckd' for the last time on screens.



 After weighing all my options, I decided to watch Black Panther with hopes that I would be able to get the rest at school from fellow movie fanatics 😊. Thank God I did. Now here I am, 2 months later, I have both Maze runner: Death cure and 50 shades freed all in HD on my laptop for my private viewing 😊😊 but still haven't gotten Black Panther in HD 😢. It sure made me feel happy that I had made the best decision 2 months ago.

 However, I don't always make the best decisions. Most times, I feel like I make the worst possible decision there is. Most times, when I go to the cafeteria and I have to choose between 2 different food combos, after buying, when I get to my room to eat, I usually feel like I made the worst choice after taking the first spoon 😣.


Most times I feel like I make bad decisions and maybe I really have made bad decisions but you know what I've learnt? Over thinking it and blaming myself about it has never helped change or make the decision better. I usually just have to live with the results of my decisions and if it's a decision I get the opportunity to make again, I'd be wiser off next time but if it isn't, I must make the best out of the 'bad' decision that I've made. I call it maximising my outcomes no matter what.

I'M MOVING TO AUSTRALIA 🥳🎉🎉

I’m moving…. AGAIN? Call me Kwaku the traveller cos I do be travelling… but not this time. I’m actually moving. By now, most (if not everyone) reading this blog knows I've moved to Sydney, Australia. When I first posted about arriving in Australia on WhatsApp, I think some people thought I was just visiting Australia because I have been travelling A LOT this year. In just 9 months of this year, I've been to 6 countries, including Singapore and Australia, which is A LOT! If you didn't already figure it out, the reason I was travelling like a headless chicken in summer was because I sorta knew I was leaving the UK. So I wanted to get the most out of that location proximity and visa while I could. Few people fully understand how and why I made the move, and posting this on Twitter revealed this very jarringly. Especially since the tweet referenced me having worked in Cairo, London and now Sydney all by the --- very ripe (I quickly rued my choice of "very ripe age" a...

A LUNCH TO REMEMBER

I'm writing this blog on Sunday, the 26th of May, 2024. On Wednesday, I posted about this incredible lunch I had that I was going to share the details of on my WhatsApp status but never got around to writing down the story. To truly “immortalize” this experience, I’ve decided to also share this story on my blog. Here's the story. Let’s start at the beginning. My industry friend invited me to this steak lunch at a restaurant called Bistecca.  All I knew about the restaurant was the name. I typed in the details on Google Maps and walked from my office. When I was 1 minute away, I thought a building I saw in the distance was the restaurant, but when I got closer, I realized it wasn’t it. I looked around, trying to find said restaurant while simultaneously swearing for Google Maps; after all, this wouldn't be the 1st time Google Maps had led me astray. Remember my Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very bad day ? Yeah, that was all proudly sponsored by Google Maps. While looking arou...

THE ART OF LAZINESS

I think it's funny how before the announcement on the 19th of July 2019 quite a number of people (whose only idea of who I am is based off what they see on my WhatsApp status updates) thought or would have loved to think that I was lazy, unserious, unambitious, etc, etc, etc. While I totally understand why they thought that, it still cracks me up  nonetheless. But now, due to new information that came to light on said date, those people have either totally abandoned those thoughts, started doubting those ideas or think I'm one of those pretentious people in class who play all day with their friends and read all night when everyone has gone to sleep then end up getting 100% on tests while their peers don't do as well. Truth is, I am lazy and unserious (but most definitely not unambitious) but just not in the way you would think. So maybe their initial thoughts were half right. About laziness: I like to think of my laziness as being selectively part...
