I&#8217;m really starting to think there are some stomach demons flying around @ 5am because for the past three days, I have been waking up at five.  Ok, a day before yesterday, I woke up @ 6, but what&#8217;s the difference?  Anyways, I was supposed to go to church with my mother, but mennnn, the pain was too much.  Before I knew what was going on, I was slumped over in pain and crying.  I&#8217;m not a cry baby oh!  Maybe I cry @ almost all the movies I watch, but I am not a cry baby!  Anyways, I couldn&#8217;t go to Church, so I stayed in my mother&#8217;s bed (hey!  she&#8217;s still my mommmy! haha)<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ll tell you the truth, while my mother was gone to Church, I kept asking God why he let me be this sick; I asked him if I committed any sin that no1 else has ever committed, but he just gave me the silent treatment.  In fact, I think I heard him laughing at me.  Anyways, before my mother left, she said I may be suffering from ulcer, so when she left, I opened up my medical dictionary to look up the symptoms, and unfortunately, I do have the symptoms.  But you know what saddened me the most?  The fact that if I have ulcer, it means I am not supposed to eat spicy foods and fatty foods; ok, I can deal with not eating fatty foods (I shouldn&#8217;t be eating it anyways), but not eating spicy foods?  Oh, Lord!  Is that even humanly possible?  Do you know how good Funmie&#8217;s peppery egwusi soup is?  What about my future plans to go to Naija and eat all the suya I can?  And what about my very tasty, spicy okro (&#038; ogbono) soup?  I weep @ the thought of life without spicy food.  God, as far as I am concerned, I can report this to the law officials of America; this is a cruel &#038; unusual punishment!<\/p>\n<p>But food aside sha, I have another assignment due tomorrow.  I have to read this drama (called &#8216;trifles&#8217;), and answer a buncha questions.  On the plus side, it seems like an interesting drama.  Maybe I should learn how to write drama; well, maybe later.  I don&#8217;t wanna become a jack of all trades and master of none, although I don&#8217;t mind being the former&#8230;without being the latter, of course.<\/p>\n<p>So Diary, I see you have been getting a lot of visitors, huh?  Na u oh, biko!  One of these days, we will find you a husband on the blog.  Just tell me who (abi what) your type is, and I will hook you up.   <\/p>\n<p>Anyways, goodnite 4 now.  We go yarn tomorrow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had to wake up @ 5am this morning because I was in pain again.
