Sitting in the library right now and this girl has been looking..no..staring at me on and off for the past 30 minutes. I just told Omolola about it and funny enough this same girl did the same thing to her before day before.
Why do people stare?
I've never understood it. I get the usual *stare worthy* situations, like that moment when fate blesses me with a good view of that unbelievably hot guy, you can't judge me for staring then. But the person starring at me now is female, and even though it's arguable that she's attracted to me (wouldn't that be flattering) I must admit she has no reason to, I have no makeup on, I look a mess, been here studying for a while so I'm not even smiling.
She isnt staring in the polite way guys do...you know the one I'm talking about now...where they look at you, and then look away as soon as you look at them and some smart ones look around like they were just observing the environment and happened to be looking at you at the exact moment you looked up, She is staring in the weird *I know you can see me staring and I don't care* kind of way.
What is she looking at? What is it on my face that she feels the need to check on every few minutes?.
Oh look..She’s looking again...*sigh*
I wish I had a friend who stared so I could ask these questions, I wonder if it's psychological, just a deep inexplicable need to look at one particular face for as long as you can get away with it....hmmmm
Oh well whatever it is, if it isn't an attractive guy staring at me I find it weird and uncomfortable. Now proceeding to change my seat.

Do You Believe in The Stars?
Ahhhhh..*deep sigh*....this feels gooood, (no it's not what you're thinking...oh you weren't thinking that?..oh..my bad...). Feels so good to be blogging again, I think I might have a new addiction.
Haven't posted in a while cuz of exams, I'm not even done yet but I couldn't resist the urge anymore..
On to the reason I'm here.
Do you believe in astrology?..that a bunch of constellations can tell us something of why we are the way we are and even predict our days?.
I did.
I've had an obsession with astrology from junior high school up until..last month I think.
Don't give me that look..it's pretty convincing...I remember how I fell in love with it, I read a book in my first year of high school that talked about each star sign, and its description of Libra (my star sign) was spot on. I was the libra the book described, and that is how the love story between me and astrology began and how I devoted the next 8 years of my life to looking up anything I could about Astrology.
I used to get daily updates on my phone, looked it up online, bought books about it, and the craziest part was that some of the predictions were actually accurate ( they weren't very specific though..).
I finally gave it up a month ago when I realised i had completely lost it, I had reached a point where I was explaining everything from an astrological point of view, especially people. It wouldn't have been out of place to hear me say "oh don't mind him, he's acting that way because he's a Pisces, that's how they are" or "sorry I can't help it, I'm a libra, that's what we do".I'm not quite sure when it got that bad but I didnt like it.
So I deleted all my horoscope apps and quizes and stopped all updates to my phone and un followed all the astrology accounts I followed on twitter..believe me all this took a while.
Anyway now I miss it, miss waking up to at least 2 text messages and 3 emails about my horroscope for the day, i didnt live my life by them though..i just loved having them around and reading them and having something in my horoscope actually happen, but I decided that instead of going back to astrology I'd just write about it and finally move on..hence this post.
A while ago my identity was "Faith Ahiaba, female, Nigerian, Libra."
Not anymore. These days I just stop at Nigerian.

Not this again...
It was a few minutes past 12pm and I had just woken up, I said a quick prayer, switched on my phone and went through my usual morning rituals.
Checked my Bbm status updates..*yawn*...nothing interesting there.
Moved on to twitter..and everyone was talking about 21 May 2011.
As a sharp babe I quickly googled it.
The first words outta my mouth were "not this shit again now..ahahn"
What a way to begin the new year.
For those of you who haven't heard of the phenomenal event happening on that day (although I doubt such people exist now)...it is the day of rapture.
Yes you read right..some pastor said he decoded the date using a mathematical code in the bible.
Can you imagine?..
I took my time to read through it and that's when I got concerned, you see his facts where backed up by the bible, backed up yes, but not correctly used or even understood. Truth is, in the wrong hands and the right amount of ignorance the bible can be used to back up almost anything.
Normally I would've just tweeted about it and moved on but he actually had enough bullshit to confuse people. Any Christian without a proper foundation or a new christain still trying to figure things out could easily have been swayed by his argument.
Not going to go into what he's said, you can always google that, I'm just going say something to remind people that there is ABSOLUTELY no way..no way in hell..that a human being has..or will ever know the day of rapture before it happens.
The bible says no one knows the date, except God, not even Jesus.
I'm pretty sure that if after reading such a passage in the bible, a pastor takes it upon himself to try to outsmart God and decode the day of rapture that can be construed as a Sin. I'm really disappointed in this so called pastor..but then again..the bible say the end times will be filled with 'false prophets'
On to my point, we're only human and we all have weak moments, so whenever you find yourself doubting what you know about this topic, read Mathew 24 :24-44. That should re-assure you.
I promised myself that I was going to keep this short so I wouldn't bore anyone so I'm going to end on this note.
Mathew 24:36
But of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.

2011!!!!!!!
Yay! 2011 is here..all I can say is thank God! He really has been faithful.
Right, for the new year my resolution is 'no resolution'...wait..if no resolution is my resolution that means I do in fact have a resolution of no resolution even though it's not actually a resolution...
Did I confuse you?
My point is I've decided to tackle my obstacles this year as they come, no fore plan, nothing! Seems like it'd be more fun this way.
Well this is my 'new year post'...lol..everyone has one so I thought I'd give it a go...lame huh?..I know ..not my fault, what exactly do you write about a new year you've not seen before??...especially when you have no plan for it..ah well whatever!
