GABRIELLE UNION

Hey!! Don't Judge me! "If I was so happy with charming, how come there was Gabrielle Union?!" Charming and I were amazing together, we had a lovely time together.. But we grew apart. From distance, to time.. It was a lot of strain to get back from.

See, after my amazing time with charming, I had this... Confidence around me.. This vibe (I'm avoiding using the word 'charm' so it doesn't sound like a cliche) around me that boosted my self esteem.. I was bolder, stronger... and sexier..

It was like a high. And guys, there's only one thing I know ladies have in common with dogs; they can sense your confidence, and it's attractive.

Golden Duck - CHARMING

CHARMING

The next year brought a new change in my life as my entire family moved to a new house. Farther away from Rachael and all those emotional ‘BS’. It was an avenue to start afresh; I wasn't even thinking about all those kinda things as I had school on my mind with how to survive from seniors and still graduate with a good enough result.

5 years went by so fast as I finished sec. school and I found myself in year 2 of University.. Still a golden duck that hadn't even had his first kiss. I never really bothered about it.. Even with friends around me that gave tales of their many escapades with girls. Yeah, I was up for trying again, but I wasn't going to go out of my comfort zone.

Apple to pay 13 billion euros in tax

The European Union on Tuesday hit Apple with a $14.5 billion tax penalty, ruling its deal with Ireland was illegal.

EU antitrust regulators say the 13 billion euro payment to Ireland could be slashed if other countries, including the US, demand the company pay more within their own jurisdictions, the European Commission announced in a statement.

The 18 Things To Accomplish Before Turning 30

I saw this post on LinkedIn and decided to share because I liked most of the things in it and thought it was a good read. Soooo, happy reading:

Ref: Forbes

I read this “17 Things To Accomplish Before You’re 30” article earlier this year and thought to myself “is that really it?” Are those really the experiences I would stand behind as the accomplishments of my 20s?

So, in the name of August birthdays, I reached out to some of my favourite friends, role models, business owners, and pre-1986’ers to see what their take on the question “what would you advise others to ‘accomplish’ by the time they are 30.”

This was the list we created:

The Golden Duck

From Benny:

 As a late bloomer in life, I got to experience pleasures late in life. While I was enjoying the pleasures of toys  and action figures, my mates were already on cartoons, while I was watching cartoons, they were already inclined with sports. As such it was no surprise to me that I didn't have any idea about the whole dating experience when they were already veterans in it.

However, my first experience with affections for the opposite sex was in Js 3 when I became... "aware" about this particular girl; I was literally obsessed with Rachael. She was a family friend who attended the same church I did. After the whole junior WAEC exams, we were given 5 months break of some sort to stay at home and await results.
