Its being a great year,wonderful beautfully great year God has been Good to Me.A lot has being learnt, alot has being acheived.I am Happy. It seems I am well on my way to Personal and Financial freedom.&lt;br&gt;
Never felt better.&lt;br&gt;
I graduated top of my Class with an Msc in Distributed Systems(Software Enginering).The graduation was in November Mum and Dad were around to for the ceremony.&lt;br&gt;
You should have seen them They were so proud so ,soooo Happy.&lt;br&gt;
My Dad Kept telling everyone He was my Dad,My mum just beside herself.I dont think i have ever seen her smile so broadly.&lt;br&gt;
My Final year project was a big hit(A money maker apparently).I am  being offered an obscene out of money for licensing rights.&lt;img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Uni year has being a blast,Many great friends,Friendship that i hope will last always.&lt;br&gt;
Oh before i forget my summer placement went really well .&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Its a great multinational innovative technology and they want me back with desperation.&lt;br&gt;
I jump up and down my bed everytime i think of how much they are offering me yearly.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Emefa was here for the summer we went back home together.I didnt realised how much i missed it till I arrived at the airport.&lt;br&gt;
Its the greatest country in the world.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Winnie and Gifty are getting married soon so will have to go back home for the weddings.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I am sooo grateful to God for this year.It didnt start out right.I have made mistakes i realise well...Its all a learning process but i made it .Its everything I wanted and more&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br&gt;
When it comes to romance, you tend to take a realistic approach.&lt;br&gt;
You believe that love takes time, and it's something you have to work hard for.&lt;br&gt;
A bit cynical, over the top romance tends to get under your skin.&lt;br&gt;
Your heart is difficult to win ... but it's totally worth it.&lt;br&gt;

	&lt;p class="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Virginity&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;But there is more to it than mere escape. There is an undeniable appeal in virginity, something that eludes the resentful feminist’s contemptuous label of “prude.” &lt;strong&gt;A virgin woman is an unattainable object of desire&lt;/strong&gt;, and it is precisely her unattainability that increases her desirability. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;Feminism has told a lie in defense of its own promiscuity, namely, that there is no sexual power to be found in virginity. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;On the contrary, virgin sexuality has extraordinary and unusual power.&lt;br&gt;
There’s no second-guessing a virgin’s motives: her strength comes from a source beyond her transitory whims.&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;It is sexuality dedicated to hope, to the future, to marital love, to children and to God. Her virginity is, at the same time, a statement of her mature independence from men. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;It allows a woman to become a whole person in her own right, without needing a man either to revolt against or to complete what she lacks. &lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;It is very simple, really: no matter how wonderful, charming, handsome, intelligent, thoughtful, rich or persuasive he is, he simply cannot have her. &lt;strong&gt;A virgin is perfectly unpossessable.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
	&lt;p&gt;I sincerely hope that virginity will not be a lifetime project for me. Quite the contrary, my subversive commitment to virginity serves as preparation for another commitment, for loving one man completely and exclusively.

I needs to have a focus working towards a goal most times or else it just doesnt work.&lt;br&gt;
Anyways I had a lovely christmas I spent it with a family.There were soo nice they went out of their way to make me feel at home.Different personalities in one home i love it, it was really interesting.&lt;br&gt;
 i really didnt miss home that much untill new years night when it begun to  feel like secondary school all over again.But this i will be grateful for: a friend called exactly when i needed someone to talk to ,&lt;br&gt;

The great thing its over school starts soon and i will be too busy and thats the way i like it.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;strong&gt;oh and i forgot it is a new year isnt it &lt;/strong&gt;.I dont have any resolutions,I havent done any soul searching,havent reflected on the past year nor have I laid out plans for the year.I dont think i will,I feel am in a transititonal place instead of a new start so will just leave things as they are.&lt;br&gt;
But this I want for the new year not to feel like i am in transition but to feel more in control and more focussed and God willing my dreams on course,no diversions no loss of focus.I think I am much happier that way.&lt;br&gt;
All said and done I am where I supposed to be at the right time so come to think of it I am on course&lt;br&gt;
