Holidays are fun and I look forward to them as well because of the unforgettable memories that it creates. During holidays, I get to explore places that I've never been to, try out new things that I've longed loved to try and most importantly, I bond with family and friends too.
Holidays come with it's vibes.. Sometimes bad vibes that we can never even wish for anyone to experience and sometimes good vibes that can never be forgotten in a hurry which makes us to always look forward to having such a fun moment as soon as we can鈽猴笍
I've had quite a lot of good holidays but I'll be talking about this particular one because the memories are still fresh.
This happened during the last Christmas holiday.. It was such an emotional and unforgettable moment for me because I bonded with my long time college friends whom it's been a long time we last saw馃ズ
We were a clique of six beautiful and intelligent girls back then in college and some classmates even envied our relationship because we were always together reading, gisting and also ate together during dining activities.. We were so fond of ourselves!
So ever since we graduated from college, that was 2013 we have not come across each other or even set eyes on each other.. It's been online communication with them but no matter how strong the communication was with them online, I longed for a physical hangout with them.. And for sure we knew that a physical hangout was not going to be possible due to distance except if one of us was getting married.. We vowed never to miss anybody's big day event for any reason
So luckily for us, our friend got hitched with the love of her life last Christmas and it was a good avenue for us to reunite again.. It was a very emotional moment reuniting again after eight years.. Well, we celebrated our friend's bridal shower with her.. It was so much fun!
The girls still had their mad and funny behaviors.. just like college days 馃槀
The day of the wedding came and we celebrated with our friend.. And after the wedding, a hangout was planned by our friend's husband for the girls for a whole day.. More like a girl's hangout thingg馃コ
We merried the whole day.. And we also talked a lot about college days. This was the very day I swam in a swimming pool for the first time馃槄
As much as I wouldn't want to try swimming again because of how afraid I was, I enjoyed every bit of it鈽猴笍
During this period, I took note of this.. Friendship is a beautiful thing especially when you have the right friends around you.. Having a nice time with friends should never be underestimated and spending time with them should be something that should always be looked forward to. I look forward to such fun with holiday with my friends again.. It was such a good vibes with them soon! I miss seeing such an unforgettable moment in pictures.. Cus I lost them when I lost my phone馃槱
And as for my worst holiday, I've had one only all my life.. It was during one of my college mid-term holidays when I was diagnosed with mumps馃槱
It was such a painful moment for me. I had everything planned out with mum as to how I was going to spend the holiday feasting on the whole meat in her kitchen.. As a boarding school student, I never enjoyed that luxury of eating meats.. We were subjected to eating only fish馃槄
So eating lots and lots of chicken and beef was actually the goal during that holiday.. A day before we vacated the school for our holiday, I started feeling this sharp pain on my jaw line, I took it as a normal thing but unfortunately for me, it was a serious case. If you've come across someone with mumps before you'll agree with me that it makes someone's jaw and cheek area big.. It comes with a whole lot of pains and the person affected can barely chew with the teeth馃槱 This was the case for me.
I couldn't chew anything solid... Even my meat plans were put on hold till we resumed in school. I had only liquid meals for the whole one week.. Tea and soaked bread. It was a bad experience for me and I was so pained watching others in the house enjoy their meat and solid food with ease while I had to deal with my pains and liquid meals 馃槓
But in all I was thankful to God for life still despite the bad vibes from my ailment.
The moral lesson I got from this ugly experience is.. Do not be so bittered when what you plan for didn't come as expected.. Be thankful for life even in bad times!
