Yesterday; A day filled with a fairly inspiring sequence of events.

I saw this interesting prompt where folks are urged to talk about "Yesterday" and highlight the noteworthy stuff that happened yesterday. Lol. Yesterday as y'all know was Sunday and I'm ready to share how I spent mine.

The proper way to spend my Sunday is usually by kickstarting it with a couple of activities edged toward spirituality. Over here in Nigeria, the first half of our Sundays are usually event-packed with a lot of spiritual exercises. You can already imagine how the first few hours of my day were spent. It was spent calmly and with a lot of meditation.

When all that was done, I decided to do a couple of random reading across several websites. I enjoy doing that and also vetting the facts about things I'm reading. You would be surprised that I'm also very cautious when digging into blog posts, New articles, and other stuff. Yesterday, in particular, I tried to not open a tab on any News concerning my Country.

"Why? Why would I avoid news about Nigeria?"

It's a no-brainer, isn't it? The News we get is usually about corrupt practices, cruel killings, siphoning of public funds, etc. In recent weeks, the trend has also been about the recurring attacks that crypto enthusiasts are getting in Nigeria. Even when I went to Twitter yesterday, "Binance P2P" was trending on my page. I already know what to expect and it's nothing inspiring. And, I wasn't interested in anything that would give me a sour taste on a Sunday. That's exactly why I avoided updates regarding Nigeria.

After reading a couple of stuff across several platforms, I dived into work and started collating data for an announcement post I usually draft for a project. I wrapped that up quickly, but I noticed that Hive-engine and keychain were having an off-day. I like to send out winnings about any contest/challenge I'm overseeing before publishing a post. However, because of the issue with Hive engine, I left the post on draft and got into other stuff.

After doing a fair share of work-related stuff, I got into my watchlist to watch additional episodes of an intense historical Kdrama that I've been watching since days ago. The show has 50 episodes and I'm enjoying the ride. Everything about it is superb; the action, politics, portrayal of relevant historical elements, and even the character development. I mean, this Kdrama is wholesome and I'm enjoying every bit of it.

While watching the Kdrama, I ate well-garnished spaghetti and Macaroni. I always watch something whenever I'm eating. Haha. It doesn't even matter if it's at the top of the morning or in the middle of the night... It's very rare to see me eating without watching a TV show or watching a podcast on YouTube. Interestingly, I also set my alarm for the most anticipated event of yesterday, the football game between Liverpool and Manchester City.

To be fair, I'm always head over heels at the coming of any football fixture for Liverpool. It doesn't even matter if we are up against a bunch of kindergarten kiddos. Haha. Yesterday's game was termed "the title decider" and other buzzwords were used to highlight the level of footballing rivalry that exists between Liverpool and Manchester City.

You know what? I was already preparing for this fixture two weeks ago. When the time finally came, you could bet all you have that nothing was going to stop me from enjoying that intense game. I already wrote a full match review about that. Have a look to get a raw taste of what I felt while watching this game.

Remember the post I couldn't publish because of Hive engine issue? I finally got through Hive engine by 2am (this morning). I did the transactions, got screenshots and the post is already up. Not on my page though.

Thanks For Not Missing Any Full-stop or Comma.

I also love to put something in my mouth while watching movies too, our government has turned its back on Binance we just have to find another way to deal with this.

True. The Binance issue has become a recurring one and there is no way of it knowing when things will be back to normal. Our best bet right now is to explore other options and also be sure we are security conscious when doing deals.

I also avoid all kinds of news because of the negative stuff that’s always happening. There’s so much crime and evil in the world and I just can’t stand knowing about it

 2 months ago  

True. A lot is happening all-over the world. That's the sad existential crisis we all face at the moment. I just choose not to feed myself with those info, especially on a Sunday. Haha

I was thinking I'm the only one that doesn't read Nigerian news 😂 at first I think I'm a bad person, but come to think of it. Nothing good as ever come from Nigerian news before. If you are not careful Nigerian new will give you heart attack.

Bro... Nigerian News will only make you pissed about the shameless things happening in this Country. It's so weird that no goodness comes out of this weird Country. Haha.

I don't want the headache, especially on a Sunday

You are not alone when it comes to deliberately avoiding Nigerian news updates,hahaha! Nothing exciting to look forward to.

But you really enjoyed yourself with well-garnished pasta while watching Kdrama. Great way to spend your "yesterday"!

I know one thing, that we are in control of how we want the day to be like for us, just like you tried not to watch any news regarding Nigeria as it could spoil your mood on Sunday. Hehehe. I guess I don't know how to concentrate when eating and trying to watch any movie because I love to put all my mind without any disturbances when watching movie because I don't want to miss any single detail or scene. Hehehe so, I rather finish my food and put all focus on the movie. I believe you had a wonderful Sunday in the end.

You are very correct oooo. This Nigerian drama is too much and the negativity has become the existential crisis we have to deal with. However, we still have to be very careful of the sort of news we expose ourselves to. Haha.

I pay very special attention to that. I just don't want to be exposed to that unhealthy drama.

The excitement for the Liverpool and Manchester City game definitely added a thrilling end to your day. Looking forward to hearing more about your adventures @kenechukwu97
