I am feeling a rush of emotions typing right now as I have not gone to the draft section of this blog since 5 years back, that is freaking nuts! My life has changed tremendously in 5 years as I am sure yours has too, we thank God that we are all alive and it's been a wonderful change.
I was going to do a comparison of what I looked like exactly 5 years ago, June 2015 and what I looked like today. After seeing the pictures of myself in 2015 that I found, I had a quick rethink, lol. I had forgotten I just had a baby this period in 2015, I looked like an avocado, omg! I would have had to post a picture of what I looked like 8 days after undergoing a second caesarian section which I am going to write about so that those who may go through the same would have some form of insight on recovery and moving on. Not today, I am not traumatizing anyone. I believe in displaying ourselves with all flaws all the time but for the sake of the revival of this blog, we will stick to aesthetics.

Anyways, the world is still at a semi-standstill today the 29th of June 2020, due to the pandemic of corona virus which has killed so many people all over the world. It is a really really sad time in history and most countries have closed down air travel which is a pain but safety first. Everyone is affected by this virus and this situation is so precarious because anyone is no one, the corona virus is such a humbler of persons, it has killed the powerful, powerless, influential, popular, healthy, you name it.
Obviously, the virus is part of the reason I remembered this blog today because my industry is part of those affected by the virus as it has been shut down to prevent the spread, which I fully support. I have a lot of time on my hands these days and since I still have the gift of typing very fast without glancing at my keyboard, it was time to check out my blog and see if I would still get thousands of visitors like I used to (crosses fingers gleefully). Tell a friend to tell a friend and their friends that there is going to be valuable content right here!
Checked out some posts in my draft that never made it to the main page of this blog and I am shocked at how much my outlook on life has evolved but also to be honest, how I feel like a sell-out now. I had this draft where I was criticizing life on Instagram, the show-off social network and realized that I have been carried away by the craze (where is my laughing and covering my face emoji?) Found it 🙈😅
I am now hugely on Instagram, moved on from Facebook as most of my content there is a copy of my Instagram posts. As for twitter, I have no idea what goes on there, I just go once in a while to pour out my thoughts (euphemism for frustration) then I log out because someone is always dropping in my DM and trying to get me into trouble, T for Twitter, T for temptations.

As for the main content on this blog in this corona period 2020, it would be more of a commentary, my experiences and sharing of thoughts about things happening around us as well as sharing ideas on self-development which I believe is the essence of life.
To catch up, let me share developments in my life so far from the last time I made a peep into this blog. Better yet, I will re-introduce myself because of new visitors and post a most recent picture too for spice. (I just looked for emoji for shinning my teeth again, ugh, social media alphabets) 😁
Okay! My name is Modupe Onanuga-Longe, I am a mum of two now, still married, I believe happily so. I spend most of my time taking care of the children as I am almost a stay at home mom these days due to the annoying virus but I am still very much active. I have developed this intense love for cooking (I will be sharing recipes and chef secrets) and I love eating those foods that I cook on days we do not order out. I keep myself busy mostly by ensuring that my families are safe during this dire period and also making sure we do not lose hope for a better brighter future ahead as it is very easy to become despondent, trust me, I almost had a bout of depression during the abysmal lockdown. I also decided to bag more qualifications, I have a Masters now, a CIM UK (Chartered Marketer) and was able to acquire a GPA of 4.33 in my Masters after several sleepless nights, whew!. I love praying because everything in this life is founded on prayers and a vibrant relationship with God our creator, I start and end everyday showing immense gratitude to God.

Weekends are always the best for me because my husband is home with me and all we do is watch series as we sit on the couch stuffing our faces. I am also a fitness enthusiast, I love looking good, working out and watching how my body changes with decisions or choices that I make. I wish I could read more books the way I used to, novels used to be my companion and vocabulary builder back in the days but I cant say I have seen a book in recent times as our smartphones have taken over. I am not so good at speaking about myself unless questions are asked so I will stop here.

Let me know if you have any question, still an open book. So here is a picture of me taken this month, flaws and all. Hope to hear from every single one of you that still get an email alert from my posts. Trust me, this is going to be fun.
