Manny's Thoughts on Everything

2020. A Mystery Shrouded Year Holla my loves. It’s so good to be back y’all, I have missed my dear readers. First off, I know an apology is due; I am so sorry that I left everyone hanging for a year. I am so sorry, my lazy ass has gotten up and said “MATOE MUST COME BACK!”. My name is Emmanuella and I’m a youth who loves to muse and take others along with her on the journey. It has been so long. A lot has changed and happened, for everyone too I’m sure. It‘s a new year and you all are working on your resolutions and goals, I hope because January is almost over. Wink. As I mentioned already, we’re in the long-awaited year 2020 which in the Jewish calendar is the year 5780 ; a year of new                   beginnings. It’s a new decade, a new season in the history of the world. It’s a special year for me, I’m not going to tell you why though…hahaha. This year is avant-grande, not an anomaly as Internet believes. Many people don’t believe that the year is prophetic but t

VALENTINE IS HERE! Hi guys, Manny here wanting to talk about Valenti nes day! I can see the posts, the memes, the statuses already.  Some people are like this... Like me... Haha, classic. But, before I go into anything, I wanted to state the actual story of Valentines day. It all began with a man named Valentine...(Snore!) ... OOPS! I'm awake! So, actually no one really cares about that guy anymore but now Valentine is all about LOVE! Or so they say, I think it means different things to different people. To some, it is chocolate, and to others wine and dinner at a fancy restaurant but for some others it goes a little bit like this ... Yass! As I said, it means different things to different people. I might live under a rock but I think it''s not just me noticing when I say that Nigerians are not really focused on this Valentines day because it is being overshadowed by our coming Elections. Well, isn't it sucky timing? Don't say I said

BUSTED!!! TOO MANY MOVIES!   Last year was something else guys, there was a big event almost every month that made us laugh and cry. But the ones that really got everyone moving were the movies. Movie after movie, it was like the Domino effect, all tripping our brains (if that makes any sense). There was even a list, let me state a few that I can remember and you tick off the ones you have watched; Black Panther (Wakanda Forever!) Avengers: Infinity War ( BAM!) Incredibles 2  Deadpool 2 Aquaman (Hottie... wink) Grinch Star Wars: A Star Wars Story  Venom A Quiet Place Oceans Eight (RIRI) The Meg  Bumblebee Braven Spider Man: Into the Spider Verse Ant Man and the Wasp Uncle Drew Crazy Rich Asians Game Night Quiet Place The Commuter A Star is Born   And so on, I cannot state them all, but these seem to be among the most popular and talked about even till this year. The Nigerian cinemas must have made a lot of money of us last year and are about to make even more. You m

HAVE NO FEAR, MANNY'S HERE!         HI Guys,  my name is Manny (Full name is Emmanuella. NO. I'm not related to Mark Angel) and I am a teenager (not a small one though.. Haha). I  write about anything that I wish to share my thought, experience, musings..     So, the whole of last year was full of so many events that stressed me out. I handled it as best as I could but God helped me through it. I did a lot of things I never knew I could do like stand on a stage and act (stage-fright), dance in front of people, eat some food combinations that formerly disgusted me but Hey! It all turned out well.  I'm still learning, falling but rising and moving. Is it just me or does anyone feel the shaking around us? Only few people might understand the 'shaking'.  As we all know, ASUU in Nigeria is still on strike. Ladies underwear are still being stolen and used for money rituals, kidnappings are still on, elections are near, our Vice President almost died, someone has been cut

STRESS AS A YOUNG ADULT            Hi guys, it's Manny again. Who else finds it hard to stop procrastinating? That's my first question to you guys because I suck. But still, I've been busy with school and stuff but had a topic I wanted to talk about for a while which just happens to be something I've been struggling with since I resumed school and that is STRESS. So, it's very very easy to say I'm not the only one who's stressed out right now, there are thousands or maybe even millions of us teens who are stressed out on a daily basis by different situations like school, family, money, friends and so many other reasons. We need to know how to spot stress and handle it like a pro so we can be productive and healthy.        So first of all, what is Stress ? Apart from the fact that you feel tired and achy all the time and other stuffs like that, do you actually know what stress can do to your health both mental and emotional and physical? Probably no

A Heart's Cry  Hi, guys. I finally got my lazy ass up and came back to my blog. I can't believe I didn't write for like 6-7 months. I suck. I know. I actually lost my blog months ago because of a problem I encountered, so I got to work opening another one but I stopped because... Drumroll... I got into college and was super busy with classes and walking around and having fun.  And the fact that I was having issues with my computer which got bad, luckily  before my exams started, so I was able to focus on studying for a while till I got home and got another one. I thought I'd lost Manny's Thoughts on Everything forever but I got it back. I have somethings to say and some people will take a look at the length of this post and run but I urge you to read on. It's important.   So, college. It's a bit different than I built it up to be in my head, but the first thing that hit me was the word and air of Freedom. It was so relieving as a teenager to be on your o
