The Labour Room

Once upon a time I wanted to be a doctor but after a while I realized I loved writing better.

I enjoy watching thriller and horror movies and only recently found a horror movie that I could finally admit was the scariest I've seen this year (Insidious) but these movies never got to me because I knew they were not real life.

Here comes the reality

I won't consider this to be an experience fit for a horror movie but the fact that it was real made it scary.
Just seeing the instruments displayed on the table chilled my spine and they hadn't even started anything... they weren't even going to use them!

 watching someone dear to me in pain really scared me, I felt like the abdominal aches were transferred to mine and I started contracting, coupled with the thought that that might be me one day and all of a sudden even looking at the doctors gave me the prickly feeling that  I might not last the night. It became worse when I had to put on an encouraging smile so that I didn't freak out the mother to be and even that was a very hard task. I am sure she wondered  what the twisted frightened smiley  face was about but I hope it was comforting ( well, sort of)


I thought I would reach the climax of my fear when she was wheeled to the theatre so I opted out of being there and cuddled at a corner saying series of prayers and texting my feelings to some. when all was done and she was returned I was anxious and filled with worry but once I beheld that beautiful face I knew everything was okay and my fear vanished like it was never there.

I went into a labor room and experienced pain second hand (if I should call it pain at all) so I wonder how much pain she must have felt, however what struck me was how fast all that pain vanishes once you behold that beautiful creature; the smooth delicate skin, pearly eyes and tender feet not to mention the innocence that gives a gentle glow. A baby is truly a gift from God.

While I witnessed the early stages of labor  I was definitely sure I chose the right field and also developed wavering views about marriage and children but when I saw the baby I totally understood why women still decide to bear all that pain!

So I say CONGRATULATIONS to all new mothers, its not an easy task but it shows much more, not only the immense strength of a woman but also how one baby can take away all the pain you've ever felt. The reward truly overshadows  the suffering.

London from my Perspective

Apart from Johnny Depp being my favorite actor, I love musicals and London is a very good place to see the best shows in the world!

Here is London from my perspective.

• One can find history  in almost every building and these are preserved with greatest respect. The museums are very interesting and  must be visited! each museum tells a story worth knowing and sometimes it feels like 100 or 200 years past brought back to life!
• In my opinion, the average Englishman is quite broadminded and knows a bit of everything (the ones I've met at least). Some are also well cultured, they read widely, know how to play at least one musical instrument, one type of sport or speak at least a foreign language! I think this is a very good thing for us to try to emulate. Human beings are capable of doing so many things!  I heard a while ago that the genius Einstein probably used only about 10 percent of his brain! if that's true then I dread to think how much we've wasted our potentials!
• Although the dominance of Science and technology have caused many to lose faith in God, the very few who are still faithful worship straight from the heart and this is one major thing I have noticed. Although very few people go to church, the glow on the face of the 10 or a little more who go is one of struggle as a result of love, they practice true Christianity and one can be silently and sweetly drawn to God by their Christlike attributes, it makes one see that it is not the numbers in church that matter but the number of lives that are changed for the better

So although many might have been in and out of London a couple of times, there are still many interesting places and things to discover. I think that although its fun to go to Madame Tussuad's, The London Eye and Dorothy Perkins one could discover much more.

P.S: the first song in the video is kind of what I wanted but I'm no good at video editing lol!
