Welcome to my blog

So what is this whole fuss about weight? Where from the notion in Africa, especially in Ghana, that all skinny people probably have problems or have bad eating habits and why do people believe that others become fat or gain weight when they have no worries? hmm! Of course some people lose weight due to broken hearts or bad eating habits and some get pot bellies once they start to make some money. But, it does not cut across. Does it? It gets frustrating sometimes when people see ‘skinny’ people and ask all sorts of questions like are you okay? Do you eat at all? Is anyone bothering you? I mean it’s sometimes annoying! And oh, the questions about flat tummies: Where is your stomach? Really, do people actually expect size six ladies to have pot bellies? hahahah. Beatrice Abena Adu, an Anchorwoman at Joy FM is strikingly slim. She is a proud size six and her deft flare for style makes her turn heads all the time. Her level of fluency and command over the E...

Yes I’m the newbie at Myjoyonline.com. I joined the team this month. Trust me, there is a lot to learn. You have to get better or die trying. After finishing my national service with Adom FM, I was extremely lucky to be considered by Myjoyonline.com. I must confess, it’s a blessing to be able to work in two media units under 2 years at the Multimedia Group Limited. Count your blessings one by one they say. So that’s what you are going to read in this article: counting my blessings starting with 12 months at Adom FM. I miss the Editorial meetings led by Afia Pokua (Vim Lady) and the affable Samuel Dowuona. The discussions here can be intense and rigorous and riddled with laughter too. Colleagues there were always ready to assist me with everything at every time. After the many depressing tales from friends doing their National Service in the public sector, my great hope was to be useful in a private sector organisation. You don’t want your employment to need the appro...

Have you ever thought of where broken hearts go? I have been to so many places hoping to easily get over the untimely end of my marriage. Like I said in the article about my divorce ‘Inside Asiedua’s chest -My divorce a day after my wedding’, I started running after I found out but I did not know where I was going to. I divorced my husband a day after my wedding. My ex-husband had an affair with his ex on the eve of our wedding. I found out on our wedding night. It was a very difficult time for me; I was so confused and did not know where to go. One thing that made me feel better after the divorce was writing the story for others to read on myjoyonline.com. Many people offered to help me. It helped me but it was just for a while. In the second part of my story,’ Inside Asiedua’s chest- My divorce a day after my wedding Pt. 2’, I wrote about the trauma. My whole life was centered on my relationship with Jo. My dream, my whole life was halted because I had to take about a...

Although I loved Jo so much, I had to let him go. He was the man I was going to live with for the rest of my life and I couldn’t live doubting him forever. Honestly, trusting him again was going to be very difficult. I do not regret divorcing him. Maybe what happened was bound to happen for them to find their ways back to each other. The post-divorce trauma was not easy to get over. My life was halted for about a year because of what happened. The 24/7 attention the family gave me was just unbearable; they monitored my every move as they feared I could hurt myself. I wanted to get away from everything to heal completely. I went to spend some time with my auntie and her family in London. I hated to hear Joojo’s name and anything that had to do with him or marriage. Why me? A day never passed without me asking myself this question. It was just too hard to forget everything like that and move on. I barely spoke to anyone in my auntie’s house. A psychologist was hired but I refuse...

Life is a simple step. I know you all can attest to the fact that when a man finds a beautiful woman, and I mean a BEAUTIFUL woman walking gracefully and exuding a confident serenity with tenderness of a calf and innocence of a primary school girl, the temptation is to hold your breath and walk up to her. That was exactly what I did. That was how I met Asiedua. A very pretty young lady with all the trappings of a cosmopolitan, enlightened lady and promises to love a man for who he is, twisting her small waist and lighting up the studio with those smiles, she was the perfect choice for me. Her dressing, oh God, she dressed to kill. Her tantalizingly provocative boobs caught the eye of everyone; her lips brightened with red lipstick and those big eyes laid in the socket humbly and peacefully. Yes, in the beginning, she showed the signs of a true lover, she would call me several times in a day just to say, “Hi baby, was wondering how your voice sounds li...

Yes I am seeking divorce already! We met about a year ago at a friend’s birthday party. We started off by exchanging numbers then became friends few weeks after we met. On a dinner date one cozy night, Joojo Bentil asked me to be his wife. I laughed very loud. Then I said to him, “But you barely know even my name, and I do not know if your name is what you say it is.” “I see in you all the qualities of the perfect wife I have been praying to meet,” he said with conviction and an obviously lump in his throat. He swallowed hard. I smiled. Then he asked “will you be in a relationship with me, please”? This time, I didn’t think twice, I just said yes. You know why? I had waited too long for that. You have no idea the things I imagined when he refused to let go of my hands after the introduction. Do you remember the things you did in the first two months of your relationship? Ours was awesome; we spent so much time together and a talked on phone the little time we were not toget...
