Surviving the scorching days

Surviving the scorching days
It’s been so hot lately, and the heat has been unbearable. To make matters worse, my fan is currently undergoing repairs, leaving me with no other choice but to sleep shirtless to avoid the discomfort. The nights have been a struggle, and I find myself wishing for any form of relief from this heatwave.

Even at the barbershop yesterday, the weather’s intensity was obvious. The barber, despite having a big OX fan circling him every few seconds, was shirtless, trying to stay cool. It made me realize that everyone is battling this heat in their own way.

Thankfully, nature finally showed some mercy when it rained in the evening. The cool breeze and the soothing petrichor that filled the air were a blessing. I decided to take an evening walk to enjoy the refreshing change, letting the coolness seep into my skin and clear my head.

To end the day on a good note, I stopped by a shop to grab some sour candies and a chilled soft drink. With my small treat in hand, I headed back to my residence, grateful for the brief break from the relentless heat.

Musashi turning point

Musashi turning point
Miyamoto Musashi is one of Japan's most famous swordsmen, known for his incredible skills and undefeated record in over 60 duels. He lived from 1584 to 1645 and became legendary for his unique fighting style called Niten Ichi-ryū, where he used two swords at the same time—a long sword and a short sword. Musashi believed in using strategy and adaptability to outsmart his opponents, and this made him a feared and respected fighter.

One of Musashi's most famous fights was against another great swordsman named Sasaki Kojirō in 1612. Kojirō was known for his powerful long sword (called a nodachi) and his special move called the Swallow Cut, which was so fast and precise it was said to mimic a bird in flight. The duel was held on a small island called Ganryū-jima.

Musashi played mind games before the fight even began. He arrived hours late, which made Kojirō angry and impatient. This was part of Musashi’s strategy to throw Kojirō off his game. On his way to the duel, Musashi carved a wooden sword from a boat oar instead of bringing a steel blade. This showed how confident and skilled he was, as he didn’t even need a real sword to win.

When the fight began, Musashi used the environment to his advantage. He positioned himself so that the rising sun shone directly into Kojirō’s eyes, making it harder for him to see. Kojirō attacked first, trying to use his famous Swallow Cut, but Musashi dodged it perfectly. He then struck Kojirō on the head with his wooden sword, killing him instantly. The fight was over in moments, and Musashi walked away victorious.

This duel showed how Musashi’s intelligence, strategy, and skill were just as important as his physical strength. He went on to live a long life, writing books like The Book of Five Rings, which is still studied today for its lessons on strategy and focus. His fight with Kojirō is a powerful story about how preparation, timing, and thinking ahead can help you win, even against tough opponents.

Internal struggles

Internal struggles
I had practiced my seminar over and over again, going through every point in my head. Yet, as the moment drew closer, I couldn’t shake off the feeling of being unprepared. My heart was racing, and I started doubting myself. To calm down, I tried one of my favorite tricks – turning that fear into a source of confidence. I told myself, "If I can feel this nervous, it means I care enough to do my best."

As I sat outside the seminar room, waiting for my turn, a lecturer opened the door slightly. From where I was, I could see Patrick standing confidently, arms crossed, answering questions from the panel. I watched closely, and instead of feeling more nervous, I felt relief. He was almost done, which meant my wait was nearly over too. The thought of finally getting it over with eased my tension.

When Patrick stepped out, he gave me a reassuring dap and said, "You’ve got this!" That simple gesture boosted my confidence even more. I stood up, took a deep breath, and walked into the room. My nerves were still there, but they didn’t overwhelm me. I focused on everything I had practiced and spoke clearly, answering their questions as best as I could.

To my surprise, the seminar turned out to be a huge success. The panelists were engaged, nodding in agreement, and their questions felt manageable. By the time I walked out of that room, I couldn’t believe how well it went. What I thought would be terrifying ended up being one of my proudest moments. Fear had tried to hold me back, but in the end, it fueled my success.

Out for what matters

Out for what matters
For the past two weeks, the Harmattan season has been harsh, with its dry and dusty air making me prefer staying indoors. Since I traveled, I’ve barely stepped outside the compound. The weather makes it difficult to even think about going out, but today I have no choice. There are important things I need to buy before school resumes and academic activities kick off in full.

I already expected prices to be higher than last year, so I wasn’t shocked by the inflation. I had prepared my mind and my budget, which made the shopping trip less stressful. The real challenge, however, was finding a store that was open. Most shops were locked, and my brother and I had to walk a little farther than usual to find one.

Eventually, we found a small store that had everything we needed. We quickly grabbed the necessary items and wrapped up our shopping in about 20 minutes. On our way back, we greeted neighbors and exchanged cheerful “Happy New Year” wishes. The walk back felt much shorter as the streets were lively, and the festive spirit was still in the air.

Now that I’m back home, I’m thinking of frying some of the fish I bought for lunch. Breakfast time is long gone, and I’m starting to feel hungry. A plate of fried fish might just be the perfect way to reward myself after braving the Harmattan and completing my errands.

This is why sexual health education is important. Many people might not even realize they have gonorrhea. Pregnant women need to take this seriously for their baby’s health and their own
