Dragged Out Weekend

Ahh, Weekend always starts on thursday for me so I had a day ahead of everyone else but with that you will think I will do work right. Nope! infact I did not one thing related to school work... it sucksss! and the weather did not help matters (raining, draggy looong weekend I tell you) and on top of that I was not feeling good at all.. cramp is a biatchhh! So now I'm seating here regretting not doing nothing, as I now realize I have 3 quizzes on thursday, homeworks dat are due, organization sturves, uhhh plenty things sha on top of little me :( it's depressing just remembering it sef.Mehn I haven't partied in awhile and I was looking forward to the Indy parade and party this past weekend, but didn't go all thanks to the rain, so I'm hitching even more for a parry... and no thank you to house parties and clubs.

Ah on to other things, a lot of ppl's bday (mommy and friend) wish them long life and more blessings. I need to go home and visit the fams, and eat real good food: especially since they insist on rubbing it in everytime I call home, talking about oooh we're eating this and that *rolleyes*.

Nigeria is gonna be 48years old... damn we're getting there oo, may the good Lord continue to bless his country and its people! Forward ever, backward never. God will appoint only the right ppl to lead us to becoming an awesome country... AMEN! Have fun on wednesday y'all, wear ur green and white. God bless NIGERIA and all NIGERIANS around the world. Be safe and have a wonderful week.

Update Update Update

*pardon any tiaun, daggers, spears, and bombs I might have planted in this post... take cover and forgive me if I cause you alot of damages*

Okay I got emails from my lovely ladies about updating... u guys, this is for you babes :) Sorry I've been MIA forever. My initial thoughts were I will be able to chit and chat with my very own people of blogville after summer classes ended, but apparently I didn't get the memo that it wasn't gonna work out that way. Especially that school started again with 18 credits, it hard to have a life or time to blog... but today folks I created the time. I told my books to just take it easy for a minute and I said "you things cannot frustrate me, talk less of killing me... it can't be done" Lol, just for you ... see I did not forget you at all, maybe I'll start doing like every weekend blog or maybe everyother week... hmm that's a thought.

Anyhoos, wat has been up, u ask?. Well school is back, I declared major 9i think i told y'all dat one), uhh... not much really. Oh! lemme tell you, the thing that happened to me last night. I came back on-campus from the weekend right, and looked for parking high and low and there was none... the only parking spaces available were very far and knowing me, I was not even gonna attempt. So i'm parading and then I saw this foolish girl, she took my spot sha... in the amount of sec/min b4 i knew it, she just drove into the space... I was HEATED!! ahhh i vexed. Can you believe after that spot was taken, usually you'll see ppl moving their cars but yesterday was not the case... can you believe I stood there in my car waiting for somebody to come out and move their car for almost an hour!! but I must admit my persistence and patience paid off as I got a sweet parking space, my friend thinks I'm a loser but I like to think otherwise.

So what is the moral of this story?? you might ask.. Well I say don't worry when someone takes what was meant for you and you think the F word and S word... and you start cussing, let me tell you it's not the end of the world. When one door closes, another opens with ease all that is needed of you is patience... it is true what they say about it being a virtue. I challenge you to be virtuous, have a blessed week.

I'm Blessed and So Are You

I'm sitting here listening to TruSpot. and "I Go Chop Your Dollar" Nkem Owoh is playing and I'm dancing and singing along lol, it's just a funny song can't believe ppl (americans) were taking this song to be serious sef.. geez lighten up, it's all in fun not for real nau. But watever jare.. make una sha be careful no fall for 419 trap.

Ahh yes oh I'm blessed and you shd feel the same way, Our God is an awesome one and he is the bestest father anyone can ask for, he's kept me thus far and continues to, I can't shout it enough but I know you get the gist, always remember he cares!

... *relief sigh* it is done with and over my ppl!! Classes are declared over.. phew* now I have the rest of the summer to myself we thank God for his mercies. I'm really looking forward to graduation and to the start of life afterward, I cannot wait to see what God has in store for me.

I was talking to my aunt sometime last week, we were just talking about life and stuff, then as if I knew wat was coming she mentioned marriage.. I laughed, she's so predictable. Why must every time graduation talk come, they go straight to asking "sooo wedding lo'kan yen" right after ah ahn. Lol, Nigerians parents and elders are funny sha. Me I don't feel it's that time yet to be concerned about stuff like that, there is soooo much to accomplish u knw. Oh and then she goes "eh well u can't go to school in ur husband's house?, or wat r u saying" lol she cracked me up. Well of course I know I can but there are some things that I will rather do b4 I have bigger responsibilities like marriage u know.. besides I have few yrs before all that, but really at what age shd u start thinking about settling down?? that is if there is one.

OMGeeeeeee... OMGeeee, Breath!

Lord Almighty!! how long have I been gone for?? My goodness, this is not even funny anymore ooh! You guys!!! :( I'm gonna cry oh, school is hella not cool anymore, yea I'm one to promote education, school and ish but gaddizzle it is not easy!

Anyhoos was'apning!! Been a whole while and I have missed (yes i know u don't have to tell me). Well summer class is over NXT WK!!! somebody shout hallelujah!! praise God. I'm super excited to get that 3wks break before Fall semester commences. Bunch of sturves have happened since the last entry, but one I can never forget is losing a friend to a homicide. Haven't talk to dude in awhile, then all of a sudden someone notified me out of nowhere that dude was stabbed to death cuz of a girl!! I couldn't comprehend the thing till the day after and it dawned on me, it was really sad. The story was everywhere, on the news.. and the wake was wow! didn't get the chance to go to the funeral tho.

But to more happier lighter stuff, I'm thinking about getting my second piercing for my ears but I'm hella scared I've been postponing it forever!lol. Aside from the pain it will cause, I'm also scared I will want it out soon as I get it done which will be absolute a waste cuz it'll close up right. Errr... still pondering.

That will be all for now folks, I will be back! and I mean that.

Pissy but Fun Weekend- I guess

OMG! to say I am tired will be too light of a word to describe how I'm feeling right now. I can't even use "exhausted" for it... Lord Almighty, I just wanna sleep and sleep!
This weekend was bananas! it was fun but def hectic! Weekend for me started Thurs actually, had an interview that i was late to cuz I got soo lost I didn't show up till 30mins later than my original set appt time. Def not a good look but hopefully she won't take that into consideration! And as much as I don't necessary want the position, I still want it to get experience.. you knw get my toes wet.

Thurs night thru Friday was the planning of my trip to NY for the NEA (Nigeria Entertainment Award). And needless to mention that the planning was not fun or exciting as it was in the beginning,I was pissing and annoyed by some people. The award show was fun, as in it was marvelous and I will recommend ppl to go, def next yr I will be there *God willing*. I have never been star stroked till I saw Olu Jacobs sitting nxt to us... dude is chilled and so humble. Great highlight of the night was Dekunle Fuji's performance, it was off the chain! Tosin Martin too did his thang..Jedi was there, Basorge was there, ramsey was there, Oluchi was there, Amplifyd, Eldee and NaijaDJs were there and so many others sha.

I planned on going to the after-party but all plans were destroyed! OMG I was upset!!! See, this is what happens when you have ppl who are such party-poopers around you... after the show they were just looking as if they were not having fun, like someone forced them to be there. Kai, that killed my spirit to the uttmost extent it could. I WAS FURIOUS I tell you, but sha lesson learned oh! Infact I'm reconsidering the reunion plans... I cannot have boring, fun-killing ppl at all! ehn.. no oh. Me personally love fun, esp when I have other ppl like myself around, but one mistake of having one of those party-pooping friends can make everything a miserable experience.

Sha the trip was aiight, coulda been alot better but I guess it turned out the way God intended it and I can't be mad jor about it. Oh and driving from NY without "haven't slept for 24hrs" was not cool esp if you don't have company. Another thing that was upsetting me this trip was that out of 4drivers, only two drove, one was awake with us when we were going, and the other one slept going AND coming back! how do u do dat? talking about she needs sleep..well excuse the eff outta me oh, nah only u sabi sleep. Mehn that has got to be one of my pet peeves! I hate when I'm driving and the people I'm driving with are sleeping... wat?!! It gets under my skin, and I need not mention how pissed I was driving from NY, I mean nobody was awake!

Sha I'm glad it's over! This week starts officially with assignments and stuff, one more week of school and I'm done! That reminds me, i still don't have a topic for my final paper for this foolish class *yikes!*

I plan on having a good week, for some reason i feel this week will be good! I pray it will be! As for you all, I hope you have a blessed one. Toodles

Help Me Understand

Ugh I'm like not understanding this at all... Classes are killing my enemies ooh!
I have papers due, and a final paper for online class, I have not even start on that and it's due next week!!... I have hw and quizzes for my other class, and time is running really fast. I am really not understanding.

And can somebody help me dissect, make me understand what is up with this guy. There is no doubt that there is an attraction there, but I mean. He is acting like he likes me but on the other hand he's not acting it too. When I'm starting to fall, thinking hmm okay maybe I can dig this... all of a sudden, I'm like okay so wth, dude! When we talk and wrap it feels right and like we're on the same page... but soon as we're apart, it's like I'm not even in existence (this can go on for days, until it dawns on him that oh yea Desiree exists, or when I'm like oook, let me see wat he's up to)... wth?! We're distant and then again we're not, or is it that I'm expecting way too much this early? I don't gerrit sha, somebody help me understand.

Ugh, Okay that's my rant for now... I've been mad busy sha! Have alot on my plate for the next 2 weeks. NRC thingie is around the corner and I'm not all set for transportation and all that. I have alot jare to speak on but imma just end it here for now. Oh b4 I forget!

CELTICS won 17th... oh sweet seventeen! Parade is tomorrow! Congrats to all Bostonians. I'm still trying to work that too into my plans... sha all in all. The game was ridiculous! I mean Kobe was shyty. MVP was MIAing for real, he was looking shocked and what not... Ahh and my baby was doing it! Paul and KG did their thang... I mean 39 lead! it was crazzyyyy, proud of them lots!

shout out to my boo... Ranjo Rondo **kisses** boo. ANyhooz tatah! till nxt time.

AHH- It Feels Good To Be Free.. or NOT!

Kai una don vex ehn? sowrrry! ...

So Spring 08 semester is over, done with and never ever to come back... we thank God, the end result was awesome! God is good :)
Summer courses however started today, I was getting use to the idea of vacation and then suddenly reality had to step in... oh well. So I registered for classes and then puff gone! as in they dropped me out of the classes I registered for. I'm still trying to get that fixed... "God please oh" but one class remained and I found out it was an online course? I'm hella confused. My first online class, I'm not exactly sure what to do... laziness is the grandfather of some ppl, why would there be anything called online teaching if not for laziness *hisses and roll my eyes*

Anyhoo... on to berra things, uh I'm not sure what else to say. Alot of stuff has and is happening, being the old pesin iyam I am quick to forget jo LOL. Oh, Friday there's a graduation I'm going to :) and from Saturday onward there are grad parties popping up... can somebody say FOOD! :D I'm excited... make I go arrange empty bowls for the occasions *plz don't judge me*. I'm living on-campus and in the same apt, only thing is I don't have a housemate yet. This Indian girl came in on Monday and said she was living there but I haven't seen her brakelights since... I hope for the sake of sanity I don't get a housemate, I can't live with people, people makes me sick.

Ugh I'm bored outta my mind, I feel like registering for more classes or something, infact I need a JOB!
Ooooh b4 I forget, I need suggestion for graduation present for a special friend lol... hmm lets just say I'm not the only one catching the crush bug bite :D but we'll see... in the meantime is $50 worth of something too small for grad present. I feel otherwise oh! Fiddy dollars is not small money oh, infact in this time of economic distress, if someone gave me that much I won't even complain I will gladly accept... infact too much shakara is worrying this guy. If him like no take the something oo *rolleyes*

Ahh the new videos from P-Square is the shiznnit thanks to TruSpot :) I loved No one lik you and Ifunaya the bestest!! I thot the roll it and more than a friend was very usherish... what do you think??

VISIT
P-Square

Hi guys, omg I've missed sha! sorry but I will be back soon as finals are overrr!

Alot has happened these past few weeks, but can't get into things right now.. uhh well update on "Dude" well he is history... uh after ignoring numerous calls from him, I guess he got the gist. I mean dude was already acting comfortable, like he knows me abeg i dont want that kind familiarity... and not keeping to his words was a BIG infact HUGE turnoff.

Lately I've been trying to surround myself with friends, keeping in touch with the ones that matters... these are the best times of my life and I will enjoy it laughing, travelling, hanging out, pissing each other off, eating together, and more laughing to the fullest! with them and the family of course :). So many plans for the summer it's not even funny, I'm excited and I hope all plans will be executed in due times with God's help and provision AMIN!

B4 I conclude this entry, ehmmm there's another dudeee! omg he's a friend and I'm in lust... buahaha :D lol, I'm not sure what to do, I feel like I'm in middle school. I think it's a phase that will pass IDK sha, we shall see...

Alrighty, this is Str8up reporting out of duty, back into the books and all dat. Goodluck on finals, deadlines and etc you guys have.

Pzzz

Too Many ish to Blog Aboutttt....

where do I start, well from not updating I'm guessing you can already tell that this week is absolutely busy as last week and really to tell you the truth I'm running out of energy as in I can't do this anymore. I just wanna skip all these crap and just have the money already and be HAPPY! now is that too much to ask for?? ugh! like why me, why should I be here and not one of Bill Gate's daughter :cry:

Ehn well such is life. First of all let me rant about this bloody effing liar, met this girl first year in college and really from the day we met she's lied about everything as in EVERTHING! wth... after 4 years of that bull, we stopped bothering sef, infact wat am I saying after like 2months of hearing all her BS we were DONE! as in finito! She lied about what work her mother does, what her father does, where she is from *confused* how da hell do u lie about where u from, she lied about her siblings, her major(s) *claims to be every major in the gaddam school*, her gpa *i dont even wanna go into that one sef* and soooo much other crap that we didn't even give a damn about... but courtesy abi wodeva shd command u to either keep the shit to urself or if u gon tell ppl then tell the effing truth. Her stories don't match up at all, and recently lying about how u hurt ursef *she claimed she was hurt from trying to get out for the fire alarm, came to find out there was no fire alarm in that building in the first place* WOTEV'S! gerraway ugh so annoying... I'm done with her jare, at this age still lying to please who exactly, this is effing america do nobody gives a flying ass about what u is or not... "america is a leveler" again wotev's!

First one I aced :D hehehe... now I gotta study for the 3rd exam for ACT that is going down this friday ... omg this man will not kill me or chase me outta this program at all! I will use "lebe" level him if i have to, can't hold me down oh prof!!

This weekend was wonderful, it was a long wkend and I enjoyed every bit of it... went to NY for the wkend with the girls *last min decision btw*, went pashmina shopping LOL, omg packed the whole damn store... well you can say I did some mother's day shopping yes?? I think so. When we got to NY, we had to wait for my other chica coming down from MD so we went into this sub/dunkindonut shop and sat there by the window... needless I say several guys that passed by were winking, cheesing, and waving like mad ppl LOL wth, I guess NY men are really nice?? No?? well that's the first I ever saw in NY since I've been going there... we then took a cab to the hotel *hotel was in timesquare*, after checking in and flirting with the receptionist, we walked around to find food... everything was closed but we finally settled for the nastiest dinner or midnight food I ever had *eww gross*... went back to the hotel and called it a night! Yep!
Following day, we went to go get brunch at this restaurant not far from the hotel and needless I say my friends were totally flirting with the guy making the food lmao, useless babes! then we started walking down to find the subway and one street hawker selling bags was trying to get us to buy his bags, one of my friends goes "those ish are so fake" I guess the guy was upset about it, cuz he went "yea? not as fake as you are" BUAHAHAHA funny something. Sha we went walking downtown Manhattan :D saw crazy somethings... at one store we went to, one of the sales ppl, this cute latino guy, dude was going crazy as in dancing and singing. He got serious with the stuff that he took his shirt off at one point and was just jamming as if it was a club or something... and of course we joined in hahaha, FUN TIMES! :D
After all the wakawaka about, we decided we want food... but wait not any food oh, AFRICAN FOOD (specifically Nigerian food), we all got on our phone tryna find ppl in NY that can get us address to some restaurant, sha we finally decided to go to one we thought would be easy to locate, well my dear the journey was Longggg but we made it.
But ol'up it was a ghanian restuarant... ah who cares, food is food oh and thank goodness my ghanian friend was wiff us, cuz I did not understand some of the stuff on the menu. Child did we eat to satisfaction!! and then sat for the longest time cuz we ate too much and couldn't get up HAHAHA. Saw some ghanian brothers in there... broke ass ppl sha all about that area, na so so stare them fit do, this one guy one "shish-kabob" (however u spell it) e no fit afford buy fine babes like we telling us he paid already, well nucca go back and pay more LOL. We got back to the hotel at about 9:30pm and as tired as we were we went straight to sleep, all the plans of going to the clubs and wotnot was PUFF gone! LOL, yes that's how we ended up going to NY to sleep oh... but woteva I had fun and spending time with the chicas was def nice!

That was that for wkend. Came back on sunday night and my appt is looking like someone elses as in my aptmate had my living room and kitchen in a MESS! I was disgusted that I cudn't go inside the kitchen and had to lock myself up in my room. WTH!!! I'm trying to be really patient and not go off on this chick... she got one month left and adios! Gosh how do u live like that... didn't clean the shit till today... the sink was packed from ish from last wednesday or something, infact.. ugh!

Monday was no school; patriots day and also was Boston Marathon, but I had senate meeting *I got elected again yay me* ... Tuesday I thot was Monday schedule, for someone who didn't go to sleep early on monday night I woke up really early for what I thought was my 9am class... nobody inside class, so I'm like watev's... went to 12am class and nobody... ok wth is going on?? found out it was tuesday schedule, okay well I have class on tuesday @ 12:30pm... got there and nobody, seriously?? like really at this point I am upset... woke up early for nothing, I was really upset about that but nothing a cold cereal can't fix.

Anyhooos, that's it for now... P.S God is Good! He is forever faithful to his words... do not ever doubt anything he says he will do cuz he always got a way when you think there is no way :)
Luv ya MWAHhhh*

BlindPhone-Intro (LOL)

Lmao, that's the best title I can come up with jor... you start running out of ideas sometimes.

Ahhh, weekend is almost over and I am not ready for the new week, as in two exams this week on same day kai! and my accounting prof decided to do retest on the 2nd exam since all the students failed it, so he decided not to do in class review but instead sent us the exam review. Me I'm like cool! Oh mehn when I opened dat email and downloaded the exam review.... 80+ questions!! and it aint exactly objectives oh YIKES* meaning they are all problem solving questions as in calculations for each one. Now I have to sit down and answer all the questions b4 friday (day of exam). I started yesterday and did about 15 questions... omg it's not exaclty easy questions AND on top of that, he is not going over them in class to do corrections, so even if you did it, u won't know if it's right or wrong! :( I think I'm gonna gag!

On about more interesting stuff, friend of mine started pursuing me for the longest time trying to get in touch with me. She called my phone and left msg to call her back (I didn't), then she left numerous msgs on instant msgs ( I didn't reply)... so sometime last wk I believe I was online so I decided to see what's up and finally replied. We talked, then she mentioned that she has a friend who she thinks he's my type (errr, wat?? type? how do you come about this?) sha she asked me if she cud give my number out... I didn't answer her at the time. So fastfwd to later that week, I'm in the mood to be daring... so I imed her and go oh yea u can give my number to this your friend sha.

Thursday night I believe... infact i think i got the whole thing wrong as per the week it happened, i think the whole conversation was week b4 this last one... sha thursday night, I got a missed call from this private number.. okayyyy??? Then I proceed to listen to my voicemails, then there's a voicemail from this guy, let's call him "DUDE". Dude left his name, mentioned he was calling from a friend's phone cuz something is wrong with is phone (OKKKK?? like am I suppose to care?), left his number so I can call him back (of course I didn't). But you know what was funny about this vmail as I was listening to it, I noticed the voice sounded like one of my guy friends, infact I thot it surely was him (my thots were "I'm gonna kill this girl") but then I noticed how he spoke and the tone to his voice and it seemed similar to one of my girlfriends... not like he sounded like a girl but like he spoke the same way this chick will *i can't explain it jo*... that kinda relieved me cuz if it was that guy friend I thought it was, gosh GONGO ASO! and not in a good way.

Yesterday, private call comes in and I'm like wth *normally I don't pick private calls tho* but I decided to pick up... person said hello and proceeds to introduce himself. I'm like hi, he goes on to say he was calling to say quick hello (thnks I say) goes on to explain why he wasn't calling from his phone. And that was the end of that conversation.

Today, first and foremost I went to church YAY! God is good. After church, I'm lounging and trying to find something to eat. A call comes in, one area code like that (I'm not familiar with this one o)... I answered. It's DUDE again, "Hi" bawo ni (wat's up)... Okay I didn't realize how weird this was going to be until this conversation. I was mostly quiet during the multiple conversations as he keeps saying let me call you back *already called 5times or more in the last 3hrs.. I understand he's at work but really??* And I'm quiet?!?!! egbami, we all know how much I talk :p it was very unusual esp on sunday too *the most time I talk most lol*.

Idk from his voice.. I don't think anything more will happen with this new found "relationship". As in it won't go any further than where it is at right now... sorry?? You said I'm pre-judging. Well yes of course I am, but who cares!! abeg this is about me.. and last I checked I matter alot so anything I say or think matters too LOL. From his voice, I came up wit some analysis that doesn't seem to fit "my type" or maybe I'm just being anal or something. Infact, I'm starting to regret the whole thing by now and asking myself whyyyy "why did i even give her the go-ahead". That's how ppl end up with stalkers oh, for real mehn being there b4 infact this case I met the guy and exchange numbers, but apparently guy thot I wanted more than "hello-watsup" kinda thing and when I made it clear, dude will not take no for an answer, harrassing me up and down the whole place. That was then, and I hope this won't turn out to be another one of them. Yea mehn, i've made the decision to ignore anymore calls from that area-code till further notice...

That's the story of my life LOL.

But shd I not jump into conclusions yet... what do you think. Have a Lovely week y'all :)

Thankful for April 9th

I cannot thank God enough for all he has done in my life, right from the day I was conceived... he has always been there. He's done so much for me, words cannot tell all. 16 years ago, as I recall vividly my mom went to the hospital on the 8th and on the 9th we received a good news that changed all our lives. She had given birth! and as much as I was hoping it was a girl to play with... of course it turned out to be a boy. Over the years, I grew up to be this little boy's second mother, as we are few yrs apart in age. I was his older sister, we laughed, played and most importantly fought as many siblings do, but through all that we continue to grow fond of each other. He looks up to me and I admire how much I'm worth in his eyes... didn't click to me how much he really do looks up to me until one of my visits home when he showed me an essay I wrote long ago during my high school days. He told me that he was keeping it because he was inspired from the stuff I wrote about (I had written about what I wanted to be and some other stuff about me), he took interest in who I am and my dreams... I was shocked and almost cried.

Ever since, everytime I go home I notice how much he keeps growing not only physically but mentally, I could never ask for a better brother. Last time I went home (during springbrk) I was shocked to find out he has started dricing, he drove me and basically my whole family everywhere. Everytime I wanted to go out, he would always offer to drive and I just keep thinking back to when he was born, to when I use to beat him up cuz he was so stubborn and would never listen, to when he broke my sister's teeth, to when he got his first award and I had to escorted him there, to when we escorted him to another award when he met the mayor... the list keeps going and I just keep thinking like omg the little boy of those days is driving. I mean it's suprising how quick he just keeps growing. Today is his 16th birthday and I am extremely thankful for his life! For who he is, for what he will become in coming years, infact I cannot SHOUT! God is good.

L'ojo Monday Eko ...

oni gbagba ku gba o... hmmm I miss Naij and where do they think up lyrics like this.

Anyhoos, happy monday to all and to all a happy week! yep yep TGIM, no really first time ever I will admit to be happy it's monday. This last week was NOT my week at all... got back my Act exam and it was horrible, we didn't win the competition like we hoped, we got ripped off we came second. My profile and grp picture from the competition came out horrible I was highly upset. It was a dreadful week to say the least, had like 2 exams that week too, hardly had time or energy to read. Weekend too was crazeee, friday night I wnt to the pre-party for our show, drove like 1 & half hr to get there, didn't sleep that night. Early saturday I drove back to school, started cleaning, then went to go cook for the show but couldn't finish cuz I was just too tired and couldn't push myself to do it, and it wasn't something easy like rice... I'm talking moin moin, i didn't know how mch work went into that sh*t till i tried it and now that I know... never again, not for alot of ppl oh. We had our African Night that night, need I say how intense of work it was? I don't think so. I mean the whole thing was just hectic and lots of stress that came with it. I didn't even see the show, didn't have time to take pictures even tho I had camera on me... the work was just too much. I'm grateful it went alright, couple of mishaps, confusion, panic, shouting, aggrevations ... infact my body is still suffering from all of that. The after party was bunz tho! I had so much fun it was not easy getting to my room. I don't know where I got the energy to walk up stairs and find my bed, but I will tell you this much... I didn't make it to church and didn't get up till 3'o clock in the afternoon only because someone called me they were coming over to get their stuff, if not! hmm ... sha, it is done and over with. Thx God.


I wanna shout!!!
I CANNOT STAND MY ACCOUNTING PROF!
I just hope and pray that I pass that class... everybody in that class hates the dude it's not even funny anymore. As in we're stuck with this man cuz our prof gan gan is out sick or something. But sha the class is not going well, he gave the second exam and 95% of the class failed; ppl who got 90 in the first exam got like 35/40%.. R U KIDDIN ME!
I've had this teacher b4 and he was horrible at what he is doing and now I'm stuck with him... I cannot afford to fail oh! Infact I plead u ppl put me in ur prayers, the guy is an a$$, make he no come use his own spoil my own oh! Say a prayer for a sister.

At this point in this semester, it is crunch time, so no vex if I don't update constantly, sha keep coming and I go try harder. Have a lovely week y'all.

Quickie... OOOhhh

lol, i knw wat u thot at first but Ah getchur mind out of the salanga, gutter... u disgusting mind, what did you think I was going to talk about *eyeroll* BUAHAHAHA I JOKE! Happy 1st!! Happy April Foolss Day!!

Okay I came to deliever a quick blog entry hence the name "quickie". I'm in RI for a competition with my SIFE grp and it's been exciting and fun... we had dinner and gosh "ojukokoro" "worbia" or as we like to refer to it as "greediness" no go kill me oh. I don eat toooo much my stomach dey hard like nothing else... not only me sha feels that way so don't worry I didn't disgrace us "nigerians" there LOL. You know when someone gets somewhere and uses the opportunity to the point u'r like wth, do u not eat or go out, you know acting as if it's ur last meal or something LOL. NoSAh nothing to that extent oh, but it was fun, hung out with my teammates *ugh wth, is it with 2m's or 1* and we went through the presentations and stuff. I'm excited for later on this morning for the competition.


Recently, infact it was during the SBrk, I was in a church service and we were asked to open to the book of Matthew, so evrybody is trying to find Matthew when someone in the meeting goes " MAH-REW chapter what?" LMAO lawdamercy i busted out loud laffing, I couldn't hold it.. i mean I've hrd of the "to-me-rro" "po-re-ro" "wor-ra/wor-da" "qua-ra" and "to-yo-ra" but never mahrew.. i died laffing mehn. Same week, we were bored and looking for something funny to watch but nothing was on tv, no naija movies to watch, so my friend decided to pop in one of Gbenga BABA ARA's video from waayyyy back b4 he died and they had a segment in there that were shot in the U.S and he was talking to this African-American dude in the street of Boston, I forgot what the conversation was but nxt thing i hrd that stuck with me till now was when he said 'spe-ri-cu" as in spectacle... i almost pissed on myself mehn. I mean what is up with that tho esp with naija folks, they stay trying phonee every word, lol. But i love it sha, dats why i indulge in it, i hope it stays only with my online personnel tho, I cannot afford to be spking like dat in public... the thought sef cracks me up. Can u imagine if someone ask me what time it is and I go "it's quarrah to 9" lol HAHA.

Another randomness
So I'm walking to class earlier yesterday morning and I thot to myself... hmm wouldn't it be cool if we all had the special power to see when people fart??LMAO! Omgoodness, don't ask me how and what brought the thought, all i know is that it came to mind and i cracked up on the foolish thot sha. Can u imagine what your eyes will have to go through, I mean you walk around all day and you don't know who is using style to fart while walking, or standing waiting for a bus or something. To be able to see it will be incredible i think or maybe I'm just weird... ahahahaha imagine seeing one fine babe walking in front of u and u'r there salivating and mesmerizing and POOF she jabo gas... goshhhh lol okay i'll stop there.


Gosh this is sooo not a quickie blog, but what-ev'ss... so i'm off to my hotel bed *which btw i love or so much i wish it can fit inside my bag or car i for steal am... so comfy*

Sooo... yes oh! SBreak came and now it's gone! I wished I went somewhere exotic like all these other ppl did but you know wat I did go somewhere better than all that foolish Jamaica, Florida, California and wot not trips they all went on. I got to be on a private island!! as in who can ask for more... why will I complain about that, infact you sef look at the picture, clearly my SBreak was better than anyone else's. I dare someone to say otherwise...

7 Hallehujah somebody!!

I said somebody shoutttt 7-meje hallelujahsss!... ah! I just can't shout ni so I need people to help me shoutttt!


God is good! He is awesome, the King of kings, Lord of lords, Almighty, the Everlasting, the I AM that I AM, my redeemer, my fortress, my counselor, unchanging, the Alpha and Omega, my beginning and my end, the anciemt of days... AHH I said I CAN'T SHOUT! most of all MY HEALER!

These past days have been dreadful, since wednesday I've been feeling weird but thursday night the devil decided he wanted to do his worse... as in fever skyrocket and went off the charts, head was pounding like ur pistel and mortal do when u'r making pounded yam, throat was hurting like a bishinta, I had to bundle myself oh...it was serious. I decided to take some medications tht night and went to sleep right after. Woke up an hr later (wtheck! 1hr of sleep in this kind of situation?) as I did, the devil decided I haven't had enuff torture ... my bones started to ache as if they were hammering them ni o.. could barely walk! I said a quick quiet prayer, called my mom, asked ppl to pray for me... I sha was able to get some med that night. Upon all the medication and all, homework(s) had to be done, so I stayed up doing my homework. I woke up late friday morning, infact I missed my 9am lecture, but had to get up to finish my homework for 12pm class... hmm in short b4 my 12pm class I was feeling brand new ni sha. As in I was fine oh! --- I said somebody give a wiper for the Lord!
Friday night, I came home (as spring break started.. but becuz I was too rich to go to Miami/California, I decided to go home where I don't gotta pay a fortune). Woke up satuurday with the worst feeling ever, I felt blahhh again... kia, I rebuked satan straight away took some motrin and tea, took a nap and can I just tell you that I am again doing fine! glory be to God. He is Awesome.

Other reasons to shout hallelujah:

Thursday night, while I was feeling like I was going to die... TBabes (close friend)called me, me I was still saying oh I'm going to use this opportunity to sulk for some attention, lirru did i know. She was crying (wtheck??!) I'm like abeg wat happened why u crying. She started mumbling...
I- what!?!
TBabes- I can't find my mum, she's not home.. I don't know where she is. OMG, what will I tell ppl in naij.. mogbe egba mi oo
I- wat do you mean u can't find ur mom
TBabes- I'm outside my apt, I've been calling th house and no answer.. I've been standing outside since, idk where she is.. I can't find my mommy, OMG she might need my help
I- okay! tbabes cool down, stop cryn...

ahh long story sha, after maybe callings, crying and alladat she called me back and said "Desiree, she's back o, *she laffs* ... so where was she?? "She went to TJMaxx" .. ehnn? did I not tell u?? how can ur mom be lost.. mchewww* Sha I thx God for safety for my friends and their family and mine! God is awesome!

Ehnn, another hallelujah for my babes (TBabe's lil sister) whose bday is tomorrow... she's going to be 18 yay! (aww, my lil is growing b4 my eyes and I'm super excited). I'm gonna drive to Boston tomorrow and celebrate with her, I'm so looking fwd to that. Updates will follow ... my spring break has been emmm interesting BUHAHAHA i've been doing some foolish *silly* stuffz, i'll blog about it later sha as time goes by.

Happy Sunday!!

P.S abeg pardon any shelling oh, try and take cover for any tiauns...

My Week Thus Far...

It's been an eventful week, classes are coming along I guess... Uh spring break cannot come soon enough, but I feel as if I'm coming down with something. I'm not sure what, but I do not feel good; my forehead is pounding, I have temp, my eyeballs feel warm/hot, my throat is irritating.. ugh I just feel awful, I don't wanna spend my sbreak sick or weak at all.
Speaking of which, I'd planned on going away to somewhere to spend this free time I am soon to be blessed with and well "owo polo'wo" right now in other words I'm too rich right now to afford the shege. Monday night, I and my other girl were trying to see where we can go, so she started looking for cheap a** tickets, meanwhile she'd been talking about South Carolina and how she wants to go with some other people to have fun in Mrtyle(sp) Beach... long story short she entered to search for ticket to go there, she made an offer (200 dollars/person) it got accepted! YIKES! it was only for jokes oh... at this point we were stuck with tickets we didn't plan on buying or shd I say planning on using to go to SC. I was freaking out as she was too, I called my uncle who recently moved there with his family but they didn't get back. I called everyone I knew I could asking if they knew anyone in SC to no luck at all. Unfortunately, we couldn't get a refund, transfer or deffer the tickets so we were stuck on going to SC, I'm still freaking out. I called the airline that they got the ticket from and after talking and much talking I got them to deffer the tickets for us, and get credit with them. Basically we now have a ticket credit with the airline and can use it to anywhere, but it has to be used within a year *PHEW!* That caused my a mini-heart attack. Sadly tho, we still don't have anything for spring break :( I guess I will be going home then if nothing pops up. Or maybe if our other plan works out we might go to MD again! *eww.. but better than nowhere*

Also during this wonderful week, one of the student's group I'm in had a program today based on Business/Work Ethics and Commercial Ethics... it was a debate forum type of thing, we had panels and alot of discussions about some controversial ads out there (Paris Hilton's Hardie's Burger, Axe commercial, Lipitor and some other ones) during the forum. I also found out during this that the people who makes AXE (that degrades women in my opinion) are the same people who makes DOVE (that promotes women's security and alladat).. interesting facts?
But we had a good turnout, it was fantastic. I'm so proud of the group and cannot wait till Regional Competition on April 1st :)

Later on today too, there was another open forum type of thing, it was about the Immigration raid that happened about a year ago near my school (New Bedford)... and basically I.C.E came into a factory and raided there, took all the people without papers including women who were breastfeeding.
Here is the video that was shown and discussed: (feel free to express your thoughts and feeling after watching this)

Another Week Is About To Start

Well, I didn't make it to church today but I got to listen to the most inspiring lyrics. I was touched by this lady's voice, Lara George a winner of West African Idol ... her single "Ijoba Orun" is a hit, it's hot! Her voice is on point as in ON POINT! I am very impressed with not only her voice, but also the message she is passing along to us, which is
... a reminder to all of us, that we're just strangers in this world, our home is not here. So while we struggle to make it here, let's not get carried away with all these earthly things but have in mind the heavenly thingss...
I hope you are as blessed as I was hearing this reminder. Happy Sunday Y'all!



BTW: I have uploaded the joint, take the time to listen to it and be blessed!

I'm In Love with a Woman!! ... with Chrisette!

she so effing cute, adorable just wanna pull on her cheeks :)

I''m feeling her vibe...



I love her album, "I Am" , if you don't have it yet try and cop one real quick!! I can't stop listening to "Golden"... for the past month or so now, I have made it my morning devotion and night devotion (aside from Gongo Aso- 9ice; who I'm currently crushing on). I remember the first time I heard this song, the words just had my total attention, I remember putting it on repeat throughout the whole weekend. And it seems as if each time I listen/hear "Golden", it's as if I'm just hearing those words for the first time... it has been a while since any music like this *genre* has had this much effect on me. I can actually say she is def my fav thus far this year... nobori else (again aside from my boo 9ice) can change my mind about that, they will have to really out do her before I can consider changin my opinion. Can I also mention how she has changed my mind about jazz?? yes yes I love the whole jazz vibe that's on her album.

Too much, I can't shout! *jor jor*

Just so for the record, she is sooo coming to sing at my wedding ... can I hear an AMEN! yes Lord.

And is it me or does she have a weird resemblance with Countess Vaughn?? Hmmm...

How I'm Doing - Indescent Dressings

Blogville!!! what it do.. yes yes I am already 1+, it is the Lord's doing and it is marvelous in my sight and I give all glory and praises to Him for all things he has done AND things he will continue to do, and shoutout to omosezxy and shashaa crown for the bday love, you girls are one of a kind, I truly appreciate you!! Ahh so you'll think bcuz it's my special day that i will get a break and time to celebrate right... nahhhh, I have been wicked busy throughout from friday till now and it is still going. Oh and my celebration for saturday went alright, ppl flaked out at the last minute unfortunately but i still had an alright time, racing was fun and I came last (lol like duhh)... and yea pictures went poof into thin air, all thx to my camera who decided to format the memory card (like who asked it) and deleted every picture in there... but thx God my naija pics were off it already or else I would have just broke down and cried my eyes out.

Anyhoos, in the midst of my busy week and sleepless mornings namely today I came across a friend's note on FB talking about the new Bill of an Act Against Public Nudity and what nots... in other words "Indescent Dressing". I've heard about this awhile ago but I didn't actually think they were like serious about this kind of something. Like is Senator Ekaette ( a woman at that) really serious about this?? Out of all the problems that country is facing, dressing codes is what they are concerned about? Is this High School; senior prefects ish we're dealing with or isn't this "the House" government we're talking about??

I'm so confused, is this madam ekaette educated at all? since when did how you dress from your own house a concern of the government or the concern of other citizens. As in, as she ever gotten the chance to go outside her village, her state, Nigeria, Africa? and see how people dress around the world? There is nothing as "indescent dressing" at all! It doesn't exist, it is just an idea/thinking/opinion (personal)... look inside a dictionary woman!

What is it that we (Nigeria women) wear sef that is soooo indescent? I personally can atest that a high %tage of the women do dress accordingly (this I have seen in recent visit and everyday around me as I am surrounded by the Nigerians everywhere I turn), infact after France and Italy... we shd be the next fashion capital cuz yes we do love fashion and big on spending on how we look, now if that is a crime.

So like what is it that this woman trying to say, for the love of humanity somebody try and help me understand. It's not even funny anymore, I had a laugh at the idea when the issue came up last yr and to actually go ahead in writing the Bill is sort of like okay stop playing.
What is the meaning of "indescent dressing" anyway?? I totally agree with these women on Funmi's show:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSV_cpLeDqs
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WvPvrg8NEx0&feature=related

It is a personal issue and definition that we all are entitle to have but to generalize it and try to force your own opinion of indescent anything on the whole country... that is just wrong! Not rightttt. We need not let this pass oh! ...

I'm On The Move

Today, I look back and realize my anticipation led me to desperation,

That determine a constellation, that later caused inconsistency.

At the time, I obscured the reality and created a world I call illusion

By the time I set to reality, it was nothing but the dramatization,

Of something I thought it could be, of what I hoped you'll impersonate.

I wished you were! I wanted so much to edit your imperfection,

And make you into my vision of what perfection is...


*sigh* ... thougth I'd give my writing some practice, you know speak my mind.
It has been one interesting week, a lot is changing; my birthdate is coming up, I'm working on my health, and today I decided it was time to absolutely move on from this boy *I call him a boy cuz well... he is* I felt was holding me back (ex's case).
We didn't really finalize the relationship, it was a fight that escaladed, trusts and hearts were broken and we just went our seperate ways. I stayed in contact with his cousin, who I was friends with and sometimes when both of us are talking on the phone, he'll hop on to "say hello and see how I'm doing"... as much as I didn't want anything to do with him, another side of me wanted to see if we would get back to us, so I became friends, we didn't really talk tho but at least all hatred/beefs were put to the side. After several months, events i like to call drama took place, I realized I could not deal with him and the drama he brings to my sane life, so I stopped talking to him. How could that work when I still had his contact info... and temptations got the best of me at times that I gave in to talking to him. But today, I finally made the decision to have him totally removed! that includes cell #, home address, even his aim/msn i had.. everything are deleted and now I feel I can finally move on. If I don't have all these then I won't be tempted to talk to him right? sha it wasn't easy, took me a very long time to act on this... but I'm much relieved and ready to start a new birth year, drama/shady ppl free.
So weekend started and I have so much to do this weekend it's not even funny... sunday I have a meeting in the am, like I don't even know how I will make it when I will be celebrating into sunday morning. I'm excited tho to have everyone that hearts me celebrate another yr... we are gonna party like rock stars! By the time I come back to blogville... I will be a year older! can you believe it

YAY ME! :D




Have a blissful wkend!

Thursday's Entry

It is thursday guys! and I feel like a brand new rolls royce..yup. My birthday is coming up (on monday), I made plans on celebrating the event on Saturday with fellow friends .. I'm looking forward to it actually and I can't wait. At the same time tho, I'm scared on adding on another year.. gosh I wish I was just turning 18 sha! When you go past 20 you realize oh boy wow almost legal right, then 21 and you're like okay i'm legal so what next and then from 21 (I don't know if you felt the same but for me sha) it all started going downhill... it suddenly hits me like OMG I'm old *yikes*. I feel old age wise but fresh face lomo ;)... and now I'm starting to feel all grown up and like my views on things are dramastically changing not to talk about how I act too. And for some weird reason I feel the need to be responsible and start taking care of myself a little bit better than I am right now and that is why I'm going back to the gym *as much as I am lazy* and I've resumed working yesterday *finger crossed* I hope it last long!

Along with working out, I am thinking of doing some kind of diet. But I have a problem with sticking to a diet, especially with a background like mine. I mean as African, it is really hard to eat "healthy", first of all the amount of carbs we consume is ridiculous and really MOST (and i mean most if not all sef) of our foods are carbs... to tell you the truth that sucks mehn especially if you grew up eating African dishes, cause you get hooked *I'm a carbolic* and breaking the habit is a torture. I wonder if there is a way to lose weight or potentially "diet" without having to give up any African dish cause i think i'll die if i had to... like there will be nothing for me to eat except maybe salad and that my friend is not food to me! more like snacks/appetizers. I wish and hope there is a way around it.

So I plan to go to the gym like 3tymes a week, get on the treadmill for about 20mins then hop on stairmaster for 15mins... and call it a day! how does that sound?? lol... It sounds like a plan to me alright haha.

A Well Spent Long Weekend.

Friday Night was bunz, had so much fun at the ball ... it was much needed tho, I've been harboring myself from the world for quite sometimes, I only go out when I absolutely have to like for friend's bdays/my bday, church, school, everything else like clubbing/partying is out of the question. The ball was definitely what I needed (pictures are coming to the nearest FB near you).
Saturday, I woke up with the motivation to cook, now if you know me you def know that cooking is a mood for me.. I cook depending on how I'm feeling, but I woke up excited and wanting to cook lol. So I went online, gathered some info from a thread about African recipes/cooking and indulged myself to somethings from the site; the puff puff, ogbono soup, and fried rice recipes. I started cooking the meats I had in my freezer and then called a friend and went grocery shopping! My goodness, that too was fun ( I can't explain how .. weird feeling if I may say). Came back and put those cooking direction to use, cooked my very first fried rice hehe :D and my friend loved it... but she's not Nigerian so I can't absolutely rely on her testimonial, I need a certified Nigerian to taste it and then give me feedback. Now in between cooking the fried rice, I started the puff puff mix, poured a whole sachet of yeast into the thing and covered it with aluminum foil so it can rise... well 2hrs later it did, then a huge problem started. I opened the foil and there is a sour smell to the mix, I'm thinking this is not right *i suspect the yeast*... but I continued, started frying it and it looked puff puff-rish but then when I tasted it... the back was crunchy and inside was puff puff - clearly I made a puff-buns that had a weird taste to it lol. I'm still trying to figure out what I did wrong sha, but the experience was cool... I am officially becoming a chef one step at a time :D *yay me! * Errr... *dot dot dot*
Sunday, woke up very late for church so that was out of the plan. Called up my friend to come to the gym (I'm on a mission to be fit in 2008... lepa by force in 2008) ... well gym was closed OH WELL, there goes that plan too. I basically spent the whole day doing nothing, stayed in bed watching tv and chatting online, tried to get some work done but that was in no avail.

Monday (2/18)... today, I woke up late, no school today!! sweeet! so I got my homework done, just gotta read some stuffz. It's been a well spent-weekend if I may say so myself, I hope you too can say the same.

Blahh!

... yea I know I said I was coming back to enter some more random thoughts, I did try to add on but I guess there is nowhere to "edit" posts around here... ugh! I'm so freaking confuse with this blog entries sef, I don't get so many things like how do i add "cool blogs" on my page im tired of going thru other ppl's blog to get to another one, or going into comments to go thru mai ppl's blogs. Oh and how da heck do I change the template... i think this one is sooooooo boring and so not me. Many things I'm still trying to figure out.
Anyhooz, like i was saying yes so all the random thoughts I had didn't make it and it was quite alot of them too but now I forgot them... oh well, whatever! Next in lone of thought is this whole valentine's day something, for me it was another day another wahala shey. I woke up verrrry late went to some meetings and called it a day, I have too many things on my mind anyways. Like now I'm thinking about the "Black History Month Ball" I have to attend in few hrs, i have no idea of how my hair is gonna be done (I have long single braids) like how do I work with that?? And I have other stuffs like school work to worry about. It's a bit overwhelming... this week has been lazy and dreadfully blah! I can't wait till it's over and plus no school on monday (ye-yahh) I'm all for that. In the meantime, lemme go and pick out a dress and prepare myself for the event.. I'll be back to update you on how that went and maybe put up a picture *or not*

During my not so fantastic week, i came across this man, he had me laugh'n :D I just love my Haitian peeps yo, haha!
Happy Friday!

Random Things/Thoughts Thru-Out Today

1st Entry: Naija Parents mehnn...
well you gotta love them sha, but sometimes they be on some stuffz. For example my last post, I mentioned how momsie called and started going off on me about something I've done thousand times (driving at night)... well I was just recalling to the conversations that nightand I crack up at it, like after much heated lecture, the conversation went something like this:
Me: I don't know what I did oh, I don't know why this is a big deal now.. it's not as if it's my first time driving at night...
Mom: *begins to shout and tryna tell me something i forgot wat*
Me: mommy! i mean this is not my first time tho, i don't understand why this is such a big deal now... Ey de'n pariwo le mi as if.... *she didn't lemme finish my statement b4 she goes*
Mom: emi? emi ni mo'n pariwo??!
*i realised big mistake!*
Me: ah, egba te de'n soro si mi as if i did something wrong
Mom: sooo gbogbo oro ti mo'n so... aruwo ni mo'n pa?
*dead* ... mehn, i almost hung up the phone. I mean i didn't even mean it like dat but they always read meanings to everything you do/say, my frustration got the best of me and i mistakingly address her lecture as "noise".

Weekend?.... Shitty! Shitty I tell you!

My weekend started on friday, made plans to start braiding my hair and also between that go out with a friend who's BDay happened to fall on that day... but also in between those i planned on washing my hair b4 braiding. Well I got to my destination one hour later than I planned on... and washed my hair by this time it was around 8pm (when my friend's bday plans started).. finished washing the hair and then I found out there was no hair dryer in the house and no combs (courtesy of my big sis).. so then I had to drive up the street to buy all these things at one drugstore like that. Came back and blow dryed, finally started the hair an hour and 30mins later ... while doing this my friends were calling me to find me out, later I realized I couldn't make the dinner but I planned on going to a lounge with them. 2hours later, I called another friend to come with and by 1am we got to the lounge (my hair still not done but that is another story)... got to the door, my friend couldn't get in cuz he didn't have the appropriate dress code (no sneakers) so he couldn't go inside, but I did to say hello to everyone, stayed for like 15mins and left, I basically called it a night at about 2:30am.
Saturday... woke up, started doing my hair and watched "Mary Poppins" and "Lion King" with the kids, at 6pm the lady doing my hair was going to work and planned to finish my hair at work... but upon getting there she was told she couldn't so I had to drive back home and sat the whole night in and out.
Sunday... besides the point that I didn't have an extra cloth to wear to church (cuz I planned to be done with everything on saturday and make my return to school) my hair was still half way done, mind you my sis told me b4 that the lady was fast but at this point I was becoming upset and furious. At about 1pm started the hair and didn't finish till 6/7pm then the lady had the nerve to want to charge me 40bucks??! on 3days hair?? I am furious ... after all the wahala i went thru... and on top of it, moms called and started this whole thing about not driving so late and started getting angry that I was still at home with big sis that late... it was the strangest thing ever, like out of nowhere making a big deal out of something I do everytime! that pissed me off. Anyhoos... I'm back in school and calm thank God weekend is over... hair is done, i got away from everyone... AHHHH! Wait oh I have homeworks!! this suck


On more happier notes tho, the Grammy Night was tonight... I didn't start watching till like almost 2hrs after it started. Rihanna (RiRi) is killing me o! Iyam jelox'n her badly, her haircut was fayah, it fits her perfectly too... not to talk about that her blue dress thumps up! While they were showing all these dead musicians, Lucky Dube showed up in the list, it brought a smile on my face, I thought that was kool. Josh Groban is just HOT! HAWT! HOTTT! I wanna marry him. I thought Kanye was errr... I don't know, he lost me long time ago but anyhoos he had "MAMA" shaved on his head, i guess a tribute to his mother.
What else caught my attention... oh yea! Amy Winehouse, liked her performance but I couldn't help but notice the 3 black guys "backup singers/dancers" lol, one kept making faces everytime he got the steps wrong or watever... the whole time he looked like he was making conversations with the other guys, i thot that was silly and funny like do you not know the cameras are on you! but yea Amy won the nomination for something i forgot but she was shocked and adorable :)
Little Richards too had my attention, he is such an entertainer love him.


Anyways that's it for me ojare... I have a long week ahead of me, and so much more to happen so let me continue this movie "My Big Fat Greek Wedding" in the meantime and start on these homeworks. Toddles!

In Search!... Help I'm Tongue-Tied!

Noooo, I'm not searching for myself, although I should but that is a process on it's own, that will have to be done gradually. But what am i searching for? well TALENT!
I am worried that I don't have a talent... wait no I worded that wrong, I do have a talent but I need to get in tune with my talents. I hear all these artists singing and I'm just flabagasted (ed-quiz my spelling) from some of the lyrics. Like how do they come up with such good lyrics, and like sometimes they have these lyrics and you think wait I could have wrote that like for example the Chris Brown "With You" I'm just like that's something anyone can say/think anytime .. but it's put together so good and I'm jealous! I too wanna write a song dammit! I wanna write song(s) that will speak to ppl and they can relate to... but how do I unveil my talent, cuz I know I have one underneath, inside, deeeeep in me I just got to get in touch with it, but again how? So I'm looking for suggestions, if anyone writes maybe you can give me some pointers... or if you know some, ask them how they do it. I must be a singer by force!

Moving on to other things... so apart from wanting to write/sing, today I was nominated for and accepted the Recruitment Coordinator position in my org, SIFE (Student In Free Enterprise, www.sife.org ) which was way different from the initial position(treasurer) I wanted. Yep, but I'm like the most shyest(is that a word?) person like ever, okay maybe i stretched that but I am shy and I dont like talking in front of people I don't know or not comfortable with.. and that's exactly the job of a recruiter right, so how am I suppose to that job and how do I conquer this fear. I was wondering if there is a class for "shyness" or in better terms public speaking... I get so tongue tied in front of people, starts feeling small and talking low.. I hate it and I want to change that, especially if I'm doing this job and also want to be a musician :D lol.

On a more lighter fun things... does anyone watch Making The Band 4?? aww I think Dawn and Q are co freaking adorable! *sigh* love is the air for those two... and he finally takes her on a date! I wish I was familiar with that term.. dammit I need a date... anyone up to it? holla at me :D haha

Have a Nice Day Y'all!

What's up?? Not Much

Well let's see what do I have to say... hmm

For one, my dad's bday was yesterday, totally 4got to call the house till like couple of hours ago and everyone but my little was sleeping. But I gave her a msg to deliver in the morning sha, so that is not bad right? Ah well, he'll understand.
Today I finally put up pictures i took in Naija, lol after like a really long time, i don't know what it is but I've become so lazy with pictures and it's very unlike me. I'm naturally a picture whore, but lately that has changed (dramastically) I'm not sure if it's because of what people said, you know you can never please ppl they will always have something to say, or maybe it's that I outgrew it or maybe it's the fact that I hang around ppl who when a camera is in sight, they cover their faces... it sucks being around ppl like dat tho, it depresses me i dont understand why but it does, so maybe I'm use to that so now I'm catching the disease (i hate it and wish i can be cured). But yea anyways, pictures are up on FB, so check those out, you might even see something you love (food) like you know suya that goes perfectly with cold garri :) lol.
As much as I hated my trip to Nigeria, i have to say looking at those pictures I kinda miss it and if God touches my heart and change my mind or something happens, then i might go there sooner than I plan (5-10yrs). As per the food, it was off the chains loved every bit of it.. but as per external stuffs like the roads, air, electricity & stuff it basically sucked, I just hope and pray that Yar'dua do something about those during his time. The clubs were aight, cool places ... but to me it started felting like an A.S.A night after-party in boston, i dont know if that has anything to do with the fact that I saw so many ppl from yankee, or the fact that I've never seen so many african in one place other than A.S.As events or a wedding. Either way it was fun, but wasn't easy at all.. I mean partying everyday, I wasn't use to that but i survived it and will def do it again (lol).

Distressed... I think I need a drink.

Uhh long wkend, I can't think straight my head is not in the right place right now. But I figured I'll give you key points and some of you might actually feel my pain or little of it. so far this wkend was bull, as in male cow specifically I'm refering to sunday 02/03... how can so many things go wrong in one day?? :( I don't understand. so here it goes:

-Nigeria vs. Ghana? uh need I say more?? pathetic!

-Getting a 55dollars ticket while (see nxt bullet) i am so upset... where will I get that kind of money?? Shd I appeal it?? It will cost me close to that amt to go to boston and appeal it... shd I anyways?? UGH ARGHHHH! I need a shot... tho i don't drink.

-The PATRIOT losing to giant?? I'm sure all the pat fans out there understands my pain right now. Brady you disappointed me my dear :( ...gosh can't believe no parade this yr BOOO giants!

-Driving loooong way to school, yawning on the steering wheel, while digesting the loss to the giant (eww gosh) and thinking about the ticket.. mehnn that has got to be the most depressing rides of my life!

-Schoolwork to beckon on in the morning...ugh thx to the Super Eagle and Patriots, yep I put off homework(s) and now I regret it *cry* I shd be celebrating and not concerned if only we won... *sigh* I mean sunday was just a disappointing day as par everything else but spritually, the only source of my happiness and HOPE right now. There's always nxt yr right? I mean 18-1 is not bad if you ask me, it just happened that the 1 came at the wrong time, trust ppl to focus more on that one *rolleyes*

NE Patriots will be back with full force, you aint seen the last of us... It's not the end.

Was, Is, and Will Always be the one and only CHAMPIONS!

I'm Here.

Wow, I made it in here... I'm very excited!

so I waited on purpose till it was February 1st to create this blog, I like things in order like it will feel weird for me to start something like this after the month has started .. Idk, I'm very unique like that, I do my stuff differently. I'm guessing I shd make some type of introduction, unfortunately I'm not sure how to go about that, the best way to know someone is to listen to them and what comes out of their mouth so I will do just that and if you should by any means have a ??question?? do not hesistate to ask and also introduce yourselves, leave comments I'll really love to hear from you or at least know someone out there relates with some of the things I will be sharing :)
But YAY! I'm here... uh let's see few things going on right now:
-School started for me just this week, and it's being really going great God has been awesome and I can't but be very appreciative of his wonderful mercies and grace, infact I don't know where to start... and I shd and will save that for another time, right now I just wanna breath stretch and shake ... hehe
-I'm making major changes this year. I know I know what you're thinking "Oh yea another one with new year's resolution(s)" but I will hate to disappoint you, no they are not resolutions they are just things that were bond to happen in order for me to move up and be successful in life... you know make me life more happy and stress-free, at the same time brings me success. As time goes on I will be going in detail(s) and sharing.
"sharing is caring"
Alright kids, that's all for now... if anyone has an idea on blogging (duh! of course you do) please enlighten me cuz I am clueless how this works. I hope so far I'm doing alright. Okie dokiee, i go dey wait for una (Oh! i didn't mention I was very very ethnic, like the root of ethnic??lol how rude of me)

I'm feeling this song as in pure madness... diff style of praising God
