Hello bloggers. Well well well, it's almost the end of the week; exactly one week after my last entry and here I am again. Ha! I am determined to blog oo, and I think I'm getting a hang of it. So since my come back, I've been up and down this place looking for interesting blogs to stalk (not really stalk but you know "follow", you ain't heard, this is MY tweeter... TWET!) since basically all the ones I use to "follow" are either shut down or I can't locate them for some reason, either way I've been snooping. I need me some blogger neighbors... are you it?!
Just now, I just caught up with Arewa... my lawd and my gawd! The girl is funny. Too many quotables, one of my fav being "I get so excited when he says something goofy like I cant wait to put a baby inside you. Like having children out of wedlock is funny. *hiss*" - OMG LWKM, and that is just one quote oo, I most def will be stalking the girl (Hey Girl! lol).
Another Blogger that caught my interest is GNG- GoodNaijaGirl, okay I was hooked the moment my eyes caught her headline "Murdering the Yoruba Language since 1979" I died laughing, at that very moment she had me hooked (yea I knw I have a weird sense of humor, I laugh at the darnest things but I love that tho cuz it's so unusual. Most ppl don't find most things I find funny to be funny but here I'll be cracking a rib or two, smh lol) so I thot "My kinda girl!".
Ahhh Oh also one of those I use to follow, found out she did get married, is preggo within the how many months I disappeared? Kai, see how much I missed being away and now she left Blogville for a little while *sad sigh*.. I hope she comes back soon tho, I really enjoyed her blog.
Anyway, my search continues... I am looking, you never know when I'll drop in in one of your post. Till then... off to more reading, seriously that Arewa girl is a trip, love her posts.
Oh and PS!
This terrible weather of New England is back ooo! with full force... what sort of rubbish is this? We didn't even have a summer so what the heck yo! mcheww. The freaking weather is in the 60s, it is terribly cold! I don't understand why I'm still here HISS*
This is rubbish... a princess like me is not suppose to be "chopping" this kind of cold and also be catching flu and what not (that is another story entirely)... let me just sit here with my two layers and think of wonderful warm weather in Naij
Ahhhhhhh-Mazing! :D

Oct 1: Hope for a better Nigeria
Nigeria celebrates her 49th years of freedom from the British, it's a good day to take pride in our country. I love my country and wouldn't trade her for another! I might adopt another but never can replace Nigeria ever and ever. I am noticing a lot of Nigerians, some of whom are friends of mine, bad mouthing Nigeria... my own is talk all you want, point fingers for all I care, it doesn't change the fact that you hail from there. She's yours forever! I don't care how far you run away from the land of your fathers, you still have our blood in you.
Infact, I'm tired of hearing our ppl (most esp my generation) complaining, analyzing/dissecting and comparing Nigeria to other nations! Shut up, just shut your stupid mouths... if you're not doing anything or planning to do something that will contribute to the "betterment" of Nigeria, all you want to do is sit your ass in Jand/Yankee and make noise (yes, it is noise to me, very irritating noise) then pls just shut up! do it in the privacy of your own bedroom, cause I don't wanna hear it... nonsense.
Stop the negative remarks and picking on Nigeria's shortcomings, instead how about you prophecy positives and hope for better tomorrow for us and generations to come. How about you join movements like the #LightupNigeria campaign (www.lightupnigeria.com)or better yet start a revolution, be the change you want to see... don't talk about it, be about it! Rome wasn't built in a day & def not by 1 person but with collective effort & I'm sure with patience as well. So let's take it one step @ a time, we will get there just have faith in her. Thank God for Democracy.
That said, I wish all the Nigerians near or far a very Happy Independence day! A change is coming, don't give up on Nigeria... let the negatives motivate you to bring about the change our beloved country needs. Remember "to be faithful, loyal and honest. Serve Nigeria with all my strength, defend her unity, and uphold her honour and glory.."
Nigeria, I wish you better governance, better policies. I wish you to be a better country in general cause I know you have the potential to stand tall among many other great nations... we are rooting for you! Happy 49th!

School... Have It Your Way.
I'm a lot tired these days, with school and work but I'm hanging in there even if it's by thread.
Hello Bloggers,
September is surely rolling away and I'm excited, I cannot wait till December is here!! There's a lot to look forward to, I'm making plans and hopefully God works in my favor as he always have.
Getting to school when I leave work @ 7am (as a gravenight shifter) is not an easy task. First of all, my school is (with no traffic) a good hour and thirty mins. Now that is a different story when I get on the road, during rush hour!!! Ahh, it is annoying and tiring, to the point where by the time I get to school, barely making the time for my first class, all I want to do is sleep. Which I have been doing these past couple of classes... I didn't go to class not cause I'm extraordinarily late, but because all it seems I do when I sit down in front of the professor is SLEEP! It's not cute!!
After much thinking and summing courage, I go to my 9:30 professor and tell him my problem. He hesitated to my request for a bit "errrr.. I don't know", but he gave in and now I don't have to come to class, all I have to do is report to his office @ 1pm with another student in the same situation as me, that way we're not missing anything from the class. I am soooooo relieved, so now I can take my time getting to school, and even have couple of hours to rest my eye!! God is indeedy awesome. So that plan is already in effect and Thursday is the first trial of my new schedule. Aside that everything is great!

My first week in September
Hello bloggers.
So my first week of September wasn't too bad. School started and so far so good, aside the transport I have to make down to school. A whole 2hr drive to and 1hr+ back, I mean at this point I'm starting to rethink working and schooling at the same time. I never had to do it, so doing it now is proving exhausting.. don't know how much longer I can do it. If you any advice for me, whether you've done it before (school and work) or know someone who has, I am so up for the comments.
So, last weekend one of my girlfriends got married! woohoo. It was a blast! I had fun with the other girls, although I missed some important part of the reception because I had to go pick someone up, I was still able to dance and mingle with others and after went back to her house and hung out with our friends and famz. Yep, that about sums up my labor day weekend. Oh also heard that Gani Faweyinmi died @ age 71, it was unfortunate and sad, I like that man... I met him before and my mom is a big fan of him, so it was no surprise when I texted her about the news that she immediately called me back (I found it funny tho lol, she refuses to learn how to text.. I need to teach tha woman how to do the whole texting/tech stuff). She said "wow, Nigeria just lost a very important person..."
This week has been awesome as well, so many birthdays it's like everyone and their mama (including mine) was born in september. Anyhoo, shoutout to my baby sis.. Happy birthday boo Love you xoxo. toodles.
PS, I've had this homework for this class since last thursday and yet to do it! OMG I do not miss school and procrastination is starting to kick in. HELP!

Wake me up, when September begins
Hi y'all.. okay this whole blogging business is no joke! How do you do it, please let a sister know! Cuz this is just ridiculous you know.. gone since February, talk about waking up in September, tsk tsk.
Updates? Well Ex-boy is history as of this moment and hopefully he stays that way, although something in me still wants to see him since I haven't set my eyes on him since like 3yrs back or something but who's counting right, lol I am. Just want to see him and slap him, then parade what he is missing and will NEVER in his life have. yup and then I can be happy forever LOL, at least in my mind that's what I hope.
Since the last time, I've "graduated" oo.. as in the Undergrad/First Degree was a tough one, no one told me this before hand so now it is my personal burden to help my younger siblings and cousins not to follow the same road I did. I could have soooo done better but I'm still thankful for where I am, I'm still yet to reach my potential but in due time.
As per the last gist, lol (I read it over and just laughed) bye gone are bye gone. At this point, he has bitten the tiger's tail and can never in his life contact me.. unless he wants eternal curse on him. I surely gave him a piece of my mind after he told me I was delusional when the discussion of the occasion that is caused the problem with us happened, I told him his whole generation is delusional... I am the wrong one mehn and he knows it now :) Mission Accomplished.
Right now, I'm just chilling, working and having a relaxed fun of my life, I don't deal well with stress. Work is good, Life is good, and Family is good, God is def good so nothing to complain about.
Till next time, have a happy new month.. ciao.

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!

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
Lastly b4 I close this post, God is good!!!! I'm not sure if I've said it enough but he is :) he never ever fails. Have a lovely evening MWAH.

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...

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!
Ahh, my exams result from last week came out today and boy! am I glad... my ACT class could have been better but really I CANNOT COMPLAIN God is good* I got more than the ppl I studied with and better than the last score *phew* thank goodness. 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.
I love you bro... many many more year will be added to you, you will continue to grow in wisdom! You will be a testimony and keep being the blessing that you are to our family. I am blessed to have you as a brother, I love you! I cannot wait till you get that driver's license in few weeks :)
Also a quick thankful note for my friend George, today is his 22nd birthday too and I'm appreciative to have met this wonderful human being. Louve you guys much!

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*
Laterzz alligators *smooches*
