Finally

First just to say am addicted to blogging already and have been stalking voice mails and blogs waooo where have i been. And second i'm into it so much NOW cos i must confess been jobless (isnt that obvious) as in i actually have a kponkios job o(serious), but since i started havent gotten a single brief. Just doing articles and stuff that i will publish on my blog when the time is right.

Today some strange sweet and bitter things have happened.

The managing partner is on his way out huraaaaaaaaaay! i'll get to go home early - its really frustrating how we have to stay put here chilling till 7 or 8pm i mean not just because my contract says 6pm which i find very unnecesary, but that fact that we r just sitting doing NADA.
We Finally Finally got a brief am so elated(praise Jesus s my girl Life of a stranger would say), worth millions and millions you'll think its my company, i guess its good to be paitent or what i dunno, but am off to Alausa to the Lands registry tomorrow so finally yours trully will stop being so obviously JOBLESS and leave home at maybe 9 as opposed to 6am.

Now the bitter sour

My dear colleague resigned (sobbing gently) am going to miss u Mr I cos i actually tot .. neways the guy got a job that would pay him about 10x what he earns here, if its me sef....

Then finally

I just got back from Bank O. Hummm just as i read from some of the blogs i stalked today, we women we can hate o. As i walked into the bank you know me and how wonder i feel actually with my little skirt to show of my 2nd best asset after my teeth/smile of course..........MA LOVELY LEGS! . Back to the gist b4 i get carried away - i see this heavily clad girl and ask her for the nice guy that i met yesterday that was secretly filrting with a married woman imagine!
Ok heres the gist i walked in feeling nice, the guy that was supposed to help me open my accunt for some shady or would i say risky "investment" i will gist u all about soon maybe when i've been paid my "millions" (winks a trend in Lagos o). You can tell the babe was intimidated by ordinary me, she asked me to wait for the guy who apparently went to Apapa b4 my account can be opened, I explain how i have to get back to work and she goes "am veri buzie" wat!!! with all the baffs?? anyway thats off point again. I being the sweet woman i am asked her nicely to photocopy my docs and keep for the guy. She shouts at me ... cant remember her exact words cos i trully wasnt vexed. I remind her i am a customer that she should send someone to photocopy the documents. Ok her boss is probably used to silent girl fights so he comes to my rescue and yes asks her to get someone to do it. I sit down nicely and of course - then guess what??? this is y i concluded
she brings out her make up bag (yes i was looking cos i was shocked) pours out all her make up so i can see, all i made out was the mac liquid foundation cos thats nice and starts making up. Na wa o - i dont want to go on and on but did i by some small chance intimidate this Lagos Chicala? I mean it wasnt closing time and she obviously wasnt going anyway, seeing she claimed to be busy.

Thats that no more details will talk about the "investments" later i promise. For now yours truly is going home and yes am driving with the L sign and my DH in the passenger side am sure he'll be teasing me tire i hope i make it.

Robin Thicke - Lost Without You

Wonder

Awwww Robin Thicke

Ok i admit and hope am ok, am just so in love with this guys "Lost without U" from his album the Evolution of Robin Thicke. Been humming it all week (still am in fact been blasting it in my uptight office!). Everyone's surprised and you can imagine the looks they have on their faces.

Ok this guy has been into music and related stuff since 2000 from what i have read, cant believe i havent discovered he did this song i have been loving since the radio station started blasting it in 2006.

To cut the long story short he was born in 1977, Used to perform under his surname alone Thicke before now. His evolution began in 2005! My song "Lost without U" is actually a ballad and he has sung it on American Idol and OPRAH!!! (Waooo great minds think alike).

"Lost Without U" became Thicke's first number one hit on the R&B singles chart and he became the first white male artist since George Micheal to top the chart. He appears in the music video of this single with his Hoooooooooooooooooot wife Paula Patton.

Ok and finally.....................

My birthday is in 2 weeks (Winks but still humming )

Lost without u, can't help myself.................

How does it feel....... to know that i love you babe...... (to listen click on link by the side on my blog)

Me Driver?

God has made everything beautiful in his own time Eccl 3:11.

Thats my bestest verse in the bible, i recite it at all times when things are going well or not. Especially when i've been delayed, disappointed, denied etc etc. Ok so maybe i should recite it and in fact meditate it with regards to my driving, cos it's getting serious afterall desperate times require desperate measures.

Dunno if am a block head or something is wrong. Am actually surprised cos i'm one of those effico pple. You know never failed an exam before, brilliant, bright, sharp (yeah yeah ) anyway thats what my dad made me believe. But this driving has exposed me. Started to learn initailly over 10 years ago, then cooled down when i realised there would be no car for me to even test how much more drive, seeing my parents didnt have time for such games - if u can drive then drive if u cant, driver or they will carry u) no strories..... Then i started again 5 years ago, i cant believe i actually paid for driving school anyway, after 5 lessons or so i was certified and given a license unfortunately my excuse was "still no car cos i had moved away from home".

Everyone says remove fear, be determined etc my friend even said if her sister can drive then anyone can, dunno what that means. Its really frustrating cos now to the glory of God the car excuse cant be used again o. Is it me? is something wrong? My learners permit has expired (and it lasts for 3 months) still i dont even have the guts to move the car out of my compound how much more DRIVE. Even yesterday after fellowship a lovely man had to keep his babies waiting just to drop me at home imagine!

I dunno who is after me ! but i have resolved to telling myself that in His time i will drive even thugh i knw this my favorite verse may not apply here.

Help wanted Or am i on the right track, there must be a beautiful time for me to learn?

Reality Bites...

Background
Am an ibo gal for life and have plans of teaching my kiddos the ibo way o! But reality is DH na Edo!!!!! (yes and dont worry about all those things we heard about bini people and their ways, i think its just fiction, they can be sweet).

Ok i've never been hot on inter tribal marriages/ relationships, must confess still am a bit confused about how i landed into to mine, if i wasnt a Kings kid, i would have said na the .......... i wont say it out loud, (u want my inlaws to find my blog and........................... ). just messing around (incase they do actually find my blog). Anyway i guess am still in denial but something happened today -

And it hit me, you must know about the not so famous strikes and general country in distress transition we're going through in Nigeria right now. We're going to be grounded from tomorrow and i actually had no intentions of getting out of bed today.

Anyway the nation seems to be going gahgahs, with this NLC 's threats and warning businesses such as the one i work for not to open up tomorrow etc, DH and urs truly were going on about how we'll spend tomorrow in doors playing love then out of the blues he goes "worse case we go go village go stay" that really got me thinking, then it hit me........ and where is this village? hummmmmm i si gini?

These people (NLC) had berra respect themselves cos for me village na Nkwerre Opia Egbe o anyday. Maybe am still in denial and what was i even thinking - that we are lagosians or maybe in my mind that we are janded sef?????

Wonder..........ful

" I am a wonder unto many; but thou art my strong refuge" (psalm 71:7)

After reading this scripture and with the help of my baba in heaven i finally decided to do something about my pimples and my face. Haba O gini? I mean i have used Clarins tire, Elizabeth Arden, Clean and Clear, Neutrogena even ncha nkoto (black soap) and back in my hay days anything u can name that was sold in the market one of my friends once asked me to use egg white!!!!!!!!!!!!!all for beauty.

Ok so i walk into this fancy v.i beauty place and am charged a hand and a leg cos "i have stubborn spots and black heads" hummmmmmmm i didnt even think twice and decided to give it a go since i want to be a physical wonder....... also (something we used to do when i was growing up, we had short names for everything, wonder.. wonderful, Love - Lovely etc) and life is for the living abi.

This lady asks/insists that i stop using my fancy and safe clarins after i had just bought myself a different range of morning and night creams (those people sef waoooo its amazing they will soon make early afternoon, mid day and late afternoon etc cream, na wa o) and prescribes some smelly medicated soap and that i apply fresh pineapple and orange juice on my face at night and am thinking so i'll wake up with ants on my face ehr?

Initially it was hillarious, but upon all my shakara and yabs i give it a go, and go by all the rules, change my diet,go in religiously for facials and the big one keep my foundation, concealer and blot powder (exposed!!!!!!!! yes i clog all these on my face, thats the secret of my beauty b4) and i do miss my foundation cos people have been asking me whats up as if i was ill. Ne ways its day number 10 today and i wake up to my dh's hands stroking my wonder.. face (winking) and i was excited cos i must confess that's a first i must really be looking love. Anyways am willing to share my beauty secret cos my face is cleared but i must warn you the soap dey stink o! you really dont need to go into that fancy beauty place. Even though am not looking forward to ending my sessions and yea i do rub the pine apple on my face yikes!!! Dont know if its a combination of everything that has cleared the face, but i give that smelly soap kudos.

Had a love... weekend and went around with this wonder thought in my mind then on saturday even carried myself to the gym something i hadnt done in a whole year. The Scipture encouraged me to look at my physcial body, am sorted and a wonder.
