TeTaNuS sHoT...

My people!!
How far now? How is everyone's week going?? I hope its great...mine is too

Errrrrrr, yup! Great, I said despite....
Going to the doctor's earlier today.

I've been in Yankee for five years and I never even smelt a hospital up until this year...
First my friend's mother had to sleep in the hospital for a day and we went to see her....

Guys, remember some postings down, when I told u I stepped on a nail? I thought that after the traditional applications stuvs, it will all be over... little did I know
So my foot kept hurting: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday - I got mad and prophesied to the leg, Thursday - I forgot I had an injury till late at night, then I looked down and saw the swelling with yellow stuff in it (ewwwwwwww!! I know) Was a bit alarmed so I called my Big sis.... big mistake!!
This chick started going off with all the dreaded threats. You know how older sisters are, I Love her very much though.... but she was talking about how I need 2 go 2 d hospital or else she'll make a call to Nigeria (I dread health talks from my mother and father.... the fear, the guilt and the final judgment)

Nway, i said i'd go... yeah right!!! As I hate hospitals, doctors, medicine...

Friday - my pops calls me at 7a.m - Here comes the lecture!! Ah Ahn!!! for like 5 - 10minutes, I love being doted on but oh boy come talk say I fit die! Then I became depressed and a bit upset, I'm like "so this people really think that threatening me and filling me with fear will make me go 2 d hospital, story!!"
Then my mother calls when the day really breaks, she's d nice one... at first. Did i say nice? I meant calm but she subtly put a large amount of pressure on me mehn, I no go lie. I was quiet all day.

Cut the long story a lil' bit short
-After she arrives I promise I'll go.... errrmmmm, excuse was I need a ride. She almost beat me yesterday for not going ah!!! Then I finally went 2day...

A.J and Neef went with me, before we got there YinkzPerricus was telling me an "easier" way to solve my problem. Catch a Cockroach, put it on the area and plaster it... hmmmmm. Nway, we were waiting for 3hours plus!!! Imagine!! We had a lovely conversation though, mainly re: Half a Yellow Sun, (will blog about this on a day I'm feeling Biafran) Just when I was delightedly about to cancel, reason: "I have to go back to work"

The doctor (my pop's friend) said they were ready 4 me. Ahn!! They INJECTED ME!!! Blogville, ME!!! A WHOLE ME!!!!! On my upper left arm, the doc had the nerve to smile and laugh!
I will have to do a conversational posting of the experience, since I've completely blabbed and rigmaroled on this one... Point is,
I have gotten my TETANUS shot.... have u gotten yours???
Lol, have a great night people and Stay Connected to God!!!!!
Peace, one love, something dey definitely happen!

HaRaJuKu StYlE...

Wish I had pictures to show y'all... HARAJUKU STYLE brought to you by Kelz and Neef was OFF THE CHAIN if you ask me!!

At the end of it, I thought I was going to cry!! She actually pulled it off. It was a huge success in that It actually held and people actually showed up and the models actually modeled and the dj was actually off the hook and people actually enjoyed the night.

Who would have thought? After ALL the hassles, doubt, harsh talk, silent beef, more doubt... who would have thought that this would be possible.
I learnt a HUGE lesson tonight, if you are determined to do something, with the right kind of support from God and whoever He sends, you CAN do it!!

Lets look at it this OTHER way: Young Diva's (Neef, but I love to call her Seun) first project was well, a first project like any other first project - lots of hitches, lil' bit of in-house disorganization, financial mishaps,etc etc... Depending on the set measurement of success, maybe even conviction of negative variation.
But i must commend my young friend because many just think of ideas but never implement them for fear of failure... or whatever else

Now to things that were done but could be done better next time (I truly learnt A LOT tonight)
- Firstly, draw up a tentative budget, including space for miscellaneous charges. Make sure your budget covers as much as possible and is feasible. Then, draw up capital and have cash in hand before proceeding.
- Secondly, be on the same page as your co-organizer ALWAYS!!
Preferably organize face to face meetings to ensure full clarity and do not implement changes without conferencing with your co-organizer.
- Thirdly, delegate ALL responsibilities beforehand and always have a back-up plan. Arrange for dedicated go-fers and reliable partners.
- Fourthly, to avoid an estranged situation, always maintain a positive attitude.
- Fifthly, if you try a certain tactic and the results are not favorable, try something else.
- Sixthly, Do not trust anyone entirely, make alternative arrangement. Strive for the best and don't totally expect the best from everyone.
- Lastly, smile, and be happy.

My dearest girl, I know you're going to read this... This is a BEAUTIFUL start for you and I know you are on to much GREATER THINGS... I can see it in your biography already...
" Her first production was Harajuku Stlye in July, 2007. This lovely lady has shattered the bars of fashion, modeling and fashion, she is enterprising, ambitious, focused, dedicated, aggressive, ............."

I'm off the sleep... gnite bville!

The LOVE OF MY LIFE!!

(with radio presenter voice) Now presenting to you fellow members of blogville....

THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!!!

My mommy just arrived with my lil' brother aka the love of my life!!!
The boy is sooo tall and handsome now, BUT he's skinny as i-dunno-what. I don't know if I looked that skinny when I went 2 boarding school but shoo, the boy lost mad weight!!! I hope he gains it ALL back before he goes back.

I've missed the lil' homie so mush mehn, we've got a lot of catching up to do on school boys... and girls (hehehehe) and the razz folk in our area. He insists on hanging his DSLite round his neck (a constant reminder that the only games i ever purchased for him are errmmm... more than 6 months old, lol)

My mother. GOD WILL BLESS HER FOREVER!!!!!! Gosh!!! I'm sure Adia and Omulu will concure mehn, dt lady is HAWT Fire!!! Apart from the fact that shes looking really good these days, she purchased MADDDDD stuff for us mehn as in not one, not two, not three but FIVE ankara dresses for just me oh, plus a lil' shirt dress and some jazzy blouse from my designer uncle. My sisters got maddd stuff too of course.

Then enter the food section... Okay no suya but this lady had the fried goat meat going, fried snails, kilishi, kokoro, GALA, my indomie (thats a constant), some Togolese snack, some hausa soft spicy groundnut thing (really can't remember what its called), akihausa (yes!!! who wuda thot?... brings back memories from Federal), FunTime Coconut chips, Chocomilo, Milo, stuff for making pepper soup, Papparazzi Magazine for Omulu (theres a pix of Tminx in it), Vicks Lemon Plus and they now have Apple Plus...imagine??? It tastes aiight though, Adia begs to differ, errrmmmm my babadudu (u know that locally made coconut sweet joint? And she made some Oha soup... Gosh I LOVE MY MOMMY!!!

May God continue to bless you for us and continue to put LOADS of money in your hand. You will never lack any good thing. You will NOT spend your money on sickness or death. The Lord will order your steps and place you high above all in Jesus Name, AMEN!!!

I'm sooooo happy!!! I have a busy week ahead of me but I know I'll be fine.
HARAJUKU Style has begun and I'm late but I'm on my way... of course I'll be rocking one of new Ankara outfits (Baltimore is NOT ready for this, lol)

SiLeNt BoMb stuvs...

Couple of things I need 2 let blogsville know...
I guess the most pressing is my current predicament...

"the release of intestinal gases through the anus" (now I feel fineboy's pain)

Okay, I really haven't consumed that much food today but my issues started with a can of coke, after church (i usually don't down dark colored sodas) Today was different, ask me why....

Nway, so it was a paddy's birthday yesterday and we all went out 2 eat today. There's no need to give off the names on the guest list, maybe some other time... Nway, before we got 2 Applebees, I was already having silent symptoms of non-toxic release - meaning no odor....
Until I consumed that spinach shrimp salad and a HUGE glass of virgin pina colada (i couldn't drink it all sef)... I must say, the salad was REALLY good it had bacon bits in the vinaigrette dressing... it was quite delicious.

As soon as I was done eating, I felt it... OH NO!! Not in the presence of these 5 PEOPLE!!! Then it slid out silently... still no odor... great!!
Okay so we all got outside and we started Part 2 - the gisting part of the evening, no signs of toxic stuvs (good good, I'm still safe)

All of a sudden after the final goodbye and brief argument on who was going to drive back, it was time to get in the car... the two gentlemen I was with made a quick joke and God knows it wasn't that serious BUT I made it a mini-big deal out of it ONLY BECAUSE I felt it AGAIN!!!

This one felt like a BIG one... there was no way I was getting in the car until I release...
Then I did.... it was peaceful, slight sound and MEGA TERRIBLE odor, lemme not go too deeply into it, but I lingered a little, then finally got it the car...

OH NOOOOOO!!! I smelt something and no one was speaking, I thought it was my silent bomb.... but we already left the parking lot!! Then I remembered someone had taken their food out cos. they couldn't eat it all, thats the smell I perceived!! Relief....
My rep is safe until one of them reads this....

Okay cos I'm in the mood, I gatta tell u guys what happened 2 me on Saturday!!!!
See my church had our annual picnic to honor 2007 Graduates!! My sister was one of them, thank you thank you MBA stuvs!!!! Shout Out 2 Omulu!!! I was SOOOOO proud of her!! Sorry, I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO proud of her!!! Yeah, EAT UR HEARTS OUT HATERS!!!!

Nway, so the picnic was fun, I busied myself with my lil' baby she's almost 2 years old. She's SUCH a sweetie!!! (Okay she's not mine mine but I love her sooo much, she's my choir director's baby) So, I gallivanted a lil', ate around a lil' then I decided 2 rest a lil'.
While resting, a church elder asked me to get something... Thats when YAWA GASSED!!!! BIG TIME!!

Oh boy, I DID NOT see that nail abi na thumb-tack, that joint went into my side heel so fast and see me tryna form fine babe, I dunno where the tears came from, Some man beside me just pulled it out. I didn't even see the person... that was just the beginning

I took a seat on a nearby bench nursing my leg, by now a mini crowd of concerned church members were around me asking whats up... Next thing, some mommies came and said they need 2 use a knife handle and hit on the spot!! Haba!!! I never see this kin thing b4 oh!!! Okay, I sha let them... It hurt and I managed.... still forming hot babe, mehn I was still wiping tears and swishing my hair to the side as I was sobbing bcos of pain...

Next thing oh, they said they need to perform some stuvs or else the next day I won't be able to walk!! "Ehn??? I must go 2 church 2morrow", I thought to myself.
Nway, one of the mommies came and explained that they will put hot knife and hot oil on the spot, it will pain me now but it will not pain me 2morrow... HOT KNIFE AND HOT OIL ke????
lol, they said it will pain me TO MY BRAIN!!! but its only temporary.... I don't think I understood the full meaning until I saw the smoking knife!!!

See Exorcist moves mehn, I was WAILING and SERIOUSLY STRUGGLING in front of all the fyne brothers and sisters that cared to watch the drama. I don't even know who and who was holding me... THAT JOINT WAS PAINFUL!!!!! Jesus!!!! Mehn, I have never seen this type of thing in my life!!!
After I fought and fought, they said "the knife is cold", IMAGINE??? They went to heat it up for round two with the oil!!! Another one????

See me begging!!! I said no, its okay... I'll be fine... Lai lai, all these nurses and mommies HELD ME DOWN and put the HOT oil... No more ajebutter in this, the tears were just flowing I didn't even bora 2 wipe it, until they finished HA!!! My God!! One of my choir sisters now cleaned it with alcohol and put a band aid on it...
I don't think I can EVER forget that experience in my life!!! Chai!!! Its all good sha, my left foot is healing now, I still afraid to place it fully on the floor cos it still hurts a lil'. I still haven'yt prayed on it, I'll do that tonight...

Meanwhile, Peace Out blogville... I'm expecting my moms and the love of my life this week so I'm soooo excited.

For some reason I've been feeling extremely cynical lately about my recent mortal surroundings, and things have been physically falling into place to further buttress or reinforce my feelings (they're slowly becoming beliefs... as in truths....) Will blog about it later.....

Have a GREAT WEEK blogville!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God will be with you all

My TeStImOnY!!

There was a time when I used to struggle (concerning certain issues) with the lil' green eyed monster Ugo once blogged about...

It was a terrible period.
I prayed and prayed and prayed for it to go away, it seemed like it never would
Me
Being the ever supportive, guiding, listening light;
All around me failed to see the darkness that was eating from within
Oh, I suffered incredulously
You suffered too,
Only you didn't notice cos the green eyed monster wasn't yours to fight

Finally,
I detached myself
unconsciously first, then mentally, physically
Enough to admit
that this wasn't the me I wanted to be

It was confusing, I tell you...
The time when the monster would rear its ugly head
It was a confusing situation
Because he would force me to question -
the lives of my colleagues, contemporaries
As if we were born on the same day
As if our destinies are to compete
he forced me to place myself on a level so low
A facade of a pedestal of where I ought to be -
emotionally, and financially, and mentally, and socially, and ...


Today, I testify that I'm -
F.R.E.E
Free of the nagging ugly fellow
telling me to weigh, compare, contrast and --
Lapse into a momentary state of "un-nwando-ness"

I am F.R.E.E
because I am basking in contentment
As warm as I want it to be
I know I am in control
Because
I am not fidgeting
Not twisting my fingers or stammering
Not irritated at the sound of his laugh, her squeal
Not dealing with that old be-S

I am F.R.E.E
to stand, scrutinize, love, laugh, suggest
I am F.R.E.E enough to
be considerate, unselfish, genuine, unhateful, true
F.R.E.E enough to be conscious enough to
help you - who needs to hear my Testimony...

...aFtEr 7 DaYs

After 7 days, I decide to write more about my KoNfUsIon...
After 7 days, a lot has changed
After 7 days, I've been through soul searching, soul searching and resolve
After 7 days of comparison, reflection, maybe regret
After 7 days of admonishment, maybe punishment
After 7 days, I am still KoNfUsEd but S.U.R.E that...
After 7 days, I have one conclusion and I will NOT change it after 7 days

Okay, this is for all the concerned readers of my blog. Lemme start by saying I TRULY appreciate ur nosiness and concern hehehe...

Okay so, I was confused (was I?) about two certain fellas ...both fully MM and professing M (scroll down to see what the code means lol), but both also have certain qualities that could immediately X them from the M equation.
We are talking about spirituality, family background, errrrmmmm maybe physical appearance (including speech, toucheness vs razzness), talents, personal goals, etc etc.

I tackled my momentary confusion by dealing first with what is most importnat to me at this time concerning spending the rest of life with someone (of course I was greatly influenced by the marriage seminar at my church and the experiences I have had in my life so far)...


1. Man must be SPIRITUAL!! As in, its not a joke at all. I want someone who is SPIRITUALLY MATURE I know nobody is perfect but I can't be co-captain of a boat with a captain who leaves all the steering for me, Nope!! No can do!!! I DO NOT want any form of mediocrity regarding this matter and I WILL NOT settle. Its almost like I'm warning myself but I do know that I hate Satan and the devil certainly does not like me. So as much as these two brothers are all that and some more - physically, mentally, financially and so forth, they also GATTA be all that spiritually too. Bible talk say, "Son of Man, know thyself!" Dude must know himself VERY WELL and I must know too!
While I don't know too much about spirituality and my current potentials. I am very willing to find out.

2. All the other things come in second, so while I am not limiting myself to a focused, dedicated, hardworking, u-are-my-everything, Daddy-look-alike (it'll be nice if he had all my pop's good qualities) fella. I am also very wary of mistakes...

So I'm not so confused anymore. I am actually at peace, content and chilling.
I pray for Patience and God's leading as I continue in this valley of MM toasters... I also pray against the spirit of Error in my life and the lives of all of us!! God be with us all!!!! AMEN!!


MM - (if u didn't already figure it out) Marriage Material
M - Marriage
