Christmas!

The most wonderful time of the year, Christmas, is here again! I'm in the Christmas mood, are you? I've already started giving out Christmas cards and spreading the Christmas cheer.  Spent last holiday working. This year I plan on having an amazing holiday. I'll be volunteering at a respite home, helping out at Mey's Kitchen and later on going on a trip with friends.  Last week I went shopping for trimmings and ornaments to put on my desk at work. Got myself a cute snow man. Say hello to my little...

Re's Wish List 2012

Ré's day comes up this Wednesday on the 28th of November and I'm looking forward to it. I love birthdays, mine especially! Feel like it's my own new year, my own January 1st happens on the 28th of November. Somebody set off the fireworks! :-) Looking back at the past year, I'd say things have been pretty great. I've made a couple of dumb (very very foolish) mistakes and but thank God, I've learnt from them.  I'm proud to say I have achieved all my visions for this year apart from one thing which...

Talk!

I published this post and then I deleted it because it stirred concern amongst my friends and offended some people. Now I'm publishing it again because the truth is we all need to express ourselves one way or the other. Plus it was my first angry post. Let it be. I’m the type of girl who keeps her mouth shut. Almost like I only speak unless I’m spoken to. You know how they say “the walls have ears”? Well I’m a wall just sitting there and soaking it all in. Now this wall is ready to crack. I hate to see people disappointed or hurt so rather than express how I truly feel, I just keep quiet. Even when people...

Love Thyself

Sometimes I feel really down and then I get into a mood that I can't get out of. I find it really hard to even smile. The thing is I have a thousand and one reasons . . . scratch that, a million and one reasons to be happy. Yet I let just one silly little thing get me down and start doubting myself. Woke up this morning and decided to stop beating myself up. I thought of all the adjectives people had used to describe me in this week and felt good :-)! Precious                ...

Who Promised You Tomorrow?

Who promised you tomorrow? Who told you it was yours and you could have it just like that? Causally throwing around 'tomorrow's day' in conversations.  See you tomorrow, Talk to you tomorrow, Call me tomorrow, Email me tomorrow, Why not today? Who promised you tomorrow? It's not just another day, It's totally different from today,  Extremely different from today. If it can be done today, Why tomorrow? Who promised you tomorrow? Sitting there dreaming about tomorrow, A tomorrow...

The Wedding Crasher

Don't really like going for weddings except I know the bride or the groom or family or something. Nigerian weddings always have a way of turning into carnivals. I hate crowds. Dear Future Husband, I'm all up for a destination wedding, I want to be able to remember every thing that happens on that day and share it with only our family and real friends. (Am I selfish for this?) A year ago, I went to a friend's sisters wedding on the mainland, from there my friends decided to go to another wedding on the Island. And I agreed to tag...

I'm Back!

Hi beautiful people! How’s everyone been? Haven’t blogged in a few weeks. And I do feel bad about it. I’ve been writing though, but not blogging.

Been lost in thought. Busy planning the future. You know how you make plans and you are so sure everything would go your way . . . *sigh. But...

Between The Lagos Government & The Doctors

My younger sister 'Hurricane K' is currently studying medicine at the University of Lagos Teaching Hospital. I'm so proud of her. Every time she comes home she's always using us her family members as lab rats; diagnosing this and that. I remember when she learnt to give injections, sister was always threatening us that she would give us injections imagine! Even though she's a twin, she's the baby of the house. In the next three years she'll be a medical doctor and people will start calling me 'Egbon doctor'...

Why I Love The Water

Whenever I’m stressed, there are different things I do to relax myself. There's: *Junk Food therapy: Pringles, Ribena, Coke and Chocolate (in any form). *Retail Therapy (Not necessary clothes, maybe a book or even a hair scrunchie) *Water Therapy A couple of weeks ago, I was so stressed about Lord knows what, anyways, I decided to engage in some water therapy, so I got my friend Ese, went to buy a large cup of ice cream and went to the beach at 7:25pm! Have any of you guys been to the Bar beach in Victoria Island before?...

Let's Try Something New

Been busy living life and enjoying every minute of it. Believe it or not, this sister is letting her hair down (I really am). Haven't done anything exciting yet (meaning I'm going to do something outrageous real soon); I like to entertain myself. Asides from work, I've been busy investing in myself and learning new stuff. Took acting classes three, four weeks ago. I'm not thinking of becoming an actress but I've been told that to be a good presenter, you've got to be a good actor. While at I was at broadcasting school, I kept being...
