SpaaaaaaaaaaaaaOUCH!

It's OFFICIAL!!!

I have street credibility. Read on to find out why...

Yesterday was going for the final stage interview at an Investment Bank. Had done the test, passed. Done the first interview, passed. So i was to meet the partners for 9am. So I woke up at

5.30, showered, dressed up and managed to mess around with my hair till 6.50. then i screamed at my mum's driver till 7 am and we set off. I entered one useless traffic or the other till i found myself at iyana-oworo (before 3rd mainland) at 8.30! My interview was in Ikoyi. I started bbing people frantically, what should I do. My bestie said I should get recharge card and call them and say i'm running late, my other friend is like take a bike. I'm like moi? bike? please what is that? So i'm looking for the credit people to no avail when my other friend bbmed me and said that there was an accident on 3rd mainland and the road was blocked. It was like 8.45 at this point. I put the window down and started looking for okada. Like 5 minutes later one was coming and i screamed OKADA at the top of my lungs, he stopped.

The time had come. Told the driver, "meet me at the place i went yesterday in ikoyi". And i got out of the car. In my suit, carried my bag, crossed the road and told the okada man "since they gave birth to me I haven't entered okada, I have an interview and i'm late. please take it easy"

That was how i found myself on a bike on 3rd mainland o! the wind in my air, the cold air burning my fingers, legs ashy as hell, my black suit sef start to dey look ashy. omo! i suffer!

I got there at 9.15, not too bad. Sat down and waited... the interview gist go be anoda day sha... so. yea. street cred. respect the gangsta!

Its my bday tmrw!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, i'm really not that excited about it but watevs. I got a basic cake, very basic, mani, pedi, got me hair did!!!!!!!! another weave, this one spanish! i'm officially a human-hair freak. this is my 3rd major purchase, one more for Christmas and i'm done... here's a pic

Going out for drinks tomorrow after early dinner with my family. It's gonna be a very intimate birthday, no clubbing or anything too out there. just my closest buddies and my cousin and one toaster at a new bar in VI.

so i got a facial yesterday, home service. everything was nice and dandy till she started the extraction. it was soooo painful like to the point of tears. GEE! must everything in this country be so hard?

to T, K, riverine, hausa boy, policeman son, and the remaining toasters, performance is key tomorrow! i can't shout!

HAPPY 24TH TO ME!!!!!

7 WHOLE years ago I was 17 and that makes me feel kinda old. But then I wouldn't trade all my life experiences for anything! I'm so proud of the woman i have become and I pray that this next year God will do even greater things. Plus, who wants to be a teenager again?!?!!

24 never looked so good!

Sweet Reunion

I had a huge fallout with riverine some 3 weeks ago and since then we have been civil (because of our mutual friend) but I took him off my bb, childish I know, but its my damn 5k a month!

Anyways, yesterday he sent me a text saying "I miss you, the crazy erratic you". I just rolled my eyes and ignored.

Then he added me back on bb and the message was "I'm done fucking off, are you? :)"

I'm like awww that's so sweet and before I could decide on what to do with the request, he called. I picked up and he called me the petname he gave me (which is so cute by the way) and I was like awww. We talked for a while and ironed out our issues. Then I added him back. And we are back to our random, mindless chatting.

I like a man that can apologize with style.

T will just scatter the whole matter till I'm dizzy. Sometimes all a girl needs is for a man to just say I'm sorry.

Speaking of T, that one had the nerve to be upset because of a random pic of me and his friend on facebook and be having attitude. I left him there to simmer abeg I don't have time. I don't even like the guy I took the pic with as a person so how we got so close is beyond me. Must be the aromatic hydrocarbons.

I don't have much gist today, my birthday is next week!!! I'll be 24!

T is coming in some 4 weeks! I don't know what will come out of us but I can't wait to jump his bones, either way. A girl be lonely!
And cold and horny! (I know its the tropics but watevs, I need an excuse). I'm cold I'm cold I'm cold!!!

Have a nice weekend. I think I'll just do drinks and head home early tomorrow, I have work on saturday. There's one coded spot in VI where they have the hugest snails in the whole world, I have to tell you about it later.

In the car in traffic on my way from work when my friend said one guy from the wedding 2 weeks ago has been disturbing her for my bb pin. I asked a few background questions and said ok give it to him.

Sucker just added me and his bb pic is so FUGLY I'm laughing so hard (my driver must think I'm crazy).

Just called my friend who MAINTAINs the guy is cute but I'm cracking up.

He's asking all these questions on bb and I keep enlarging the picture and laughing. I hope I don't choke else I have to drink this hot viju milk in the car eeeewwwww.

Who asked you?

Ode ode ode (fool fool fool)! Who asked you who you like? Bobo to ma n pe e lati london yen lojojumo kilode ti o se fe? (Why don't u date the guy that's always calling you from london?) Omo ibeji yen lo fe ta si (its the twin you are busy liking). Does he call you everyday? You better marry the one that likes you more. Who asked you who you like? Omo olopa yen ti nife e ju, o ma toju e (the policeman's son loves you too much, he will take care of you). I've said my own. We don't want the twin. Emi o gbodo ka psalm ki o to lo si ile oko (I don't want to have to be reading psalm before you find a husband).

Running Around

My minds running everywhere, maybe if I put some of it down I can find sleep

Last Friday I was violent towards a certain someone. It wasn't an issue cuz he knew he asked for it, he even apologized after the 2 bundles of violence, but stillllll.....damn. I don't want that to EVER happen again

T and I... Still very confused. Had a fight today over nothing and told him to eff off and then he called and we spoke about it. Hard headed doesn't even begin to describe T.

T and I fight a lot. He has 'a lot' on his mind. Nucca if u don't tell me how I'm supposed to know? So when me I'm talking about why I'm upset he goes all "arewa you don't even know what I'm going through, if you did you will feel sorry for me"

We'll go ahead and say it then! Only, he tells T2 everything so no need to tell the woman, he doesn't tell me anything. In a fit of anger I told him to get a boyfriend since he can't deal with female emotions.

I got my eff you at that point...

I'm so confused. And he's coming soon. I'm not gonna stop going on dates. T is not my boyfriend so he will be ok. I'm not doing anything physical, just ensuring that all my eggs are not in one basket.

And next time one of his knuckle-head friends reports me and he calls me I'm telling him yes T I'm on a date. Trying to find someone that can deal with my erratic ass since you are too cool to do the needful.

I have so much time on my hands. So a lot of time to worry about him. I don't want to compare him with anyone else. I don't want T no to be 'the one'. I don't want to have to start from scratch with someone else. But sometimes he's so nonchalant I don't get it. Especially when I get upset, he just goes somewhere else or say something stupid likeim moving to france.

My bestie thinks I should give him redcard. But in my heart I just miss him so much. Want him to get back already so we can sit in his room and watch yoruba movies, have ice cream and make out nonstop like the old times. Why is everything so iffy and complicated? The suspense is killing me. My stomach went crazy the day he left and now he's almost back I'm almost sicker. I just want everything to be ok. Is that too much to ask?

I. Refuse. To. Cry

Gonna try for sleep now

Wknd Business

I did nothing but abuse my feet all week so I'm where I belong, with my feet in water getting a pedi! I need some flats men!

So this older woman came here with her hubby and they're all so lovey dovey. Honey do you like this nail polish color.? The man too is forming like he knows a damn thing about colors and he's like yea its beautiful. How sweet! Love is lovely!

I'm tired of T's friends hitting on me. And I'm putting the blame on him. Its so sick cuz I'm like in between not wanting to be rude to his friends but I want them off my balls.

I find myself constantly around them cuz my besties bf/husband is T's childhood friend so whenever we go out all his friends are there. They start out being friendly and then it just goes downhill from there.

Was at a wedding yesterday (or 4!!), looking like a million dollars, if I may say so myself, and all eyes were on me! At one point L's bf was like I'm scared why is everyone looking at you. Oya pick the one you want out of all the men here. He was probably joking but me I looked round and I'm like errr that one. He's like he's half white o, I said I want I want! Lol. Turns out that one was there with his gf. I picked another one that apparently is a weed head so I said nah, I'll pass. Then I sighted him. Sexy, dark, tall, bald sturvz. I'm like I want him. L's bf is like he doesn't live in lagos, he's only here for the wedding, I said bring his ass on over!

Met him, talked for a bit, he was flirting with me when I spotted LBB in a sexy suit looking ready to eat. Yepa, I quickly turned and discharged newbie, walked to where L was seated. Shit shit shit LBB is here. She's like daaaaaaamn he's hot! I'm like ode are we not supposed to be over him? Anyways, moving on....

The kind of drama I had on friday doesn't have part 2 walahi... It started with a ping (need to rid myself of this bb sef)

Countdown to T's return is on. But there is a catch. Will let you know soon...

xx

Arewa, still tryna decide if I wanna go on a date with the newbie. Before T's police will catch me.

Getting Caught

If you cheat on a test, you have no business getting caught



Same thing if you go funny on your 'guy', no need to get caught, it's so messy (not like I'm saying its OK to go funny o, infact refrain from such)



Well yours truly got caught on friday



DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN DAMN!



ARRRGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! I invented this game damn!



So after dropping my daughter/sister off at home I packed my stuff for the girls night out and proceeded to the island.

I met up with a character I will name X (because I am about to x him in a few days), we saw the ugly truth, HILARIOUS! vibrating pant anyone? :)

So after that we went to have a drink at some spot in VI. I was kinda in a rush so we sat at the bar and ordered our drinks.

T randomly sent me a message

You are on a date abi?

I replied

No i'm out with my girlfriends, why? wassup?

Next thing I know he called me. I told him my friends and I were having a girls night and I wasn't on a date bla bla.

He's like OK say T I love you.

X (the date) was talking to the bar guy so I quickly said T I love you and blew him a kiss.

Then he's like OK. Have fun. Bye.

So i thought it was sorted and I met with my girls after and went out. Partied up!!! It was too mad. No collecting numbers from guys or anything, just proper wasted young women having a wild time! I loved it.

So Saturday about 8 pm it occurred to me that I hadn't spoken to T the whole day! Ha! BABY DADDY MI!!!

I quickly logged on facebook. He was online. I started the conversation

Hi

u. very upset.

What did I do?

you went on a date

Me? I told you I was out with my girls, you will see the pictures on facebook soon

lol

What's funny

Liar. that's what's funny. My friends saw you.

*gulp, i didn't want to jump*

Where?

XYZ. that's why i asked you. Why did you lie?

*MO MA DANRAN!! I was desperate so I did the needful. MO DA SI ROUGH (translation: reverse psychology baby)*

Since when did people start going on dates and sitting on bar stools? Your friends that are feeding you gist did they not see my friends on the table? I just went to have a chat with my guy friend that was waiting for traffic to go down.

Why did you lie?

I didn't lie! Just didn't want you to get erratic. Would I tell you I love you on a date?

OK. I'll be back in a month can you just behave yourself till i get back?

I have been behaving! Baby we can't be listening to friends, that's the beginning of the end (which is so true).

An hour of webcamming and the matter was settled ;)

OK. That was effing close. I really like T and I'm not ready to lose him over some retarded shit (even though it's not like he is innocent, but i can't shout) but Lagos is small so......................I hereby quit the life. I QUIT THE LIFE!

I'm sending a memo to all my assistant main squeezes and minor misjudgements, THE SHOW IS OVER!

But riverine is so cute. *sigh*

It's so hard to be a serial dater I tell u!

For those that expressed confusion over my last post, here's a quick refresher

T: My main squeeze. My future husband (if he behaves). I met him a year ago in Lagos. He is currently in london but will be moving back later on. I totally love him even though he is a drama king! We have the happiest and most simple moments together. Sometimes I think it's puppy love but I swear I totally want to marry him. He can get me to do almost anything and I can get him to do same. now isn't that what love is about :)

LBB: 3 plus years of knowing this man nothing to show. The feelings I have for him are like explosive. We either want to kill each other or rape each other. Very sad. He appears and disappears at will. Now he is back, only God knows why. My bestie thinks we are perfect for each other. I say he is full of issues!

Riverine Hottie: Hot and yellow sturvzzz! Known him for a while too. He is my best friends best friend. Yep, I know. Shouldn't have gone there. She is traumatized. We keep it simple for her. We are good friends, no crazy feelings. I'll dismiss it as a crush. We flirt non stop on bb.

X: As the name suggests.

So I will be sending out the memo to all the concerned fellows and I will sit at home and wait for T.

It better be worth it.
