I Siddon My Own Jeje...

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.

Hey its something to keep me occupied in this demented traffic!

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.

I'm a mother!!

Being a mum is so hard; I totally just realized it (shout out to all the mothers!)

My mum conveniently chose my time of joblessness to quickly travel so I am doing mummy duty for my sister.

OMG!

It’s not easy o. We are full of activity. Shower at night, do homework, eat. Wake up at 5.40, make her lunch, wake her up at 6. Shower, cream her body, vest and matching pant, frilly socks, lotion, brush the hair, shoes, rice krispies for breakfast, pack lunch, drop her off in school. Arrive house at 7.30 feeling used and abused. Let’s not even go into the afternoon activities.

I have to tell riverine I’m not interested in the yellow babies after all. Ok, at least for now. Not with riverine sha. I digress. (how is riverine? He’s very fine, I put him in the cooler, fear not)

Last Friday I lived! We define living in my close circle of friends as doing the exact thing you’ve wanted to do but couldn’t get up to because you have shame. So on Friday I had no shame in short.

You already know this has to do with LBB right?

5 o’clock bb messages left right and center. Ms erratic what are you up to and the likes. We were going back and forth fighting (what else?). He sha asked to take me out to eat. I said ok.
He picked me up. I was looking nice in a tight cleavage flaunting maxi. I introduced him to my friend and we set off. Got into an argument in the car over something and I just kept quiet. I’m tired of fighting that fool walahi. As soon as his punk ass open the door for me and I stepped out he freaking carried me all the way to the entrance of the place. Like WTF? (OK, I enjoyed it but he doesn't have to know that *wink*) Anyways, I had my jack and coke and small chops and he was eating and drinking as well and we started asking questions about how everything between us is retarded.

You know how you tell a man to be totally honest? I don’t think I was ready for the truth o. Homeboy is seeing someone else… I said ummm ok, why am I here? We are friends? He’s like why are you not my girlfriend? You must be a fool. So me I rounded up and told him to drop me off at L’s. My friend D was waiting on me we had a double date in VI.

So we went to VI and then L and her bf came to meet us up there. I had told D about the nonsense LBB was saying and she’s like maybe you should give him a chance. That one is just a silly hippie.

LBB no gree me rest on my date o. He was messaging and me too I was replying like a fool to the point where my date seized my phone!

I had 2 glasses of red wine and like half of L’s cocktail…and asun. I was stuffed. Anyways we went back to L’s house and us 3 girls were watching afrimagic and just having a laugh. It’s like 11.30 when LBB text that do I want to go out he’ll pick me up. I was telling L and D that look at this one thinks I’m stupid, go to where at this time? So I replied him.

Few minutes later L takes a good look at me and said YOU STUPID FOOL, he’s on his way abi? I nodded and they pounced on me. D is freaking outtalking about, "He’s a muslim! Muslims are not normal (that is the most random thing I’ve heard in my life I swear). Where are you going?" Caliente ;)

L is like D, leave her alone, a sha live (she has to live). He got to L’s about past 12 and I sashayed out. Fun times.

*****************
Few days ago D’s mum and I were bullying her over her ibo mini-boyfriend. Her mum is like chu kinni? Before he says the kwu after the chu I will set the dogs on him. I was laughing my behind off when I heard D say, “what about you and your muslim husband?”

Needless to say things went downhill from there. PARENTALS!

In other news, please you guys that enter okada for leisure abeg desist from such till these ember months are over. This is the 2nd dead okada driver I’m seeing on the road, in less than a week, with a helmet on. It’s so sad. The first one was on 3rd mainland with a helmet on his head, only the head wasn’t attached to the body anymore. It’s so traumatizing I tell u. After dropping my sis this morning again I saw another one on ikorodu road. I pray none of us or our families will lose our lives in these times, IJN. Please be careful.

Message from T last sunday: I hate you and I never want to speak with you again.

Emotional much?

Enjoy ur weekend!

xx

Arewa, mummy duty or not I’m rocking tonight!

p.s. I’m passing out of NYSC on Tuesday next week!!

p.p.s. I’m the biggest FAFFER in lagos at the moment. I have on speed dial, D (my fellow faffer), my maid, the pizza people and the driver. I think i'm gaining weight *gasp* Very sad!

Vulnerable!

When you meet a man and get pregnant for him less than three months into your 'friendship' you have put yourself in a vulnerable position..

Your life, at that point, really depends on what the man decides to do (especially if you are pro-life).

Same for leaving your well-paying job to move to a new place with your husband.

I've seen men step-up and just handle business to the point where i'm like wow

I think the test of true love is how much you trust your SO. Can you knowingly put yourself in a situation where he has the power to make or break you? Do you totally trust this person?

Maybe i'm just young and inexperienced... But lately I've been craving a kind of love that allows me to just live... to lose myself

Don't want to have to watch my back or anything. I want to be myself, to be trusted and to trust this person. To let them make some decisions for me, to be vulnerable and get carried away in the love (i'm a dreamer)

Which brings me to the matter of T...

Can you trust an unserious man? Would you leave your lifetime decisions to a big baby?

This is potentially the head of me, like my boss kinda. Are you not screwed if you end up with a lazy and unserious boss?

Just pondering.... The more serious he gets, the more I wonder about the other issues...

T is a little childish...

Or am I being too hasty?

Should I just live? And enjoy the way things are between us now?

Hope you all had a nice weekend.

Not so sure about my 'island' job anymore, turns out I have business in lagos (or do I?)

Would 1 year in Bonny really ruin my chances of finding true love?

Guys, would you date a girl working and living in a secluded place with mostly men?

I guess he doesn't trust me...

Have a blessed and productive week ahead!
