Miss Flow came flowin' back in2 my life yesterday. I was actually expecting her on Wednesday, but I guess she musta missed her flight or something. It musta taken her three days to catch the next available flight. You know how busy those planes are in period land. In case you're confused, Ms. Flow is my period.
She came yesterday anyway, and today being my second day has not been funny @ all. I've just been pissed 4 no reason. Thank goodness for the novel I'm reading (Red Light Wives by Mary Monroe). It's a really nice book, but sadly, it is the first book I have ever read from her. I dunno how I coulda passed such an outstanding author by. Ain't that a shame?
Anyway, like I was sayin, Ms. Flow has gat me feeling like something has been stuck up my ass. I'm even pissed @ myself for being so pissed without reason. There is nothing fun about Ms. Flow coming around. After all, who wants 2 be bleeding, in pain, pissed, tired......and even bloated?! I no come understand God sha. If I only had 2 bleed, I would not mind @ all, but then it comes with all these other stuff like hormonal inbalances & stuff. I came back from Church 2day and just went strait 2 bed. That way, I didn't have 2 think about my yeye mood swings.
Speaking of Church sef, I ...or rather we (me, mom & grandma) went 2 the Igbo service 2day. Have I told you how much I hate Igbo church? I love my Igbo people oh, and I love being around them of course, esp since I am one of them, but the House of God is not one place I wanna share with them? Why, you ask. Well, there are just wayyyy 2 many hypocrites! I am not a saint, of course, but I do not pretend 2 be one either. All these people just smile in front of u and then turn around 2 say some ugly things about you behind your back. Damn cowards.
The whole church sef is disorganized. There are so many distractions during the service, and if I did not know any better, I would say the devil is tryna distract us from hearing the word of God, but why would the devil distract such a service? He's probably sittin in front of the choir and singin his heart out!....no offense 2 that woman who dresses almost naked to church with her eyebrows raised so high she permanently looks surprised, but anyways... The choir sef is disorganized; there is no practice of any sort, and from the looks of it, I think people just come 2 church and decide if they wanna sing that day or not. If they do, they'll go and join the alleged choir. The distractions range from crying babies (with their parents shoutin "ssshhhh!!!!") to ringing cell phones (with dumb ass people answering 2 say "Hello? Ano'm n'uno uka [I'm in Church]. Ka'm kpoghachi gi [lemme call you back]). Why pick up the phone in the first place? Of course babies always cry in the church (ane everywhere else 4 that matter) but the smart thing 2 do is 2 take the baby out instead of screaming at him/her. If anything, that only frightens the poor baby and makes him/her cry even more!
Anyways, from my tone, you can see I am not in a very good mood. Woulda liked 2 write some more, but I am getting pissed by the minute. Sometimes I just wanna strangle those church people. I used 2 think that when I got married, I would primarily attend a Nigerian church with my husband and kids, but now I know better. I most certainly will not be attending ANY Nigerian church...Igbo or no Igbo. By the way, my disdain for that Igbo church has nothing 2 do with my lack of appreciation 4 other Naija churches. They are all the same. They gossip too much. And it seems like no1 actually comes 2 church for God. They all just wanna show off their precious new lace. Damn devil incarnates.
Anyways, lemme go b4 I say something that will make God knock me upside my big head. Lemme go continue readin the novel. It has 635 pages and I am currently on page 430.
See you tomorrow then.

I've Been Diagnosed As A Drug Addict
Name of my Doctor: Mom
My drug of choice: Nair Hair Removal lotion
Well, remember how I said I had 2 groom? Yes oh, so I decided to groom today. I put some nair on my legs before I took a shower. I tied a wrapper just below my ass and I was in the living room, when my mom saw my legs and said "lemme tell you, this thing you're rubbing on your legs to have smooth legs is just like ingesting a drug. You've become a drug addict like all those akata people."
Hia! I couldn't stop laffin o. I'm like, I know she did not just call me a drug addict because of Nair. I mean, what is wrong with Nair 4 cryin out loud. And I don't even use it that often! She's lucky I am not hairy cause if I were, I would use it like every two days.
Abi how does she expect me to look? She wants me 2 grow my hair and look like a grizzly bear abi? It will not work o!
By the way, after I took a shower, decided 2 walk 2 Uju's house (about 5 mins away). I was still on my street and my attention was on my cell phone cause I was tryna call Busola when some strange man just parked his car in front of me and started asking me if I called him. I mean, he rolled his windows down 2 ask me if I called him! How could I have called him? I didn't know him. I obviously didn't know his name. I didn't flag him down - in fact, I didn't even know a car was coming. I gave him a I-know-you-did-not-just-ask-me-that-question look, and then he apologized and said "Oh, I'm sorry, sweetie. It's just that you look so attractive, so I thought you called me." What da hell?! Why do I meet these people?
I was not wearing anything special o! In fact, I think I was looking more like a maid sef. I was wearing a long black and white skirt and a black top. Nothing spectacular. That man just felt like making a fool of himself, that's all. That's how the other day one drunk, white man stopped to ask me if I wanted 2 party. When I said no, the fool now said "Oh you've got a nice ass there." This man is probably older than my father o! Ewwww. I shuld just stop walkin on the street 4 real.
I'm a conservative dresser too, so they cannot say that all my skin was atttracting them cause there was no skin 2 see. It must be my beautiful personality. Yeap, that has 2 be it. LOL. Hahahaha. Gosh, I crack myself up 4 real.

My Nephew Has Been Born!!!
Ok, I'm sure you're probably wondering what nephew I'm talking about since I never told you I was expecting a nephew. Well, of course, I didn't. Abi you want to use your witch to put juju on him? Abeg, waka go. Ok seriously, my nephew has been born. His father is my cousin.
My cousin's name is Uzo, but I call him Lil Uzo. He's not little (of course), but his father (my father's older brother) is also Uzo. So instead of calling them "Uzo Senior" and "Uzo Junior", we call them "Big Uzo" and "Lil Uzo". Lil Uzo's wife(Natasha) is from Reunion Island, near Mauritius Island and Madagascar...yes, such a place (Madagascar) exists. I'm saying so because when I told dumb-ass Uju that my sister in-law is from Madagascar, she said "there's such a place?! I thought it was made up for that animated movie called 'Madagascar'". So if you're thinking Uju is a dumbass, then yes, I wholly agree with you.
Anyways....back to Lil Uzo and his new fatherhood. Uzo is soooo foine. In fact, if he weren't my cousin, I would......well, let's leave that alone. He's such an international man. Lemme explain. His father is Nigerian = black (my dad's older brother), his mother is German = white. Lil Uzo lived in Jos (Plateau State) till he graduated high school. Then he left for Germany. Then he left for Russia (med skool). Then he left for Paris (business skool), and now, he is in Luxemberg (working). He speaks English, pigeon english, some Igbo, German, Russian, and French. And if you're wondering, his wife speaks French....and English. The baby's name is Joaquim Odera Ezimora.
Why am I telling you all about Lil Uzo's not-so-little life? Told you I can't shut up.
Can you believe that in this summer heat I am drinking a cup of hot tea? Yes oh, I have a sore throat. I believe I drank way too many cold drinks on saturday (@ the cookout). My house kinda feels like winter right now anyway cause the air conditioner has been on full blast...which is very unlike my mother. She usually complains of being cold, while I complain of being hot, but this time, she's hot and I'm cold. What is wrong with this picture? My house is so cold that I have even brought my blanket out .... in the middle of friggin' July! So you can imagine how cold my house is. I guess it would be in my best interest to put some real clothes on instead of tying a wrapper around all. I'm so lazy mehn. Dressing up is a chore for me. I walk around the house naked all day; by now, I'm sure my neighbours already know how much hair I have in my coochie.
Speaking of hair, I've been thinking about getting a Brazillian wax. What say you? I don't think I'm ready for it though...since I heard it's really, really painful. Maybe I'll do it before I have a baby; that way the child would have a "clear" pathway when he/she is coming in. My mother had me thru CS, so I didn't have to pass thru my mama's coochie. Maybe next time.
Anyways, that's if for now. We go yarn later.

What Have I Been Up 2?
Hmmmmm.
Yesterday, I was @ my grandma's house watching her rugrats cause she had to go for her doctor's appointment (just in case she's pregnant, lol). I was sleepy the whole day. It's quite a pity that my body clock is off the regular clock; I mean, I sleep during the day and stay awake @ nite. I usually write @ night, you know, and I write @ nite because that's when my brain works betta, and I can just focus and pour my thoughts out. No interruptions. No ringin' phones. No IMs. No erh...I dunno what else, but I just know I write betta.
I was chatting with a friend of mine called Papa BomBoy (yes, that's his name - don't ask me any yeye questions), and he was telling me that Uju looks (in the pictures) as if we didn't give her suya. Anywayz, the reason I'm mentioning this is because I just wanna tell every1 what Uju did @ the cookout. She kept taking food from the grill and saying it was for 'mama' (my grandma), and we kept wondering how come 'mama' has taken food so many times and still isn't satisfied. It was only afta the cookout that we realized that half of the stuff that were supposed 2 enter 'mama's' stomach actually entered Uju's stomach. This kin friend sef! Sometimes, I wonder why I have not discarded her.
I am really disappointed in myself that I have still not finished my book; it's a lot harder than I thought, but I am determined. I started the book on he final days of December 2005, and when I started, I thought I would be done by Feb 2006. What a joke! We are almost in August and I am still not done. It worries me that I am not done; I had no intention of writing it for such an extended period, but on the plus side, it's a really good book. I'm not tryna toot my own horns, but I know it's good. Besides, people that have read it thus far said it's good. Ibukun is my most enthusiastic reader; her desire to read the book makes me wanna write more, just so that I don't disappoint her. She even made me bring my laptop to the cookout! She really loves the book, and I truly, truly appreciate her for that.
Hmmmm, I've been looking at this big, black purse I have been carrying about, and even though I like it, I need to get me another one. Something that is ugh...trendier and more sophisticated. The kinda purse you'd see and swear there has to be at least $10, 000 in it, but then you open it to find just $10. Well, technically, $10 isn't so far from $10,000.... just three zeros missing. Anyways, I'm gonna have to get one b4 I go for the NaijaFest on the 12th of next month. I seriously need 2 go shoppin, so I can get an outfit for the event. I already have a mental picture of what I wanna wear; I just need 2 have it physically. Gosh, but I'm broke. This isn't such a bad time 2 explore having an arizto....abi how you take see am??
Abeg, lemme go do something else jare. I have been parading my house wearing just a green & white string bikini. Why did I have 2 tell you that? Told you I can't shut up. On the plus side sha, I guess I could conclude that I'm tryna represent Naija with my underwear. After all, charity begins @ home.
Speakin of Naija, I wanna go for the independence march abi parade in New York. Hmmm, that means I need 2 go shoppin for the green and white outfit I'll wear 2 support Naija. Oooh, I could also wear my green and white underwear! The good thing is that I have more than one green and white underwear (they have diff designs). It's a three-day event, but I'm not interested in the after-party and all that ish. Maybe some other time. For now, I just wanna march the streets of NY in my green-white-green. I'll post the website as soon as I get it.
Until then.... toodle-oo... (my ex used 2 say that; he sounded so gay! Xplains why he's an ex, right? Hahaha).
Bye jare...

Actual Cookout Gist
L-R: Kayode, Iheanyi, Ireti (baby), Uju (aka osisi na mi ego - stick/wood that sucks money) & Daniel.
L-R: Kayode (former omonaija - don't ask questions pls), Iheanyi (I dunno how many bottles of beer r in that cup sef), Funmie - the aboki who took over the grillin from Simeon. Seriously, we called her aboki all nite (close ur mouth jare, and wat r u so happy bout anywayz?!), Ireti (baby), & Daniel
Some suya, corn, burgers & hot dogs
L-R: Ibukun she just had 2 pass the front of the camera - that girl sef), Iheanyi, and Timbo's arm
Busola...dunno wat she's feelin like; someone musta told her shez cute o!
Simeon...the first aboki we had. He made the tasty suya - even though he 4got 2 put salt in it. He grilled everything till he had 2 leave. Some1 will see this pic & think he's a better person now...but remember 2 not 4get that looks can be deceiving 
L-R: Iheanyi (aka Fox), Timbo (dunno who she was tellin waka - better not be me o!), Ireti (baby), Uju (aka osisi na mi ego - meaning the stick/wood that sucks money. Uhm, where is the money???), and Daniel - wat is he laffin @??Well, the cookout went just well. It rained several times and disturbed our floor, but it didn't stop us. Simeon, Iheanyi, and Daniel kept cracking us up all nite. They talked about and made fun of everyone. They made fun of Timbo's small breast and small yansh, they made fun of my ass, they made fun of the rapid increase of Uju's breast from last year till date, they made fun of Sola's breast (Simeon said it's an A-cup). I couldn't stop laughin d whole nite. Twas definitely worth it...although @ a point, I felt like beating God up for sending the rain.
If you're wondering about my aunt, well, I am happy and proud 2 say that she was no problem @ all. In fact, she was perfect! My whole family was perfect.
I just wanna say thanx 2 every1 that came; I really appreciate it. There is no doubt in my mind that I've got the best friends in da whole wide world.
p.s. There were more people that the pictures above, but I didn't take the pictures of some, and some whose pictures I took didn't want their pix online. I kept telling them "take a picture for my blog." So as u can see, I do think of you even when I'm not with you. Mmm, that doesn't even make sense but wateva.
Have a wonderful nite. Off I go 2 flatten my hair (the rain made it frizzy)

Pre-Cookout Gist
So...make I yarn you the koko (gosh, I need 2 stop watching D'Banj's video)
Tomorrow is the cookout @ my aunt's house, and to tell you the truth, fear dey catch me oh! You see, my aunt is a very faithful and commited Deeper Life attendee,so I'm wondering how this cookout will go. Will I be able 2 play ANY music? Are we gonna have 2 pray for three hours b4 the cookout? Two hours during the cookout and maybe another three hours after??? Ok, maybe I'm exxagerating sha, but nawa o. E be like say I no calculate this cookout very well.
I'll be sure to take pictures for you to view, (and if possible, even a video sef). If you want, I could even send you some food; just send me an email - you know my address. Speaking of taking pictures sef, make I go plug my camera to charge.
*gone 2 plug camera*
*back*
I've deleted several pictures from my memory stick. Before i deleted the pix, I had space for 96 pix, but now I have for 253...yay! Although I know I will not need that much....haba...even if na president's wedding.
I have 2 wake up early tomorrow, so I can call Funmi 2 come and cook the fried rice. You know Funmi doesn't come on time, so I have 2 disturb her and ring her phone off the hook, so she can bring her butt here on time.
The only thing I'm looking forward to in the cookout is the suya. I want me some suya! It's not gonna taste like the one in Naija, but it's something. Mehn, I miss my home!
I guess that's all for now sha; wish me luck (I'll need it).
Don't 4get 2 send me an email if u want some food o
Have a wonderful night.

Update On My Hair & D'Banj
Funmi left me a comment on my previous post where she was demanding that I tell everyone that she came on time (and even had to wait 15 minutes outside), and that she did my hair very well.
Well, yes, she did do my hair and yes, she waited for me outside for about 15 minutes, but she didn't come on time o!
Lemme xplain: @ first, Funmi said she would come @ 3pm, then later she called and said she won't leave her location till 3:30...which should given her about twenty minutes 2 get 2 my house (so let's say 3:50pm). Uju and I left my house (for Sam's Club) @ 3:01pm; we went 2 buy some stuff (like the drinks and burgers and hot dogs) for the cookout tomorrow (22nd july). Funmi called me @ 4:44pm 2 tell me she was @ my house. Would you consider that as being on time? I don't. But anywayz, she did a wonderful job with my hair. Me likes. I told her I would be kind enough 2 let her keep doing it...until I can afford a real hair dresser, of course.
(for non-Nigerians that do not understand D'Banj's lyrics) I just found out yesterday that D'Banj's song is about receiving a blow job (not that it makes me like the song any less). But that aside sha, I just think that D'Banj is sooooooo damn foine. I'd love to meet him some day, so we can record a duet (no, I cannot sing worth shit, but hey, I can try, right?).
Well, I gotta go now; I need 2 call Uju back. She just called me, but I didn't pick up cause I was talking to my mom.
As always, have a Blessed day (I know I will)
Warm Hugz & Wet Kisses
Well, yes, she did do my hair and yes, she waited for me outside for about 15 minutes, but she didn't come on time o!

Uju and I left my house (for Sam's Club) @ 3:01pm; we went 2 buy some stuff (like the drinks and burgers and hot dogs) for the cookout tomorrow (22nd july). Funmi called me @ 4:44pm 2 tell me she was @ my house. Would you consider that as being on time? I don't. But anywayz, she did a wonderful job with my hair. Me likes. I told her I would be kind enough 2 let her keep doing it...until I can afford a real hair dresser, of course.
(for non-Nigerians that do not understand D'Banj's lyrics) I just found out yesterday that D'Banj's song is about receiving a blow job (not that it makes me like the song any less). But that aside sha, I just think that D'Banj is sooooooo damn foine. I'd love to meet him some day, so we can record a duet (no, I cannot sing worth shit, but hey, I can try, right?).
Well, I gotta go now; I need 2 call Uju back. She just called me, but I didn't pick up cause I was talking to my mom.
As always, have a Blessed day (I know I will)

I Have Really Outdone Myself This Time
You know there are sometimes that you just let yourself go, right? I mean, hair is undone, no make-up, clothes r mismatched, etc. Well, I have really let my hair go. You need 2 take a look @ it. My hair so jacked up that I cannot even bear 2 look @ it. I'm supposed 2 take a picture and send it 2 my Boss in Naija (so he can put it on my column in the magazine), but how can I take a picture when I look like I just emerged from an intense physical battle?
I cannot even put a comb through it - that's how bad it is. Funmi is coming over to my house today to do my hair...and I must confess that the only thing that truly inspired me to get it done is the fact that Uju and I are hosting abi organizing a cookout in my aunt's house, and friends are coming. To be more specific, guys are coming over, so I cannot be found looking like a glorified maid. Besides, even if I must be a glorified maid....maid get level now.. ah ah!
Anywayz, I'm gonna post this now and call Funmie 2 know what time she'll be here; then I'll add 2-3 hours to whatever time she tells me (Funmie is extremely bad with time). I hope she @ least shows up sha cause with Funmie's history, she either shows us extremely late or she does not show up @ all.
Well, that's it for now. Have a Blessed day (I know I will).

Neva Missed My House So Much.....
I'm waitin for my aunt and my uncle's wife 2 get back from their trip, so I can pack my stuff and get home. Can't wait! I don't think I have ever missed my house so much.
Uju was here yesterday (I had 2 braid her hair...yes, single braids, and no, I'm not doing urs!). We were up till about 2am. Actually, I think we finished the hair @ about 12am, but we had 2 do a whole buncha things afta that. She slept here and left this morning (the girl can't get enough of me). And by the time we went 2 bed, it was about 3am...or almost 4, I think. I woke up this morning and went 2 Church. I cannot tell you what the priest said cause I wasn't there.
These kids don't get tired of playing. Uju gat so mad yesterday that she almost beat the 10 year old up (and she only met him yesterday!). Anyways, speakin' of Uju, she now has a boyfriend. Yes o! The girl don hook one bobo like that o. He's fine, tall and Igbo...just the way she likes them. Let's call him Kaka for now.
My friends and I are taking a trip 2 King's Dominion, New Jersey on the 11th of August. We will spend the night there and come back on the morning of the 12th. We'll rest a lil, and then proceed to attend the Naija Fest here in Maryland. I'm lookin' 4ward 2 it! Can't wait 2 go on those rides and scream till Jesus hears my prayers.
*crossin my fingers & waitin patiently 4 my aunt 2 return from this her trip*

I'm Exhausted
I dunno if I told you, but I came 2 my aunt's house yesterday night cause she had to travel this morning. Anyways, I am sooooooooooooooo freakin' tired. Can you take a wild guess why I'm tired? Pls....allow me 2 educate you.
These kids are driving me insane 4 real. I cannot be too mad at them, of course, cause I know they are just kids, but abeg, body no be firewood.: a 4 month old baby boy, a one year old girl, a two year old boy, and a three year old girl, so basically, there are seven kids in this house ranging from 3 months old to 10 years old. Oga o.
Anyways, I don't wanna start repeating myself like a broken record for no reason....cause you know how annoying that can get...especially 4 u the readers.
Wasn't it just yesterday that I complained about receiving calls from numbers I cannot call back? Well, I was helping my aunt cook some rice @ night and I didn't want my phone 2 disturb anyone, so I put it on silent (though it still vibrates in its silent mode). I went upstairs and by the time I came back, I had two missed calls from unknown numbers...meaning I couldn't call them back, of course.
The calls came in @ about 1am.... darn it... I don't like when this happens (get over it, Vera...right?)
Oh well........
That's it for now; we go yarn again 2morrow (hopefully).

Don't You Just Hate It....?
Don't you just hate it when people call from strange numbers and don't leave messages? I hate it because I don't like picking up calls from numbers that I don't know...just in case it's a call I wouldn't have picked up otherwise. So when some1 calls me from an infamiliar number and doesn't leave me a message, I get very reluctant about calling back...especially when I cannot guess who it is.
It's even worse when the person calls from an "unknown" number, or if it's a "private" call; I don't really care if someone blocks his/her number and calls me...cause I won't pick up anyway. If it's important to the person, he or she would unblock his/her number. (Although sometimes, those private calls are from Naija...but anywayz...)
Someone called me twice @ about 4:30am this morning; even though I kinda heard it ringing, I didn't pick up cause I was too deep in sleep. I had gone 2 far 2 be brought back to the harsh reality of haboring a very, very nappy hair on my head (someone pls put a rope on my neck and drag me 2 the salon...and pay, of course!). When I woke up this morning and saw the missed calls with area code 323, I quickly checked the phone book, and discovered it was California...but who could it be? I realized I had a new voicemail message, so I decided to listen 2 it, but guess what? The person let my voice kini finish talking, but then the person did not leave a message.... arrrrggggghhhhh!!!! That's the one thing that's worse than not leaving a message....it's leaving a silent message. Dammit.... that caller betta call me back....
In spite of my phobia 4 calling unknown numbers, I decided to call this number back, but guess what? The automated service came on and said "Your number cannot be completed as dialed; please check the number and dial again." Haba! Now, I cannot stop thinking about who it was that called me. Why would some1 do a thing like that, ehn..... haba.
Dear unreachable caller....whoever you, you better call me back o! I'm warning you now oh...you better call me back immediately. I am not playing with you oh!

Weddin' Plannin' No Dey Easy O!
I have always fantasized about being an event planner.... so much so that the main character in my fiction novel is an event planner. However, in reality, e no dey easy o! Sola and I went 2 Potter's Place today (on exit 13) to find out the amount of the hall. Nawa oh... fear wan catch me. I was shocked! Too much money....chei!
On the positive side sha; Sola has chosen her gown; the bridesmaids have chosen their gowns too (uniform gowns), and I have chosen my gown too (I'm the maid of honor and my gown is different...it's sexxxy!)
After going to Potter's Place, we went to see the cake lady. She gave us an estimate on the cake sha, which wasn't bad at all. It was around the price we expected. By the way, in case you're wondering, the wedding isn't till next year, but we are just tryna be proactive by planning right now, which is good cause Potter's Place is even already all booked for next year July....can you imagine that?
Well that's it for now sha; I am soooooo tired. I am so bleeping sleep deprived. I'm always sleep deprived, right? Well, I keep goin 2 bed late and waking up early. Usually, I make it up during the day, but I have not been able to do so lately. My eyes are as red as scarlet... ok, maybe not that red, but you get my point.
Have a wonderful night! (Or morning, dependin' on which part of the world you're situated in)
HUGZ & KISSES

Yummy Broccoli
I have recently developed a new addiction: broccoli. I dunno wat is going on with me and broccoli oh, but I am just in love with it. In fact, I think I even blush every time I see broccoli...hence my reason for taking a picture of it @ the grocery store. Awwww, look @ those perfect lil trees.
When I first came here (America), I hated broccoli...especially the smell, but now, I love it! I think my addiction started when I ate marshed potato and broccoli @ Chilis restaurant. Mehn...that steaned broccoli made my day! I've been craving for more. Of course, I had to buy some 2day. Just look @ them... perfect vegetables.
Anywayz, how has every1 been? Once again, I am sleep deprived. I have not slept decently since thursday...and it's all my fault. I've attempted 2 sleep several times 2day, but each time I start fallin asleep, some nuisance will call me. Well, I hope they are happy now cause I am not sleeping anymore. I'm gonna go watch a Naija movie called Fishers Of Men. I'm alwayz watching Naija movies, right? I know.
So does any1 else love broccoli as much as I do? If not, u should try it. Mmmmm mmmm yummy!

Forsake All Others And Cling To Your Wife (Or Husband)
Even though this happens in everyday life, I watched a movie lately that just emphazised the issue in my head. The issue I'm talking about is partners (especially men) that do not know how to cling to their wives; instead they cling to their mothers. Bloody hell! I know it will not be easy for a man to just leave his mother and cling to this woman who isn't even related to him by blood, but mother-in-laws can just be so evil. They always wanna prove something; they always wanna prove to the wives that they are the first in their sons' lives. They need to just go ahead and marry their mothers. Wat rubbish!
I'm a very private person o. I love my privacy; I love my space; I love my alone-time. B4 I get married, my husband and I would have to talk about a lot of things...like relatives. I don't mind if relatives come 2 my house every now and then, but not for them 2 come and kanda in my house, and then try 2 tell me how 2 run the house again - that's bullshit. I don't care whether they r his relatives or mine....no1 is coming 2 home to make it theirs. If they so much wanna run a home, then they need to go back 2 their spouses....or get married. Either way, they need 2 be out of my space. Those relatives can just be devil-sent. I know I have so much anger and disdain in my voice, but I have my reasons...trust me. But I dont wanna get in2 that right now sha.
Have a Blessed Day
p.s. I did put up Uju's picture, but she kept beggin and beggin 2 take it off. Of course, u know I'm a kind-hearted girl/lady/woman, so I let her be.
But don't worry, I will be putting more pix up....without a doubt!

Call Me Slow But....
...I just figured out how to post a picture....the easy way! How come I neva knew this b4? Do you know how many times I have thought about taking a pic and posting it on my blog? But I don't do so because I feel like it is too much of a hassle. I have posted about 2 pix (3 @ most) but I had 2 download one software like that 2 do it. It makes me really reluctant 2 post pix...especially now that I have a laptop. The software is on my desktop, which means I have 2 transfer the picture from my laptop 2 my desktop, which is just 2 much wahala 4 me. Anyways, problem solved! Expect more pix from me. I go almost everywhere with my camera...even though I hardly take pix of myself (since i'm the photographer et al).
Boy oh boy! You have no idea how happy I am right now. I'll definitely be taking my camera 2 more places. I'm gonna go charge my camera now, so the battery would be full tomorrow, you know? Then I can just take random shots and put them up for the world 2 see. I'm gonna be invincible! Unstoppable! Untouchable!..... (Ok, calm down, Vera, it's just a camera.)
Why am I up @ this time of the morning? It's 4 A.M for crying out loud. Well, I guess I betta go 2 bed now cause I gotta be up @ 10 A.M. to go buy a router for my laptop (since the internet I've been stealing from my neighbors is currently not working).
I'm gonna be sooo bloated tomorrow cause I have been drinking a lotta milk... I dunno why. I'm just gonna be farting all over the place tomorrow. Watch out, people! Professional farter on the way! Anyways, I think I'm gonna get me some milk tomorrow, but I'm gonna get me some Lactaid (lactose free) cause I'm really starting to think I'm lactose-intolerant. Why else would I be so bloated after having milk? It's worse when I take Naija milk (Peak et al).
Good nite Y'll....
When I wake up, I'm gonna put up a picture of Uju chewing a bone like it's her last day on earth.

Pre-Independence Day
I'm currentlyn located @ Sola's house. Been here since like 1pm. Woulda been home but my uncle decided to transform my house in2 a library because he had to read and the libraries are closed (cause tomorrow is 4th of july - Independence Day). My mother was being unnecessarily anal as usual; she told me not 2 even open a grocery bag because it was too much noise. Afta that, I concluded things would not even work out, so I packed my laptop and relocated 2 Sola's house - which is why I even have internet access 2 start wit.
Tomorrow is the 4th of July (Independence Day), so there would be lots of fireworks et al. I'm thinking bout going downtown to the Inner Harbor 2 watch some serious fireworks. I've been here so long, but I have never been there 4 fireworks. One time we were all supposed 2 go as a family, but my aunt discouraged every1 because "Bin Ladin would bomb the place." I guess we were all chickens because we agreed with her and stayed home. Needless 2 say, I did not really think the place would be bombed...although I was still scared 2 go sha.
We're currently watching a Naija movie called "Day of Atonement", and it's a really nice movie sha. I mean, it's not like "Oh-my-God-it-is-so-good!", but it's aiight. We first watched "Civil War", which I have watched soooo many times, but I just keep watching it. It is just tooooo funny. I can't stop laughing.
If you care 2 know, my job is going just fyne -you betta care 2 know!
:KISS:

Updates...Updates...Updates
Where do I start?
#1. Due to all the rain that fell last week, my wireless network has been down. My network has been giving me what it calls "limited or no connectivity", but it is actually "no connectivity @ all" because I cannot even do anything online. I can't sign in2 my messenger, and I cannot open a web page either. How frustrating is that?
#2. On friday I went 2 Uju's house to cornrow her hair, but we ended up watching Naija movies and sleeping. Eventually, I did the cornrows, but just two. And she did same to/for me. But dammmnnnnn, her hands hurt so much. I was on the verge of tears.
#3. Yesterday I went 2 see Superman, and afta seeing it, it got me thinking: maybe I should only date a man that can fly like superman. I mean, who needs a regular man when you can get one that flies....4 free! He can take me ANYWHERE ANY TIME. I would not need 2 pay for airfare, and I definitely do not have 2 have any hassle. Just pack my bags and zoom off. And let's not forget that the trip would be shorter sef.
#4. Well, I dunno what number 4 is. All I know is that I thought I had a number 4, but I guess not. Well, here's nothing then, I guess.
Enuff about me, how are you? How was ur weekend?
#5. Oh, I remember number 4! But since I already have a number 4, I have 2 change it to number 5. On saturday I accompanied Uju to an event. Her aunt was the caterer @ the event, and she needed people 2 help her serve, so Uju and I were two of the 5 people that were serving. Mehn...I cannot tell you how we suffered o! We were supposed to serve the food to the guests, but you know these Naija people now - they all wanted to be part of it. They all wanted to come in2 the kitchen and take their own food, no matter how many times we said "WE ARE SERVING THE FOOD OURSELVES". Nawa 4 Naija people o. There was so much commotion and kata-kata @ the event - no surprise, of course. We left there @ about 4am - thank God. When we got home, we took long showers - not together o!!!!... although there is nothing new 2 see anywayz
Well, that will be all for now; guess I will be back later.
