B4 your eyes start poppin outta your head, lemme reassure you that I am only speaking in figurative terms. For all you superstitious Naija folks out there, don't be alarmed; I am not a witch who manifests in2 a bamboo @ 12 midnight or 3am. Now, with that being said, lemme talk about what I actually wanna talk about.
Yesterday, I was reading a piece on Diamond's blog which talked about how people have different purposes in life. You need to read the piece itself 2 understand where I am coming from. Anyways, the point is that a person can be a bamboo; that is, even though you're born at the same time frame with some1 else, that person may start out being big (successful) while you may start out looking like you're going nowhere fast, but the moment you do start going somewhere, you will blow up! because all that time you were 'stagnant', it was because you were growing roots....just like the bamboo. Well, I am a bamboo.
For six years I have cried @ God's feet begging him to grant me one thing....or rather a series of things, but every time I thought I had a tiny bit of light @ the end of the tunnel, something always came up and put it right out. It was like every time I lighted a lil candle and hoped it would turn into a huge furnace, some big tornado (and even hurricane) came and blew it out. Every time I would have a lil bit of hope, something always came up and snatched it right out. I thought God had abandoned me, and I felt like my sins were just too much for him 2 hear me. I had almost given up. In fact, I stopped praying because I didn't feel the need to pray - it's not like anyone was listening anyway.
Out of nowhere, I got my first miracle. I couldn't believe it, but my light actually didn't go out this time. I mean, I actually had a light @ the end of the tunnel, and it stayed on long enough for me to meet it and take a hold of it. Miraculously, the tornados and hurricanes didn't find my light this time.
Anyways, the point is that since that day (Aug 15th), a buncha lil things have been happening 2 me. Some people might call them coincidences, but I do not believe in coincidences, and neither do I believe in luck. Coincidences are all part of destiny and luck is favor from God. These lil things that have been happening have led me to believe that maybe my roots are done growing, and now they are ready to become a huge tree. My roots are ready to become wings so that I can fly high above my wildest expectations. Well, whatever the case is, I say Amen to it.
Some day I'm gonna talk about this in details, but for now, I do not feel comfortable spilling all the beans. God knows what I mean.
And all you bloggers and blog readers, please help me to thank God.
I'm out........

Alright, Alright, Here Are The Naija Fest Pictures!
OK, here are the pictures oh abeg; it was not a 419 scam. When I wrote it before that I would post the pictures, I had every intention to do it the next day, but when the next day came, I had the intention of doing it the following day. In fact, after a while, I figured, oh well, no1 would notice that I didn't post them anyways. How was I supposed 2 know some1 has been keeping track? LOL. Anyways, here are the pictures sha. I hope y'll like them. Who cares if you don't?!
Jennifer and her hubby, Segun. Aww, they look so good together, don't they?
Busola and Uju; I dunno what they were feeling like.
Uju and her man Emeka - see how they have matching green-white-green outfits? Reppin' Naija 2 the skin
Busola and Tope. The boy is fine, isn't he? Just look @ the difference in height...and she was wearing heels o!
Seun and two strange girls. I'm not calling them strange in terms of being weird oh; I'm calling them strange because I don't know them. Well, I guess I could call them 'unknown girls', but why would I do that when I could just say 'strange'? Seun turned me in2 his UNPAID photographer. He's cool though. I woulda put more pictures, but I am only allowed to put five on any given post, and I am not about to start a new post for the sake of pictures. Y'll would just have to be content with these ones.
See any1 you want? Contact me immediately - they're all on sale. BUY ONE, GET THE REST FOR FREE...AND EVEN GET CASH BACK SEF.
P.S. ALL SALES ARE FINAL! WE DO NOT ACCEPT RETURNS, NEITHER DO WE GIVE REFUNDS IN ANY FORM (BE IT CASH OR STORE CREDIT).

Racing Thoughts...
Soooooo... I gat a comment from one of my "faithful readers", and she reminded me of the fact that I never posted the Naija Fest pictures like I promised I would. Well, I am really sorry sha, but I just haven't felt like it. Even now sef, it is with great reluctance that I will put them up. I dunno why uploading pictures has suddenly become a chore for me; I guess it's because maybe I have been doing it too much lately. I mean, I am the ONLY one amongst my friends who takes pictures and actually sends them out. B4 I got a digital camera, I used 2 print the pix and give them 2 the owners. But I gotta say it's a lot easier (and cheaper sef!) having a digicam cause I don't have 2 print any yeye pix; I just send them 2 their owners, and if they want to, they can print them out themselves, but if not, oh well. My job is already done anywayz.
Oh, and something else: my faithful reader wanted 2 know when I gat a boyfriend. My sistah, I cannot blame you for asking. Well, I have had one since April of 2005, but I decided not 2 talk about him (4 reasons I might discuss later). I never actually said I didn't have one, but I guess I became single by default. I mean, since I didn't talk of a boyfriend, every1 assumed I didn't have one...which is part of why I decided 2 talk about him. I'm tired of sending mixed messages...you know?
Okay, I'm really sorry, but those pictures would have to be posted tomorrow. I promised I'll post them tomorrow. I promise. I'm sleepy.

Baby Bayo Is One
My plan was 2 just stay home today and chill, but as fate (or rather Funmi) would have it, I attended Baby Bayo's birthday party. I wasn't gonna go cause Bayo Snr. didn't tell me, but Bayo's older sistah (whose name is also Funmi) begged my own Funmi 2 be in charge of the games 4 kids. Funmi begged me 2 come, and since I had nothing doing, I went with her.
Lemme tell u the story bout Bayo: 1st of all, Bayo became our (me, Funmie, Sola, Ibukun, etc)friend when he started chasing Uju. At first she was doing shakara (don't we all?), but she later fell 4 him. 4 whatever reason sha, they broke up. Meanwhile, b4 they started dating (during the time he was still chasing her), Bayo gat this oyibo chic pregnant. The story that I heard sha is that they went 4 a party, got drunk, did it in the car, and poof! Baby Bayo was conceived. Hmmm, something tells me Bayo Snr. would not be happy with this post, but anyways...
So since Bayo and Uju broke up, the relationship bw him and the rest of us has naturally gone bad. We still talk and all that, but we don't call each other or anything like that. In fact, I don't even know his number sef. And today was the first time I ever went 2 his new house; I'm not sure, but maybe Bayo's reason 4 not inviting us is because of his history with Uju. But anyways... I sha went there either way. Of course, he tried 2 give me an xplanation like "oh, sorry I didn't tell you. I didn't even have time; in fact, I didn't know it'd be so big. I was only planning on entertaining kids..." Yeah right!!!
Anyways, Funmie and I went sha, and it was a nice event. We (adults) were not even ashamed of doing musical chairs, but unfortunately my ass got kicked out - literally. Needless 2 say, Baby Bayo is doing fine. I have 2 say that his mother is very down 2 earth (I think). She was cleaning up and helping out, even though she was the ONLY white person there. If I were in her shoes, I woulda definitely brought a black friend of mine. Anyways, I doubt if Baby Bayo knew that today was all about him.
Oh, and Funmie and I stole soooo much candy! Actually, Funmie is the one who stole the candy, but she stole it for me and her. I've still got a lot in my purse (I've actually only eaten two), so if you want some, lemme know b4 my family takes them all.
Until later sha...

Update On Skool
Well, sadly, from the looks of things, I may not be able to attend my regular skool this semester. I dunno if the devil is tryna toy with my emotions, but he musta forgotten I'm a tough cookie. When one door closes, many more will open, abi? Soooo, I'm just gonna go ahead and do my writing program. Yea, I have this online writing skool and I took their aptitude test about a year ago; since then they have been sending me letters to join the skool, but I have been declining, but it seems like I would take them up on their offer this semester.
I'm about 2 take a shower, so I can go 2 Wal-Mart (yea, every1 and their mama knows I can't get enuff of Wal-Mart). I need 2 pick up some pictures I put online 2 be printed and also get my boyfriend's lotion. Why do I have 2 get him his lotion, you ask? I dunno o. Been wondering the same thing. But you know how men are just babies, and regardless of how strong and tough they may appear to be, the fact is that they are still all babies. Baby! Baby!! Baby!!!
Ok...enuff of that. Did I tell you that my cousin (who is more like a sista) just got married on saturday, the 19th? She lives in London. I woulda liked 2 go 4 her wedding, but that crazy gal didn't even tell any1 on time. I'm not 2 surprised sha cause I've always known her 2 be crazy like that. She makes me look very sane, for real.....and I know I've got a few things missin in my head. Anyways, that's by the way.
Gotta go take a shower b4 Uju shows up. She'll be mad if I'm not ready yet. Every1 knows I take a decade 2 take a shower, so bye....
Oh, and if you care to know, I;m still writing my book. I wrote it last yesterday and I will write some more today. I'm taking my laptop 2 Uju's house - just hope I will have the chance 2 write it there sha. Anyways, that's all for now. We go dey yarn later.
Geez, I still gotta wash my panties and brush my teeth twice b4 taking the actual shower. I betta run!

Closet Make-Over
Wow! That's the first word I can say about my closet.
For months now, every time I look @ my closet, I just shriek. But today, I woke up and got rid of some stuff. The closet was so full and packed that it couldn't even close. I had clothes hanging inside the closet, purses on the top shelf, and shoes on the floor. The closet was so full that things were randomly falling off by themselves. So today, I guess I just couldn't take it anymore...especially since my bed is facing the closet, and I am forced to look @ it every time I wake up.
Anyways, after saying my morning prayer today, I boldly approached my closet and reminded it that I am the boss! In other words, I started throwing clothes off their hangers. I took so many clothes out and freed up a buncha hangers. I've never seen my closet look so happy before! The closet used to be so full that you could hide a gang of thieves in there, and no1 would ever know.
After that, I attacked my shoes. I got rid of eleven pairs of shoes. Eleven!!! (And I still have five new pairs of shoes in boxes oh). Can you imagine how much space they were taking up? And then I got rid of four purses. Boy oh boy, was I happy or what?
With all the new space I created, I was able to hang up the new clothes I bought that were still in their shopping bags. Geeeez. What is up with me??? Seriously, I've got issues. I hardly really go out. I mean, I do, but not like the average woman my age. So all these clothes I have are rarely worn. They just hang there and collect dust literally. I have thirteen pairs of sunglasses, but I really only wear like three of them...and that's just occasionally, but you cannot get me to let any of them go. I dunno how many purses I have but I really only use one. It's only occasionally that I switch to something else.
If my closet could talk, it would be singing me a thanksgiving song right now. Even now, the closet doors still can't close, but it's a lot better than before. Although, now that I have added new clothes, I guess it's almost as bad as it was before. By the time I do laundry and hang those clothes up, the closet would be one clothe away from looking like it used to. Well, at least, I know it's clothes I wear that are filling it up instead of clothes I have not worn for years!
See You Later.....
Gotta go. I'm cooking chicken which I intend to fry. Yum Yum!!

Snakes On A Plane
Sooooo....I finally saw SNAKES ON A PLANE and I did all I could not to jump out of my seat! Those snakes were straight up mean! One man went 2 pee (on d plane, of course), but he didn't see the snake in the toilet. Next thing, the snake was on his dick! Ouch!!! And one other couple was having sex in the bathroom, and one snake came in thru the ceiling. First thing it bit on was the woman's nipple. Damn!!!!! I have 2 say I felt her pain there.
Anyways, it was a good movie sha, even though I kept screaming and jumping; my heart was beating so fast mehn, I dunno how I made it outta there. Now, the next movie on my list is PULSE. I'm gonna go see it with Uju - I just don't know when.
School starts on Monday, but as at this point, I don't even know if I'm gonna go 2 skool this semester or not. Go figure. I'm serious, abi? It's not like I wanna be in school 4eva....of course not! but sometimes in life, you meet circumstances that are just beyond your control. In everything though, I have to give thanks to God. He alone knows why certain things happen. I explain them 2 people that will understand, and for others, I just say 'Oh well', cause I really don't think they will get it.
Anyways, I guess I'll let you know on monday if I'm going 2 skool this semester or not. If I am, great! And if I'm not, oh well. It's one of those things. Some day I'll look back and laugh.
We go yarn later sha. Lemme go think about my book and what is gonna happen next.
Have a very lovely day.

What Shall I Name This Post?
Before I even opened up the page to type this post, I had no idea what I wanted to write about, so I don't even know why I bothered. I guess it's just one of those things, huh? I don't have anything to tell you that you might be interested in. Should I tell you that I made a lil pot of fish-stew with just six pieces of fish (of which my mom ate four of and I ate just half of one).
Tomorrow I'm going to see the movie 'Snakes On A Plane'; I know it will be full of suspense...with all the snakes et al, but I think I might enjoy it. The only cast member whose name I can remember right now is Samuel L. Jackson. Oh well, I guess I will tell you about it tomorrow anyways.
Lemme not waste anymore of your precious time; it's not like I have anything entertaining to talk about. I'm just tryna write ... something ... anything.
Bye sha...we go yarn later.
Hugs & Kisses

My Phone Don Pafuka
Hmmm, shey I told you yesterday about my phone acting funny, abi? Well, Uju told me to wake her up @ 5am (cause I am a very reliable alarm clock), so that she can wake her boyfriend up. I set my alarm for 5am and plugged it next 2 my bed to charge. I woke up past six and my alarm didn't ring. I flipped my phone open and the light didn't come on. I turned the light next to my bed on to look on my phone, and my phone was dead. Can you imagine?
I plugged the charger in again sha but instead of charging, the thing just froze. I tried turning it off, but it wouldn't even turn off. I had to take the battery out and try 2 restart it, but it refused to come back on. After a few beatings, it finally came on.
I called my boyfriend immediately and told him that it was all his fault that my phone was pafukaing because if he hadn't been talking about gettin me another one, my phone wouldn't be dying. Anyways, since I have not had the phone for up to year, I decided to call T-Mobile to see if they will replace it but after the guy I spoke 2 told me to tell him d color of the sticker on the battery and I told him, he said the color indicated water damage which means they are not responsible for replacing it. Oh well! The phone finally charged anyways. Let's see if it will charge today or not.
Well, that's all for now. Lemme go wash the dishes.
Nite......

I Don Tire Finish
Today is just one of those days that I am tired for no particular reason. I have not done anything tiring, but for whatever reason, I am tired. I think I slept too much.
My nokia phone has been acting funny. On monday, it started acting all retarded. It became very slow. When I flip the phone open, the light doesn't come on. I really think this phone is getting to its last days. It's ridiculous cause I always take good care of all my phones; yet somehow they always manage to stop working. You should see the way Uju and Funmi treat their phones, but it never stops working. Mine is always the one that mysteriously stops working. Well, at least this one is even giving me warning. My last two nokia phones just died and never woke up again. And what made it really bad was the fact that I didn't have an address book, so I had no backup of all my numbers. Although I have to admit that I did drop this particular phone in water...but that was four months ago though. Could that be the problem now?
My boyfriend just got some really expensive nokia phone that isn't even sold in America, and this is like his third phone in one year. Think he has a phone obsession?? I think so too. Anyways, he has been talking about getting me another nokia phone (since we both love nokia dearly) but I have been hesitating because there is nothing wrong with the one I have right now, but now that my phone is messing up, I should probably let him buy that one, so that whenever this one decides to pafuka, I would have something else to start using.
Anyways, that's it for me and my phone. By the way, it was just last year that I wrote a piece about my phone. In fact,you should check it out and tell me what you think. Click HERE to read it.

Naija Fest 2006
Where do I start? The Naija Fest was da bomb!!! Okay, I dunno wat was happening on stage (cause I really wasn't paying any attention), but seeing all those people (friends) that I hadn't seen 4 so long was really, really good.
I ate so much suya I thought my stomach will burst. I bought some for myself, but most of what I ate came from other people's plates. Gosh, being a girl is so much fun! When I bought my own suya, I had 2 buy a lot cause I was taking home for folks (mom at al), so I bought suya for $70. Even I couldn't believe I spent that much on suya (haba!). That suya man made a lotta $$, no doubt. When I told him I was buying suya for my mom, he said I should tell my mom to go to www.suyamaster.com for more suya; of course I thought he was kidding. (Certainly this suya man couldn't possibly have a website!). Out of curiosity, I decided 2 check it out, and lo & behold, he actually has a website! On his website, the suya costs $2 per stick, but @ the NaijaFest, he sold 3 for $10. The man made money oh..chei! Anyways, the good thing about this "suya master" is that he is located in D.C. which is just about 45 mins away from me. Of course, my friends and I would definitely be checkin it out.
I also got a flyer for a new Naija restaurant here in Maryland. Can't wait 2 go there. They even serve isi ewu. Yay! I haven't had isi ewu since I gat 2 this country....and that has been a very, very long time.
I took some pictures @ the NaijaFest, which I will upload later jare. I really don't feel like doing it now. I'll post them on a later post jare. Right now, I just wanna sleep.
Oh, and the trip 2 King's Dominion in Virginia was great too! I got a little tanned from being under the sun for so long, and my voice is weak cause of all the screaming I did while I was on the roller coasters. Men, they were scary!
Until then sha, we go dey yarn. Have a lovely day!
I ate so much suya I thought my stomach will burst. I bought some for myself, but most of what I ate came from other people's plates. Gosh, being a girl is so much fun! When I bought my own suya, I had 2 buy a lot cause I was taking home for folks (mom at al), so I bought suya for $70. Even I couldn't believe I spent that much on suya (haba!). That suya man made a lotta $$, no doubt. When I told him I was buying suya for my mom, he said I should tell my mom to go to www.suyamaster.com for more suya; of course I thought he was kidding. (Certainly this suya man couldn't possibly have a website!). Out of curiosity, I decided 2 check it out, and lo & behold, he actually has a website! On his website, the suya costs $2 per stick, but @ the NaijaFest, he sold 3 for $10. The man made money oh..chei! Anyways, the good thing about this "suya master" is that he is located in D.C. which is just about 45 mins away from me. Of course, my friends and I would definitely be checkin it out.

Trip To VA
Sorry I have not written in what seems like 4eva; I have been gettin ready 4 my one day trip 2 VA (Virginia). We (my friends & I) are goin to King's dominion. I'm really excited, but not really about King's Dominion. I'm excited about going there, wearin my cute new outfit @ King's Dominion, sleepin' @ a hotel dat nite, travellin back 2 Maryland on saturday, and attending the NaijaFest that same day (with another cute outfit!).
I went shoppin wit Uju 2day and that girl made me spend all I'm worth. I bought this reallllllly cute green bag, but then I don't even have anything 2 match it wit. No problem sha, I'll sort it out. I bought a another black purse from New York & Company, and I love it! Can't wait 2 lunch it on saturday.
Anyways, I'm talkin too much. As always, I will try 2 take pictures and post em for y'll 2 see. So much that isn't really a lot has been goin on in my life.
If you're paying attention, you'll know that I am in a hurry right now. Gotta go to bed cause I gotta wake up @ 6:45am to get ready. Have a wonderful day!!!
I'm not travellin wit my laptop but if I desperately need to post something, I can always do the audioblog thing which I recently signed up for. Until then sha, have a Blessed and fulfilled weekend! (I know I will).

Embarrassing Stories 1
This happened when I was nine years old. My teacher (who was born again and also my lesson teacher) had invited me and my mom to a revival service. When we got there, we got to the part of goin 2 the front of the church to "receive the Holy Spirit." My mom was amongst the many people that went to receibe the Spirit. I wasn't gonna go, but I didn't wanna look bad or look "posessed", so I decided to go.
Just as I expected, the pastor started touching people and they started falling (and some were even convulsing!...or so it seemed). Anyways, when the Pastor touched me, I wasn't knocked out by the Holy Ghost, so I decided to fake it...so that I wouldn't look evil, of course. I fell on the floor like the rest of the people that were 'touched' by the Spirit. I closed my eyes and looked like I had passed out.
The only problem was that I didn't wake up like every1 else! I slept off on the floor, and by the time I woke up, there was no one else on the floor. Every one had gotten up and gone back 2 their seats. And from the looks of things, I had been sleeping for longggggg! I was soooooooo friggin embarrassed! I'm pretty sure a lot of people knew I fell asleep on the floor. The hardest part of the whole thing was taking the walk of shame back to my seat. It felt like all eyes were on me!
Well, that's it for my embarrassing story. I will be back with more. Trust me, I do a pretty good job @ embarrassing myself. Watch out for the 2nd edition.
Have a Blessed Day!

Six Flags' Commercial
I have been lookin' out for Six Flags's commercial on tv this summer, but 2 my disappointment, it has been no where to be found. Why? Anyways, I actually went and searched for it. Yeap, that's how bad I wanted 2 see it. I love the tune, I love the guy dancin, I love everythin' bout the commercial.
It's funny how he came down from the bus and could barely walk, but as soon as he heard the tune, he started dancing like a mad man. Well, call me a mad woman, but I have been dancin like him. I've been replaying the music and dancing to it. Men, they should use me 4 a commercial like this. Stupid commercials r the best! Who wants 2 have a serious commercial? They're boring!
Watch the commercial and notice the man that suddenly starts dancin'. It's as if he couldn't control himself....like the music just took over him. His facial expression looks as if he was just there standin on his own, and then next thing, this strange dance just took over him. Haha, mehn, I can't stop laffin.
Y'll need 2 enjoy this video the best you can. It's awesome! Thank God some1 was smart enuff 2 post it. Gosh, I gotta stop writing so I can do the six flags dance.
Enjoy!

Pepper Spray Is Quite Ugh.... Peppery!
I came 2 my aunt's house yesterday because my grandma had a doctor's appointment for today (She's always havin' them, right?). Anyways, I came here yesterday afta first goin 2 D.C.'s Farmer's market. Gosh, I hate that place!
After going there yesterday, I told Funmie that when I get married, I would be sending her on errands to Farmer's Market (since she wants 2 one day own a restaurant). She said I musta lost my mind, so I told her that if she didn't go where I sent her, I would make sure that I come 2 her house and take all the food she has....cause you know her food is bangin!
Anyways, I was here (@ my aunt's house) and we were all having a family night, so to say. We were all in the living room havin a nice time oh, and then my aunt (the unmarried one) took my bag and started looking thru it. She brought out my Mace [pepper spray] (yes, I do carry mace. You never know when one might need it!) and she was all fascinated 'bout it - dunno. Next thing, she proceeded 2 spray just a lil bit in the palm of her hand - I dunno why. As if that wasn't enough, she sniffed it and of course she started coughing non-stop. Once again, I dunno why she did a thing like that. I really cannot explain the strange behaviors of my family, 4 real.
In less than a minute, everyone in the house was coughing, includin me. Even the people upstairs were coughin sef. My grandma and other aunt were pissed as shit. The culprit herself ran upstairs in2 the room and locked the door. I could not stop laffin!!!........and coughing!!!!
Today is my fifth day wit Ms. Flow and she should really be going by now, but I think she will not be gone till tomorrow cause she started in the late hours of saturday. Oh well. As long as she is gone by the 11th when I would be travellin 2 King's Dominion in Virginia. Of course, you know I can't be wearin a bloody diaper while I'm tryna swim...not that I can swim but...
Anyways...I guess that's it for now. While I was taking a shower, I thought about something 2 add to my book. Gots 2 go now. I need 2 get a typin before I forget it.
Hugs & Kisses

Shame On Me
You know that saying, "you fool me once, shame one you; you fool me twice, shame on me."? Well, I been fooled twice....and by the same person. And even under the same circumstances. I dunno why I let it happen...especially since I literally saw it comin'. But that's by the way sha. There are somethings in life one may never be able 2 explain, but for everything else, there is master card. Needless 2 say, I do not wish 2 discuss the details of what I just said - no matter who wants 2 know.
I've been so cranky today...for several reasons. One is because Ms. Flow has gat me right where she wants me, and the other reason is because of something that will happen tomorrow. I was so hurt/pissed by it but when I tried 2 talk about it 2 some who usually listens, the person said "yea, whatever!". Sometimes I really dunno why I bother. I am used 2 sorting my mess out myself, so I dunno why I went and got myself all tangled up. It's not even that serious! So basically, I've been goin thru a buncha emotions 2day - happy, sad, pissed, angry, hurt. And I've reacted in different ways - laughed, slept, cried, read my book. took a long shower, took a long walk, etc. (And no, I do not wish to talk about this with anyone either! Lemme get ova my last attempt 2 'talk about it')
I dunno why life just can't go the way we want it to. Why must life take several detours into Too-Bad land? Why can't we just have it the way we want it? I guess that wouldn't be life then. That would be us dreaming! It's only monday, and I already feel pissed about tuesday, wednesday and thursday. Thursday will be a lil betta, I hope.
My eyes are so bloodshot, you'd think I guzzled down a bottle of hot vodka. But that isn't the case @ all. My voice is almost gone - I dunno why. I haven't been screamin.
I took a long walk this evening and it was great. I left my house past 7pm and came back past 9pm, so I was gone 4 about 2 hours. By the time I came back, the sun had been replaced by the moon. A fine moon, by the way.
...and for all the people who read this blog, y'll really need 2 learn 2 leave comments, damn it!
Alright, that's it 4 now.

Hella Cranky
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.
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.

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...
