2010-12-30T14:45:00.000-08:00

As usual I like to do a little roundup of the year in significant aspects of my life. You should too.

Faith
This year I became an official member of my church, I also became a teacher of the Children's ministry. I would say during some parts of the year, my walk with God was strengthened. Although there where days when it was definitely lacking. One thing I tried to do more this year was be thankful in ALL things. The good and the bad. I always thanked God. I felt very blessed this year. and again I am THANKFUL!

Family
My siblings and I grew closer this year. I think the day we created our BBM group was the day everything changed for the better. It amazing how close we all are now thanks to a little device. My parents, God just continued to use them to bless me this year. I am so proud of them and I cant even start to mention all the testimonies in one post.Because for real its too much. P.S I officially became Canadian this year!

Friendship
I think I lost one of my closest friends this year to a bad argument. I have never fought with a friend so I don't know what I am supposed to do. Overall I still have my close circle of trust peeps. I added a new person to the circle this yr too that I met of twitter. She is a really good person and has been there numerous times and hanging with her is a blast! I learned so many things about friendships this yr. You don't have to live in the same city with some people, for them to be your best friend. Also you cant force some friendships, sometimes they have lived their life span...

Relationship
WOW..This was the year when hurricane Lohi blew into the world. Twas as if people who knew me before where afraid to tell me they liked me or maybe I just became pretty overnight *insert LOL here* I was a good girl this yr: Didn't increase my "body count"lol. Went on too many dates, met too many guys. Kissed a lot! hehe. I had an amazing year just being a single lady. Now its the end of the year and I would probably be in an official relationship in the next few weeks. Am I happy??? YES! is he great?? (which one???..LOL) YESSSSS! Do I believe I have found "the one" errrr I have NO CLUE! In retrospect I am happy for all my experiences in life so far! and I just LOVE being happy!

Finances
I paid off some debts this year. I am working on my down payment for my house. I need to own one in the next yr or two. I think sometimes I was careless with money(spontaneous trips and purchases) but overall I think I did a decent job saving and being responsible for myself

Education/Career
I am about to start a new job in the new year.*SOMEBODY SCREAM THANK YOU JESUS HERE* I am very excited with where it can take me. I am very grateful to God for this opportunity. Education wise, I should have been in school in the later part of the year, but I was too lazy. I also plan to be in school starting January or April. I am already working towards my empire. and I love it.. Keep the name Lohi Creations in your head.. its gonna be a TAKEOVER.

Health
I stopped dieting and gyming. I just relaxed about it and made some lifestyle changes and I lost weight. I still don't drink pop, although I drink a little too much wine these days. I cooked more than I ate out. I only had my regular cramps and migraines and freaking HIVES.I blame #oneofmyfollowers for this..smh!..hopefully 2011 is better! Team size 4! If Jhud can do it, so can I! #GBAM!

Travel
I took too many trips this year! I think that's where most of my money (I could have been saving) went! but I would not change anything in the world for the fun and experiences I had! I shall now try to remember all the places I went to. Toronto, Montreal, Hamilton,Calgary,Windsor, Detroit,New York-New Jersey,San-Diego,Mexico,Los Angeles, Banff,Edmonton,Baltimore(DMV. After this yr. I only have one more continent to visit..Australia..ohh and Antarctica...RME!I had too much fun on my trips! Next yr's lineup is already looking too mad!

ADDICTIONS
My continuous addiction to the Internet increased as usual. I also became addicted to photography. I became addicted to recipes and learning about the roots of foods and herbs. I became even more attached to my phone (#teamBB) I became addicted to making happiness my only goal in life. I became addicted to traveling, I cannot wait to start making eough money so I can ravel like every two weeks.

Overall it was an AMAZING YEAR! my most carefree year so far. If everything goes according to HIS will,. I would have a new job, new man and new car in the first few months of 2011. I am happier than I can ever remember. I pray God continues to give me happiness and I pray I continue to grow as I discover my purpose within Him

Here is a toast to a good 2010...2011 LEHHHH GOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

2011 Motto: #EverlastingJoy!

Happy New year BlogFam!!!

Hugs and Kisses

2010-12-01T19:53:00.000-08:00

ITS MY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't ever remember being this excited to be older. Earlier today, the devil tried to take away my happiness. I became nervous thinking of all the things I had not achieved on my "life timeline" on where I thought I should be by now. A good friend quickly reminded me that I still had the greatest gift-life- which meant I still had time to accomplish all those things and MORE! I smiled and my happiness came back!

This year has been crazy!!! This was my bare it all-be carefree-no longer stuck within my ways-try new things-be truthful to my self-just LIVE year! I am so glad I did it that way I would not change any of it for anything. I grew so much thi year, as a woman and in my spiritual life. I think I am a better person. I started new projects, completed others. made new contacts, solidified old ones. I learned new parts of my self I did not know existed. My strength was tested. My heart almost got broken. I laughed like never before. I cried more than I let on...some where tears of joy.

This day I am thankful for two people. My Mummy and my Daddy, who have taught me what it is to love a person selflessly. Even when I do not pick up their calls, when I am rude, and on days when I feel like I don't need them. They somehow(because they love me) stick around and God knows I am VERY grateful. Without them(and God) I AM N. O. T. H. I. N. G.

I am getting too emotional now! I am a big girl today! I have said my many prayers to God. He definitely knows what his plans are for me and what I would like as well. One of my favorite verses in the bible is Isaiah 55:8
"For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, said the LORD"

..and knowing God's thoughts for me, I am sure this year would be BRILLIANT!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!

#BIGSHOUOUT TO my BlogFam who sent me presents for my birthday! I was sooooooooo shocked! I always put up that list just because and some of my dreams have come though already! THANK YOU! Your rewards are in heaven!
This song brings me peace....:)

Have a blessed day!!!

Free Fallin'....

2010-09-24T07:22:00.000-07:00

-What am I doing for Independence day? Well I am part of a campaign started by my friend Jeti It is called #GiveMe50. As we all know, Nigeria is turning 50 next week and I really am not in the mood for a celebration. This is because I do not feel I have anything to celebrate. Instead I am asking Nigeria to do ONE thing for me and maybe next yr I would have a cause to celebrate. I am asking for an end(or maybe less, or a start towards) to sexual abuse in homes. The house girls sleeping with the little boys-the uncles sleeping with the little girls-the oga's sleeping with the house girls-rape-date rapes,etc. I feel we as Nigerians never discuss it because it is such an offensive topic, BUT I am willing to be a spokes person on this issue and maybe in the future I would tell you guys why I am so passionate about this aspect of Nigeria's development. In the mean time go to #GIVEME50NIGERIA TO SUPPORT, LEARN JOIN, ETC.

-moving on....FYI--->Music is my therapy(after shopping) I listened to a Fab mixtape recently by the guys and girls over at We Plug G.O.O.D. Music and all I can say is Fabness all around..DOWNLOAD BY CLICKING THE LINK

-Also my friends at 360Nobs.com Have an amazing collection of OLD Nigerian music. Listening to the list brought about a feeling of nostalgia. iLove.

-Why do I feel like I am meant to be with an Igbo man for the rest of my life? I just have this preference for them. I cant even explain it.. actually I can, they are FINER and have MORE drive...#IMHO!...I Still love Yoruba, Edo, akwaibom, etc men tho...LOL!

-RE: Eddie Long issue, I am currently praying for the Body Of Christ aka The Church. I am also working on a post regarding a discussion that we had on twitter on Wednesday. I need to present my opinion with facts and proper findings so bare with me.

-ONFRIENDS: Today one year ago, I met one fo my closest friends right now. We had 'met' other times in the past but never said anything to each other. I remember him asking me for my pin at this event and weirdly enough I had lost my phone earlier that day. (HE STILL BELIEVES I JUST DIDN'T WANT TO GIVE IT TO HIM....HAHAHAHA) I Love this man(platonic ally) with all my heart, he makes me want to be a better person, teaches me about life, tells me when a guy is bullshitting me and who is for real, compliments me, helps me, is there for me DAILY, supplies me with indomie, amongst others. He has seen me cry more times in a yr than most of my other friends. I totally forgot it was our one yr 'anniversary' today. He called me at midnight and reminded me, while saying some of the most amazing things ever. I had tears in my eyes. I LOVE THIS MAN! Here is a toast to a true friend! Happy Anni T.D!(In your mind now, you will feel special...)

InTwitter Woes,

-Isn't it funny how people on twitter HYPE a song or artist so much that you believe they are the next best thing since slice bread. Then you 'logoff' go into the real world and talk about 'X' person and people are like 'huh? who is that?' and then you try to explain and they are like 'nope never heard of him/her'..BUAHAHAHAHA! Please Artists, producers, designers, etc promote yourself OUTSIDE twitter. There is a HUGE population that are not on there. They matter.

-I read a blog post(More like tirade) the other day calling out naija artist for "feeling themselves" because they don't reply to tweets and when they meet their fans in public they are rude...O_o...err OK buddy...I really don't want to go into that right now. Lets just say, I want to know the last time Keri Hilson, Rihanna, Kim or even Lil duval replied a regular fan.. double standards much?

-Happiness is a BEAUTIFUL THING!**HUGE GRIN**

Note: The campaign is not yet fully lunched yet. It would be launched officially on October 1st 2010and the website would have more information.

Light Skinned

2010-09-15T10:05:00.000-07:00

This is a rant....if you take offence easily, please exit this page now. Thank You.

OK so I am light skinned(for those of you who do not know). I have been this way since I was born..duh!..and up until I moved to Canada like 6yrs ago. I did not know that being light skinned was a "big deal" or seen as an "easier" way to achieve success. This rant is because I am sick and tired of all the light skinned hate/bashing. I was born light skinned. God made me that way. I did not go to him and beg and say "OHH LORDDDDDDDDDDD PLS MAKE ME LIGHT SKINNED So that I would be able to go through life "easier". I did not gravel and complain and tell God that if he did not make me light skinned I would not go to earth(LOL..that imagery just made me laugh). NO. God on his own made me light skinned. So I am SICK AND TIRED of all the crap I hear when it comes to light skinned people. It is so irritating to see people act like the reason I get some things in life is because I am light skinned. GTFOH!!!!!!!! do you know how hard I work because I am a pretty light skinned woman? Do you know what it takes for someone to take me seriously? that I am not another pretty face with an air head? No you don't. Now there are some people that believe light skinned is better and they will be very sufficeint but I do not think I am better than anyone. People now think saying they prefer dark skinned chic's makes them a better person.. #NEGROPLEASE. its all about preference. People complain when a celeb uses light skinned girls in his videos??? Like what aren't we human beings??? What if no dark skinned girls came for the audition? Did some of you think about that through your heads? I am just tired of light skinned people always being beat down, like we BEGGED to be light skinned, and as if we don't have to work for anything. Some idiot even told me the other day that most light skinned girls are not even pretty. That just because we are light skinned we get this 'pass' ...*ROLLING MY FECKING EYES*

WHATEVER...I JUST SAW SOME BULLSHIT TWEETS TODAY....AND I WAS ANGRY ALL OVER AGAIN.
SORRY FOR THE RANT.
P.S. I SWEAR I AM ON THE VERGE OF BECOMING A MEAN/BAD B***H AGAIN. MY NICENESS IS BEING MISTAKATELING FOR WEAKNESS AND I HAVE PRETTY MUCH HAD IT.

p.s I am really happy though! LIKE CLOUD 9 STUFF
P.S.S I get to have indomie soon! *bbm dancing emotion*
p.s.s iShould do a post about my new house...hmmmmm
p.s.s.s I know there are some stupid people out there that take the whole light skinned thing too far. I was just upset joor.

Hugs & Kisses

Happy Birthday Mum.

2010-08-22T06:39:00.000-07:00

Today is my mothers birthday and I woke up really early and prayed to God on her behalf. I thanked God so much for her life. for her health, for her personality, for her strength, and at some point I started crying because I just realized all this woman has done for me. Now I would not begin to list them all her because I would be writing for months but all I can say is I am grateful.

The carrying a child for 9 months bit is already hard enough but the real work begins when the child is born. I would not be the way I am today if not for my mother. I am a strong, independent, smart, Christian, beautiful woman because of my mother. The discipline she instilled in me growing up has made me the woman I am today. I am so VERY Thankful for her. My mum is my rock. The great woman of God I desire to be when I grow up. She balances a career in nursing, being an entrepreneur and being a full time mother to four children.

She taught me to cook, clean, dress up, put on makeup, do my hair, study, pray, read my bible, do my nails, in general the fundamentals of being a good woman. I don't know where or what I would be without her. Today my only gift to her is prayer and love. The flowers die, the kitchen utensils stop working. but my love would always be there and my prayers would take her father than ever. I love my mum! She is my twin! I cannot wait for the day I start taking care of her as she has done for the past 20+ years for me.

Funny story: In my first yr of university, my parents helped me move to a city 5hrs away. we drove down and I checked into residence. While I went to familiarize myself with the campus, my parents went shopping and bought me a laptop, printer, duvet and other necessities. The store (future shop) was out of the printer my parents picked, So I was supposed to go back two weeks later to get the printer. I walked into the store two weeks later and this happens.....

Clerk:wohhhh woahhhh woahhhhhhh.
Me: huh??? (surprised look on face)
Clerk: you are here to pick up a printer eh?
Me: Yes. How did you know?
Clerk: Damn OMG. OMG! you look EXACTLY like your mother.
Me.(confused face)
Clerk: WOW I have never seen two people look alike like this. Like you walked in here and I knew you where her daughter.
ME..LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Yes this happens everyday. If you see me and my mum, we are TWINS! that's why I call her my twin! hehehe...Here as some pictures to prove it..:)

In LA last week!!!---Family Vacation!!!

Nigeria '09....Family vacation!

Happy birthday Mummy. This one is just for you! Now praying to God that I look this great at 53!!!!!!!!

Have a great weekend and week. This post might be disjointed, because I didn't over-think it. I just wrote.

Hugs and Kisses
Ms.O

p.s check the food blog later in the day. I would update it. I would do it right now, but I am almost late for church..:)....xx!

We Are everything from lovers to friends...and ViceVersa

2010-08-10T07:46:00.000-07:00

My mind is in 5million directions right now. iFeel like pouring out. As usual you guys get to be a part of this fun fun fun experience. Are you excited now??? ya?? ya???? YES???...sigh OK fine! here we go!

Is it weird that my only goal in life is to be happy. OK so I am weird I have a timeline I work with in regards to my life and every yr I have accomplishments, goals etc to accomplish on it. The only constant in this timeline is happiness and it stretches from when I started this timeline to age 45 where it currently ends. I just want to be happy. All the time. I would never sacrifice my peace of mind for someone or something. E no too poss--not possible. That said I AM HAPPY!

Can you overdose on mangoes? Coz I bought a box of mangoes on Thursday last week.(COS IT WAS $1.89 FOR THE ENTIRE BOX!!!)Went away for the weekend and they where all ripe when I got back on Monday. I ate 4 in about 2hrs last night..THEY ARE SOO GOOD AND TASTY!

I learned what Okafor's Law meant recently..Oh God pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee don't ever make me be a victim of Okafor's law! #prayingfervently! Oh wait I already was??? #GOTTTDAMMIT!!!! #Kanyeshrug. (p.s. if you don't know, google is your friend)

I saw this tweet two days ago "Wait oh so all you girls that once you get boyfriends you forget who your REAL friends are, who would be there to comfort you when y'all breakup? #TRICKPLEASE" iDied of laugther! Oh how people forget..#sigh! (I really hope you guys don't breakup though)

My besties once told me: "Give me any two best friends who claim they are closer than close. I can make them dislike each other because you see girls are VERY fickle minded and would drop years of friendship for a man" I disagreed then. After recent happenings, not so much.....smh! P.S I heart the men in my life. They stay teaching me life lessons.

Delusions are a bad thing. I read some things and I go wow if only you know the real truth. Sadly I cant tell you, coz I am not that kind of person and you seem SO happy. Oh well living in a lie must be fun for some..yes? no? maybe? #Lohishrug

iCannot wait to be back in school in September! Ohh the joys of writing and reading and learning. I hate school. I don't know why I am so excited. I think its because I actually have a plan now. YIIPPPPIEEE!

iThink I met a good man. *fingers crossed* *knocks on wood not to jinx it* *smiles*

In twitter woes-news.

Am I the only person that gets irritated when people subliminal about their "HIM" or "HER'. No grown ass person should be putting their business out there on the inter webs for people who don't know you to see and then what be jealous? So we should tear our bra and use it as glasses? or jump from 3rd mainland bridge and die?(I always wanted to say that) hehe..Its just one of my pet peeves. I believe in discretion. HUGE ADVOCATE. PLEASE READ THIS BY MR. BEREOLAESQUE himself. #CHURCHHHHH

Gbaguan Mopol: absolutely needed. Did you guys go through "its" timeline to see the crime against the English language that where being committed? GOTTTDAMMIT! If these are the people that would be teaching our future children and are supposed to be the "leaders of tomorrow" then #NAIJAWEHAVEAPROBLEM!

Ok...I'm done!

Made in Canada

2010-07-30T23:01:00.000-07:00

Thanks to twitter and the likes, I have began to talk to a lot of non-Canadians who always seem to believe we are just these 'wanna-be' Americans O_O! So I took it upon myself to 'ejumacate" the world on the beautiful contributions my wonderful country of Canada has brought to the world..hehe

- Drake- Do I REALLY need to explain why Drake is one of our greatest exports? He is not only the most talked about 'rapper' right now, but how many people do you get a Grammy nomination without an EP/Mixtape? Many of you might not know this but Drake was a TV star prior to his music career on a Canadian teenage drama called Degrassi. He was wheelchair JIMMY!!! hehehe. Shoutout to Drake for putting Canada/Toronto/T.dot on the map

-Justin Bieber- WOW..Justin Justin Justin. Do you know the city where this kid comes from is smaller than my village in Nigeria? LOL! He is now a world renowned celeb, with the most views on YouTube, longest TT on twitter, and many more accolades. All thanks to my baby daddy Usher.

The Big Apple and Me

2010-07-09T21:21:00.000-07:00

I had always wanted to visit New york since like ummm FOREVER. So when my girls asked me sometime in April about a trip to NYC, I was definitely excited. We finally settled on a date that worked for everybody and later found out the Nigerian Reunion was on the same weekend. We decided to do our own thing as well as attend some NRC events. I needed some time to clear my head, meet new people, network, and just be FREE!!! I had A LOT of fun with my girls, met some new people, defiantly networked and visited one of the greatest cities in the world!!!

This weekend I met too many Nigerian Celebs:Basket mouth, Comedy Jedi, Wale Gates, Ramsey Nouah, Nnenna, Mrs Omokorode M.I Abaga and last but not least Banky W.

I also met a lot of my tweetfam, which was VERY EXCITING. They include @kidkonnect, @tommypearldee @kuitkatt @oluwasparkle @amebor @solitudechossen @mdemuren @temiwelli @naijadiva @chinnyn and many many more that I dont rememeber

I also met one blogger Miss Enigma aka Undercover007!!! She is sooooo pretty! and a very nice person. I wish we had more time to hangout. there is always a next time!! I am already planning my trip back.

In regards to the NRC, they put on a great event although it lacked proper organization in some parts, I do think they still need to be appreciated for putting the event together. The advice I have for the NRC executives is that they need to become more organized in general and let go of generic Nigerian attitudes towards things like poor time management. In general I had an AMAZING TIME, with my friends, tweetfam, blogfam and everyone else I met there. Here are some pictures!! Taking by me!!

PICTURES REMOVED AFTER TWO MONTHS!!!!!

Ok I'm tired..these are enough pics ya???? If you want to see more, be nice to me, buy me shoes and I would give you my facebook link..LOL!

Theme song for the weekend- "party hard'and "empire state of mind"

sidenote...after not wearing anything longer than my knees this weekend, I am punishing myself to only long dresses for the rest of the summer. The Ashewo in me shall not be seen again.

Peace, love and red velvet cake(yes i just made that up)
P.S Can you see that I am now FAT!, dont worry, working on it!

Hugs and Kisses.

Is this what.....

2010-07-08T15:31:00.001-07:00

............H********K feels like????
Aint that a female dog!!!!!

I once tweeted this "I want to become well versed in the bible, so when I face any situation, I know what scriptures to read that would provide the comfort I need"

...and I found this today...

Isaiah 40:18-31
"Do you not know? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint"

It shall be well..:!

I'll do a picture post later today about my trip to NYC! Funtimes! with my LUVZZZZ!

Hugs and Kisses
Ms.O

Day 2....of Forever....

2010-06-22T20:10:00.000-07:00

I made the decison that "now was the time" to SPEAK or forever hold my peace
I had tossed in bed at night for days on end, which had turned into weeks
I had thought of all the possible outcomes,scenarios et el--prepared for my fate
I had rehearsed this speech like 100 + times(can you tell this was hard?)
So on Sunday after church and shopping and cleaning and cooking
I dailed THE number 24 times, but hung up
So I took the easy(easier) way out and PINGED on BBM,
..and I typed, and typed and typed and typed.
...but I could not hit send for another 30mins. it just stayed 'unsent'...while I cleaned some more.(my house was already spotless at this point)
I Finally did after a friend talked me through it and finally in what seemed like years, HE replied. I was shaking.
I got my answer(s),NOT what I wanted to hear(read).but knowing is always better right?
THIS is day two of forever... it is hard. but...

LESSON LEARNED: My philosphy works--> "Allow room for major fuckery, so when someone disappoints you, you just shrug and keep it moving"

This whole talking about feelings thing is actually great. Watch me finally become mean. P.S A mean Ms.O is not a good thing. #EVL(Evil villan laugh)

Song That reflects my Mood.:
Tiwa Savage Kele Kele Love

P.S I still HATE/DESPISE Subliminals on TWITTER! #ThatisAll
Can you guys tell I am WAY happier than I have been in weeks?? Yes? No?..meh!
Hugs and Kisses

Ima Mi (My love)

2010-06-19T00:18:00.000-07:00

iWon I just realized i had not done a post on that yet! YIPPIE!!! I WON I WON I WON! so Thank full to everyone that voted, If you are ever in the Ottawa region. Please stop by mine for some good ol home made dinner, all on me!

I opened my e-mail at about 8am Tuesday morning, was looking for a particular email from my mum so I checked my junk. I found direction. I had been praying, crying, starving myself, fasting. and there it was in an e-mail. So thankful to God for the little mercies.

I remember too many things through smell and music. A lot of songs remind me of different people and circumstances( i cannot listen to certain songs anymore). Perfume: I can smell exes, friends, anyone from miles away. sometimes I am on the train and I smell a "friend".. iSmile.

friends...sigh! I really do not know what I would do without mine. I hung out with my close circle all through last weekend. One of us was visiting from out of town. I appreciate them SO MUCH. They gave me the push I so badly needed. They even had a surprise Grad dinner for me!!!! I was so surprised! LOVES THEM!

In this same breath (read as post) Some 'friendships' are not worth it.

Sometimes I just want to turn off my phone and be out of reach for hours,and it just be with my thoughts.However i remember that there are people I talk to all the
time(sister,bff,besties) that once they cannot reach me for 30mins they panic #youknowyourselves.

Sports, I wont say I am a HUGE fan, but I watch alot of sports, my brother plays football so I had to watch so I could undertsand. I Watch hockey cos of the Canadian in me. Basketball was my ish when I was in HS, now I watch whenever I can catch a game. Soccer I watch often, I only support #teamsupereagles though. Does this make me a sports person?..O_O

EHEM EHEM *clears throat* " NEW YORK, CONCRETE JUNGLE WHERE DREAMS ARE MADE OF, THERE's NOTHING YOU CANT DO"--> T-Xdays

I wish I knew how to discuss my feelings. I really really realllllllly wish I knew how to. I cant even write it down, for fear that someone might read it. it all stays inside me. I dont talk.

In that same breathe(read post). that is about to change. I am about to become outspoken about my feelings. wear my feelings on my sleeve, be an open book et el. *asking God for strength on this one*

I do not blog about relationships because I do not think I have had enough experience to talk about love and all that jazz. I have alot of thoughts about them, they might be too radical and pessimistic.

Thank God for new budding relationships with....MYSELF! Step 1. *SELF LOVE*

I love peppermint tea, raspberry tea, orange peko tea, mango tea! I love TEA!

"If you love something let it go, if it comes back that is how you would know"--> *rollseyes*---->DEAD LINES--SURE!

Have a great weekend lovelies!

Hugs and Kisses
Ms.O...xx!

P.S My title is a song by Eedres AbdulKarem ft Keke and Vicky called Calabar Girl. he sings with my Mummy's name(Ima which means Love). I have had the song on repeat all evening.

P.S.S Happy Fathers day in advance to all the fathers out there. My daddy is still better than your daddy! hehe..:D

Full stops and Exclamation marks.

2010-06-01T17:52:00.000-07:00

I went into Chapters(book store)to get a novel that was recommended by a friend..I walked out with the LSAT book. I have given myself till the end of this week to decide if I should return it or do the damn thing!

There is nothing like anger/frustration to get you motivated. I got home threw above book and my purse on my bed, changed into gym clothes and ran for 2hrs straight by the Ottawa River. Got back home and jumped into the pool. I wish my pool was bigger so I could do laps.

I still do NOT feel better.

My phone has been off since 12:00 noon today...I have a BB, If you know me, You would not believe this! I need to be alone

I need direction. I am fasting next week.

I cannot wait to go to NYC in July! I am so over and done with life in general. I think I need a BREAK! Weired cos always get a break on weekends. I think I just need to be alone... #HermitMode

Have you voted for me for Best food blog on AWARDS Please do! No dulling no fronting!(Ms.O's kitchen)

It is June. I thank God for everything so far. I am just not at 100% today. I do not even know if I would post this up...

TV is so disgusting to me. I do not know how people just watch random things. I watch like 3 shows and that ia it..When I move into my one bedroom house. I might not have a TV.

I went to a shooting range 2weeks ago. I shot a gun. I liked it. I want one. I am thinking of joining a Gun club.

I have an ice-box where my heart used to be.

SATC2 was NOT a bad movie! I do not know who actually went to watch it expecting a serious storyline or anything too deep. I liked it just as it was. Just like i liked confessions of a shopaholic, He's not just that into you, and such movies.

I was with my friends baby yesterday. God is truly wonderful. Like WOW. The definition of 'creation' hit me yesterday. it is making something from scratch i.e nothing. I think I am rambling.

I might not be on speaking terms with some very important people shortly. God help me please

I always say "Allow room for major fuckrey" This just means that you should expect people to dissapoint you, so when they do, you do not even get mad, cos well you expected it anyway.

I am getting emotional again.. I'm out.

Hugs and Kisses

THE RANDOM RANDOMOSITY WANDERING THROUGH MY MIND RANDOMLY!! (you like my title ya?)

2010-05-20T11:55:00.000-07:00

Hello, I have never really done one of these random posts before, But I feel the need to let alot of things off my chest. So here we go.

I was Nominated for a Nigerian Blogger Award!! For my food blog CLICKHERE! I feel very honored to be recognized by my peers. It all started as a hubby, but the whole idea is going some where bigger soon. Of course I will keep you all in the know! Speaking of food I am going to apply to culinary school!!!!! MY DADDY HAS APPROVED. The question is when.

I am at a good place in my life, even though it really could be better, grad is in about a month, I could really care less about attending the ceremony. I am not in the mood for the formalities or the whole hoopla surrounding it. I would rather go on a vacation to Cancun or Cuba, or St tropez, somewhere..anywhere

I am overweight! Yes I said it! I am working on it. Now if only my mum would pay for my personal trainer,I feel like I need one. I do not eat either. I had 3cups of coffee today, and it is already 3pm.

Starbucks/TimHortons needs to start paying me. I have put at least 3 of the managers children through University.. in the past 5yrs...

I hate to admit it, but I do have feelings(I am a huge pessimist). I am the first to say 'I do not care" about alot of things, from men, to reputation, to gossip. But deep down I do. **SIDE NOTE** Yes I know you are reading this. I care that you are lying to me, but like you always say, you are sheltering me from the truth, so I do not get hurt.. PURE BULLSHIT!

Why do men lie? I read Vera and Nicey's posts... such EFFTARDS!!!! arghhhh! but I guess women lie too right?.. *rollseyes*

I love to play catch up with friends! BBM-ed with Lady Koko(EX BLOGGER) FOR OVER 3HRS last Friday!! FILLED WITH LAUGHTER, CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM , HEARTFELT EMOTIONS, EVERYTHING! iLove that chic!

You can definitely love people you have never met! I love SOME of my twitter fam dearly. No I am not like 80% of Nigerians on twitter falling in love with online characters and flying across the world to visit them.(I don't have a problem with it though) LMAO!!! #shoutout to all my UnderG runs people, we see you! If you are guilty, it is ok. Love is a beaurriful thing!

In line of twitter, #SHOUTOUT to those people that are not on twitter, or even those that are not following you, but know what you are doing 24/7. How you ask? because they have you on search and have your TL on refresh. Some even start following you so that they can see your tweets with one particular guy...and call said guy when they think you are visiting him. #LWKMD! I love you people. You make my twi-life fun!

Why is it the one you love is never in love with you?..and all these men wont just leave me alone! Cant a babe just be single till her next birthday again?.. 2010 is Ms. O wild out yr! **Its about time I did a post on "the men in my life** HEHE..**ADJUSTS HALO**

The ONE iLike...sigh! Somethings just cant work can they?

OK this is too random! I am done... Voting for Nigerian Blog awards beings next week. VOTE WISELY!

Hugs and Kisses

Photography- I have always been very interested in pictures. I got my first camera when I was 10.I am hoping to take some classes at the local college here to improve this passion of mine.

Last but not least I love LIFE! Yes I try to celebrate my life everyday. Some days are harder than others, but i do try to be thankful for life. When days like April 22nd come and go with so much bad news, it reminds us as human beings why we should ALWAYS be thankful and learn to live your life to the fullest and like it is GOLDEN.

Gives Me Hope

2010-04-18T19:40:00.000-07:00

Anybody who knows me well knows that I am a HUGE internet junkie. I visit too many blogs daily.from Nigerian blogs,to music blogs, to cooking blogs to photography blogs, to entertainment blogs to just random blogs. I always seem to find the strangest things online. I love the world wide web Whenever I find new interesting site to add to my google reader, I am always so happy. Sometime last year a website sprung up called Fmylife this website is a random collection of everyday mishaps from people around the world. The statements always end with FMYLIFE and are most times funny but sometimes actually really sad. It is a funny website to go on to pass time and laugh at the mishaps that happen to others(as long as its not me, its funny! #evl). Two weeks ago however a friend told me about another website called GivesmeHopewhich is a positive version of the aforementioned website. I visited the website for the first time last week Monday when I woke up angry(does that happen to other people?. I just wanted some hope and viola I went there and it did give me hope and make me smile at the little kindness that is left in this harsh harsh world.

Just a short post to give somebody hope.
Here is a song that always makes me smile whenever things aren't the greatest and for sure it GIVES ME HOPE

...and a pic of me..Just because I can...LOL!

Have a blessed week y'all
Hugs and Kisses
Ms.O

P.S VISIT 360NOBS ITS A REALLY COOL WEBSITE AND A WHOLE BUNCH OF BLOGGERS AND TWITTER FAM WRITE THERE. SUPPORT SUPPORT SUPPORT!!!!
Kisses..xx!

P.S.S Its my 2nd baby brothers birthday in a couple of hours!! I feel so old! I miss my family so much! I am thinking of moving to the city they live in...sigh!

Love

2010-03-29T09:21:00.000-07:00

****THE MUSIC IS THIS WAY--------->
PRESS PLAY WHILE READING. IT WILL BE TAKEN DOWN AFTER TWO WEEKS*****

To find love, you've got to define love
Cos see the definition specifies
The destination of the search that lies ahead for eternity
The seed of love is birth when the soul
identifies the need for it
I've been in places so far from what I craved,
behaved in ways I scared true love away,
pretended I had figured it out,
when sincerely I was on the wrong ground.
heading for loneliness and second best alternatives
cheap substitutes for the real thing,
Love is hidden not so it cant be found,
but so it can be embellished.
Love doesn't want to be taken for granted
nor mistaken for the romantic notion
that it can be created or depicted by a rose.
Love is what it says it is,
not some teenage disease that communicates with a kiss.
Love is undeniably the daugther of truth and a brother to hope.
Loves deserves to be known.
but would only be introduced by and to no other
than the one who is willing to learn exactly what love is.
Love is committing suicide to your past
and letting the present breathe in you
so that chances and possibility
and loves purpose is assured to you.
love is letting go of second guess emotions
and trusting the wisdom of the heart
to lead with the fearful hands of time tell a different story.
love is smiling yet in the face of no,
believing when the right of reason,
and the melody of reality in cent to lose faith in the very moment
with sight translates to joy,
love is singing the same song to
The changing heartbeat becoming over familiar to your evolving reason
because the soul knows that entertaining the impossibility of the possible
open to the painful wound of doubt
which abuses the adulterated accuracy of love,
Love is talking not TELLING,
Love is listening not hearing.
Love is learning not knowing,
Love is being not feeling,
Love is all that it claims to be,
Love is who I live to be.
Love is everything to me

Someone asked me recently if I have ever been in love, and I had a hard time answering them because I really do not know what love is. I would like to think I was in love once upon a time, but when I sit down and think about it, I don't think that emotion, feeling, situation can be defined as love. For lack of better words, I would say it was more of caring (deeply),liking(deeply) or maybe even lust(?). This song is by Lami. It strives to give a concise definition of what love is. I don't know how accurate she is but she does bring up some very important/interesting emotions and thoughts. After listening to this song repeatedly(I have had the album since November), I don't know if I would ever feel this way about somebody. I am too pessimistic when it comes to the male species after seeing, reading and hearing and also experiencing too many horror stories. I just cannot bring myself to trust somebody with my heart this much. I never give 100% of myself because I don't think I can take a real heartbreak. Now don't get me wrong, I have also seen, read, heard and experienced the notion called love in different forms and it can be a beautiful thing between two people..sigh! I just don't think its for me...I don't even know why I wrote this post...oh well...

Have a fab week y'all
Hugs and Kisses
Ms.O

P.S The audio that plays is by Lami Phillips a very talented Nigerian singer/songwriter IMHO. I love her album called Intuition it can be purchased on www.notjustok.com.

P.S.S This is not my Fave song on the album..iLike this one called 'You' though I thought it could've sounded better..:)

P.s.s.s Visit my foodBLOG HERE

P.s.s.s.s I prolly murdered some lines of this song! I tried joor some lines where to hard to understand..:(

Bisous!..xx!

Demanding JosTice

2010-03-14T20:59:00.000-07:00

Last week Monday we all woke up to the news of brutal killings in Jos Nigeria. I was overwhelmed when I saw the pictures and read the news of the brutal killings In my country where a couple of years ago we where awarded with the title of "world's happiest people". I remember in December when Mutallab attempted to "bomb" the United Arline's plane, there was a facebook group created and it titled "I am Nigerian, I don't kill innocent people" (paraphrased-I don't remember the exact title) I remember a lot of people on my facebok list joined that group in an effort to try and clear the name of Nigeria in the media. Three months later, there is a near genocide (in my opinion) in Jos, and yes Nigerians where killing innocent Nigerians. Some might bring in the religious card to try and diffuse blame as usual but I look at facts and history and cannot necessarily place the blame anywhere except on the specific individuals that took a machete into their hands and killed other human beings.

A Friend of mine asked this on Facebook On Tuesday : So how come Yoruba Muslims and Christians live peacefully in Lagos with no wahala? This was my answer MyOpinion..the atrocities are not mainly religiously rooted. there is so much more to it.. unfortunately most people only see the religious aspect of it and forget the socio-economic issues amongst others that could lead to such hatred...it is all really sad...Yes Religion plays a part, but it is not the only reason which is why I find the radical statements I have seen today about Islam very ignorant. The problem lies in years of deeper problems between the two groups in Jos. Unfortunately, religion is the main dividing line btween both. The extremists do not only need religion to be convinced. The prior situations in Rwanda, or Bosnia even Germany was not religion based, yet they had people willing to commit these crimes. Hate is to blame here..the main reason for the hate is what needs to be examined.

Now I am no expert on Jos related issues but for the past 2X yrs of my life, I have seen the same issues be raised regarding Jos. I have watched the whole religious card be pulled. Even moving from the Jos issue to greater Nigerian issues, I have watched my Parents generation blame the government time and time again for all our problems and at the end of always very heated discussions, they all bag their bags and leave. Go to their houses and sleep and no one does anything to change it. I am happy that my generation is not sitting back anymore. We have decide to take things into our own hands. The Revolution it is starting....It will be televised... where would you be...Would you help....? On March 16TH 2010 at approx 11AM the Nigerian youth would be demanding answers at the National Assembly in Abuja. It is a peaceful protest. Please if you are in the Abuja area, Go there and show your support. I really wish I could be there but since I cannot, I am going to be here working on how I can become a physical part of this movement in the future. I want my children to know that my generation changed Nigeria. I want them to hear stories about NEPA and think it is a lie. I want them to know what safety feels like and let tales of armed robbery be only what they see in movies. I want them to have a passport they are willing to show with pride. I just want them to have a country they are proud of.

For more information on the March, visit.

P.S I am thinking of starting an E-bible studies group with some of my blogger/twitter friends. From my last post. It seems a lot of us need encouragement. If I get enough people that are interested, I would look into it further!

HEAVY TOPIC iKnow,but sometimes it is needed.
Hugs and Kisses Everyone
Have a fab and Safe week

#MusicMonday- Why-BankyW

Lord iNeed You.

2010-03-08T08:32:00.000-08:00

I was on my desk at work on Monday morning at about 11:20am and I had my ipod on shuffle. A song come on that I had not heard in a while. It is called "How deeply I need you" by the Shekinah Glory Choir. I had to stop what I was doing and just listen. I began to cry, I was so emotional and overwhelmed, I then had to excuse myself and go to the ladies room to compose myself. I started thinking why this song affected me so much today, and i realised that it is because I know the kind of life I have been living lately. I don't pray as much, I don't attend church as much, I don't attend bible study anymore. I stopped going for youth meetings and in general I just relaxed in my walk with God and I am truly ashamed of all of this. Sometime last yr, I took a vow with God to live my life in the best possible way I can and I was consistent for a while. But what do I do 6months later, I am back to clubbing, partying and just unnecessary things that at the end of the day won't matter. Like I said in my last post of 2009, I always wobble/stumble on my walk with God but what is so amazing is that whenever I say OK Lord take me back. He just does. I know I have to find a way to make my walk with God firm and stable and stop all these stumbling every couple of months. I don't know I guess i just need God to help me on this one. Jesus I need you..Deeply deeply I truly need you...

p.s This is one of my most personal posts in a while. I just felt I had to share this one.

Loves you BlogFam, you guys really do make me happy! I know I don't say it often, but I appreciate you guys for the comments and constant love I feel in this lil home of ours.

OK enough sappiness's for one day!
Hugs and Kisses

HATERS.

2010-03-04T05:23:00.000-08:00

I am sure almost everyone has seen the famous lollyheart and Pwhales song "To My Haters" (or as they say "aters") and we have all laughed, cried or some like my Twibuddy @Kidkonnect made a reaction video! Which can be seenHERE.(view at your own risk..ROTFLMAO)I have come to realize that there has been such a sudden rise in the use of the words "haters" to the extent that I had to stop and ponder if I had haters of my own and if i did who where they and why did they hate me. Yes I understand that people would always talk about you(believe me I have had my fair share), I understand that people do not necessarily always want to see me succeed, I also understand that I do not even need to know these people for them to even "hate" but somehow everyone is claiming haters and shouting out haters or calling out haters. It feels like it is the new "in thing' to do.

Personally I think I am a very loving person. I am very friendly and approach-able. I am not a snub at all(well at least I don't think so) I am very humble(at least I think so) and I don't understand why I would be happy that people hate me. I really don't like to be someone people hate. I don't know why it is now an achievement to be hated. Everyday on my Twitter timeline, my facebook page even my BBM updates, I have people telling their haters to "continue hating you are my motivation" or "shout out to my haters.that's right i woke up today, y'all wont stop me".(LAWL)Constructive criticisms has also been coined into hating by everybody. I don't understand why if I tell my friend she looks horrible in blond hair becuase she is dark as night, she would reply with "you are just a hater"..errm Ok sure buddy! I guess with songs like "Good Morning haters" by Charmillionare, "hi haters" by Maino or even "hate on me" by Jill Scott, I guess I should start looking for my haters as well because maybe they are the motivation I need to succeed, Or I could just feed off the positive energy from my friends and family and have that extra push I need. I think I would stick to the latter something about positiity just seems fresh and right.

My name is Ms.O aka Lohi_O aka Ohita and I do not have haters!

P.S
I do believe there are some bitter people out there, but why feed off negative energy?

December 1st is worlds Aids day and I have noticed a pattern where people only discuss Aids and other STI's on that day.This is me trying to break the pattern. A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine sent me a link to a short series via twitter. This is a short story about the nightlife in Kenya it involves about 6 young people like you and me who make some decisions that affect their lives significantly. What I did not know was I was about to watch something that would alter my thought process's forever when it comes to unprotected sex. I have never and will never be a fan of having unprotected sex. No matter how much you "trust" your partner except of course you are married. I do however understand that mistakes (even if I really think they should not) do happen. but when you watch short series like the one below, it reminds you that a little 'mistake" or 10secs of pleasure could lead to the question of life and death. A guy friend of mine once told me that in all his years of having sex(and yes he ahs some years on him..lol not once has a woman stopped him from having unprotected sex with her. It seems that as women we have become so comfortable with men being the decision makers when it comes to this aspect of our sex lives, that we fail to take the initiative to say "STOP, WEAR A CONDOM" I know abstinence is the best form of protection, but in the century we live in, I would rather preach protection than be ignorant.In essence What I am trying to say is LADIES PROTECT YOURSELVES. It is not up to the men alone to introduce forms of protection into you relationships/partnerships/whatevers. Pardon my rambling, Just watch the video(s) learn a thing or two and leave a comment!

Have a fab weekend!

Hello Twam, lol Yes I have also been infected by twilingo.. Its so sad! I love twitter though! if you are on it, follow me. http://twitter.com/Lohi_O Anyways this is gonna be a very very random post. broken into parts

Firstly, we finally have a president, after almost 3months of Yaradua"being absent" on health related issues, Vice president Jonathan Good luck was appointed president on 02/10/2010. Maybe the new presidents name would bring us some luck... cos we need it badly!

In relation to Nigerians. So DC/MD based American-Nigerian artist Wale dropped a video for two of he's singles this week. And my twitter timeline, my facebook Updates, even blogger had all these folks screaming and shouting bout how great Wale is because he was repping Naija to the fullest and blah blah in the video/song. Well I beg to differ Mr Oluwale was on 106&park that night and premiered only he's Pretty girls video on there. however later that night @8ish via twitter, he did an online premiere for My sweetie. Now I am not mad at him for choosing one over the other(money maker over personal choice)but I am pissed at all the praise a very mediocre video if i might add is getting from the Nigerian community (at least online). I visit www.notjustok.com everyday right before I go to bed(weird) and you need to read some comments to understand were I am coming from.The venom and hatred with which some people on that site criticize Nigerian videos and music et el, is amazing. They forget to understand that Nigerian music and video's are done by novice's, with less opportunities and equipments available to them compared to alot of this yankee acts. But these same people were so quick to give Wale praise for he's fake ass video.. is it because he has been "endorsed" by the American crowd.. #EFFOUTTAHEREWITHTHAT!

also in relation to the maga no need pay video. (Yes I have to write my own two cents)I cant believe different people are trying to even justify 419 in this day and age. Please if you haven't, go on www.notjustok.com and read the comments under that video, and you would weep for Nigeria. If my generation is still thinking that way. writing things like "life is hard back home" and "do you know if these boys have tried looking for a job" as enough excuses to go into 419? then we have a very very long way to go. The day I read the comments I cried and officially gave up on Nigeria.

Sad News today The most amazing designer(IMHO)died today. (iLove twitter, with its up to the minute news.) I was very very sad. Its amazing how alot of very creative minds are always very troubled. I read he's mum passed away as well last week, so he was going through depression... Its a very sad day in the Fashion world.

In other fashion News, Fashion week New York kicks off this week! WOOHOOO! I cannot wait to see all the very fabulous dresses and shoes. Designers/shows I am looking forward to-> Arise Africa(all the African designers show here), Carolina Herrera, Nico0le Miller,MONIQUE LHUILLIER,DIANE VON FURSTENBERG ....and many more.. I really wish I could go to New York for fashion week..sigh..ONE DAY!!!

In my life news. I finally got my DSLR! NIKON D3000!!! I am so excited, been reading and practicing all week! I love it! love love love it!.. Will be introducing you guys to my company soon. Keep your ears open!

I was bugged(cc @ms_lnq...lol) that I had not updated in a while.. I write alot.. most times though its things I cannot publish. My blog is like a diary to me. Will be doing a picture post next. I have a photography job already! Yep God is Good!

P.S I update my food blog more often. Please add it to your blogrolls!!

p.s.s Happy Valentines day to all my lovers out there. I will be going to church and spending time with My girlie this year. Love is a good thing no matter what kind it is... I don't know why some people hate this day!.

p.s.s Don't miss Vera's show on Saturday's. It always a good time!

p.s.s.s I love you all!

xx.

The friends I have made through blogville are amazing, and I cannot wait to grow in my relationships with them in 2010!

2009...Where did it go?

2009-12-22T07:00:00.000-08:00

hey guys, Like I promised I am doing my roundup post for 2009, a'la @juicegal. Very refereshing to do. Well here we go!

Faith.

This year I grew in my faith. I became stronger and more committed to the lord. I renewed myself in front of God and wholeheartedly gave myself to him and I have never been happier. I found a church that I fitted into perfectly. Were I was eager to go and learn about God. I went for bible studies, youth Friday's, women's fellowships gospel concerts and more!. I am very happy about my walk with God this year. There were times when obviously i was wavering but with Him on my side, I remembered that I could go through anything. HE IS MY ROCK! If I cannot be proud of anything else this year, this aspect of my life has improved drastically and I am really and truly happy.

Family.
This year was great. My sister got married. my little brother finally figured out his life path/calling. My parents celebrated 25years in their marriage!!! YAY!!!. And my relationship with my parents became really mature. I can now talk to my mummy about anything (not that I couldn't before) but now its just so much easier. She refers to my new "toaster" as flower boy. hilarious stuff!.

Friendship
I still have my 4 main girls. I have gained more friends this year. Through blogger, twitter and even facebook! I have meet new people through work and overall it has been a good year of expanding my circles. I have truly come to understand the meaning of friendships because my friends and I are just recent grads and are finding ourselves scattered all around the country/world. the real friends are the ones I endeavor to stay in touch with and who in turn come into town for my birthday! I Loves my main peoples. Did I Lose some friends? maybe, I don't really think so. I was never the huge entourage kinda person.

Finance
This was hard for me! I started working full time in MAY,and wow it has been hard becoming dependent on MY own money. I have curbed my shopaholic ways and I spend more wisely now. I am trying to pay off all debts, while Also saving a little and investing a little. My dad is so proud of me(more because I don't have to always call him anymore for money..lol) these days when it comes to money. Overall good job to me!

Education/career path.
This year I finished my undergrad, but I am so not excited about my degree. Its one of those things I regret. I wish I switched it earlier, but instead of crying over spilt milk, I am probably going back to school in 2010 to do something I love! I actually cannot wait. This would put me in the field I want to be in for my move to Naija(hopefully). Career, so far so good. I am enjoying the experience were I am. So all is not lost right now.

Relationship
This was major in 2009. I have never been so emotionally involved with a person like wow. So when it ended, it ended with a bang, and I came crashing down! But not for too long! I got up dusted my self and whammmmm!! BACK BIGGER AND BETTER! lol. I learned so much about my self from my last relationship, learned how to be committed to one person, learned how to listen, learned how to share, learned how to call(if you know me you know this is a very very very weak point). Right now, I am having fun, loving all the attention all over again! getting flowers, going to dinners. its just amazing. I am not looking for anything serious, but there is a handful of potentials1*wink wink1 Maybe I'll settle down in 2010. sigh!(if you read this, yes you are not special. hahahahaha).

Health.
Health wise, it was a tricky year. I got a gym membership used it properly for a couple of months,then started slacking for the past 2 months or so. Ran along the sea front by my new place, I became addicted to painkillers because I went off the pill,Going back on in the new year..these cramps will not kill me!) Now on iron pills and vitamins, as my red blood cells are low. But all in all it was a good year health wise. I now watch what I eat. I don't drink pop, don't eat junk or fast food you know them M.C. DONALD'S type(inside joke for my verastic show folks) I am careful about what I buy to cook, I just generally became more healthy!

Addictions.
The Internet,shoes and my Crackberry- If you take these things away from me, I might have a mental breakdown. My BB is stuck to my hand. I am so rude with it too, use it during dinner, at dates, at church, everywhere..:( I need to end this addiction now! My love with the Internet just increased. I joined twitter yay! (follow me!). Blogging still remains my first love, if only you guys know how many posts I have that are not published. Kicked the shopping addicted, the TV addiction and the partying addiction!

OK this was so long guys! but it was a good exercise. I am very happy with the way this year turned out. I will be back with my last Thankful post. See you guys soon!

xx!
Ms.O

What is in a song?

2009-11-06T15:24:00.000-08:00

I was listening to some old school music this weekend and it was funny how some songs had a Nigerian version in my head. I guess as kids we never knew the proper lyrics or we always wanted to have that Nigerian connection with the songs, so we always made up Nigerian(READ RAZZ) versions. I just kept laughing and decided to share some with my blog fam, do you guys remember any of these? do you any more?

Happy Thanksgiving!

2009-10-12T08:05:00.000-07:00

Today is thanksgiving in Canada and I personally have ALOT to be thankful for.Here we go....

happy turkey day!
-I am thankful for life. This year I have witnessed too many deaths. From the great M.J to my uncle to acquaintances. It has been a bad year, but God has giving me life and I am very thankful!

-I am thankful for my family. Sometimes I get so flustered by them, but they always have my best interest at heart.My brothers are the best..gosh I loves them My family is about to go through a drastic change next year. I am praying God sees us through. Also thankful for my sisters wedding and the happiness she is enjoying right now. Its good to see people in REAL love around you. It motivates you not to settle for less

-I am thankful for my friends, Loks, Vanchi, Debs, So S, Tonnee, Sturvs, My Capt..lol wink wink!(all nicknames..lol). Without these people, some days would be so depressing, but thanks to them, I always have people to talk to that brighten up my day. LOVES YOU GUYS!

-I am thankful for education. I am at that point were I actually like being in school because I know the future benefits would be worth it.

-I am thankful for my job. In this recession were everyone is looking for a job. I am very thankful I have something that takes me out of the house at 7am and brings me back at 6pm. I complain alot but I am very thankful.

-I am thankful for the prospects of new budding relationships with God. I love my church. if you are in Ottawa please come to Rhema Christian Ministries and you would never want to leave! The family that I have in my church is awesome! We just moved to our permanent building and I am like in awe of God and his infinite mercies upon us.

- I am thankful for love and relationships. I have learnt so much about myself in the past year through my relationships. That I cannot but be grateful to God.

In all I am just THANKFUL TO GOD for everything. This blog cannot contain my happiness this year. I am always smiling these days because everything is well and even when it isn't i know it will be.

My favorite bible passage right now is Numbers 23 vs 19.
"God is not a man, that he should lie, nor a son of man, that he should change his mind. Does he speak and then not act? Does he promise and not fulfill?"

I know what God has spoken over my life and I know he would fulfill every single one of them at the appointed time!!! HAPPY THANKSGIVING TO ALL MY CANADIAN FOLKS! What are you Thankful for?

Are we talking,dating...........................

2009-09-30T08:12:00.000-07:00

I have recently caught the twitter bug too.I am yet to figure out what the hype about twitter is though because so far, seems same ol to me. If you find me add me!!!

So Last weekend I had my BFF visit me from Toronto.(The child decided to leave me after she graduated to bigger and better things in the big flashy city.. Mschewww YOU SUCK!!!) SO on Sunday after church, my other friends came over and we had lunch and relaxed and as usual the topic of relationships came up. So one of my friends just started dating someone new- well according to my definition-but whenever we tell her that she is dating, she says no it is not dating yet because they are not official instead she insits that they are seeing each other or better yet casually dating. I don't know you all but all these labels and what not get me confused. According to my definitions or timeline of dating this is how it should go.

I meet someone, we talk once in a while, find out we are attracted to each other, blah blah....-regular getting to know each other on a friendship level
We start talking, hanging out,seeing each other often, getting to know each other intimately(sometimes)- at this stage we are TALKING

We decide we like each other, we are compatible, we see ourselves together, we spend all our time together, we talk all the time on the phone(LDR'S)- DATING/BF/GF/ AKA!!serious relationship.-- this is what my friend is doing by the way!
All these other labels like seeing each other, casually dating, fooling around, its complicated(lol facebook). Just do not make sense to me. Or what do you think blogfam? Is there any need for the exact definitions at each point in the relationship? or Am I just naive to think once em and a guy are past the talking stage, we are now dating?

Finally...(pictures included)

2009-09-18T10:04:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! I finally have internet in my new place.SO finally the pictures are here. I got so tired, so most of them are of my first week in Nigeria but mainly my sisters wedding. I also have pictures of my new spot. I am chilling like never before!..hehe..xx!

PICS FROM NAIJA AND PICS OF MY NEW CONDO!!!..

Gosh I didnt know how addicted I was to the internet until this week. I havent had internet in my house since I moved on the 3rd of september. Its has been hard but I was able to go through these very hard times and emerge victorious( well seen as I had internet at work 8hrs a day..lol). But alas my internet shall be fixed tommorrow! I am Tres' excited!!
My name is Ms. O and I am an Internet-aholic!..sigh!

be right back..

I need a man in the 613...

2009-08-31T07:13:00.000-07:00

.. I am done with the 704, 832, 404, 212..and God knows where else!

Reasons I want someone in the 613!!!
*I have to move to a new apartment, if I had a man here, he would do all the running around and the carrying. I am too cute to carry beds and furniture. But sadly since none of my "padi's" live here, I have to roll up my sleves and get down and dirty *sad face* ~ were is that unlike button facebook has.
* I like to be wined and dined. If my "Padi's" lived here, I would be going out everyweekend! I would wear the over 50pairs of shoes I own and just get dressed. I want to go to restuarants, plays, shows, operas, clubs, anything, every weekend! But yep they dont live here, so I get these treats maybe once a month, maybe once in two months..~ were is that unlike button!!!! arrgh!
*I do not drive at the moment, so therefore I need a driver, ok fine a chauffer 'hehe'. I just want someone that volunteers to drive me, I hate asking people for favours, but I wont mind asking a "padi". sigh***
*Ahh the list goes on and on, but these are my key issues right now..Now if only the 613 men would behave themselves..sigh.. if wishes were horses.................

My Vacay to Nigeria was great, I have been contemplating putting up pics from my sisters wedding.. I just might. I had alot of fun and I already miss Nigeria. It was very different for me going back, anywayz look out fo rmy next post. Missed you guys!.

P.S, PLEASE VIST THIS BLOG, A FRIEND OF MINE WRITES IT, SHE IS SOO TALENTED.

R.I.P MICHAEL JACKSON.
Such a traumatizing day in history!

Promoters and Co- LISTEN UP.

2009-06-15T16:52:00.000-07:00

Hey guys! Hope everyone is doing well in blogville land. I am soo busy with summer school and working fulltime that I have very minimal time to myself. I read all of you guys tho, although I may not comment! Today I will be discussing an issue that I feel needs to be brought to the attention of all that are involved in this field of "work". READ AND KNOW THAT MY THOUGHT REPRESENTS THE THOUGHTS OF SO MANY.

Like some of you know this weekend, there was supposed to be an M.I and 9ice concert in Toronto Canada. Girls had gone outfit and hair shopping, boys had gone to rent Dodge Chargers and Escalades to opress and pull effizy(lol). The concert/Parties were supposed to take place on Friday and Saturday and by thursday morning people were already leaving from various cities to make the 5hr or less drive down to Toronto. Thursday for me was very busy I attended two graduations, had a midterm, and had a conference at my church,so I was not by a computer till about midnight-ish. when I turned on my phone after my midterm at about 8:30pm I get a series of text messages from about four people saying M.I had been cancelled. To say I was shocked would be an understatement! I was also livid not because the concert was cancelled but the whole idea that this should NOT be happening AGAIN!.

Promoters in North America, It has become quite rampant that we hear that this artist is coming. or that artist is coming. Then hours before the show is about to start we start hearing gist about how it is cancelled. I am sick and tired of planning to see Dbanj, P square, 9ice, M.I. Vivica A fox, or the likes. I am sick and tired of the bullshit malpractice you people are giving to the proffesion of promoting. I belive as a person of intergity, promoters should make sure every plan and detail is set in stone before a poster is made and a facebook event is created. Its just like me calling Drake's people right now and saying oohh Drake come to my school and he is like yea sure thang and voila I print a poster, start selling tickets, bombabred peoples facebook emails and walls with posters and info about events that are not even planned to a T. What happened to having final details before advertising? I understand most of the times we are all students and hype is a great thing but please the next time someone prints a poster and puts a "celebs" name on there, I want to know for a fact that all plans have been made and it is not just another hyped up thing that ends up not happening.

This is my opinion I do not care who I offened.. If you are offended please go straight to the Rideau canal and JUMP. I am just SICK AND TIRED of the mind games that you lot be playing on a partyriders mind. SO PLEASE LEARN TO STICK TO YOUR WORD, AND IF YOU ARE 100% SURE,...ZIP IT!

Hugs and Kisses
Ms O.

The Dilema of a Face-Book

2009-05-28T16:51:00.000-07:00

This would probably be a very disjointed post. I have no idea what I am going to write about...I was going to do a post about hair, but I changed my mind, then I was going to do one about friendships, but I changed my mind. I was then going to talk about school but meh! I dont feel like it so WHAT TO SAY..Hmmm.

I just finished reading Half of a Yellow sun by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie and I was very impressed with the book overall, although I do have my criticisms. It was a very good insight into understanding from a human perspective what the Biafran war was about and how it affected the lives of the Igbo people. I enjoyed reading this book and could only keep it down when I had to do other things. So far since school ended in April I have read three books, recommendations are welcomed.

Yesterday was the final match in the UEFA champions league and to say my facebook was bombarded by the highlights of this game would be an understatement. I was at work and couldn't watch the game but trust me. I knew when Messi scored, I knew when Man-U had a goal on post but missed, I felt I was at the game itself!! Facebook has led me to cut off my cable. I get better highlights from peoples facebook status messages than from other sources..lool! I don't have to watch TV anymore. EVERYTHING IS ON THERE!

I have a dilemma you guys. So the weekend of June 12-14 is packed with all these events that I have no idea how I am going to attend all. Firstly on the Thursday my church Rhema Ministries Ottawa, is having a two day conference(Thursday/Friday) with Rev Paula White and Bishop Eddie long(google them!) I am so excited for this conference! but get this, That same weekend Rev E.A. Adeboye is coming to Toronto on the Friday night! and on that same Friday night, 9ice has a concert! and Saturday there is an M.I concert in Toronto! I want to go for all these events, Please someone help me plan an itinerary

I think I have rambled long enough! Ill be back with a proper post soon!
Loves you guys

I love the title of this post mayne! I am teww damn creative.. lol!

CanadiaNigerian Feature:134 Elitz

2009-04-28T16:23:00.000-07:00

Hello guys sorry I have been away for a little while, but exams are over and summer is finally here(YAY!!!!!!!!!!!) so back to working full time. I have a new job that is very permanent that I just started last week, so I dont know yet if I like it or not. I have not been out due to being ridiculosly tired from exams and work to celebrate the beeginning of the summer yet, but a couple of friends have been in my house all week and we are having too much fun for our own good..Loves you girliessss!!!!!

Here is an interview I did with the girls of 134 Elitz which is a Nigerian Magazine based in Canada. they are the first of thier kind and I am so proud of these girls. They had to face alot of chnallenges to get to were they are and I am grateful that they were able to take time out of their busy schedules to do the interivew. So here it is, the second series in the Nigerian Canadian feature. Have fun reading and contact them if you wish to have an Ad or article you want in the magazine.

-To begin with where did the name 134Elitz come from? I love the name! and how many people does 134elitz comprise of?
It’s actually quite interesting and funny because more thought was put into coming up with the name of the magazine than actually starting the magazine itself lol. Well we wanted a name that was the reflected belonging to a certain social class. A name that reflected the lifestyle of the readers we cater to, that’s where elitz came from. We actually came up with ELITE first but then realized there was already an elite magazine, so I was like how about we add a Z to the end to make it a little bit different. Even after the alteration it just still didn’t seem that different so we wanted to add something that would make it ours, more of a personal touch that all four founders could associate with. That is where the 134 came from, it happened to be our house number, where all four founders resided at. 134 was a place where people came to chill from far and wide, it was fun, always one thing or the other going on and of course where the idea or concept behind the magazine was born. 134elitz comprises of 4 original founders.

Tinyan,Tosin,Kaffy and Ehi

-So can you explain to the readers what services 134elitz provide.
We are a lifestyle magazine with great emphasis on fashion, arts & creative Photography 134elitz Magazine serves as an avenue to showcase the works of young talented Africans who have no platform to display their works and creativity.In addition, we strive to celebrate successful professionals excelling in their specialized fields with the goal of serving as role models to younger and upcoming youths in the African community.

-Why did you choose the magazine/entertainment industry?
It was not so much of we choosing the magazine industry..i'd like to think it chose us, I mean we started out in a time where there was hardly no such thing as a Media outlet for young Africans in Canada to express their talent or creativity moreso even take the initiative to pursue their dreams. Art and creativity is something we live everyday, its not just in some of us its in ALL of us except that its been harnessed by some more than others.So if we as young people can inspire others to be the best they can be in very FUN ways like a fashion magazine, that's what we aspire to acheive. So our mandate is to push young people to be the very best they can be by doing what they absolutely love to do and be sucessful at it and what better way to speak to them than with 134Elitz where you see real people you probably know achieving.

-What other magazines or people have been your inspiration to achieve your goals for 134elitz mag?
Its the everyday people! The regular girl/guy next door who is struggling to carve a niche for themselves, seek exposure and pursue their dreams relentlessly. Its the dreamer who's too afraid to bring their dreams to life. its the fashion designer who has no outlet to showcase her work even though she's very talented. its the young entrepreneur who needs a boost from a failed project.its the aspiring professional who does not believe in her self until she reads about an accomplished professional

-what makes 134 Elitz mag different from other Nigerian/non-Nigerian magazines.
First off, We are all about real people with real problems so you can expect to flip the pages of 134Elitz Magazine and see people you might know personally

-Where do you see 134 Elitz mag 10yrs from now.
Truthfully, i see a huge empire with many significant arms...I see her branching off into an entertainment/fashion stream, I see her supporting lots of women's issues. Educational issues as well as issues affecting humanity.I see a fully functional business with thousands of employees as well as being a resource to young people.

Well thank you girles for the wonderful and insightful interview. I wish you all the best in all your future endeavours!

Why does she stay, NE-YO

Why does she stay... mmmmmmm
Why does she stay... hey... mmmmmmm
Why does she stay... heyyy... mmmmmmm... uh

She hates that I don't do dishes
Even though I mess up the most
And she begs me all the time to help her
I know that I should but I'm lazy so I don't (mmmm yeah)
She's always considering my feelings
Thinkin of me before herself
Most of the time I'm so damn selfish
I don't even realize she treats me so well

She's so much better than me
I'm so unworthy of her

Ouhhhhh... Why does she stay
Why does she stay... why...

She hates that we don't spend much time (ouwow)
We barely see each other at all (ouwow)
She don't even nag me 'bout always working
She just says I just wish every now and then that you'd call (ouwow)
And I don't know why she's still here (mmm ouwow)
She could have any man that she wants
I step outside of myself
To see how much she loves me
And all the things that I should do for her that I just don't... just don't...
And I realize

She's so much better than me (so much better)
I'm so unworthy of her (so unworthy of her)

Ouhhhhh... Why does she stay
Why does she stay with me... tell me why... why why why...

She's in love
She's in love
She's in love
And I don't understand
And I don't understand
She's in love
She's in love
She's in love
Gotta be a better man for her
So I take my time and do what I'm suppose to do
Because I just can't see my life without you

Ohhh ohhhh yeahhhh

Why does she stay

She's so much better than me
I'm so unworthy of her

Ouhhhhh... Why does she stay
Why does she stay... tell me why... why why why

Why does she stay
Why does she stay

Pardon the Hiatus...

2009-04-17T00:35:00.000-07:00

Would you wine for me...?

2009-04-01T23:12:00.000-07:00

Grinding.Synonyms,twerking,Dirty dancing,jukeing, bubbling,booty dancing,winding, perro. Urban dictionary:(1)when a women dances with her back to a man and her ass in his crotch, as to simulate doggystyle sex,(2)to rotate the hips in an erotic manner, in such a way that the girl's ass is grinding against the guy's crotch through erection, and sometimes even orgasm.

I went to on a mini vacation last week, on one of my nights out, we went to a club. it was their reggae night or something of that nature and I was excited seen as I love soca and it had been a minute since I heard that genre of music. On getting to the club with all guy friends, I was dumbfounded by the way they were referring to the girls who where doing "professional" grinds. I mean grinding on a whole other level, like pretty much having sex on the dance floor.I think they took it too much to heart when R.Kelly sang Wine for me! I saw people do things that my poor eyes can never forget.(lol) I stopped grinding when I started dating my last boyfriend he referred to it as ASHEAWO DANCING!!! To me, grinding was just another form of dancing. like salsa or the meringue.(lol) I didn't know it actually turned guys on(ok maybe i did), or maybe I should plead naivety. After visiting the club with friends and seeing how guys view girls who grind or twerk or bubble or whatevatheheck you want to call it, I AM GOING TO DECLARE ON MY BLOG TODAY THAT I MS O. OF CANADA shall not grind again. please I cannot be called the ashewo dancer oo. Ahh my bride-price has to remain high now! Naija guys are funny tho, because after they said all this stuff about these girls, they still went to collect their grinds!!! SPEECHLESS MUCH?

But on the real tho, what do you guys think of grinding(aka dirty dancing) is it just dancing or is there more to it.

p.s I just had the worst 48hours of my life. I just want to say I love my Family, my good friends and my Boo.. because sometimes I don't know how I would make it without these people.

p.s.s This is something I made when I got back home from school, after being in the library till about 7am. it took about 30mins to get ready! I was so hungry it felt like yrs to me. Spicy Gizzard sauce et sweet potatoes

Have a blessed week.
Ms. O

I needed a Vacation!

2009-03-24T17:05:00.000-07:00

A weekend away from the freezing cold in Canada! being spoiled, day in day out, by who..well haha! that is for me to know and you to find out. My vacay was great, eating good food, chilling with great people and discovering new places. I loved every single moment of it.

I hear I was Nominated for an NBA...LIKE I AM SOOOOOO OVERWHELMED with love. of all the 5million(exaggeration much?) Nigerian bloggers out there. I was nominated. I hope I win but even if I dont, I am still very happy! SO GO AND VOTE!!!!

I won something on YNC's blog 2 weeks ago and was excited when I got it in the mail. It is this beautiful and amazing handmade soap that she got from,deshawnmarie. I love it! it smells AMAZING too! I haven't used it yet but I look forward to doing
so.

School is crappy as usual, exams start next week so I might be MIA again for a little bit. Ill try and read blogs even though I might not comment. look out for my April interview, but I should be posting something before that.

loves you guys...xoxo

CanadiaNigerians Feature- Jeti Olafimihan

Hey guys this is the very first installment of CanadiaNigerians feature. The idea frist came to me when I was on Kemberely's blog and read her segement called women worth knowing.

Jeti Olafimihan, a poet, a writer, an actress, a designer and a recent graduate from the Interactive Media Design program at Carleton University in Ottawa is the brains behind JeaOlaf designs.With the catch phrase, Erasing the line between imagination and reality,JeaOlaf designs has proven over the years to Be versatile, creative and relevant. Please enjoy this short interview with Jeti.

Ok so as we know you are the CEO of JeaOlaf designs what exactly does JeaOlaf offer?
Jeti-Presently JaeOlaf Designs provide multimedia designs contracts which involve graphic/web design, concept art for animation, video editing, etc.
The main focus currently though is graphic design.

That is very good, so why did you choose to go into graphic design, has it always been a part of you?
Jeti-design has always been a part of me. I happened to stumble into multimedia design. I had actually applied for architecture, but it was full! Story goes ,they looked at my portfolio and saw that I'd fit well into the new interactive multimedia design program at Carleton, So, I found my self there. I didn't really see how much it fit me and how well the program was literally designed for me until second year, but yea that's when I knew. i guess it had always been somewhere in me...(Laughs)

So what has been some of your influences into making some of the absolutely stunning designs you create.?

Jeti-Hmn, people first off, my family. They inspire me so much I feel uncomfortable, but at the same time they are my biggest and best critics, its all truth n love with em no gimmicks so... they bring out the best in me. My brother Komi, has a huge influence on me because of his focus and dedication...(laughs).. I want to be like him when i grow up! My eldest brother Kesi, hes like my manager,his foresight and eye for detail helps me out every time so they are my biggest influences. Other than them. Random People, The Internet, everywhere inspired me. You see new things everyday,no surprise that somethings just spark that motivation to do something good.
Where do u see Jeaolaf designs in the future?
Jeti-Expanding into worldwide design that's whats I'm looking for here...corporation?...!! I'd like to touch as many aspects of designs as I possibly can. Graphics, Animation, Fashion, Architecture, all the things i truly love.
that is great, what makes Jeaolaf designs different from other design companies
Jeti-the strive for difference. the hunger for perfection. It makes work ethics and the final product different. trust me.
thank you so much for your time and I wish you so well in all your future endeavours.
Jeti-Thank you.

Happy Sunday!

2009-03-08T13:37:00.000-07:00

I love Sunday's. This particular day just has a way of making me feel good about myself. I don't know is because of the Word I receive in church or the nice weather that always seems to come with this day, or the thought of cooking and eating well today, unlike most days when I am in a hurry to get out of the house and skip most meals! Today after church, I was thinking about what to cook and I remembered watching a Nigerian move last night called RELOADED- if you have not seen it, please do! kinda funny, not too long. good Naija movie sha- and saw jollof rice with fried meat and plantains! and I was like hmmmm YUMMMMMMMMM!!!! So I stopped by the grocery store got my sturvzzzz and went home to cook..and viola!!! it tasted so good!!! this pic does it no justice!!! AT ALL!!!! I love cooking! anyone who knows me well knows this. I cook when I am happy, sad, hungry, depressed, ecstatic. lol! I want to go into baking now tho. I find it very relaxing. I plan to try and bake something new very few weekends. Ill keep you guys updated on my cooking and baking ish. hope everyone has a fab week. Ohh and don't forget to vote and nominate people for NAIJA BLOGGERS AWARD! loves you guys!

p.s I tried to make the food look good, coz I wanted to take a pic for my blog!

p.s.s My plantains look dead cause, I got them last week and they where too ripe..oh well!! they still tasted good!

p.s.s.s I am addicted to the music on Doug's blog!

P.S.S.S.S Look forward to my first interview with a Canadian/Nigerian making an impact sometime this week..xoxo!

INSOMNIA!!!!!! + Ideas *Input needed!

2009-02-26T03:08:00.000-08:00

Its 6.08 in the morning and I have slept for about half an hr. Why you ask good people of blogger, well you see right when I closed my eyes at 12.30AM,............ but ALAS here I am, like 4 hrs later, without sleep in sight! WHY MEEEEEEEEE!!! So I decided to blog about my Ideas I had briefly thrown out there in my last post.

So yesterday, I had an appointment at the college in my city, I went to talk to a counselor about the business Ideas I have and what kind of classes I had to take to get certified, and also just to have a general knowledge about what its like to run a business and also if my ideas where feasible. And by the grace of God, I will be starting the class in September! When I am done my undergrad. Okay I am sure you guys want to know my ideas, I do not know if I can explain it so easily.

I want to own an event coordinating firm that specializes in hospitality. I would coordinate all kinds of events, from weddings, to birthdays, to business functions, a whole bunch of stuff, but also have a hospitality aspect to it. When my family moved to Canada about 5 years ago, I remember how stressful it was for my Mum. she did not know how to go about the school process, or the housing process, like she was so frustrated. I remember her asking if they were people out there who offer professional help, but she couldn't get any tangible answers. So here I am in my final year knowing my major is not 100% where my heart is. And I am willing to take this bold stop!(pray for me). Mind you I still plan on working with my degree, but I just want to see where my passions in life take me.

Also I think my blog is going to move away from very personal things about my life to more General things about my society, the country I currently live in and other interests that I have. I like how Kemberly and other bloggers showcase Young Nigerians in America, who own their own businesses and are doing well. I want to start doing that here but for Canada. I know a whole bunch of people who are have very innovative ideas and are going to go places in the future. Does this mean I have to become Un-anonymous(sp)?

SO what do you guys think? Honest opinions ooo!

XOxo

In the past some have called me a cynic a pessimist et al. I see my self as a Realist. Why? well maybe it is because I see the world as black most times instead of grey or white. I envision the bad before the good and much more. I do not believe in mourning over issues for too long. I do not cry for things I cannot control and I do not sit down and wallow in self pity. Instead I get up, shake the dust of my shoulders and move on, and that I have.

Valentines day has never been that much of a big deal to me and this year was not very different. Normally I spend the day like any other day in my fabulous life(jkz), but this year it fell on a Saturday and all of a sudden I felt I had to do something too! and so began the tedious task of trying to figure out where to go! We(me and some of my girls) Finally decided on a play at a local theater and desserts afterward. The play " A midwinter's dream tale" a parody of Shakespeare,was very lovely.

I did not even notice the three hours that we spent at the theater. After the play, we went to a little chic restaurant for desserts and I had a "Chocolate eruption" IT WAS MIND BLOWING! Me and my girls laughed over the events of the past year, gisted about the reasons why we were single and how they(not me) hoped they were not single next year. Overall it was a fabulous night spent with great friends. I really wish I could show you guys pics! but yeaaaaaaaaaa!!! this would have to do! I think it is the cutest pic ever!!!

Have a lovely week all! I am on my spring break(yes already)so lots of sleeping to do and lazing around! LIFE IS GREAT!

xoxo!

I lied...SUDDENLY

2009-02-10T15:18:00.000-08:00

No you are not lost!!..Lol I had some spare time on my hands, and felt like changing my layout. you like?

Hey there blog fam! How is everyone doing. I hope you are all doing very well in your respecive endeavours. The answer to the two truth one lie game is...*drummmmmmmmm rolllllllllllllllllllllll*

Number 3. I cannot ride a bike. It is painful and I am ashamed but whatever. I tired a lot of times. I always FELL. As I grew older and more girlie, I did not even want to try for fears I would be scared for life by falling. lol.

Number 2. I have had 4 boyfriends in the past 3 years. This one is kinda tricky. I wont call all of them boyfriends per se. But I was "seriously/ or not so seriously" talking to four guys in the past 3 years. I would actually consider TWO to be real relationships, the others where just runs jare..lol

NUMBER 1 Yes I have traveled to a lot of places in the world. (thanks to my dad and his job) but I actually haven't been to Australia, Antarctica and Latin America. I been everywhere else. THIS IS THE LIE!!!

Hope you all have a fantastic week. I will blog more often about ideas that i am trying to get off the ground for myself in 2009. I will leave you with the new video from Dbanj of his Summer hit SUDDENLY!

Kisses
Ms O

UPDATE-some people said the old video I had was not working, so I changed it!

You can enlarge the video..with that button next to the volume thing. Dont know why Its soo small!!!

I've been TAGGED!

2009-01-23T10:52:00.000-08:00

Hey guys! How was everyone week? I am so happy it is Friday, because this week has been very busy besides I been sick all week! I have a fever/flu! Instead of me to be getting my rest as prescribed by my mum/doctor, I am on blogger! I am sure this could pass as a form of relaxation coz most of y'all know how to make me laugh.

First of, I am happy by the amount of responses i got to the last post. Please do not forget! when you see you friends committing these offenses, simply refer them here!I rest my case. The comments where funny! Made my day yesty!

Secondly, can I get a standing ovation for the New President of the United States of America, Mr Barack Hussein Obama? On Tuesday, I was up at 6am and went to bed a 3am. The entire time my computer was logged onto www.cnn.com/live. I Loved their partnership with facebook. It made watching the inauguration more fun. I watched every single thing. I think I kinda went overboard, but Oh well. I am so proud of him and his accomplishments thus far. I am just hoping we are all very patient with him, because he has inherited a lot of work and it would take a lot of time to put America where it once used to be.

Thirdly, I have been tagged in the two truth one lie game by Yankee Naija Babe, one of my blog friends..:) y'all know the rules but here we go again

Hating, Swaaga and Fierce!

2009-01-12T22:41:00.000-08:00

Hey guys how is everyone doing. we are now almost at the middle of January and God has remained as faithful in my life so far. This post is going to be a rant( very un serious rant) of some sorts so here we go.

There are three words that I feel should be demolished, eradicated, banned,erased *all other synonyms welcome* with the year 2008. They are SWAGGER, FIERCE, AND HATING. I shall start with the latter.

Hating, I have tried to look for who to blame and I will go with Maino and that his ridiculous yet catchy song "Hi Hater". Since that song was released last summer, every Tom , Dick, Harry, Akin, Emeka, and Suliat think they have a hater and some. When you give constructive criticism to a friend, your a hater, when someone asks you for an opinion, if you do not agree with theirs, you are a hater, If you do not think Rhianna's fashion style is all that and a bag of chips. you are hater.Everyday on facebok, you most see someone give a "shout out" to their haters or tell their haters to "go and die" and the one that annoys me the most is the name of the aforementioned song "hi haters..bye haters" lol. If we are all haters of each other, with the way these word has been used in 2008, then that means we are are all doing something right. SO PLEASE THIS IS 2009 stop saying somebody is hating on you. No we are not hating..WE SPEAKETH THE TRUTH...it just hurts sometimes.

Fierce, I blame his one on Tyra Banks and her ANTM show. She is always on about how "oh that is so fierce girl" and "damn girl give me fierce". That even Beyonce named her alter ego Sasha Fierce, lol. When I look at peoples pictures on facebook these days and you most see at least one person use the word fierce. People do you know what the word fierce means? wearing white jeans with a pink shirt is not fierce IMO. lol. its 2009 lets keep it real with our friends. Tell them they look cute, or pretty. Not fierce.

Swagga. I am going to blame the entire hip hop industry for this one, but mostly T.I, Kanye and Diddy..lol Please guys listen and listen carefully. NO you do not have swagga. No I am not trying to swagga jack you. No I am not feeling your swagg. It 2009 please try to look suave, pristine, clean. lol I have enough swagg of my own I DONT NEED YOURS!

I have taking it upon myself to put an end to these words in 2009. lol please join me in this campaign if you feel my plight. this has been a public service announcement by Ms O.

*This article does not intend to hurt anyone. But if you are, oh well, kpele you should be fine!*

Never would've made it without you!

2009-01-05T15:24:00.000-08:00

Hey guys Happy New year!!! 2009 is here and I am very excited at the opportunity to start over and propel myself towards my destiny.On the 31st in my home church they discussed doing things God's way instead of our way i.e when God made us, he had a destiny made out for us, its the choices we make that derail us from these destiny's, therefore from today onward, I would only proceed with something after God has giving me the go ahead and with this attitude, I should be on the right part to great success. I am wishing everyone in blog ville a very Happy New Year, this year would be full of divine increase in all aspects of our lives and whatever goals we have set respectively He would increase it and he will make them come through! Our best in 2008 will become our worst in 2009 in Jesus name AMEN!.

Now I am done with that, I am back in school and I am excited for this semester as it just means i am closer to finishing my undergrad! There have been bad times and good times during the duration of this degree but with God everything has become very possible. 2009 for me is a year of increase. I want to find my purpose on earth. I want to inspire other people. I want to live the life God has destined for me. I am very excited for this year. I am feeling very good about every aspect of my life. even though 2008 didn't end the way i wanted it to relationship wise, I am grateful to God for everything. I am strong, I am wiser, I am better much better!

P.S The ex-BF called me on Christmas day and we had not spoken since like December 6th, MOST AWKWARD CONVERSATION OF MY LIFE. I really do not think I want to get back into the relationship, oh well just thought I should let you guys know.

Have a great week everybody let me see what this semester is saying ohh and listen to this song it inspires me every time!...I love it!...xoxo loves!!!

Marvin Sapp, Never would have made it.

Merry Christmas!!!

2008-12-24T22:34:00.000-08:00

2008-11-04T20:08:00.001-08:00

PROPER POST 2MORO...FOR NOW!!!...ALL I CAN DO IS SCREAMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

There will be a lot of people (some of our co-workers included) who will be afraid that an Obama presidency will usher in the end of days. They’ll be watching us on November 5th (the day after the election) for signs of the end times. To keep the peace and keep a lot of folks from getting nervous, I think we should develop a list of acceptable celebrations and behaviors we should probably avoid at least for the first few days:

1. No crying, hugging or shouting ‘Thank you Lord’ at least not in public.

2 No high-fives at least not unless the area is clear and there are no witnesses.

3 No laughing at the McCain/Palin supporters

4 No calling in sick on November 5th. They’ll get nervous if too many of us don’t show up.

5 We’re allowed to give each other knowing winks or nods in passing. Just try to keep from grinning too hard.

6. No singing loudly, We’ve come this Far By Faith (it will be acceptable to hum softly)

7. No bringing of barbeque ribs or fried chicken for lunch in the company lunchroom for at least a week (no chittlings at all) (this may make us seem to ethnic)

8. No leaving kool-aid packages at the water fountain (this might be a sign that poor folks might be getting a break through)

9. No Cupid Shuffle during breaks (this could indicate a little too much excitement)

10. Please no Moving on Up music (we are going to try to remain humble)

11.No doing the George Jefferson dance (unless you’re in your office with the door closed)

12.Please try not to yell—-BOOOO YAH!

13. Just in case you’re wondering, Doing the Running Man, cabbage patch, or a backhand spring on the highway is 100% okay.

I just want to make sure we’re all on the same page when Obama brings this thing home on November 5th. Now go get your vote on and let’s make this thing happen!!!

LOL.

YOU CAN VOTE HOWEVER YOU LIKE..

2008-10-30T22:23:00.000-07:00

I came accross this video yesterday. And I found it amazing...PLEASE IF YOU ARE A CITIZEN, GO AND VOTE!!!!VOTE ON NOVEMBER 4TH!!!...:)

NEPA + more

2008-10-14T18:31:00.000-07:00

Hello all, How's everyone doing? to my Canadian's how was your thanksgiving weekend? Well for me I had a little dinner at my house with friends I love and admire in one way or the other. It was good overall, good food, good friends, good laughs, Overall a great time.I woke up early today and walked over to my friends house coz I felt like taking a walk, after hanging out with her and thanking her for helping me make dinner on Sunday night, I walked back home. I get into my house and no sound. Yes my roommate isn't home but normally there is some sort of sound. I turn on the TV but nothing, I try to use the phone and there is no dial tone, I turn on the lights and NOTHING!!!. I screamed YEEEEEEEEEEEEEE NEPA has reached Canada oooo!!!..lol I call my apartment office to find out what is happening and they say some thing happened to the pipes and they had to turn of all electricity and blah blah and am like alright then. So I do dishes, clean everywhere, and there is nothing to do. Nothing is working, tried to use the battery life on my computer but the internet would not work coz there is no electricity. All of this made me realize how dependent we have become of electricity. It was quite amazing being without electricity for hours and trying to do anything without it. After a while my laptop died and I couldn't even continue typing my essay. I couldn't go on my school website to download my reading for my Thursday class, Everything was just not the same. When the lights came back on about 6hours later, I was very excited. I turned on the Tv and Called Hubby and was screaming. He thinks I am crazy anyways. lol Overall it was a fun day.

In other news so tonight i was watching this new show PRIVILEGED on the CW and guess what soundtrack I heard. No one knows by ASA. They used it at so many points in the show. I was like wow. I felt so proud. Like wow, a Nigerian artist is actually being recognized by the world. I love ASA. she was one of the first topics I discussed in this blog. Anyways I was awarded with the "I LOVE YOUR BLOG" Award by YankeeNaijaBabe http://inspiredtosucceedbysituations.blogspot.com/ and I am pleased to announce I am giving it to anyone who reads my blog, Because I really do love all blogs I read. I love reading. I spend ours on the internet reading about every and anything. So to my lovely readers, I do love your blogs keep the award it might be worth something someday. I am off to eat Plantain and Stew for dinner..xoxo

???Question???

2008-09-07T20:54:00.000-07:00

What do you do when you love someone so much, but you know being with them, would hinder you from being the person you aspire to be in the future? what do you do when You love them so much, yet know that somethings about them would never change. therefore you do not see how you can live with such character traits forever? What do you do when you know someone is wrong for you, yet they are the ones who have loved and treated you the best?. What do you do when a situation is just not working out but you don't want to get out because you have become too comfortable?
What should I do God?

HELP/ADVICE/ANYTHING..PLEASEEEEEEE!!!!

2008-08-28T12:25:00.000-07:00

Hey guys and gals of blogville..hope everyone's week is going well!!! Please I have a huge favour!! I need all the Doctors, Engineers, people that have tactics, Agbero's self anybody HELPPP!!!

Here is the problem. My family is about to apply for the Citizenship passport of where I live. For you to apply you should have stayed in the country for 3years. You can leave and come back over the three years plus sum other crap you ahve to have done. During this 3 year time, I have left the country without my parents knowing.TWICE!!! don't worry it was Nowhere far, just across the border. for like 10days each time. Now the problem is on the application form, they ask you to list all the places you have been to in the past 4 years and my entire family is going to put down certain dates when we all left the country collectively. Now my dilemma is I cannot lie to the government because this is VERY BAD!!! but making my parents know I have been leaving this place, THEY WILL HAVE MY NECK!!! coz they will know I have been going to see my Boyfie!!! Ehem so I need a plan where I fill this form truthfully for the government but at the same time the parents don't find out..PLEASE HELPPPPPPPPPPPPPP...
This is so sad because it means I wont get to see Hubby on Thursday as planned. because with this situation I don't want to make it worse by leaving the country again. At least until after they apply. Yes Fine I am wrong to do such without letting my parents know. But man such is life. I really want to see him.its been almost 5 months.and I cant do this anymore. But at the same time, I would be in so much trouble. And no am not old enough(i think) where I can pull the"you cant tell me what to do, am old enough" card. So please Blogville people help me!!!

ALL SUGGESTIONS ARE APPRECIATED!!!
Thanx all...and please no laughing..its not funny!! Biko..:D
xoxo

AM SO PROUD TO BE NIGERIAN!!!!!

2008-08-22T23:33:00.000-07:00

Hello all.unfortunately we did not win the Gold in the Olympics. Instead we got Silver which isn't half bad considering that the Nigerian government does not put anything whatsoever into our sports. I really really wish we had won the gold but oh well second is better than last innit(lol). We also played really really well!!! and are leaving the Olympics with three medals this year and I am great full to the athletes that represented our country!!

Also in other news, Barack Obama has chosen his Vice President for his future term. his name is Joe Biden. I really don't know much about him except he is a senator and he was also a running mate during the primaries. I hope he is a good choice. I will research about him tomorrow;) Good night y'all its just 12:39AM where I live!!!...and have a great weekend!!!

Back to School

2008-08-19T08:08:00.000-07:00

Its that time for the year again when we head out to school. I start school on the 6th of September..(I think). And I want this year to Be different. In my three years at my UNI, I have come across very different people, I have done classes that I would not advise my enemies to take. I have gone for parties like they where going out of fashion. Have been involved in drama, Have represented my school in a huge way, I have made A WHOLE LOT of acquaintances, and very few real friends, I have passed some classes with flying colours, have done not so well in some even though I would have if i focused more, but I want this year to be different. I want to travel alot this year , No not to see hubby, but to other places. I want to volunteer in a developing country, for my spring break, I want to Make more real friends. I want to have one more Best friend. I want to meet the man I marry (kinda half accomplished,but you can never be too sure). I want to apply to law school, I want to grow as a person, intellectually, spiritually and mentally(I was gonna add physically but yea not possible,lol).

I have a year to accomplish all these things. Can I?...I think the answer is YES I CAN!!! I don't know why but I have become very focused these past couple of days. I lost track a while back due to some mishaps, But i am very happy to say I have found my way. I am still a little confused as to what I want to do exactly when I graduate. But because I have focus and I have God on My side am very sure everything would work out. I also don't know if I want to move back to my mums after graduation or if I should stay in my city. If I move to mums, Ill have free accommodation so I can save and buy my own house earlier and also the job market in this city is crazy. So it makes sense, but at the same time, I don't want to depend on them after I graduate.decision decisions. Also Hubby wants me to move to where he lives..hahahahaha...Umm i don't think so.. And am trying to use my head and not My heart right now. Anywayz..ill see how all of this turns out. I just want this new school year to bring about success in regards to what I will Be doing in the future. Ill keep you guys updated about how all of that happens. Till next time

IN WORLD BREAKING NEWSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2008-07-30T07:43:00.000-07:00

My beautiful people of blogville!! Oh have i missed u lot!!! I know ehem I have to say sorry for the MIA ish that went down, but babes where ridiculosly busy. Working two jobs, (which I quit one by the way, am not that broke please!!! I cant kill myself) and i dunno everytime i wanted to start writng about something, I would become bored and leave it half way. Anyways am back!!!! Thanks to everyone that checked up on me, and those that hounded me to update. Love all of u muchos!!! So whats new people, Any engagements, childbirths anything!?!??!..lemme know ooo!!!

Ahh the month of july went by soo fast. Firstly with the new job, lord was I busy. The job itself isnt that busy but waking up so early and going to bed so late, left little time for anything else. This month also saw about my learning how to drive. yep people, In my old age I had to overcome my phobia and learn how to drive!! I am tired of taking transit!!! So yes I will be a certified driver next week, if I pass my test!!!

Work. Work is ok. Boring. Same ol crap I cant wait to go back to school in the fall I think I am beginning to realise the whole 9-5 ish is not for everybody. I dunno if i want to do this fulltime when I graduate but what are my options!!! The money on the other hand isnt half bad so I am not complaining! I shall shut up and sit here for the next month and pack my load to my house!!

In the Hubby news. well things are great as of today. as of last week I was kinda single. lol. I did something. Yep Ms O screwed herself over. No i didn not cheat per se. No i did not do anything your mind is thinking. But I did do something that could not just be easily forgiven. So he was mad and what not. tried to ignore me, but ALAS!! he loves me too much so, we talked everything out and well all I can say is we are both very happy. I have a renewed love for this man. Like I never knew I could care so much about someone and yet they seem to care about me more. Like isnt that just great!! All the Gbegberuns in our life are starting to fall back because I guess they have tried all they can and well since nothing they are doing is working, They are learning to move on.

IS THIS POST TO LONG ALREADY!!!....SORRY OOO IF IT IS!!! BUT YEP..I HAVE MORE ISH TO SAY!!! SO THIS IS TOPIC NUMBER TWO THAT HAS BEEN BOTHERING ME..WHY OH WHY ARE NIGERIANS LIKE THIS WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!

Something that has been bothering me for like ever. So I live in this city where nobody minds their business it reminds me so much of back home where everyone is in everyones business. But i digress. So in this city of mine which I plan to leave the second I graduate, Everyone likes to talk about everyone. and OMIGOSH its not not the girls, The guys talk more than the girls self asin its very disturbing we have these guys who are all friends and I WILL REFER TO THEM AS THE GBEGBERUNS of the city. These are grown men who dont know how to mind their business. They Kiss and tell oh yes they do. So if you have anything to do with them you are a gonna. Coz they will tell your gist to all their friends and its a wrap your rep is on the line forever. And also if they disturb you for too long and you keep posting them, guess what they will formulate the most amazing things in this world and tell the whole world and your rep will again be ruined forever.

When I went to my University, I had not lived amongst Nigerians for a long while. I love my culture, I love everything about being Nigerian so when I moved and was suddenly surrounded by so many Nigerian people I loved it. I really put myself out there went for their events, volunteered, everything. Next thing you know as the naija girl I was with a very open mind and trusting people, being way too nice to randoms and all that, My name entered the gist. AHH Ms O did this Ms O did that. It became fustrating at one point for a while I went into hiding in my second yr. So I ask myself and you beautiful people of blogville why do Some Nigerian people like to act like they are holier than thou? am sure ill get randoms saying crap but I dont give two. Because half the time the people saying all this stuff arent any better. I go on some African and Nigerian groups on facebook and I see all these people claiming Virginity when the whole world knows they done had an abortion. So why would we rather lie to ourselves and even the ones we call our friends than be real about certain aspects of our lives? and why cant Some people jsut be mature and act thier age? So my main question is why is it that people dont mind their bussiness? why do people like to talk and formulate gist? Some of which are very disturbing. WHY OOO WHY!!!! This is my MONTHLY VENT. so someone please answer me!!!

lol..that was long. Right now am stuck on this old jam. Case-Missing You..was always one of my fave songs. Ok am outtie...XOXO

LIVING LIFE LIKE ITS GOLDEn

2008-06-30T13:15:00.000-07:00

Hey y'all,

How is everyone doing? I have had a very busy week like omg . lemme walk you through a day in my life. Well so I got a 8-4 (aka 9-5) job. And I am so happy like omg I was looking for a job soo hard and when i gave up and concentrated on my other job, God gave me my dream job. am so happy like ecstatic. but I digress, so every morning I wake up at 6am. shower...am out of the house by 6:45. I dont drive right now so I have to take transit.. I am on the bus till 8:00. Work from 8am-4:30pm. Then off to my second job which starts at 5pm. work 5pm till 9:30pm. Get back on the bus. My second job is kinda far from my house so I get home by 11pm sumtimes 11:30..of course i have to go through blogville, facebook and emails and ish So i am in bed by like 12:30-1am ish.. and wakes up at 6am. YES THIS WAS ME FOR A WEEK. i DONT EVEN KNOW WHERE I GOT THE STRENGHT BUT GOD DEY!!!. this post might be verrrrry long..I might make it into 2 parts. First of all I want to discuss somethings that have been bothering me for a while now.

First of all over the weekend I heard of a friend that died. At my age of 20-summin this is the first person I actually know to die. and well I was shocked, didnt know how to react, was just very blah to the whole situation. Went on hIS facebook it was his bday on wednesday and I hadnt wished him a happy birthday coz I was "working" and was soo busy. I hadnt cared to try and find out how he was doing since he moved back to Ghana. He was a sicklar so I guess it was kinda expected but still. Why is life soo sad. His brother is here and I dont understand how am supposed to comfort him or make him feel better coz I know he wont. His sister has cried her eyes out. I dont even wanna know how his mum and dad feel. Over all I am just sad. I dont understand how two ppl that are AS(blood type) would marry and have children isnt that utter wickedness. Yea fine the other two are healthy but still. This boy just graduated in December. After all the thousands of dollars his parents have spent coz he is an international student, God just takes him. After all the love and pain and everything they have been through? When I was in first year in mY chool I spent my spring break with him and his brother playin monpoly erryday till 8am in the morning and then we would all fall asleep and wake up and the girls would cook while the guyz cleand up and then we would be bAck to monopoly!!!!..like how do you forget such memories? This has sha made me come to one conclusion..plssssssssssss if ur AS dont marry another AS. the pain is too much. My friends dad died earlier this month from the exact same thing. Like i am just scared right now of the world. as if that wasnt enough my friend that staying with mE for the summer, her Boss's son thAt he runs his business with died yesterday. They where suppsoed to be away for the weekend having fun coz its a long weekend and now his son is dead..Like PEOPLE WHAT IS GOING ON IN THE WORLD BIKO. SUMOBODY ANSWER ME PLEASE!!!...and to make things worse my bank acocunt just went through some fraud ish..now my acount is on hold I have to go talk to the police. I dunno if I can open a new account I was suppposed to start driving lessons this week. now i cant pay for it coz my acocunt is frozen. I am JUST ASKING JESUS TO TAKE THE WHEEL. Like right now I am trying hard to live my life like its Golden. enjoy every moment like its my last. Tell the people I love that I love em. Today is my daddy's birthday and i just feel the urge to hug him but he isnt here(he lives in another country for now) and am just sad. what if he never knows how much i love him. Even my mum I never tell her how much I love her and how much she means to me. Right now am just reflecting on life in general. All the things I do like my life dependS on them, do they really matter? what actually matters in life? iN THE END ITS THE LEGACY YOU LIVE BEHIND THAT MATTERS. and right now am on my way to create my own legacy. I am not even bothered that i wont have money again coz the bank will ask me to pay all the money back..ask me why i dunno oo!!!.. but right now God Dey!!! AND THATZ ALL THAT MATTERS!!! I LOVE MY MUMMYYYYYYYYYY AND MY DADDYYYYYYYY!! my brothers even if they are soooooooooooooo annoying!!1 MY SISTER!!! even if she is evry mEan to me most times. MY BABY!! I LOVE HIM WITH ALL MY HEART AND STRENGHT AND BODY ..ERRYTHING!!! I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE GOD!!!! I LOVE MY FRIENDS. THE ONES THAT ALWAYS HAVE ME AT HEART!!!.. I LOVE LIFEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!. THIS IS MY PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENT ....and am out!!!...

p.s.. Naija reunion in Cali got cancelled coz of sum ish that could be resolved in my opinion. oh well i dont have time to be angry like half of the folks out there.. coz life is too short people..go out there and start a random party if you wanna dance soo bad!!!. ok am out nw

ill write about the other crap bothering me tomorrow. @ my new job I have lodsa spare time!!!

Jessica - age 8 (priceless)

20. And the winner was a 4-year old child whose next-door neighbor was an elderly man who had just lost his wife. When the child saw the man cry, the little boy went over into the man's yard and climbed on top of the man's lap and just sat there. When the boy's mother asked him what he'd said to the neighbor, the little boy said, "Nothing, I just helped him
cry."

ISNT THAT THE SWEETEST THING EVER...OH AND ACCORDING TO THESE KIDS..HE LOVESSSSSSSSSSS ME!!!

HAPPY FRIDAY THE 13TH.....(be afraid)

2008-06-13T00:09:00.000-07:00

hello everyone how is everyone doing. Its Friday the 13th..omg omg omg!!!...haha i dont believe in that mess!!!..damn Blogsville has been really busy these days. The holiday is giving everyone too much spare time. But I am not complaining so oh well. mayne am kinda boring right now..All I been doing is working and sleeping, NOTHING ELSE!!!! oh By the way I would like to thank Everyone that responded to my last post asin you guys made me know i wasn't crazy for trying to end the babes life.. ok maybe not that serious but you get my drift. I have sha decided to ignore her to my best possibility and also my hubby has deleted her off his facebook so now unless if she is seriously stalking us, she wont have any access to us..but mayne its facebook am sure she has like some fake accounts so am leaving it unto God.

So blogville has been serious lately, Chari is now writing ...I am shocked and quite impressed too..the 14th and serenity thing is quite an enjoyable read. and everyone going private without telling me is vexing me ooo..I AM AN UNDERCOVER READER. I READ SO MANY BLOGS DURING MY SPARE TIME AND I DONT COMMENT. THIS DONT MEAN YOUR ALLOWED TO GO PRIVATE. I AM SERIOUS OO!!! BECAUSE WHEN BUMIGHT DID IT FOR LIKE 48HRS...I WANTED TO CRY(ok not really!!) BUT I WAS SAD. So people please stop leaving blogville or going private. I have become addicted to so many blogs right now and well i just don't see myself not reading them.

Well hmmm what else could I write about..hmmm...Oh yea by the way...Hubby's sister is getting married this September, in a far far far away land from where we are..it requires going across the Atlantic..lol(if your smart you will sha figure this out..ask me why I am being coded and I dont know..lol) anywayz he invited me to the wedding. Ok so I was kind of excited you know going to the place I haven't been since I was real little and stuff. Plus taking a trip together that would be awesome. Plus ahh I haven't been to a wedding in like 5years(believe it or not)and well yea I am excited. Then it dawned on me...wait wait wait...I will be meeting his entire family..not just mumsi nd popsi but the entire family. I have met two of his sisters and they are "friendly" but the entire family..well I DONT THINK SO!!!.. so now I am trying to come up with reasons why I cannot go. Its not that I don't love him or anything along those lines. Its just scary. ENTIRE FAMILY!!...uncles, aunties, nieces, nephews, everybody!!!..ahhhh..plz plz plz...I dont think so!!!. and not even in my familiar space so if anything goes wrong not that it will, I can run home to my mummy and cry. So I am in a dilemma, the day I told him i was having second thoughts he wasn't very happy with me. If i tell him i have completely changed my mind well i dunno ooo!!.. Well I might just go and not go to the wedding. We will stay in a hotel far far away and not get to see anyone.(most unlikely to happen) Or I could go, meet his mum,dad and everybody else and they all love me and we can start planning our wedding..lol(i kid i kid). well yes that is my gist. after ms.cocoa..abi Lady KOKO has been nagging me to update.. here u have it. am outty.

Oh p.s is it just me or has naija music gone on a whole other level..i saw Banky's video or capable/the remix like two days ago and I was quite impressed. then saw the video for Kini big deal featuring Naeto C..aka My future husband..lol and Ikechuwku...and damn I was beyond blown away asin they are on fire for reals I will post videos asap!!! The only problem I seem to have is that all their videos are shot in South Africa, not that I have any problem with SA people Just we have some beautiful naija babes that could be in this videos and doesn't Tinapa have a world renowned studio where these could be shot? Instead every video is done in SA with the exact same scene....just my two kobos..anyways here are the videos. BUT I AM STILL PROUD OF THEM BOYS ALL DAY ANYDAY!!!..

beautifully yours(lol....am trynna mock u Chari)
Ms O.

I was able to put my head together after the massive hangover I got the next day. lol...well we talked everything out. I guess am happy again...at least am trying to be. I dunno if i can really write about what happened yet(coz he is goin to read it ooo..btw i dunno if i wanna change the name yet..i still haven't come to a conclusion), but oh well it just shocked the hell outta me. guess what happened was i just had to re-evaluate alot of stuff and remember my motto which is "allow room fi major fuckrey so when things happen u ain't disappointed" which means...well once you allow people to be stupid and do stupid things, anything they do wont even annoy u or make u upset coz u already expected it.. so meh am not upset..i really cant be. coz now have allowed him to f**K up that when he does...am just like meh..expected it anyways. Yea am weird.

anywayz in more interesting news...lol..am home for the summer...in my mothers house. Thats means rules, no going out too late, no being on the phone 24/7 no more doing wateva i want whenever i want. My mum isnt soo strict tho, so its not like I am gonna be stuck in the house. its just been weird when you havent had anyone to enforce rules on you ro a long time and now you have to like abide by all these ish.. hopefully errything goes well this summer.

Am going job hunting for the summer tomorrow, wish me luck please. I really want a good job. the reason i came home is coz where my mum lives theres a better opportunity of getting a real good job with a higher salary, soo fingers crossed and special prayers and things.... i really hope I do get a good job.

Summer Is here!!!!..

2008-04-22T00:42:00.000-07:00

So today I officially finished my third year of University at a young age if I might add. I wrote my last exam, which i might add was great and said hello to summer. The weather is fantastic (25 degrees C)for where I live once we get anything above the negatives we are very very happy!!!. the weather is just one of the indications that summer is here!!! or maybe spring. This summer I am not doing summer school so I have four months to sit on my ass and not do anything except eat drink, party, chill, and be lazy. all of this while being on the phone with my Love.(I wish) Instead I have to get a respectable job coz I am graduating next year and having something decent on my resume would be excellent. I plan to gym a lot coz yea I have added a few pounds here and there which sux....dun get me wrong oo...am still hella fine abeg oo!!!..lol.. I think whenever I am extremely happy I add weight..that sux. I plan to read a lot, no not school books but actual novels. no not those teenage love crap ones but actual books that intrigue and expands my knowledge about life in general.I plan to enjoy this summer but in a different way than others. I want to do a olot of growing up this year because as of next year, I am n my own ooo..no more mummy and daddy buying me this and that and paying my rent and ish. So lodsa saving..no more spending a paycheck the exact same day it is made...lol(a fav pastime) and also am gonna be in my mum's house and i really want us to get along this summer. I love my mummy a lot. I can talk to her about a lot of things and she understands m,coz i guess we are the same innit...but yea she gets on my nerves sometimes not accepting I am kinda grown but oh well maybe if I accept a lot of responsibility this summer, she would see her lil baby is growing up.

In the man news..well things havent been gravy.. humphhh...umm sooooo I wanted to go visit some of my friends in this place(4hrs frm where i live) before i go home and he is not letting me and yes i am very sad. My exes...yep they live there..and he dosent understand why i want to go there since i dont have bizzness there again..but i said i wouldnt even meet up with them and the man dosent seem to understand me ooo..asin I am tired. I get where he is coming from but i really wish he trusted me enough to know when i give him my word, i really wont do anything. but i guess its part of the way men think and this is because I was venting to some male friends and they all seemed to get his point..am sha sad!!! but oh well God dey so Ill be fine!!! except for that little spat, he is being his usual self so everything is fine.

well thats all for today. hope y'all had a fab week and to those that celebrate 4/20 hope you had fun.haha..laters..

I hate when I feel the need to clear my head. it means that not everything is going well. SO it 12:32am and I pretty much just came from a walk that lasted over an hr. I cried, laughed, smiled, sang. But most of all I cleared my head. Now I remembered what my priorities are and well....back to the books. At this age everything else is an added bonus and not that Important. Am writing from my heart right now..Hopefully by the time i go to bed and wake up tomorrow, Everything makes more sense.

4 months

2008-04-09T08:44:00.000-07:00

Firstly I want to say thank you to Nigerian dramaqueen http://nigeriandramaqueen.blogspot.com/ mentioning my blog on hers. It has made some people come here to read mine and I am really greatful for that.

well moving on... today I woke up and had this feeling of emptiness, you know, when you are so used to sleeping next to a person and cuddling and smelling them and all of a sudden you wake up and they are not there, I broke down for like 2mins(okay for reals maybe like 10mins..lol). I decided I was going to go and get a huge teddy bear and his cologne to help me sleep better.. I know that may sound sooo stupid but whatever jo!!!!...I am very mushy like that!!!

Well my exams are around right now and since I live in a different city from my mum, I would be going back home(Alberta) in about 3weeks for the summer and would not be able to go visit Mr NC for about 4months....Unless if by some miracle, my mum sees it fit for me to go spend a week in a man's house at the age of 20. That lives in a diferent country all together. This is very very unlikely.

At this point I am very sad about the whole situation, I have thought about just staying in my own city, take some summer classes and then go visit him whenever,but all of that is very unnecessary. So I would have to go like 4months without seeing him and just the thought of it, makes me cringe deep down in my stomach. I am scared that he might do something, even though I trust him alot. I am scared I might do something even though I love him with all my life. Time would tell if everything would remain rosy and beautiful as they are now. I really hope they do cause I just feel so good right now and I want to feel this way forever!!

Except for the not seeing each other for the next couple of months. The drama ( Oh yes there has been drama already) is coming to an end... gist for another day. And I am happy that I can now enjoy my man and not have to look over my back because some chic is trying to come and strangle me!!! Well I have to go back to studying.. F$%^&*g exams!!!!

Till next time...

Welcome to my life

2008-04-03T20:08:00.001-07:00

What can I say..I have been lurking around this website for the past few months and came to the conclusion that blogging has to be the coolest thing ever since sliced bread..lol, I found it very interesting that i could write about the things that bothered me the most and no-one would judge me. you know what they say, its easier to talk to a stranger than someone you have known all your life because it is human to judge. so there, viola...am here to spill my guts during my happy times, my sad times, times when i feel alone, In love, upset, ecstatic..you name it I will be blogging about it.So why is it called Our journey..Long distance..well I just got into a relationship this december and lawd have I found my Ying(if i am Yang..lol)...he is perect in every way I can think of, but of cause he is human so there are rough times. I want to use these blog to record our relationship, the good times, the bad times and the times that define it. Being in a long distance relationship is very hard, and sometimes you just want to vent but you cant even to the ones you hold dear to your heart. this would be my venting board. This would be where I put my heart on a sleeve this would be what would keep me strong at times when things dont look so good. this would be the chronicles of Me and Him. Well till next time...i'll give you guyz the full gist of us....laters.
