Time Does Fly

A year plus with out any updates.
Thanks to you guys who checked up on me. Big ups to you all.

So so much has happened in the last year.

I fell in love :-) and believed it would last but it did not. :-(
Yup, it hurt and still hurts like a mother f***er.

The Company i work for merged with another multinational. so in essence we are bigger, better and meaner to take on the industry and kick competions' butt. More opportunities etc.
French people suck! Rude asses. but make we dey watch they go.

I've been single for 6 months now and i find myself dangerously shifting away from men. not that i'm moving to women. God, no! just not into the drama of ''man''.

I find that i still have very deep resentment for my ex. I wish he'd just leave me alone and not call me cuz his calls get me agitated, irritated and very upset.

His family and i still communicate from time to time and it ticks him off. so i just don't tell him anything. he feels we talk about him or some shit like that. honestly, we do not. even when we broke up his sister asked me what happened of which i did not give her the details. i just let it slide by.

oops, my connect just went crazy on me. lost some write up. arrgghhh.

well, he warned me to stay away from his family. like some psycho chic who wants to steal his family or something. like if.... What an imagination.

I remember telling Freaksho that i could marry ''the guy''. alas, it was not to be.

To all you love birds who got it right, keep loving and never take your other half for granted.

A Lot

A lot of stuff has happened in the past year.
after i started a new job earlier in the year everything has been quite a blurrrrrrrrrr.
only really bright spot has been my mum and my love.

it'll soon be a year and and and I'm sure of what i feel.
he's gangster i tell you. lol.

i need another job. things are not working out as i thought they would.
some restrictions I'm not enjoying.
I'm under utilized and beginning to feel demotivated. the exposure is not it at all. nothing forward.

my boss loves me but soon it'll be bye.

i now know how to tye gele. a relief that is i tell you.
i've been so scared of the thing for years.
thing is when you pay to learn something yourself, you take it seriously.
i put my head down and learnt.
i'm proud of me.
but, fixing strand by strand lashes is a definite no no for me right now.
i'll stick to strips. safer to put on and safer to take off.
at least you are sure your eyelashes, no matter how scanty they are, will remain.

have good weekend people.

to all those in love, keep loving.

Pigeon Impossible

Take a load of this.

It's amazing the things people think up and create.
na gift i tell you.

I was in stitches!

Have fun with it guys.

Opinion: Ladies, Your Freedom is All in Your Mind - Catholic Online

I stumbled upon this writeup and it made me look inwards as a woman. a female. the so called weaker sex.

i hope you enjoy it and talk to your female friends who keep seeing themselves as victims instead of decision makers.

THE BIRTHDAY GIRL!

Today is my birthday!
I thank God for all that he has done for and given to me.
but mein i am close to the 30 now o! 29 and counting.

My best friend called and wished me happy 50th birthday. Then my boyfriend calls to wish me happy 40th birthday.

Obama is a special guy. The date of his inauguration just fell on the right date. :-)

The office is giving me 2 cakes from my favorite cake place "Araba's Homemade" in Yaba.
Their cakes are to die for.

Guys, have a lovely day.

New Year. New Cheer!

I got a job offer from a multinational oil and gas company with branches in over so many countries!
yeah!!!

it's going to pay me twice what i've been taking home now for the past 5 months!
the benefits are not bad at all!
all in all it makes sense.
PLENTY of sense.

I feel kind bad, some worth, that i have to leave now when they need all hands on deck.
God knows i have put in my all the best ways i know how into keeping operations running.

It is scary moving again.
Lord, guide my footsteps. (on my knees).

I am a pioneer and i will succeed.

Don't Drink With ...

i watched this and it just killed me.
the guy is good!
could not wait to share.

Horse Shit Continues

the drama continues from here.

that same day, after close of work, my phone rang and it was a private number.
i casually picked it and the first thing i heard was "Splash, Splash, a beg no vex"
i was like who is this then the voice struck me.
thing is since he left naija we have not even talked. we just throw greetings through his sis. that kind of thing. no biggie.
at first i was wondering what he was talking about then i remembered.

ME: WHO BE THE GAL? NA UR GF?
GUY: YES. A BEG NO VEX. NO MIND AM. I TOLD HER NOT REPLY THE WALL MESSAGE BUT SHE NO GREE HEAR.
ME: HA, THAT MEANS U DON'T KNOW ABOUT THE PRIVATE MESSAGE SHE SENT TO MY BOX?
GUY: WATIN SHE TALK?
(i then went on to tell him word for word.)
GUY: KAI! SEE EHN... I'M NOT EVEN PICKING HER CALLS.
ME: IS SHE A NIGERIAN?
GUY: NO. ANOTHER AFRICAN COUNTRY AND SHE IS NOT IN THE UK RIGHT NOW. SHE'S IN ANOTHER PART OF EUROPE.
ME: DO U REALLY LIKE HER?
GUY: YES
ME: OK. I WILL SEND HER A MESSAGE TO CLEAR THIS CRAP UP.
GUY: THE GIRL JUST MESS UP.
(you think?)
we sha laughed about it and i told him not to worry. sey the girl never see and she never know.

the next day i replied her mail. i decided to go the way of the Bible. a calm voice ..... harsh..... My people, i no go lie you, fight been dey my body. to tear her from limb to limb but thought more about setting an example. a good one to reflect my kind and gentle nature *evil laugh*
the mail went;

*woman,

1. your boyfriend has been my friend for over 10 years.
2. i use to date his younger brother and
3. his younger sister is my best friend.
4. we all grew up and lived together in Nigeria for over 10 years!
so cool it!

if you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask me.
i look forward to hearing from you.*

she replied the very same day apologizing for reacting that way and bla bla bla bla. how sh eno be naija so she dey feel uncomfy for e friends side and things. that my choice of words really got to here and so on and so forth.
girls! we too dey get ahead of ourselves
i learnt a lesson here sha. get into ur man and do not be insecure when his old pals come around. enter dem join.

i replied saying no problem. that i just wanted to clarify things put her mind at ease.

Calculate...

calculate and show working;
310 x 6 = ?
this was the Saturday question of the century.
you sure se you sabi this method???

on Saturday i went with a friend to get her hair done somewhere in Lagos Island. as i waited for her to dry her hair a lady of about 29 years came over to ask the hair dresser the mathematical question above.
help me see answer o!

100 for 3 places na 300
this 300 for 3 places na 900
another 100 for 3 places na 300
this one 300 for 3 places na also 900
10 for 5 places na 50
10 for 1 place na 10
so we go get 900 + 900 = 1800
50 + 10 = 60
everything na 1,860

they then turned to me and asked "aunty abi?"
i said "yes"
clap for me!
i too much jo!

i guess she too much sha. that journey to solve the question was really testing.

we should thank God for the education we got o!
what would they have done if they had to calculate 33,895.52 x 13?
that one, we for sleep for there.

Prison vs Work

i know a lot of you guys have seen this before. still had to share.

Prison vs. Work...

In case you ever got the two mixed up, this should make things a bit more clear....

IN PRISON...you spend the majority of your time in an 8x10 cell.
AT WORK...you spend the majority of your time in a 6x8 cubicle.

IN PRISON...you get three meals a day.
AT WORK...you only get a break for one meal and you pay for it.

IN PRISON...you get time off for good behavior.
AT WORK...you get more work for good behavior.

IN PRISON...the guard locks and unlocks all the doors for you.
AT WORK...you must carry around a security card and open all the doors for yourself.

IN PRISON...you can watch TV and play games.
AT WORK...you get fired for watching TV and playing games.

IN PRISON... you get your own toilet.
AT WORK... you have to share the toilet with some people who pee on the seat.

IN PRISON...they allow your family and friends to visit.
AT WORK...you can't even speak to your family.

IN PRISON...all expenses are paid by the taxpayers with no work required.
AT WORK...you get to pay all the expenses to go to work and then they deduct taxes from your salary to pay for prisoners.

IN PRISON...you spend most of your life inside bars wanting to get out.
AT WORK...you spend most of your time wanting to get out and go inside bars.

IN PRISON...you must deal with sadistic wardens.
AT WORK... they are called managers.

A Drag

work has literally become a drag.
i've become mechanical.
have a lot of filing to do but i just don't give a shit about that these days. so i'm operating on organized-disorganization. at least i know where most things are. :-)

hmmm, i so so want out, it's driving me nuts.
to make matters worse, more responsibilities are about to be added unto my small head.
i'm going on leave jare!

i just wish i could get more makeup jobs to occupy myself with and get lost in the madness of a show or a photo shoot. i miss the days of Deal or No Deal. fantastic madness.

TGIF but then Monday is fast approaching
arrgggh!

Please Say A Prayer

This is a very serious post guys.
i just had to find a way of letting it out and also getting in more prayers.
a friend, was diagnosed with CANCER earlier in the year. all resources and funds are being thrown in to save her life.
initially, when she went for some test on her own, the doctors did not tell her she had cancer. WTF didn't they tell her for? this made me very angry when i heard. aren't they the ones screaming early detection could save your life. msshhheeewwww!

so they find out she got the disease and everyone in the family is raking in their savings and asking other friends and family to support so as to fly her to SA to have the operation done and start treatment. she seemed fine and came back. continued chemotherapy.

last night, while having dinner on the dinning with my mum sitting opposite me saying her prayers, i get a call from my sister telling me that the cancer has spread to her spinal cord and she is in fucking pain and finding it hard to walk.
to walk! just to walk! things that we take for granted.
now they are looking for at least 2 million naira to have another operation done.
see as money dey yap man! it breaks my heart.
i am currently having cash flow issues cuz salaries have not been regular. that gist is for another day.

my sister asked if my mum could get assistance from our church by way of offering but my mum told her the plain truth. the church would take time as there are other appeals from other parishioners. CANCER is a fucker and fucks people over, leaving the family emotionally and financially drained.
as a trained and qualified midwife and theater nurse, she went further to explain that the management and care of cancer is expensive, horrible and devastating and that most times there is really no use. she wouldn't like to use the words waste of resources but it usually is, though some time could be bought.
i could see the hurt & pain in her eyes.

there are times doctors just speak with the families and tell the horrible truth.
but one can not sit still and watch your loved one writhe in pain!
there was an episode of Grey's Anatomy, where one of the interne's dad had the thing. he was told it had gone too far. if they operated it might not be successful and he might loose his life. they went ahead to operated and he still died.
i remember watching clips of Farrah Fawcett during her final days, going in for chemotherapy , writhing in pain and still praying the rosary. it was hard.
the Lord is our Healer and Strength .

dinner from then on was difficult. na cry mode i almost enter.
we talked about it and we both remembered when i discovered a lump in my left breast during my final year in university.
yes, i have had a lump removed.
then the awareness was not as it is today. or we were just naive.

God, was i scared.
i noticed it, i think, when taking a bath. i knew it wasn't normal cuz it didn't feel normal. i mean i could hold the sucker.
i went to a friend and told her to feel it. she screamed " Splash, this is big!"
i nearly started crying cuz i thought my life was over. i had to tell my mum over the weekend.
but first, i said i had to party just in case na the end be this o!
immediately she felt it on Saturday, it was hospital on Monday and operating theater on Tuesday. i was back in school by Friday.
the lump was tested and found not to be cancerous. Thank GOD!
but that dose not mean the coast is clear. i still have to examine my breasts on the regular. i'm even still scared doing that.

i know that people have fought and won. there in lies the hope. i continue to pray people fight and win.
it's by God's grace. all things through Christ Jesus.

Cancer is a devastating thing to happen to anyone. you never know till it hits close to home. a church member, colleague, a friend, an aunt, uncle, brother, sister, mum, dad, daughter, son ... the list goes on.

please, please and please remember her in your prayers. even if it's just in passing.
i feel so sad about this that it's bringing tears to my eyes but my tears can't dull the pain.
oh, this life is too deep! too deep!

Huffing and Buffing

Found out Tuesday that my OM traveled without notice. emergency they said.
my ED sends an email that all issues should be channeled to and through me.
when i read the email i was like *WTF is this?! i no want o!*
don't get me wrong, i'm not one to run away from responsibilities. i try to embrace them.
THIS is different!
in fact when she called on the day i did not want to pick up the phone cuz the woman na fire! when you don't think you've done anything wrong she somehow, onekind comes up with something.
ok, i pick the phone and she starts with questions;
1. is the office generator up now? - yup, got the technician to resolve the issue. paid him some cash. will document for refund.
2. what's up with QGH? - i run off my reply. the reply plenty.
3. what are the arrangements for Engineers? - brief run down.

we end with the usual *if anything comes up i'll deal with it*

i won't lie, my OM needs the escape. the stress her no get part 2. if dem wahala me too much me sef go take of go Abuja.

After the email was sent round, someone made a comment that had a lot of hidden meaning. strange behavior then followed. she became some worth hostile towards me. i shook it off cuz i know how not to let somethings bother me. we sha ended up exchanging strong words and me telling her never to come to me for anything!

meanwhile i was dealing with issues pertaining to our guest house which had to do with heavy charges or have your electricity disconnected.
no one is allowed to have a private gen set. there in lies the problem.
our expatriate staff live there and this is unacceptable.

then i get a call that some our engineers who went offshore are returning that very morning and logistics should be put in place to facilitate their return to base. no e dem kan talk sey dem no fit fly. sey dem need to rest, see MD & collect cash for some expenses they had to incur. mean while i had another pick up to do and na oyinbo. they sabi nag.
*we have only 1 driver at present so we have to plan movements carefully*
but this oyinbo is ok sha. for now that is.

on a happier note...
i got a call for a makeup job. white wedding for next month. she said she saw my ad in the free publication, we have discussed and we are good to go. even given a cheque. now that's the way i like it.
yyyeeeahhhhhh! na small small.
Father i thank you.

:-)

Bold Faces

Very high fashion.

Do you dare?

The future of our art.

This is my dream, my passion.

The face can be given all kinds of looks but the art of making ugly art look elegant, is a true gift.

Randomizing

is there a word like that?


Thursday was the worst kind of experience i have ever had when it comes to Lagos traffic. i left the office just after 5pm and did not get home until past 10!
at least thank God i was not driving if not i for park for one side of road.
it was horrible.

to make matters worse there was a lady and guy sitting behind me who were just talking and talking and going on and on about people in the office. i think she had a particular biff for a fellow lady worker. kai! she finished the poor woman.


their conversation began right from sitting down till the end of the journey.
yes, journey cuz that was what it was. gosh, i wanted to tell them to just shut up!!!

to make matter worse again they started complaining about some very loud ibo boys who were doing the exact same thing. talking and bitching about everything and everyone.

people. perfect people.


looking for a good tagline for my business and an ad i want to put up in one of these free publications. Just a start there. this business must grow in Jesus name.
it's not just sounding right.
i need to consult. this is fun sha.
*sigh*

i hail and respect people in advert companies. clients coming in screaming "i want something different. something never heard or seen before. e no easy.

this my job don dey tire me no be small. tension everyday. on top what now? the job just sucks this morning big time. time to pray harder. all my efforts in other areas must come to pass in postive flying colours. MUST!

attended a wedding in IB on Saturday. it was nice. but Ibadan don change o! they now have chicken republic. we past 3 on our way in. that is good. aaand listened to Rick Dees on our way out. that was good too. i love me my Rick. lol.

i hear Adam Lambert, my idol, is already recording his first single and it being done with the producers of Lady Gaga's album. i am too sure we will be getting some amazing sounds. the guy CAN sing and they produce fat beats. so... you do the maths. i wish him all the best. i will buy his CD.

i need a change of career. time to live out my dream. my passion. stay tuned for clips of that.

on a last note, i think i'm falling again :-). the battle has begun.

Deception

this is what you get when you rely on meeting people on the internet.

cute.
