The Bridal Shower

My friend's getting married this May and as usual, (sing along with me), a bridal shower we must attend.

So, i thought and thought and thought as to what to buy her but the only item that came to mind was lingerie and I was only too sure that that’d be what she’ll be gifted with mostly.

A few weeks ago someone blogged about sex toys and that woke my brain up. I remembered accompanying a friend to a lingerie store and in the course of looking at each and every item they had to offer I stumbled upon some very interesting items.

I saw a silver opaque bottle, thinking it was like some fragrance thingy I picked it up to get a wiff. 0n reading the bottle it turned out to be a sensually wicked fantasy massage oil. Hmmmm! I liked. Going on I saw more interesting item like candy cock rings, nipple lick’ems and jelly willies. Also candy bikinis and bandages. Items nice enough to spice up any wedding night/honeymoon.
Decided to give her the oil cuz I did not want the guy ingesting anything that might affect him in any way.

As I though, tons of underwear but the gift I liked most was a book. I’m sure you’ve all guessed right. Yes “The Kamasutra”.
Applauds to the clever and thoughtful chic. She is definitely invited to my bridal shower. Though my friend is deft and well knowledgable in loving positions.

After the winning and dinning and games and gisting it was all over.
No freaking strippers!
I have never had the experience/pleasure of a live performance. It probably was a good thing cuz of late I’ve had sex on the brain.
I sleeping, I see images.
I wake, I remember.
At work, colleagues talk about sex.
Nothing passes them. . Sex is a hot hot topic it’s hilarious. There is always some pun. Say a word, phrase, sentence or make a sound and they will gladly interpret for you in colorful ways that will leave you blushing. The worst of them all are the married women.
Isn’t there any escape!
I am trying to stay clean here people!
Is there a crime in not having any in a while? But I must admit my stress level has been PRETTY HIGH of late.I guess I just have to count sheep.
annoyingly, our HSE Manager sent out like a bulleting thingy on work stress. and one of the ways of releaving stress is by making love.
He just had throw that in.
Apart from listening to music or singing that sounded like the ticket.

Ok. STOP!
it's not that bad.

So Far

Wow!
It’s been a craaaaaaazy few months. i have not had time for myself and so many other things.
During an interview, when you are asked "what are your strengths?" i bet one of the things you said was "i am a self-motivated individual who can work under pressure and have the ability to multitask."
Boy was that put to the test these past months.

I have learnt to over multitask, over cut expenses, over motivate myself and those I supervise. It has not been easy. The crunch is really crunching on my ass in more ways than one. As we Christians say “I am rich.” Abi?

Something has been on my mind for about a week now. But let me ask this question. How would you feel if someone you dated at some time in your life and well, loved passes away?
I don’t think people think about this at all. I mean after he/she breaks your heart your friends tear the person apart all manner of sepe follows the person cuz they are trying to console you and all that.

Just this weekend my sister calls me up informing me her that her ex in Uni past on. He was married with a daughter barely 1 year old. What happened? Leukemia happened. At the age of like 31-32.
I remember him to be a very intelligent guy. A very funky & geeky guy. He loved his technology. He helped us assemble our very first PC. He was cool but it did not work out. I liked him. So now he is gone.
What does it mean?
What if she had married him?
Widowed that early?
Would she have been left alone with a child to look after?
Only God knows the answer.

The Resoluts

ok, i have reflected, someworth though, the happenings of 2008.

jan 2008 was to begin on a good note.

in December of 2007 i got 2 job offers that left me confussed as to which to pick. well i picked the one with more cash and perks. so off to a new job jan 2. i was then called to resume on 7th instead. i was like more blessings so i flew to Benin to spend time with my boyfriend cuz he could not come home during the chrismas holiday.

it strated out great and then started to behave like a very confussed graph. up then down then up then down. the fights were so annoying. i wished i had not gone. it was just shitty. the making up was coooool but at the end of the day it left me thinking.

well i did think and decided to stick to my man. every relationship's got it's ups and downs. right???

well it ended. maybe i did not make much of an effort. "as he said". watever. all i'd say is trust is very important no matter the size.

that aside.

THE RESOLUTION FOR '09

1. Pray more
2. New job
3. Socialize more
4. Read 1 self improve book every month
5. Save more and spend judicously
6. Be softer. my friends bro calls me a guy. Find love/boyfriend/relationship
7. Eat healthier and drink more water (no more carbs and sweet drinks)
8. Cook more

there are others which are like capital projects. even i'm scared.
but thats the point. right. we should challenge ourselves.

strength Lord. strength

A JINGLE BELL

it's party time. spending time and faffing time.

so it'll be praise jam, weddings, weddings, family get togethers, friend get togethers and the likes.
phone calls, text messages, cards, i hope for gifts. stuff and stuff.

heres to a wonderful season and blastful 2009.

Silver Jubilee

Today marks the 25th anniversary of my dad's passing.

How do i feel?
i have so many feelings running through me. Since last year i've been thinking about this day.
25 years no be joke o!
Some people don't live that long.
Some friendships don't last that long.
Heck! Some marriages don't last that long.

From my dad's pictures he was a fine man. No sentiments attached. He was fine. Tall. Jovial. Fun-loving, extroverted. and an Engineer. meaning brilliant. Well maybe a bit naive.

Spoke to my Godmother about a month ago and she gisted me about him. how he use to take care of my mum, buy her stuff, take her out with my sis in tow then yap her small sef cuz she no too get hair for head.
i got hair mind you. Got it from my dad :-)

Basically all those close to him and my mum say he was a good guy. i was so happy to hear that. I can't remember anything about him. Thank God he's not like his big bro and sister. i leave them to God.

i SO SO wish i knew him. I’m sure we'd have been pals.
My sister and i use to argue that we looked like him more than the other and not my mum. i guess i ended up looking like my mum.My bro is the one with all the fine features. he got the height 6.2, long-straight-no-yams-legs, good skin. Flat belly. drat! I’m jealous!

i thank God we were able to still stay together and love each other. we are a strong family. mum REALLY tried cuz to be both a mother and FATHER figure to her children was tough.

i wish i had danced with him. wish i could dance with him. Luther Vandross captured it well.

heres to you daddy. (kinda feels strange saying it).

Thanks for watching over us. hope u in heaven.

God bless us, everyone.
