New Week

Hello everyone... How r u? I hope you had a lovely weekend cos me I sure did.

Sadly, I haven't kept my promise: " of blogging 3 times a week.

Men!!!!! setting goals is so easy, but implementing them is another ball game. But I will try with the help of the Almighty God.

Let me gist you about my boring weekend.

Friday: woke up late, just basically spent the day reading a romance novel..Oh boy.. don't you think I should get a life? loll. Anyways my uncle (this is my husband, I like to call him uncle when I want to be mischievous or I am not happy with him and don't forget I always add the accent), said we were going to the movies, late at night. Excited about it, you know watching movies at 11pm in the dark...Really something to look forward to. Anyways my dear we didn't go again oh, cos he was tired.. That's why I stopped calling him Temi (which in Yoruba means "my own"), and I started calling him uncle with the accent.

Slept angry...*kissing my teeth*

Saturday:

I went for drama practice in the morning and market with uncle in the afternoon. Since he didn't take me out on Friday night, he decided to join me to the market. So his name changed back to Temi. (Now I am happy and I have forgiven him)...

After the haggling I was able to buy goat meat, which was originally #6,000 for #2900. This amazed Temi as he had earlier told me to buy the meet for the price of #6,000...Imagine. How can I go to market and just take the price they give me, abi did my mother not teach me well...loll. After this we came back home.

Sunday:

This was my girls time out after service, so I told Temi bye and off I went..(Regular girls time out is a very good recipe). I went for 2 shows. The first one cost #2,000 but till I departed by 4pm it hadn't started and I didn't like the organization. The second one which held in Expo center, Eko hotel and which was #1,000 was fantastic. Round table sitting, drinks at your disposal, and fantastic food. Eko hotel standard... buffet.....

Menu: fried rice, white rice, potato, different types of salad, fish and goat meat pepper soup, ofada rice and sauce, beef, chicken, stew, efo, pounded yam etc. I couldn't believe my eyes. Artists like TY Bello, Kate Henshew, Basketmouth, Tara etc. where there and they all spoke, encouraging the youths. For me Tonye Cole killed it. I was deeply impressed.

The end..

Monday:

new week, a lot of deadlines, Seriousness begins.

Do take care and have a lovely day.

Please let me know how your weekend went? I am so sure it will not be as boring as mine...

Hello

Hi guys.. its been a while and I missed all of you. Sorry I have been incommunicado, I went on hoils and got lazy posting. But anyways I am back and I promise this will not repeat itself again.

So what has been happening in your lives, please gist me?

For me I have learnt that life for a lot of people isn't as it seems. A lot of Nigerians living abroad are suffering.

I have learnt that there are Rats in London...loll.. " Now why I say this is because I overheard a conversation between 2 ladies in the salon, and one of them said that there weren't any rats in London"....... Can you imagine my shock? They so have Rats and next time I travel I have been asked to bring Nigerian Rat poison, it works wonders..loll

Lastly I have learnt that from next year international students in the UK will not be given 2 years post study visa. They will be shoved back home after spending millions on education... How sad....But then again if our Government transforms our educational system. create jobs for the youth, wouldn't Nigeria be a better place?

This should be a challenge to our Government that we should make our educational system really "the best harbor of education".. if there is anything like that..

Oh well enough of all the hard stuff, genuinely how r u? I hope fine? How did you all survive through the Lagos rain of last Sunday? If you ask me that was Nigeria's natural disaster.

I hope it doesn't rain like that anymore. For the last thing we need in this country is "natural disaster"

Take care of yourself and have a lovely day.

It is available for sale in whatever colour and can be made in whatever size you wish. It can also be delivered to you house, wish however attracts an extra charge. (this is within Nigeria)

Now to my 100Th follower: this brooch, which embellishes any fabric and gives it a magical look, is yours. I am a sucker for red, but you can let me know what colour you want it and it will be yours.

A little photography tip: " this picture was shoot raw and not worked on. This is because the settings of the camera, the composition, the lighting's where in order. Giving the graphics designer little or no work. As a photographer one needs to be able to take lovely pictures raw. This is what makes you a good photographer"....

My bag Meme

Hello and welcome on board the secretlilies ship: Tiyan, Lady Ngo, Free de lulu and Constance. I hope you have a lovely time and feel free to stop by anytime...

So guys back to a new week?

What do u have planned for this week?

Well for me a lot of things. I have a to do list and I hope and pray I do everything on this list of mine: beginning with: going back to my writing.

I haven't written in a long time and I feel like a part of me is dying. I need to pick up my pen and write.... Oh well I am sure I will come around to it.

Naijamuminlondon nominated me for the my bag meme...it's something to do with letting everyone know what's inside your bag... Oh boy...

As much as I loooooooooove bags I don't have a very good one right now. I have been meaning to buy a lovely black bag but haven't come around to doing it...

Anyways this bag is my dream bag. It's from an Italian designer and it cost $2,500. What I will carry in this bag like what I always have in all my bags...

1. A book.... either fiction or none fiction... if it's fiction it has to have romance in it, if not I am not for it...loll..

2. A yarn and a hook...yes I crochet and I am loving it... Make a lot of stuff from yarn. Will soon upload some of my work for sale. Baby clothes, caps, blankets, bibs, sweaters on sale very soon.

3. A book and a pen... yep I am a writer at heart. So I tend to write everywhere I go... Really weird cos I have spotted some people, looking at me in a strange way. Why wouldn't they when I write down things anywhere I go.

4. My phones: " my blackberry for leisure and my Nokia phone for work...

5. I always try to take my make up bag with me but since I never remember to retouch my make up i just stick with the lip gloss.

6. My ATM cards, drivers license, some cash in my wallet...

7. My pashmina in case I go into an office where the A.C. doesn't have a remote control, cos I get cold easily..

8. A little bottle of perfume in my bag, cos I love to smell good at all times..

9. And lastly my sunglasses.....need to get a new one cos I have almost destroyed the old one...

I think that's all I carry in my bag.. And I always have this in my bag.

Anyways join me in serious prayers...I need to get my dream bag soon..loll...
