So i was tagged by H and P.E.T Projects and Blessing and Him and Her and naijalines and @ilola
The rules are as follows:
1. Thank the person who gave you the award and link back to them in your post. (Thanks Guys)
2. Tell us 7 things about yourself.
3. Award 15 other bloggers.
4. Contact these bloggers and let them know that they have won.
So here goes nothing really:
I have the worst sense of direction ever! I can go to a place ten times and still ask for direction. Infact when I still stayed on the mainland, they removed that celtel billboard you can see on third mainland and I wondered if I was truly on third mainland or lost as usual. LOL
I believe love is life
I hate seeing things in their multiples…it gives me GOOSEBUMPS
I love that my boyfriend writes me poetry
I believe the longer the relationship the less likely it is to lead to marriage
I have the worst menstrual pain ever known to mankind and yet to be unraveled by doctors
I believe that God answereth by fire
I am sure everyone has done this so....

2011 ...renewed hope
2010 promised so much and delivered so not as much.
I wept emotionally and financially
Discouragement, disappointment and depression were my companions
There were days i had no cash...literally in my purse or in the bank
Salaries were delayed and not even paid out-rightly for three months stretch
my younger brother couldn't return to school...no money to pay his fees
I was called from the office one day that my dad was found unconscious at home
my 6 year relationship crumbled
Misfortunes came in triples
it rained..it poured
all gloom..all doom
But i trusted God
I remembered everything he has done for me in the past
I called upon him
and he answered
He showed me great and mighty things i couldn't dare dream of
He showed me i wasn't alone
He gave me triple for my troubles
laughter for every tear
I couldn't ask for a more perfect end to the year
Indeed God is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow
This year, i am hoping to be more true to him
Pay my tithe regularly
Have my devotional everyday
go to church and mid week service regularly, etc
If you are going through a hard time at the moment
just hang in there
God is able
and shall give you joy for your mourning
Just the way morning comes after night without fail
Happy 2011
Keep the faith

Still in Abuja
Still in Abuja and it has been a mini vacation. Work does not resume till 9 and by 5.30 at the latest i am back to the hotel room.
Free food can be a bitch as awoof they really run belle...haven't put on weight though cuz i go to the gym every day.
My BFF just flew in from the UK..cant wait to see her
I miss my boyfriend..but his sisters (here in Abuja) have done a good job of spoiling me
There seem to be a lot of money in this town...some of my friends, with no clear source of income are living really big
The men are big time ashewos..them no dey use eye see yallow, fine girl.
Cant believe next weekend is Christmas...it just hasn't caught on..might be because i am not in Lagos tho
My parents are traveling..am sorta excited to spend xmas without all them family reunion stuff for once
This year has been the most sporadic year of my life..honestly..i'v had ups and downs..highs and lows..peaks and valleys....
but am really grateful that i am in a great place emotionally and financially at the moment
Merry Xmas

Me+Update+Random
I don’t need a mirror to tell me that i have put on so much weight...earlier in the year i lost so much weight that my shoe size dropped from 40 to 39..i went to dress sizes down (from a 12 to an 8). But the weight is back again...i guess i have enjoyed one romantic dinner to many, i am somewhere between a ten and a twelve (UK) now and my size 8 shirts do not fit again.. sad..i am thinking of paying for pro flex gym for a month.kai! but the money....either ways dieting begins today.
For those of you that called on me to redeem myself, i tried this weekend o! Made goat meat pepper soup and fried rice and i guess it came out well. The boyfriend was pleased (dont think he had the pepper soup though)
In totally unrelated news, i got this call from some strange dude last week, after introducing himself, he said my cousin who is his mutual friend gave me his number, that he is looking for a girl to settle down from his(my) village and i came in highly recommended, that how old am I? That he doesn’t want anyone above 28...i laughed and said i wasn’t in the market and hung up...the next day my cousin called me and pleaded with me to just meet the guy, blab la, after giving him a piece of my mind for giving my number out without consent and blab la, i agreed to hang out with this dude..
So come Friday, he asks that we do dinner, i say no lunch and he says where i say chose..he settled for sweet sensation...i am not a fan..but hey, .anyways got there some mins before him, immediately he walks in and locates me, he says he is starving and practically runs to the counter leaving me behind. I have never been so amazed or laughed so hard my entire life..no need to bore you all with the date, but il summarize by saying he would never ever pick up the phone to call me again.
This week, i am off to Abuja for a month project..so no driving, no Lagos stress, waking up at 4.30 or traffic for me..for one whole month...i hope the hotel has a gym though..
Be safe and blessed people

Mini update
Two week back, I decided to cook for the boyfriend, to reciprocate his “many” kind acts. Before then, I had only made yam & eggs & for him, which is his best meal actually.
I wasn’t up for chopping stuff, so fried rice was outta it, so I decided to cook white rice, turkey stew and plantain.
Had grilled the turkey, cooked the rice, was making the stew….when I slept off.. . The stew was burnt black, he ate it like that though, but I couldn’t even manage to eat it..he had to buy me dinner later..since then i have been feeling kinda weird.
Just decided to do a mini update, I am stressed out at the moment.
I need a new job..if your company is looking for a chartered accountant, or a financial consultant hola @ me…
Have a good weekend people
P.S is it true that there is a sallah holiday again in November?

Insulating my heart
So the writer of one of the very few non 9ja blogs I read has been going through the aftermath of a failed relationship, which reminds me of the ordeal of literally feeling your heart breaking, the physical pain, the endless tears, the feeling inadequate, the depression, the discouragement, the disappointment.
Heartbreak is an awful thing…it is not what one can even wish an enemy…
But the good news is that it always passes…..just the way morning never fails to show up after every night.
When falling in love…it is always advisable to insulate your heart, to remember that always is not forever, I guess that may help lessen the inevitable ache if things don’t go as planned.
Every heart should be insulated….
….I know that….
Iv failed at this
I am falling for him already
It is kinda hard not to fall for a man that loves me (selflessly, generously, words fail me, so I will summarize it by saying) just right
What exactly is the point of love, if you don’t fall face flat into it completely without inhibition????
The point I am trying to make is that am really happy…I could get drunk on it..
How y’all doing?

Open letter to the EX
Dear You,
It is with great joy in my heart and overwhelming gratitude to God that I write you this letter.
I am so happy because I am whole again, my heart is healed and I am OVER YOU. It is amazing because only last month (June), I was scared that it will never happen. Time does heal every wound for real and morning definitely comes after every night. God is indeed awesome.
Looking back to how much I suffered from January to June, how I wept, wished, prayed, hoped and all I just sigh. However, I forgive myself for all those unnecessary and wasted emotions because you were everything that love represented in my life plus it just felt so right. So right that I dint give margin for error, I dint hedge for uncertainty, I guess that is what made it harder to deal with.
I don’t know the exact day I got over you, I just realized sometime towards the end of June, that I had gone an entire week plus without thinking about you at all, and I had been happy for a while without knowing it, depression, discouragement, disappointment were suddenly foreign to me (tres amazing considering how they had been my companion for the first half of the year).
Am so grateful for everything July has been to me. It has been an amazing way to start the 2nd half of the year and if it is any indication, 2010 is gonna end as a blast for me.
Thanks for your call yesterday, thanks for the invite to see your new house, am sure it is great and beautiful but I’l pass, thanks for missing me, I kinda don’t miss you at all, sorry. Thanks for praying for me, may heavens answer (Amen). I wish you the very best in life.
P.S thanks all for your well wishes, prayers and comments and on my last post, when I said I wanted this relationship to be shorter than the 6 years of my first relationship, I wasn’t being pessimistic, I actually meant the dating process, una no want make I marry? LOL
