First Anniversary!

*clears cobwebs*

I stumbled upon my blog today (LOL) and realized my first post was published a year ago, today. *raises glass*

Special shoutout to those who visit and comment, I appreciate you.

It's almost November and I'm at the point where I've started reflecting on what I want to accomplish and see happen in my life in 2015, with God's ability of course. I want it to be BIG...HUGE and I foresee a great year, in every sense of the word. *prays silently*

Amen.

Till next time...xx

Ladies...

There's something going on and I'm trying to understand it.

I must have been in deep sleep when most people in the world were made authority on how and what ladies NEED to do or be doing to get/attract/keep/trap a man.

Arrrrggghhhhh!!!

The next time I see a Facebook post or Tweet or Instagram beginning with "Ladies" and accompanied by some (usually very obvious and unnecessary) advice for "single" ladies, I might go all Solange on their behind (help me Lord!!).

Okay, I think I'm done.

Signed,

Management.

Music

I should do better with posting.

Listening to one of my faves, Kenny Lattimore has inspired me to blog about some of the musical artists I love. I grew up listening to songs my parents listened to, like ABBA, Lionel Ritchie and some others. I also grew up listening to gospel jams and some good old Nigerian artistes, thanks to TV (NTA, for example) and radio.

Funny, I've always had an "old" taste in music. I was never the cool kid that knew all the latest songs in their teens (90s- early 00s). I'm more in touch with some of the latest "cool" jams these days, thanks to my car radio *laughs*.

Anyway, I'm currently loving:
KEM
Kenny Lattimore
Anthony Hamilton
Tamar Braxton
And of course, some gospel jams from Naija and abroad.

Looking forward to discovering new music!

Till next time. xx

Happy New Year!

I know this is super late but better late than never! ;) I hope the year started well for everyone. I have high hopes for this year and I hope you do too.

Hmm...this post seems filled with the word "hope". Coincidence or nay?

Cheers to a new year!! *raises glass*

Lesson Learned

Recently, I had a huge craving for some serious ofada rice and ayamase stew. I decided to go to this fancy restaurant somewhere in Lagos to get it. I no know who send me message oo, I should've just found a nice 'mama put' or buka to go satisfy my cravings but no, impatience got the best of me. I happily bought the food (let's ignore the rude boy that attended to me), even paid for the take-away pack (that was a first for me!) and took it home. I hurriedly warmed the food, heaped some of the food on my fork and shoved in into my mouth...*pause*...what?! It tasted like I was eating rice and palm-oil. I was sooo disappointed! So, after wasting fuel/time/anticipation/energy to go and buy this thing, this was all I got?! Lesson learned: Next time you're craving some "local" fare, go to the pros, not them fancy schmancy places. A word is enough for the wise.
