when men were boys #latepost#

Wednesday  is one of those days I wish I could get more hours In between the hours of 4 and 6,That's because I have to be in church by six,I wake in  the morning knowing that by six o'clock I have to be somewhere, but no  matter How hard I try I am never ready,I still rush out when its past six

Still about that boy :(

Where Did I stop?
OK so we started texting,I get instant reply everytIme I sent a text,he had so much enthusiasm about meeting me,he told me How much he liked my career etc. one morning I got a good morning text asking how my night was and trying to find out what I was up to,I replied and that was it,something has happened to my instant reply,I waited 10mins,30,1hour,2Hours,4hours and then the whole day ,so I called him,to check if he was hit by a trailer (only on that condition should he not reply me) he picked up and apologized for not replying bla bla bla, said he was hanging out and mentioned us hanging out soon, said he appreciates that I called, so I hung up and thought that was the  end of our long-distance texting, but my dear that was the beginning :( he dint text or call, kept liking my pictures on instagram though,and then after a while he stopped :(  and then I started wondering watsup?, na jeje I sidown before he talk say e wan see me o,after about 3 days he replied the Hey" I sent to him on watsapp, talked about being busy and all and that was it again, and then finally my friend said I should send a "start to finish" message,so if he replies with a "start to finish" also then amma free him,and guess what? He Did,so he is free now,but what am wondering is,why Did he start up something in the first place? Plus I just wanted to be a friend nothing more,anyways I have come to the conclusion that he has found another Muse so I dedicate my version of Bruno Mars' "When I was your man" to him......
     
It all just sounds like ooooohhhhh......
Mmm ,too young too dumb to realize
That I should have agreed to see you
And  held your hand
Should've gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
To go with you to every party
Co's all you wanted to do was hookup
Now my Bobo is dancing
But he is dancing with another girl.: (

There is this boy.........

Yes there is this boy,whose name cannot b mentioned,well for safety's sake I won't,the boy hasn't been talking to me:'( and am here with the gist so you guys can help me out,tell me if i Should just breathe or keep worrying,or call or ignore or anything.
      OK let me say the story from the beginning,once upon a time,I happened to follow somebody(a guy,the guy),why I followed Him I still can't tell,maybe I just saw a pic I liked or so,I just can't remember, but it was an innocent follow button I clicked o,anyways I got something close to an instant follow back, which I don't even see as anything Cos like I said It was innocent,things went on normally Without special attention to anyone. After about a few weeks or months,I went for an occasion and I saw someone who looks very much like him(it even took me time to figure out who the person was looking like)i later discovered the person is a close relation of his, well that's how he became a part of my subconscious,I then started Spying On him and smiled everytime he liked or commented on my pics on instagram, I liked his pics also in return,soon I Started looking up to seeing his likes on my page,i wasn't looking forward to meet or talk to him,I was quite fine With seeing him on instagram, so I did not even have any reason to fantasize.
One midnight as I was working On my sewing I got a notification on instagram, it's midnight so I took my time,read it like 2 hours later,lo and behold. It was from my supposed INSTAGRAM CRUSH and guess what? He wanted to meet me,I smiled to myself,and then replied the Mention,I gave my no and then In a bit we were chatting on whatsapp,and then moved to phone calls,he wanted to see me as soon as he could,he asked me to come to his house but I declined, he got me wondering, What's on his mind,from nowhere (sorry from instagram ) this guy just popped up and keeps saying he needs to see me soon, sounds more like he was asked to bring someone for rituals ASAP......... lol that was a joke,I wasn't that scared but,this guy is someone I never thought of meeting, you know it's a different thing when you have a crush on someone and you are looking Forward to meet the person,this one just got the crush title from liking my pictures on instagram.
   We moved from watsapp to texting,yes Cos sumtimes my phone gets cranky and the network too sometimes develops cramps,just so nothing comes between me and my new friend,we stuck to texting. Sadly this din't last for long :( .............to be continued.

To whom much is given,much is also expected

This last month has been a great one,besides the fact that i had to do a lot of work in it,i also learnt a lot from it,i understood what my ceramics lecturer said that "to whom much is given,much is also expected". so what happens when we give much and expect much,then don't get much?

fabric shopping with the girls

            Yesterday bebe called me up and asked if we could go shop for fabrics for her cousin,i said yes and we fixed a time to meet up.

            Today bebe called and said she was downstairs,i asked her to come up while i get ready,i had a friend around at that time,she was a little ill,she asked if she could follow us and i agreed since we were only three,unknown to me that bebe was here with her sis fola,well that made us five,we left for the market,on our way ife called and asked if she could met us up(her sis told her about the fabric shopping) we agreed and chose a spot to meet,when we met her,she was also with a friend, that made us  seven, wow! 

BACK AND BETTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Its 2:30am, just me and my laptop awake,as usual i do stuff on the Internet,try to catch up with my friends on skype,facebook send mails etc. while doing all these i just i kept wondering if i should go on my blog, PS: i wonder all the time am logged on to my computer. Even though i draft off-line, i never get to publish, due to so many circumstances in my control( i just chose not to control it) anyways i i finally opened it,cleaned the cobwebs dusted,swept and mopped d floor, taaaadaaa ......................

Its a wonderful world :)

I see trees of green........ red roses too
I see em bloom..... for me and for you
And I think to myself.... what a wonderful world.

I see skies of blue..... clouds of white
Bright blessed days....dark sacred nights
And I think to myself .....what a wonderful world.

Happy birthday to a mother like no other.(Tribute)

Every young girl's dream is to become a great woman,give her family the best and be a model and friend to her kids,well I don't know about you,but that's my own dream. This makes me wonder what my mother's dream was,the world wasn't this way when she was growing,things happened more on "fate" ground than on "dreams" ground, did she dream of marrying a super man,give birth to super kids and become a super mum? or did she just make out the best from any situation she found herself in? All these come to my mind everytime I see,hear or think about my mother,I wonder if I can ever be a better mother,cos the bible made us understand that the glory of the latter shall b greater than the former,this is a great challenge.
   This is what it is all about,my mother is 50 today,so am telling the world about her,I once saw a post in a shop that says "if our services please you,tell the world" we successfully planned a surprise party for her,believe me it wasn't easy,we were planing something bigger but she found out and said no,she dosnt want us wasting money,dis is coming from a woman who on our birthdays give us money to celebrate but never celebrates hers,my mother is so selfless,she lives her life for us. When I think about how much she has been there for me I just want to cry,she is the woman of proverbs 31,she works very hard to make me greater than she is,she is an idol.
This is what my siblings have to say about her......

I met this woman some twenty something years ago, all my life, i have never seen someone with a bigger heart. She taught me that nothing was impossible, there is no such thing as being a weaker vessel and most of all she showed me that, as a woman you can have a career and a family and you can balance both. She trained me in the way of the Lord( i would forever be grateful for that) I like to describe her
As Rebecca: always ready to serve, humble and defender of her favorite(we know who *winks*).
As Ruth: you can be sure she wld not abandon you along the way, she wld be there till the end even if things are unfavorable.
As Esther: she would standup for you at all times, even if it means risking her life. When the bible was describing the virtuous woman in the bible, she was the one the bible was talking About. This woman is my MOTHER, she is a mentor and a role model. The best of her kind, if i had to pick a mother all over again, i would still pick you. Thank you so much for being such a great mother and for loving us all. Happy Birthday ma'am. May you live long to eat the fruit of your labour. I love you beyond what words can describe.

All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother." The words of the great Abraham Lincoln former president of the USA ring true even from my lips. You have been an epitome of strength, endurance, undying love and so much more. You have gracefully shouldered a burden heavier than you deserve, and you have done it outstandingly well. Over the years your affection has been admirable, from your early deprivations for our gratification to the concern shown even now when I tell you about my progress. Of course I would have loved for more show of affection, but it's understandably hard, what with all the running around you have to do, going to work from 5am to 10pm sometimes even on weekends. But still I am grateful and I love you. You have been the rudder of my ship. You probably will not know the kind of joy that courses through my vein when I call you and instead of an 'hello' you pick up the phone with an 'omo o' pride, joy unspeakable. Remember when I went for Ultimate search? Every step of the way all I thought of was how proud I'd make you if I was successful. On the day I qualified, the first person I called was you. And the next round when I failed to qualify the first person I told was you too. In good or bad times you have been there, I appreciate you for that,and my hope and prayer is that your efforts, your prayers, will be rewarded in this life by my hands In Jesus Name,a very happy birthday to you mummy,may God bless you abundantly.

It is with sadness that I announce the fact that no one else has had, is having, and would have the privilege to be 'mothered' by the best possible mother ever. Everybody says their mother is the best, qualifying her with the best adjectives their diction can offer, however my mom is nothing like that. I tried(I really did), and all I could come up with is, if there was to be a ranking of 'super-people', people who can take the world on their shoulders, and still look and feel fine about it, up there my mother would be. That pretty much says it all, the 'statutory' motherly love + the extra-ordinary motherly love, is just out of this world. I'm just taking this time out to say Thank you Mom, I love u ma, and Happy Birthday Ma...God bless you.
  

Diaries of a workaholic 2

The saying "what won't kill you would make u stronger" is so tru,at the beginning of this week I took a book to write all that I had to make and do this week,it was a lot,this same week is the week I planned to take my Thursday to Sunday off dress making and have a great weekend,then I thought to myself how is it possible I do all this in 3 days of which Monday was out,I went fabric shopping and had my hair locked,so am left with 2 days.
I picked my phone to call my tailor,to tell her we have a lot to do this week, she has to be here early and be fast about work,just guess her response.........."am not feeling too well o,I want to go to the hospital,maybe I will be fine tomorrow" seriously? Am so quick to activate work mode so I got on the machine and work began,day then night but with the hope that madam "am not well" will be here tomorrow,next day I picked my phone to call her again,she dint pick up,mins later she sent a text "am restless can't make it" I just laughed,does this girl know what restless means? Anyways I gave up on her and faced my work,I sewed from morning to evening,then go to school to draft patterns till 9pm get back and keep sewing.
Thursday came,still sewing,figured my friend whom I was supposed to have the weekend with couldn't make it to Nigeria,it was a sad one but then I have a lot to do,would I have had the time to spare? Am I supposed to be happy or sad? I really looked forward to this weekend,and now I just think it dint happen cause I had a lot to do,you know how things happen so that some other things can happen,on the other end am telling my friend to try see the bright side of the failed trip,he asked if I can see it and I said "no" it wasn't until now that I realized that I could see the bright side,maybe if he came some of my clients would have killed me by now.
It's Saturday evening,I managed to make sure everyone is happy,my clients my friend and me.thats the joy of working.
PS: am prepared to work without my tailor nxt week.

Lamentations (Iba Housing Estate)

I have hardly taken half of my breakfast when I heard a familiar voice shouting "wash your toilet,clean your bathroom,the man is still around" this sent me on a serious flash back,this is where I went to secondary school,I lived here for only six years of my life,the voice I heard was that of the man that hawks toilet cleaning stuff in the estate,he is still selling on a Hawking scale(after over 7years) its really sad. I remember seeing the children I buy roasted fish and pepper from at the bus-stop,the have grown but still sell d same stuff,same size of tray,same quantity of fish.what happened to GROWTH?,what went wrong with MOVEMENT? just made me wonder if anything or anybody changed since I left,besides seeing small girls I used to know with either pregnancy or babies,I think there is no change,pple look the same way,streets same,shops same.then I thought to myself if I was still here would I b without change too? would I have a baby by now?would fashion mean going to learn work by the roadside? Would I even have a dream? I think the problem is that they get too comfortable where they are and forget it can be better,they think less of tomorrow and they live each day as it comes. The moment they start thinking,actions would come in and change would b celebrated.

Diaries of a workaholic 1

Well am not saying am a workaholic but If that's what u call someone who is always working then I think I pass,I like to work,ok first this is what I do,I am a student designer,I make clothes for people and I love doing what I do,I combine reading industrial design with practicing fashion design,industrial design consists of fashion,ceramics and textile.
With all this I rarely have time for family and friends,I sometimes spend the whole 24hrs in the studio,It was stressful but I loved it,pple admired me for always working and encourage me to keep it up.
Recently my schl went on break n they have refused to resume,I am enjoying it cos I get to do my PP without thinking of school work,I got my tailor to resume work,so I did less work,this time I had made me realize something ,which is that I have a lot of friends whom I rarely spend time with so they have gotten used to living without me and now AM LONELY,yes I am,am here sitted, stuck in my hostel with my best pals(my phone and laptop) I can't think of who to call and hang out with,I miss Nkiru so much,I miss the guys I play n hang out with cos the treat me like one of them,I miss having people around me.got to  hang out for an hour with Yinka and Banky,but then I was back to my lonely world,I seriously need a playmate,I need my friends back,I need school to resume,I just need something other than fashion in my life,I need fun,I need adventure,I need you,yes u rescue me ASAP!

The new me

I decided to take 3 days of sewing,so i am home for 3 days,on my way i was thinking of what i would be doing in this dry ikorodu for 3 days,so i drew a plan that has lots of sleep,cooking of jollof rice and turkey,seeing some friends,have a new look,and taking loads of pictures.

today is the second day,i av seen a friend and i would be having lunch with 2 other friends in a bit,am presently cooking my jollof rice,made my hair and took my pictures (yes i did,changed clothes plenty of times and had my cousin snap me :).),i feel fulfilled,enjoy the pics.

Happy mother's day mums

Yesterday was one of the numerous mother's day we have in a yr,I think its the 3rd this yr,I happen to have so many mothers but I dint call any of them,it dosnt mean I love them less,I know everyone loves their mama (you would be a lunatic not to love yours) well since I dint call her to tell her I love her I want to tell the world how much I love my mothers.
         I would start with my birth mother,my mum dosnt do d PDA some other mothers do,she acts like she dosnt care if u jump into d lagoon,she talks like getting u the gadgets you want isn't a priority,she says stuff like "I am borrowing you this house rent o,you would return it when u start working" or you have  conversation with her about you wanting a new phone,she would just dismiss the conversation and say,"when you start working go and use your money to buy bb" and then she sends you a text in the afternoon "I just saw a bold2 do you want" say no and she would tell the story of why she never bought you a phone to your children.
    She is a super woman,she is hardworking,she is the woman of proverb 31,she makes me look forward to being a mother.one thing that makes me wonder is that since I have known my mum she has never celebrated her birthday,but she gives us money to celebrate ours,I can't remember her coming home with on nice lace she bought for herself,but I can remember her calling me up cause she just saw something in a store and thinks I wld like it.there is just so much I can say about this wonderful women called MUM,they are great at being mums and they are better fathers at the same time.
Another thing that makes me awe is the way  they love your friends,that also bring me to my other mothers,they love you like you are thier own,its just one great characteristic of being a mother,they call me,bring me food,buy me stuff,give me money oh I just love my mums,one of them has her birthday today,I wish her a very happy birthday.
To every mother in my life I love you all mega much,I pray that you all reap the fruit of your labour in hundred folds God bless you for loving us. And to my pregnant friends happy mothers day in advance.

FREEDOM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feels good to wake up at 7:01 am and not have ur heart do "gbam" at the thought of what you have to do for the day,that has been the trend for about a month now,I don't even get to sleep well in my sleep I remember things to do and I just take a deep breath n try to go back to sleep.one time I noticed my word for the week was the same week after week "if I don't die this week I can't die before my time " yea its that crazy,to think I used my mother's money to buy trouble,I carry my leg waka go bank go pay for acceptance fee,I shldnt have accepted the admission,I wld just b a free hungry man now.....lol.
    So now am glad to announce to you that for the next two weeks am free from industrial ceramics,studio pottery,textile resist,product design,pattern drafting,clothing construction.
Now its time to make some dough,u can see or contact me if u have clothes to make.

Do men really care about fashion?

How do we explain this fashion? what year would this manifest?

my dreadful journey

            Hmmm, in this 3 months of my hair what eyes have seen mouth cannot say o, but i will try to make tongue co operate with  teeth and say something. 1^st sad thing that happened was that i left GH, as y’all know i started my hair there with the best “LEGEND LOCKS”, so getting someone or a place to wear their shoes is the jamb i have been writing since o, and i still have not passed, in my search for a good loctician  i met true love, someone directed me to creative barbers at surulere, that was where i met that so called love o.

There is something to be thankfull for in 2012

Here we are at the end of the year, the end of the year which is a time to take stock, a time to recall, a time to look back, a time to plan for a better next year. I get to do a lot of thinking,so one day, sited @ the back seat in the car back in Ghana, we drove past a house that got burnt a night before and my aunt said a loud prayer for the family that lost their house to the fire, and then my mind traveled and i thought about us, why doesn’t our own houses burn, why don’t we get involved in accidents even as we travel every day, i ended up with so many “why” and then my conclusion is that there is so much to be thankful for.

yvonne nelson's 100 shoes

Ghanaian screen goddess Yvonne nelson recently declared that she has over a hundred shoes, Nigerians haven’t been taking it easy on her for that, they kept making comments like “just for your 2 feets? Na wa o” some said she should be thinking of how to make sure the poor have shoes and not boasting about her

The judiciary would reverse INEC's action....REV CHRIS

Rev chris okotie founder of household church and presidential candidate of fresh democratic party claims that PDP is responsible for the deregistration of his party,he says he is very confident that what INEC has done would be reversed by the judiciary, when asked about Goodluck Jonathan he said and i quote ”Look at the country; we are neither here nor there. It is the same story of corruption and stagnation. I still believe that Jonathan is a great mistake. I know that the elections were tampered with”. I guess the country would better if he becomes president.
