a kodak white moment
a view from a window
and it still keeps coming down
checked the tfl website
closures and suspensions already
good night white visitor
hope tomorrow is warmer

knowing me knowing you

2012-01-30T22:48:00.003+01:00

yea you can tell i am listening to ABBA hence the title of my post.
sigh!
i get so emotional these days, like a 37 year old expecting her 3rd grand child
lol
if...
i stopped work last friday.... and it was overwhelming
absolutely
so i will miss the bus chases early in the morning. Every day i had to work apart from the alternate sundays i told myself "6am i am out of this building"
hmmmmmm
6:20 am i puffing and calculating what time i need to get to the corner of artesian road before i am officially late, by the way i am very much at home.
Then i am walk-running to catch a 23 or a 7
omd! funny times...
I think no matter what, at different times of each day, we should pause whatever we are doing and simply laugh at ourselves just because. Laughing is like a good tonic for the soul.
so i will miss the maze involved in putting stock out. Sometimes even the codes never help. I made up for myself a technique so i am not walking about unnecessarily.
i will most of all miss everyone...
the nicknames, the good laughs, the muffins, the jokes, the footie talks, the sighs, the frowning customers, the happy customers, the extra hours, the briefs on the ground floor... it was an experience

...breaking up is never easy but i have to go....
knowing me knowing you is the best...

Something oily

2012-01-03T18:09:00.003+01:00

it is rather sad that we begin a new year like this.
that people with real feelings are ignored just so some others may become fattened
are we quick to forget that life is like smoke
here now and fading away.......

someone tweeted this link, pictures from occupy nigeria
http://d3ola.tumblr.com/post/15244346976/occupynigeria-occupylagos

should wickedness thrive where the godly reign?

should something oily get so pricey?
in a nation where the government doesn't even help with healthcare....?

remember it is the fattened cow that gets sacrificed...

very sad...

God is still on His throne

this that of 2011

2011-12-31T23:35:00.002+01:00

so i had this post all figured out

then i did
i was going to post about the weather,
and prolly much more
well.... i didn't eventually

December 31, Thank you Lord
it is actually another last day for another year

however, let us take that into the new year
"the art of forgiving" no matter how wronged you are

i hope 2012 is a wonderful year

Happy Birthday

december twenty eleven begins

2011-12-01T18:51:00.003+01:00

i've got a headache right now and it is only cos i am trying to beat nature and ensuring i don't fall asleep till after 9pm..... well i have been feeling sleepy since 11am...
but then again there are seriously more important things than reading that above
like saving the euro i suppose

wow December begins with rain...last year twas snow
thankful that we have been given the opportunity to be alive even now
being thankful i have learned and experienced is way better than mopping and feeling sorry for yourself

I got a temp job.... like my first in ages.......and this one pays lol
I pray that no matter what i'll always be the girl God has made me to be
a vessel of honor

this year has been different, with a lot of 'firsts'. Still i pray that we will all be smiling in thirty-one days' time as we wish each other happy new year

here's to winds and rains and meeting new people.... to presents and smiles and funny faces.

worrying...

2011-11-03T00:29:00.000+01:00

This morning, the first Bible verse I read was 1 Peter 5:7. I still had tiny bit of worry in me.

Went off about my day's business...worry abit worry develops wings and flies...but comes back several times.

I had to take a mini (well traffic no gree make im mini) journey during the day... still abit of worrying tho
about "my issues" and I saw a guy covered with warts one of my buses...head, face, hands.
"Can my worrying help me positively in anyway?" My Thots
I said a prayer or two
Healing for the guy
Help for my issues

Moved on, came across a london freak speaking to himself
"Lord have mercy" My Thots

Then this night on the bus home...just needing my bed as it drizzles... I see a lady, her head resting on the bus window, half asleep I remember that verse.

Dear Lord,I get so preoccupied with myself often times. There I go thinking about me me me. Help me learn to look away from me more times and seek to intercede for others

ah ha a feel moment

2011-10-31T20:53:00.003+01:00

So last friday i was on my way out to the other side of town and i needed to top up my oyster card. I headed to baker street station and while i was trying not to bump into anyone (rush hour) some nice dude waited for me to cross his path. There i was "in my element... lost in thought" looked up
in my mind: I know this guy ahhhhaaaaa
on my face: quick smile, nods thanks, head back down, eyes on the walk way
in my mind: gosh i know that guy!
other side of my mind: my friend! top up and catch the bus
and i pondered and pondered till saturday morning....then ah ha!
"this guy" happened to be Adetomiwa Edun who plays the character Sir Elyan in bbc's Merlin series. i picked up watching Merlin earlier this year when i saw a couple of episodes at one really nice Aunt's house.
omd! he's smaller in person... all the same i should have done what regular people do...err take a picture or something.
:)

ps: say a prayer for at least 3 different countries everyday in the month of November.
for healing, for restoration, for help, for endurance, for Jesus....the list can be long

one day in the past

2011-10-27T13:25:00.001+01:00

After this post y'all *say it with an american southern accent* ok may be not all, someone may think he/she knows me...

It's tuesday morning, cafe (pronounced caff)menu is bread, boiled egg and *weak tea* well they don't actually call it weak, and it isn't tea...it is bournvita or may be milo or be pronto.
Girls' dorm is bustling with noise, bathing, bucket filling and carrying *if there is water, most girls fill their buckets the night before* ironing... yea we were proud of the short (well mine was always),blue and white striped uniforms we wore. I had my favourite, it was a round neck gown with pockets on both sides and rested well above my knees.
"I'm opening sardine" I say to my roommate
"Good I'll open baked beans" she replies...heinz, you know the deal.
Other preparations continue as we get ready for the day.
6.45am "gba! gba! gba!" that is the sound of the padlock hitting some part of the door. Trust me you can hear it from the main gate if you listen well. "All juniors, get out of dorm! one! and the counting is to ten. Prefect locks door and ensures she has the names of all juniors who are 'late' *rme* those our seniors sha! some junior girls partly dressing out in the yard and they are not bothered. Depending on the prefect on duty, punishment had a range from submitting 4 double foolscap sheets with 'I will never get out of dorm late again' to being distributed to other seniors for duties
6.55am it's that sound again, for the senior girls. A bit of proper dressing up outside, eyes lined using some broken mirrors,wave combs and picking combs arranging the curls...by 7:15 most border girls have "kept their spaces" We sat on the main steps at school for assembly. Cafe was bustling with breakfast noise; different girls have "opened sardines, baked beans, tuna...mixed their own milos and bournvitas into the *weak tea* mixture. Cafe breakfast has been given a make over. Thank you Mr Asilem...*i hardly remember saying that tho* Someone hits a table, we all stand, a senior prays and we are free to do what we want. Assembly is by 7:45am.
Typical school noise before assembly... School bell is rung twice; the second ushers in the actual assembly meeting. If it's not going to be a funny assembly I put my head down all thru...sometimes up to share a few whispers with my friends. Did I mention most things we did were based on tradition? Sitting at assembly was also. You won't find junior boys or girls seated in the wrong place. Well except in rare cases. I'm in Js3, I am seated down well opposite the junior boys dorm. It was rather funny the older one got, the lower one sat on the stairs at assembly. Even though the steps were long we kind of had permanent seats for each term.
Announcements: "it is a tuesday in first term"
*All French club members have a meeting in cafe after this assembly*
*SS2D Agric students should see Mr Omopariola in the Old staff room after assembly*
*Cross country practise continues today, all those interested should be in front of the main library by 2:15*
*All Gongola house members who are marching are reminded to be in front of the main office by 2:15*
*All Osun house members marching meet at 2:15, Junior comm*
*dance n drama members meet under the mango tree in front of boys dorm by break*
Shall we stand to sing the school anthem
"...Our Faith in these" boy did we luv our School song
Anyway my first period is English Language,class is first floor main block....

Don't get too close to the edge and mess up,

heavy lumps in the throat
stooping shoulders
and lost thoughts...

Lord, please make me have growing faith...

happy hugging

2011-09-22T14:30:00.000+01:00

I am having one of those days.....
Why can't there be "happy hugging" you know like "happy slapping"?
I want a hug and someone to read me "psalm 34"
Heaven I need a hug
Someone tell me it will change
Lord show me,let me learn your way

It's life... It's like a fabric, may be ankara fabric.
It is colourful, sometimes beautiful as well.
The patterns and the colours all bright.
Sometimes it is not beautiful...
Takes keep looking till you are drawn.
The colours, dry and a drab. Plain plain plain till plain is deeper.
That is life, a mix of fun times and not so fun times, happy times
and not so happy times, smiles, thrills and laughter, frowns,
cryings and wails...
Keep looking into it and you learn your lesson.
The fabric has two sides...
And so does life

2011-07-30T22:42:00.001+01:00

We don't know for sure if things would have been different if you were still alive. Well, some things will definitely have been different.
Three years it has been. I learn new things, sometimes daily, sometimes weekly or even monthly.
Learned a lot, you were different too
A much better place you are now, that isn't a compensation
It is a block used in building up my hope

I made a friend...I'm dedicating a song of his to you..."empty spaces"...

in view of these things

2011-05-22T00:15:00.004+01:00

Funny how every certain number of years there occurs the 'end of the world' movement...
*shrug* it is funny to me
It is by so called Christians; rather sad too....
A bible passage that has been on my mind since i read about this movement is Romans 12:3
"don't think of yourself more highly than you" paraphrased...
They make Christianity all about fear and not all about Love. They also make it some kind of huge joke, these so caled Christians. Being a Christian is so not calculating figures and dates from the book of Daniel and then putting fear in the hearts of other men. My friend and I had a conversation about it, initially I hard a "no comment" stand on it then seating in the library later I began to type this post.
I just remembered...there's a bible passage that says the heart of man is desperately wicked...
I am not saying that this present world won't come to an end. I am believing my bible that says no man knows the day, nor the time, nor the hour. I am believing my bible that says only the Father knows. I am believing my bible that says watch and pray. I am believing my bible that speaks about false prophets.
There is a huge difference between Being heaven-focused and simply talking about the "end of the world". The former is all about Love. The latter, if not placed side by Side with the former is about fear.
Someone tweeted "I can't believe this rapture crap is actually on the news right now... We are all still here, and crazy christians are still crazy..." I say they are not crazy christians, they are Not christians in the first place.
"don't think of yourself more highly than you ought to...."
it is not about self....... even I am learning this daily, heck I still have my flaws...but in Christ I am made new

Summer holidays are round the corner, this year, so far has been different in many ways. Finally I will be spending the holidays in different many ways as well....

London town was warm for a few days, so it has been bare bodies and green grass...so far this year I have at different times gone out of my comfort zone, made friends, even gone to new places, met quality time wasters as well. The best part is I have learnt and i am still learning and learning a lot from the Bible too.

Cooking........I have learnt to cook food lmao! One day (a couple of years ago I loved to be driven till I had no one to actually drive me about- the convenient thing I did was learn to drive). That's how it has been with cooking. I started with the stuff I eat, so far it has been ok. Just don't expect too much cooking from me, I work on moods plus I still don't 'enjoy it' in that sense... and if u are thinking 'i am sorry for this babe, don't waste time' I love eating cereal and preparing it doesn't take so long ha!

I am just thankful for all the things that have and are still coming my way, for mercies and best of all Grace.

Ps: I joined the Apple family and I have been learning Spanish.

I guess I am just...

2011-04-26T20:38:00.000+01:00

Acting kindly is a decision one decides to take. I simply think people should ensure they are smart when others I kind to them. Lol others like me :). I read between, between under, between over the lines. I read meaning into everything and then again that is just me.

I believe when someone is kind to me I should not in anyway inconvenience the person and especially by bugging. I tend to remember my gestures therefore I don't need external reminders. I believe have offered the kind gesture hence I owe myself the duty to ensure I recall it and make I carry out whatever it is I ought to carry out. I find it irritating when people begin to wary my phone with unamazing calls, which i don't pick *shrug*. The calls make me wonder why i bother, then i am reminded about galatians 6:9 in the bible which requires one never to grow wary of doing good..... There is a huge difference between persistence and pestering, I don't enjoy being pestered, although I'd rather say it has helped my ignoring and phasing people out skills. And then again these are my... what should I call it... ways of doing things. Do you pester the life out of people who are kind to you? I'd rather say how selfish...you do so because you are thinking of yourself only
Oh dear, I guess I am just irritated..........

Friday the good day

2011-04-22T21:40:00.003+01:00

I've been learning a lot about Grace
........there much more and much more Grace thanwe can imagine
it is sometimes enough for us humans year in year out to perform the rituals
and routines sacrificially.........not taking time to ponder and understand.
We ought not to take delight in physical display but in true spiritual believing;
Not in walking about with wooden crosses and thorny crowns.....
In view of all the rituals and routines, I hope someone took time to gaze on the risen Christ
the Glorified and Grace-ful Christ with so much love, His blessings have made us rich without
adding any sorrow
let Good Friday be full of thanksgiving moments, rejoicing that no more are we weighed down
by the weight of sin, He has called his own
*greater love has caused that he lay His life for his friends, His people*

******it is a relationship He has with us not a religion we have with Him******

been a year now

2011-04-22T11:41:00.004+01:00

it has been a year now
doubt his family has moved on
moving on is a hard thing to do
no matter what they say
and his friends.........
The few I know haven't really
it is always different when you know
you won't be hearing the person say 'hi'
it has been a year now
for some it doesn't feel so long

For myself

2011-04-20T21:34:00.000+01:00

tears for myself
I let them fall out
Sad for myself
Is that the way out?
A push for myself
I need to get out
Weary is myself
From finding no way out
Out of this ...
Depending on myself
has left me further cheerless

Pray, Lord
I surrender myself
Pull me out of these dumps

our friend was born
he has passed, 6years out of this world
with a little part of each of us
that hole, he only fills
i'll hold on always
because we miss him this much
rest now dear dear,
we can't forget you so soon

Hello blogworld, it's been more than a minute. There have been earthquakes and tsunamis, bombings and gunshots, civil unrests and huge protests... killings and trials, rapes and trials......
Lots of frowns and high death toll numbers........ Other things have happened....... But there have been rains and sunshines, smiles and laughter, hugs and kisses, fun and adventures, good times and seriously good times........ Ninety days, the first quarter of 2011is ending, may we pray the next 91 days hold no sorrow for the righteous? and for the wicked........?

Elections are coming up in Nigeria, will you be voting? (as long as you are registered and will be in Nigeria then).
I have only done a bit to help in spreading the 'need to vote' please do your large bit to vote for the right people or the people closer to 'the right' lol!
Support 1goal, be willing to help get younger children learning how to read - their local languages and also universal language(s)- pass down books, give your 'spare time' and resources as well.

torres moved to chelsea, big deal! he's totally free to move he didn't sign all his playing days to liverpool jo.... :D, i like Adebayor (as a player) i'm never bothered when people speak. they haven't been in his 'boots' before and then that's football and then some
my footie club still tops the league table haha!

Dear Black Berry,
seems no one has still bothered to 'check on the girl complaining about the PING'. It's 2011 and well i am still here, irritated by those red words. So why can't BBM be upgraded? why can't 'Effective use of the PING' be published? why should people 'PING' to say hi? Mute the PING' so no one's PINGing me to say HI.*eyes rolling*
Why PING me to say HI? geez!!! if you PING to say hi... you are very wrong... go straight to the point.
This is a case of the PING gone bad ... well technically the Task of the PING not being fully grasped.

Yours BBly,

the flygirl

one day

2011-01-26T16:29:00.003+01:00

one day i will grow in love
yes in love with
a real man
a virtual man
a blogger
a contact
a follower
and not a facebook friend
and any other that technology may also bring
they all will be different
their posts will be different as well

lol.......

sometimes...

2011-01-23T21:23:00.000+01:00

ever watched chip n dale rescue rangers? lurved it when i was much younger...
got the title from the intro song

so initially i was going to blog about my friday afternoon, more like rant and all but thankfully twas under control and i got to learn psalm 139:14 and psalm 34: 13

got my blogging mojo back... sorta...

so instead of the bad rant stuff, a little about me
i am going back to my 'only like tall guys phase' in shorter words, any guy taller than me by more than 3 inches and counting
lmao, ok seriously, only tall guys henceforth... It was nice knowing you all but naa this babe is going back 'tall' true talk! I'm not being a classic joke

Going to read the new Lee Child soon, thanks to my friend, who really just gives me books out of the blues *wide tooth grin*
been stocking up on my tintin collection too i am getting there. The new transformers
movie is going to be nice as well, all gadgetary - is there a word like that?

sometimes i am the regular girl
sometimes i am more than just that regular word
sometimes i act all tough, sometimes i become a super hero
sometimes i smile when the last thing i want to do is show my teeth
sometimes i cry even when it solves nothing
sometimes i jump sometimes i shrug sometimes i am elated
sometimes i get pissed off, a little ticked off
sometimes i am silent, the words never make it past my tongue
sometimes just sometimes
these things happen sometimes

the year i was 25

2010-12-31T22:13:00.006+01:00

i'm so sorry
i haven't been too busy
instead i have been to lazy... well to type
i have been watching movies, series etc, but to type err...

so 2010, is over just like that.
January to June, July to today
it has been what has been

i am grateful for life once again, 365 days or was this year a leap year?
it was the year i was 25...

the year i was 25, My grandpa has been dead for 2 years now
i wonder what it could have been if he was here...

the year i was 25, i stopped drinking coca cola
funny, now i am clean, trying hard to drink a lot of water now

the year i was 25, i really got depressed... like so depressed
thank God for Mercies, i am learning and i love learning

the year i was 25, i felt a lump :) twas in-growing-hairs, i heard a sound, twas the muscles in my right ear acting up...

the year i was 25, i lost my crown, my tooth, well now technically i chew with one side of my mouth...

the year i was 25, i travelled thru 5 cities in one night by bus... twas crazy and nice. Got on a wrong/right train too... i did a lot of travelling...

the year i was 25, i got a blackberry, abde and i haven't bought a phone card since March...

the year i was 25, i learnt a secret about my family, or was it not a secret... they don't know that i know what i know.... but i know ;)

the year i was 25, i got rejected from animation school and into art school... i've been working on my life drawings...

“Gratitude is a quality similar to electricity: it must be produced and discharged and used up in order to exist at all.”- William Faulkner

i may not know what 2011 h0lds in store for me
but i know that in 2011, i will not be eager to copy the behavior and customs of this world, but i will let God transform me into a new person each day, by changing the way i think. Then i will learn to know God’s will for me, which is good and pleasing and perfect. {pulled that out of romans 12:2 new living translation}

bring it on 2011.................................................................

the end... no really

2010-10-19T12:31:00.000+01:00

Not really the end
it isn't over
For 'Ally' sakes our friendship still stands
On the other side
Something good or something bad
back to this end... which isn't really the end
began with a move,a finger movement
Then a hand movement
Which graduated to the lips
And the wagging of the hips
Then slowly, the temporary parting
This end which isn't the end
For the story only just began

"something good or something bad"

This year, I am 25...

the middle

2010-10-18T15:00:00.000+01:00

The middle
Right at the core the attraction stayed
At first it was surface simple
May be suppressed for 'ally' sakes
For 'ally' sakes I tell you
But there was a leak
Little drops of water
A trickle- drip-drip-drip
Like an hour glass,one side labelled friendship
The other side 'something good' or 'something bad'
Becomes a choice...
It stayed,the attraction
It dripped into the other side

This year I was 25 it has been...

the start

2010-10-18T13:52:00.000+01:00

I have been growing
And I have been learning
But why are there always 'buts'
Sometimes I want to be super human
I keep striving more like,I keep trying even harder
Losing my strength, draining my power
Pushing out...
I get selfish, I really can't do it on my own
I know this, but why do I still struggle?
I release then hold back
Makes me a wretched human
Am i sucking at this thing
Lead me not into temptation
Deliver me from evil
For evil leaves on me scars
It wrinkles me leaving me shrivelled
Touch me and make me whole
'I release me'

This year I am 25 has been...

Nigeria at 50, Day 12: Something Green

2010-10-11T23:54:00.005+01:00

"Nigeria at 50, Day 11 – Baroque www.unorthodoxdecorum.blogspot.com
...there is a reason our flag colours have stayed simply as green and white

Green is life abundant, it is nature , it is cool and calming, it is a balance, it is harmony
Green is a 'green leaf'

White is clean, it is pure and encourages new beginnings, it is light and peace. White is sharp and stain free. White is healing.
White is a 'white lily'

And then green comes again, green means no matter how low we fall, we won't stay at the bottom. We will spring back up. It may not be as fast as you want it... but we won't remain so low.

Nigeria may be 'bad' by worldly standards, 'developing' by earthly standards, 'in debt' by financial standards, prone to 'power cuts' by electricity standards, 'highly polluted' by green-issues standard...
so many standards, so many check lists

however a huge number of the world's happiest people reside there and are her children
and this won't keep the nation down.... we won't be a forgotten Land, or a barren nation
we will continue in Hope and even when the answers to our prayers are coming forth
we will continue to strive to get better
and then move to the best and pitch our tents there

There has been a war, there has been fights, there has been blood shed, there has been strikes there has been hunger, deaths... I am thankful that the Nation is still in unity despite all these
true prayers concerning Nigeria will not go unanswered...

Living outside Nigeria these past two years has totally made me appreciative of even more things about our nation... There is also a reason why Nigeria is in that left corner of Africa.... but that is story for another day

Something green has given us one of the best nature views in the world...
something green has given us vegetables, corn, palm... and many more
how many countries can say that almost all it's states or provinces have a resource that is most beneficial to the world including human resources?
Something white should teach you not to rely on your oars
something white should teach you to be eager to do your best even if no one gives you credit now
Something green-white-green will keep us upholding Her Glory
"do your best - not good not better, and leave the rest"
your rest will be someone else's best

Listen to Dead presidents by Plumbline...

Ps: I am thankful daily, I am Nigerian, for the opportunity to eat pounded yam, and Ogbono soup, to eat roasted corn and roasted yam, to eat ube and garden egg stew, to learn in a Federal School, to ride an okada and take long walks... for the marching songs... I am grateful for everything that makes Nigeria Nigeria and makes me a nigerian

how could you...

2010-09-18T17:21:00.004+01:00

isn't it easy for people to live your life for you, they know what is good for you they know what is bad for you all the while neglecting what is wrong with them.
If whatever is wrong with slaps them in the face they won't even know because they are too busy telling you how you don't do this and you don't do that
funny thing is they keep heaping their own faults on their shoulders and they are stooping over from the weight.
when they are totally bent, will it be ok for me to laugh at them, i wonder...

do many people believe in the god religion? Do they practise what they preach?

i want to shout out it is my life, we are all individuals if we needed to share how to live then 'individual' won't be a word we know. let me learn, let me make mistakes but don't try to live for me what you are not making much of a good job doing... or what you are struggling to keep up with

Silence doesn't make a man fool, even a fool seems wise when he keeps quiet
i better be the quiet fool at this point. here's from my fav 'quoters'

"Don't find fault. Find a remedy" - Henry Ford

"what you do speaks so loud that i cannot hear what you say" - Ralph Waldo Emerson

and then again may be i am just a sad and bitter...

Songs on my playlist... haven't done this is a long while
Laiye – DjKlem, Iye
Living Dafur- Matafix (doubt that song will leave my playlist)
in my system – Tinchy... if one day tinchy and i become friends i'll be the protective big sister, i don't even know him now and i am so proud of him.
I like that tune professor green did with lily allen it is catchy

eyes rolling

2010-09-11T10:39:00.002+01:00

geez the media is such a wicked tool, avenue whatever (let their lives be their lives jo, no i haven't read any details newspaper, internet nada! because it really doesn't concern me. I am not married to them gosh! neither is the media trying to tear them up)
i'm really miffed on the whole Coleen-Rooney thing. why are they always out to tear down...ish! and yes because i am a Man united supporter
i hope they work above the media, a lot of people have done it,Becks and Posh did,the Clintons did as well
and i hope her 12 year old sister recovers,a stroke is a terrible blow

jus ranting...

2010-09-11T09:43:00.001+01:00

Being a christian needs divine help. Funny I say that? A lot of people know what the bible says, christians and non christians. It is easy for other people - christians and non christians to expect you to act one way while they can't even imagine act in such ways themselves. What I mean is this,normally in life, it is easy for people to point fingers at you especially where you make a mistake, and they almost act like they are above these mistakes well till they fall. 'most times when they fall they have no buffer'. Ok where am I going with this yarns? 2 things
1. Attitude
2. Trust

Attitude
I am a christian...hence my opening paragraph (I have only always been a christian,pardon me if you have a different opinion). I read the bible and I learn a lot from the book of Proverbs. To me it's an everyday practical life sort of book. We are all individuals hence a mind of our own, the opportunity to choose--- what we want, what we don't want. This I think affects our attitudes in different situations and to different situations. I have learnt to be gentle... It isn't something you learn in one day or you learn suddenly because people call you christian. There other people non christians who are as gentle as doves and then there are 'christians' who are worse than the opposite of gentle. All I am saying is so many times we will avoid negative situations if we only took a bit longer to be gentle. He stepped me, he didn't do it on purpose but he did, then he apologised. All I need to do is smile and say thank you. Yes I am in pain...it will pass! I don't know his situation he doesn't know mine, his could be worse or mine could be worse but he has said sorry, many times sorry is even more than enough

2. Trust. Stumbled on this and I thought to share Jeremiah 17:5 (The Message)
"Cursed is the strong one
   who depends on mere humans,
Who thinks he can make it on muscle alone
   and sets God aside as dead weight.
He's like a tumbleweed on the prairie,
   out of touch with the good earth.
He lives rootless and aimless
   in a land where nothing grows.

This caused me to put on my thinking cap. It is so human to trust in humans.
As babies we were carried- we trusted we won't be dropped, while growing, we our parents to provide things we need... In some societies there's trust in the government. As adults we learn to trust in the 'going concern'. Where this trust is lacking there is bitterness.
Many times the so called advice and admonition of those around a man only make such man regress.
Don't confuse timidity with trust

Here I am... Just ranting my views... I wish people won't think themselves more highly than they ought to (myself included)
...'trust' me the world we live in will be a whole lot different

hi...

Yesterday I lost a reason
I lost any passion I may have had
even if the passion was assumed
this morning I am struggling
I am struggling to live
Like a child trying to get up and crawl
I am struggling to live
like a person being drowned
I am struggling to live
I am trying to get up on my feet
I am struggling to live
like a fish out of water
I wiggle and shake
a new journey I must take
new dedication, a change it will be
am I brave?
I struggle to live
as I gasp for breath

SA 2010 ends

2010-07-11T22:36:00.003+01:00

After one month, our much loved game comes to an end {well...there's premiership, la Liga, FA cup, Coca cola something :) etc}

It has been trying, fun, screams, smiles, cries, mixed emotions too
AND Spain have been crowned the World Cup Champs!!!

After Brazil got booted out no thanks to the Bad mood they were in,
{deflection: i am pretty much sure they all were in a bad mood before that game with the Dutch. Watch the match again and see for yourselves}

i couldn't imagine Spain Losing as well. No didn't want Argentina to win...too arrogant...not Uruguay, i think they robbed Ghana in broad day light ;-p, not Germany, no reason JUST not Germany #endofdiscussion and so not the Dutch ---> Brazil lost to them, they already had bragging rights in that aspect

SA 2010 The Spanish have their name under the World Cup---> Winners 2010
Brazil 2014 Hosted by Brazil, won by the Host ;)

Ps: i don't get paid for liking a good game of football,you don't have to watch it either :-)

sho weytin concern jabulani wit sea weed?

Dear Black Berry,
seems no one has bothered to 'check on the girl complaining about the PING'.
Well i am still here, trying my best not to puke when i see those red words. Even the new ubertwitter has a mute (many thanks to every twitter friend, tho i haven't installed it) button...So why can't BBM be upgraded? 'Mute the PING' so no one's PINGing me to say HI.*eyes rolling*
Why PING me to say HI? geez!!!
This is a case of the PING gone bad ... well technically the Task of the PING not being fully grasped.

Yours BBly,

ps: has anyone been reading the memoirs of a slu...shhkid? not for the weak and faint hearted but good for jokes and laughter

Dear Black Berry...

2010-07-02T18:37:00.005+01:00

Brazil lost .... i was so thrilled about typing this post long before the match began... however...
the world cup has been fun, but i have lost the will power to type...
so i'll rant to Black Berry instead

Dear Black Berry,
I plan on being a pest/bug/annoying customer until you respond to my plea.
I waited long yes very long to get a White Berry and the wait was hard but good. My White Berry hereafter known as abde has been good apart from the normal Berry wahala (you know these wahala). I like, i am not complaining. BBM is a good idea, my letter is not to praise BBM however. I wish to express the uselessness of that RED thing called the 'PING'.
Please disable it completely and I promise never, i mean never, to speak ill of BB.
The BB manual doesn't come with a section that describes the 'PING' so why o why do we have to have it? Can't it be a thing of choice? Since i have turned of the 'vibrate when Pinged' why can't i completely get rid of the PING? So many BB users need 'PING for Dummies'...that isn't the point i am making here however...
Please 'enable users' to 'disable Pingers'... Users like me that is.

Yours BBly,
the flygirl

ps: off to watch Uruguay and Ghana's footie match

After Abuja, Nigerian youth march in Lagos April 13...enough is enough

2010-04-25T08:15:00.001+01:00

"After Abuja, Nigerian youth march in Lagos April 13″

This note was typed by Red Strat for guests of The Future Awards Pre-Awards Conference

After a massively successful rally at the National Assembly in Abuja on March 16 that continues to be talked about weeks after, young Nigerians under the aegis of the ENOUGHISENOUGH (EiE) Nigeria coalition have announced a Lagos rally, which will hold at the Governor’s Office in Alausa on Tuesday April 13, 2010.

The protesters will gather at the Archbishop Vining Memorial Anglican Church car park that morning at 11am, and march to Alausa. “The governor’s office has already been notified about this as well as the authorities of the Nigerian police force,” said Adebola Williams, who is one of the rally’s coordinators.

ENOUGHISENOUGH Nigeria, the coalition of change-seeking youth leaders and young professionals, entrepreneurs, artists, celebrities, activists and students from across the country, will march to the Lagos State Governor’s Office where they will present 4 Key Demands to the Lagos State Governor, Babatunde Fashola, for onward passage to the National Council of State and the Governors’ Forum.

“The Lagos leg of the ENOUGHISENOUGH Nigeria protests is coming a month after the historic protest rally of Tuesday the 16th of March 2010, that saw hundreds of young people engage in a standoff with armed policemen deployed by the authorities of the National Assembly in Abuja to prevent them from gaining access to the leadership of the Assembly,” said ‘Gbenga Sesan, ED of Paradigm Initiative Nigeria, who is also one of the coordinators. “That rally made the headlines on print and electronic national media and was covered by leading international news organizations, including the CNN and AFP, and we are not about to stop.”

Joining the young people at the Abuja rally was a slew of prominent Nigerians including Omotola Jalade-Ekeinde, Stella Damascus, Omawumi Megbele, Peace Fiberesima, Charly Boy, the Rooftop MCs, amongst others.

“Some people have asked why are we marching in Lagos and we say why not? The move for change by young people across the country doesn’t end in Abuja,” said Stella Damascus, one of the leaders of the movement. “Governor Fashola might be doing well, but this is beyond him; this is about a system and this is about making a statement. We are not just going there to complain. We are going to send a strong message through him and through the media that in 2011, we are mobilising millions of young people to register, to vote and to protect their votes. Because that really is the solution to most of our problems: If people have control over who is in power, those in power will begin to respond to the people’s needs and demands.”

Excerpts of the demand for the Lagos rally are:

(a) Electoral Reform: “We demand that the Uwais Panel Report on Electoral Reform be adopted as is, as they present the clearest path towards transparent and corruption-free elections.”

(b) Corruption: “There are littered across the country, corruption cases involving key ministries – from power to petroleum – parastatals and those held in cahoots with members of Corporate Nigeria. The government must show its seriousness in prosecuting these alleged corrupt practices and showing to Nigerians seriousness in solving the problem of graft.”

(c) Security: “We demand a complete overhaul of the country’s security apparatuses and that all the public officials who were responsible for the breakdown in Jos should be, as a matter of urgency, removed.”

(d) Electricity: “6,000 megawatts will not solve the electricity problems of Nigeria, but it’s a good start. Nigerians desperately and urgently need power for the industrial and production centres. We are extending our ultimatum to the federal government – until the end of April – for it to present this plan to the people. If not, we shall target the ministry of power specifically for protest. This promise is not to be taken lightly.”

“ENOUGHISENOUGH Nigeria also wishes to send out a clear message to all Nigerians, and especially those in the corridors of power, that its quest to effect transformation in Nigeria will not be restricted to rallies and public protests alone,” Audu Maikori, the CEO of Chocolate City, said about the strategy to be used by the coalition. “We have a unique opportunity to change Nigeria through the power of our numbers, resolve and collective anger in 2011. We will register enmasse, turn out to vote in our millions, post live updates (pictures, SMS, video, etc) from the voting centres, wait until the winner is announced and confirm that the results are accurate. This is the election in which young people will shock the status quo. Any politician who tries to rig the 2011 elections will be shocked. Enough is indeed enough.”

The organisations involved in this coalition include the Abira Foundation, Paradigm Initiative Nigeria, the Omotola Youth Empowerment Programme, The Future Project’s TakeAction arm, Chocolate City, EME Music, LightUpNigeria, Rise Networks, Gbagyichild Entertaiment, B.L.I.N.G, Avienti, Brand It Nigeria, amongst others. Information on its activities can be found on www.enoughisenoughnigeria.com.

g.a.l.t oh what a warm day it was

2010-04-18T22:50:00.002+01:00

*laughing out loud* living here make very interesting chapters in the story of my life. This sort of interesting is a whole load of different.
It's a good experience too i'm not complaining....i'm embracing and growing
Today was a warm day ... well since 2010 began. In lagos peeps have been complaining bout the heat and all.
Boy were the streets full of people......and barely dressed
but the thing that irked me the most were the FEET!
i felt like the Normanmeyers -- from Adamm's family -- only this time i was not obsessing over underwear, i was sad for the horrific display of feet.
Sad to say this- even in Lagos with all it's dirt and dust, ahn ahn so many feet are still cleaned out well

Oh people let us not get carried away. Let cater for our feet clean out toe nails properly, wash and scrub our feet, preserve our feet...er em
May our feet always carry us to places where Joy abounds and Happiness resides

ps: i think i have a new crush...more like 2...the old one is still there...geez i don't even know...may be i'm just not thinking about management accounting lol!

jus messin about with my newest best friend and decided it was high time to change my picture

g.a.l.t And Easter comes to an end

2010-04-14T22:47:00.005+01:00

image 1. the work station
2. the story of the statues
3. just liked the look of the building
4. some statues at the Liverpool lime street station

so i had the huge post all typed out in my head about Easter and how much fun it was...my hands [well they do the actual typing] wasn't down with all that
I had an interesting Easter break
did a lot of travelling outside London for a change. Rather enjoyed the quiet slow paced lives of they that live in small towns with the central town hall kind of system
did a little reading or studying for my exams aaaagh!!! bawring! Spent my yesterday tho studying at a children's library. Silly boys and girls were giving one of the librians a tough time running here and there and calling the guy a monster....tsk tsk tsk...what goes around sure does come around
did a lot of meeting new people as well...i'm learning to accomodate people, still working on the hugging and embracing part :-)

Easter was a good time, i'm grateful to have been a part of Easter 2010

ps: i have admired Vincent van Gogh and his works for a long time coming. though he had a hard time dealing with his Bipolar he's given us a lot of art works to ponder on...and like my twin will say "an artist is someone who produces things people don't need to hav but that he-for some reason-thinks it would b a good idea to giv them"....andy warhol!!
don't hate the artist, appreciate and thank God daily for the artist. talent has its weight

g.a.l.t oh! what a day!

2010-04-02T13:44:00.003+01:00

*oH! what a day........ sing it to the tune of that song Oh what a nite....released in 1956 and re-released in 1969 (i *bing*ed it and wikipedia told me so,hence i can tell you) hey i'm still smart oh!
*oH what a day
apart from the title the lyrics of my own adaptation to the song can't really be likened. Anyway...
started my day as a normal thursday. I edit a Bulletin so i needed to finish up and print out...i just took my time and before i knew it, 2pm was way gone
in otherwards going to the library had been rubbed off my to do list.
off loaded my library ensemble... and started out to
1. pick up a pair of shoes at holloway road 2 bus trips away, not particularly far
2. buy palm oil cos i really wanted to eat ogbono(the only soup i can actually make)

so who sent me message, you can ask in nigerian grammar

got on the first bus, and there was this adorable "two-toothed" baby who kept smiling at me...aaaw cute...anyway two stops away some cheeky school boy gets on it {his hair style gave him the cheeky look to me). 'Was seating in the priority seat area so i decided to head on back to the regular seat side of the bus...to cut my story short the boy had been drinking and he puked on the bus lucky me, there was a guy and between 'the stuff' and me
i wasn't impressed got to camden and the driver says everyone should get off just because aaaaagh!!! fresh air's better than the stench
i could wait for the second bus there so i did. Got on it, got my shoes and hopped on the next one going back to camden. A very full bendy bus. However i wasn't going to wait in the rain and the cold, posing and ish. Get on the bus and there's the very unhappy babe talking out so loud...who really wants to hear her conversation with her friend as such... PEOPLE sheesh!
she's talking about stabbings and victoria st. and sons and mothers drat!
all this while i'm standing near the door lack of having no available sit. A guy goes out of the bus so there's a free seat....friend of loud babe hobbles over to seat on this empty sit and loud babe says to me excuse me...i'm about to move and she says to me move or i'll push you if don't
bing!...i'm about to roll my eyes and look...Prov. 16:23 comes into my head
later some other lady about to get off the bus says to the loud babe excuse me and she's like why did you push me...?can't some people be polite...yada yada...
i could only shake my head for the woebegone loud babe...
and that was how i wasn't a victim of bable and maddness Lord have Mercy
got off the bus and took another to camden...then one to kilburn...there was a very drunk guy with even mucus on his beard...then one for kilburn high road...don't count the number of buses anymore...lol bus ninja...
anyway i get on the one for Kilburn high road to go and get my palm oil...and i for some strange reason i stayed down by the stairs...then i decide to go up, lo and behold there's a fight downstairs....WOMEN!....one says shut up, the other says no you shut up...can't someone just be civil no matter

Ended the day watching the Liverpool match eating my ogbono soup
*oH! what a day...

ps:the dude who served me at iceland was so forgetful but he has one of the cutest hair cuts i have ever come across

girl about london town - me and my very bitter stimulant

Flash forward is back on tv...so i didn't get enough sleep last night.
Got to class this morning and before our short 10mins break i was dosing- #not kosher
so i decided to get myself cappucino (which really doesn't go down well with my system)
off i went to a McDees i thought i knew for efficient service (one bad day sure does hurt) today was one of those not so efficient service days
placed my order and i was told i'll have to wait 5mins...i should have just turned back to the door and left the eatery...instead i waited 15mins and after the wrong cup (i was actually given tea)another 3 mins before the warm cappucino was placed in my hands
after downing the very bitter drink (you can say 'we know the regulars and the in&outs'; i didn't take any sugar on my way out, was late for class and i didn't realise all this till i sat back in class) omg i felt hand-less
my hands just got funny and they were funny all thru the day (in class that is)
go on ask me 'what were you thinking?'
i literally had to speak with my hands each time i had to write...please co-operate with me lol! they were cold and shake-y.
Forthwith i shall stick to hot chocolate and coca cola if i really have to be awake.

so an interesting thing happened during my commute back home,there i was standing at the bus stop when a bus pulls up. I move away cos i wasn't planning on get on that bus besides i didn't want to be tossed about by people getting unto the bus. They all get in the driver shuts the door and pulls up properly in front of me nodds his head, smiles and beckons like 'do you want to come in?' I smile back and shake my head like 'no'...'Ok what was that?' was the next thing on my mind.

ps: i think the coffee's still at work...i can't seem to find sleep now and i've got class tomorrow. drat! i can't mess up by sleeping in class

2010-03-20T23:08:00.007+01:00

PC as in party chronicles

when the british people say PC in their tv series it jus sounds...

quick one: G.A.L.T is just me messing about and making my day sound more fun...

off i went to westfield mall this morning ... and not exactly to shop...
was still bent on getting something extra for my cousin gosh! it's so hard picking up stuff for kids mehn! henceforth i shall stick to giving out giftcards

the silly £4.99 brolly i picked up at sainsbury yesterday was just a mess up! i should have started a trust fund towards getting the 44quid one,put in the 4.99 as the foundation money and used a free newspaper...long and short of the story that brolly is now ancient history

hopped on a bus and 2 stops afterwards we were politely asked to get off the bus cause the wheelchair bridge thing won't work i.e go back in after it was let out for two ladies...can't let the driver pull a Messala on the town roads (from the ben hur movie; you know the guy whose chariot had the knives)

finally got to the venue of the party and had a great time...my high light of the day which still stuns me...
the two guys in the picture were the children's entertainment pair
...the taller of the two guys did some ballon trick and stuffed a long ballon down his throat...was tweh stunned to take any pictures *smh for m'self

picture 2: No i wasn't tryin the balloon swallowing trick. I was tryin to mould something out of the balloon instead i got the whale look alike

ps: those entertainment guys were blonde...dunno why but these days my camera loves playing tricks on me

new muse - girl about london town

the city of Londsville - said with the narrator of power puff girls' accent

sunny start to this morning alas i was wet befor 11 am
took a trip to northwards, to woodgreen mall, wanted to get my brother a pair of shorts from a specific shop hmmmm if only i had stayed west...
the shop was just one king ... awuf they say dey run bele
well i had bus pass and freely donated the hours to shopping...eventually i got these infamous pair of shorts + 1 from another shop
afterwards, still in the same mall, i started my search for my cousin's birthday present; he just turned one and i thought to get him shoes
i didn't really know it's a big deal getting children shoes especially 12months-18. It took me 4 shops and another 2 hours bus ride to get the right ones plus asking a shopping mother for the right size...i no get shame na...can't blame me i no get pikin'
Met an anime crazy guy who designs greeting cards today. Such an exciting kinda fellow he was so happy talking about anime, naruto and saske uchiha. I was as well. the dude toatlly blanked up his customers anf yarned with me. Now that's what i call customer care of like minds' *i see you smiling com'n don't stifle the laughter lol!
the guy even told me about anime fest at the excel centre...would love to go...
Just before i retired to a very messy sub of the day and then the Library(where nothing interesting happens these days) i went in search of my perfect umbrella or as the british say "brolly"
I found it, but the price chased me out of the shop in less than record time.
shop service was good and the shop had this old pleasant miffiness about it...meant to be an old 1830 place on the way to holborn. this item that keeps the rain and sun away was made by the people who invented the first foldable brollies.
Now i'm saving to buy an umbrella...it's a big investment. I plan on spending over 40quid on a brolly...my grandchildren must meet this brolly
spent the rest of the day learning about pricing decisions...i wonder who developed the pricing model of those umbrellas tho
ps:there had better be 2 years guaranty on the brolly + insurance

this day at a.b.j march 16. enough is enough

Jeremiah 17:9 (English Standard Version) The Holy Bible

The heart is deceitful above all things,
and desperately sick;
who can understand it?

Proverbs 29:4 (New International Version) The Holy Bible
By justice a king gives a country stability, but one who is greedy for bribes tears it down

Enough is Enough...
Is it fair that leaders let the people suffer.
People who also have blood flowing in their veins
Whose hearts beat each moment, just to keep them alive

who can understand the heart, Jeremiah asks
who can understand a man who sees another in need and feels nothing
empathy, sympathy instead apathy

how desperately sick are the hearts of those that lead the nation
yes desperately sick!
you ask me 'who gives you right to say such...things?'
the things i've experienced, seen and hear about
the things we've experienced, seen and hear about

you can't justify your words, flygirl...

but how long would it take for one third of our roads to be made good
how long must we wait...my life time? and more?
it is not so hard, for small countries which don't have as much natural resources
as we do, to have stable electricity
but for our large country...

and oh! yes school
every child has a right to be educated
every child has a right to learn
every child has a right to hope to have a great future
why do they rob us of these things and still walk head high in the open?

enough is enough
... because we say so
... because the time to take the upper hand is now
... because even though they say the world is not fair we have a right to the basic ameneties and good health

to the one who is greedy for bribes...

enough is enough

does the word piss-off have new meanings?

2010-03-07T01:37:00.003+01:00

and then i start calling 30 minutes on i'm still trying to speak with a human being...because i have been cut off...40minutes and over 13 broken calls later an automated voice says - they usually have a check between 12 and 2am or so and as such there may be technical difficulties
i finally speak with a quite unhelpful somebody... how very convinient of the bank and their online sheninigans
down right IRRITATING!!!!! and my eyes hurt from the unwarranted lack of sleep now and yes the fact that i am sad about the whole thing
so much for technology that smacks you in the face and causes more pain than if you were punched by a WWE wrestler

and that's a whooping 5 out of 7 points...
n/p - no point
vaseline got it right on this one seriously however 'look at the size of that thing' {borrowed line from Jurassic Park)

MAKE THE TUB BIG UNILEVER!! for the same price too

@Craig whitbread - it £3.32 at boots.....it's a price offer apparently it goes for like £4 something

thankfully my palms are not as sticky as yesterday

my new skin therapy sheer infusion 2

2010-02-26T23:37:00.003+01:00

so i jus got into the house
today was a really windy and cold day...

didn't feel fry at all day and no itch seriously no itch
most times i get on the bus and 'cause of the change in temperature cold to -kind -of warmer my skin starts to itch
i had none of that today

amazingly no dryness around my elbow either hmmm...

the only thing is my palms still felt sticky till about mid day so i washed off the vaseline and rubbed E45...felt better afterwards

@leggy i hate changing stuff as well...it's so easy to stick to some things
@Myne seems vaseline's making progress :)

my new skin therapy sheer infusion

2010-02-26T11:03:00.005+01:00

Yesterday walked into boots, to get my regular E45....no thanks to having 'Dry' Skin and spending extra on 'moisturising' my skin.
there was something going on at the said shop...some vaseline thingy...couldn't be bothered. took the escalators down stairs where there was less hype and more shopping...and saw the vaseline stand again so i walked to it and picked up one to get the 411. the nice attendant walks up to me and starts promoting the product...she sticks so thing on the back of my palm to check the moisture level of my skin...which i know is almost non existent but never the less...and she tells me 'oh as u see ur skin moisture is at the lowest level'
we get talking about 'Dry' Skin, E45 flaking and itching...and she convinces me to ditch my E45 and go for a nice smelling moisturiser...
hence this post...

Today i have applied the body lotion...
i haven't combined it with my usual pure shea butter i won't for the next 3 days ...isn't it usually said that if symptoms persist after 3 days contact your doctor...
So far points to note...
the tube is too small...E45 is large
it sure does smell nice;
my skin doesn't feel greasy BUT my palms feel sticky
rubbed a lot on my left thigh BUT it is still some what dry
My elbows feel fine no itch >> that's a plus
i'm still indoors so we'll see how things go by the end of today...

giving to charity

2010-02-11T01:39:00.005+01:00

back in secondary school we had this thing called charity walk. Basically each student who volunteers is given a form. The form is then signed by the different people-parents who give cash to the student or students. It used to be a very long walk but could be fun with friends and all the stuff you get to buy along the way...I always took time to get donations but when i was younger i didn't really understand the whole charity thing...all i knew was that i get the form, raise the cash and submit it to my teacher at the right time...thank God for growth...
so
took a long walk today...not particularly for charity or to shed m'bones. I just needed to get to oxford circus and i didn't want to take the bus...
it snowed but it was sunny and i was stuck with the large brolly i am caught carrying around these days...
before i got to my final 'oxford-circus' destination i was approached by three cancer research uk peeps...no i wasn't rude...my jaw however felt so frozen it wouldn't bulge lol! i had a rather 'frozen' time telling them i am also a research er *giver/supporter...
do you take time to give to charity?
sometimes the charity volunteers could be pesty, annoying, or even catch up with you at the wrong time...
or sometimes you find yourself wondering 'is this charity genuine?'
or 'now is not the right time' NOW is the time you have actually...use now effectively
there will always be excuses...so long as you are human...
however
Take time to give to charity...
Giving is true having. - Charles Spurgeon

take time to give to charity...money, time, energy, sacrifice...something that may feel so hard for you to part with but wonderful to whomever you choose to give it to

i'm a happy customer

2010-02-03T14:45:00.006+01:00

“When the customer comes first, the customer will last” - Robert Half

so i went off to barratts on my birthday...to buy a pair of boots...the mini ones i had before got wet due to the heavy snow from the 21st of december...they were fabric...
anyway i needed those pair of boots before i 'froze over' or lost my feet to 'frost bite' sha!
the first issue i had with them boots were the fact that they got wet in front so i went off to the shop...they offered me a new pair but i didn't want it...mind u i've got another pair of boots made with the same material and never got my feet wet
the second issue i noticed on monday the first of february: the left sole had broken into two unequal halves *throat clearing
now i was so unimpressed! gosh! if i bought them boots for less than the amount from some other 'less quality' product shop i'll won't be this bothered
so off i went to barratts this afternoon and asked nicely if other people had the same problem and if not, i will be obliged to shut my mouth and buy another pair of boots.
the manager was nice actually...2 things i probably over wore them...even tho i had not won them when the snow fell hard or the rains came pouring mercilessly...or other people who have bought them boots, live far away and can't be bothered to go back to the shop
anyway, the manager asked me to choose what i wanted and then return them faulty ones
pondered a while in the shop...i didn't really want anything there, them hush puppies i'ld have preferred had sold out in my size...
so i pondered, picked up, compared, put down... then finally decided to walk out of the shop with a 'zipless' pair of black leather ones.
the manager was nice serioulsy she should get a raise and applause and a holiday package paid by the company
off i went a happy customer...even tho i'll hav a tough time getting in and out of the shoes due to their 'ziplessness', and i'll never have a quiet move with them - the buckles just jingle with every step i take
i'm a happy customer!!

ps: i can't buh-lieve Alex Reid went on and married that babe....so not KOSHER!!!

truthfully i just realised i could upload 'fotos' directly from n.a.l.a to the flygirl's blog...
'so there's an app on n.a.l.a for that' ..... yea i wish it's more like a 'click'
saddly i'll rather use a computer otherwise i'll get an extra 98p or more added to my regular bill...

2010-01-22T16:29:00.002+01:00

so i really don't get 'the news' except i stumble on it and things like that
didn't know how bad the Jos and Haiti Situations were till i saw #tweetphotos
Oh dear!!! it's hurtful...

words can never fully express the heart's thoughts
neither can the mouth fully describe what the mind sees
i do hope there can be peace felt again
somewhere, somehow, some time very soon

give something...time, clothes, food...

sorting in sorting out

2009-12-19T22:28:00.003+01:00

hi there it has been a long while......
didn't mean to be gone for long
didn't even want to be gone for this bit....
but i had to be off
to sort myself
who cared and who didn't

i ponder superficially deeply,how many friends i have got
"here's the part you say you {flygirl} havn't been an even 'good' friend urself
but still
i try hard at it
supporting till i'm drained...that i can testify

i'm drained now
i'm sorting in and i'm sorting out
who's staying who's going
who's the new person i'm adding on
who's the old faithful i'll lay my head on

i'm half a 'jubilee' in a couple of days
i'm shedding off the unnecessary weight
there is no 'i' in TEAM
selfish i may sound, a nu year requires no excess baggage

i'm drained now
i have been cut off, i'm no dummy
i won't hang around till u think u want me
we can always pick up where we left off

i'm sorting in and i'm sorting out
there are no good byes
only i'll be backs
i've got 2010 in my fist, can't let u hold me down

...me fallin into like with "love"......i don't believe in all that 'being in love'....bs however its the concept of it in some books,i'v been reading secrets by Freya North, its somewhat overwhelming n ish...
not my type of book dunno why i even picked it from the shelf at the library....anyways the rest is history...me watching a play i was unsure of but i totally lurvd...

..........till i got irritated...then miffed...and it won't go away, even after speaking with my home girl........well i had to rant it off my chest...seemed it still stayed on...
i hate arguing unnecessarily and with very well dim people (here you are thinking who doesn't?)...i'm not a fan of 'raised voices' or totaly waste of time talking with people with twisted thought patterns...(now you are thinking jus' go to the point)
i called a man razz and uncouth...he does razz and uncouth things,he shows no respect to those around him and at times speaks because he has a mouth and can make sounds and yes he has some level of education...some... so i called him razz and next thing this dim dweeby guy starts telling me 'well the man has money, blah-de-blah....i can't believe i even stood there to listen....made sure i stressed the part of the man being razz and uncouth oh yea the dim dweeby guy couldn't pronounce "uncouth"...but still i was pissed with me...atleast i taught him a new word n its pronounciation
...the guy has always struck me as one of types of people with some form of complex,
he tries so hard to 'be'...er wot he even isn't...
yea he's also one of those nigerians that try so hard to speak in some 'ye-ye' accent
all because for this "JAND SOJOURN" he says "bruff" whatever that means and jus shells irrelevantly in his sentences...."there's me always wanting to shout "it's BRUV" geezer! pronounced as its spelt, nothing major ish!
so finally i've push away being crossed with me......lol can't be crossed with me for long all i've got is ... me!... geez i sound like KUZCO!!! that disney cartoon character guy...
i'm cool now,topping my music list this week is have a baby by me 50 Cents ft ne-yo and Chris Brown's transform you,Lil wayne sure does look silly...as usual...but still u've jus got to like him...hey Weazy, much lurv
i've still got my silly crush on Jason......he he....and still waitin....

ps:does any one out there watch flash forward!!!???

all new musings from the lib

2009-10-30T00:32:00.005+01:00

i really had to type this post tonight
firstly i'm totally gratefully to everyone who's takin off time to read my posts n leave comments too...i blame my lack of not havin my own system...i leave so little time to doin my blog rounds and when i'm done i hav not enuff time to type comments...
thank you ever so so much

i hav missed my library musings [Laughing out so Hard!!!...]
well today i had to post my latest muse

...so there i was, sitting on the very hard and annoying chair,studying the accounting treatment of Leases when some dude walks up to me...(i changed libraries since March or so)...
were are not allowed to talk out loud in the library ...so this guy whispers some stuff.
I don't hear what he says but he's holding up a white piece of paper with stuff written in green ink on it and indicatin that i read it
me: OOoo what's this? then i scheme thru
its a Note..."My mom says when i see beautiful women i should acknowledge..." didn't really read the rest
scrolled down to the last sentence which was "Are you goin to be in the Lib on saturday?"
then he signs off his 4 letter name with a mix of letters and numbers.
WHAT!!!!!!!!! dang!!! i can't even laff or smile or pick up my phone to send an sms to my friend
what in the world????? if any guy walked up to me and did that, when i was in SS3 i'll slap the guy.....or something......ok all i'm saying is that the last time anyone tried that i was SS1
what in the world????? i had to write this post in my little pink book twas jus hilarious....the last thing i expected today let alone happen to me...
anyways i answered the guy....... "i should be in the Library and if i am i may be sitting in the same place...dunno there's still friday to think about
so i had a good laff when he turned his back, i also decided the boy went to an all boys secondary school........forgive me but i'm still against single sex schools.....these are the kinds of things that happen honestly
fine i kno i can pass for a little girl who's just starting 6th form but still ahn ahn.......O gini? the guy's got jokes mehn!!
walked into any office today and two guys even started arguing about my clothe size.....0, 4 or 6
i wonder how it take concern them sef?
come saturday i'll hard another post up this spot!!!
i have a new crush.........................Jason Derulo omg!!! i kno videos involve a lot of make up and editing but hello!!! that dude is F>L>Y like that sheesh! i don't mind someone hooking me up {dang and i'm sayin this publicly} nothing do me jo!
Big up to tinchy,everyday i like to hear his voice...

some things

2009-10-25T13:07:00.004+01:00

i find it amazing that we can't particularly record every single day of our lives...record in PLAY BACK way

cept we get cameras and have tons and tons of stuff to watch.... kind of boring

.....when we want to remember stuff, we hav to look up in a 'silly' way lol! or hit our heads, or bang on anything we can immediately lay our hands on....table... most of which doesn't work we remember or we don't remember period. ha!

i find it amazing that no matter what, we...people...human beings...will always be liked and also 'not liked'... ok so our friends will like us blah-de-blah but definitely there will be people who won't like us let alone stand us

conversation

......."u actually know the girl/boy...gosh some very irritating chic/guy, i don't like her...

erm...well too bad this 'irritating' chic/guy has friends no matter what

i find it amazing that it is so hard to change the mindset of adults sometimes... they are so stuck in their ways it becomes obviously disgusting ish...sometimes their mind sets are in the most stupid things tho........not so sorry to say...

i find it amazing we meet other people thru friends and stuff and they remind us of other people too....

i find it amazing that like i drawing and music but my voice is soooooooooooo terrible when it has to err 'sing' lol!!!

gotta sign off the battery of this laptop is half dead and i'm off to load in or more crackers for the day.............i have a bad addiction on crackers is there some crackers anonymous group meeting i need help mates

there goes mister micheal

2009-06-26T00:19:00.004+01:00

really sad micheal jackson passed away at 2:26pm LA time......25 June 2009.......at 50years of age......
the skin issues, the surgeries et al didn't make him any more immortal......
he was born on august 29, 1958.......Gen 3:19.......and unto dust shalt thou return

so what did i like about micheal.....?
I liked his voice..... he never spoke with a raised voice always quite and subtle
lovely guy too, great talent and all
but lovely guy the press would always be nasty...

my heart goes out to his mother most especially, she'll be heartbroken and surely devastated
i do hope she gets all the strength she needs
i hope Latoya gets strong too, she ran into the hospital with so much pain and tears
i hope janet gets strong too she really adored her brother
i hope his children don't feel left out and i do hope they get comfort they need
i hope his family get even more united

i was savin for a ticket for his summer tour...............well HMV will up the prices of his albums so i better shift focus

good bye mister micheal, we'll remember ur subtle voice in our own life times too
good night mister micheal rest in peace now....

i hav also been watchin Big Brother.........the past week had a 'physically' bigger girl being threatened by a 'very' small lady...........till the PBG gave some lame excuse and left the house.......total waste of space PBG if she didn't plan to stay till she got evicted or whatever then she should hav turned down the offer before enterin the house jo.............some claim to fame!?!?!?
i'm so sure it wouldn't work...............she'll soooooo be history in a couple of months he-he!!!

random thots..........LWKM, LWKMD, LWKMFH!!!!!!! these internet slangs that amaze me...
a friend had a status up recently and one of the comments left was LWKM!!!!
and i spent about ten minutes wondering what in the world can the mumbled up letters mean
so i decided to google it.........Laugh Wanna Kill Me!!!!
this crossed my mind- *oh my goodness!!!!* i was so stunned, who thot of that???
LOL!!! is quite the familiar phrase besides its just 3 letters of expressing the feeling
interesting things.....

i want to go off to ireland.....................so i can officially hav use the word eejit in a land that came up with the word.......
finished tara road this week.........a book by maeve binchy.........awesome a must read!!

i hav finally understood the craze for the movie Mamma Mia! i luv that movie!!!

this morning i dragged myself out of the house and to a church i had been to 3ce and hadn't been to in a while, besides i was invited and it would be more hardwork for me to think of an excuse for not showing up than for me to walk there so i went...
and by the end of the morning i found myself eating and chattin with 3 amusing strangers and a new friend...............i hav been eagerly waiting for a sponateous act to overwhelm me!
i had brunch....... good bread, rye crackers n stilton at The Marriot on Park Lane........and that doesn't happen to a regular flygirl like me! i didn't have to pay a penny or more!!and there i was wondering why i had to leave my house, see other people and laugh with them while wondering genuinely why i was laughing in the first place ha!

here's to spontaneity and other 'smile-ables'

this coming week has to offer, inspite!

snap!!!
