TAILOR - B WARE

My tailor has just upset me. Been looking forward to my co-workers wedding happening tomorrow, and been planning how for the first time i would wear a scarf (gele).




Sent the material to a tailor very far away from me, just to look "be spoke" but she has finished me. O my dayzzz if i had known i would have stuck to my local tailor near my house (we'd go back and forth 5 times and i will still look like a carpenter hammered the material together lol.) This woman made my dress so short its unbelivable and the material now she claims is finished.
Tiny dress with heels. Na wa ooo.



Shes gone to the market to buy tafeta watever so i guess i will look like patch patch work tomorrow,Seeing that the material is yellow, blue ad small pale purple, the scarf is pale purple and shes getting GOLD material. ie if she can even deliver b4 i go home at 6.30pm. Am tired.I guess i might just wear another number or 4get the wedding. THIS COULD BE A SIGN! After wasting my money and time.



Anyway on a lighter and better note how are you guys. Whats planned for the weekend? Am also being a god mum on sunday, thats something am looking forward too. My lovely angel god daughter will be three months on the day. Am thrilled. Yesterday I got her a tiny bikini that her mum will keep till shes able to play in water or swim. I will look for something appropriate and buy for sunday. I will make it a point of duty to visit her every month. Yeah now her mum has an excuse to see me in her house. Am sure its planned seeing i'm always home just chilling these dys.




Not much drama happening right now. Am excited for a certain somebody and thinking of her makes me very happy these days.

Alright folks have a good weekend.

Caught in the act

Ok so a certain madam (you know yourself) has found my blog. So no work ranting here because she is my colleague and team member!




Work's been going well peps, i think am fitting in well. I hear from the grape vine about office politics here though. You know me i dont excatly know these things. Am a small town girl not used to the Eko competition and all the hassle. So anyone with tips or advice can throw it.




DH and what i read from the internet says the trick is to just be yourself.



I decided to congratulate my darling Nyemoni, another wonderful addittion to her family. Will blog about intresting stuff hopefully soon.

The pursuit of happyness

This weekend i saw this lovely movie (the title of my post). The one Will Smith and his son stared in. The suffering in the movie was meant to be much and i kept thinking to myself, why wouldnt the father (Will Smith) just get a cleaning job or a job in Mcdonalds (its always easy and available). I kept shouting and getting angry that " a man's got to do what he's got to do". Things were so hard that the son's daycare taught him to spell Happiness as "happyness". They couldnt afford a proper day care or neighbourhood. To top it all up wife left. I didnt even blame her cos her husband frustrated her. He would never be there to look after the son so she can go do her 2nd job. And he wasn't bringing money home after depriving her of going out to work.i still think she should have stood by her man though cos if they were together for the 6 months the guy was an intern, things would have been easier.



Anyway there was a lesson in that movie for me. Perseverance, to know what you want, believe in it and pursue it with all you have. If that guy had done what the ordinary man would do, ie get a cleaning job or whatever just to go by. He probably would have gotten comfortable and limited himself.







In the end of the movie the guy became a stock broker, he went on to open his own business etc etc.


It is important for for us to hold on, even when it seems things arent going the way we hope. Sometimes i look back at myself just 3 years ago. With no place to call my own and a low down paying job. Fighting to go back to a country i loved and still love so much, Limiting myself and playing God. And i see how far i have come, i know God has always prepared a place for me, but i was too impatient to hold on.



The message is simple HOLD ON!
