HAPPY: on a shedule or not?

Image
  Happy Pill? In secondary school we all said life would be so much better when we get into the university. Life was probably at the highest peak for some of us (was it for me?), while for the rest of us it was a ‘please be over’ kind of thing. We most times convince ourselves that life will be better after we get that Bachelor Degree. Then we get pissed off at the government when our degree doesn’t fetch us that million naira job or that corner office. We convince ourselves that life would be so much better after marriage but we forget that marriage comes with its own set of problems. It comes with nagging, roaming eyes, mistrust, sexual problems and lets not forget in-laws (yep!). We say it would definitely get better once a mini us is running around the house (kaffy really?!),then we are frustrated that the kids aren’t growing as fast as you would want them to, we start to calculate how much we could have spent on buying that nice dress in the boutique or ord...

My No Cash involved birthday gift : My BESTIE

Image
Many friends have come and gone in my life, i don’t know how to stay in touch with friends but there is one friend that has been with me through the important times and the very stupid times. Going to the university, I didn’t really think about having friends because I know I don’t know how to keep them so I tend not to think of any serious friendship but apparently God had plans to throw a very silly girl my way. I met my best friend walking aimlessly around OGD hall.  The very first time I met her she had on a multicolored head tie, a yellow top and a jean skirt (as your personal fashion police, I am fining you in arrears) , I had to ask her about my other colleagues because I heard there was suppose to be a meeting , fortunately for me her boyfriend was in my department so she knew. Long story short we met again at block e( the venue of the meeting) we  exchanged  numbers and the rest is in my personal diary #Amebo.. I really haven’t done much for her in a whi...

The Bad Boy Allure ; the ride

Image
I have always wondered why I am so in love with Damon Salvatore, why Cristiano Ronaldo, Chris Brown, Drake* seem attractive to me  or why Catherine is so in love with Vincent Keller. Twenty four or vampire dairies would have nothing on 'why good girls love bad boys' if ever they decide to make a season film on that topic. I have always thought about it in the same category of ‘why men cheat’. There is just no reasonable reason. This is basically referring to all the John Mayer of the world (Jessica Simpson, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Jennifer Aniston, Taylor Swift, Minka Kelly, Katy Perry… you get the drift). Why the bad boys? I have always wondered why good girls can’t seem to stay away from bad boys, Not bad in a notorious way but bad in the sense that he's brash, cocky and he marches to the beat of his own drum( on his own time). He's on the edge, bordering on rude, being polite or caring and doesn't seem to give a damn about anyone but himself, he basicall...

#HappyBirthday; New age

Image
I can’t believe all my favorite musicians don’t have birthday tracks (Drakey!), Birthday sex by Jeremih seems very inappropriate so I would just manage Drake's second verse on TC and Katy Perry’s birthday track. Anyway, since it is my birthday today, I just really want to show #Gratitude, I am feeling extra grateful today. Ya Allah, Thank u! Thank u!! Thank u!!! Thank u for an additional year of life that u gave to me, I’m very grateful for all the things and people that have been coming my way Thank u for my family who loves me without condition, they have even accepted that I don’t understand the concept of ‘mobile’ phone Thank u for all of my friends, who understand and appreciate me even on my ‘shoko’ days, who have sincerely added to my values and who, because of them I have been pushing boundaries. Well, lets not forget the ones that do ‘yimu’ behind my back. Thank you for the friends that believe in me, thereby making me believe in myself. Thank you for the n...

Cheaters, Good girls and Karma....

Image
Karma; A good girl's bestie. The question ‘why men cheat’ has become boring because they say it is inbred, it is already in their genetic arrangement; very lame answer by the way. Cheating in the general sense is not the issue today (breath easy.. lool). I understand a man cheating on a not so good woman but what about the good ones, the ones that are a dime, the ride or die chick, why cheat on them ? Firstly I would never really understand the male species, at least when it comes to their libido.  A woman can be perfect with capital letter P , Beyoncé look alike , Alakija mind set, cooks like crazy  , very open minded in bed (she even does the Chinese handcuff style just for him ), faithful and yet, he would still do a full 360 and cheat on her with someone totally opposite of her every time. Why? I have an answer to that; it is just plain stupidity and sheer immaturity. A man cheating on a good girl is not a reflection on anything the girl is doing or not doing, a man ...

32 Rules We Probably Didn't Learn in School : An extract from Dumbing down our kids- Charles Sykes..

Image
You know how before you graduate we have all this expectations, we are like ‘ I am going to work in a big firm, Chevron, Shell and the likes, well it isn't always like that except your papa is Dangote or your mama is Alakija (Dj Exclusive, caps off!) . I am not saying we shouldn't have dreams, it is stupid and absurd telling someone their dreams aren't valid because God forbid they actually believe you, you aren't going to heaven !. My friend always put up this quote “Dream dreams that would blow your mental fuse”, Okay, calm down! I swear i love the quote, I just think it is not enough. I am not a pessimist,  actually  a very optimistic minded individual but I always say being realistic gives you a better view of things and an actual working mind. as opposed to having your heads in the cloud . I think year 2012 Bill Gates allegedly rendered a speech to an out going set in high school, he supposedly talked about 11 things we never actually learn in ...

GRATITUDE; the way to getting more magically.

Image
Whoever has will be given more, and he will have abundance. Whoever does not have, even what he has will be taken from him                                                                                                           Unknown My best quote for now That is a quote that has been around over the years, and what it is referring to is GRATITUDE (the state of being grateful, appreciation, thankful for the tings we have), it has been passed fro...

Real friends versus Social friends: The blurred lines..

Image
Shutterstock So I still have a lot of pending friend request on Facebook (and to think I have been on that site 4yrs and counting)  and as I was about to click ‘confirm’ I thought ‘ how many of my Facebook friends do I know or do I really even interact with and those that I interact with, how many of them do I regard as ‘’tube friends’ or ‘ Bra friends’. Let me explain, bra for us ladies are VERY important, they give our boobs support through out our life time, in our saggy period we look to them to make us look hot and they sometimes, infact every time raise our self esteem (you know what I am talking about) ,they kip our heads up. The tube function I think is to create support too, yes! But it is a temporary kind of support. Its function can not be compared to the bra. Back to friends, t here are different groups of "friends" that one can call friend (if you will) on social networks because the ‘Kaffy O and Philip O are now friends’ notification on the wall doesn’t...
