2.I found out boyfriend was double dealing on the 14th.
3.I lost my grandpa on the 27th.

The good memories:

2.My best gal married her boyfriend of 12 years on the 25th.

On a lighter note,got this from a friend at work:

On a lighter note.......Hmm suggestions plsssssssAn eighteen-year-old girl tells her Mom that she has missed her period fortwo months. Very worried, the mother goes to the drugstore and buys apregnancy kit.
The test result shows that the girl is pregnant. Shouting, cursing,crying, the mother says, "Who was the pig that did this to you? I want toknow!
The girl picks up the phone and makes a call.
Half an hour later aFerrari stops in front of their house; a mature and distinguished man withgray hair and impeccably dressed in a very expensive suit steps out of itand enters the house. He sits in the living room with the father, the motherand the girl, and tells them:"Good morning, your daughter has informed me of the problem.
However, Ican't marry her because of my personal family situation, but I'll takecharge.If a girl is born I will bequeath her 2 retail stores, a townhouse, a beachvilla and a $1,000,000 bank account. If a boy is born, my legacy will be acouple of factories and a $2,000,000 bank account.If it is twins, a factory and $1,000,000 each.

However, if there is amiscarriage, what do you suggest I do?" At this point, the father, who had remained silent, places a hand firmlyon the man's shoulder and tells him, "You'll sleep with her again".

And he died.....

He loved me,he loved his family,he loved his kids with passion,his grandkids with a greater passion but his time was up on Sunday the 27th of August 2006 at exactly 9am in the morning. He joined the saints triumphant.

I thank the Lord for he lived a good life. He was loved by all that knew him. I cried a lot cos he did not fufill his promise to me. He promised me last year december when i was in Nigeria that he will hand me over to my husband and ''warn'' him to treat me right just the way he treated his wife, my mother and my aunties. He said he couldnt wait to carry my kids(trust me to waste time). I cried when i remembered that the last time i saw him he was looking frail and old,but his humor was still intact and he said ''Temmy,hope you wont let me down a believer, and not a church goer so that when you are frail and old you will be as happy as i am right now''.

Grandpa, you were the best thing that happened to my existence. Thank you for loving us unconditionally. You left a legacy behind and we promise not to let you down.
I wont be able to give you a good bye kiss and hug like i usually do anytime we say bye bye grandpa.I just started a new job and i cant take any leave for now. Moreover it is your ''grandpa'' my boss told me,if only he knew how loving and kind you were. If only he knew better........

Grandpa,don't forget to tell grandma that we still miss her. Biodun and Dare that they will be forever loved.

Aawgh...now i am getting mushy and ....... sob sob.
Ok, grandpa J..... Rest in eternal bliss.

A quickie

Hallo peeps,new job has not given me chance to blog or browse other blogs o. I have got loads to learn within one week.Shey y'all kuku know i am a genius now,i promise not to disappoint you and my ogas.
Asides the wahala of a new job i am ace!

Hmmn Nneka says she wants to see the end of boyfi's case,well, nothing outta the ordinary for now.He doesn't know that i know what i know!
But well,lets get mushy mushy here........... He woke me up this morning at 2.45am.You know how angry you can get if a private number shows up on your mobile at that odd time of the morning. I picked up reluctantly,for all i know it could be my mama wanting to pray for me as usual.

Lo and behold,it was my baby i mean Ex.(i am so used to calling him baby).I digress.
Excerpts from early morning conversation:

Moi:(with a sleepy voice)Hello.
Him:Hello luv.
Moi:Woke up instantly(felt a rush of love)aawgh!
Him:I woke you up,i know i am sorry.
Moi:uhmph.It's alright.

5mins dead air............................

Moi:are u there?
Him:yeah
Moi:ok.

Him:U have not been talking to me.
Moi:Really, i didn't realize have been busy.
Him:You have been avoiding me u mean.
Moi:if u say so.(love is crazy,i was nearly crying now).
Him:why?
Moi:nothing,i said i have been busy.
Him:ok. I called this early cos i couldn't sleep.If i have annoyed you in any way,i am really sorry.
Moi:silence............
Him:I love you,sleep well.
Moi:Thanks.(No me too,awgh!)
Him: disconnected the call.
Moi:did not sleep till morning.

What do i do? A part of me is still crazily madly in love with him.Another part of me which i think is the most reasonable thinks,i should just let go. I am trying,really trying and trying hard.

Alright,i have taken 30mins outta office work hour to fill blog.E ma ko ba mi o.Lol.
Catchya l8r!

Busy Busy Day

I had a busy busy day. Two major interviews in 10 hours. Thank God for God.

Father Lord,let me get this job please. Especially now that I feel the world isn't fair(hee hee)have mercy upon your daughter.

Now I don't even know which one to choose.(you will think I have the job already).
I think I will go for highest bidder. The job specs is kinda stressful tho.
I studied Economics but I hate any aspect of finance.I am sure I need a calculator to sum 5 and 37. But because I need a change of wardrobe,now that I am back in the singles market.Sob Sob!!!. trust me, I am not crying.I am too numb to cry. I'd rather concentrate the energy I woulda used to cry on getting myself up the ladder of my career.

But if anybody knows what can be done to stop men from cheating,abeg no hestitate to blog about it o.
Some guys in our generation needs prayers! Serious one. I rest my case peeps.

The Other Lady

If you know her hmmn, u better warn her o!!!!!!!!!
Shey i have kuku been suspecting that boyfriend is up to no good. His birthday was 5 days ago.,since he is Nigeria,the best i could was to stay up and call him at midnite.

Oh well,i waited till midnite and i called. Guess what?????????????It was a lady that picked my boyfi's phone!!!!!!!!! At 12.01am? Who?

I decided not to say anything,truth is i was too shocked to talk.

Disconnected and called again,same voice.

Am i calling a wrong number?

Come to think of it this is the only number i can recite even if i was woken up at 3am in 1 second flat.

Shey u know in Nigeria we believe in doing things 3 times and then u give up abi? I gave it the 3rd trial and he picked up.

Wished him a happy birthday and i asked who picked his phone,he said ''my sister''. Silly me,i believed.

Well, that is because i know the sister lives about 5 minutes away from his own house and i know they are very close....................... excuses!

Last night,something told me to check boyfriend's yahoo mail box(I know it is bad,but i was following my instincts).
I didn't know the password o,but i guessed and i guessed right. After 5 years,don't u expect me to guess right? I got into the inbox and what will my beautiful eyes see...........

Loads of mails from a certain girl.

She sent a mail,right when i was on my spy job to thank my ''own'' boyfriend for the swell time she had in Nigeria. She said and i quote '' I pray that we can spend all your birthdays together forever. I love you''.

Yeepa!!! E gba mi ke.

Mo ti ri ire. (The yoruba girl in me bursts forth when i am pissed).

I haven't called him now cos i am perfecting my rambo skills.

1.what i did was absolute crap i.e checking his emails.
2. Telling his family and mine,they wont support me cos of the way i found out.
3.Something tells me it is just a clear vision for me to move on.
4.A part of me is wondering where am i going to start from.

I am too sure my parents will say''shebi we told you to come back home''.
That my playboy brother is sure going to say'' do you think it is easy for a man to have his girlfriend miles away''.
My too serious sister: ''serves you right, i told you that your boyfriend gives me the creep''.

oh o,that is why he has refused to propose abi,let him tell me to my face that there is one silly girl somewhere......
I just paid for my tickets to Nigeria a few minutes ago,(i thot i was broke)will keep y'all posted.

But incase you know her ,warn her and very well at that. She lives in New Orleans and her name is O.....
As for him,if you know him.....ehn.....pray i dont kill him before i post my next blog.

Pray for the killings to stop

What do people gain from making others cry,what? Mr Ayo Daramola, a gubernatorial candidate in Ekiti state was shot in the head this morning in his home! His kids are not even teenagers yet.

Why does this have to go on,why? why?

First casualty was Funso Williams, then I heard of another man(infact my friend's brother in-law) in Ibadan. He left his family in London to attend PDP meeting in Ibadan.He was brutally murdered in Oluyole Estate.

Please, stop this bloodshed.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought I was going to be able to blog about the 5 years thingy today ni . But I am just weak from inside,this trend of killing is getting out of hand now.

With things like these happening everyday, one cannot but wonder the essence of this world sef. Nothing,absolutely nothing.

To all my friends that are resting with the Lord
Olukayode Ojewuyi (he was shot by robbers in 2002)
Kehinde Fadeyi(he had a car accident on his way from NYSC camp).
Sade..cant remember her surname now but we did NYSC together in the Nigerian Immigration Office in Abuja. She lost her life after giving birth to twins sometimes last year.

To my brother,Abiodun...we lost you to sickle cell in 1994. I will never forget you.
May you all find rest with the Lord. In my own way,I loved you guys and I still love you and will never forget you.

To those heartless people,that got me mushy mushy today. May you know no peace,and sorrow will not cease in your homes! Christians are not meant to curse, I know, but I couldn't help it.

I have had a long day,this job hunt is not easy,thank God for great mercies.There is nothing like little mercies in UK or anywhere for that matter. Spoke with my papa today complaining about not getting a job and having gone for a zillion interviews.

Trust him never to disappoint:

Moi: Hello daddy, i am sorry i have not called you in a while.. I have been busy with job hunting...........

Dad: job hunting ke? What is wrong with your office.

Moi: sir,the company is making some departments redundant.

Dad: you see,you children of this generation will never learn. I have never looked for a job in my life. I don't understand the reason why you have to beg and grovel for a job!
You can do something different.Ise owo is very important! For instance u can go into farming. Fish farming is lucrative now in Nigeria.........

Moi: I couldn't interrupt,cos try interrupting popsie when he is talking about farming then here comes his wrath!

Alright, pop gave me 18 minutes lecture on what i need to do to become a successful business woman.

Not that i am not interested in business but how can i tell him that tho i studied economics i still don't have any flair for business!
All i want to do if i am not a high flying career woman is to sell lace fabrics in a big airconditioned shop in Abuja.

I hate Lagos,so that is def out of my options. He will skin me alive if i ever voice that out. When my sister ventured in photography,i can remember him saying i bought you that digital camera so can take our pictures at family parties/functions. That argument went on for days but the moment she was featured in the guardian Newspaper as one of the belles of our time,baba changed tune! That's my gal he beams! I went all the way to the US to get her a camera. Photography is good business. Yeah yeah.

Abi,make me sef risk am ni. I don tire jare. Or better still,maybe i should just pray and fast more. I mean,i need to get my boyfriend propose to me by the end of the year.( i know he wont see this post)That way i don't have to stress my self on where i want to actually live. UK, Nigeria, USA(out of it,they didn't give me ordinary tourism visa), Kenya, where ever as long there is internet there i am fine!

You see the issue of being single is part of the reason he wants me back in Nigeria. Story for another blog it shall be titled ''why has he refused to propose after 5 years''.
