Longest time...

Hey ppl, how is everyone doing on this beautiful, rainy day? I myself am doing just aiight, sorry I have been missing in action. Your gurl is been very busy with classes, plus work is killing my crazy yansh. So yesterday was my dearest grandpa's funeral(RIP) in 9ja. I called 9ja yesterday and was alomost crying, cos my family is having a blast. For ya'll my original 9ja folks, you know when someone old dies they have a big ass party and stuff, and my grandpa was REALLY old. The party they are having for this guy is outta this world, 3days of none stop celebration. I am seriously almost crying right now......(poor me)..lol..lol. Anyhoos, make I waka..I go come back later...take care guys..and I will crawl in bed and cry the remainder of the night......lol

Is it worth it?

Hey Ya'll, hope you guys are doing great. So as i was making my usual rounds through blogville and I came accross a new blog (My Own Thing). The guys had a post about his Dad and the dynamics of some naija dads, the post got me thinking of my own relationship with my dad. To be honest, I do not have a relationship with him , it sounds kinda sad, but that was what my dad chose at that time.
My dad left us when i was either 5 or 6, I still kinda remember some things about him like him yelling and getting mad for no apparent reason. Anyways he supposedly left us cos he and my Mum had an argument and my Mum refused apologise(how STUPID right?). After he left we did not hear from until i turned 16.
My Mum did an AMAZING job raising us all by herself. She made sure we did'nt lack anything, we all went to private schools, even in boarding school i had like 3sets of provisions(those that attended boarding school knows what i'm talking about) lol..lol. The only time i missed my dad was whenever we would have school functions that required us to invite our dads. Even then my Uncles would represent me, but it was not the same. I don't think i missed him as a person ..I just missed a relationship with him. I remember other kids saying crap about me not having a dad, even some adults saying shit like o it was my Mum's fault, she caused him to leave or that she was having an affair(dat one really bothered me alot)....yadi..yadi..yah
Fastforward years and years later...we got a call from my dad asking us how we were and wondering if we needed anything(shocker). My Mum told us it was OK to have a relationship with him but she did not want anything to do with him. I did not feel comfortable chatting with him, i remember the first time i saw him..it was the weirdest feeling ever, i could not even hug him or look into his eyes. The worst part of the meeting was that he did not even apologise for abandoning us.
Till this day, I don't think i have really forgiven him. we talk on the phone sometimes bit i don't want to let him in my life because i am afraid of him hurting me again. Do you guys think i'm being selfish? or just protective of my feeling? Is a relationship with him worth it?

LOST FRIEND

Hey Guys, hope ya'll are doing well? My weekend was nice, I went shopping(my fav thing to do) with my Aunt and my lil cousin.
I'm done with studying for now which feel great.
This whole economic meltdown is no joke oo...my friends that just graduated both in yankee and naija are having a hard time findind jobs. Those of us with jobs, abeg make una hold am tight oo.
Ok, so i got an email from a childhood friend about 2 weeks ago, I have not spoken to this guy for almost 15years. so when i found him on facebook i was stoked. So dude emailed asking for money. which kind wahala be dis? I personally think it's rude to just ask someone for money just like that, u know even asked whether i get job or get place to sleep at night. Seriously this guy is making so mad that i don't even want to look for my old lost friends ....Anyways sha i did not reply his email, he is been stalking me via facebook. Abeg make una see me see trouble oo.
So one of my favorite shows is on tonight(no 1 ladies detective agency) on HBO...WOOO....WOOO. If you guys are up to it please watch and i promise you won't be dissappointed. lol..lol.. see me plugging the show like they are paying me for it..lol
Im still trying to figure out how to post pictures on my blog..I hope ya'll have a wonderful week...

Ex Wahala

So before i go into my ex-drama i just wanted say this whole blogging thing is fun and your gurl is getting addicted. Just as i was addicted to Facebook, my Facebook addiction is now well under control, so instead of facebooking twice an hour now it once every hour(abi i no try?) i go answer myself...YankeeNaijaGurl u try no be small...Addiction no be beans or moi-moi.

This is kinda of hard to write, but i will go ahead anyways. When i was in 9ja i was with this really nice guy, lets call him Dapo. Dapo was very goodlooking(no bais), he was in Unilag while i was still in high school (i was the main chick in school, as in i was dating a tapping unilag boy. we lived on the same street, i knew his friends and all that jargons.....He was everything you would want in a guy at that age..funny..smart...yadi..yadi ya. Well, before we started dating i knew he was dating this really pretty gurl. If i remember correctly while he was still dating the chick he asked me out and stupid me said yes(Oh yes i had the biggest crush on him). Oh well...as things turned out the other gurl later got prego by some other guy(i was soo glad) lol..lol..So i became the iya ile not iya anymore. Fastforward to 2yrs later....so my mom decided i move to the USA, Mehn i was so dissapointed cos i did not want to leave my boyfie..sha before i moved here i promised him we were still gonna be together any which way...dude was devastated i was leaving...1st year i would call him everyday..2nd year i called every other day..3rd year every weekend..4th year Dapo moved to England so he called me almost everyday...sha..sha all that while i think i dated a couple guys but it was nothing serious...Dapo later told me he was dating some gurl but it was not serious... he say na me him wan marry...and yeye me i believed him...i started getting really jealous and my love for him started fading. After a while i met a guy..dat treated me like a princess...but my dilema now is that i dont love him as much as i love Dapo. So what is a gurl to do? I'm pretty sure Dapo won't treat me as nice as my current man is treating me...Should i give myself time and see if the love will develop? Please help. !
I hope ya'll have a wonderful week.

So overall my weekend was quite relaxing. I went to church(i told ya'll i was gonna go), it was great to just go listen to the word of God. I spent my afternoon on yaho0 messenger chatting with my lil sis and bro.
I mentioned in my previous post that my family is planning a big ass funeral for my grandpa. So they are expecting at least two thousand people in attendance excluding seventy two children and grandchildren...My grandpa try no be small. I dont think i know all my extended family. I sha hope say my children no go marry my cousin cousin children..dat would be wired. Anyhoos i have not seen the aso ebi they selected..it bera be nice. Talking about aso ebi I have like 5 aso ebi that i have not even sewned (what a waste of my moni) . I go buy aso ebi finish i no go get moni go the wedding.
I have friends getting married left and right. Make una see me trouble ooo...Ok there is this chick i know from a 9ja church i attend when they have special anniversery( for their chop-chop..God forgive me oo) As i was saying ja re..the chic is getting married and want me to be in her wedding pary. I thought the people in your wedding parry are either your friends, cousins and sisters. I am niether of those, she wants me to buy my outfit for the white wedding and also buy aso ebi.( see me see wahala oo) Because she see say i dey dress go their church she wan turn me to Bill Gate wife. I am suppose to call her soon to let her know my dress size so she could order the dresses.
I did watch my new favorite show The #1 Ladies Detective Agency...I wuv that show to pieces..Jill Scott and Anika Noni Rose(Dream girls) are both doing an amazing job especially with the whole bot.
Have you guys ever watched Ray Jays new show on VHI? Emmmmm...i dont even know what to say..dat boy is so annoying the show is the stupidest show ever just like Bret Micheals show on VHI.

My 2nd Entry

Hello my people, So this is my 2nd entry and so far it's going good. So work was good but as always long. Dont get me wrong it's not that i dont enjoy my work but some of my co-workers are nutjobs. In case you are wondering i am Allied staff in a clinic. Anyhoos, I'm kinda excited for the weekend...not because i have anything special planned but at least i can relax, sleep in a lil and just not worry about anything. Last week was insane...i had 2 papers due(Oh yea im getting my masters) and 2 exams...i cant tell you how relieved i am. My one exam was not too good sha...it was a finance exam and i hate anything finance...i was a science student in high school wetin concern me and finance? but oh well i sha did it and i'm anxiously waiting for my grades.
I'm sure you guys heard about Susan Boyle(British got talent), that lady can SYANG...this affirms my belief that dreams do come true. God, me i am dreaming o! lol..lol.
So last sunday was the first time i went to church this year(what a shame) I am not proud of it...an d i do not want to make excuses either. When i was younger i went to church every sunday plus bible studies sef on wednesdays...I actually feel bad now. God abeg 4give me oo! The reason i have'nt been going to church is that the man am with is not a strong christian(not an excuse) but if i want him to go to church with me he would. And i have'nt really found a church that im comfortable in. There is a feeling you get get when you attend a church you are comfortable in. God help me!
So tonight my baby is taking me out to eat at my favorite japanese resturant. OMG! I love Japanese food. So i better go get ready. So please let me know what to do to get motivated to go to church? Thanks guys ...
