I miss Summer..

~Because I’m already tired of wearing boots,booties and sneakers

~Because the sun rarely shines,and when it does,I jump and clap my hands like a kid who just got her favorite toy

~Because it’s no longer warm,I can no longer wear my tank tops or shorts and hang out with my friends at the water front

~Because dressing up is now a struggle: thermal wear,actual top/shirt,sweater or hoodie,stockings or tight before jeans,socks,gloves,scarf,veil or hat,boots,then jacket.In summer all I need is one or two items of clothing,accessories and I’m good

~Because Starbucks is now my friend,I hated Starbucks,now I’m addicted to their hot caramel hot choco,which I’m going to hate once it’s Summer again

~Because there isn’t much to do for fun anymore,and everyone is cold and wants to stay home

~Because I have the baddest flu and it’s not getting any better,my trash can is filled with tissues and I’m on my third box of kleenex

..I miss Summer

Ummi

I don't know where to begin this post from but I'll give it a try.Today is my sister's birthday,my sister from another mother,my friend,my partner-in-crime,my other half and my love,Ummi.We've been through a lot since we were 8 from fighting like Tom & Jerry to realizing we're sisters and appreciating each other.I love her to bits because she's someone I could ALWAYS count on,someone who is ALWAYS there to listen,ALWAYS making me laugh when I don't even wanna smile,someone who brings out the crazy and fun in me.She's really an amazing person who is rarely down or frowning.Ummi is someone who is always hyper,obsessing on fooine Indian guys and always dancing whether its from the kitchen to the room or on the dance floor.Sometimes I wonder how and why she rarely gets upset about anything,she just smiles and shrugs it off,I'm learning to become like her.She's just a wonderful person I'm glad to have in my life and call a sister and a friend.I can't imagine what life would be without you babes,I don't even want to imagine it.So on this day,your birthday,I pray that God gives you more happiness,success,joy,love and I hope that all your saved up wishes come true.I pray that we'll have more years together of fun,laughter,craziness and shenanigans.And I'll keep my promise on sending you on a trip to India to find you Mr.fine & romantic guy once I get rich,however if you happen to find one there and decide to stay,know that I'll come with my wheel barrow and ship you back to where ever I am! Love you Sis! X

Happy Birthday Phatee..and Usher

Phatee,I hope today brings you joy,happiness and lots of blessings.Hope today is the start of something new and good for you.I love you so much because you're awesome,different and most importantly,you're YOU! Don't ever stop being you,don't ever stop being awesome, and don't ever stop smiling! Happy Birthday again ;)

My Style

..The only reason why I'm blogging on this topic is cuz I'm too lazy to blog about the original topic I wanted to talk about.Blame it on my lazy butt..I can't be bothered to think and type,and the topic involves lots of thinking,reasoning and ohh..just remembered an essay I have to help my bro with..I should probably go work on that..Anyhoo..back to My Style ..
..I don't really have one..mostly I just wear whatever pleases me.I could dress in pink or like a diva today and then wear boyfriend jeans,a loose tee,hoodie and chucks the next day.I like casual alot..and then I love dressing up like it's my last day on earth! My style is hard to describe,well by me anyways..I can't stick to a particular style,color or type of clothing cuz I get bored easily..so I'm into everything..or rather,almost everything! Few pix of what I wear..starting with day time wears and then night time..Hope you likey :-)

 

• <-Shirt-dress with tights

• <-I love tees,all tight fitting tees ;) And I especially love Little Miss Tees,hoping to have a collection soon

 

• <- Some days I just wear anything that color coordinates,xcuse the brown bag

• <- I love headbands,so the only way to wear them together with my veil is to use hair pins and hold the sides of the veil to the hair bands..genius huh? I know! :P

• <- Ana Muslima :-)

• <-Love this shoes,pardon the “un-pedicured” feet,too busy enjoying summer to go sit my behind down for a pedi

• <- A top & vest can do the trick

 

• <-A blazer on days when vests won’t do the trick

 

Ayt..I’m outta here..be back soon..ex.oh

I know..I know..I've written about Love many times before,I just can't help it,blame my heart.And please,listen to me,Lol..For the first time in my life I'm experiencing a different kind of love,I can't explain,I can just tell.And it feels really really good.He's got me doing things I would never do,my heart skips a bit just by thinking about him *blush*..So I tried to sit down,think and analyze why this time is different from all the other times or why he is different from all the other guys but I didn't succeed.All I know is that he ALWAYS knows the right things to say or do.I never have to ask for anything because he gives me what I want and need.I don't have to do much because he understands that it's I and him in the relationship so it's both our responsibility to make it work..God knows I've always wanted this and finally..I found it & him *blush again*..Our relationship reminds me of Dawn and Que from Making the Band.

I'll explain why,Dawn is someone who has gone through a lot of hardship and heartache in her life,and she's had to put up with guys who didn't know how to be "the man" in their relationship,so basically she was the one who was always trying to make things work and make her man happy without getting much in return.Then she finally founds Que,or rather..Que finds her,sees the strength and beauty in her and takes it upon himself to be her Superman *cough*..The whole story is cheesy but beautiful,and I can relate to them.There's a video where Que does something nice for Dawn that it touches her heart and she confesses to him that she's never been that happy with a guy before because no guy has ever given or shown her that much love.

I understand why the little things her man does would make her smile,because it's what she wants and finally she has it.In the video there's where she says something about how women sometimes settle for less when they have the opportunity to get that guy or relationship/marriage they want.Every woman deserves to be treated right,well apart from the evil ones but you get what I mean.I really don't like settling for second and like I always say,no matter how much I love you if you're not giving me your all or treating me like I deserve to be treated then I'm gonna drop you like its hot and keep looking for what I want.

Erm..

..So the last time I blogged was in July? Damn..blame it on way too many things happening and way too little time to blog about them..

Summer is going by so fast it's not even funny,I wish it would stay for a few more months because this year I really don't feel like facing Winter at all. But I'm glad I had lotsa beautiful days of sunshine,love and fun with friends and family..Speaking of family,my fam came from home to spend the rest of Summer with me.I was thrilled,didn't realize how much I missed them till I spotted them in the airport *tear*..The plan was to spend as much time as I could with them because I had a major surgery coming up.So we went to the theme parks,boat riding,dinner at Chinese and shopping..there's no Summer vacation without shopping.And on days when we didn't go out or nights when we couldn't sleep,we played Nintendo Wii in the sitting room.I especially enjoyed bonding with my teenage lil sis,she's so excited about growing up and she loves responsibilities.

My two youngest siblings were always dragging me to the parks so they could get on the swings..Ok I admit I love swings too and I don't mind taking them everyday,the problem was when it was time to leave,they cried all the way home,I guess we're all suckers for swings..And before I forget,my 2 year old brother loooooves lipgloss! Don't ask me why or how but he does.First time I noticed was when he walked into the sitting room and I asked,"Ruffy what's that shiny thing on your lips?"..And he responded with "lipglossh"..I couldn't help but laugh,I tried to explain to him that boys don't wear lipgloss but homeboy wouldn't listen,it got to a point where I had to start hiding my lipgloss because they were always in his pockets and he wouldn't let me or anyone have them.

August 17 came and I had to go into surgery so it was bye-bye chilling and hello another battle to fight.Part of me was scared but the other part was calm because I knew I had done this too many times before and the only choice I had was to survive,so I did ;)..I got discharged 12 days after surgery and my Dad came..He's still here chilling and putting me on house arrest because we all know the only thing that can bring me down is pain and since I'm not in pain,I'll probably be out all day when I shouldn't be.So far he's not doing his job well as he has taken me shopping twice already :D





So I think that's that..Gonna go enjoy the rest of the sunny days before it's officially Fall,windy and cold..Hope everyone had a beautiful Summer..ex.oh

Live your life to the fullest..

…otherwise it will pass you by!

 

I’m not here to preach,but I’m going to beg you all,including me,to live our lives to the fullest. Because life goes by so fast and suddenly you realize a lot has happened or changed, you realize you’re not getting any younger, you realize you’ve been too busy making plans and dreaming to actually live those dreams. Sometimes we get so caught up in random and pointless things that we don’t see the beauty in the rain falling (yeah I know it just messed up your hair and Burberry shoes), and then  suddenly there’re no flowers growing and no food in the farms and it hits you that there’s no rain! Well guess what,it came but you were too busy worrying about your messed up hair and clothes to appreciate it. I try to always smile,laugh,live and love, and I believe everyone should,we only have one life and its such a privilege to be able to still breathe when millions are fighting for their lives and other millions are dead and gone. The least we could do is truly live the life we’re given borrowed.

 

Girls fight over things I can’t even begin to understand, it might be a silly,or serious issue,but whatever it is, why do we have to let our pride get in the way? Will “I’m sorry” really take  something away from you? If you’re even planning on apologizing why not just do it now rather than wait on the other person to say sorry first,you have a chance of reaching out to your friend or family just as much as they do. Life scares me,after all my experiences and challenges,it still scares me,because guess what,it’s so full of surprises, and the worst part is just when you think you’re ready and prepared you get knocked off your feet,then you wonder what happened to the lessons you learnt and the times when you thought you’re ready for anything and everything. Nothing is guaranteed, say what you have to say today because I might not be here tomorrow..and tomorrow is only 24 hours away anyway. If you’re too proud to be the bigger person and apologize then think about this. If something happens to your friend or family tomorrow and you didn’t get to say all you needed to,will you regret it? If your answer is yes then why waste time beating around the bush when you know nothing’s for sure,if your answer however is no..then good luck with your grudge.

The rain might mess up your day but it smells heavenly and comes with beautiful flowers and food, the sun might threaten to melt you down but summer is still fun and it’s all about the sunshine, winter might be too cold but how else are we supposed to appreciate the sun when it comes back in April? Being sick sucks big time,especially the whole pills and needles part, and in some cases surgeries and risky treatments, but that’s the best way to teach us about appreciating our health.Situations suck,but we learn and grow from them, and being positive through out them will make us stronger, confident  and teach us how to appreciate the hardships in life,for there’s no rainbow without rain,or is it storm? Hmm.. how about this : No pain, no gain..every Nigerian can testify to that,amen!

 

I always try my best to be there for anyone who needs me,friends or family, to always smile,even when something is killing me inside, to love,everyone who knows me can testify that I’m a sucker for love, and to live my life to the fullest, trust me its not as easy as it looks on the outside, I’m going through a lot just like you and others, but I still drop my sad and blue days to hang out with friends and family,shop,drool over Usher and watch his live performances for the umpteenth time,shop,fall in love,smile and make others smile,and fall in love again.I’m scared of life and its surprises, but I’m also terrified of letting life pass me by because I was too caught up in something I was going through or because I was too distracted by silly things that didn’t matter. No one wants to grow old or die with regrets, and we all want to be remembered by the joys,laughter,smiles and love that came with us,with or without the complications in our lives. People are dying and it could be me tomorrow,or you,so I guess what I’m trying to say is live,laugh and love today,forgive,apologize,smile and live life to the fullest!

..Here’s a song by Miley Cyrus(I know I’m 21 but hey,don’t judge),listen to it,and by listen I mean the words not the beats ;)
