IT's A WRAP GUYS! ( HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!)

She woke us all up with her continous movements in and around the house, in the early hours of the morning. I had looked forward to that day and i had plans for my self. It was my birthday no doubt, but i had no plans of waking up from my beauty sleep so early in the morning as a result of some rubbish noise nwuye was making. Eventually, i had to get out bed because tried as i could, i just could not keep my eyes closed with all her gra gra(i felt like punching her in the face).

Nwunye woke up as early as 3am, put on her favourite spaghetti strap and leggings she bought at her favourite okriks boutique at tej market her excuse being, pregnancy had no permanent dress. She had on a pair of big earings, big enough for a canary to play jangilover in.her ibo lo shey (ibo made said in yoruba but pronounced in italian) designer sandals were cleaned in a hurry and as such, still had traces of dust here and there. I scanned her with a frown on my face before asking her where she was headed and if the witches convention started so early in the year that she had to wake us all up.

"Abeg leave me" she said. Where you dey go na wey u no go let us hear word and by the way, you no even wish me happy birthday sef. Na so them send you?(Rme). Oh i almost forgot and im sorry she said, with a hug to show her genuine repentance. That still does not answer my question madam! I want to quickly get to my doctor's at ikoyi, i think my baby is in distress she said. With eyes wide open, i wondered what she was talking about and i quickly had to call mum. Hmm distress kwa no be only! I think you are in labour. It wasn't long before i discovered that arguing with Nwunye was a bloody waste of my precious time not after her display of madness a few days before. I saw a side of her she so carefully concealed until she said "i do"

I made up my mind, not to argue with her, but to accompany her to the bus_stop and just play "yes boss" to my madam" all i had on was a sheer short red night gown and a wrapper on my waist and mum wore an old boubou she bought at ivory coast. We had not stood for ten minutes before our madam Nwunye experienced her first cramp. Nwunye had began seeing double and before we knew it, she was bending on the streets to pee. My leggings wearing madam wants to piss on the road. Wonderful! Mum made me give her my wrapper and made me carry this 20ton woman to the nearest clinic, leaving me and my short dress at the mercy of the early morning harmatan cold.

It was not a very long walk as we got to the clinic in good time for her to pee. Lo and behold, a bloody show. She was admitted immediately and in less than two hours, i watched for the first time in my life, a woman give life to another soul. My nephew, the best birthday gift anyone could ever ask for. I filmed it all. His grand entrance, his first cry, his first poop, bath etc. I couldn't be happier. I ran from the clinic to the house, no fewer than a hundred times if i am not exaggerating. I was so excited and confused at the same time. For once, i forgot all about Nwunye's madness and just embraced the beauty of reproduction. My first God son. He was so little and fragile looking yet beautiful. Behold! Subsideen(lol)

This year has been a very eventful year for me. I loved, lied, cried, kissed a couple of frogs, hammered*winks dont ask me how or if i am speaking the truth about hammering oh! With all i have been through this year,i will say that nothing tops my gmy experience of witnessing the birth of my birthday gift. Mind sharing your best experience of the year on this space? Please feel free to tell us all.

Lest i forget, i met a couple of wonderful people too and i am thankful to God almighty for bringing them my way. For those i may have offended, i apologise and those who offended me, i forgive you too. To my haters, see you all on the other side of 2013 and i wish you all loose your front teeth so when you smile, folks know y'all are evil(lol) just teasing.

Here is wishing us all a blissful 2013 filled with wonderful endings and fulfilled dreams. Kisses****
Ps I like Charles' baby and Kathy's baby too.

LIFE OF AN ABUJA GIRL....

I am the first person to admit i'm not as much of a christian as i ought to be. I chide myself for not living up to standard and walking in line with God's divine design for my life. I struggle to stay focused and most times,i loose the battle. But no matter how many times i fail,i have no intention of leaving the battle ground..No sir,no way..I have been equipped with all the gears i need to win this,and win i must.

So many times when i am faced with terrible afflictions,i pray to God and demand that he pays attention to my prayers,and when he doesn't(as far as i'm concerned) i alienate myself from him. That's the greatest sin of pride and so many of us are guilty of it. I forget that God doesn't work according to my calendar. He isn't an object I can clock on and expect to go off just when it suits me and at the slightest trace of a problem..I can't see wide enough or far enough to know or comprehend his grand plan for me because my faith is constantly waving and my trust forever shaking.

I know that God does not need my permission to break me into my destiny neither does he need any preparation for it to be executed. It Just takes suddenly for my lanes to be changed. I try so hard to make my love for God surpass my worry about trivial things like not being where i ought to be. I want to strive to the point where my love for God will be so great that all my energy will be spent towards keeping the flame alive that i won't have any more  left worrying my pretty little head about things God has already sorted out.

I might not be much of a church goer, but i have a great fellowship in my heart with God. I might not be a christian by title, but i am a christian by attitude. I might not be a preaching christian,but i am a reaching christian. I might not know too many verses in the bible, but i know word for word the rules about treating my fellow human beings like they are gods.(After all,what good is it being a christian if u don't love your neighbor more than yourself)

I'm a work in progress. A building under construction. And by the time the work on me is done, you all would be dazzled at the end result..Because as far as i'm concerned,i'm an architectural masterpiece..And masterpieces take time to be completed.

Hello people, this post still isn't mine. Still on the visitor's column and i thought to share it.

Visitor's column

Hello friends, trust your week has been good. Mine has been pretty hectic and as such, I have been everywhere this week. Phew! The weekend is finally here when I can put my feet up, watch t.v and indulge in a few of my favorite things. Been talking to an old friend of mine on an issue we often neglect. She sent in this short piece and I hope you all enjoy it as I did. Bruno Mars' lazy song is playing in my head right now and believe me, today, I'm not gonna do nothing at all(tongue out). Don't even try to ask me if I brushed my teeth today(I do not intend kissing nobody duh!) #eyes rolling# enough about my boring life style already. Please enjoy.

All we talk about these days is survival..life is getting more difficult and more complicated by the second.We talk about how to handle our personal demons and how to keep our heads afloat without getting sucked in..Well,blah blah blah..Anywho,i'm not gonna talk about boring stuff like that,because i'm beyond certain we've heard enough of that,and personally,if i hear  any more talk about survival ishes,i'm gonna scream my lungs out

So,we gonna talk about Love..yes,you heard me right..we gonna talk about love baby(tongue out to all of you)Nobody gets to talk about love again and quite frankly,i am not surprised.Some people would rather make out with  broken bottles than be in love,talk about love or hear about love. Well,as for Tega,i am a sucker for the L word..gimme love any day and i'm ready to dive into it. Although,experience has thought me to test d water before diving in,there is nothing more satisfying than d feel of d cold water of love..lol. Call me stupid if u want,but i think love is the most gratifying experience.itz a spiritual connection between 2 people and it balances d sphere of the universe.

Love makes everything better whether you agree with me or not..Okay,am very well aware that love can be very very tricky. Love can be crazy when itz crazy,but when itz good,damn..itz really good. We've all been burnt by love at one point,or taken a serious punch from it that left us comatose. But is it enough reason to give up on it? Nahhhh..As long as there is blood in ur vein,there should be space for love in your heart

So,am i in love? Well,that's a question i would have to answer some other time..Tega and love,there's  a nice ring to it don't you think *wink*Thanks a million 4 having me here Miss Tackleberry..kisses..xoxo
