its a big, big world!

Geez, and the famous (or infamous) vals day has come n gone.

True, i roasted in the real sense of it buuuut.....i was asked out on a date that went well and he's cute :D

I actually forgot to call my family, can you imagine that but they called me eventually and i could just burst with all the love. It felt so good!

Took my mind back to a particular vals day may years ago when i was really little...my grandma gave me and my siblings a really big atlas (the name was "its a big big world" actually...lol). Yeah, i know, i have talked about this atlas a lot on twitter because i loved it a lot

The thing about this atlas was it was my childhood companion. You may think thats pathetic as a growing child, no friends, parties or things but i tell you it was wonderful to be able to play all sorts of games with my siblings with the atlas. We practically studied it and i must tell you the information was priceless. As a matter of fact, we didnt realize we were missing out on anything(at least i didnt). We were just too happy because almost all our breaks were spent in grandma's house and you know how grandmas are with children. Discipline n d purest love.

Yesterday when i thought of my gifts through the years, that atlas came to mind and i smiled from my heart because that atlas from her was the best gift ever. Now shes older and so are we but we are still so attached to her apron strings (and so is my mum, she's my maternal grandma). I had called the family and gisted with all of them, and it wasnt till now that it clicked what was missing yesterday.....i did not place a call to her...i wonder what i can give her but i know she has no use for gifts now and the good thing is, it wont be too late when i make that call.

I love my grandma and she is my valentine! :)

Many Waters Under the Bridge

Wow....I can almost see the dust on my blog page...lol

I havent been here in a while and i dont know why that is because i have actually had a lot of time on my hands. Lets just say "kiimora" (am nt used to it...lol). but i now intend to be back here actively. just going to put down a bunch of stuff....randomly

I can say i have had a wonderful post-grad phase so far....done stuff i had not done before (at least, i finally saw the inside of a club...late bloomer, yeah)...good and bad (okay, cant quite remember the good part).

I had a wonderful break in ATL with @missbalance and lotanna...wonderful sistas

Although, i returned home with not just bags of clothes n shoes but a nasty $500 phonebill which i really didnt plan for. Very pissing.

However, i have by God's grace managed to keep my head. my friends have not even changed. i guess i am not that good at keeping people

Recently, i noticed my fuse is shorter. people piss me off faster...not very good

My cousins think i have no emotions. i dont believe that. but my actions and reactions of recent give me concern...they may be right....i am becoming too much like my dad...cold.

i have had those growing up mother-daughter issues with my mum back to back in the last two months but we are coping.

i am serving in abuja and staying with my cousins who are normally wonderful but other times, i just want to shoot one of them...lol

i joined twitter thanks to @missbalance

i am really running through some information about guys in my head because they are now really in my line of focus and i am discovering quite somethings about them.....i must say not very good.....they are actually worrisome.

for some strange reason, it just dawned on me that i have been single officially since i think July 2007....thats funny actually. or not

i have also confirmed that i have committment issues....i think i overthink the whole process and then get freaked out...hence cherishing the comfort of "just friends" n nothing more....maybe am just a chicken...

i have had this close friend since 2008 (we share a not so neat history) and i recently blasted him and threw him outta my life...good and bad...i kinda dont care.

i think i live too "maturely" and principled (i still have my fair share of crazy tho)...my mates are living hecka crazy and am like wow...but in truth, i just cant get with it...

i miss my family....i decided to pack up and move down to abuja for nysc and i am here without them

right now, am thinking....sunday will be my 22nd valentine's day....am i will also roast ...just like the previous years (okay i got a package once)....

okthanksbye!
