Surprise

Eyaaa, they almost got me teary eyed today...

I can't believe they actually planned a surprise at my job and it worked! If anyone knew these people, you would understand that they could not keep a secret to save their lives.

So, we have this fund they call the sunshine fund-you know, the one where we contribute an amount monthly into to celebrate birthdays, showers, deaths, etc to co-workers or should in case the need arise sha... For birthdays, we would usually celebrate it during our monthly staff meeting. Well, this year they missed my b/day and since i'm usually personal bout it i did not announce myself either except for a few of them that knew me like that.

The lady in-charge of sunshine fund apologized when she found out like in March that they had missed my b/day in January, since i had also not contributed to the funds this year, it was ok!

Well, today they decided to surprise me... some staff of the month kinda thing in addition to my b/day they say! First i saw flowers on my table when i first got in this morning, i was still wondering who was the person i had sent that bought flowers and could not find anywhere else to put it-yeah, i'm not big on flowers. Since they were actually pretty, my last thoughts bout them was to tell one lady like this that likes flowers to please take them or put them somewhere else sha. They actually bought food, enough for everyone and cake, and i get to leave at 4 rather than 5:30p.m. not much abi- but it's something since i'm sleepy sef...

The small but mighty lady herself gave a not so touching short speech about how much i'm appreciated and all that. I'm just glad she mentioned the fact that i do all the out of my job description things and how much they appreciate that. Atleast now i know she knows!

Anyway, thought it was nice, surprised that no one even mentioned it especially the loud mouth Ms. A that can't keep a secret! lol

On another note, i was reading someone's blog and something actually struck me, she had mentioned that she found love-well more like happiness in the least expected place, as in she had the idea of everything she wanted in a man-including the fact that he was nigerian...well, all of what she wanted came in a different package being that the guy is african american...I guess her point was that we should leave ourselves open and some of our ideas about an "ideal" mate for us may just not be in our reality. Huff!

Also on another note...for the ladies, how to make a "bloke" fall in-love - http://naijabloke.wordpress.com./ from a man's perspective - check it out, i'm not sure if i completely agree with all the points though though but they are good points nevertheless...

Relationship

Hmmm… this week has been really challenging men! Still I “PRAISE.”

Song I’m singing: Praise is what do…
I vow to praise you
Through the good and the bad
I’ll praise you
When I’m happy or sad
I’ll praise you
In all that I go through
Because Praise is what I do
And I owe it all to you…

Ok, that of my chest…unto other things…

As much as people are getting married, I’ve noticed that there are actually about the same number of people looking for a partner to settle down with…well amongst us women oh…not too sure bout men as there are people getting married.

I’ve been round a couple of blogs and I know there are genuine women and men out there for some reason or the other have just not found the right “person.” Is there really a right person?

I’ve got a couple of friends who are looking to settle down and I think at this point I want to blame it on the environment abi what else? Young, beautiful, intelligent, hardworking, ladies. So if we are all that, why can’t we find men abi? Well, I’m asking the same question. I have a particular friend that even me I’m guaranteed she would make the perfect wife…far better than me I must say because she’s submissive to a fault as long as I’m concerned, caring, and romantic, Yet she’s still not found the “one” if there is something like the one.

I think this search or quest for a partner could have been much easier and less trouble if some of us of a certain age group, for females usually from 24, and for men, I think 28 are not under the pressure from our family members and others. It only gets worse when our age mates are tying the knot, marrying, jumping the broom and whatever else it is called.

I’ve read about different crazy ways people meet including facebook and HI5 so please don’t kill the idea. Nothing is impossible! You just never know!

Well I was thinking maybe this blog could help. (not like there is a lot of traffic here, but maybe I can have anyone reading it to actually tell others they know to come and add their profile).

The idea is to have people put up a brief profile. It’s nameless; we’ll use numbers for names. Now if anyone finds a profile that interests them and they want to further communicate with the person, they send me an e-mail on the condition that they also put a profile out. Individuals can decide not to want another person to reach them based on their profile.

Now, the next step after first interest would be to exchange pics. If one is no longer interested after pic, then no further information will be passed across.

Now, please on a very serious note, only those who are looking for relationships that may lead to marriage should apply. Sorry, but females under 21 and below may not apply, and men 24 and below may not apply well, unless you have an older sibling.

So, Profile Questions as follows:

Ok this I think should be interesting and fun…spread the word and let’s see how it goes…

One of them days

It's one of those days when i'm at work and have so much work to do and i'm still bored and don't feel like doing jack.

I'm down for a couple of reasons yet i give all the glory to God sha..."This too shall pass" hmmm

Was looking through one of those magazines from home, i forget the name now...but why was there an ad that read:

"41 years old, good-looking, well to do man seeking cripple for relationship that will lead to marriage. Promise to make you happy. " proceeded to leave calling number.

Is it just me or that wierd? I thought about the options and it's sad to say my yoruba movie watching self had the better of me. Maybe the man had been told he must marry a cripple for some reason? then again, maybe the man has a disability himself?

Of-course there is nothing wrong in being crippled...ok, there is something wrong...wo! u sha get the gist! it's not just a normal request for marriage but of-course everyone is entitled to getting married and being happy. It was just wierd sha...

On another note, i'm thinking bout leaving my own hair out more often oh!!! I'm one of those people that hardly wear my own hair. As in if i take my braids out on friday after work, by saturday i've replaced it with another one or with weave. I don't think anyone outside my house has seen my hair like that in a long time. Fuuny thing is it's not even for the sake of fashion oh...it's just convinient, maybe i can also call it laziness. The fact that i have to wake up each morning and go to work is already a bother for me, I wake up in enough time to be at work at the right time and many times i'm still late sef, so taking the time to do hair or think about what to do to the hair each morning does not just cut it for me. As such, i'm good with the braids.

Anyway, i was so tired of my last "fake" hair that i took it out in the middle of the week. I thought i'ld do Ghana weaving next and the lady who is going to hook it up was booked for last week. So i had to carry my hair oh since last week thursday. Funny thing is i've gotten quite a bit of compliments and attention since then. Someone at work actually told me she thought i didn't even have hair sef...the funniest compliments have come from some older men.... "oh look at you young pretty lady, you look different." " You're beautiful, u know that? you should wear your hair down more often" The man that said that just put a smile on my face since i was down sef. It's sad that both of them are too old and they are old flirts at that...hmmm....

Oh, so the story i started, i thought someone was going to add to it. I was expecting someone to mention how predictable it was, someone read it and told me he knew where i was leading to....but m & b's are usually predictable so it's ok... I've lost the zeal to write it though, see why i'm not a writer, but maybe i'll pick up somehow though....

Wo, let me go and finish this day somehow jare...
