Yea, i know lol |
My brother in-law
made that. Future husband please take note. Thank you lol (a girl can dream
right)
So 5weeks of sleep was bliss (did I just rhyme? ok now) I read
a lot of books and saw lots of movies (before nko). I almost didn’t forgive my bil for making me watch “Sucker
Punch”, but the image of his culinary skills melted my beef. It didn’t help
that I saw “I do, I did” and “500 days of Summer” on the same night.
To think I didn't sleep until 4am just because of these terrible movies and do
you know what was worse? I could not rant at anyone because everyone else was
sleeping! Something I should have been doing myself. That morning, my 1 year
old niece promptly woke me up at 6am.
Angel: (do not let the pet name fool you, that child
is totally mini-me) Antoin (that’s me in case you’re wondering), wake up. Shand
up. Open e door. Leggo oushide.
And I dare not go back to the room to sleep. SMH. Things
we do for love. I actually enjoyed playing ‘mommy’ to my nieces although they are such
a handful. I totally understand the reason Prim-Not is slim. I miss them so much already. By the way, I had no idea kids consumed that
much tea. Darn!
So i started my reading with An Echo in the Darkness by Francine Rivers. That was my Xmas
present to me. Someone gave me A Voice in
the Wind and I desperately wanted to know what happened to Hadassah. The big book of Ifs 123 by Evelyn McFarlane
& James Saywell is another amazing and thought provoking book that I came across.
The book made me THINK. I’m going to be asking some questions from that book
and I hope you can honestly answer them.
I am currently on Jackie Collins’ Poor Little Bitch Girl. I loved the Santangelo series but I hadn’t read
Jackie in ages. This brings me to the story of one of my new found friends. He saw
me with the book and mentioned that he had not read novels in over a decade. We
were chatting much later about the wonder of books and he sent me this:
O_O James Hardley Chase? Romance? Ok o |
In a totally unrelated matter, is it weird that I’m
following Kola Boof on twitter? Prim seems to think i’m crazy *shrugs*
I found this amazing card that Prim gave me when I was
like 8 or 9. I absolutely love it. I laughed soo hard and almost peed my pants.
I remember she always bought me something for my birthday. Always. She always
took her “big sister” duties seriously. She wrote: From Big Sister To Little Toin :-)
From Big Siser |
So cute. I love Prim but this Toin aint so little anymore |
And at the back of the card she wrote: 2good 2 4get = 8me not lmao
I was going to post the following as my favourite holiday song but it skipped my mind in December but I’m going to share anyway.

Went to the store, sat on Santa's laps
Asked him to bring my friends all kinds of crap
He said all you need is to write them a song
You haven't heard it yet so don't try to sing along
Don't sing along
Monica Monica, have a happy Hannuka
Saw Santa Clause, he said hello to Ross
& please tell Joey, xmas will be snowy
Rachel & Chandler...@@#$U@&*$&%@*&&(Y$Y&T$^@
Happy holidays everybody (This song was done by Phoebe in F.R.I.E.N.D.S. Yu gotta love Phoebe)

I’ll be back.
My brain needs to rearrange form the amala oppression.... I will be back.
ReplyDeletelol. That is what you do to my brain every time i go on your blog or website. sweet torture
Deletelol @9ja Foodie!!
ReplyDeleteI second that, that amala looks tantalising!!!!
It sure does. and it was yummy too! i still find it hard to believe that a man made it
DeleteSeriously random things :-D. That card esp Prim's handwritten note is really cute. James Hardely Chase novels had some form of romance in it if i remember correctly *scratching my head*. :-).. I also love the Hadassah Series. Francine is an amazing writer.
ReplyDeleteThanx luv. Tot the card was cute too and to think she's just a few years older. the "big sis" and "lil toin" keeps cracking me up
DeleteChase is not about romance jor. It's like saying you watch James Bond cos you like Romance. Chase was all about action. I'm guessing the guy never read any. He probably judged the book by the cover literally. There was usually a sexy girl in lingerie holding a gun on the cover
U knw as much as I liked reading,I never read any hardley chase because I judged the poor books by their cover...itwaz recently someone told me it wasn't a romantic collection but action. Ofcourse ma mouth made a perfect O in surprise.
Deletetoin u r certifiable lol, random things.i have to say am embarrassed about the card what was i thinking :$. romance in chase?
ReplyDeleteBig sis. Don't be embarrassed. It was really thoughtful of u. 2 gud 2 b 4 gotten hehehe. About Chase, i know right. Dude probably didn't read any so why lie about it?
DeleteThat amala caught my eyes, I haven't had one in a long time. The card is pretty cute too.
ReplyDeleteI'll be thinking of you when next i eat amala. probably tonight lol *running away*
DeleteToin!!!!! If dem send you, tell dem say you no see me..Amala!!!!See i cant even comment again
ReplyDeleteLol. I meet you jor. That amala went down well *drooling at the memory*
Deletewhat is the dish called? I get the amala,i get the stew,and the green thing(my guess ewedu) but what is the yellow liquid? oh btw this post is the definition of random and the card is the cutest thing ever...so jealous
ReplyDeleteThe yellow liquid is gbegiri. It is made with beans.
Delete@Crazylifemeetsdee, the combination is what Yorubas call Abula. It is very yummy. lol don't be jealous tho, my sister can adopt you and she's still very much into the whole "big sister" thing.
Deletethanx for teaching me abula and gbegiri.i appreciate...btw please connect me with your sis asap,she would love me,I play the lil sister role just too well *blush*
DeleteSomebody sure can cook, and that card is so cute too. :)
ReplyDeleteOh yes he can. Amazing huh. Thanx Myne
Deletethe card is soooooo cute.
ReplyDeleteermmmm, never ate amala before.
pls send me some of those books
You need to visit so i can make delicious Amala for you! and the books, lets see how i can work that out.
DeleteCongrats on winning the 2nd price for Write n Win. I'm proud of you girl! *hugs*
I saw the plate of amala and just dashed down to the comment section. Sorry, couldnt wait to read the entire post. I AM HUNGRY!!!! that amala dish just made me drool, not fair, Toin.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry lmao (i'm not sorry at all hehehe)
DeleteThat Amala is looking blessed! lol | But, I can make a better one jor! lol
ReplyDeleteKids! Dem no send you o... Thats why someone said, kids are very selfish. What they want is what they want, if you like call it inconvenience on your own part. haha. I love them though... too much sef! lol
Those cards.. how long ago did you say you got them?
- LDP
You sure u can make a better one? where have u been all my life en? and you're even engaged. Y does every Amala master have to be engaged or married? *sadface*
DeleteI read somewhere that God made kids cute so you wont have to kill them and i certainly agree. As for the card, tooo long ago. I was probably 9. a very very very long time ago
This is not the best picture to see on an early Thursday morning at work when I'm hungry!!!
ReplyDeleteAww, sorry love lol
DeleteAwwww.....how cute of Prim not. Not until recently did my folks start giving cards or gifts for that matter for birthdays...huge mess...
ReplyDeleteNawa for you o! Tease osi!
I bought palm oil to bring to school, and forgot it at home. Now, Ngor has refused to send it to me in the mail...I hate that girl!!!!
Shay but that was Prim o, not Prim-not. I have 2 sisters; Prim is the "big sis" and the mother of twins: Tim& Kim while Prim-Not is the crazy one who is the Mother of Princess and Angel.
ReplyDeleteSo how do we beg Ngor for u now?
Ha, thanks for the clarification o! Got it now...Wait, are you a Math major or minor ni? Your choice of names for the sisters is just soo "Mathy" to me..Prim or Prim Not...
DeleteAnyway, leave Ngor to me, she go hear am!
Math major ke. Prim-Not would have a fit if she saw this lol. I kinda hate numbers
DeleteBlessings......
ReplyDeleteHaven't ever tasted that meal. I guess am the strange on in the comments?

You really need to visit so i can treat you
DeleteAww, cute card. I haven't read a Jackie Collins since I was in secondary school. Wow, she still writes?? Is the Francine Rivers book good? How do you like it? I've only read one of her books - Redeeming Love, which is absolutely one of the best books I have ever read, possibly top 2 even, if I think about it.
ReplyDeleteJackie is same ol. Kinda predictable tho:-) Francine is gooooood! The book was set in the period after the death of Jesus but you can soo relate. You'll love it. I need to look for Redeeming Love
DeleteOh my goodness! The first thing you hit me with was Amala and Ewedu WITH Gbegiri ... Why, oh why?! Future husband better take note! I literally burst out laughing at "Leggo Oushide." I have never read James Hardley Chase, so I can't comment on your friend's blunder, but men, you have been busy with all that reading. And the card? You've kept that since you were 8? Talk about archives! 8me not? Laughing in pidgin ...
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry lol. I have no idea how that card dint end up in the trash altho i'm thankful it didn't. Lovely memories
DeleteI can smell tha Amala from my screen.
ReplyDeleteSend free SMS http://bit.ly/freesmszone

Torture is what is spelt right from the first picture. Feel so hungry. Prim-not is really cute. You're lucky
ReplyDeleteYour bro in law is one correct man joo. A cooking man is a sexy man...quote me :).
ReplyDeleteYour sister's card to you is soo sweet. The song dedication especially.
Antoin,shand up, shit down, leggo ...LMAO!!! Kids think the sun rises and sets on their cute behinds. smh.
James Hadley Chase..emotionally exhausting? get me outta here! the guy don fall him own hand.
p.s. Glad to find someone else who thinks 500 days of summer was crappy. You wouldnt thinkso if you read the reviews.
500 days of summer, I hate that movie. I almost even punched somebody after I watched it sef, cos the person thought I was being unnecessarily.....*****.... for not liking it. She thought it was a good and romantic movie.....
DeleteI am even barfing a little thinking about it!
I couldnt even understand what they were trying to glorify (summer's character). And that last scene with the Autumn girl? It did it for me...I was ready to hunt down the director and give him a slap for good measure.....what stupid cheesiness?!!!!
Wooosah, HoneyDame, Woosah!
@Ginger, ah, someone finally gets my Chase-guy's goof. The guy no try at all.
Delete@Honey, i totally felt the same or worse sef. The most irritating thing was i couldn't really fast forward cos of the "day 1/day 200" thing. That Autumn thing was truly cheesy. As for hunting down the director, i really wanted to do that after watching "i do, i did"
Its so cute how Prim put extra efforts in writing those short forms!
ReplyDeleteThe card is so cute :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I remember that amala on twitter, so it was even your bro in law? Sigh HE needs to top all of that, he better come fast o so he can start brushing up the part he needs to :)
I honestly cannot tell what kind of dish that is in the picture. Looks like a sandwich of some sort?
ReplyDeleteHahahaha @ I could not rant at anyone because everyone else was sleeping!
Jackie Collins is one paid white woman when it comes to novels. I've never read any of her books but judging from the enormous amount of book sales over the years I can tell that she is PAID.
First of all, a guy cooked that? Jeez, I need me one of those...What???!!!
ReplyDeleteThat's sexy in a guy oooo... the food looks to-die-for...talk about a neat package of a man..lol
Plus the images up there are hilarious...Good stuff!!!
Oh yeah, you gotta love Phoebe...Ahem..*singing in my tone-deaf voice* ''Christmas will be snooooowwwwwyyyyyyyy...Nooo don't sing along'' Lol
Lovely post girl :)
Aww I so so love the Francine Rivers Lion Series(Trilogy). Ope U̶̲̥̅̊ also read the 3rd one. Those books were ma fav for a long time. I've read all 3 thrice!and I get excited when someone else reads them. Pls check out her latest series Marta's Legacy,they are good.
ReplyDeleteNw to dat 1st pic...
A guy made that? Ha!
*kneels down* Dear Father pls send me a great guy that can cook too...Amen
Nb:sowee for the minipost *jogging away*
That amala is a treat to me,to say it came at a time I had not eaten for days,it was the best thing ever.
ReplyDeleteAntoin shd not even complain angel is just mini-her so she gotta deal with it too.
Prim is just responsible Tee got to learn frm her o
