WHAT TITLE DO I GIVE THIS POST?


Hey people. My weekend was supposed to be quiet but it turned out more fun than I hoped.
1) So I kinda sorta maybe lost a friend over the weekend. No, the person's not dead but I think our friendship is. It was drama filled & juicy. I wish I could share here but I can't. You people would have said Toin has come again lol. We were getting along pretty well but the person took something I said too seriously. I sincerely groveled apologised & tried to make peace (valuing friendships & taking the high road ish) but...

2) As bubbly as I am, I can also be maddeningly calm (is that even a word? Wole Soyinka berra watch out for me lol) I think I'm obsessed with making peace. Is that a bad thing? I hope not.

A conversation between Prim & 1.
3) Prim: U know u get craze small
Toin: I know but my craze still dey bearable
Prim: Who tell u dat. We no get choice ni hehe. Y u think we dey always wan sell or trade u?
Toin: (light bulb moment) en en! Me? Sister dearest?
I don't like Prim very much at the moment :) *sideye*

 4) Another friend gave me a card just because. How sweet is that? I'm awesome (ok maybe not always but I try) #trumpetblowinginprogress. I love cards & I used to buy them for no reason. It still trips me when I get them & I appreciate it. Xoxo TC

So we kinda got robbed.

Yea, by thieves...
Ransacked more like actually. No one was home & these people used no less than 2hours up-turning every nook & cranny of the house. When I say every nook, I mean mirco-wave and Danish cookie jar inclusive lol.  They were apparently looking for money & handy stuff. I know this is in no way funny but couldn't stop laughing. I found the whole episode hilarious & maybe it's mild PTSD. Anyway, i felt bad for them. Such waste of time. If I know them, I would probably offer them 10k for their trouble. They upturned everywhere. My old books & stuff I thought I threw away/burned. I pity my mama 'cos she’s going to be arranging till kingdom come.

And can you believe these people refused to touch my expensive fashion accessories? Are they trying to say i'm cheap? *flips ghana weave* The nerve!! *bb-angry-face* You see that Opia (no idea who they are by the way) silver bangles? It's all of £1 in Primark! Odidi £1 & they did not have the common sense to steal it *rollingeyes*. And my beads? Fashion Earings? Books? And tissue? I mean, what sorta thief doesn't need tissue or read books? *scoffs* Anyroad, imma keep rocking my Expensive (yea expensive. That’s my story and I’m sticking with it) stuff like that.
Stuff were strewn everywhere. They (probably in anger) tore the net in my room (the part facing the courtyard) making it easy for mosquitoes to swarm in but God pass them. Na to vacate the room (it's been fixed so i'm back there). I am however grateful nothing much was stolen. They got a few things including my lovely purple wristwatch that i got last December *bawling* but I'll be fine *snif* Mo can testify that I love me that wristwatch. I can't do purple combination anymore unless someone blesses me with another or those shoes that i named 'Toin'.

I didn't sleep too well that night. I kept waking up almost every hour but I'm good now. It's unsettling to know someone invaded your privacy and went through your stuff in your absence. Thank God it was during the day so no one got hurt.

And, Che is back!!!

This is so random. I'll be back. Love you muchos *muah*

    Sidenote- i could bare read this. I didn't even know there were words here as the letters and the background were both black. If not for me reading the comments i would've just thought you were showing us pix today!

  9. Eyah, Pele o. I know how it feels 2 have been visited by the real owners. Thank goodness, nobody was around to entertain them as the afermath would not have been funny.

    As 4 the lost friendship, maybe you guys were not really friends in the first place or the value you placed was not the same as said erstwhile "friend". In life, we win some and lose some.

    Take heart, kiddo!

    That robbery story is giving me shivers sha!

  13. First off toin, you are one very funny chic...had me laughing amidst all the robbery that took place at home...

    Purple wristwatch, whyyyyy? so beautiful....I bet one of them stole it for his chic and he may probably claim he bought it at a high price...YEYE

    Chic, thank God none of you were present when the thieves arrived...they might have done some physical harm or tell you to raise up your hands and close your eyes (lol)...

    Lmaooo at you flipping your ghana weave...whip 'em braids girl...I have got them on too (looong by the way) and I act ''joor ohh'' by flipping them back and forth

    About your friend and all the groveling, you have done your best by apologizing...Ooooh, a thought just crossed my mind..You could appear at his/her doorstep with a chicken wearing glasses on your head just like Monica did in FRIENDS... If that won't get her laughing and expel the grudges, mehnn forgerrr it..lol

    Name of post - RANDOM WEEKEND HAP'NINS..I think it suits!

    they stole her expensive perfumes and shoes, she was raging bull and i felt sick.

    How people can take someone else hard earned items is beyond me

    ReplyDelete
  24. Jeez! The thought of strangers and their dirty hands crawling around your stuff when you're not home make my skin crawl.

    Sorry that they invaded you guy's privacy like that and Thank God they didn't find much to take. Ah! Na wa o!

    UVG: Thanks sweetie. Expensive ni o. lol@market seller but you're making sense sha

    Fantasyqueen: exactly! Primark for that matter *still fuming* Thanks for dropping by dear

    Prim-not: lmao. i can't believe i'm saying this but i wish you had stolen it. I would have stolen it back this weekend now. Stealing from each other is way more fun jere. And did you say you won't give me up for anything in the world?? that's like saying you love me right? Is it my birthday? *scrambling to laminate comment* hahaha

    DI: I guess you're right. We win some and lose some

  28. OddNaijaChic: hahaha i swear, you could easily be my new blog-bestie. Glad i made you laugh hon. lmao@ raise up your hands & close your eyes. I don't even want to imagine other physical harm they could have done. By the way, still whipping my ghana weave real good o a la Willow smith (long too) lol

    For my friend, i don't know yet but we'll see. I so remember that episode tho. I don't know if i can put raw chicken on my head (ew) but that chicken dance hahaha i could totally try that...jiggle to the left and right lol

I swallowed all my pride, ate eba to be sure it went down pata pata & drank berryblast to clear my throat before i apologised. I don't know sha but i swear, i tried.

    Lovelifeforsale: lmao but my EXPENSIVE bangles were lying there and they did not touch it. The Danielle Steel is 2011 too(altho my friend would have killed me anything ad happened to her book lol) IMO, they wanted cheap stuff and i don't do cheap so they left hehehe (that's my 2nd story and i'm sticking with that too)

    Nikkisho: thanks doll. Expensive o *claps hands*

    MsNana: Oh, sorry about your experience too. It can be very unnerving. And your mom's stuff? sorry about that too.

    Enkay: Thanks and yea, i was going for "maddeningly". It still makes my skin crawl too when i think about it (which i don;t do often)

  31. Okay...I supoose say sorry for getting robbed but I can't just resist this...

    Those guys were not thieves...they were idiots!

    In fact if they had been caught on a security camera they would fit to feature in that show titled 'What were they thinking?'.

    And na wah for you oh Toin...you're angry that they did steal some of your precious jewelry indicating that they thought you were cheap?

    LMAO...you crack me up seriously!

  40. ogao...im glad no one got hurt sha. but i still feel a little suspicious that they ransacked every nook and cranny all because of what? i think they were lookin fr something spetacular...cos if they could leave ur jewellry and all,,,well the main thing is u were all safe
    as fr d friendship stuffz..nt easy to let go, understanding is important in a relationship but what can u do when the strain in the relationship starts becoming conspicous.
    some friendships last and some don't. experienced such and all you can do is pray and move on, not letting anything get in ur way

  41. Thank God you guys weren't home. I'm so sorry about what happened. My dear sometimes in friendship, people might find themselves in the situation you are in now, distant from each other. They might find themselves together again or they may not. That is life. You tried to make it work so you have done your part honey. Allow God to do the rest.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Thank God you're all safe. I love your expensive stuff. hehe

  43. wow! thank God you were not at home o!
