Let's Marvin Gaye and get it on...

You've got the healing that i want. Just like they say it in the song, till the dawn, lets Marvin Gaye and get it on ...

This Marvin Gaye by Charlie Puth feat. Meghan Trainor song has been giving me life. I just loveeet! So how have you all been. I'm fine. Life is happening as usual. More drama everyday; sometimes more than I can handle but er well. We already know drama follows me around so no biggie. I'm not sharing the latest episode in the series of my life that I have titled, Dear Lord, Why Me? Y'all not ready for it. (Honeydame, CoyIntrovert and SingleNigerian, please leave this one alone)

Nails on fleek :D

First things first, my nails are back!!! You think we're here to play? After everything I've been through this year, please I had to invoke all the powers that be to bless my nails and it happened.

When they ask if you got your nails fixed and it's all yours ...*moonwalks*

Second, are you people not honestly shopping on Konga.com? So you are and I have not earned anything through you? You people play too much. What do you think the banners up top and on the sides are for? Please click click click away and purchase. Use my link and make me some money please. This your baby girl needs to feed to keep body and soul together. I'm not thirsting after glass house yet but a nice house would do. Atilola, come and try Konga so you can compare with Jumia. Thanks in advance. And If I eventually buy my own glass house, I'll give y'all a room each too. You might need to share though. Maybe Atoskin can share with HD and we'll name that the Room of Hips or Hippy Room. See, even my joke is dry. This is not a joking stuvvv. Epp me plis. Epp me. I'm suvvring.

I guess we can all agree that I'm not dead. *Side eyes* TLG and Honeydame. My life is just going through some changes. You can follow @toinlicious for more of my deliciousness.

So to the real reason I'm back here. The wonderful Lola of Rose of Sharon tagged me in this Sisterhood of the World Blogger Award and I had to come out of hibernation. Thanks so much Lola. Lola is the lovely author of Twenty Nine. You can check out her other books on Okadabooks.

4.                  Nominate five blogs; Okay

5.                  Make up ten new questions for your nominees to answer. Alright

1. What is your biggest pet peeve? I honestly don't know, it depends on where, when, who, what and how. I have a long list. From people who drive slow on the fast lane, to people who stay on your lane and refuse to move when the traffic light goes green because they are not exactly going your way but stupidly blocks you, to those who pick their nose and flick it. Biggest though? I don't know. If I like you, some of these things might not even bother me except that snot flick.

2. What does your last text message say? MO: Why were you calling me at 6:58am?

3. Can you taste the difference between Pepsi and coke? Which do you prefer? I can't tell the difference and give me water. I can't believe my relationship with berryblast is over and I'm not even sad. What is this life? A rotten pot of beans I tell you.

4. Make a confession about anything.  There is this 22million naira house that I'm thirsting after. I need money!!!

5. Name one item on your bucket list. To live alone in another country

6. If you were another person, would you make friends with yourself? Hell yeah! Have you met me? You obviously haven't because if you have, you'll definitely know. I'm amazing. I know my vain is showing but I'm not tucking it in. I'm that fabulous and cute and nice and my heart? Too large for its own good. Let's not forget my smile too.

7. What is your secret weapon to lure the oppoiste sex, boyfriend, husband, potential? I'm not luring anybody abeg. Did you not read about My lover? I didn't even have to do nothing and he wanted to die on top the matter.

8. What do you want to know about the future? Did I eventually kill my brother or did he kill me? I need to know this. Oh wait, or what colour did I paint my 22milion naira house :D

9. What would you change about your experience in secondary school? Honestly, nothing. I had the best and most unserious time of my life there lol. Traumatising for my family especially my dad and my sister, Prim-not though, seeing as Prim-not was the model daughter hehehe

10. Scary movies or happy endings? Happy endings. I'm a sucker for them

I'M GIVING IT UP

Hey people. I hope my American folks had a wonderful thanksgiving. Please forgive me for not replying comments. I'll get to that asap. So while i was drooling all over Emeli Sande yesterday (i just fell in lust with her songs) someone sent me this:

"Dunno how true this is, but better to broadcast as to be more careful and cautious :

Did you hear the News? Just saw it ΐϞ one of τ̲̅ђe online media network too!!! We as Christians should stop using the word "Lol" as it originated from the Devil worshippers Α̲̅πϑ they become happy seeing τ̲̅ђe world using it because when they pray they say "Lucifer our Lord" in short "Lol" so they think we are saying the same thing as them as τ̲̅ђey gave it τ̲̅ȍ τ̲̅ђe world, so a piece of advice, don't use Lol ever again Please. it's for your own safety. You may ßε̲̣ worshiping τ̲̅ђe devil unknowingly. John8:32 says "Α̲̅πϑ ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free" D̶̲̥̅̊̣̣̥̇ŋ't hide τ̲̅ђe truth from others,Ɣøû know ђã†̥ τ̲̅ȍ do"

My response: Abegi! Small time now another person will say 'smh' is 'satan my husband' Long hiss

1) I hate those fancy characters, especially those that you have to crack your brain to decipher.  It annoys the sh*t out of me (pardon my French) Do us both a favour, don't use it and everything will be fine with the world.

2) While i understand the need to be careful and cautious, 'lol' though? Really? Seriously? Smh

I have finally given up on being a girly girl/lady/woman. I stumbled on the above make-up tutorial that lasted for all of 15 minutes yesterday and i could not believe my eyes! What the actual F3%$? Primer? Brow powder? Make-up setter? What are these things? because it's beginning to sound like i need tutorials on how to be a girl O_O. I seriously salute those who do these on a daily because the end result looks pretty good and almost effortless but darn, i just can't! I do not have the energy. The very talented lady used 24 stuff altogether (yea, i counted) The pimples i have are usually one at a time around that time of the month. The occasional hot red or fuchsia pink lip stick, lip gloss, eye shadow and a couple more stuff are all i've got. 15 minutes of this? Naa, i give up. Does anyone need a vjay? cos i'll give mine right up right now. Someone please get  me a phallus something else asap! The video actually reminded me of Sugabelly's performing femininity post

Back to Emeli Sande, I'm totally sold on My Kind Of Love track. The video reminds me of My Sister's Keeper movie because it had the same effect the movie had on me:) I guess it's because of the hospital setting and wig-wearing. Check out the video below and the lyrics here. Shout-out to a certain sweetie. This video is for you. You know yourself :*

Oh, was anyone expecting a follow-up to the last post? Well, fingers crossed *wink*

GOD'S SPECIAL PROJECT

Hypothetically

You know that feeling you get

When you prepare for an exam and you read everything you can. You cover all the basics and tell yourself you’re fine.

Then you enter the exam hall and relax.

Then you see the question paper and heave a sigh of relief because you feel good about all five questions and tell yourself, you’ve got this.

Then the examiner tells you, you have just 2 hours to answer all 5 questions and you look at him like he’s suddenly grown horns.

Then you scramble for your pen and start writing, with that annoying voice in your head telling you not to bother because you know there is no possible way you would finish.

And you try everything to shush that voice.

And you write twice as furiously just to prove that voice wrong.

And when you’re nowhere near done, you’re told to hand in your paper because of course, time is up.

You hand it in while mentally throwing daggers at the examiner.

And you get terrified of what the results would be.

Then you start over-analysing all the words you wrote.

And you discover you really should have written ‘this’ or excluded ‘that’.

And a little voice in your head tells you should be fine but that other annoying voice says “please, you didn’t even finish”

Then you have to wait endlessly for the result.

In the meantime, you try your bestest to squash the negativity.

And you think of several ways of consoling yourself.

And you finally get the long awaited mail.

And pow!

You passed!

Yea, this is exactly how I’d been feeling lately. But oh, the joy of knowing you passed. You’re so giddy, you can’t think. The world is at peace again and you can breathe. Again.

Lately, God has been coming through. I'm not exactly where i want to be but i definitely am not where i used to be. And for that i am grateful. I have been feeling like i'm God's special project. He is definitely on my case. I constantly feel like doing some Stephen Boss aka Twitch moves (from So You Think You Can Dance) and dancing to the songs in my head. (groovy songs)

 

And the songs in my head? Try this: God in Me by Mary Mary (Can i crump to this?)

 Or this: Ara Ile by Simi

Or this: Thank You by Mary Mary feat Kirk Franklin

And that picture of Twitch? Yea, i just like to ogle him. Cute huh?

Have an amazing weekend.

Muah

JUST THE WAY YOU ARE

I will totally not abandon this blog for a week. Not gona happen. My mind/head seems to be running a mile a minute in a million different directions.  I wish I could just give my head out to a professional head-fixer to fix everything and return to me all sorted and properly organized. Life would be so much easier if I could do that. Right now, God is my bestest bet so I’m leaving it all in his hands and trusting him.

Lue, Honeydame and Oroque, i have not forgotten my funny-proposals story, I’ll make good on that next. In the meantime, there’s this song that I can’t get enough of. Bruno Mar’s Just the Way You Are. I know it’s not new and I’ve listened to it so much but it never gets old.  The way i smile when I’m listening to it en, you’d think he was singing it to me. Sometimes I actually imagine he is and that his smile…#sigh. The guy should just marry me already. Anyways, if you bump into him, just give him my pin. A girl can dream right. So Mr. Right, if you’re reading, this song would be a good way to propose. On second thought, don’t. I don’t wana spoil the memory of this song if it’s not done right. Ai, I’ll definitely be back. Enjoy the video, cuteness.
