Very random thoughts..not my usual kind of post but it'll do....ENJOY!

"Most people think life sucks, and then you die. Not me. I beg to differ. I think life sucks, then you get cancer, then your dog dies, your husband leaves you, the cancer goes into remission, you get a new dog, you get remarried, you have cute kids , thirty five years on you work really hard and build your empire, then one day you have a massive stroke, your whole right side is paralyzed, you have to limp along the streets and speak out of the left side of your mouth and drool but you go into rehabilitation because your kids are too spoilt to want to take care of you and then you regain the power to walk and the power to talk and then one day you slip off your yatch at the coast of Lagos and then you DIE..WELL MAYBE…….



You should start out dead; just get it right out of the way….
You wake up in a senior care facility and start feeling better every day….
You get kicked out of there for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then, when you start work,….. you get a gold watch on your first day.
You work 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement.
You drink alcohol, …….you party, you're "generally" promiscuous and you get ready for High School.
After High School,…… you go to primary school, you become a kid, you play or nap all day, you have no responsibilities.
You become a baby with no cares whatsoever.
Then,….. you spend your last 9 months floating peacefully with luxuries like central heating, spa treatments, room service on tap, larger living quarter’s everyday...and then...
you finish off as an orgasm!
It would have to be better that way ... because this getting old .. just sucks

P.S..i am upset with my fellow dames.I am going on strike,I am not blogging again until someone else blogs

Living on the fast lane and loving it!!!

Wow.....haven't been in blogsville in a while. Its not my fault though, I have just been trying to enjoy boring old summer in this God forsaken country.
I don't even know where to start mehn, past few days have been hectic, I have literally been out like 4 nights in a row! like seriously.
First night was amazing, it was wande coals album launch, i knew i had to be there! Dara was meant to come with me but her flaky self cancelled on me as usual. So i went with another friend of mine and my brother which was cool. Got there at first and they said entry fee was £30 quid, i am like wth..flyer says £25 sha sha..i wasn't turning back..had to see my WC....so i paid now...got in...decided to get a drink..please ask me how much a drink at this mayfair club was ooo...ordinary coke and something....cnt remember what they mixed it with..£9.20..i was like ...wah....thats £60 pounds already in the space of an h..cos i took cab there...i was like mehn..this night better be worth it....and believe me it was..Wande has such an amazing voice..he was such a good performer as well...i couldn't even comport myself...he came in front of me and him and Dr Sid were singing taboo and i was windin my waist for them..forgetting about all the cameras and the video recorder...next day like this i saw pics and video on you tube and I was like OMG...what was i thinking..and thank God for bad lightning cos you could hardly see my face. You would only know it was me if you knew what i was wearing that day or if you were the one standing next to me...PHEWW!!!...we all know i have my rep to keep to standards.
So apart from wande's performance my night was off the charts...as in..too many men!!..ahn ahn...this one trying to get my number here..another one tryna over there..at a point my borther came to drag me and was like wasup with all these guys on ur neck..and this is my 17yrs old brother ooo...lol...I was not particularly interested in any of them sha....well..except one of them( which i will call segun) who was rilli cute and has the sexiest eyes ever...as in...God help me and my weakness for fine boys. We talked and danced for a bit and then i decided to go mingle so the guy wouldn't think he had hit jackpot..u know..front small sha...then he dragged me to one corner and we sat and talked for a while...and hes like...do you know u have an amazing body...lol...please ask me what i said ooooo...hehe...stupid me was like " i know, everybody tells me that..its like a cliche now"..LOL.....idk what came over me..i swear i think it was the alcohol...plus maybe i have an arrogant split personality...sasha arrogant..haha...the guy just burst out laffing....he was like..what happened to ....thankyou...i was like..i honestly meant o say thank u....donno y i said that...while we were still debating over my answer to the compliment...dis dude walks up to me and hes like u r a 100%....lol..and den segun is like..wow...now i know y u gave me that answer earlier on...i guess u rili do hear it a bit too much...lol..
Anyway..night came to an end and we didn't exchange numbers....but we decided to rendezvous at a club on thursday night....
Rewind to earlier in the night, there was this guy i met who i had met twice before and he'd tried to get my number but i neva gave him...his name is dele...sha...i was feeling a bit nice on wednesday night so i gave him my number sha..well lemme not say i was feeling nice....he just moved down the road to my apartment and he has a car so yeah..i knew he would come in handy cos hes a rilli nice guy but i know too much of his dirt to want to have anything to do with him. He just bangs girls everywhere and im pretty sure he is just looking to get me on that list which will never happen...haha..
And thursday night was full of surprises......
I shall blog about that tomorrow...or later today....
Hint: dele , segun , 2 new suitors aaaaaaaaannnnnnddddd..(drum rolls)//my EX BF showed up.....

Job interview....

Yaay..im so excited, woke up this morning and decided to continue my job search....took a break for like 3 weeks now and i ve just been chilling wif the folks and spending their money but seeing as my dad went back to naij on saturday and my mum is leaving tomorrow, i decided to continue my job hunt as I will be spending my own money now.....
Anyways..applied for this random customer service job this morning and would you believe they called me back like within an hr!...i was so excited....spoke to the manager and stuff and the dude asked me to come for an interview this afternoon which i went for. I got lost on the way sha....ended up having to take a black cab to the zones as i was in the middle of nowhere and din't know any minicab companies around. Sha sha...i was rather burnt having to spend that much money to go for an interview that i am not guaranteed the job yet.SO..got to the interview and lo and behold I was looking like rihanna when everyone else had their suits and corporate shirts on. I swear i left the house in such a hurry i didn't realise how i was dressed until i got there and everyone was staring at me...in my mind I was like great...this is why they stereotype black people..i mean who shows up to an interview in jeans and a biker leather jacket?...well apparently ME!
I didn't let that affect me though...i just knew i had to try a little harder than everyone else seen as i would probably have a few negative ticks already. So the interview lasted for about forty minutes, it was a group interview so it wasn't that bad...met a few guys..u know..usual stuff..
SO...at the end i packed up and started walking towards the station and then one of the guys who was in the interview with me ran up to me and was like are you American..u've got that californian thingy going on...i just blushed and i was like nope....anyway..we sha walked to the nearest station together and then as i was entering he was like oh...im not actually going this way i am going the other way...in my mind i was thinking ..ok..so y did u walk me to the station u don't even know me...i sha said bye and then like 10secs after he runs bck to me and he's like...would you like to come out with me sometime and have a drink??..i swear it was one of them movie moments..i felt like i was in Greek or something...lol...anyway..i sha said yes...(i know..i have a problem saying no to people)...the dude was hot though...he's russian, blonde, and tall ..had that whole modelling thing going on..hmmm...anyway so i gave him my number and i took his...altho i forgot to save it so i don't have it...
Idk what i am gonna do if he calls me tho cos i rilli dont want to go on a date with him.....i just said ys for the sake of it...normally i would just ignore his calls and hope he gets the message after a week but i am afraid i can't do that this time...I mean what if we both get the job..i will be seeing him sooner than i think and it ll be awkward ...gosh..how do i manage to get myself in these situations?!!...

SIGH

Picture this..

First Scenario
It was Tokunbo's bday about 2 weeks ago...we decided to go to the club and boogie to some fine naija music. On the way to the club whilst we were on the train( yes oo train..cheap gals like us)..anyway there was this dude and a babe staring at me and talking in some foreign language..probably German or Italian...not sure..
Anyways..the next thing I know..d dude walks u to me and he's like u r absolutely beautiful..can i take a picture of u..
Me...smiling..i was like...with me..hes like no..of u...as in just me in the picture..i thought it was a bit weird but me being the nice person that i am..i said thankyou and i struck a pose....Mind you some of my fellow dames were present and they were all laughing....and the lady that came with the dude was like no seriously...shes stunning..hehe...In my mind.....i was feeling like some super model...maybe it was the red hot striking mini dress i was wearing....naaahhh..i think it was just me..lmao!!
So..now my fellow dames and a few friends that we were all on the train together have been tormenting me ooo..saying they will probably use my picture for alterior motives especially since Italy is famous for trafficking naija babes for prostitution...hehe...OH WELL TOO LATE NOW...
So what says you?..would you have allowed a total stranger to take a picture of u??...should i be worried.....

Second Scenario
So I decided to go and meet my ex and have the "talk" he kept insisting we had, i was like whats d worst that could happen....he wants to talk ..then we 'll talk....Anyway...we meet up at a random coffee shop...i get there, take a seat..hi/hello..bla bla...hes like no hug..im like nope..lets keep the physical contact to a minimum(hehe) and then he smiles...i couldn't keep the straight face i had planned on keeping..lol..i smile back.....fast forward the usual talk...lets get to the point...what is it you wanna say that can't be said over the phone??
And then he starts talking about how he's sorry...and he took this long to beg cos he let his pride get the better of him..bla bla..he wants us to give it another such, he misses me...he'll change...yada yada yada....and then i burst out laughing!..oh yes..and hes like is this funny to u..i was like hell yeah....anyway...when he was done talking i was like well i've heard what you have to say but its a little too late....and he's like nope..nt too late....bla bla..we cn try and work things out....yada yada...
And then..me and my big mouth..i decided to yarn him abt abdul.....idk y i did that honestly..i am not sure if i wanted to see his reaction as per anger/jealousy or what but sha i did..and he's like..what i know that guy is he runzing you?...i ws like nah..we just got talking and we r friends...sha sha..after i saw his reaction i quickly changed the topic...and then I got up and said i had to leave since he was done talking...he goes..don't u have anything to say?..im like...err nope..really what were you expecting me to say?...and i call a taxi and left.
This was the afternoon before tokunbos party in the club....at the club now...this dude called me abt 15 times....to say what idk...when i got out of the club at 4 i text sayn wts up with the missed calls...next day he called back saying he just wanted to check on me make sure i was alright ..i was like...err..at 3am..since when did that one start??..lol...i sha said oh..thanks ooo i was having fun now that u asked...
Later that day..called again...call call call...its becoming a normal thing now....im like chill does dis dude think we r back together
Fast forward to 4 days later, I got a call fromm teni, his rilli good female friend that im friends with as well. This babe is like..hmmm u and ur big mouth ..u r all talk bla bla..im like chill now..what are you on about??....teni goes: hmmm who did u meet up with on friday...so u and him are back together abi...after u said this time ur break up was for good..bla bla...u just have mouth...i was like wooooaahhhh.....what r u on abt..we only met up to talk..who said anything abt being back together??..i was rather shocked and then to add to it all she was like i heard abdul is runzing u!!..I was like what?!....i was like who told u..shes like ur ex and my bf..in my mind im thinking how many people has dis boy told....
So now im thinking me not saying anything to this boy, he obviously assumed i accepted his apology....so i call with the intention of setting things straight but everytime i cal we just start gisting and i neva get to the point...so i stop calling...i sent a text instead...saing things r still hw they were before we had our talk....meaning we r not an item the talk didn't change anything..and he replies saying "what are you on about"...im like..OMG....how in the world am i gonna get this over and done with..so i spell it out a bit more explicitly and hes like he thinks we need to talk and he ll kal me when he cn explain a few things....at this point..i didn't even bother txting back...now im like what the hell is going on??!!!....

Third Scenario:
As I am talking to Teni, she tells me Abdul was dating her best friend Sayo...so now everything is getting a lil too complicated...my ex is friends with abdul whose ex girlfriend is best friends with my friend teni...ok.....now that is too close for concern...if am going to move on i need to venture to a different circle of people...and then initiall when I told teni about abdul...she was like oh..i think u shud go for it ..he sounds like a rilli nice guy bla bla...but now that she knows abdul is ABDUL..as in her best friends ex..shes like..well...i dont think u shud go ther...i mean my best fried is over him and all so dnt think i have anything to gain from this..but i still wouldn't go there...im like..ok..thanks for the info...and then she's like ..as for my ex..i know if he rilli likes a girl, he will beg and all but i wouldn't listen to him either..hes an unserious boy....so now im like...teni has cancelled out abdul and my ex for me...should I really listen to her???
And she also made it a point to say she had nothing to gain or lose from me getting back with my ex...oh and did i mention that her oter best friend tolu is also in love with my ex?..LOL...talk about complications in my life!!!

Well..to be honest..me i am just trying to have fun this summer jo, I am hella tired of having nothing to do..well since my folks have been around its been interesting cos we've just been shopping and visiting friends and stuff..
Did i mention my graduation was wet and BORIIIIIIIIIINGGGGGGGGG....i expected a lot more...but hey!!..i am a graduate.....WHOOPTIDOOOO!!

Okay this rant is getting waaaayyyy too long....will blog later this week.....I am sure I'll have more goss by then...oh and there is a new guy on the radar...John...but thats for my next post...till then...don't let my complicated life complicate ur head as u read...

The life of a topsy-turvy graduate!!!!!

Okay blogs ville i do actually have a very good reason why i havnt blogged in a while. so here it goes, BT is a bastard company, i swear!!! can u imagin my internet wasnt working and i called this people. After the very long hold and difficult dialogue we sha sha got to an understanding that i need an engineer to fix it and dat it would be fixed later that day. So one day, two days, three days, four days....infact as am remembering i still want to vex and change from BT but nt to lie sha dey give very good service their head is just big, secondly i no be the bill payer.

Yes i know that reason isn't valid for disappearing for weeks but i no fit explain everything to ya'll nw *wink* ......anyhoos back to the koko of this blogging , i am officially a GRADUATE.....yeepee! Graduated a few weeks back and although i was a bit disappointed with my result and the fact that with what i have the uni's i applied to for masters will not take me but i have moved pass dat and have become very gratefull to God. As my mum always says "olorun ku suuru" meaning "God is really patient". How did i go to school for 3yrs, wasnt hospitalised, didnt have to leave school b'cos of the loss of anybody, did all my exams, made good friends and finally graduated and am grunting for days about my result. I know people dat died while in school, some are not even graduating. Yes we not going to the same house but when you think about it it's all God's grace so i decided enough is enough oo ayanfe we shall be gratefull and i have been.

I love my family to death (u guyz shud get ready to hear dat often) as in i love them. The most supportive group of people (dnt jealous me people....lol).They have made me feel like i graduated with a first class. Do u knw about 25 people came for ma grad ceremony..... like really!!! its only my family that we had to take the group picture outside. lol. So my sister said to me "ayanfe its not what you have that makes you, its what you make of it that makes you". So instead of going to the great land of NAIJA i stayed and started all my applications again and yeah am still waiting for uni's to reply but dilemma has set in!! I got a great summer internship job at BGL. Basicly if i do the internship with them and i do well dey are willing to take me after i do my NYSC and pay me full time, they also said if i work for a year with them they can send me for my masters. So money isnt an issue here but they offered all this just based on a recommendation, so am really happy about it (and i took it as a sign that my luck is changing....SCHOOLS NEXT PLEASE! .hehehe) but now am very confused as to if i should go to naij and do the internship or just stay and finish sorting out my schools. Staying because the schools might send letters to me or ask for an interview OR going for the intenship because its actually a great opportunity as i intend to move home later in life.

By the way i decided to go home and do the internship although i would say the fact that ma whole fam is home n dey r havin too much fun while i wait influenced that decision small......lol. But on a serious note i want honest opinion as to if am doing the right thing cos if am questioning it something has to be wrong rite?....SO WHAT IS THIS TOPSY-TURVY GRADUATE TO DO???

Wow dat was a lot of ranting but on the side, i have been listening to yemi sax a lot lately...i find the whole sax thing so sweet and relaxing. The guy has mad talent i must say. ya'll should listen to some.....HASTA LUEGO!!


Love always
Ayanfe
