Life In a New City

Day 2
Sitting on the living room couch in my PJs, its 4:30pm and yours truly hasn't showered! lol..... Consequences of living in a new city with a different climate! Anyway its day two here and I'm still in the faffing committee and loving it, for i know what lies ahead of me in a week to come will be no joke nor will i find the time to blog! So enjoy me while you see me or rather, hear from me...

So as a foreigner in a new city it can be hard to adjust to the new environment; the roads, streets, shops, what to buy, what phone network to use and then which plan to subscribe to, which bank to open an account with etc etc etc! It can be all so overwhelming and confusing especially with no one to guide you.. But lucky for me I'm surrounded by family and friends who have been more than helpful in filling me in on whats great and what's not, so thanks guys!
I have quite abit of shopping to do and i don't want to do it alone, so who's game in joining me ladies? You never know what present might come out of it ;)...
Onto other conversation, looks like i'll be opening a second blog soon enough but this will be on my school's blog portal so unfortunately my spititout readers wont be able to have access to it :(.. But i won't completely abandon spititout, so fear not...

Its now 5:24pm, im still in my PJ's, still struggling to finish this post, half-watching a movie "Cop Out", chatting on blackberry and eating a bag of Doritos chips! This is "extreme faffing" at its peak! Lol, maybe that should have been the title of my post!

Anyway let me not bore you guys with my idle ranting, I'll go shower now and see what meal i can cook for myself for dinner! My lovely twinnie just sent me a bb msg telling me to cook her 'special ukazi soup'... i had to laugh and remind her ever so humbly and embarrassingly that yours truly is yet to make an "A"grade in the kitchen department! in other words, I can't cook Ukazi! But I'll learn........someday... ;)...

Ciao guys
Me!

THAT DAY

Hey guys, i'm just as shocked as you are that i haven't been here to blog in almost a month!! I haven't even started school and i'm already MIA!!! Oh dear, forgive me...
So i came to let you guys know briefly that, the day is finally here..... The day when i say goodbye to my folks and i leave home to start a new life in a new place with a new person, the day of my........engagement! Lol... ok i'm just kidding... Today is my departure day from the city of Eko o ni baje,  the city of Lagos!! Its been threee interesting years but finally its time to say goddbye or maybe not goodbye but 'Hasta Luego' (see you later in spanish)...
I feel kinda numb! Its weird...everyone has been asking how exxcited i am but i've truly got no answer to the question! Maybe cause i've been overwhelmed with preparations that i haven't had enough time lately to be euphoric about it all. However it is an exciting new opportunity and i'm thrilled to be at this point in my life filled with new beginnings!

Wish me luck guys and you bet i'll be back soon with more tales by daylight! ;)
