My weekend

I've missed my blog this last few days.. Remember my story on "the art of scheming", well yeah i still got to go to PH and all i can say is that i went at the right time! Between getting decent  work done between Wednesday and Friday, visiting home to see my folks, getting a  much needed home service pedicure and relishing my mommas cooking, the weekend was fabulous!

List of food consumed in 2 days:
1. Beans with fish and stew
2. Fried plantain and sweet potato with carrot stew and oats
3. Cake and juice
4. Oha soup with pounded yam and animals
5. Chapman and spring rolls
6. French toast (bread fried in eggs and milk)
7. Fish pepper-soup with white rice
8. Fried rice with Chicken
9. Goat-meat pepper-soup
10. Fruit salad after every dinner.

After the list above can someone please tell me why I've not moved from this stressful Lagos and not living under my father's roof?! Lol!
I had fun and i wish i could afford to fly home every weekend just to see my beautiful's mother face, my handsome father's stylish hats and to enjoy food from their pot! Lool..

So that's how my weekend was... how was yours? Tell me what you ate! :)

4 ever me..

TGIF

I just lost everything i typed! I don't know how it happened but i ain't finding it funny.

Anyway I'll start again. So i was saying that i wonder why everyone keeps saying TGIF when Monday will only come back so quickly, you'd wonder what you did with your weekend anyways! For those blackberry users, animated funny DPs (display pictures) expressing joy over TGIF is a common sight on Fri! While on Sunday night or Monday Mornings, animated even funnier DPs of poor ole "Monday" sitting in a psychologists chair, asking why everybody hates it is a regular hilarious sight! Um in response to that question, duh!!! Of course they hate Monday, its the beginning of the work week! They like to not have to wake up so early (notice i used 'they'?) I exclude myself as i can't say I'm doing badly in the sleep department seeing as i wake at 7am in Lagos??!!!! Unbelievable right? Well not for me! I live precisely 8 minutes away from my office, so you see I'm veryy lucky to not know what the madt traffic in this town is like.(i hope it stays this way)
So anyway back to TGIF talk, Monday or Friday, its all the same to me since I normally don't have much planned out for the weekend (being the 'dry/boring' gal i am).
For this weekend I'm jet-setting to my sisters house to spend it with my cute Lil banana (nephew) whom i absolutely adore. You see my flat-mates are MIA, one is off to the UK, and the other.........i don't know where in God's green earth he is.........all i can say to him is, rent la waste! So i can't imagine myself all alone in our semi-big three bedroom apartment wondering what the rest of the world is doing outta the house on Saturday!
Sequel to my last post, i never thought i would be in Lagos this Saturday, smh...scheming scheming gone ditching! Sobs....

Anyway its 4:37 and i'm quarter to leave....sooo...... have fun people! Chinny is leaving the building....

Hasta luego!    

Coco-C or Y.. (whatever works for ya!)

The art of scheming

I had it all figured out in my head... What dress to wear, purse in hand, matching earrings and shoes and hair accessory to adorn myself for the wedding on Saturday in PH. All that was left was the ticket to fly...

My friend's wedding is on Saturday and i want to attend it. I didn't make early plans to attend so of course i didn't book a ticket in advance...twas a spontaneous or last minute decision to attend the wedding when i realized i could harness my talent of scheming to actually be at the wedding but not on my cost! I'll fill you in...
So here i am wondering how to "suddenly have something come up in PH" (work-wise) when i remembered that a certain someone is always asking me to take initiative! So i thought to myself, this is your chance to take initiative and be proactive! So i make 'something suddenly come up in PH' so i can get to fly out to kill two birds with one stone! hehehe... think of me as the artful schemer ;).. So anyway little Miss Proactive Schemer, gets an A-okay to work in PH for the rest of the week starting from today and I'm smiling inside me from ear to ear.
So i have them book me a flight for this afternoon so i can take my time to get a little work done here, dash home to pack my stuff and be on the late afternoon flight to the south-south of 9ja, my original home. Heck I've called my mum two days in advance to announce my arrival! Then he drops the bombshell on me....."Miss, cancel your flight, you'll go next week"!!!!!!!!! "Of course i say yes as fast as an answer is required but inside me my stomach just churned".. Artful schemer my foot! I just shot myself in the foot if you ask me :(
Reason for cancellation? Well my associate who I'm to meet with in PH "suddenly had something come up" and he has to be here in Lag so i get to stay back to meet him here! Great!!

And so here i am moping and kicking myself for not booking a flight in advance all because of  'awoof', which don purge me now! Hisssss....

Warning: Don't try to scheme, it just might shoot you in the foot! Boy will my sisters laugh at me for bragging of my scheming tactics! :-P
