Thanks...

to everyone who sent me Christmas wishes..i appreciate the love honestly..Hope you all had fun and may the new year bring limitless blessings for you all.
On the 25th, i spent a better part of the day at home, but i went out later in the evening with my best girl..We didn't do anything extraordinary but i had mad fun.. No boyfriend wahala, just "emi ati ore mi". We ate and watched home videos..lol!! This one is called "The wrong woman". I just love nigerian love stories. What was supposed to be a heated love scene between Ini Edo and Kalu Ikeagwu had us saying "eeeewwwwwww" digustedly..lol. I dont know why but most Nigerian movies fail to evoke the intended emotion. most times, the reverse is the case. oh well, ore mi made a delicacy she likes to call "pasta salad". it was so nice that i stuffed myself with it and had a bad case of overfeeding. As soon as i got home, i jumped on my bed without even bothering to change and woke up at 2pm the next day. lmao!!


I was so in love with the delicacy that i even took a pic..lol!!



Well today im gonna let y'all enjoy a sneak preview of my book..Its titled REFLECTIONS and its set in the city of Port-Harcourt in Nigeria..
Enjoy.....

" It was a market day in the city of Port-Harcourt in Nigeria and Eleme junction was crowded with people hurrying to the big market known as oil mill". The time was 1pm and the sun was scorching.Hawkers were everywhere selling 'pure water' and other items, the honks of trailers were deafening and passing vehicles emmited thick black smoke.
Amidst the hustling and bustling of the busy crowd, a young girl of about 25 years of age was walking up the street tiredly. She was chocolate colored and tall, she had slightly brown hair and a very lovely figure. Her shoes were covered with dust and she looked rather dejected.
She had been on the main road for the past hour trying to get a cab or a bus to school all to no avail. As usual, on a market day like this, there was always difficulty in getting any form of transportation. She was seriously debating going home when finally, a bus pulled into the curb in front of her. All of a sudden, there was a mad rush as people from nowhere it seemed, made a frenzied dash for the bus. As she struggled to get into the bus, a very bulky woman pushed her aside roughly and climbed clumsily into the bus. The conductor announced that the bus was full, and the driver drove away leaving a cloud of dust behind.
As she stared at the leaving vehicle, she felt her eyes water. She had just had a row with her sister and had stormed out of the house with hopes of going to sort out some things in school. Now that plan seemed abortive, since getting a cab to school was fruitless. She heaved a deep sigh and started walking down the street in a trance-like state. As she was crossing the road, she almost got hit by a cab driver and the passengers angrily abused her. "You no go look where you dey go? Foolish girl!! abi you wan die?". She hardly heard them. she just kept going until finally, she reached a roadside kiosk. As she took a seat on one of the benches near the kiosk, she looked at a nearby billboard and the image of a very beautiful woman smiled down at her. a tear rolled down her right cheek and suddenly, she felt as if she was looking into the image of her almost shattered life"
**************************************
Just an idea of what to expect from the book you guys. So what do you think about it?? be sure to share your thoughts on that.

Moving on to other things..Whats your new year resolution? i haven't decided what mine is. every year, i have a new year resolution but for some reason, i only stick to it for the first two months of the year, and after that, it's back to fashingaa's lifestyle..Lol!! oh well, lets hope this year is different..

Have a fun-filled weekend luvs...its time for me to take a bow..later luvs..kisses!!!!

HO HO HO!!!!!!





Merry Christmas y'all...It's 3 in the morning and i just cant get my eyes to stay shut... I just got off the phone with my friend after singing a christmas carol for her in my nightingale voice (yeah right!! lol)
I'm so happy that God has given me the opportunity to be here today..
I just want to wish everyone a blessed christmas and a bountiful new year

JINGLE BELLS

Dashing through the snow, in a one-horse open sleigh,
Over the fields we go, laughing all the way.
Bells on bob-tails ring, making spirits bright,
What fun it is to ride and sing a sleighing song tonight.

Chorus
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way!
O what fun it is to ride in a one-horse open sleigh.

A day or two ago, I thought I'd take a ride
And soon Miss Fanny Bright, was seated by my side;
The horse was lean and lank, misfortune seemed his lot;
He got into a drifted bank and we got upsot

(Chorus)

A day or two ago, the story I must tell
I went out on the snow, and on my back I fell;
A gent was riding by, in a one-horse open sleigh
He laughed as there I sprawling lie but quickly drove away

(Chorus)

Now the ground is white, go it while you're young
Take the girls tonight, and sing this sleighing song;
Just get a bob-tailed bay, two-forty as his speed
Hitch him to an open sleigh and crack! you'll take the lead

(Chorus)

JOY TO THE WORLD

Joy to the world! the Lord is come;
Let earth receive her King;
Let every heart prepare Him room,
and heaven and nature sing,
and heaven and nature sing,
and heaven, and heaven and nature sing.

Joy to the earth! the Savior reigns;
Let men their songs employ;
while fields and floods,
rocks, hills and plains
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat the sounding joy,
Repeat, repeat the sounding joy.

No more let sins and sorrows grow,
nor thorns infest the ground;
He comes to make His blessing flow
far as the curse is found,
far as the curse is found,
far as, far as the curse is found.

He rules the world with truth and grace,
and makes the nations prove
the glories of His righteousness,
and wonders of His love,
and wonders of His love,
and wonders, wonders of His love.




Now i can sleep i peace (i hope!!) and like Tu face will say, "one luv my people"..Kisses!!!!!

Enjoy these marriage 'philosophies'
Marriage lecture 101

Marriage is not a word. It is a sentence--a life sentence.


Marriage is very much like a violin; after the sweet music is over, the strings are attached.

Marriage is love. Love is blind. Therefore, marriage is an institution for the blind.

Marriage is an institution in which a man loses his Bachelor's Degree and the woman gets her Masters.

Marriage is a thing which puts a ring on a woman's finger and two under the man's eyes.

Marriage certificate is just another word for a work permit.

Marriage is not just a having a wife, but also worries inherited forever.

Marriage requires a man to prepare 4 types of "rings":
* The Engagement Ring
* The Wedding Ring
* The Suffe-Ring
* The Endu-Ring

So before you get married, think very hard!! or don't you agree with the lecture?? lol!!!

More truths about the institution called Marriage:

Love is one long sweet dream, and marriage is the alarm clock.

They say when a man holds a woman's hand before marriage, it is love; after marriage, it is self-defense.

A husband is what's left of the lover after the nerve has been extracted. -- Helen Rowland

Love: An obsessive delusion that is cured by marriage.

Abi you no gree?? lol!!
Well im gonna take a bow now...hope y'all had fun cos i know i did..Later luvs..Kisses!!!

Celebrity focus!!-- One more day to go











One more day to go and its Christmas.. We keep drawing nearer and nearer to the new year.. A few weeks ago, i was going through so much in my life and i was so downcast and depressed but all that has changed now because i realize that nobody and nothing is worth robbing me of my joy. The truth of the matter is that life is complex and it cant always be rosy and smooth.. Challenges are bound to come, difficult times and highly depressing moments.. but the most important thing is how well you can handle those moments..will you give in, or be strong?? This question is very important because, whatever you do after that will either make or break you.
Right now, i feel so refreshed and ready to take on the world!!! i'm singing to the lyrics of Genevieve's song "No more crying oooo, no more tears ooo, ive got my freedom, power and more" LOL!!
Well today i'm going to talk about a very spectacular person who i consider to be an inspiration to women...at least i know she's been an inspiration to me.. She's what i like to call my "Celeb focus" of the week..

TY BELLO
To some, she known as one of the three members of the former gospel group KUSH that ruled the airwaves with their amazing song 'lets live together'. To others, she's known as the incredible photographer who captures the world with the click of her camera. To me, she's a great source of inspiration. I love to see women do outstanding things because it motivates me. In a profession that is greatly dominated by men, TY Bello continues to stand out.
She's a very creative photographer..she captures the simple things of life and makes them beautiful.

Ty Bello is also a very talented musician and the songs in her album are a delight to the ears... hear her “Art is about collecting experiences and expressing them. For me music and photography are similar art forms. I collect experiences, stir them in myself and express it in my own language. Just like my photography, music is my language.”
Ty is a multi-talented woman, she stages an annual photography exhibition to raise funds for orphans across the country. She is also a Director of Link-a-child; an NGO dedicated to propagating information on orphanages in Nigeria.


In anything you do, try to be an inspiration and a role model to people.. That's my message for y'all today..
Now im gonna take my bow as usual...Later luvs...Kisses.. Muaah!!!!

Wedding fever!!

Wow..I cant believe this year is almost over..It seems like just yesterday when we were counting down to usher in the new year.
Well this year holds a lot of memories and experiences for me. I've had incredibly happy moments, terrifying ones, exciting moments..Heck!! i even got my heart broken this year but at the end of the day, all these experiences are what make up the wonderful year 2008.
In the Nigerian entertainment industry, the year 2008 has also seen a lot of people say "i do". There were quite a number of weddings actually, that it amazed me.. I cant help but be happy for all the newlyweds.. I hope God gives them the grace to remain married..
Niyi Tabiti and Tejumola

Chris Okotie and Stephanie Henshaw

Julius Agwu and Ibiere

Ay and Mabel

Cecil Hammond and Keke

Ini Edo and Phillip

Abolare Akande and Toni payne

Lanre aka Eldee and Dolapo

and finally, my friends and favourite couple, Nomoreloss and Phoenix


These are only a few of the numerous weddings this year...

A special congratulations goes to the beautiful Annie Macaulay on the birth of her baby girl...Annie was delivered of Tu baba's fifth child on the 10th of december, and i'm so happy for her..May she be blessed with all the strength and wisdom she needs to be a mother..



Also, my sincere and heartfelt congratulations to Tu Face on the birth of his child and also, on the release of his third album titled "Unstoppable". Included in this 19 track album is the much anticipated collaboration 'Flex' which features the R 'n' b crooner, R.kelly.
I definitely gat love for Tu Face but i'm not sure if i'm really impressed with the duet.. Riz, an upcoming artiste also covered "Flex' earlier on this year and i honestly feel that he did a better job..but hey!! thats just my own opinion, i'll let you guys be the judge of that...


Listen to the song below

As for me, i'm off to get the last of my christmas gifts..i've got a lot of wrapping to do, and i think you should do same too,if you haven't already. Christmas is a time for giving and showing loved ones that you care.. Just like im showing y'all that i care by blogging..lol!!
Now its time for me to take a bow as usual..Later luvs.. Kisses!!!!
