List 34: List the things that make you excited

Excited.

Balloons.

I have a bunch of balloons I "took" from IMAX and put them up in my room and every morning I look up at them I am so happy and excited it is ridiculous.

Helping people.
I'm really excited when I can provide solutions for people.
And its in everything.
I'm happiest providing solutions.


Eating out
Food. and not having to do dishes.
Win-Win.

Travelling
I own a travel blog- nuff said

Writing

Reading

SHOPPINGGGGGGGGG and receiving delivery items.

This part of my life is called - happyness

AKA


getting ready for my vacation this week.
I've written about the struggle on my travel blog.
That tickles me everytime I write it.

Travel blogger. Ha.

Looking for a saloon where I can get mustard nails done.

Looking for someone to send me GBP to my barclays card. ( I know)

Also super super excited about my vacation.

Need to go loan a camera from my friend and put my new shiny photography skills to use. :)

Still trying to put together a playlist so.

Yeah

Yeah

I'm good. Life is good.

Currently

Listening non stop to

You tell me fuck you with the lights on

And I always answer my phone

I love this remix so much, it's proof that the LOML Diplo hears my hearts desires and is interested in fulfilling them

Ty dolla sign's verse.

*fans self*

Word on the twitter streets is that: Wiz kid is bringing him to lagos in December.

Hayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy.

And you already know I'm putting my December calendar together.

Reading

and stopping to cry at intervals because overwhelmed.

I am literally cancelling plans to read this book because WHATTTT?

I feel like I can relate so strongly with HRC and just reading this and affirming my feeling

I know what it's like to be a certain way and people judge you because 

you might not be as expressive or unable to convey how you feel because of

preconceived notions about you.

She talks a lot about failing and the lessons of humility that come with it and I can reallllly relate with that. Really really.

Whatever the case I am intensely proud of HRC. and what happened was " She is a woman" and now now now you people have trump. hahahahahaha. 

Feeling

Happy. 

Content

but for some reason consistently tired and sleepy.

Attempting

To pack for my next vacation.

Visa's sorted so I'm mentally trying to combine out fits

To compile a playlist for my next vacation and I'm having the time of my life just rediscovering the songs I like to travel to. 

Contemplating

Not checking in luggage for this trip.

Color of nail polish I should use

If I should go to Dubai for my birthday or London?

Or if I should stay in Lagos and have a house party.

List 33: List the ways that you are a leader

I think it's just one.

I organize.

Literally I show up and somehow I'm running things making sure that everyone is fine and everything is going as planned.

It is actually ridiculous. It happens at parties. Cleaning up, Volunteer work.

Everything

I just get there and sort of take charge.

It would be the best thing if I can find a way to monetize it to be honest.

But alas.

Throw back and a bit of hand running through my hair.

Do you ever think when you're all alone

All that we can be, where this thing can go?

Am I crazy or falling in love?

Is it real or just another crush?

Do you catch a breath when I look at you?

Are you holding back like the way you do?

Throw back.

This song takes me back back back to better times heart wise.

Itunu had her '00KaraokethemedParty over the weekend.

I lost my voice but I had such an amazing amazing amazing time.

Gosh

I think I'm still recovering.

You know how when you know you shouldn't make poor choices but you do anyway because  fuck it?

Yeah I think that's where I am at.

I had a really really really good weekend and I think I am going to spend the rest of the month trying to decide on what it is I want from life.

I'm in a really good place because everyone keeps telling me " You are so happy", You are so free, you are living your best life and I'm like you guys my best life would me being a swimsuit model but here we are, navigating Lekki traffic daily.

Ps: I got put on a project and I'm so pleased with the out come

I kept wondering why my body hurt all over- Turns out I ran 5km on saturday morning then went to the market THEN partied till morning.

I also didn't do my nails last week so I'm literally riding these ones out to the death.

My next vacation no one is checking in luggage and I'm just like hayyy, Can I do this?

We investigate.

Know thy self and other short stories

After an argument about my love language,

I took a quiz and turns out

The person I was arguing with was right.

Would you look at that.

Turns out my two top love languages are 1. Receiving gifts and 2. Physical Touch.

If you asked me a yesterday I would have said QT and Acts of Service.

Ah well, we live and we learn.

Still slightly shocked that the person was right.

I swear I only started giving things away as gifts because, it's hard to keep your whole life from  three bedrooms into one.

But alas.

You do not need to be the new Dubai, when you are already Lagos- Duh.

What T told me- when I told him Lagos boys don't really want situtationships.

You know what you need to do?

You need to leave this baby boy life alone,

get you one boy focus on him and catch all the feelings.

There is too much bullshit out there.

32: List the ways you get energized

1- Sleep.
If I shower and sleep and put the AC on, the quality of my sleep is sooo good.
It's almost like magic.

So explain to me why I do not shower everynight?


2- Helping people solve their problems

This one is really weird because I'm super inconvinenced yet somehow I manage to make it work.

3-Working out
Strange supposed to be tired but somehow will find strength to do alllll the other crazy things I kinda wanna do.

4- Reading a book
Reading is one of my first loves and is my true true truest pleasure.
Every vacation I read the alchemist.
Every year it gets better- maktub.

Booty Call, Ready and Out

From the bottom,
I spent the long weekend out.
Literally.

Thursday was my girl's birthday and we went to bottles to celebrate with her.
Before that we caught up at Ikoyi club, and ended up having guinea fowl with the daddies in squash section.
Which, let me tell you- Sugar baby life will fit me DIE.
After which we ended up at 57.
Got a message from my Sugar Baby and popped in to say hey to him with my home girl.

When I called him to tell him I would be coming with my friend, he said
"Why are you bringing a body guard?"
Me: LOL

Good times.

Friday thankfully work free was spent in bed. Recuperating. Recovering. Resting and getting ready.

My girl Uloh got into town, and went to see an art opening with her.
After which we went to get table top dancing at Velvett.
Ps: Velvett is my SPOT. I love it.
And ran into everyone in Lagos.

My boy Deji brought me sallah meat that I shared with the bouncers at the door and now we are in a committed relationship. (Velvett & I- not the bouncer).

Also DJ Crowd Kontroller at Velvett is THE VERY ONE. I love him.

Left the club on Friday and spent the night at my girls house.
Contemplated stabbing her gateman because he was acting a damn fool.

Saturday
Spent the day in bed.
Then gave myself a dilke scrub rub down and general pampering
my girls came over to wardrobe co-ordinate and have lunch. we ate eba and vegetable with cow leg and cake with iced tea infused with cuban rum and some water.
Then I went back to bed

Woke up at 9 and started getting ready for my friends wedding.
Fun Fun Fun.
From the wedding went to Velvett and then to 57 after which i drove home dead tired but you know ready for the beach the next day

Sunday
Church harvest at my mothers church that went on FOREVER. aka beach cancelled.
went to support my girl Steph at a thing she was doing in VI.
Good times.
Then went to a Sallah Party ( first one all holiday).
And the rice was so sweet. Jesus.
I took some meat away and I still had some meat this morning.

Fast forward to 9pm ended up at Slay doing karaoke.
fastforward further to 12 and Itunu is messaging me about drinks at Churascos.
I say no.

I get home and crawl into bed.
Ps: I did not drink a drop of alcohol ALL WEEKEND.
Not a single drop.
Ate like a pig tho, so ojoro cancel.

Monday
I stop by at my friend's - for lack of a better word- house and he has some work to catch up on.
we are talking. just catching up and he speaks about an article he wrote and he was shy to share it,
so I say oh the one we talked about and he said
"Oh we spoke about that? I thought I was just your booty call"
Me *pulls up article and reads it out loud*

When we are done catching up, I leave to sugarcane to have lunch with my home girl and her friend from work.

Cool stuff.

Fastforward to after lunch, a brief stop at my sugar baby's house and then back to ICF to have desert with Uloh before we head out to the airport to drop her off.

I tell them about the conversation. and she said " You said you are looking for king and you did not re-assure him when he said that, This is not the attitude of someone looking for a king".

My other friend chips in,
" You know, maybe you aren't ready"

And I realize that I'm never going to be one of those people whose social media is stuffed with photos and captions of king followed by really cheesy shit.

You know.

I mean, I was with Eros forever and I didn't have any of those, perhaps, I really don't have the range.

And you know what?

That's okay.
