hehehehhe...lol..

Hey Lovies,

Now I think I'm on a blog roll. I can't stop typing. I tire for myself o. I've signed off for 2013 a couple of posts ago but here I am still posting. I just had to come and give y'all small gist.

Soooooo, what had happened was that, there is this guy at my "triple A group" who just mentioned that he likes me. As in he likes me, Savannah. Choii, "singing.... God na helele, God e na waya oo, nobody be like am, nobody dey like am, eh oo, wan ne God e na helele".
Ok, back to tory matter. This bros is a gentleman as far as I know, let's just call him Jide. Jide na yoruba, but I'm not so I had never really looked at him like that like that. You know what I mean now ehn. As per single woman concern, it is your duty to know about and of the eligible bachelors at your church, place of work or anywhere two or more gather. I had generally done a once over sweep over him and determined that he was a nice guy but maybe not the first in line sha.
I went out yesterday and ran into him. We sort of live in the same city so it was not unusual to have crossed paths. We exchanged pleasantries and all and 'ol boy was grinning from ear to ear. I was asking myself "how the thing dey do this guy now? Why is he so happy?" Not knowing the bros was staring at a flower in the garden that he wanted to pluck.

So sha, after about 10 minutes of talk sha, we went our separate ways. Yours truly was getting shy at some point cos Jide was just cheesing from ear to ear. I got home and gbam, a text message came in; my dear Sav, you sure was looking beautiful when I saw you. I could barely take my eyes off you (that explains the cheesing). I responded back "thank you... eeya" kind of reply. Next thing I know, bros just hammer ground and said, "I like you and would like to spend time getting to know more about you. I've always been intrigued by you, and clearly very attracted to you. I would be honored if we can spend time together before I leave town".
At this time, this song "God that answereth by fire, let Him be my God" just burst forth in my head. But how am I supposed to respond to Jide's request now? The thing is, I had just made up my mind on Christmas day that in 2014, I was not going to be looking for a relationship. I was going to let a relationship find me instead. I wasn't going to succumb to pressure about settling down from friends and family (none of them has contributed to my Dr's appointment co-pay for all the visits I've had to visit due to their stress).
If I meet a great guy, fine. Otherwise, life continues beautifully. All those sexy lingerie and clothes that I had been keeping to wear when I get married, are all coming out to be worn for my very own appreciation. Biko, if clothes had expiration dates, all of them would have expired by now.

Back to Jide; there's nothing wrong with him like that..like that o, it's just that I've never thought of him in that sense. It's kind of like this ehn, you usually drive a BMW or a Mercedes, and all of a sudden someone dashes you a full options Toyota or Honda, and you're starring at the car, realizing that although it is not a BMW or Mercedes, it serves the exact same purpose which is to get you from point A to point B. And a ride in a full options Toyota or Honda is quite enjoyable too.

Hummmmm......I tire o. What's a girl to do? Take the Toyota\Honda for a test drive with an open mind or chill and wait for a BMW or Mercedes?

Toodles....

Love is a beautiful thing.

To have or not to have a New Year Resolution

8:00 PM 0 Comments A+ a-

Hello Lovies,

I don't know if you are as amazed as I am that another year is upon us. I mean, wasn't it just like January 2013 a few days ago? How did we get to the last days of 2013? This is really beyond me I swear.
So what do you do as a new year approaches? Do you make resolutions? Do you come up with new traditions? What do you do to usher in the new year?

I'm a church girl so I usher in the new year at service in church. You know a part of me is always nervous on the 31st (we call this service "Watch Night Service"). I'm always nervous that what if Christ decides to return on like the last second before the new year? Will I make it to heaven? Will everyone in church at that moment make it to heaven? Can or will any crazy thing happen?
Thankfully, nothing has or will happen - In Jesus Name I pray. Amen. Someborry shout halleluyah.......... ok service is over.
loll....
Ok, so I used to make resolutions but I'm sure no one held a better record at breaking them like I did so I've stopped making resolutions for a few years now. I do however take some time to ponder at what happened through the year. I look back and see God's Grace at times when I didn't even realize it. I look back and think of that friend to start avoiding. I look back at my career and think hummmmm, I look at my love life and do a triple hummmmmmmmmmm.....lol.. but all in all, I am so grateful for the gift of life. I truly am from the old school of thought that when there is life, there is hope. No dead person is able to take stock of their life no matter how good or bad it is so for this alone, you and I must be thankful.

I'm not making any resolutions per se, or maybe I am but I choose not to voice them or write them down. In fact I chose not to affirm them to myself in any form. I mean, I would like for certain things to happen but it's not really the end of the world if they don't happen.
I'm looking at 2014 like an unwrapped gift box. A box with many layers of beautiful gift wrapper. The gift wrappers on their own are made of gold and silk, beautiful to behold, amazing to touch. I wouldn't want to rip them off, I want to peel them back gently so I can re-purpose them before I now finally get to the gift box itself. I can't wait till December 2014 to see the bottom content of my gift box. What has God got in store for me this year?
Are you curious to know what's in store for you?

Whatever the case, I wish you all of the best. May all of your heart's desires come to pass in 2014. Amen.

Life dey Naija

Hello Lovies,

I promise you that in this upcoming 2014, there will be a weekly post from me. In the meantime please enjoy this sporadic posts from me.
So one of my lovies -very correct omo eleh like got married recently and yours truly attended by God's Grace. The whole wedding weekend was beyond awesome! It made me think "choiii, na naija life dey biko". As in! I had fun. We all had fun. It was off the chain.

Not only was I in town to have fun, but I needed to tie up some lose ends and to see someone in person. There was this one guy who I had known for a long time -since high school days; however he was one of dem scripture union guys back then. If you remember clearly then, they even used to have this funny way of walking - they used to push their yansh forward instead of backwards like traffic causing girls like to do. I never understood the yansh forward thing then cos I was wondering if they were making all attempts to make sure their butt was unattractive to the opposite sex? Someone please help me out here.
Anyway, this guy started harassing me on facebook and we became friends. Yes, just friends. nothing else. He never asked me out and I was never attracted to him in that sense but I respect and admire him as a person. He's an admirable young man doing his thing and I couldn't be more proud of a man who is a self made man. So 3 yrs into our friendship this guy starts asking me to marry him. I was like oginni, now you want to marry me? Well, as interesting as the whole thing sounded, I just wasn't feeling him and I really don't want a marriage of convenience. He expressed his love and what not over and over again and try as I did, I just couldn't develop any serious feeling about him. Aside from no love erupting from me, I've always felt he is childish - a tad immature for me.

 How did I come about this conclusion? By him reporting his own self to me. He was always getting into verbal altercations with people in his business and I was always appalled at his choice of words at addressing such issues. I would give my opinion sometimes and advise that he go back and handle things differently. Sometimes he would listen and sometimes he wouldn't - which was fine anyways.
Through this 2013 he continued on his "marry me" voyage but I wasn't convinced based on many more reasons I would skip here. One of these times I suggested that we just remain friends and perhaps future business partners. Mehn, this guy flipped at this suggestion. There was nothing he didn't say to me on the epistle he wrote to me. I had to read and reread the email when it came in. Let's just say it started with "what effrontery you have at suggesting that we be friends when I said I want to marry you. Who do you think you are Savannah...........". Dear readers, fear catch me. It was like the guy had a temporary loss of his mind just because I said NO to his proposal.
He un-friended me on facebook to buttress his point. I kuku didn't flinch. I was quiet the entire time and didn't even bother saying much. The only response he got from me was "all of these because I said No? Now i know I had good reasons for saying No". After 3 weeks, he came back begging. I accepted his apology and accepted his friend request on FB again.
Through the rest of the year, I've been convinced he is NOT the one. He kept asking for an answer to his proposal and my answer was always NO, along with explanations about my other concerns.

So sha, when I was in town, I decided to see him so I could tie that end up for good. We had lunch and we went over the whole thing again. 2 days after that lunch, he starts again that now that he has seen me in person again (yes, he's seen me the year before), he realizes even more he really wants me. I was telling myself that didn't we just meet to close this chapter? I explained to him again that it wouldn't work. Dear readers, all hell let lose again!  My goodness....I was at tears by the time the 20th text message came from him that night. I had to un-friend him from FB and block his numbers. I just can't deal.

Have a fantastic New Year and see you weekly starting from next week. 2014, here we come!
