Just Keep Moving..!

Happy New Month peeps!!How y'all doin? Hope good!
It's been a pretty long minute but I guess we know how life gets in the way*wink*

Anyways,in the course of my thoughts and few experiences over the last few days, the thought kept popping in my head.."Just keep moving!"

It is about 30days to the end of 2016.
We thank God for getting us this far.
Many were alive,  hale and hearty this time last year,  even last week and are no more today.
Sadly many of us have lost friends,  colleagues, neighbours, coworkers or even loved ones in the course of this year.
I choose to say I am not just lucky but I am blessed and so are you..if you are reading this!
Are you still wondering why I just said that?

Ok lemme break it down some more..*smiles*
Having realised we are coming to the year's end,some people might want to beat themselves up for not achieving what they resolved to do at the beginning or even middle of this year..but guess what? The fact that you can even see a new day..not to talk of a new year clearly shows you have been given another chance to achieve again..that's what makes you blessed!

Making time for life doesn't just mean making time to enjoy your life but making sure you also appreciate times when you stumble..keeping in mind that it's another opportunity to rise again from that fall!
No matter how bad that failure is...it's a lesson on experience that you carry with you to prepare you for success ahead!
I cannot but mention how thankful I am for achieving a lot this year but according to my list of goals,I sure have to get over those I couldn't achieve and keep pushing towards achieving what I can..as long as I have been blessed to be alive!
What will be of greater regret to me is... thinking back later in life about risks I never took or dreams I didn't pursue ..so rather than regretting/wishing later...I'll rather fall,get up...dust my feet and keep moving because where there's life..there sure is hope!
The truth is...if you wish to climb up to the top,there's no such thing as a smooth mountain! There are sharp ridges that must be stepped over.




There will be times you will get stressed and things you will get depressed over....but guess what?
Did you know Steven Spielberg was rejected from film school about 3times but he just kept moving!
Did you know TV execs fired Oprah, saying she wasn't fit for TV, but she just had to keep moving!
Would you believe it if I told you that critics told Beyonce that she couldn't sing and she even went through depression,but she knew she had to keep moving!

Well...as I stop here on this post,let us remember we have been given a gift called LIFE so let's not blow it !
Just keep moving before time runs out!

Till my next post,live...laugh..love and stay blessed!

The Healer and The Analyst

Helloooo peeps!Hope you're doing ok!
I'm sure you are wondering who the healer or analyst is?Hahahaha!

Well...it's the title and function of the amazing Zodiac sign called Virgo!People who are born between Aug 23 and Sept 22 fall under this interesting sign!
This is certainly not just about the Zodiac sign..Virgo. It's just a post I decided to write about while celebrating the Virgo season and the interesting qualities people under this sign possess...of cos the main reason being that I am Virgo and my birthday was September7th !  LOL!
Even though you aren't a Virgo,you just might have a sibling, friend or colleague who is ..or infact your partner might be Virgo..so dont run off cos you might learn a thing or 2*wink*

I know I have always had this issue of not feeling sleepy early enough at night and this dates back to my school days. I would always wanna run around doing stuff during the day and then settle down at night to read my books till morning! My senses suddenly become sharper and my brain just becomes more in tune with what I need to read!Till this very day...I still find myself wide-eyed in the AM's reading stuff(on my phone though),listening to music,thinking about my goals,meditating over thoughts I need to pursue..etc, even after drinking stuff to make me sleep!
Most Virgos can't sleep at night (insomnia) because they are overthinkers and their thinking and analytical minds keep them awake!*sighs* 

Anyways..I recall a hangout with my friends a few months back..where a lot of us hadnt seen ourselves since college and we all started giving our opinions about each other!I was amazed when majority had some things to say bout me...one of which was ,I will always give an honest advice,regardless of whether it hurts or not! Hmmm..I wasn't quite sure if this was a compliment but I took it in good stride!LOL!

Well..the truth is majority's of Virgos will always hear you out,think of a way to solve your issue and if asked,would give an honest opinion about it cos they don't bullshit..so whether you like it or not..they'll be honest!
They don't just give advice because it sounds good but because it's realistic and logical!
People will think of them as quiet because they have a way of not opening their mouth unless they are absolutely sure of what they are gonna say or how they are gonna say it. They are articulate and this helps them pass across their message effectively.
This is why they are also good story-tellers ,especially when it comes to true stories!*wink*

When a Virgo doesn't want to be bothered..you will know*smiles* They find it hard to hide their anger or when they get irritated!

Infact,when they get tired of ur bullshit,they will just act like you don't exist and anything you do won't mean anything to them..trust me!
Now for this trait..some will call it switching off but I call it shutting down!*sighs*

Virgos are hardworking...not just working hard on a job but working smart enough to achieve what they are pursuing!They are go-getters and highly intelligent so they will do everything they possibly can to achieve that goal because it takes a lot for them to sit back and let someone else take charge!*smiles*

Another amusing trait is Virgos are naturally beautiful and sexy...effortlessly! The best part about a Virgo woman is that her outer beauty is perfectly proportional to her inner beauty!They have a suave yet quiet way that catches the eyes of many!


Welll..my parting line on the wonderful sign that is titled as Healer and has a function as The Analyst...Virgos will never fail to amaze you because they are hard to please,hard to keep up with..and even harder to know!*LOL*

Yeah..yeah..I know we are toooo much but trust me,I am still learning some things about my interesting personality!*covering my face*
Wellll...on that note,if you have any additions or opinions contrary to what I just shared,please feel free to share*smiles*
Till my next post..live,love,laugh and of cos stay blessed!

Is It Your Attitude or Your True Personality?

Is there really a difference between one's personality and one's attitude??
Welll..to be honest I think there's quite a difference between the two.

Thinking about it now...there are hot-tempered peeps who don't surprise you with their temper so when they blow up..at least it's something you already expect and you waive it off knowing that's how they are(their personality)!...But the quick-tempered peeps could be a little different because the outburst just comes from nowhere right in the middle of a discussion..leaving u shocked and speechless like a statue(their attitude)!!LOL!*smh*

Funny enough,I think everyone's attitude could differ at anytime... but what makes the difference is what makes you upset..or suddenly angry ,how you express your anger/how often..and of course..to whom!(which is the reason why personality and attitude become confusing).

More often than not,this confusion between personality and attitude happens in relationships or friendships...not with acquaintances who probably are meeting for the first time.
So when it happens in relationships,it gives the other partner a different perception about your personality over time.
Have you heard the saying "Don't confuse my personality with my attitude. My personality is who I am. My attitude depends on who you are or how you treat me!"

Bottom line is if you expect to be treated nicely..you can't get that by being a Tiger or being hot-tempered at any given opportunity!

Trust me..I know it takes a lot of energy,patience and even maturity when dealing with hot-tempered peeps but the truth is two people can't be mad at each other/upset at the same time to be able to forge ahead positively...Which is why you have to be patient with such people and think of an amicable way or response to arrive at a positive end.

Bad temper is something that you can also deal with by recognizing and accepting that you have a hot temper and then, work towards how you express your anger...So that your bad attitude doesn't end up becoming your true personality!


For everytime you get upset,you don't have to go into a rage spilling out words you can't take back after the harm is done!
"Stab the body& it heals...but if u injure the heart,it takes a lifetime!"

At some phase in my life,I realised it was more painful regretting some words I spat out in anger and I just couldn't take it back!
I had also come to realise that,in this part of the world.. there are lotta people who confuse my kindness for weakness!*smh*
At some point..I just had to ask myself "Will you rather say something bad in anger and chew back your words later or try staying calm(counting 1-100) in your head or walking away..knowing that you will have no regrets later?"
Of course,I chose the latter and even till this minute,I find it hard to wear the cloak when I face such trying instances(covering my face)... but I just keep reminding myself that I chose "act the fool" over "crying over spilled milk"!!
There's no denying it...we face this on a daily,especially when we have friends,colleagues or partners who have a way of pushing you into Tiger-mode...but I think at the end of the day,it's a much better feeling knowing you didn't say/do something you will regret later*sighs*

On that note,I think it's necessary to remember that everyone has a different personality(even twins!!),so it's inevitable not to have misunderstandings!
So in the course of a misunderstanding or argument with a partner,friend or colleague...don't let your words/actions leave you in a state of regret but instead let it be a way of you being seen as a person who appreciates or takes into consideration other people's personalities/feelings and the never-changing fact that Noone knows tomorrow!

Good attitude begets good results*smiles*

Nothing Good Comes Easy...

Sitting on my bed on a lazy Saturday morning...am reminiscing and thinking to myself.....Hmmmm...Just like a few other aged sayings like "The Evil That Men Do Live After Them"...the saying used as my Post title seems not to have that weighty effect I grew up with!

There was also a recent controversy concerning an advice given by a well-known preacher advising singles on marriage partners ,which would have been more agreeable with the singles populace back then because it was a norm for a wife-to-be to know how to cook, to be a complete package and for a husband-to-be to have a steady income stream, was definitely top of the list!
But hmmm...with the change in millennium times evolving with a lot of woman empowerment,gender equality,bread-winner wives...etc...that kinda advice requiring a woman to be a good cook before a suitor can see her possessing wifey qualities ..cannot be given so much applause..in these times...If u ask me. Naaaa*smh**sighs*

Wellll...anyways..I come from a time when my dad used to remind me so quickly saying "Nothing Good Comes Easy", whenever I complain about why I have to face all the challenges to study Law(not Music,Yoruba or Agric Education) in a reputable University just to get a Degree,for gainful employment into a top organization...why I would have to go through the NYSC programme to fulfill my own quota as a bona fide graduate getting ready to be part of the workforce in my country...*sighs*...
Infact,why would I have to eat bitter things or less sugary foods just to maintain good health when all my body craves for is..foods packed with loads of cheese,cream,sugar..etc??Whyyyyyy???*sighs*

Now bringing us back to today...I have come to realize that quite a number of good things have started becoming easy to achieve...Or better still,you don't have to suffer sooo much before achieving positive results...Well at least for some people *Hahaha*

For instance,it's quite interesting to know that now,you don't necessarily have to be a lawyer or doctor before you get a good job&enticing pay package!!
You can still read Yoruba/Music in the University and get a job in a bank!!*smh*
Infact let's put it up a notch...U don't even have to go to a University and graduate with a 1st class degree before becoming a successful musician or actress ,making millions from an album or movie!!*sighs*

Thinking about it now....Back in the days...To woo a girl, you would have to talk on the phone for months...visit her every other day if you can...tell her sweet-nothings loaded with just smiles&hugs..But now,the guy doesn't have to wait 2years talking about his family or aspirations in life before his girlfriend sees his bedroom!!
Infact for some,wooing is a matter of buying pizza and ice cream ,etc for the girl...(not having to talk his life out all in the name of toasting)and even gifts that the girl's parents have never bought her..like a car,a house..a trip abroad..etc..
Of course,in a short time,after being wooed with things she only saw in her dreams...the girl gives in and the guy succeeds in making her his woman!*smiles*

Ok..let's even go domestic..
 Back in the days,Pounded yam was a weekend delicacy in my house because of the rigours we will go through preparing the meal...(using a mortar and pestle to pound the yam)...But now..I practically eat Pounded yam/Yam flour about 3times a week..thanks to the Poundo machine or Packets of Yam flour ,to ease off all that stress!! *smh*How cool is that!*LOL!

Lemme also mention those loooong hours used back then for washing clothes and having to wash out a stash of plates have now been overtaken by the Washing machines & Dish washers!! LOL!


I can't help but mention this one before I go...
Back then, I was a lot heavier in weight..especially from my waist downwards(which resulted in a certain nickname given to me in University)...
Anyways,my parents had to constantly remind me to watch my diet,encourage me to run about 3miles in the mornings, 3-4 times a week and truuuust me...it wasn't funny!!!

But now,a lotta people don't have that kinda time,patience..or even discipline when it comes to Weight loss...they'll rather buy a pack of Slim tea/coffee..or a pack of Slimming pills that will take off the weight without having to leave the confines of their home or deprive themselves of their fav cravings!

As I put my pen down...I think the next time you wanna advice or urge someone to work real hard or sweat before seeing results...in this era of "Work Smart..not Work Hard" using the saying..."Nothing Good Comes Easy"... Please remember it may not apply to this generation in all its entirety! *smiles*
Who says nothing good comes easy??? *wink* *sticking my tongue out* LOL!!!

The Problem Behind The Silence...

Helloooooo peeps!
How's it been?Hope this post meets you in good health!*wink*
And soooo...a few days ago,I got chatting with a friend who complained to me about his wife's silence recently,especially on issues or discussions that would have usually aroused her vocality!
To my amusement,he felt relieved by her recent change of behaviour...as opposed to when they would have noisy arguments waking up the neighbours every other night!*sighs*

Hmmmm...Well..as usual..I got inspired to write a post on this*smiles*

It's quite interesting to see that when a couple are having an argument...a partner's silence is often mistaken for stupidity..naivety or lack of knowledge...even a subtle agreement to whatever the outcome of the situation is...and a whole lot more of misinterpretations!*smh*


But guess what...
More often than not...the partner is silent or slow to respond for other reasons that a lot of people dont realise or for some that do...they just choose to ignore or pretend like they don't know.*smiles*

Lemme put it this way...In a friendship or relationship,in the course of a misunderstanding...if your partner is silent,it is not because he/she agrees totally with your opinion...He/She respects you enough not to bother arguing..infact he/she might have even stopped respecting you and doesn't even see the need why they should waste their energy or time arguing with you!

As a matter of fact...At the point where your partner starts becoming silent or slow to respond...you should be more worried than happy or relieved!
Infact, be VERY worried...especially if he/she has been very vocal in the relationship before now!
Don't even kid yourself thinking your partner has finally become ur love puppet! *rolling my small eyes*

It's at that point that you should even begin to think deeper as to why the he/she is not responding!
It's at that point that you should realise the problem you are talking about ,might not even be the REAL problem but something else!*sighs*

Instead of jumping up for joy at having a quiet and submissive partner, you should be more concerned over the fact that the communication has become one-sided and definitely needs more than silence from you or your partner!
Afterall communication is both ways before it's regarded as a successful one!

On that note,as I drop my pen on sharing my 2cents...the next time you feel happy with yourself and singing Hallelujah cos your partner has become silent more often in the relationship...be sure to ask yourself if you are SUCCESSFULLY communicating in the relationship...which is one of the strongest factors of a successful relationship!

Till my next post...live..laugh..love..and of cos..stay blessed!

Happy Children's Day!!

Hello peeps!!

And so in Nigeria today,(May 27th)..It is that time of the Year to mark the Children’s Day celebration.
I can never get tired of repeating how children are not just unexplainable bundles of joy but a great blessing from God.
In so many ways,messages are passed physically and spiritually through them..even in their innocence and that's what makes them magical!
For those who can relate,the early stages of sharing moments with them..that's between New-borns and toddlers,could be quite tasking..

..And as a parent,you sit asking yourself when you are gonna start enjoying the fruits of your labour! LOL!

Wellll...trust me..u'd be amazed how time flies with kids growing up and before you realise..they are all grown up getting ready to leave your house and move on! *sighs*
So why not enjoy those "tasking moments" smiling to yourself and say ..."This is just a phase".
Welll..for those who can relate to the scenario of having teenagers already or are already mum-in-laws...your child will always be your child..even at 60..So you shouldn't stop at wishing your 40yr old son..or 45yr old daughter Happy Children's Day!!*smiles*
Make it a Happy Children’s Day showing love somehow..in any way you can..not just for your kids..but for any kid you know by buying cupcakes,ice-cream,a small toy..even a book..better yet a pocket Bible!
It could be anything..as long as it's from your heart..with love!

Once again..Happy Children's Day to all d kids out there..including me!!*wink*

  • Till my next post...stay blessed!

Got till it's gone...

Welcome to the amazing month of April!!
And Ohh yeah...Happy April Fool's Day peeps!!
So who's April gonna fool today?Hmmmm...anyways y'all should have fun fooling somebody today *wink* LOL!

Singing along to Janet Jackson's song"Got till it's gone" ,a smile curves my lips as I ponder over those melodious, yet deep and meaningful lyrics!
Truth be told..there are just some people out there who come into your life,never realise your value or worth until you take a walk or they walk away!
Funny how it takes your absence for them to begin to realise the diamond you are..the sparkle that made their life meaningful at some point*sighs*
It wouldn't make so much sense for you to start thinking and giving yourself an undeserved headache about it.
The saying.."Because someone doesn't know your worth doesn't mean you should lose track of it!" comes to mind.

At the point of their presence in your life,they somehow make you believe that they are doing you a big favour by being with you,spending time with you..recounting some of your flaws at every given opportunity they get, so you can relate with when they say you must be lucky to have them or be with them!*smh*
Once they take that exit from your life,don't waste those golden tears!


Knowing your worth is soooo vital to your happiness..so if you don't feel good about yourself,it's difficult to feel good about anything else!
You need to get up,dust it off your shoulders like some bad lint and remember.."Sometimes you need to forget what you feel..and remember what you deserve!"

The Easter Celebration!

It's gonna be a long weekend where this week ended on Thursday and next week begins on Tuesday*big smile*
A very BIG thanks to the Easter celebration!!

Going into meditation over the Lenten period which involved a lotta prayers and fasting for many,it really came at a good time.

For those who fast alongside prayers,especially during the period of Lent,it works as a refreshing path to your spiritual life and even physical.

I usually use this period for deep meditation on my life,achievements and yet-to-be attained goals.

I know it starts with the New Year..resolutions and all but like I always say..it's one month at a time just like it's one day at a time, so you can't achieve ALL set goals in one day but just might achieve it the next day if you take time to pause,think through again,re-strategise  and pursue the goal(s) once again!

I got a lotta peeps saying the fasting even helped them on their path to a healthy lifestyle or weight loss! Funny as it sounds,it actually does..whichever way you look at it.
And soooo my point is...sometimes in life,we need the PUSH mode to get something going in order to achieve an intended but yet procrastinated goal!

Now the celebration of the season begins and oh Yesss..it sure will be celebrated!!
There have been loads of deals on almost everything shoppable in the last one or two weeks and discounts on getaways,cuisines..etc so I can tell you for free, a lotta people will celebrate it wella...me inclusive! LOL!

Funny enuff, some guys are already getting scared, wondering if their babe is expecting an Easter gift,Easter cake,Easter egg or even an Easter Boat Cruise!*laughing my head off*smh*

Welll...on a lighter note..it might as well be celebrated cos who knows when next in the year there will be a holiday giving 4-5days of rest and all!
Just be ready to get back on your grind when the holiday is over next week and don't start whining when you wake up and realise Monday is here and all the Easter eggs are gone!*smiles*

On that note..I wish y'all a wonderful Easter celebration!!

Give Your Health a Boost!


 
Hey peeps!!Hope you have had a good week so far*smiles*
And soooo the weekend is almost here and for some of us who have indulged all week…this post comes as a good reminder!
If you have being indulging in fatty foods and unhealthy diets, Detoxing can be a great way to get your health back on track!

Whether you like it or not…We all need to detox our body from time to time especially when we forget all about portion control and proper dieting!*sighs*
Although its sometimes easy to look for a quick fix to give you a health boost, but this isn't always the best way to get your body in tip top shape.
The best way to rid your body of toxins by regular detox and allow your body naturally realign itself and get back on track.

I will give a few tips on how to get a natural detox :

-Take fruits like oranges, apples, even warm water mixed with some lemon..taken first thing in the morning, will help a whole lot in reducing toxin exposure and even weight loss!

-Exercise regularly…take short walks, run up the stairs if you have to, skip rope , jog or even run few kms and combine with minutes of aerobic workouts.

-Take enough fibre…eat plenty of high fibre vegetables or foods, drink plenty water and even some green tea.

-Reduce sugar intake…excess sugar can upset the gut flora and even pile on the pounds if not burnt off as energy immediately.
So you seeeee..it's not that difficult!
Give your body a healthy boost cos it's the only one you have!LOL!
Have a healthy weekend!

Can Social media be positively addictive?

Too many questions running through my mind but this one tops the list!

If you are like me..coming from an era where decades ago, communication was mostly done by phone calls,texts..even physical visits..then u'll understand why some of us didn't quite embrace it so quickly or with as much excitement as some others do!*sighs*

Don't get me wrong...Actually years ago,I guess I was one of the few who jumped on signing up for facebook and twitter when they started and  I enjoyed the fact that it was a new way of catching up on old  friends and celebrities who I would never have had the opportunity to see or chat with in decades to come!
But then..years after..some others came up like..Flickr,Snapchat etc and am wondering..hmmm??
Now this is the part that paused my steps a bit...
I check them out and am like..so why exactly do I need to sign up for these new ones?
What's so different about their features?I already have a facebook and twitter account so what's the point??

Welll..I know they are free..but guess what?
If one's not careful,they can become addictive!Yesss!!
Trust me..am talking from experience!
When I first signed up back then..every morning..before anything else..am logging on..posting something...checking out people's status or update...infact ,doing this for hours which seemed like minutes!

I was happy doing it like I was being paid!LOL!
But of cos..years later,I realised it became an addiction and that's where I had to draw the line!
The truth is...we have to be responsible for our own influences..positive or negative!
You should do things that inspire you not drain you for free!*smh*

So coming back to my question...can it be a positive addiction??
Definitely!Buuut..the level of addiction is a personal choice!
There's good addiction and there's definitely bad addiction!
The same way u drop your fork after a plate of food and say you're done should be the same way u can put your phone/laptop down and say"Enough of this for now!I have other important stuff I need to do!"
It should be a pastime..something you can do maybe when you're bored or taking a break..but definitely not something to take up hours of your productive day...well..unless you are a blogger..social media publicist or basically being paid to be online chatting/surfing!!

And soooo after all's being said,I signed up for Instagram a few days ago as my new pastime*smiles*
Not just for looking at beautiful people or uploading pics of myself..LOL!
Wellll..better late than never*wink*
But seriously though..I gave it a long thought and signed up because after checking it out,I realised there were a whole lotta inspiring people to follow,share pics with and even learn from...Writers,Singers...Actors..Photographers..Make-up artists,etc!
My intention is to give my brain something more...something to be inspired by...something to think about...to make me achieve more!!
At the end of the day...it's a personal choice..so why don't you seek out people who are motivating,encouraging and can positively influence you somehow?

The truth is...you are the summary of everything you consume so just make sure it's gonna be things that positively influence your mentality and lifestyle!

Tribute to Womanhood!

My darling mum,best friend&mentor sent this to me this morning and by the time I was done reading I knew there was no way I could keep this to myself!!

Enjoy reading..and a big shout out to all the strong and beautiful women out there!!!
This is also for men to read and know why women are so special*wink*

Mum and Dad were watching TV when Mum said, "I'm tired, and it's getting late. I think I'll go to bed." She went to the kitchen to make sandwiches for the next day's lunches. Rinsed out the popcorn bowls, took meat out of the freezer for supper the following evening, checked the cereal box levels, filled the sugar container, put spoons and bowls on the table and started the coffee pot for brewing the next morning. She then put some wet clothes in the dryer, put a load of clothes into the washer, ironed a shirt and secured a loose button. She picked up the game pieces left on the table, put the phone back on the charger and put the telephone book into the drawer. She yawned and stretched and headed for the bedroom. She stopped by the desk and wrote a note to the teacher, counted out some cash for the excursion and pulled a text book out from hiding under the chair. She signed a birthday card for a friend, addressed and stamped the envelope and wrote a quick note for the grocery store. She put both near her bag.
Mum then washed her face with 3 in 1 cleanser, put on her Night Solution & age fighting moisturizer, brushed and flossed her teeth. Dad called out, "I thought you were going to bed." "I'm on my way," she said. She put some water into the dog's dish and put the cat outside, then made sure the doors were locked and the patio light was on.. She looked in on each of the kids and turned out their bedside lamps and radios, hung up a shirt, threw some dirty socks into the hamper, and had a brief conversation with the one up still doing homework. In her own room, she set the alarm; laid out clothing for the next day, straightened up the shoe rack. She added three things to her 6 most important things to do list. She said her prayers, and visualized the accomplishment of her goals. About that time, Dad turned off the TV and announced to no one in particular. "I'm going to bed." And he did...without another thought. Anything extraordinary here? Wonder why women live longer...? 'CAUSE THEY ARE MADE FOR THE LONG HAUL........ (and they can't die sooner, they still have things to do!!!!)


WOMEN … God's very own creation! 😉

Amusing Thots In This Season of Love..

Whilst love fills the air,I will grab the opportunity once again to pen down my thoughts and share them in this wonderful season of love!
Valentine's day which has been celebrated on the 14th(for as long as I know).. is in a coupla days!
For those celebrating,I can hear all the Yaaaaaays...Yipeeeees..Can't wait..bla bla!
Well for those who dont believe in Valentine's day or think it's a myth and will celebrate this Sunday like every other Sunday..Welllll it's all good*wink*
Anyways in my moments of hidden excitement(I dunno why am excited when it's not my birthday)..it just struck me that a lotta couples will just do the same ol' thing which of cos could be getting a card...then rushing to any store to buy any red colored gift the attendant recommends *sighs*
It really doesn't have to be that way all the time...no matter how busy you are!
Think about it for a minute...it's gonna be a Sunday this year so that makes it quite different this time(especially for those using the office/business as an excuse not to celebrate *rolling my eyes*).

So no excuses...celebrate it differently this time*wink*

Infact this season is so amusing to me cos it's not just about that Valentine's day but even the Pre-Val's day! It's during this period(the week or days before Val's day)that a guy who used to shower his girl with loads of gifts to celebrate Val's day, suddenly starts saying he doesn't believe in it anymore&infact he hates all the noise made about it!
Truly,I know a few peeps who genuinely don't believe in it but the ones that start claiming it's a myth..years after..when they suddenly realise the financial burden that comes with the celebration, are just the biggest of clowns!*smh*
Well..if you decide to stop believing in/celebrating Val's day with your girl,make sure you are on the same page of belief with her..especially if you wanna be with her after Val's day!

Another amusing one is the girl that has a few guys on the Val's day list but not quite sure which one to spend time with/which one will give her the best gift! Imagine the headache/stress she has to go through to make that tough decision..even deciding on what gifts to buy!*smh*
I always remember a few years back when I was shopping at a store,some days before Val's day.
I was walking past the Men's section when I heard a girl shopping for her man with her friends. She was in the Men's underwear section checking out which set of boxers and tops will suit her man.
While lifting up different sets with her,her friends asked her what she was expecting from him or what would she have liked as a gift?
She laughed..saying that even though she wasn't precise with him about a Val's day gift but she had been hinting she needed a new car so who knows?Maybe he might surprise her with that!
At that point,I just had to quickly walk away!!
Waaaaat!!!Is it me who didn't hear her right??Hold up!
You are buying your man a pair of underwears but hoping for a new ride??? Hmmmmm....it's either I'm from another planet...or ...*smh*
I just couldn't stop laughing in my head and shaking my head of cos..so every time Val's day comes up ,I always remember that day somehow!
As for the sharp guys...or the ones tryna be smart..who will now be looking for any and everything to cause a misunderstanding with their girl before that day...LOL!!
Am laughing so hard right now cos I will share a few that I managed to see last week..all in the name of Valentine's day!LOL!!

So for now..Am gonna sit back ...stay amused for the next coupla days..!!
