I had a should I say wardrobe malfunction at work yesterday.
See as their eyes dey sharp.
Well, I was heading to my oga’s office when I noticed my skirt was a little free. And am thinking “errr what is going on here”. You see, this particular suit is one of my “tight” suits ba the skirt is fitted (is that right? warrefa). As in, no space at the waist. Unlike most of my other suits, with a little space at the band. So I put my hand to my skirt and lo and behold, my zip was down. Ha! How did that happen? I still don’t know. Remember this skirt isn’t even a “free” skirt. I adjusted quickly, looked round, and figured nobody noticed and pretended nothing happened. Told a couple of colleagues, and went about my business.
Only for the same thing to happen to one of the people I told. She was by one of the printers, bends (at least we can give a reason for hers ba?) and next thing her zip is down. Now the question is, what happened? What if it was a free skirt? What if my skirt dropped at work? What if I had entered my oga’s office when it happened? *sigh*. Major disaster averted.
Happy holiday people. Hope ya all are resting. Yeah for those of us wey dey do public holiday today and tomorrow (e ma binu, bank holiday). As some of us no get weekend (was at a training), this is our own Saturday and Sunday. It just so feels like a weekend. Am I allowed to call in sick on Thursday and Friday? The unfortunate thing is that I ku don’t have anything planned. And as with not having anything planned in this house, you become madam driver…. So please people is there any pari anywhere tonight or tomorrow? I wee come I promise.
#Scandal o. Sorry this blog is practically turning to a Scandal blog. Can we get Papa Pope off Scandal? Dude is creepy. And that last 2 scenes of Episode 2!!! *le sigh*
And you know yourself, where is my “breaking bad”?
Anywayz, time to find something to do to keep my cousin happy.
You might remember these words/song from the movie “Preacher’s Kid”. Reminds one of the prodigal son yeah? Woke up this morning and thought of how many times I have strayed. Gone off to do my own thing. Decided not to care how my actions and inactions might hurt or offend those who love me and those I love. How many times I have done things I shouldn’t have. How many times I have left His presence in anger because I wasn’t getting what I wanted (and it goes both ways, both with God and my earthly parents). How many times I have hurt those around me.
And all I want to shout and plead for is mercy. I just want to come back home.
I’m so far away from home I don’t know how I ended up here all alone Seems, Like just yesterday Everything was alright How did I get here tonight I was raised better than this Daddy you don’t know how much I miss All the lesson life taught you You tried to tell me so I wouldn’t have to go through

Hold me close don’t never let me go I wanna say I’m sorry daddy every time I let you down Can I come home tonight tell me everything will be alright

Another song that captures my mood this morning is Coming back home
Took some time to come around
Realize how I let you down
Been to late for sorry now
My pride got in the way
Yes it did I thought I had it all figured out
I needed time away to work it out
And now that I’ve learned what it’s all about
And all I need is you in my life So I’m coming back home
Home, where love is waiting for me
Been gone much too long
This is where I want to be
So I’m coming home, coming home
‘Cause home is where I belong Somehow I lost my way
Mistakes I made I have to pay
It hurts to know still today
That I wasted so much time And after all is said and done
There’s more to life than having fun
Ain’t no doubt, you’re the one
And all I need is you in my life So I’m coming back home
Home, where love is waiting for me
Been gone much too long
This is where I want to be
So I’m coming home, coming home
‘Cause home is where I belong Just to be in your arms
Is like heaven to me
Your love, your love is all that I need So I’m coming back home
And I hope you forgive all my wrong
So I’m coming home, coming home
‘Cause home is where I belong So I’m coming back home
Home, where love is waiting for me
Been gone much too long
This is where I want to be
So I’m coming home, coming home
‘Cause home is where I belong
Side note: I am about 7 posts away from a hundred posts and this blog would be 2 years in February. Watch out for a give away. Would be open though to only those in Nigeria and UK. Time to start shopping for a gift.
Its been a while since I posted anything… Not for any good reason though… Have been a bit busy but that’s not enough reason not to post. Anywayz, happy new month people…
I am not one of those Happy New Month “texters”or “broacasters” (in fact I get quiet peeved when people send me messages but what can I do; cause am thinking I frigid know it is a new month) but in the last couple of weeks as September approached, I found myself thinking (maybe cause have been home doing nothing, I had so much time to think)… about the past 8 months. What has been and what hasn’t. What I set out to achieve and have achieved and those I haven’t and the list goes on… I kept looking back at how my life has been and how far I have come and all I can just say is thank you Jesus. He has been too faithful.
On one of my reminiscing days, I suddenly remembered a prayer I had raised and in fact COMPLETELY forgot about it… Started the year with something I had hoped to achieve by the end of this month and did pray a particular prayer concerning it and forgot *covering my face*. I kept on processing it but forgot I prayed that particular prayer. Sometimes, about two weeks ago, something happened and I panicked. I def didn’t sleep early that night. As I was praying, that prayer point come to mind and I knew God was just reminding me of His faithfulness cause that prayer was already answered and it was like since He did this, He would definitely complete it…I slept well that night and every night since then.
I set a target for September 2nd on the issue that was going to give me a sleepless night two weeks back and just left it to God. Today September 1st, everything got sorted. Two weeks ago, it didn’t look like it was going to be sorted in a month sef not to talk of within two weeks. One thing I heard for sure that night two weeks back was “All these are your calculations, what of mine? And He has been working according to His timing since I let go.
I also started this year and courting was one of the things off my list of to-do this year. I don’t do new year resolutions but I do give myself a list of set targets for the year. And being in a relationship was not on that list. But God’s ways are past finding out… And for that am grateful, happy *bbm dancing smiley*. And for many more I can’t start to recount.
Still taking a stock of the past months and hoping to make amends for things have missed out on achieving within the set time (with God’s help) because He continues to prove that on my own, I can’t do it.
Not all has been good. Somethings I needed to work on or change have also been on my mind. Things I need to stop doing and by God’s grace, I would… Once again, I can’t achieve that on my own so am handing them over to the one who can help me.
I decided to clean my room today and I was shocked at some of the things I kept. I pride myself in being able to keep things but finding my first year registration form was definitely not one of the things I should be happy I kept. That is what Yorubas call “panti”. Told YB and he replies “I don’t want panti in our house”. I def have trashed all that. And eye-shadow, brushes and other makeup stuff I haven’t used in a long while but would just not trash. Sad to see them go but they were constituting panti in my room. Clothes I haven’t worn in a long while too are gonna find their way to those who need them soonest. I am glad I did this cleaning though my back aches. A word of advise “Never start cleaning without eating a proper meal”. At some point my head was turning. Thankfully, the last 4 hours has been worth it. Off to burn the “burnables”… Trashed the “trashables”.
Do have a great September….And for those who know me, my count down and planning begins… November here I come *wink wink*
