Birthday Gal

It's Fri-yay, everyone!

The month of July has been great so far...

Exactly a week from today, Friday the 15th, I celebrated my birthday...and all weekend long.

We started off with a lingerie party at Hyatt Regency McCormick hotel's Executive suite. The theme was so fun and playful...we enjoyed every bit of it! We later stepped out to Rio to enjoy some music from great Nigerian Chicago DJs.

(If I could post videos, I would)

On Saturday I went over to a friend's house where we ate an Oreo cake and clicked wine glasses. I later went home to rest up a bit, cleaned up, then dozed off.

On Sunday, my parents threw me a party at their house. There was food in abundance! My mom made our favorite- Fried rice (the best in town. Trust me)! 

We had lots to grill, thanks to my friend Kenny aka "grill master" as my mom calls him lol.

But of course all my photos and videos ended up being on Snapchat and I didn't save them.

I had initially planned on going to Punt Cana; plans were made last year, but it didn't fall through. I'll go sometime this year tho.

And oh guys, my goal to visit 10-15 cities by age 25 was a success :)

I'm currently on the road headed to my sister's wedding.

We'll talk later.

Hi, Model

The time is now 10:26pm.

I just got done with dinner (I know). I'm almost ready for bed, but I thought I'd share this bit with you.

So at work today, during checkout at lunch, the strangest encounter occurred.
Because I tend to get bored with my own food, I always buy food at my hospital's cafeteria (so about 3 times a week), which costs me between 6-7$ worth of cheeseburger with chips and Crush soda. I get the same shxt every time, well unless they're serving meatloaf with some spaghetti that day.

Anyway, on getting to the register, the cashier smiles at me, scans my bag of chips, then with a grin, says to me "oh honey you need to eat more. You're so skinny, like a model" Say what now? What sort of dirty compliment is that?
Mind you, this woman looks just like me, physically!

If you know me, you'd know  my appetite is very big, and random. After all they say skinny girls eat the most. Or isn't that how it goes? And mind you, I weigh 130-135lbs which is VERY healthy, thank you very much.
I felt like saying this to her in the nicest way possible: "Well if your administrator didn't charge an arm and leg for this thing you call cheeseburger, maybe I'd be able to fill my plate up."
The audacity.

Anyway, I have my metabolism to thank- for enabling me eat as much as I want without worrying about calories.

All things fattening is the motto... unless your body disapproves of course.

Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July, everyone! Hope your holiday weekend has been great so far?

Mine has! I had the best Me-Day yesterday and I got a lot accomplished, including taking my braids down..shhh. I'd had the braids for about 5 weeks, and while it still looked fairly good, my scalp itched for a wash. My coworkers and friends discouraged me from removing the braids as it still looked new, but I had to go with my hair's calling.

But anyway, the other thing I did on Sunday was eat my fave popcorn (Boom Chicka Pop) while binge watching on my new fave show on YouTube, Skinny Girl in Transit. You need to watch it if you haven't. They're in season 2.

Well, it's almost 0900. I'll go eat something light and perm this "thick forest" of a hair.

Going to a house BBQ later on. 

We'll talk soon.

My Songs for the Week

Happy New Month!

I know, I know...welcome to the best month ever ;) My birthday is in 2 weeks, and my sister's wedding is in 3 weeks!

So it's looking like this blogging is becoming a monthly thing. I need to pick it up.

I was supposed to blog about my Nigeria trip some weeks ago, but then I got in a car accident and had been dealing with doctors, and claims. But I'm fine, thank God.

***

This post is about songs that either came out recently, or I just got hooked on all over again (even though they are over a year old), but here are my fave 5 for the week:

Wizkid- Shabba feat. Chris Brown, Trey Songz, French Montana

Olamide- Konkobility

Skales- Ijo Ayo

Flavour- Nwanyi Mbaise

Flavour- Mmege Mmege

Flavour released the video to Mmege Mmege a few days ago, and I'm just over the whole village-marriage scene in a lot of his videos. He needs a new video/creative director or something.
