June 2008 already?

2008 is fast winding up! Can still remember new year day and its already half way thru. What have I achieved this year so far? Have I pursued my real passions or am I too lazy to reach for the sky and exceed my expectations? I know I need to get off my ass cos I ve been making too many excuses. At least lay a foundation to start with. Too many ideas is d same as no idea at all. Its just dat my passions are so wide and varied I have no idea how to harness them . Will put my head down and make sure I get into something real soon. I know, I know, more procastination by not giving a time frame but I will, I absolutely promise. See ya then.

Losing momentum

I never seem to keep any momentum with my blogging, dont know whats up with me. Came across an article I wrote abt 6 - 7 years ago and really enjoyed going through it again. Will try my darnest to type it and post real soon. So keep a watch on this page. Latas!!!

I'm Back

I am really really mortified that I have let my blogg fans down. Cant explain it but I am back now. Its been Nine months since I wrote in and since then, life has served me its cold and hot dishes. The most significant change in my life is the loss of my dearest friend and sister, Mary Taidi Abu. She passed away on the 7th of July 2007 after a very brief illness while carrying a pregnancy. Though its been a couple of months, I still feel the sharp pain of loss more times than I care for. I proudly used to announce and describe her to people as "my oldest friend ". We had met in Secondary School, in our very first year and formed a bond that has withstood the test of time. My earliest memory of Mary is back in 1990 when a classmate wrote her a love note and she beat him up for (according to her), trying to make her lose her morals. God still cracks me up when I remember. She was my databank of my past. I always forget past events and people from school and she was always there to jog my memory. Many atimes I have called her to share some sad or unhappy event wit me and the share force of her personality and love for life will make me forget I was even unhappy to start with. She was such an integral part of my family and I miss her oh so much. theres so much to say and write but I will save it for tomorrow cos we are in the Holy Month of Ramadan and I'm fasting and have to head for home and the kitchen. But i promise one thing, I will write diligently so please stay with me and lets enjoy the ride, laughing maybe sometimes crying together. I'm out

ramblings

Wow I'm finally blogging! Been dreaming of this for absolute ages. Now its here, I'm here and I'm lost trying to decide on my topic/title. Should I write abt me n my life, abt life in good old Nigeria (Naija for short). Or is it to be romance and the fickleness of life, hurts, job STRESS, issues issues issues. Dont know but what I do know is we are going to have plenty of fun. Have always loved writing. Actually both the writing and written. love to read. It seems its become such a part of me that my two year old son goes to the bookshelf and gets me any book he can lay his hands on the moment he sees me seating without one. Its one of his favourite words too. "Mama, Book, Book". Love him to death by the way. He is my lil angel, just hearing his strangely husky voice makes me smile. Oh and his Dad is my big angel!!! Ok this has been fun for now but gotta run and get some work done. Will defitely be sending you some good stuff soon. Ciao Ciao
