Butterflies.......

Remember that feeling you get in the pit of your stomach when that guy who lives down the road is walking past with his friend. I remember it like it like it was yesterday.

He stares at you for a couple of seconds as he walks past . You literally feel things moving in your belly, you turn away and blush.

Hours later on your bed at night, you can’t help but constantly think of him. Blushing. Wondering if you’d see him the next day.

School is over, holiday lessons are on. You looked forward to attending only because he’d be in class, even though you don’t say a word to him. You are complete, just by being in the same room with him.

At the same bus/train station every morning on your way to your faculty......your heart does its own workout, racing when no one asked it to.

You get a job, and he’s there, on the second floor.

Another good day at the office.

You look forward to lunch at your regular spot, he walks in at exactly 1:30pm .......

The butterflies are still there.

Such a wonderful feeling........

Every girl must have been in at least one out of all these scenarios if not all.

*

We met a while ago.

We became friends, then we became more than friends

Or so I thought.

He was kind, funny, and very caring

He had a secret, he had another friend.

We became foes whilst we were still friends.

I was torn

*

And then I met him.

We became friends, real friends.

He was kind, funny and very caring

We became more than friends..........No secrets.

We found love in each other

Pure Love.

Such a wonderful feeling.

And after so long, it keeps growing everyday

I feel the butterflies.........all over again.

Like I’m 13.

I have a crush on him

*

Seriously, it was satisfying just seeing your crush when we were younger......how come that isn’t the case now? Seeing is good, but it just doesn’t cut it.

It is evident that the older we get, the more things change, it’s no wonder a 27+ year old finds it hard to find a single man these day, because like us, men at 27+ usually have partners.

It’s funny the way life pans out, we have plans, dreams, expectations, we worry at a certain age if we haven’t achieved certain things. We worry that we might not be able to achieve certain things that we think we need in order to take the next step.

If we stop, pause and take a look at where we are coming from, we notice that even though we had our so called “phenomenal plans” we ended up in a much better place, without that thing we thought was the key to our next step.

Everyone has their time, and that time is unique to him/her, so do not panic if your younger sister is married and you’re not, or if you do not have a job and your twin has been promoted twice. Your time will come...........

PS: So the kidnapping is getting out of hand.....what is up with this nation!

~A Little Light Is all I Need~

So this post started out on an entirely different note. In fact it was going to be a copy and paste post (Which I will do, another day), but that’s out the window now, thanks to the song that I’m currently listening to. On repeat.

LOVE

A word that comes and goes

But few people really know

What it means to Love Somebody

LOVE

Though the tears may fade away

I’m so glad your Love will Stay

‘cos I love you.

And you showed me Jesus

“What it really means to Love”

It gets deeper.

The nights that I’ve cried you Love me

When I should have died you Love me

I’ll Never know why you love me

(But I’m grateful Jesus)

When all hope is gone you Love me

You gave me a song that you Love me.

Now I can go on, ‘cos you Love me

And Now I know what it really means to LOVE.

Music and the events in one’s life. I remember Crying and trembling while singing this song at the top of my voice repeatedly in the bathroom after a huge fight with my ex. He had hit me- and of course the only person I turned in the bathroom was Jesus. I told myself love wasn’t outside the bathroom door- It was in me, Through Jesus. I didn’t need his fake love. *hissss

So I’ve been moody in the last two days, coupled with the fact that I’m having my allergy on another level.

But tomorrow is Friday.

And with some light from Kirk and Angie.

I say "Damn the mood!"

My Sunshine has come and there’s No more rain in my clouds, ‘’cos I’m all cried out!- Go Angie!

Dividends Of Labour

“~Suiris~”

“~Suiris~”..........huh?

Last time I checked it was ~Sirius~

She seriously can’t be calling me, can she?.

“~Suiris~”............Uhmmm, me?

Yes you...........why the lost look?.........you can’t have that look now, it’s 8 hours away from your runway show, every second counts.

Oh-kay.

A bit confused- I was so sure those were background dreams, I actually haven’t birth “House of Double O” yet.

My goodness it’s a freaking Tuesday and I’m supposed to be getting ready for work- who is she and what the hell is she talking about.

I must be dreaming...........or so I thought.

Until.

---------------------------------------------------------

"~Iris~"

Oh no...........Not again!

"~Iris~"...............

"~Iris~"............

Uhmmmm......me?

"Not you, Me!"

Why on earth is he yelling?

Can't he see I am awake, no need to end my hearing ability.

"Of course you...................... what do you mean by me?"

I can hear you loud and clear!

"If I have to pour a glass of cold water all over you to get you out of whatever zone you are in...............I WILL!"

Get up...........we have a plane to fly in 4hrs.

Right!, I say...............

-------------------------------------------------------

"~Sirius~"......Did I hear that right?

Somebody actually gets it right.

You don't say.

"~Sirius~"

I actually recognize the Voice and face.

~The Mister~

Smiling................

”Yes baby”. As I try to wake up.

"Happy Birthday........."

I look at the time, it’s 2:00am

"Thank you" I shy away

“I Love you Birthday girl”................”Love you too”

I fall right back to sleep

---------------------------------------------------------

I’ve always wondered what my life would have been like if I had made different life changing decisions.

I don’t regret anything that has happened to me.

In fact..........I believe the path I walk (even though I might be a late bloomer in some aspects of my life) I believe it is the best path for me.

And I know this because God walks with me.

And to Him I am eternally grateful and thankful for my Life.

His Grace is indeed Sufficient for me.

I have grown a lot in the last one year.

Thanks to the many battles I had to face- I defeated you all! He he he

And also the people who were patient enough with me whilst I learnt the new things they taught me.

It’s my day today.............

And I am HAPPY!

PS: The Mister did the most amazing thing ever! Remember how I cried about my new makeup that got stolen 2 months ago, make up I had just invested in from my last trip- well, he went out and bought every single item back with a cute purse to put them all in! And what moved me was the fact that after his research- he handpicked every item from the store himself- he didn’t just let anybody bring stuff to him to select, he went to the stores and picked them himself

So today it's me, him, my BlackBerry and my new Make up!

I mean, What more could a girl want?

In My Head.....

Driving behind a bus with a sticker that says

"EDITIOR WANTED?........For your books, Magazines, Newspaper. Call......"

Yah......And you can't spell editor.
I hope people I know never come across anything you have to edit.

Caught up with an old pal on IM.
He freaked me out.
He'd like to marry me.
Ummmh......dude I've known you for 8years.
Where on earth did that come from?


I got a suprise on sunday.
The Mister got me a sexy gadget.
I'm about to become a CrackB addict.

Perfect Birthday gift if you ask me.
But my birthday is not until another 10days.
Now I'm excited!

I've always wondered why they say "For better or for worse"
Not anymore.

My ex called.

He went to pay for his girlfriend's engagement ring.
But he broke down.
Says the ring was for the wrong girl.
It's a tad bit late now...........I'm gone.

I'm ready for change.......

I'm not Scared anymore.......

Music is indeed good medicince for your soul.

Listening to:

"Let's stay together, Loving you whether, the
Times are good or bad, happy or sad"
                                                                - Al Green 

Shona, Funms, Kookie and Ms Jayla put me in the zone..........

How Low can you go?

--------------------------------------------------

Blog hopping as I usually do,

I read this.

Had me thinking about people in relationships, and why they had to do all sorts of shameful nonsense only to fulfill their selfish desires.

Fair enough dude eventually told the truth about his feelings, after letting things get deep between them. Sucks if you ask me.

In other cases,

You'd have people who would just let things go on, keep you with them and keep thinking about the other person.

Or his type. 

Or the ones who would try to keep the both of you.

Or the ones who get the message and move on after fighting it.

---------------------------------

I have two friends who went through different scenarios.....Story for another day.

A case of an ex and a cheating  boyfriend.

With the cheating boyfriends...

Why do they have to stoop so low?

For me it's easy- especially if you have cheated before- you know the consequences.

End your relationship and chase your new fish, when you're tired you go after a new one, until you get it in your numb skull that every girl/guy is the same at the end of the day.

But Noooooooo, they will go through the stress of sending stupid texts or making calls when their wives/girlfriend/fiances  -Vice Versa -are not around- or even worse wait for them to go to the kitchen/bathroom/ out of the house.

If that isn't bad enough, you have the ones who are so silly to change names on their phones- I mean- do you really think the other person is that dumb?

If he/she was dumb, you wouldn't be with him/her in the 1st place.....(My ex did that once, knowing the kind of person he was, I was far from suprised.)- Had a family friend who found out her boyfriend had saved her name as "Dapo" on his phone- and she's Ibo- LOL!

Lets not even talk about the ones that are married, some even married with kids! and they have the nerve to lie about it.

Or is it the ones that go through the pains of covering their tracks, by cutting off incoming calls, switching their phones off when you're with them, deleting call logs and text messages.

I mean......What do you really GAIN?

I think it's only fair that you consider the other person.

For the fact you have a heart pumping blood,

Literally have a heart.

If you can't control your urges.CHOOSE!!!

Don't do that nonsense of having a wife/girlfriend yet you're sharing intimacy with someone else.

It can be easily done to you, and you better believe- You will NOT like it.

PS: Venting on behalf of my broken hearted friends.

PPS: Birthday is in exactly two weeks.......Nooooooooooo excitement what so ever.

PPPS: I feel numb...............
