My fat arse!!!!
Ok so maybe I have gained a little weight! I can’t help it…I am always hungry! As in ….all the damn time. I think I have worms. So I told Kunsh about all the things I need from Naija….Combatrin, Kajal etc..and he laughs like I am being ridiculous….
“What is Kajal?” he asks me. I explained that its eye pencil sort of like tiro, he laughs even more “Come on babe, they’ve got better eye pencils over there” I can’t explain it; those that use Kajal know what I am saying right? The one I had was stolen; NEWSFLASH!!!! Thief of my Kajal…I have used the same one since SSII and you are probably one application from an eye infection…so good luck! But I digress, eh hen …..So I go on to tell him why I needed Combatrin, I am always hungry, I eat all the time, the good thing is that I don’t eat junk food or fast food, I eat Food Food. When I am hungry, rather than eat a snack, I will hold it till I can make a meal and 2 hours after that meal I am hungry again!
So on Sunday, Bayo tells me that I have gained more weight since the last time he saw me……Bayo is like my scale…he just looks at me and tells me if I am gaining weight! The boy is honest like that so I believe him. I don’t understand…I used to be such a skinny heifer growing up and I have always been a grubido…so why now? I aint that old, so it can’t be that my metabolism is stalling or is it? Oh lord…Imma have to go on a diet, well after I try the Combatrin. I am still a size 8 and I refuse to shop outside the juniors department dammit!!! Ok…I am going on a diet….I know I say that crap all the time but mehn….I am starting to feel heavy!!! I beg if you have a diet regime that worked for you…holla at me!
I spoke with LP last night and her mumsy is in town…guess what? She brought me Combatrin!!! I remember her asking me if there was anything I wanted her to bring from naija and I just kept saying Combatrin….I am sure she thought I was crazy!!!
Ok so my baby girl LP aka first born is graduating on Saturday! WOW!!! I am so proud of you snookums!! We are having a party at my club house and you are all invited!!!
I will be throwing down in the kitchen, Obe buka and tins….so plenty to eat plenty to drink!
PS..I will also be making meat pie...if I fcuk it up, its Yetti's fault!
The Odds are against me but pile up enough Odds and you are Even. The inevitability of my ability to consistently overcome overwhelms me. As do the magnificence of God's grace towards me and mine. I marvel at my proximity to my destiny. I am astounded that Can't, Won't and Later disrupt my journey to greatness. A conscious decision is mine to make and christen them Can, Will and Now! My reflection gazes back at me with another challenge at hand, procrastination hinders my reaching my destination. Don't tell me where I should go till you walk in my shoes. Yesterdays mistakes are for tomorrows amends, yet I ponder on them like the hand of time changes? Mediocrity has become a comfort zone and I have turned obstacles into road-blocks rather than stepping-stones, I find myself compromising my integrity as I try to maintain the status quo. How easy it is to condemn me and defame my character, when you really should commend me, and applaud my efforts. Intimidated by my confidence, you misconstrue it as arrogance, I know who I am.... A strong, black-diamond in the rough, a female soldier, a Queen amongst her peers.. now who the hell are you?
