Dragon headed mice

When I was putting the title up in this post, I couldn't decide if it was downtight crazy or if it made perfect sense. I believe in the twelve signs of the Zodiac. Yours truly happens to be a Gemini. *bows low* *blush* Needless to say, I love being a gemini.I'm supposed to be a part of a group people that challenge the status quo. A witty group of people,seductive,smart,whimsical,intelligent. Ok !Beautiful minded and all but with all this comes manipulation and instability.


The gemini is the one that can solve everyone's problems or at least profer solutions. The one who's eloquent in speech till its a speech about her. The one who spins tales about love and seduction but is you Don juan when love comes to her.with this instability comes the fear of intimacy and all things grounded. Its beautiful being her. The twins are a gift as well as a burden.


Okay, now you're wondering about the dragon part.that's what love is to the Gemini. The breath of fire keeps her so far away. If only she'd look beyond it And see that behind all the fire and horns is just a little creature that needs not be feared. The metaphors I chose are as wierd as it gets. It won't be easy for our twins but with everything else in this world,it is important that we keep trying.


I still love being a gemini,the gifts of intuition, objectivity, wit, creativity and contentment(supposedly) that come with it are ok for me.

Noone ever said beautiful cant be you

"Hey beautiful" he says. Said beauty looks around, sees she's alone and still asks "who me"?.Guess this beauty didn't come with brains. Where is that woman who would answer yes to that question without being called presumptuous?
I went to the market the other day. Please wipe that image of tomatoes in crates and fresh flowers in a vase by the counter. Real Nigerian market!I usually sit in the car so I was sort of mortified at somethings.


I was standing in the frozen foods section(putting it nicely)trying to avoid looking at all the dead goats that seemed to be staring at me when I saw her. No she wasn't light skinned.Wake up! Light skinned girls aren't necessarily pretty.She was the Color of the earth. A Shade darker than clay.She wasn't smiling but she lit up the space around her. She wasn't wearing makeup.She was beautiful.

The modern idea of beautiful is red or pink lips, hair that flows down to your waist, red talons,false eyelashes and pink cheeks. There's nothing wrong with improvement,when they become enhancements there's a problem.
The mantra of "you are all beautiful in your own way" has been sung so much but its true. That supermodel probably wishes she had your bum or your eyes or your hair that curls up in the rain. There's nothing wrong with admiring other women as llong as you know the woman in the mirror is who you should admire most.Beautiful is you and you and you

Breaking out

Someone probably saw the title and thought "Oh wow,great, a post about Zits". That's not it.Every once in a while,you see that one girl who seems to have done it aLl and you think why bother. Please bother! The mechanics of business survives because someone out there said I can do it better. We all try to set standards for the best. Good thing is the smartest people know it the "best yet".

I tend to ramble as you all might know but the point will be made in the end.The moral of the story is :Just because she's done it doesn't mean you can't do it too or better. Our minds are the deepest treasure chests we'll ever find so please dig in!I'm surprised everytime. I'm going into the the new year with aspirations and goals.When the time is right,all will be as it should.You should too.



Happy new year people.:)

A little something everywhere for everyone

"I dont shop at Primark"

says the not so stylish fashionista wannabe. Gosh!who doesnt shop at primark i say to myself? The different between a true lover of fashion and those who have a thing for wannabe watanabe is that. The fashion lover sees he beauty in bith the old and new, the wanna be sees only the shiny hence new as acceptable. 

I wouldn't raid Primark myself but the point is there is always something beautiful in the most unexpected of places. her my honey bun wearing an atmosphere 2009 studded dress. I've had it for a year now and i never wanted to wear it. it was a smash hit.(I believe in blowing my horn). 

Other brands like Dorothy Perkins, and New look fall in the same category as Primark and i have great things from all those shops. 

I understand the need to for luxury items but buy what you love. The heaviest and most uncomfortable shoes I have ever worn happen to be the most expensive. When next you feel the need to walk by that thrift store, take a second glance. You never know what kind of treasure are just waiting to find you. :)

Ms Player

I am not one to those people that succumbs to the male world theory. I liked the emergence of female players. Though they're called Heart breakers. I think Ms player is a better name.
Like the male breed,We have 3 types. They are all the same creature but at different levels of evolution


Ms Player 1. 

 She does her thing and like the a Piguet she never misses a beat. She's gone before you get comfortable. There is no pretence with this creature.She told you from the start. She likes her men hot. Spooning is not an option.This woman cares nothing about image. Its her strength and yet her weakness.Nothing is calculated but it doesn't matter.Math can solve its own problems.Ruthless but sweet. Heartbreak is imminent.


Ms Player 2
This is the woman you don't want to be. Uncalculated,reckless. She is a victim.Having no hold on her men.She's sometimes made sport . In trying too hard to be the male figure in the deal,she seems desperate.Trying to get feelings out of her men.Her time will cost you money.First mistake. "Never let your prey smell your fear." Mum always said. guess she wasn't listening.






Ms Player 3

The woman is all suave. She is all about Image.Batting eyelashes only you seem to see. Flirting is given a new meaning. You think you're in but you just have to make sure. She makes you want to keep giving. She plays it cool but she gives you glimpses of the Vixen.No promises are made but thats okay. She lets you know you're not he only one and thats okay cuz one day she'll see how special you really are. Like our number one man,she tells the skillful truth. Her victims are not few but far between. Everything is calculated with her knowledge of how people work.She's what you want and you're willing to wait. Though you know how wrong she is,she still seems pure .Heartbreak?She doesn't know the meaning of the world. Discretion though, She invented that.

Mr Player

Seeing movies like Two or Three can play that game     (For the life of me, i will never understand why there was a sequel to that movie). I always wondered if there were men so jobless in our supposed recession to bother themselves about such games.

You guessed it,Of course there are. We have different types.


The one with no game but he decides to inflate whatever niceness is shown to him.He might hit that with some but like a friend to all,he is a friend to none. This type feels he is on top of his game. Most times,he is alone in it because he doesn't realize that he is playing alone.


Another type is the one we have to give kudos to because he does what he does so well. Unlike our first pitiful case above,our man here is a guy's guy.This particular breed of man does his scheming like he breathes. This is a man who has mastered telling the skillful truth.With him,every girl feels important but he hasn't made any promises. She suspects he might be two timing but not with the way he looks at her.She knows the girl he is sleeping with but it is not his fault because she is forcing herself on him. They all want to be the one to make him commit and when he doesn't.. Its her fault.This breed is endangered sadly.:)


The last type is the clumsy one. His women all know each other and he get nothing from any of them and he keeps attempting.The saying did  go If at first you don't succeed ......... ;  ) . Advice to this breed: Keep trying,we all need someone to crack us up with msgs on our answering machines and Blackberry history.




No hard feelings though my men. I always say. To each his own

Raison d'etre

"Love be it for a child or a lover gives us a reason to exist"

Goodbye my lover,you have been the one for me.I'm so hollow but time will create a new hunger that I'll learn to fill.

Everyone says heartbreak is the hardest thing to experience. My childish  inner voice assure me that I'd never know that feeling. The only thing harder than heartbreak is love that exists but cannot be.

I thank Heaven for everyday.Nan always said please and thank you's are worth all the money in the world. 

Being no fool as a child,I figured I want all the money in the world so I had better say all the please's and thank you's I can.I don't have it figured out yet but I know that nothing is more important than a love all encompassing,all giving,true,honest and turbulent. no one gets a rush from a calm ride. We've had our ups and downs and i know we will grow our separate ways when we part but like the child in me,I wont forget to say my please and thank you's.

So thank you for teaching me that no feeling is better than when you give without expecting.

Giving is best done and best appreciated when it is done not out of abundance.

Love like you want to be loved and love with your heart. A heart filed with strength, not one filled with weakness. 

Love is about acceptance and its a plunge not a dip.

Dreams mean everything

Please don't lose the goodness  in you.

 I love you and I always will in the way I am able to define it.

I hope life is good to you 

Au revoir

Till we meet again.
