I've been cheating on y'all with Snapchat

I've been MIA ! I'm sorry😔. It's because the party has been happening on Snapchat. Yup! I've been so so random on there that blogging hasn't been top on my list.

Blogging has been my space to just do my thing, and it just so happens that Snapchat lets me do that without the countless edits and rewrites. It's kinda like vlogging and /or my life in pictures. And if I screw up a little, it's gone in 24 hours (well, it's gone until some super tech savvy people go digging). So I love it! And I should totally have invented Snapchat 😕.

I still love my blog's peace and quiet and will definitely be back soon. There's also the bit that I'm likely to be without consistent internet for two or three months, and I'm certain that whenever I do find internet, it will to be splurged on posting a picture.

So just so you're not left out, here's where the party's at: join in... Or don't😜!

Acknowledging Privilege

You know one thing that comes with looking at old things with new eyes? Interesting discoveries! For those of you who do not know, I have been in Nigeria for thirteen days and I will be here till the end of the year. So, I’m writing about what it feels like to go back home after half a decade. I already said in my last post that everything seems familiar except that it isn’t. And by that I meant that I’m now noticing things that have probably always been there, but had managed to go unnoticed. Every time I notice something, I wonder if I'm thinking and acting like a foreigner in my own motherland. It's a weird feeling. But it is what it is; I've been out of touch. Let's move to today's story. One night last week, Oye knocked on my door because she had been sent to get something called a “ruler”. Oye is the amazing maid, who really has been my right hand person. She's been helping me relearn the art of crossing Lagos streets, perfecting my haggli...

Picture perfect. Those were the words most of my guests had described my wedding day as. I might as well have been dipped in diamonds. I glowed from head to toe. Vera Wang had custom made my wedding dress to perfection. So much that Louis (my ever broke friend who had turned gay because he just couldn't deal with girlfriends and their extravagantness) became a believer in my one occasion dress that was worth a lifetime of savings for many. My amazing aunt had provided Dink and I with Audi's latest model as a "small" wedding present. Dink had just gotten promoted and was now fourth in command of my father's multi-million dollar company. Yes, we were more than able to afford the mansion we called home in Banana Island. I broke my hymen in grand style in Burj Al Arab, Dubai. My cheeks now burn as I remember how hard it was to convince Dink that my "cookie" wouldn't decay from being in the jar for so long! Ha those days were...hmm, words just w...

Hey Lil Troublemaker.

I have a midterm anyway, so there's no way around school today. No point whining. There's a 3-minute bus for the 7minute walk I have to make to my next class. When the roads are icy and slippery (like today) and man's greatest fear is becoming 'Humpty-Dumty the second', that walk becomes more10-ish minutes. So, of course I'll take the bus! *Whew!*. I made the bus. To calm my raging nerves - because I'm pretty tensed about my Stats midterm - I read the cover page of Metro newspaper. The story I first see is something about wheelchairs not getting priority over strollers. Lol? Who wouldn't know that? On second thought, it wouldn't be on the front page of the paper if something hadn't happened. Apparently, some bus driver had told someone with a toddler to get off t...
