Sorry, been MIA for a bit. Work takes most of my time these days. My weekend was good, too short (as usual).
Friday evening after work - photo showcase at the African Art Gallery, went to support a friend. She takes awesome photos.
Friday nite - hung out with some of my favorite girlies. We got free tickets to the Hennessy VIP Artistry finale show. I must say, some Nigerians have great talent. Sucked my pick didn't win, but i'm sure he won't have a problem getting a recording contract in the future.
Spent the rest of the evening at ember (or M-bar), not sure what exactly it's called lol. It's a lovely place though, the only lounge i've been to where you can have a full conversation without yelling. The music isn't super loud, just the right volume. The view of the city's awesome and everyone kinda hangs around the pool area, chilling like your at home.
It's funny most clubs/bars/lounge here are built like homes. Well, maybe that's because they were homes, before the property was acquired and turned into a "grooving/dance hall" lol. Just picture your bedroom 5-10yrs down the line, with disco balls hanging from the ceiling, your closet turned into a bar, your nice carpet turned into tiled ground, where drinks are constantly spilled lol That would be something!
The rest of the weekend was chill. Volunteered at church on Sunday for our Childrens Harvest Bazaar/Thanksgiving celebration. I worked with the finance department - helping out with the auction. It would have been more fun, but they weren't very organized. I must say some Naija guys have temper. They act like cave men atimes. Some dude started screaming at me, simply 'cause I aske
d him to clarify the auction process to a male church parishioner who was almost convinced I was trying to "duep" him for a monitor and printer he auctioned. Mshuww! Dude started screaming "I said, go sit down! I will handle it!" (the nerve, ugh!) and i'm going *calmly* "please keep your voice down, explain it to him in my presence before I leave"...i mean, two people can't be mad, abi? and I held my ground, didn't leave until he clarified the auction process.Geesh, I mean just listen to his words "go and sit down now!, I will handle it!" sheeuu, all he had to do was start beating his hand on his chest and i'd be truly convinced that he is from the stoneage. Mugu!
In other news...
All i want to do these days is sleep, this work n corper life is waring me out! It's like I never get enough sleep. I wake up 5:15am everyday, leave the office by 7/8pm get home 9pm (8pm on a good day). It's almost as if there aren't enough hours in a day (especially at nite). Maybe i'm not being efficient. Hmm, I have to work on that.
Lastly, I came across this article on cnn.com. Never knew this about Jay-Z and his father. You never know the impact people have on your life, until they're absent. Thank God for my parents. They have ALWAYS been there. Enjoy.
