See me see trouble

I couldn't think of a title, actually maybe the title of this post should be how grateful i am to still be here. So i had a car crash last week... i was driving home at about 10pm, and i stopped at a police check point just before a set of traffic lights, i stopped cos well there were cars in front of me, so i waited.... 10 or 15 seconds later all i heard was a loud bang! and my car literarily flew forward! i quickly grabbed d steering and swerved to the left to avoid hitting the car in front of me... my head whipped forward and hit the back of my seat which caused my whiplash then i sat there for about 2minutes.... then i stepped out to see d damage.

It was a mess! and i was speechless, first i was Thankful that i had been wearing my seat belt, now dnt get me wrong o, i always wear my seat belt but there r times when im literally driving to the next street and im being lazy, but once i hit 20 my car starts to make an annoying beeping sound that doesn't stop until im clicked in! however the only reason i was wearing a belt? cos i was driving myself, which made me wonder why we never use seat bets sitting at the back? if i had a driver and i had been sitting there, i dont know what would have happened to be honest!

Anyways after talking and whatever i got back into my car, the dude says he will meet me at porsche in the morning (U know i dont drive a porsche abi? it just sounds nice. lol) somewhere in my mind im thinking the dude isnt going to turn up tomorrow so im already doing a mental calculation in my head, oh at this point my head was pounding, my neck was stiff and my back was aching badly.

i was about 3 or so streets from home so i drove home and went to bed, i dont think i said anything else dat day. the next morning i woke up with an even bigger headache, so off to porsche (again u know i dnt drive one? before one stupid anon will say i am forming now) in the morning, guess what??? the guy was there waiting for me! i was truly shocked, i honestly didnt think he would turn up....

anyways cutting the long story short, my car is fixed and back on the road, i still have pains but i shall live.

I just thought to pop by to share this and to also wish everyone a safe and merry xmas!

PS: Please do not drink and drive!!! worse still do NOT bb and drive! it is worse than drink driving!

PPS: i have a feeling thats what the dude that hit me was doing, it really could have been a different story if he were going any faster!

3 years ago......

Exactly 3 years ago today, i started this blog, quite frankly i didn't know what i was getting myself into really but i did anyway, i started out reading overwhelmed, Olawunmi, Soul and someone else i cant remember now, and i thought hang on this would be great! for me to be able to air my thoughts anonymously and get some great advice and all.. little did i know!

My blog has been drama filled...

The blogging community has been/ can be harsh o!! kai, when i first started blogging i was regular, a post every other day, or at least once a week, it was fun, it was like talking to/with family, people left comments, if it was an issue and i wanted advice i got it, i had the ppl who criticised some things i did, but it was constructively. no beef, no hatred nothing!! then the 'anons' arrived and oh boy!!

i started getting all these hateful comments that i couldn't even comprehend, how do u hate someone u don't even know? how do u sit behind ur computer and say such horrible things? i got tired, my 'friends' started to leave one after the other, the anons kept at it... i mean here i was, i had one of the most personal blogs out there, i spoke about my life as honestly as i could, sometimes because i genuinely wanted help or advice, other times because i simply wanted my life to be an example to someone, that u can be successful, irrespective of where u r coming from.

i blogged about life, love, work, being adopted, my siblings, boyfriends..... but then one day i got a comment that actually made me cry, it was a personal attack, i had a feeling it was someone i knew cos it was so personal that is sat back and thought.. wao, how?? how can someone hate me so much. Now im really not the sort of person that cares what anyone thinks about me, i mean to hell with ur thoughts but this comment just hit me, i guess it might have been cos i was going thru so much heartache at the time... anyway so after that comment i said goodbye to blogsville. i was done!! i couldnt take it anymore... so i thought!

2 weeks later i was back, lol. dis blogsville na juju o, some ppl were genuinely happy to have me back, i remember getting an email from a blogger saying how much i inspired her. it made my day. however, my blogging style changed, i slowed down on talking intimately about my life, but it was hard.. cos my blog was personal. at some point i went off again for a few mths, so much was going on in my life that i really wanted to blog about but couldnt.... like getting married...starting my own business (and stillw orking full time) lol.


blogsville hasnt been all doom though.... i have made some amazing friends.... Olawunmi, Overwhelmed, Snazzy, Uzo, Tminx... too numerous to mention... speaking of Tminx i remember the good old days of her and baba alaye.... damn those were d days. lol

my business partner is someone i met on blogsville who amazingly turned out to be a distant cousin.

in all, blogging has been mad! i have had an amazing time..... still meeting people.... still blogging.... and still giving anons the finger!!!!!! e ma run down ni!!

Things currently pissing me off:

1. can someone please explain this to me, how the HELL do u look at me and tell me i am still going to be fat?? i swear ppl in naija make me sick. if one more person tells me im going to be fat ill kill somebody! i mean seriously, n woman that i dont even know had d audacity to tell me she can tell im going to be fat just by looking at my legs, even tapped d back of my legs for good measure, telling me cnt u see u retain water? i mean seriously?

2. i officially hate banking. with the drama thats been going on in the Nigerian banking industry i just feel done. ive done investment banking for 8 years now and im just tired! and even though i have started 2 business that r going great i still cnt quit... *sigh*

3. Those vendors in traffic stay geting on my damn nerves, i mean if i really want to buy ur 'lewis vuitton' lol sunglasses, id call u myself, dont be tossing shit in my face and saying 'baby dis one go fit u o' bloody plonker. i am so getting tinted windows on my next car.

4. speaking of which, yes we r still on this range rover business, im over the LR3 though, my brother got one and i drove it, and my arms ached after, the things hard like molue. lol.

5. Marriage is really not by force! ppl please! understand this! kai the things ive seen girls do lately just to be married, i swear it puts the fear of God in me.

6. my friend who is getting battered everyday see here is now engaged and getting married early nxt year, she asked me to be a bridesmaid and i said no.

7. speaking of weddings, why oh why do we get in debt over weddings!!! a friend of a friend called me the other day to ask if i could talk to another friend at First bank to get a loan, i asked what the loan was for and she said for her wedding. my hand just fall.

8. explain to me how a woman who is 5.7 can wear pants that r not long enough? how do u explain that? seriously?

9. ive lost my blogging mojo, seriously i always want to blog but the words just dont come... oya come back mojo!

Blame it on Gossard....

i honeslty cannot remember when this little 'problem' started but i think it was sometime in 2001 or 2, some of my friends think its psychological, some think its just plain mad... but i confess i CANNOT wear underwear that does not match!

And i blame it on Gossard.... Gossard is an underwear brand and they make some really nice stuff... in 2002 0r 3 i think, there was an ad on tv.. a girl is about to croos the road and she didnt do the look left look right and look left again thing (she don use d knowledge chop eba. lol) and she gets hit by a double decker bus! she is still conscious as they rush her to the hospital, and as they wheeled her into ER they brought out a pair of scissiors to cut up her clothes, and thats where the drama began... she scramed, begged, fought and did everything for them not to cut off her clothes, but of curse they had to and whne they did.... d moment froze... she was wearing a pink bra and blue knickers, i think one was lace d other cotton or somthing like that.. i have been scared since then.

what was d moral of that story? u never know when u r gooing to get hit by a bus? i digress.

so the day after d ad, i started to invest in mathcing underwear and ive been wearing them ever since. i cringe when i see girls in red bras and blue knickers, it just screams 'WRONG'

Iwent to the hospital a few weeks ago and the doctor needed to examine me, i took my shirt off, and had to pull my skirt down a bit as it was an high waisted skirt sho she could check my stomach (no i am not pregnant) anyways this doctor couldnt have been more than 27 at the most and she burst into laughter upon seeing my underwear and said why r u all matched up... i looked her like u must be fucking kidding me, the doc was pretty, had on a really nice dress and all that, but i couldnt help but wonder, u mean under that dress theres all sorts of foolishness going on?

so heres my question, do u wear matching underwear?, if yes why? if no why? do u feel comfortable?
