Things I do

My favorite blackberry smiley is gradually coming to life.... Huh right? Yea huh? Thats my favorite blackberry smiley yea....

See  us BBing away

Say a word to me and then my facial expression goes Huh? Like it is on your bb... Oya quick run go check how it looks... Lol

OK so ya back shey? As a fan and team member of Rim... I find it really funny that gradually.. The apple syndrome is over taking over me... Ooh.. Dont get it twisted, I no too like to dey chop apple o.. But then, I touch one... Lol

This week has been one with many dramas, from the release of the headies nominees list to the MTV base Big Friday show... It's been work, play, deadlines, Subs... Etc etc... I'd come out safe sha... Na so the thing go... And ooh, I forgot to mention I sold my car...

Anyways, a couple of people mentioned that they like my blog.. so I'm gonna be paying attention to the thing sef...

What do we really want?

So, this friend of mine just put up something on her blog that i totally love... Couldnt help commenting though..

You should probably check it out too ... The distinct thing is the fact that she takes comments from people as to what they want in a partner, and as usual, they are all saying the same thing in different ways... Every one wants someone that will make them happy! Shikena

Playful or Weird

So, people say i play too much? yea yea .... The other day, i was saying something really serious about a colleague of mine walking through the glass, and every one thought i was lying until he came himself to give them the full gist... Whatever!!!

Some others say i can form? Ok thats so not true. Well messing with you, i am just someone people need to understand. Wo, i dont know jor .

Enough of trying to justify me.

In other unreleated news, I'm so in love with The Cranberries at the moment. .. Its so unbelievable. And to think my brother was a fan in 2003? It was so awkward waking up to The Cranberries playing every morning when every other family wakes up to morning devotions....

So exactly nine years after, my colleague Osagie hooks me up with the CD.... Ooooh sorry, he actually didn't hook me up like that.... I come into the office, and dude is there listening with head phones listening to something i cant pinpoint.... "Sup Osagie" i mumble... "Hey Hey Nike, how was your weekend" he replies. 'Was alright, cant complain"... Then i grab the CD on his table.... "OOH, The Cranberries, can i rip"... "Why not?, when i'm done, i'd pass it on"...

So thats the story.... From ripping it to my system, the CD is in my car now, and the songs are on my phone.. For easy access....

Please remind me to thank Osagie on twitter for a CD he hasn't given me yet... Weird yea? Everyone that gets into the car i call mine can like to sing along when i'm screaming "In your head, in your head, zombie zombie zombie zombie......."

Life as we all know it

So Life as i know it is gradually changing.

And ooh, in other related but scattered news, i love my BB like crazy. Since i got my first pair in August 2008, there's been no looking back. So my colleague Anita is mad at the fact that i have like 300 and something contacts on BBM. In her words, "What is it for please"?

Moving on my friend Bambo pings me and says "Nike, Taiwo is getting married", i'm like waoh... Really, thats cool. Then she goes on and on about me buying Aso Ebi and things.. Long story short, i never hear anything till today... Good/ Bad? Hmmmn. .. I no know o... Lool

Then my really good friend ..... Make i no call her name.... Lol (she's so incharge of getting my jackets, so i don't want to vex and tell me to look for where to shop for jacket in Naija, so i won't) says to me on BB.

Friend- U, can you wear dress and heel?

Me- Huh?

Friend- Question answer

Me- I can try

Friend- Ok, you know i am engaged :p, so maybe i'd force you to wear

Me- :o , i nor wear dress o

Friend- Were (mad woman), you must wear

Scenario 2- Oluchi, one of my closest friends from Nigerian Idol days is now a PH girl, we've waited for weeks to see where Guiness will will post her, and last Thursday, she tweets "My colleagues and i luk like contestants of Nigerian Idol waiting for eviction to start #TearyThursday. So i follow up BBM style. Yesterday, she hits me up

Oluchi- Am in PH

Me- That's good na, makes lil sense

Oluchi- Yes na

Me- So ya now PH based

Oluchi- Hmmmn e tire me o beta be booking ur flight to come

Na wa o... Which reminds me o... Omes and Glory, you people sef can like to start booking flight to come to Lagos o.. I figured i'd just stop begging you in real life and stick to online/ cyber bullying

Anyways, i'm out ... Hoping to hear some kain new things as soon as drop this pen, i hope i won't be shocked. At least change is the only constant thing in life

I remain Victory

Ok, so i'm seriously thinking of changing my name to Victory....

There's been so much to say, but then no one to talk to ...

I think i'd just probably say it in a very diplomatic way. Last week has been one decision making for me, you know the sort of decision where your friends, family, colleagues cant make for you?

So at some point, i decided to sample people's opinon, and then i realise something- The more i ask, thr more confused that i get. Sure feels like some decision yea?

But then, on Sunday, im at Global Harvest Church, somewhere my sister has convinced me more than a million times to attend (Well thats an exaggeration, but please get used to it o), and there is a line i pick up from the chior "I know my identity, my name is victory"

... So my decision is not made but then i know that whatever decision i make, it doesnt change who i am ... I am adopting the name Victory. So *in Wizkid's voice" if you see me drive by, Holla Victory

SAX APPEAL IS BACK!

Mike Aremu is ready to serenade us once again at the second edition of sax appeal.
The ever-growing entertainer who has been with us since 1999 will be on stage with his band at the Shell hall of Muson Centre on July 24 2010 to perform to an audience that cuts across different walks of life.
What distinguishes Aremu from every other saxophonist across the country has been his ability to retain his energetic performance; hitting notes non-stop with his sax and displaying a dexterity that is spell-binding. Aremu has a vast understanding of how to display with the saxophone. It’s the tool of his trade, and he has mastered how to work it from A-Z.
Mike Aremu has been an advocate of the saxophone from his childhood days. His journey to mainstream performance saw him signed up by kennis music in 1999 where he released his early albums ‘Dance’ and ‘No shaking’. It was a first of its kind for an artiste in Nigeria to deliver a well- executed jazz album, at a time when the industry was consumed with affection for pop music. His success was a revelation that jazz music, just like pop and hip hop, has a loyal fan base in Nigeria too. This revelation got him described as an “Ace saxophonist” by the Nigerian Guardian.
Today Aremu remains one of the few Nigerian acts who hold on to performing live, bringing out the real essence off his art and music.
He presently has a listening audience that cuts across international boundaries and was described as a “higher powered saxophonist by the Washington post.
Come July 24, 2010, Aremu will join acts like British born two time MOBO award winner Yolanda Brown, bez and Kunle Ayo on stage to deliver a performance he has tagged ‘Unadulterated’.
Yolanda Brown, a British Saxophone player is a two time MOBO award winner. Born to Jamaican parents, 28 year old performed at the debut edition of sax appeal in 2009.
Bez Idakula a talented singer with Cobhams Asuquo Music Production is one act pundits have penciled as one of Nigeria’s acts to watch out for. They are also joined by South African based Nigerian Kunle Ayo who is regarded as one of the most gifted guitarists on the continent.
