Birthdays are special occasions that bring joy, celebration, and sometimes even surprises. Little did I know that this year, my friends had planned an extraordinary surprise house birthday party for me a day before my birthday. Also I had another another unforgettable experience—a trip to Poland to see my sister whom I hadn’t seen in years. May became a whirlwind of emotions, filled with laughter, love, and treasured memories that will forever hold a special place in my heart. The…
I finally got my Schengen visa and I’m ready for that travel. It’s been a long time coming. So I was supposed to meet up with my friends Ruth and Ebun either in Amsterdam or France. One week before traveling, there was change of plans. I was going to be a solo traveler for the first week in Amsterdam. I had two weeks to spend, thanks to my recharge week and work from any country 💃🏻. I started my July…
I didn’t see this trip coming soon. It was expected at some point but later than sooner. After a little argument with the loml, next thing I’m checking train fares, hotel prices and my PTO to suit the day we wanted. My browser was filled with things to do in Galway. I was making budgets to minimise costs I didn’t plan for. After my weekend request for time off was not granted, what a better way to start your week…
My September started uncertain and at the end it became clear that everyday was the summary of my last 8 months. It was filled with congratulations from engagements, condolence messages, my vlogging (this isn’t still a thing though 🤣🤣🤣), summer, autumn, church, school, lockdown, making new friends, losing friends, birthdays, swimming, parties, dates, forgiveness, learning, good vibes, faith, trust and bonding. I was mostly stressed this month from my dissertation but I thank God I’m fine and it’s finally over.…
I’ve been all about being peng with my jpegs. The past few weeks were like the best so far. I started a Whasapp vlog. Tbh it doesn’t make sense to me as the executive producer, cameraman, director and videographer but I have views and fans 🤣🤣🤣. I love you guys. It started as a joke but my friends write me that they look forward to my post everyday. Who knows if they’re mocking me??? E consign them. Basically we have…
When I open my blinds every morning, I always check the rose petals if they’ve bloomed. For me, it kind of represented a new change that’s coming. After that, I open my windows to feel warmth of the summer sun. The blazing of the blue sky and the golden sun meant it was time to get picture ready. I’ve never liked winter. It felt like all through the year was cold. Moving to a new country meant I had to…
Padding my little feet down the walkway Feeling like a model in my monokini I looked at my parents with their broad grin I knew my expected reaction was to be excitement My hair falling across my face and I had to brush it off a few times I felt the stares like the scorching sun I was probably too cute I had my moment to take it all in The golden rays from the sky The aesthetic palm trees…

Thinking back to my childhood and daydreams about my 21st birthday, I was kind of convinced I would be living up my dreams in my career, working in the World Bank even as an intern for a start. I even fancied myself as a world traveler, backpacking across Europe and spending my days sipping wine with the world’s most fascinating people, meeting world’s best sellers and having my contributions on their paperbacks. Ok my dreams didn’t turn out as I…
Everyone yearns for that feeling love, once in a while and we all need that person we can relate to, a shoulder to cry on just like a vulnerable child. I want you to mutter in my ear that everything would be alright. I want to love for a day and if it can take me throughout a life time I’ll be more pleased. I’ve almost thrown away everything I’ve held so dear but it becomes dark when I miss…
