Birthday Girl

Yes it is my birthday today and thanks to Facebook and other social networking tools, l feel so loved this morning. Thank you all so much, eri mi wu o, gbogbo yin na le ma a r” alanu o. Ditto all the requests to please start blogging again, l am appalled at how many of you read this rubbish ramblings of a bipolar and how geographically, socio-economically and chronologically diverse y’all are. Don’t you people have anything better to do with your online time? No mind my waya mouth o, l am tickled pink, blue and orange. A daa fun yin jo, eyin alaye mi bambam! Blogger abeg translate.

Happy Birthday From Srilanka....
today is also my late mothers birthday...i've always found it intreasting that my mother and my mentor share the same birthday...
i wonder is you remember me?
But my memorable birthday was the one you spent with me on a quite oriental dinner in dantata and Sawoe lifecamp Abuja.
After my own 'life drama' i've uprooted myself and i'm now play acting single mother with my two lovely sons in the troubled shores of the tear-drop shaped Island on the Indian ocean...
Happy birthday...May the force be with you.

who sai? You can run but you cannot hide, i've been following you since your tempo days, when i was still in uni.I think i was blown away by the fresh perspective and someone who spoke my language. maybe it does not help that the article was about young girls in university and valentine gifts and stuffed roasted goats/rams. Remember? lol.

Belated birthday wishes. It can not be easy being you, but you do it better than any one else and have one more year of experience. Hope the next year is more fulfilling and rewarding than the previous ones.

Finally!!! Phew!!! Actually reverse that! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!! Wish u loads of blessings ahead from the Almighty!!! May your years ahead be filled with good drama!! Amen!

Now forward...Finally!!!!

Errrr u ask if we have nothing betta to do....i guess u have ur answer, cos i wouldn't be typing a response back!

Come o..i read and saw clips of the final show - New Dawn, and then i kept checking and u hadn't updated, i said 'Gosh..what if she decides to end her blog?' Oh my! Pls....u can't o! As 'bipolar-ish' and 'socially discombobulated' as u may think u sound, u actully inspire and spark great thoughts via ur blog.

In a nutshell...put ur first initial and the fist three letters of ur last name together and u get the answer..

U r on FIYA my dear, keep burning and don't let no system/person/haters/emotionalwuteva turn of that FIYA!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY n Keep BLAZING!!! MO FIYA!!!
