Thursday's Random

Hello blogworld!
How have you been? Its been a minute, I know. Trust the weeks have been good to you?

I went to Ibadan for a wedding last Saturday, and I had a really good time. We (we were a company of 8 people in 2 cars) left Lag about 6am because of the Environmental Sanitation and we were in IB in record time. We had so much time to spare before the wedding commenced that we went to the University of Ibadan Zoo. It was such an amazing time there. We saw all the animals they had there even though some of them were sleeping #Sadface. I felt sorry for the animals. Magnificent animals reduced to "puppets". The zoo concept is a good one, but I always wonder won't this animals be better off in the wild? Anyway, I had a great time seeing all the species of animals for display there. The one that got us all laughing was the gorrilla, abi na baboon. I don't even remember. He was just enjoying himself and entertaining us as well. Here are a few pictures...

The donkey was braying very nicely






Sleeping lions

Very dirty warthog

The baboon (or gorilla) that made our day
My only wish is that they maintain it better. On our way back to the venue from the Zoo for the wedding, we saw a car with a Lunatic Learner's sign. Boy, did we have a good laugh. We figured even a driver from Lagos would have seen the sign clearly. Luckily, I took a picture.
This is no longer an "L" sign but a massive "ELU". lol

The wedding itself was a beautiful one. MC's just have a nack for making the bride and groom act like mumu's sha. At this wedding, the MC had the groom sticking out his butt and doing all sorts. The groom was laughing as were all of us, but the MC reprimanded him and told him he wasn't ready to marry. Omoh, the groom set his face straight. Lol. There was plenty to eat and drink...I just had fun.
Here's a picture of the bride. She looked really nice. Oh, and her beads were by none other than Leecious Designs! (I just had to put that there jare:D )
Happy married life darling!

We left IB quite late so we got home about 8:30 - 9:00 ish. In the end it was a good day.

Yesterday, I read a blog post by St Adlyne about the Pompadour updo. I have always admired the hairstyle on Janelle Monae, but I have never had the guts to try it out. The funny thing is I actually love the style...but from a distance.
This morning while trying to come up with a different look for my hair, Janelle Monae came to mind. I actually sat on the edge of the bathroom and started braiding my hair just for the fun of it.
When I was done, I was extremely proud of myself and I even switched my attire to black and put on a white neck piece (talk about hair inspired outfit. lol) After that, I decided to take some selfies and would you know it, I saw myself doing this post.
I must say, I've gotten more compliments than when I first made this hair and I'm proud of my look today.

Thank you ST for inspiring this look today.Have a look-see.





I really should get back to work now.
Here's wishing you a beautiful day.
xoxo

    Blessings....
    Hair looks good, as for the zoo - "that's why the caged bird no longer sings," because its its singing that got it caged in the first place. Human beings likes to possess things, animals are no exception.

    Enjoy the rest of your day.
    stay blessed.

      I agree. The caged animals looked like they had lost a major part of themselves. #sigh
      Have a blessed day too!

    That zoo's a fun one. Gor a few memories too. :D

    Those creatures will arguably fare better in the wild. Question is: will you [considering most of us take some form of delight in seeing them]?

    Ibadan has to be a nightmare for any [sane] driver. Even the ones without billboards tick you off. How much more this?

    Wow! You made that hair by yourself? There's this myth about women that make their own hair oh :O Hahaha. *jumps fence* Looks really good, tho!

"Distrated"

Permit me to use this new word coined from Disappointed and Frustrated. Thank you. And no, I don't feel this way right now at all. Far from it. On the contrary I am on a high. *wink* Ok. I promised to do a post on my jewellery project, but I'll still get to do it. This story has been pushing itself to me since yesterday and share it I must. There was a Retreat for some of my colleagues  in May, and I was to be a part of it. Notice for the Retreat was rather short and it actually conflicted with my brother-in-Law's (BIL) wedding. Well, the retreat was in Benin for Tuesday to Friday, and the wedding was in Kwara State for Friday and Saturday. This meant I had to pack a suitcase for the 2 events, right? Well, my MIL had graciously sent me the fabrics (Aso-ebi) for the Traditional and Church wedding, and I still hadn't found a tailor to help me make something really nice. (I wanted to dress to impress my would be in-laws). AS time was running out, I ditched...

Bored

Isn't it weird that I have a job, and yet I am bored. As a matter of fact, I have 2 jobs, and yet, I can't seem to find any interest in them any more. I wonder what happened? Once upon a time I used to be very very excited about one of the jobs. It was like the coolest thing after leaving the banking industry. But recently, I seem to get "hungry". Not hungry for food, but hungry to do more. Make no mistake, my desk is always full to capacity with work, I just feel there is a lot I can do that I am not doing. Like I am being underutilized. To make matters worse, everyone around me (my 2nd job) has gone for a training, and I wasn't included in the list. It makes me wonder... Anyway, I'm in the office by myself of all the colleagues in my subsidiary group, and I have a dozen and one things to do, and yet I am BORED!!! My mind is telling me its time to find "food"...wherever that may be! I need to get back to my newsletter, its long overdue for ...

All of it...

Hello lovely people of blogsville!!! I hope you missed me half as much as I missed you? :) I am seriously clearing cobwebs, spiders, bats and all from this blog.  So I am married now shaaaaaa...after what, 3 years of dating this guy? God has been faithful, that the only thing I can say. I really want to thank you for all the congratulatory messages, tweets, love and all. God bless you all. You know you and you know I know you too. lol! Thanks a lot for still sticking to this blog, It honestly means a lot to me. To all my new followers, I appreciate you too! Ha, I went to the moon to "drink honey", and I am back to reality real time. Its been like 2 years since I took a break from work, and it was a beautiful experience (the honeymoon and the break from work) I tell you. Not that I haven't been entitled to a break, but I always tie them down to events, exams and what not, so I haven't really rested per say. I fear I have so much to say that I don...
