He is tall, has thick dark hair and big light brown eyes.
Symmetrical features, perfect nose and a small mouth.
He is always dressed on point
Crisp collared shirt tucked into his levis.
Sigh.
I cannot tell you how much I have lusted after this boy.
He is out of my league.
Word on the street is, he has a girlfriend
This has never stopped Fabulo-la before.
But this time...This time...
I cannot have him.
Yet my heart skips even harder when he walks into the office.
Or can I?

Just by looking at him,
You can tell he is smart.
Not in a computer geeky star wars kinda way.
In an "I taught myself Java" kinda way.
I am stalking him on facebook
Too afraid to 'friend' him

He probably hasn't noticed me
I wonder if he even remembers my name?
I have found every excuse in the book to get him to come to our office.
I have kicked the computer, removed the cable
Unlogged myself out of the network
Anything to get 'John' to come downstairs and fix.

Shameless I know.
But what am I to do?
I run errands for my boss countless times
Taking a bunch of papers up one at a time
Just so I can pass by John's office to get a glimpse of him.

I can already imagine our first date.
Our children.
Jeez, what will it be like to kiss those lips?
His eyes make me melt. Literally.
Our children will have thick wavy luscious hair
Imagine the color of their skin when my beautiful black mixes with his tan olive.
I am dying sef to just hear him call my name.
My whole name. You know get him to play that
"how do you say your name" game?
I can only imagine the jolts that will be sent up my spine when he touches me.
Sigh...thoughts of this boy have got my mind running in several directions at once.

I am dying to make a move...
You know, ask him about himself.
Anything to get him to talk to me.
But for the first time
I'm shy.
I'm afraid to look like a fool in front of him.
I'm afraid he will think I'm not that smart.
I. am. dying. to. get .his. attention.

Tomorrow is '(insert-name-of-company-here) day '
You can be sure I will be stalking the tables between classes
Just so I can get a look at 'John'
This is getting out of hand
I can't even joke about it anymore

I'm beginning to feel the pinch in my heart...

God help me
I am crushing on a boy I cannot have.

Fabulo-la
First of all I want to say I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for everything I have done
and even the ones I don't even remember
I'm sorry for eyeing that girl when she asked me a dumb question the other day.
(You too you know it was dumb now.)
I promise I will smile next time.

Im sorry for cursing that boy out,
but you know he got on my nerves now!
Calling me miss "I'm too busy so I can't call or be bothered to talk to anybody in Nigeria".
What on earth did he mean by that?
Is this a new thing making me feel guilty 'cause I dont call him? All the way in Nigeria?
Or wait...do you feel like that too?
Hmm...I guess I'll try harder.
With you sha, not the boy.

And I'm sorry for wishing that professor would catch swine flu cause he was mean to me last semester.
But you know you didn't really have to allow him to become sick.
Please make him better. Quickly. In a few days.
Please make him better. :D

Now I want to thank you.
Thank you for my new job (assistant manager is not easy o!)
Even if its less money and less hours, I know you will make a way.
Right?
Ah! I have to say a BIG thank you for touching my advisors heart.
Now, I can stay the extra semester and get that minor in Math. And maybe English too!
But God, why are all the Chem E professors so mean?
Do they do it on purpose?
Or is there really something wrong with them?
I ask that you touch their lives and fix whatever maybe wrong with them.
Cause they make us miserable! :(
And misery is not my portion!

Now I want to thank you in advance
That job?
Yes that one that you are reserving for me?
The one that pays $60,000 a year with relocation expenses and with a manager training program?
Yes that one! Infact Baba God, I hail you o!
I know you will not let my enemies laugh at me!
Thank you jere!

Now God, about all these cute boys you keep surrounding me with.
I'm not complaining. The view is Ah! mazing.
To think you created all that?
Wow! You are truly God all by yourself!
But I need you to help me concentrate sha.
Don't take the boys away o!
I just need to concentrate.
And please help me keep my hands off the ones with girlfriends.

Oh I also want to thank you for taking away all the bad dreams.
I am truly grateful.

God, for all those people that are causing trouble
In the name of religion,
Forgive them biko.
Touch their hearts eh?

Dear God
I cannot thank you enough.

I like you
I like us.
but I've come to realise
I like me more.

I know we would be great together
but honestly,
I'm great with me right now.

This is not an 'independent' rant
but rather a 'my new best friend is me' kinda discovery
You know that woman you saw in me?
The strong, defiant, woman
You are convinced would make a good wife?
Well, I'm still getting to know her.
And for right now, she needs all my attention.

I'm not out to hurt you
Im not looking to replace you either.
But to give myself to you right now
Would only be making us both miserable.

Like I said,
its not that I dont like you
Its just that..
Well, I like me more.


Today I met another fine boy
*sighs....*
Cute, shy, white boy.
Wednesday, Fabulo-la will make her move.
I kid you not.
All my flirting techniques will be put to use Wednesday.
I can't wait!
I know what you are thinking,
The engineer and the spartan nko?
Well, what can I say?
They are boring me jo.

Finally saw District 9.
Me I don't know what all the fuss is about.
I will not bore you will all the parallel themes and plots I thought were amazing,
But frankly the movie was that good.
I enjoyed it. Tremendously.
I'm not sure what all the noise is about.
Jus' saying.

School is a BEEYATCH!
But I love it.
I was reminded of how much older than the rest of my class I am today.
3 years older than the average American college senior.
I know its not a big deal.
But I can hear what they are really not saying...
Its been humbling actually.
But sometimes....
To be reminded that your own mates are done with their 2 degrees
And I'm still working on my first.
Sometimes it doesn't bother me
Other times...
Its a completely different story.
But they say
It's not how you start, its how you finish ei?
I certainly hope so.


How is everybody doing?

"I ... trudge this earth...seeking salvation from a marauding death" - DannyB












I want one too.
I want my own.
I want the one that will make my heart race
Just by hearing his voice.
I want the one that will smile at me
And know exactly what I'm thinking
I want PDA in public
Footsie in the resturants
Butterflies in my belly
A knowing look when I need it most.

I want one too.
I want my own.

I don't want hers.
Neither do I want to be number 17 out of the current 25.
I don't want one minute.
I don't want a weekend.
I don't want to share.
I don't want one that tells me he loves me while his wife snores in the bed next to him.

No!

I want my own.
I don't want an old one.
I don't want one that didn't work before.
I don't want games.

I want a new one.
I want to start afresh...
On a clean slate.

I want discovery...
I want chemistry
I want mind sex.

I want the one that I will run to
When the nightmares won't go away
The one that will hold me
And tell me everything is okay
The one whose eyes I will look into
And feel completely safe.
The one that is not turned off
by my fiercely independent streak.


I want a Man not a boy.

Yes, I know.
I want it all.

Is that too much to ask?








So Blogsville
You guys had enough of the publicity stunt that is MTV?
I refuse to comment on that negro's disrespectful action.
Moving on... yes I have other concerns.

So I have been having bad dreams.
No scratch that. Bloody NIGHTMARES!
As in, I wake up either sweating or crying, for that last couple of weeks.
These dreams have involved a lot of dying, shooting killing...did I mention dying?
I kid you not o!
Needless to say, I have been walking around campus muttering "Sharamama sharamama...I am covered by the blood of Jesus" under my breath.
To say I am scared shit less will be understating it.
But then again, it is not my portion, damnit!
The devil is a Liar! He died that I may have life o!
Abi? Yelz ke.

So now, imagine my SHOCK when watching the VMAs (A solid 3 hours I will never get back btw)
I saw Lady gaga wearing that red lace thing over her damn head?
As if her performance was not enough!
(I swear that woman is so in-appropriate she should be banned)

You know what the hell that reminded me of?

The Bodies from the Body Worlds exhibition and
The hollow pleading look in their lifeless eyes!
SHIT!! SHIT!!! SHIT!!!
Ewoo! Are the nightmares not enough?
To say I wanted to start crying would be putting it lightly!

So yes blogsville that is my concern tonight.
Please ehn, before you go to bed
Pray for PEACEFUL sleep for me.
And you ofcourse.
Rebuke every attack of the enemy against me.
And you ofcourse
And please cover me with the blood of Jesus.
And you. Ofcourse.

Thank you blogsville.
Your love and concern is much appreciated.

I know this might have come off really lightly
But this is the only way I can pretend to not be scared.


Now I'm off to watch the girl crying blood....*sigh...*

Its not that I don't love you.
I do actually.
With everything in me.
Just not the way you deserve to be.

I want to worship the ground you walk on
I want to yell it from the rooftops
I want to give you my mind
My body and my soul.
Not one or the other.

I want the whole world to know
That you are mine
And I am yours
I want to submit my all to you
But...

But I can't do it.
Not from here.
Not now.
I cannot give you what you need
What you deserve
I cannot love you
The way you need to be loved
Not now.

But I do want you to know
I'm coming back
And when I come back
It will be for good
I can only hope and pray
That you, My love
Will be here to meet me
That you will embrace me with open arms
Like I never left

I know we have that
old fashioned traditional
just-can't-live-without-each-other
intoxicating love.
But right now
Right now
Its not enough
