The Bragging Kids Club - Part I

I have decide to start off my blog with a repost of all notes I had ever uploaded elsewhere. This Note was inspired after I got my law school result. I was so overwhelmed, I was instantly transformed into a poet..hehe...

 The things the blessings of God can cause.. Enjoy

THE BRAGGING KIDS CLUB
Kids love to compare fathers
We hear “my daddy can beat your daddy”
“My dad’s car is finer”, “if you see my daddy’s office ehn...”
Today is the day I join the bragging Kids club.


In all fairness and without exaggerating,
My dad is all of those things kids brag about and even more
At the risk of sounding pompous my father is RICH
And believe it or not he’s a king too.


The part about my father that trips me the most however is the way he loves me
Let me confess that I think my father is partial when it comes to me
We are quite a number of children but yet I get special treatment all the time.
He’s a very busy man yet every time I call he picks up and listens to me
No matter how often I bother him, he never shouts
His voice is always still and gentle
I approach his room and office whenever I feel like it
Confident that when I knock, he’ll open the door personally.


When I ask him for anything he more often than not gives me
The few times he doesn’t he points out to me later why he didn’t
When I have to do anything that scares me, like an exam or an interview...
He goes with me tells me not to be afraid and holds my hand all through it


He’s always telling me to be humble, to love my neighbours
He’s always telling me of how much he loves me
He’s always showing off through me and sometimes I get embarrassed
But those are just ways of trying to show how much he loves me
He gives me priceless gifts, does things that cannot be quantified
It’s been always him, him, and him.


So today I’ve decided to start by joining the bragging Kids club
Leave this little note around so that perhaps if you’re a friend of my dad
When you come across this poetic note about him
You can please tell him, that I wrote this about him
So he’ll know how much I love him, how much I appreciate him
How much I adore him and how grateful I am.

Dear DSTV,

DSTV Seems to have touched nerves this season. Below is an open letter to DSTV by an angry customer. I laughed hard when this was sent to me by Mistah Cole. Image courtes y  teeveetee.blogspot.com Dear DSTV, "I am writing this letter to you,  Multichoice/DStv , as a client of yours who has been with the company since the 90's when it was still known and referred to as  Multichoice , and i have to say- this is an ALL time low for you guys as you are now obviously out of content despite your exorbitant rates. Some few months ago, you increased the fees for bouquets and also "added" some new scam stations which would normally have pacified people. However this was not to be the case as the repetition of content only increased. For some weeks now a number of movies have been on heavy rotation. Examples of such movies are Jackie Chan's THUNDERBOLT, DIE ANOTHER DAY,  TOMORROW  NEVER DIES and all the other James Bond movies (Except CASINO ROYALE, QUA...

Food-Xperiments

Image
Recently, I have been trying my hands out on some food -Xperiments, been reading Food Blogs like the dailies and been discovering some amazing food secrets like the Sesame Seed Oil (thanks to my food network watching cousin)!!! I'm not a big eater, in fact I can be perfectly defined as "the lady that does not eat" I get comments like "that's why you're not fat" "when you won't eat" "you need to eat" yada yada yada. I tell anyone who cares to listen, food is not the reason I'm not fat. In fact, while I may not be a big a eater, the composition of my tiny meals will send any one with fat genes to the gym. I love any meal that comes with colour and has an aroma that has me sniffing around. So I basically try to turn everyday meals into something with an aroma and color or a different shape. Sometimes, I stand at the door to my refrigerator and just keep staring. My financial industry work has me staring at every food ...

Locks of Love; Jazz or Not?

Image
The Pont des Arts and Pont de l'Archeveche in Paris have been re-branded by tourists from all over. Neither of these bridges still maintain their original identity, they are now known simply for the hundreds of padlocks attached to the bridge. To be honest, I do not even remember which one of these two bridges I crossed, all I remember seeing is an unbelievable number of padlocks. From the foot of either bridge, tourists are met with hundreds of padlocks either attached directly to the railings of the bridge or attached to other already attached padlocks on the bridge. Let me give a brief history of the locks of love before I throw on my African cap. Couples go to these bridges prepared to “seal” their love with a padlock. This is obvious from the fact that most of the padlocks have engraved names while some simply have names inscribed with a felt pen. They call it a symbol of love and commitment (whatever happened to the wedding ring).  The lovers, both of whom mus...
