I have chosen to create my own world of celebrities. So today, I celebrate an amazing individual.   John Brown . His name sounds like something from Gulliver’s Travels or Charles Dickens’ Great Expectations. I don’t have a biography; I probably don’t even know how old he is today.  But here’s wishing John Brown a very happy birthday. Like the Irish blessing goes;  “May your days be many and your troubles be few. May all God's blessings descend upon you. May peace be within you, may your heart be strong. May you find what you're seeking wherever you roam .”   Happy Birthday, I celebrate You!!   PS: This is not an advert. He's very much taken. (I think I just heard a sigh...LOL) Sorry ladies, the handsome young man will be walking down the aisle very soon J

Vals day is almost here and boys, sorry, men have started popping rings and questions like champagne. I’ve been forced to wonder if it was possible to say no actually. Yels, No. What would happen if a guy goes through all the trouble only to be answered with a public No! Ouch ! Ok I promise not to get derailed. This is just to congratulate a guy I barely know and a lady who I will totally walk past on the street but helped pick out her ring. Yes, I took the time, while everyone was busy watching Nigeria spell Mali in goals, and I went to the Gold shops to look for a ring for this lucky lady. My cousin had called to ask for a favor, about helping a guy get a ring for his girlfriend. OMG, things like this excite me so much. In fact, if you don’t ask me I will totally volunteer my services. I made sure I Informed every guy who was yet to propose around me, so they could see what their fellow men were up to and get thinking. The proposer wanted a ring with o

So as a sequel to the blog on Silverbird's Dr. Bello, I think it would be only fair to inform everyone that I did get appeased.. (Grinning) Perhaps venting may have not been the answer. My Friend and Brother had been magnanimous enough to post my appeal for pity on their blogs: http://cherrychatter.blogspot.com/2013/01/outrage-dr-bello.html#comment-form  and  http://www.moviemarkers.net/reviews/silverbird-packages-dr-bello-as-starring-007s-pierce-brosnan-gerard-butler-to-woo-viewers-a-lawyers-experience/ A comment on Cherrywine's blog had me reeling: "AA (I know u) when in doubt watch animation...hubby knows best"; I guess Hubby does know best after all. While I decided to write about it and nurse my frustration, Hubby simply ran into a Silverbird staff, probably smiled and told him what happened and BAM! We got free tickets to another movie of our choice. My advice nonetheless; Please vent and trust hubby/boyfriend/brother at the same time. :)

Silverbirds’s version of Dr. Bello!!! My husband and I arrived the Silverbird Entertainment Centre in Abuja on Friday December 28, 2012 at about 8:00pm, with no particular movie in mind. Having had a tiring day at work with no time to check up the available movies, I relied heavily on the movie guide in selecting a movie. My attention was drawn to the movie “Dr. Bello” not just because it was tagged movie of the week , but also because the movie catalogue had the following information, “Starring: Maria Bello, Pierce Brosnan, Claudette Mink, Gerard Butler, Samantha Ferris ” and a promotional image showing some New York buildings with a mountain in the background. Fortunately it was delayed and was to start showing at 8:20 which made the timing perfect. Even more perfect was the fact that my husband loved Gerard Butler. So before he could take his time to locate an action movie or cartoon showing at the same time (yes, I said cartoon), I quickly pointed out that Gerard B
