:(

My namesake and cousin, who was not quite one year old yet passed away on Christmas day... I am so sad, I can't imagine how her parents are feeling right now. There is nothing I hate more than death. The little one has been suffering since the day she was born because of congenital heart defects. I was hoping that she would survive and grow up to be healthy and happy child. It is at times like these that the unfairness and absurdity of human existence becomes glaring. She was so tiny but she struggled to live, to breathe, to eat, to smile and even to cry...

RIP little one! You'll always be loved and remembered!

Tout me fait chier! :(

I love my parents but they can both be a pain in the neck sometimes. So I finished my dissertation and got my Masters Diplome (excuse me while I dougie in the street...hehehe)It's been the reason that I was away from my blog for ages! Anyway, what was I saying before...yes, I have finished with the school (well, for now) and I also switched from my former office. I am still in Geneva but working for a different organisation... that is a story for another day...why do I keep side-tracking my story?

This post is about my parents meddling in my affairs just because they think I'm ready to "settle". I am so pissed as I write this post because of this whole thing. I got a call the other day from some random dude who was telling me that he got my number from his father, who got my number from my father. I was like WTFLUMK??? It turns out he wants to get to know me, and asked me to send him photos of myself and to add him on skype so that we can "discuss".

I was like, biznatch, first of all, why are you collecting phone numbers from you father at the age of 23, is that not too young to be asking your father to arrange someone for you??? Secondly, I freaking live on another continent, what the heck do you think is going to come out of all this, aren't there people to date on your side of the world? Thirdly, I am NOT sending you my pictures or adding you on the skype, I don't know who the flip you are! Fourthly, who told you I would be interested in the first place. Finally, we are in our very early twenties, what in the world is the rush?



Men, I was pissed. This weirdo had the audacity to keep calling me and sending me text messages the entire week and when I didn't respond, he got his father to call and text me, asking why I have not been taking his son's phone call. WHAT THE HELL??? I blame this on my parents, who did not think to ask me before throwing my number to random people, just because they are "friends" with them. I blame myself for always being the compliant child who does everything they say. If I was the stubborn child who listened to no one, they wouldn't be doing this kind of stuff (they haven't pulled this stunt with my other siblings and I am one of the youngest!).

Am I over-dramatizing the whole thing? Is this normal or am I the only one who thinks this whole thing is crap? I just wish they would all let me be!!!

Another week... of moving...

I will be spending my summer in New York and I have had to move my stuff twice already, it really sucks! I will be in there in June, July and part of August before I move to Europe. Only God knows how things will play out, I am already tired of everything. Sometimes I regret the choice I made to move away from home... I just got a job for the summer, it starts on Monday and I am quite nervous, I feel so small and a bit inadequate for the job... okay, I have to stop whining now!

About the Switzerland wahala, its being sorted out right now... phew! I have already started to look for an apartment and to gather information on the getting my resident permit... I really hope everything works! I definitely have a wild and free spirit (I like to tell myself so...hehe) I can't seem to stay in one place for a long time... I think I got that from my mother, she is always traveling, exploring new places and making new experiences.

My daddy is really stubborn oh! He not only still eats meat and other unhealthy foods late at night, I caught him sipping some red wine yesterday night! I feel like shaking him to make him see the importance of his health over the instant gratification of food and drink! He promised to play "squash" 3 times a week and take the stairs for his health... I hope he really does, in fact, I will send spies to watch him closely : ) and of course my mummy with nag him endlessly until he gets back into shape!

Life!!!

I just heard that my father had a stroke back home in Nigeria... he is only 50 years old!!! I feel so scared!!! It was a mild stroke but still it made me think about the possibility that I might not hear his voice or see him again. I have already lost so many family members and I am not ready for another loss. I and my siblings are going to fight this as much as we can, no more red meat or alcohol for you Daddy!!! We are going to ensure that we do all we can to keep him healthy! I feel so bad because I am always away from home instead of being there for family... I prayed hard to God to preserve my family, we have been through a lot of bad times but we have weathered it all together, it is time to enjoy, sickness and death cannot come and mess things up!!! I am pray things will be fine with my baba's health and with everything!!!
