Hi everyone, how're u guys doing? I know its been ages. Pls forgive me for going awol.
I’ve been too busy for words. A lot has happened. I just couldn’t bring myself to type a post. I don't even know where to start from.
My story so far: done the introduction, the bride price payment and customary shenanigans... so I’m married according to Ibo culture. hehe
My Mr and I were not present, we saw the pictures though.
Wine carrying/traditional wedding and white wedding will take place later in the year by God’s grace.
I thank God for everything!
Although wedding planning hasn’t commenced in full swing. I’ve got friends already bugging for aso ebi and all... asking about my wedding website... honeymoon details. Too much excitement!! They are even more excited than I am. lol
Some years ago, I loved the idea of having a wedding website but now I’m not keen about it. Our dear face book is enough. So no wedding website people!
I’ve started searching for the dress. My Mr insists on seeing the dress so he goes to bridal stores with me. He says he wants to make sure he loves his bride’s dress. Lol
I thought it’d be odd to have him come along, but to my surprise I saw other brides to be at the stores with their fiancés helping them choose the perfect dress.
I’m gonna suspend the search though, cos I’ll be home pretty soon to meet up with vendors and all. Wedding planning is not easy at all.
I haven’t chosen any dresses for my bridesmaids cos I haven’t finalised my colours/theme for the white wedding. I keep changing my mind. I love bright colours cos they come out lovely in pictures.
My Mr says that now he knows colour names that he didn’t know existed. Persimmon, fuschia, saffron, pewter etc. Lol.
Our colours r sorted for the trad though. Its top secret! Lol...
I’ve chosen my bridesmaids but three of my friends are mad at me for not including them. I don’t know why they don’t understand that I don’t want a large wedding party. Hmmm... Women and drama!!!
Well, that’s it so far, I’ll fill u guys in as we make progress. Pls continue to pray for us. Everyone has been drumming it into our ears to pray and fast.
Have a good one everyone.
I’ll catch y’all l8r!

Marriage 101
I’m a young woman, living and loving life, taking each step as it comes.
The past year felt like a rollercoaster for me, in the midst of it all is the realisation that my life is about to change - adjustments and what not... it’s never going to be about me but about 'US'.
I believe we’ve all heard that when a woman gets married she doesn’t marry just her husband but his entire family. Cliché I know but when reality hits it becomes food for thought. It’s not easy to be a woman!
I’ve often wondered how women cope with this reality. I’ve heard all sorts. "Marriage is not easy" "the best way to deal with in-laws is with diplomacy" "don’t suck up to your MIL" "keep an eye on your husband" "guard him jealously" "expect the unexpected" etc... so many rules, unwritten of course.
I was speaking to my fiancé after I had a discussion with one of my many 'advisors' and I told him I felt like I was being prepared for battle cos this woman gave me some really scary/ridiculous advice that could discourage one from getting married.
Ok, I know a woman keeps her home but people, especially older women, need to take it easy with the kind of advice they give cos most times they end up killing all hope of having a good marriage.
A’s husband is a dog doesn’t mean I should expect mine to be a dog, B’s MIL is a bitch doesn’t mean I should expect mine to be a bitch, C’s husband was abusive doesn’t mean mine will be. Why stereotype?
Many young women anticipate trouble in their marriage before they get married cos they’ve been fed so much negativity. My question is: If you think/believe you’re gonna have a bad marriage, why do you still go on and get married?
Yeah we all know marriage is not a bed of roses but I refuse to get caught in all the negativity.
I’m so happy that our families are very supportive. I’ll keep praying for wisdom and knowledge to face any challenges.
As I prepare for marriage I’ll hold on to God and pray for a blessed marriage. I completely trust Him to make it wonderful for us.
BTW, how come men don’t usually get grilled on how to be the ‘perfect’ husband? Whatever happened to "it takes two"? Not fair at all...
That’s my update guys! No one can say "Aijay doesn’t keep her word." lol
Take care everyone!
L8r!

The Lie
Hi everyone, hope u guys r doing well. Thank God for our lives!
Well, I’m tired of apologising for my irregular blogging. It seems I start every post with an apology and I’m beginning to sound like a broken record. (Not nice)
I have to reject this spirit of erratic blogging. Writefreak darling, no more begging. lol
In fact, I’m going to update before the middle of March. I was going to say before the end of the month, but then I realised how close it was. February is almost over. Time really flies!
Anyways, it was really interesting reading the comments on my previous post. I actually thought I made the meme easy. Oh well, I guess I was wrong.
Well, here’s the long awaited lie.
1. I’m more than a quarter of a century old, I feel fabulous and I’m loving it!
This is the LIE!
2. I hate getting up early in the morning. I’d rather stay up all night and sleep all morning.
Truth! That needs no explanation. Mornings can be such a drag...
3. On a night out with my Mr and his friend, one babe kept hitting on me, she even offered to buy me a drink.
Well, it’s quite normal to receive compliments from fellow women on how u’re dressed or how u look but this particular babe took it to another level.
Lemme give u guys a rundown:
She walked up to me and told me I looked gorgeous and sexy. I said thanks and thought nothing of it.
She returned to say she wanted to dance with me. I smiled and said no politely and told her I was there with my Mr. She said hi to him and continued chatting me up (like a guy, offering to buy me a drink and all) like he was of no consequence.
She became persistent and began to get on my nerves cos she wouldn’t take no for an answer. My Mr, sensing that I was about to give her a tongue lashing, stepped in thinking she would chill. Guess what happened? This babe started pleading with him to let her have me for a few minutes. Huh?? I kept wondering if she had lost her mind.
My Mr’s friend found the situation so funny and he kept laughing. He even tried to hit on her but the babe wanted me. She kept pleading with us and finally left when she realised it would be futile.
That’s it!
Good job Afrobabe and Standtall for getting the lie right. Sorry Miss Definitely Maybe, no cheating on my blog babe :)
Take care everyone!

Helloooo...
Hi everyone, how r u guys doing? I’m doing great!!!
I missed y’all. Thanks for checking on me, all is well with me and mine.
2009 is here!!! Happy New Year to you and yours... I’m praying for a blessed and favourable 2009 for everyone... it’s a blessing to see another year and it will only get better – amen!
I’m sooo grateful to God for everything... for the past year, for His love, blessings, mercy, protection... He is faithful!
Well, I’m not gonna bore u guys with apologies for being MIA. Pls forgive me nonetheless. :)
Hmmm... I’ve got good news... my Mr and I got engaged over the holidays. Yay!!!!!!!!! Lol...
Ok, I wasn’t this excited when it happened. I was sooo emotional... I felt a rush of all kinds of emotions – in a good way... it’s just indescribable! (Two of my friends said they felt the same way when they got proposed to).
Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would react/feel that way. I mean, we talked about getting married and all that but I honestly didn’t see that proposal coming that day... he totally got me!
When he got down on one knee and popped the question, I was sooo shocked and surprised... all I kept saying was Oh my God! Oh my God!... till I heard "what’s your answer honey?" Lol...
I said yes and found myself crying and hugging him... Everything was caught on camera so I’ve got pictures to remind me of my cry baby face.
Oh well, what can I say?... I’m very happy! I thank God everyday for my fiancé (that felt weird. lol) He’s such a great guy and I love and appreciate him. I’m certainly looking forward to spending a lifetime with him. We haven’t set a date yet... will keep you guys posted.
Ok, enough about me, what have you guys been up to? I really wanna know... for real.
Hope everything is going well... family, work, school, business, love, friends etc.
Take care and have a great weekend.
L8r!

Somewhere in my past…
Hi people, hope you guys r doing great. Life is good so pls enjoy it to the fullest!!
Anyways, I’ve been kinda busy... I returned not too long ago and I’ve been taking my sweet time to unpack. Lol..
Men, I’ve just been all over the place, u know when u’re unsettled and u’re still in the vacation mood but u’ve got to get on with ur usual/normal life by force… yeah that’s how I’ve been feeling. Oh well, I believe I’ll bounce back pretty soon.
So, I got a call from an ex boyfie. I cut every form of communication with this particular guy cos our break up wasn’t mutual. Infact, I had to get realistic and take a really bold step to walk… abi run away from the relationship before I die in the name of love. Lol.. (Its so funny how I can laugh about it now... Life!!)
Have u ever been in a relationship where ur partner only sees ur flaws and always holds something against u, even when u apologise and make up…nothing like forgiveness in his/her books and he/she claims to love u?...
Where u find ur once happy and cheerful self becoming sad and miserable cos of constant fights and misunderstanding. No matter how much/hard u try to make things work, ur efforts don’t seem good enough.
Where ur partner doesn’t trust u and u have to constantly assure them of ur commitment… where they r extremely jealous that they suspect and falsely accuse u of infidelity and u know u r so faithful.
Where they r so insecure to the point of stupidity… where they start taking u for granted… u begin to ask urself, if u’re doing something wrong.
U find urself going on a journey u never bargained for… u feel like u r losing urself…
sometimes u just want to break free and return to the bliss u once knew – ur peace…
Sometimes u want to give up cos the pain they cause u is too intense… but its hard because u love them or maybe u’re too attached to them…
I’ve been in a similar situation before and trust me it ain’t pretty!!!
I’m so grateful to God that I realised that I was being sucked into… ( I can’t find the right word) and I had to get out asap.
At that time, I didn’t feel love, I don’t what I felt, I just felt like I was losing my life cos I had become a person I wasn’t, I felt empty... I had to seek God.
I prayed to God for the strength to set me free from that bondage (that’s the word) and He answered my prayers and even blessed me.
Right now, I don’t think I’ve known so much happiness all my life. I mean, I’m with the most wonderful man alive. He’s just God’s gift to me. We believe our relationship is ordained by God, considering the circumstances in which we met or started dating cos we knew each other when we were younger, how we kicked it immediately… sometimes it seems so unreal. I’m just grateful to God that I’m sharing this time of my life with someone who genuinely loves, respects and appreciates me as I do him.
Just wanted to share - While I was typing this post, my Mr sent a text to me saying “I luv u very much and I thank God everyday for blessing me with u. Will always luv u sweety.” Very heartfelt if u ask me. Now, I’m not trying to say my relationship/Mr is 150% perfect. We’ve got differences like most couples but once u’ve been with a... not so good man and God gives u a very good one, u really appreciate him. (I hope some babes can relate to this)
Back to my ex’s call: Dude starts telling me, he really f*#ked up with me, he regrets letting me go cos I’m a beautiful woman in and out, he misunderstood me, he’s a better man... yada yada yada... I had to cut him short and ended our conversation. I don’t need all that abeg. Lol...
I don’t hate him, I don’t regret dating him cos it was a learning experience, it was part of growing up cos I was really young. I just choose not to have him in my life.
I moved on with my life, wiser and stronger and NO we can’t be friends. lol.
I'll like to say this: If anyone is currently in an unhealthy relationship, PLEASE find the courage and strength to move on. No matter how difficult u think it is, Pray to God about it and u’ll be amazed... He is faithful!
I want u to know and believe that u deserve so much better and trust me, there r good people out there who will love u and appreciate u. (Well, as long as u r a good person. U can’t be Cruella de Vil and expect an angel. Lol.)
Ok, I know no one is perfect but I believe in personal growth. Carry out a form of soul searching… get to know who u r… know ur strengths and weaknesses… strive to become a better person everyday, there’s always room for improvement and most importantly pray to God and think positive. (Geez... am I digressing?? )
Anyways, I believe u choose the kind of life u want to live so please, think, be true to urself... If u r not happy in ur relationship and its eating deep into ur life, don’t just accept it, question it. Ur happiness should never be compromised.
So has anyone been in an unhealthy relationship (of any kind)? I’ll like to know how u were able to get out of it and move on. Pls share, no one knows, u might help someone out there.
Take care everyone,
All my luv
PS: Sorry guys, I know I said I would blog about the conversation I had with my friend, I changed my mind... for personal reasons.

Sweet sixteen
...in my dreams!! More like sweet twenty-something. I kinda feel old but I'm not... seriously. lol..
I thank God for another year, for the beautiful life I've got & I'm living. I feel blessed everyday and I'm so thankful to Him.
I had a wonderful birthday. Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone, but errm... where r my pressies?? U guys in Blogsville r stingy! lol
I spent the whole day with my sweetheart... Love is a beautiful thing!
Morning of my birthday:
12:00am -
Happy birthday honey! He gave me 3 customised cards and a pair of high heeled sandals that I'd been eyeing... similar to those Brandy had on in her "Right here (departed)" video. Funny thing is while I was oohing and aahing over the shoes the first time I saw the video, my Mr told me they were hideous. Guess, he just wanted to give me a nice surprise.
Anyways, he made me mad the previous day so I wasn't feeling his "happy birthday honey". Was that an attempt to make up? lol..
I kept saying - u've ruined my bday... How can I start my bday in a foul mood? This is horrible... I just wanna be left alone... blah blah blah... lol
Well, he apologised and we made up after my IGG (initial gra gra) and then we went to bed.
9:00am -
I feel him nudging me to wake up...
Mr: Honey, pls wake up and get ready, u have a 10:30am appointment. Don't even think of asking me what its for... Its a surprise...
U know it takes u an hour to get dressed so pls get up and take a shower while I'm out... I'll be gone for a minute, I just need to get something from the store.
I was still sleepy.. I finally rolled out of bed 15mins later. Huh?? Did he say 10:30am appointment? Whatever for?
When he returned I begged him to tell me where we were going.
He told me to stop begging him to talk cos I'd ruin the surprise... then he finally said "I'm taking u to get counseling honey. U know u're a shopaholic.. u need counseling... When u get there, introduce urself... say hi, my name is Aijay and I'm a shopaholic. My boyfriend brought me here cos he loves me and he doesn't want to be forced to file for bankruptcy before we get married."
Haha.. very funny! God knows I don't need counseling and I knew he wouldn't do that to me on my bday.
Mr was having a good laugh... (see as he use style tell me say make I slow down on my habit. I hear u sir!!)
Me: Ok, can u atleast tell me what to wear? (thot it'd give me a clue)
Mr: Be casual..wear a dress... a pair of shorts...jeans, anything!
Ok, I know u're curious. Take just one guess... if u're right, I'll let u know.
Me: (I couldn't think of anything) Umm... We're going to have breakfast?
Mr: LOL!! Do I need to make an appointment for that?
Relax honey, u'll love it! I'll leave u there and return in an hour to pick u up, ok?
We drove for about 40mins and arrived at this nice massage therapy centre.
Boy, that was a nice surprise. I sure needed a good massage.
He had booked an appointment for a full body deep tissue massage.
He kissed me and whispered in my ears, "I want u to start ur day in a relaxed mood."
My Mr being the typical jealous man specifically requested a female massuesse + massage therapist. She was really good... I felt so relaxed that I was already falling asleep when he returned to pick me up.
In the car, he asked me to look behind my seat, there was a designer wrist watch, one that I'd been going on about for sometime now. (My man pays too much attention. He's sooo thoughtful.) and two lovely bracelets. I didn't even realise how loud I screamed when I saw them.
Later in the afternoon:
He gives me a lovely green and gold dress. Honey, pls wear this dress for me this evening.
We're going out to dinner. My man is full of surprises and has excellent taste. The dress fit perfectly and I loved it.
Evening:
We had a nice dinner at a lovely restaurant with a beautiful view. Wish I could put up pics...
At night:
I put on a pair of shorts and my latest heels (couldn't wait to rock them)
We went dancing till the wee hours of the morning...
The next morning I was so tired... guess what? He brought me breakfast in bed and we spent the whole day indoors. (Isn't he the sweetest?)
Highlight of my day was the massage and the cards... I teared up a bit when I read them later. His words were too sweet!! Oh, I loved the watch, the dress... spending the whole day with him... everything!!! lol
So thats it! Bday gone, but well spent... (I love u babes. Thanks for making my day so special.)
I know I said I would give a run down of the convo I had with my friend but I couldn't resist the urge to share this with u guys. I've started typing the post though, I'll publish it as soon as I'm done.
Take care everyone... stay safe.
L8r!
I thank God for another year, for the beautiful life I've got & I'm living. I feel blessed everyday and I'm so thankful to Him.
I had a wonderful birthday. Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone, but errm... where r my pressies?? U guys in Blogsville r stingy! lol
I spent the whole day with my sweetheart... Love is a beautiful thing!
Morning of my birthday:
12:00am -
Happy birthday honey! He gave me 3 customised cards and a pair of high heeled sandals that I'd been eyeing... similar to those Brandy had on in her "Right here (departed)" video. Funny thing is while I was oohing and aahing over the shoes the first time I saw the video, my Mr told me they were hideous. Guess, he just wanted to give me a nice surprise.
Anyways, he made me mad the previous day so I wasn't feeling his "happy birthday honey". Was that an attempt to make up? lol..
I kept saying - u've ruined my bday... How can I start my bday in a foul mood? This is horrible... I just wanna be left alone... blah blah blah... lol
Well, he apologised and we made up after my IGG (initial gra gra) and then we went to bed.
9:00am -
I feel him nudging me to wake up...
Mr: Honey, pls wake up and get ready, u have a 10:30am appointment. Don't even think of asking me what its for... Its a surprise...
U know it takes u an hour to get dressed so pls get up and take a shower while I'm out... I'll be gone for a minute, I just need to get something from the store.
I was still sleepy.. I finally rolled out of bed 15mins later. Huh?? Did he say 10:30am appointment? Whatever for?
When he returned I begged him to tell me where we were going.
He told me to stop begging him to talk cos I'd ruin the surprise... then he finally said "I'm taking u to get counseling honey. U know u're a shopaholic.. u need counseling... When u get there, introduce urself... say hi, my name is Aijay and I'm a shopaholic. My boyfriend brought me here cos he loves me and he doesn't want to be forced to file for bankruptcy before we get married."
Haha.. very funny! God knows I don't need counseling and I knew he wouldn't do that to me on my bday.
Mr was having a good laugh... (see as he use style tell me say make I slow down on my habit. I hear u sir!!)
Me: Ok, can u atleast tell me what to wear? (thot it'd give me a clue)
Mr: Be casual..wear a dress... a pair of shorts...jeans, anything!
Ok, I know u're curious. Take just one guess... if u're right, I'll let u know.
Me: (I couldn't think of anything) Umm... We're going to have breakfast?
Mr: LOL!! Do I need to make an appointment for that?
Relax honey, u'll love it! I'll leave u there and return in an hour to pick u up, ok?
We drove for about 40mins and arrived at this nice massage therapy centre.
Boy, that was a nice surprise. I sure needed a good massage.
He had booked an appointment for a full body deep tissue massage.
He kissed me and whispered in my ears, "I want u to start ur day in a relaxed mood."
