My First Date

"Hey GL"Le crush pinged."Hi dear, how are you?" I replied happily. "The mumu couldn't even call me something sweet for once... nawa o" I thought sadly. "Err, I was wondering if you would be free on Friday by 1pm..." he wrote. "Sure! I am..." I replied happily."Anything for you boo", I added in my mind. I dare not tell him I have a crush on him. Lai lai! I can't let my  ego be dragged into the mud on top boy-matter. I'd rather keep it to myself...and my girlfriends. That was it sha. I started preparing for my first date with my crush. "Maybe he's crushing on you too", my friends teased. The thought brought life to my cheeks a little. Gosh! I can blush for India.

Back to my  preparations, the first on my list was what to wear. I went through my wadrobe and no cloth seemed appropriate for my first date with Le crush. I quickly rushed to the closest ATM point to check my account balance. Friday was just 4 days away. My account was blinking red but I didn't mind... All for love. I pinged my close friend and in less than an hour, we were in the nearest market shopping for a befitting outfit. I was too anxious and excited.

Friday came and he called.I took a last look at myself through the mirror and smiled a smile satisfaction.I got outside and saw him looking so handsome in a simple polo and denim trousers. As usual he smiled at me."wow GL is this you? You're looking more beautiful than ever" ,"oshey fans" I said quickly entering the car before he notices I'm blushing. He entered the car and off we went. "GL, err... I have something to tell you" "Yes? What is it?", I flashed a smile at him, flaunting my dimples. "Wow, how come I'm just noticing you had cute dimples?" he said, smiling. "Tha...." I was about replying when I felt a tap on my lap. "GL, are you listening to me at all?" Ooh shit!! He interuppted my beautiful daydream. I forced a fake smile "Errrm, I didn't hear u jor. Please, repeat yourself..." I said quickly. He sighed and shook his head. "So, I've been talking to myself since eh? What are you thinking about sef?" "You na" I said jokingly. "Haha... If I hear " he said, laughing."So how them boys na,I'm sure they are queuing for u" he teased. "Which boys eh,abeg no whine me" I replied. "ehn GL of life! how's your friend na?" He asked. "The mumu girl is kuku fine" I replied innocently.

The journey was smooth and there was no traffic (ope o!),so we got there quite fast.

We eventually arrived at the place. It was a fast food place at Surulere. It was below my expectations but I go sha manage am like that. All for love. We placed our orders. I requested for a snack and my precious fanta pineapple. He placed his order and we started gisting. We discussed random topics for a while, cracked jokes and all. Then, he cleared his throat ."Err, GL there's something I wanna discuss with you". "Finally! He's gonna pop the question I've been dying to hear", I thought. "Yes? I'm listening..." my heart was racing. Lord help me. "I have a crush on your friend and I need your help" "w-o-o-w" I swiftly raised my head, accidentally spilling my drink in the process. "Yes, I love her so much and I dunno how to tell her..." he continued in a determined way, not caring whether I had just spilled my drink or not...

Kai!! Humans are wicked and heartless! After spending my last kobo trying to look beautiful for him, he had to break my heart in such a grand way...? What a romantic heart break. Taking me out on a date just to break my heart...? How cruel. "Awwwww, so sweet,tell her na.
 I forced a smile, wishing I could wake up from this nightmare. "Please, can u help me ehn GL? You know you're my friend na,what are friends for?" he pleaded. Quietly and slowly sipping the remains of my spilled drink, I stared down, wondering "What kind of zone is this???"

My Heartbreak

Hi everyone!! Thanks for comments and love you showed me in my last post. I was overwhelmed. Errr, my friend Dickson has come again o. Lol! Dunno the girl that broke his heart tho, if I catch her ehn......

>>Looking in her eyes is like watching the sunrise from the balcony of a beach house in the Bahamas, her smile, don't even go there, it can melt the strongest of heart. "She is the one", I said to myself. 'Love at first sight' that's the name they give to such cases. I have always bragged not to allow any girl make me weak like this, but was i weak? I think I was even stronger than how i was before. She happened to be in my School, my Faculty, my Department and my Class!! That only made it worse or maybe better because I had the chance to see her almost every other day so I always had the opportunity to appreciate the handwork of God almost every other day.
  
"Hi my name is Dickson" I summoned the remaining courage I didn't even believe I had to introduce myself to her "hello my name is *******" she replied me with her voice like that of the cool breeze that emanates from the ocean, with a  smile that only the angels can know how it came about, that finally melted my heart! I couldn't lie to myself now, she is the one I wanted. I just couldn't explain it, it even seemed like i wanted her more that i wanted her, like a loop that can never terminate.

I couldn't even close my eyes anymore without me seeing her. Was I obsessed or was it that the love was strong? I didn't even want to find out the only thing that I thought was that i have fallen into that  love pit I have always been cautious of and it will take more than a rope to get me out of it now. Time went by like it always does and we already were good friends and maybe even close. I knew she knew I felt something for her but I always thought she was waiting for me to make the first move, I did after a very long time of nursing that huge  amount of feelings inside.

It was the first day of April I picked up my phone and poured out my heart on my phone to the extent I got it wet with the feelings I have for her through a text message and sent it to her. Expectation was high, my heart was racing anticipating her reply, felt like my heart was ready to jump out from my  chest any moment because it had already navigated it's way to my throat, forget this long talk, all I am trying to say is that I was nervous. My phone rang, it was her! Now my heart  was already in my mouth I was just about to spit it out when she told me "NO!!!!" Those two letters were enough to send my heart back not even to it's original position but my stomach! "Dickson I can't be yours because I have somebody already" she continued. I thought she will call me back and tell me that was her April fool prank on me and reverse her decision but it was for real!! Wow! Her heart taken is the cause of my own heart breaking, what I always avoided is happening to me in HD..

Social Media Madness (2)

Hii, I promised to post my own version of Social Media Madness.If you havent read my friend's version,click here .

Flashback: Before 2002,there were no mobile phones,no laptops. Desktop computers were for the rich. Infact only rich people used the cyber cafe.Life was simple yet complicated. Communication was slow and difficult.You have to wait for weeks before your letters get to its recipient .Relationships survived through love letters and occasional sneaking out of your parents house to see the boo. 

Let me fast forward to this present times. Shortly after phones were introduced to Nigeria ,social networks started springing up. It started with Hi5,the beautiful themes ,chatting with strangers,making online friend
Hi5 was the shi  if you weren't on hi5,my dear you still live in d stone age. Not long after ,Facebook stole the show from hi5.  It proved itself worthy with the better interface and advanced features. Facebook was off the hook. Even if you didn't have beautiful pictures,some random guy will still inbox you.Many relationships sprang forth from Facebook.It was the first time I'd hear of a relationship where the both parties have never seen each other.

 We were still enjoying Facebook jejely, when a fiercer wave hit the social media world.The blackberry messenger!. Everybody wanted to own a blackberry.It was crazy.People sold their kidneys to get a blackberry. I almost sold mine self. Every where you go 8 out of 10 people owned a blackberry. It was so crazy that our dear Nollywood had to make a movie titled "blackberry babes".

 It was the rave of the moment.You see girls threatening their boyfriends 'you see honey if you don't buy me a black berry ehn...
It was the biggest hit in the social media world. Kudos to RIM on that.Guys no longer asked for phone numbers ,they ask for pins.If you don't have , then they reluctantly ask for your phone number. You self you be wondering 'why don't I have a black berry self'.

People did anything they could to get a black berry,including buying London used phones and Nigeria stolen phones which were cheaper.If you are a unilag chick and you didn't have a black berry then,well....

 While still recovering from the Blackberry virus, another crazy virus hit the social media world. Twitter!!!. At first it was boring. Later it got really fun and interesting especially if you have many followers. If you have less than 1000 followrs on Twitter ,you are a newbie. Gradually Facebook became outdated since our darling parents decided to invade on our privacy all in the name of feeling funky. We just had to relocate to a better abode. Twitter was just the right place.

So many interesting things happen on Twitter ,there is always hot gist.The thirst for followers and attention was deep, some of the girls posed half naked to get male attention ,the guys tweet sexual things or at worst buy followers. only a few people got followers in a decent manner. Guys got free sex easily ,every one always trying to be a contradiction of who they are in reality.Everyone trying to please their followers and gain online popularity and respect. Twitter is really a crazy place. Its the current rave of the moment.

There is also Instagram, social network for the bigzz people. Only smartphones like Iphone, bb10 and tecno android can access it. Most people use it to flaunt their wealth and fine fine clothes.Thank God for the magic filters,every one on Instagram is beautiful/handsome. Bet if you still worwor after all the filters,well......sorry. 

Wait..I almost forgot Whatsapp!.Whatsapp is basically a chatting application, just like the blackberry messenger,bet him craze no too plenty sha.

This write up would be incomplete if I didn't mention 2go,badoo,eskimi,.There's no much madness in these sites tho,maybe that's why they are in d lower part of the social media chain. Who knows what social network is gonna be the next rave?*thinking*
