Between you and me

"Mum, no one has to tell me how lucky I am to have you because I've always known for a long time. When I think back over the years and remember all the special things you've done for me, I realise that you're not only a wonderful mum, you're also a unique woman.  

You've taught so much about life and love and giving, and those are lessons I'll never forget. You've shown me how to stand on my own in the world, and for that I'll always be grateful. So many things that have added to my happiness have been gifts from you."

 The quote above are the words on the card I got for my mum. It's her birthday today and everything I wanted to tell her was written on this card. If I still wrote, these are the things I'd write to her. I know everyone says it, but I love my mother...from the depth of my soul, my inner being and with every bone in my body. She made me who I am today. My earth angel, always watching and always guiding. Between you and me mama, you're wonderful! Maybe not my best friend, but a very dear friend.
I love you mummy. Love always Titilope

Till next time Peace, Love, Harmony and Respect to you and yours.

I got a hug

I came on blogger unprepared to type up an entry really, so this post may end up being extremely random but the bottom line is: I am Happy! I am thankful, words of praise can't stop filling my heart. As I type I'm singing a praise song. God has been good!

It's 2 days to my birthday and I can't help but be excited, yes I know it's just another day in the year, but on that day some twenty something years ago a child was born~ME!!!!

I have every reason to thank God. I may not have it all, but His grace has been sufficient for me. His grace has kept me. I may not be perfect and even sometimes undeserving, but God has remained ever merciful and faithful, so yes I have every reason to be happy. Just at the beginning of this week, I was feeling slightly under the weather and I said God, this is my week, this is my month, I shall have no illness, I shall receive total healing and He answered me. Over the years I have learnt to count my blessings, one by one by one...and each time I am convinced that I am a miracle and a testimony.

Hahahaha it's starting to sound like I'm preaching, but it's just gratitude. I can say that I do not have all that I WANT, but at the moment I have all that I NEED and for that I'm content.

Today a friend (randomly) sent me a hug on bbm and told be not to ask why, although I'm curious as to why, I received and return the hug. It's the little things in life that counts, the hugs, the "I love you", the "I just wanted to see how you're doing", just a smile, a wink, just the look that tells the other person that which words cannot express. It's always in the little things.

May God teach us to always number our days, so that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Till the next time Peace, Love, Harmony and Respect to you and your's

P.S Happy Birthday ME!!!! (Sept 18)

Good bye August... Hello September

So my birthday is coming in September *yay* and as promised I'm putting up my wish list, it includes things I wish i could afford to gift myself, things I would get myself or wish someone (a friend or family) would be kind enough to gift me. Here goes...

Louis Vuitton Monogram Idylle (Fusain)

You can see how gorgeous this bag is,whaaaaattttt I've been dreaming of this baby and one day (soon), it'll be mine!

Next is this adorable Michael Kors wrist watch, you see the colour right? Now you know why i have to have it *bats lashes*

Ok, Ok any purple strap watch will do just fine,in fact any watch for that matter :D

I've always wanted a maxi dress, I can so see myself rocking this on a very casual saturday for brunch with the "manz" after a long night of partying and errrr... or to the beach even *sigh*

Ofcourse I need a new blackberr' (pronounce as spelt, lol), aka the good addiction

I'd love to read this, it falls under the category "I can afford" plus I love to read and it's by a Nigerian Author...

Ofcourse you weren't expecting me to have a wish list with no shoes in it?!

These shoes aren't exactly what I want, just similar styles,if you get what I mean...who am I kidding? I adore these shoes!!!

Really, honestly and truly what I want for my birthday (asides from that thing I told God *cough* a good man *cough*). I want to grow stronger spiritually and mentally, get smaller physically (lepa or die trying remember?), be with family and friends that day, celebrating and toasting to a new year and to many more years of happiness, joy from within, peace of mind, growth and stability.

Here's hoping your September be better than your August.
Till the next time. Peace, Love, Harmony and Respect to you and yours.

Little Prima Donna

August can like to end, so the beautiful month of September can begin...

Yea you can guess right? It’s my birth month and you know what that means? PARTAAY! Lol ok I kid (not). It means I’m growing older and hopefully wiser and stronger. Bla bla bla.

So I enjoy planning and organising parties and events (I see a money making venture coming out of this passion), don’t let me digress... anyway so my friends are looking forward to my birthday, me sef I’ve made mouth about how it’s going to be a weekend thing, I’ve gotten people excited, including myself. But I’ve been thinking *silence bollz is thinking* since my account is not exactly in the green at the moment, and there are many other things I need this (non-existent) money for let me maintain my level abi?

Where did this come from you may ask? I’ve been excited about my birthday party prospects since last year and now I’m changing my mind? Well minds are made to be changed, and I just may be changing mine.

I think I agree with Zara that I may be a lil high maintenance, yea maybe just a little bit na. We were discussing the cake for my birthday and I said I wanted a cake with a Louboutin shoe on it, complete with the red sole showing... What?! Can’t a girl know what she wants again? *side-eye*

The wants of the man are unlimited (we were taught that in Eco101) and so are the wants of this young woman, but we all know resources are limited. This DIY life isn’t easy, if I want something I have to do it myself, I want a party? I throw myself one, I want gifts? I buy them myself... I want to be happy? I have to make myself happy. So what do I do? Throw a party, make my friends happy as well as myself and in turn shell out major money or buy myself that bag I’ve been eyeing, those shoes that have been calling my name and that watch that I need and make me a VERY happy birthday girl? Or maybe even use the money to re-package my dear “Purple Props” or take a weekend trip to Ghana or Gambia, but what’s the fun in that if you are by yourself?

That said I think I’ve already found the perfect dress for a beach party- To buy or not to buy? That is the question. I already know the hairstyle sef, I can already see myself... I know what cake I want, where I want to do it, the people I’ll invite... Yes! I think I agree I’m a little prima donna, how I became like this I don’t know, it takes years of practice I guess. LOL! Oh and let me add my now reducing waistline in conjunction with my shrinking backside (not quite bikini ready tho)

So yea whatever I decide you will know, cuz while I was typing I got an update, so who knows *big grin* next post will be my 2010 wish list *grins again*

Till next time, Peace, Love, Harmony and Respect to you and yours.
