I got a marriage proposal yesterday from the most unlikely sources!!! Seriously. I am still mega freaked out. Well, maybe not too freaked out but gosh... that was the weirdest experience ever. *Mental shake-down* Grrrrr...!!!!

This was not one of those experiences that have me laughing, mba. I am close to tears actually. I cannot even concentrate on work today, my mind keeps shifting to the marriage proposal I got yesterday.

I was jejely in my apartment watching Vampire Diaries and drooling over Damon, when I heard the doorbell ring. Curious to see who it was because the security men usually call me to alert me of guests, I padded barefoot to the door and saw this dude standing in a uniform through the peep-hole. Recognizing him, I opened my door.

"Albert, what's up? Is everything alright?" I asked
"Errmm, yes. I actually wanted to speak with you about something very important. May I come in please, Miz?" he replied

I gestured for him to come inside and sit down.

"Please, can you go and wear something different? Don't be offended oh. I just cannot concentrate to tell you what I want with you in these clothes." he said just as I was about to sit down and hear his reason for being in my apartment.

Shuo!!!! I surprise no be small oh!! You come my house dey order wetin I go wear. Anyway, really curious at this time, I went in to change from my bum shorts to a maxi dress.

"E-hen, oya talk Albert. What's up? Person die?" I queried as soon as I returned to the living room
"No oh. Ha-ha. God forbid. Nobody will die in Jesus name, haaa!!!" I just had to roll my eyes at this point. Would he get to the point already or get out and allow me continue my Damon love.

"Actually, I have been having a particular dream for the past one week. I have fought and fought. I have even prayed and prayed, but it seems I had no option but to conquer my shyness and come to meet you today. You know, sometimes somethings come to us through dreams. God reveals supernatural things to us, and I am what my people would call a 'wuli' in my church. I do not know if you understand yoruba but that means 'seer'. I see things through dreams and they always come true. You have to believe and ..."

"Dude, you need to speak up. I have stuff to do. Stop dancing around. Did they tell you I am going to grow horns in your dream? abi they just sent you to come and grate on my nerves." I interrupted him mid- speech because I see the dude gearing up for an hour long sermon

"Sorry" To my great surprise, this dude went down on one knee and fished this plastic case containing an emel ring out of his pocket.

"You were revealed to me as my wife. I have prayed and prayed about it and God has told me you are my missing rib. The mother of my 6 children. The woman that will comfort me in my old age. Please Miz, consider the courage it took me to come up here and talk to you. Consider God before you reject me. I can see you are about to. Please."

Eeehhhnnn... I was about to race out of there. That was just a tad too eerie, like WTH!!! My security man just proposed to me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could not even move to save my life. I was shell- shocked, I swear down. I just sat there like a truck just ran over me.

After about 10 minutes of my mouth hanging open and my eyes bulging out of their sockets, I just had to do something before the guy would probably take my silence for consent and slip the ring onto my finger. That thought had me standing up like the fires of hell had taken over my seat.

"Errmm, Albert. Thank you very much for your courage, but you should have saved it for your real wife. Trust me, if God reveals the same thing to me no wahala. But God has revealed to me that my husband will be richer than me when I meet him and better than me over- all. Am I going to be feeding you and clothing you? I already pay your salary. No offense meant oh, I mean I truly appreciate your courage. You are very bold, and your ring is quite cute too (it was tacky actually), but sorry, NO has to do. Thank you for coming ehn..." I quickly ushered him to the door and ran to call Seke who promptly burst into laughter. Ol' boy, see me see wahala oh!! Who did I offend na? Cheiii...!!!

On a brighter note biko, I know talented people who make beautiful things you would not want to miss. Check these out...

The Dream Wedding by Mai

I feel loads better today after my blind date from hell. And hey!!! It's a friday, yo!!! Every reason to be happy. I am not going out tonight though. No be so waka dey my leg. I am staying in tonight. Finally, I can relax and dream about my wedding coming up in "God knows when". I should blame Mai for this. He created "The Dream Wedding" as he promised. I am still salivating over those gowns and the grooms... They made me look around for a Priest to bind us together. There were two grooms that caught my eye as well as that of all the ladies present, I bet *rme*. Gosh, sexiness doesn't even complete their description. One of them like Mila Kunis said in "Friends with Benefits", looks like his body was photoshopped!!
Dayuuummm!!! When his shirt was unbuttoned by his bride, I screamed in ecstacy!! *closingMyEyes* (Okay, so I screamed in my head and not out loud), but my eyes were as wide as they can ever get! That dude was finger-licking jaw dropping sexy!! And the other dude... He had this clean-cut fine boy look. A smile filled with knowledge, and eyes that strip one bare. Where did Mai get them oh?! *FansSelf*

The venue was like a scene straight out of an exotic fantasy. Brimming with sexy colors, I could feel the romance. I wanted to be the one dressed in a wedding dress by Mai with the man I love standing beside me, saying our vows to each other. That's how romantic the venue was. And the music... Gosh!! Whom do I start with? Chidimma who sang the song I swear by... "At Last"? Or Yemi Alade who thrilled us to "Sweet Love", abi Bez who had me totally enraptured, I thought I was going to cry from the sheer beauty of his voice, the lyrics, and his excellent guitar skills. He mixes soul with jazz and RnB. Beautiful!!!
There were other artistes there... Waje the babe that wants to drink garri with her man (for where!!!), Dipo the fuji (I think) crooner, Obiwon whose song "Obimuo" still reminds me of my ex, and Nyanya of the Project Fame academy. Great choices, Mai!!

And then, una know say your babe like better thing ba? I gorged on dessert!! Two servings and I still wanted more. Those cakes were wow!!! Thumbs up to Cakes by Tosan!!! But wait oh... E be like say mehn wan take over oh!! Wedding gown na man, cake na man... Kilode?! I won't lie sha, men seem to do it even better! Just like men doing hair, nails, and being my personal doctor. Oya go on, call me an "ashie" like Somi. Hehehe.

My eyes are beginning to glaze from hunger, but this gist won't be complete without my mentioning the "royal wedding" between Uti Nwachukwu and Munachi Abii. That kiss... Hmmm... E be like say Uti has been dreaming about it for a while oh! But it was quite romantic. There was a bouquet toss as expected, and a married babe caught the bouquet. What was she doing in line? Hehehe. But she sweetly gave it to a friend of hers. Congratulations in advance, babe! Lol.

I am off, darlings. Time to travel to La La Land. Be careful out there tonight!
Hugs and Hershey Kisses,

Blind Date... eish!!!

If you follow me on twitter, then you know what I was up to on monday evening. I went on a date with Colin Farrell's character in "Horrible Bosses". Seriously! Well, figuratively. In looks and character, this dude walked straight out of "The Freaky Weirdos" (is there a movie with that name?)
His hair had obviously been permed and slicked back. He must have adored Oliver De Coque. He is beginning to go bald, I should say. Go figure how his head looked. His lips were wet and guys with wet lips disgust me endlessly. He kept licking them all through the evening and had white marks on the edges of his lips... I could not eat a bite!! *GAG*
He had small beady eyes that kept undressing me and made me feel so dirty (I scrubbed so hard when I got home!) He's got a potbelly, but that did not stop him from wearing this really tight shirt that made me keep looking to see if a button had popped.

That one no do the guy oh!!! He can't speak correct English to save his life. He mixed his tenses so badly, it hurt. You know the worst part though? His voice!! He's got this voice that can be heard a mile away!! He was so generous with his phone conversations as well as ours, that I'm sure the people downstairs benefited from it. We all got to hear about the rolls royce parked in his village mansion and the palazzo he bought in spain for his and his "bebe" (pronounced as written) to relax when "legos" becomes too stressful.

"You know I have work hard to earn my money. It did not comes easy to me at all. I have struggle and today it have end. I can afford to traveled everywhere in this world and treat my "bebe" to the same thing. Let me tell you nne, you think I left work to come and play with you? I am wanting serious affair here. Be good to me and in less than 6months, I marry you!"

Oh hell NO!!!! That was just too much mehn!! I stood up, picked up my bag and forgetting how tired I was, I marched out of the restaurant!! For what na!!! Meee, Miz, I don suffer... Kai!!!! Be "good to him". Did my aunt tell that dude the caliber of people I roll with?
It's not his fault sha. I was being nice to my aunt when I agreed to go even though I should have paid attention to my instincts. Who names their kid "Erastus", biko?! I should have run when I heard that was his name, but nice girl wan kill me.

"Erastus Okoro"... Eishhh... What a very unsexy name!!!!

But the dude get liver sha, I no go lie. He saw a lady dressed to the teeth like I was, my perfect diction, and still said I should be "nice" to him so he can marry me. Who dey find husband?! Taaa...!!!!
I still have not gotten over it oh. Thank God he does not have my number or anything.
I haven't called my aunt yet. I am still so pissed. Na me she look finish, come throw give Erastus Okoro?! That dude should be with someone named "Ekwutosi" who would give him a huge smile when he opens his mouth to bleat. Bush man!

I wanted to gist y'all about "The Dream Wedding" by Mai Atafo Inspired, but this gist don weak me. I'm off to bed. Talk to y'all later, okay?

Are You Ready?

Hola amigos! Buenos días!!!

Hahahaha!!! For my mind now, I sabi speak spanish oh!! Abeg, make I hail una with my mama tongue before my mouth twist!...

"Ndewo nu o. Unu abolachi?"

E-hen. That sounded loads better, I think (well, it will be sweet music to my grandma who is always on my case to speak the language). That is a problem we are having in naija though. I salute the yoruba and hausa people. They are proud of their language no matter how polished they are, but my fellow "nna men", different gist. We want to speak with british-chinese accents because we have gone to school. Okay, so not all of us but a good number sha. It pains me when I have to endure speech from these my people...

"Oh yels (insert british-chinese accent here) (infact, it is "yeks" to some and "yeiz" to quite a few).

Abeg, that one alone don do. You must have gotten the gist. It can be hilarious though. My ex- always had so much fun on days I decided to be a mimic. I am quite good at that.
Hold on, I can hear my people from other tribes laughing. Make una park well, so I no go enter una oh! Hehehe

You must have guessed I am excited today. I don't know why oh! Maybe because this cappucino has something other than mere caffeine in it. I have to ask these people oh... Hmmnnn. Or maybe it is because of the upcoming events I will be attending.
The Fashion lounge is launching their fashion event this thursday at Chrome and Exquisite designer Mai Atafo will be officially launching his "Weddings by Mai" on sunday at The Incubator.

For those of you interested in attending, you will be updated on how to get the IV to "weddings by Mai" via twitter, so follow me now @officialMiz. The IV costs #10,000.00 only.
And for the fashion lounge VIP event, send your name and email address to info@fashionloungeng.com to get on the guestlist. This event will be covered by MTV Base and is a gathering of the fashion VIPs.

Nobody should say I don't carry them along oh! That was how somebody attacked me for attending The Nehemiah Project and not broadcasting it. I announced it on twitter!! No be everytime I go dey type long story. With twitter, 140 letters and I am done. The event was the ish though!! Cobhams absolutely wowed me, I swear!! Jeez...!!!

Okay darlings, I have to dash out now. Work calls. Once again, let us gist on twitter!!!
Hugs and hershey kisses
