The Elevens!

Hey dearies! Oh yes, I haven’t been here in a while. I just had too much to do. My final exams which I’m still writing, a particular project that you all will hear about soon because God knows I need your support and other issues that are just ...crazy. Thank you all for all your comments. God bless ya. *blowing kisses*

Adieu to all the people that lost their lives in the Dana air tragedy. I lost a distant relative, a young business man and an only son. May God heal broken hearts and may their souls rest in perfect peace. 

So the beautiful OddNaijaChic tagged me in the Elevens [Thanks sweetie]. There are rules to follow as usual. You must post the rules. You must say Eleven things about yourself. Create Eleven questions, then choose Eleven people, tag them to answer your questions. Let these bloggers know you tagged them. No tag backs. Let the blogger that tagged you know you answered their questions.

Okay.

First, I have said quite a lot about me on this blog. So to read more than Eleven things about me, click HERE and HERE. I haven’t changed much. Well, expect for the breakouts on my face due to stress and all.

Now to answer her questions..


 1. If you had to name the one thing that frightens you most about growing old, what would it be?

Okay, let me see....Grey hair? No. I will cut my hair short and and manage it well. Wrinkles? I already have laugh lines that I got from my mum’s side of the family so what’s there to fear? It has to be my eyes. I am short sighted [yes those huge eyes can’t see as far as they should] and I sincerely hope the situation doesn’t get worse with age. I pray it doesn’t because that would make me really miserable.

2. 500 years from now, only one book which exists today will still be available. Which book should it be?

The Holy Bible and I am not trying to be religious here. The Bible is quite an interesting book and it does have everything that mankind needs. It preaches love, hope, sincerity, faith, compassion to say a few. It has well written songs[Psalms] and insightful Proverbs.

3. Name something you do when you are alone that you wouldn't do in front of others.

Some exercises that involve throwing my legs anyhow any how in my underwear in front of a mirror. I laugh at myself sometimes when I want to do a move and fail woefully. I don’t want anyone seeing that biko [The ‘unsexiness’ of  some of them. *shudders*]

4. What is the most annoying thing that someone could do to you?

Take my easy going and down to earth nature for granted. [Oh boy! You no go try am again] or scream at me in public even if I was the one that offended you. [For what na? Wait until we are out of the there or at least not within ear shot of complete strangers]

5. If you had only 24 hours to live, what would you do?

Oh that’s easy. I will spend the day with my family, bestie and that special one, go shopping with my mum and talk about how I lived my life and all that. Spend the last hours singing to them. And laughing something fierce. Beats the hell out of not knowing when you’re going.

6. If you could have one super power, what would you want and why?

I want Jean of XMEN’s power more than ever right now [Serious face]. I would be able to control things with my mind. [All those uniformed men that kill people for nothing for hear am. If I run into them, na to control the gun comot from their hands and their gun go begin to threaten them for mid air. How cool is that? They would so repent. Imagine what I would do to all these other ‘people’ causing mayhem all over the country]

7. If a movie were made about your life, what would the theme song be?

Oh my! I thought about this for a while. It would be You gotta be by Des’ree. It says it all really. 

Des'ree

8. Think of the last time you were REALLY angry. WHY were you angry? Do you still feel the same way?

At a sibling for doing something ....Yeah, whenever I remember.

9. What do you think would be the hardest thing for you to give up and why would it be hard to lose?

Doing a lot with my mother. I know it is weird but if you have a mother like mine who you keep learning new things from everyday asides the fact that she’s the most intelligent, sweetest , most loving and caring and smartest woman I know, you will totally understand. It’s almost always fun to be with her. We have been through a lot together and are a kindred spirit. Like she used to say ‘we come from the same place’. Well, I will have to give some of that up to start a family of my own. And dance ‘azonto’ when she comes for ‘omugwo’. Lol

10. What do you do when you are bored?

Depends. I could watch a movie, use the threadmill, visit a friend or sleep the day away.

11. What is the best compliment you have ever received?

You are amazing dear. Everyone should have a ‘you’ in their lives. Awww....
