Ok, so.........

So i haven't blogged like i said i was going to. So sue me! Vacation is finally over and i must say i'm tres triste :o( I can hardly believe that the time flew by so fast but alas, work beckons and i must heed its horn blaring signal. So let me just quickly give a synopsis of what's going on:

ThisDay Music Fest
Lots of people are going on this bad boy, i just don't think i'll be going sha. The line up sounds fantastic and all and seems they took care of the N100,000 paying, sitting in white picnic chairs in a crowded area problem that really didn't do it for me last year, but I don't know........What i'm really wanting is anyone who knows the deal on where Ne-Yo and John Legend will be either staying or partying so i can go stalk them.........yeah, there's no shame in my game oh! If i come back with a little yellow John Legend baby won't y'all come to my baby shower?!?! na so.....

Comments
I noticed recently that i've been slacking in responding to comments left on my blog. I apologize for that oh! I really just didn't notice that I had stopped responding so I'll make more of an effort now. Afterall I wanna thank y'all for stopping by no?

Final Showdown at Work
I've been blogging for some time now that there's so much going on at my workplace and there's some sort of restructuring that we were all waiting for? well, that took place the day before my vac. So now i have a new job title and all, still not sure what that means.......i don't think it's bad, in fact i quite like it and it's in line with what i actually consider myself to be but still, it's weird. I am also now in a new unit which I'm not so sure how it will function. All this i have to look forward to as the work week begins for me after my hiatus.....i have to say though that I have a new/ refreshed way of looking at all this stuff now. Don't sweat the small stuff, stay your ground, and show results!

Lagos v. Boston
So as my mom and I were heading to the airport, I start to lament about why oh why can't nigerians (lagosians) just act like civilized humans instead of wild animals? i mean, americans aren't better than nigerians, so how come they follow rules? how come they don't have 5 lanes of cars going in one direction on a road clearly demarcated as a two way, one lane each? it don't make no sense to me. Anyhoo, so my mom then suggests that maybe someone should direct a documentary and show it on CNN called "How Crazy People Live"............ I just burst out laughing at that!!! so any directors out there want to take the mantle?

What Are You Doing?
There's been someone in my life since I was 19. He's been my best friend and confidant for almost all that time. When I was younger he wanted to take our relationship to the next level and me being so young at the time, I was scared, afraid, and unfocused so I gave all kinds of excuses. Still I always thought we would somehow get married. How could we not? Anyhoo, dude tells me recently that he's thinking of proposing to his girlfriend. I don't know how to deal with this or how to handle it.... I know I made a mistake and he's the good guy that got away but I was young at the time....I think i'm gonna get drunk and cry uncontrollably the day he actually tells me he's engaged....

Great Loves
which leads me to this question.....I was having a conversation with someone recently and they mentioned that so and so person was the great love of another person's life and that got me thinking, even though i'm still young, do I really have someone I can consider the great love of my life? Certainly there are people that are quite significant in my life, but THE great love? It's a hard question but i'm not married so that gives me hope that perhaps my great love is still in the future! how about you, who's the great love (romantic love) of your life?

Whew! see what a few extra hours at an airport will do for you?

Damn @ the thought of your friend proposing to someone else...

Almost reminds me of the movie, "my best friends wedding..."

Have you ever thought about talking to him, like actually telling him how you feel and all?

Well if things dont work out then your Mr. Right is somewhere else...and coming soon!

Hi there...
@ bobby, don't you think at this point it's a bit too late to let him know?Especially if his in-love with someone else. Just wondering, and hoping it won't spoil their friendship.

Incidentally, i'm in a bit of the same situation, only that his not proposing to anyone; but i kinda believe his "that great love" (if really there is something like that)for me. Many times i want to tell him how i feel but end up not doing it... (sorry, i'm about to make it a mini post on someone else's blog)

But anyway, i do believe that there is a certain feeling a female gets when she meets the "one" and that feeling is panging and does not go away... so check if u've got that feeling yet...I'm sure his around
somewhere...

ps. and i'm no hopeless romantic either...

back to work, baby! remember a time when i had a serious crush on a friend. we got so close and shared almost everything. Just when i thot it was 'clicking', the bombshell came: he told me he was about to propose to someone else!!!
i guess i did not define our relationship.i cried real good.
i have moved on o.
blessed is the man that has me for keeps!!

Lola said...

@bobby - yea, it's talking to him that brought this post about. according to him "he's not married yet". it doesn't help that we live like eons apart. even if we want to try we wouldn't know where to start. i'm just confused...and sad about it all.

@anony - i suggest u just tell him how you feel cuz there's nothing worse than wondering "if". he was home for me for a long time, is that that "pang" feeling?

@tolulope - thanks. i think that's exactly what this is like, i was too young and didn't want to be smothered by it all, but i was wrong.

BOBBY said...

Anony, thanks for your comments, however...i dont think it hurts to share...Like how do we know that this guy does not actually have mad feelings for Lola and doesnt want to say anything because he thinks Lola sees him as a BROTHER or something...

It always happens like that.

I just hate the whole

I coulda
I shoulda
I woulda

i usually say

Why cant
Why Souldnt
Why Wouldnt

But i also see what you are saying...cause opening up like that can destroy a friendship.

This is too hard...

What would i do in this situation...??

I WILL DRINK a whole bottle of vodka and then call...

Bobby

Then if it turns out to nothing, i will use the excuse that "I WAS DRUNK, i CANT BELIEVE I SAID ALL THAT SHIT...EEEWWWW! I dont like you...like eewww, you are just my buddy!"

Ladi said...

Lola! It was nice having you over for your holiday, and we sure do hope to see more of you...

About your special love interest...
I am sure if it was meant to be, it would have been... You don't have to beat yourself on the head over it... God give you your own husband, no one else’s...

About meeting ones great love; I think I meet a different one everyday of the week... Ain't that special!

Lola said...

@bobby - hahaha, that drunken "did i do that thing" is my sig for sure cuz a girl can do some crazy ish so i always need back up! i've actually called a guy that u know i'd been waiting on the phone to ring, I called him with semi slurred speech and said all kinds of ish, all the while going "i'm so drunk, omg, i'm so drunk" and guess what? I was as sober as a buddhist monk!!! lol, hey as long as i get it all out! btw, he definitely doesn't think i see him as a bro, he's just concerned about the same things I am.

@ladi - hey boo!!! thanks for the prayers jare, that's serious. I loved visiting too and i miss you too mush! call me oh!
