SHA-DY WRITES - DREAMS COMING THROUGH


Receiving that message from Kintan broke my heart, I replied immediately with - He saved me fool.

Dear Kintan,
The camel’s back just broke.
Your’s seriously,
Sha-dy



For me this was the height of it all, I wasn’t taking anymore of Kintan’s rubbish. The source of my boldness I couldn’t fathom; I have decided to move on with my life. After all CIO is available anytime I need him so why wait for one idiot that isn’t sure about himself talk less of me. I spent Val’s day with CIO at Coral blue after work, it was fun all through. I mean how easy can life be, I have a man that adores me, I have a job that speaks for me and I have the beauty of a river goddess…. LOL, minus the river goddess look.

On Saturday CIO and I went out at noon; this days I don’t ask where to as it always ends up as a pleasant surprise. We drove all the way down to Ojodu Berger, I thought it was his friend’s wedding initially until we got to a compound with a brown gate and there was no party.

Many things began to race through my mind, like maybe it was just a naming ceremony, maybe it’s a get together by one of his friends, just maybe. When we walked into the living room of the house we were greeted by a peaceful aura, the chandelier were so pretty and they looked familiar, the seats and arrangement also looked familiar too but I couldn't say for sure where I had seen them before.

Just when CIO was going to announce our arrival a maid came out greeting him, I still couldn't make out what was going on, then an elderly woman came out and CIO lay prostrate to the floor greeting his mummy… YES he got me. He brought me to see his parents without me knowing. Ahn I’m so loving this guy.

The normal pleasantries between mother in-law to daughter in-law were exchanged, and we got joking about CIO's childhood and the funny stuffs he did. We sat for lunch when CIO’s dad walked in with his eldest grandson whose Kome’s younger sister boyfriend.

When we left CIO’s family home I was too excited, my dreams of getting engaged this year is coming through. Thank you Jesus

RIP TAIYE


The last time we saw, was in an eatery
little did I know that would be out last meeting
growing up with you was fun and adventurous
you had a fighting spirit

hearing you're gone
leaving three kids behind breaks my heart
the seven years we spent together while growing up
is a part of my history I cant erase
a childhood friend is gone

RIP Taiye Onafowokan

SHA-DY WRITES - CHIDUBEM


Kintan and I have really not had time for each other as you already know with him being so busy, I mean how my boyfriend can be so busy much that we last saw each other last on Christmas day when I went over to spend the day with his family beats me.

We work on the island and we practically have the same closing time except for Kintan wanting perfection in all he does, wanting to finish everything today except on big game days. I kind of feel really sad that I went to Chidubem’s, I think neglect pushed me.

Chidubem had invited me over to his place earlier that day and asked what I would love to eat, I told him I wasn’t so sure I would make it to his house today but the weekend would be a good time, Chidubem is a client of ours company or rather his organization is a client of ours. Thats how I knew Chidubem.

I got to Kintan’s place at Dolphin Estate only to be greeted by a locked house; I called Kintan and all he had to say was he was at the office cause of the traffic.

Me: so what am I to do now?
Kintan: babe maybe you should go home
Me: Kintan I left everything behind just to see you, do you know what the time is (silence) and all you can say is I should go home?
Kintan: babe I’m busy here and I really do need my space, see maybe we should do this over the weekend.
Me: okay, good night.

I have come to love Kintan for being him and nothing else, even in my deepest anger I still give a second thought to everything he says except when he goes too far and for me too far is far more than the end of the earth. At 10:53pm I was too sure that getting a cab and then driving down to my estate at Ikeja before 11pm was not possible, so I pull a call through to Chidubem

*********************************************************************************

‘Dubem was an Angel that night, immediately I called him to come pick me up in front of Kintan house not minding that the amebo gate man was standing beside me and talking to himself, ‘Dubem didn't hesitate, he came through and whisked me away; he asked where to and where from, I told him I was on my way to his house but mistook the address thereby dropping me in front of that house. Since the gateman couldn't locate it for me, of which I wanted to make it a surprise. ‘Dubem took me to his house which was far more beautiful than I expected…asin more than that of my Kintan sef. I quickly asked for the kitchen and 'Dubem looked at me and said “are you that hungry”, of course I'm not… want to cook quick Efo riro.

Efo riro is my best soup as it was the first soup I ever learnt how to cook. ‘Dubem gave this wow look, and I could tell from deep inside he was like this babe must truly like me but the soup was meant for Kintan who stood me up. After the cooking which ‘Dubem helped me with, we ate like kids on the floor, talked and laughed our hearts out until we finished eating. After eating I tweeted a bit about how much fun I was having, hoping that my BF will get jealous and DM me, but he didn't and I resorted to act like he wasn't there too, uploading pictures of the Efo riro soup with 'Dubem's hand and mine in the same plate taking soup. After tweeting for a while I finally gave in to Mother nature.

I had slept off when I felt someone kissing me, I opened my eyes and saw ‘Dubem smiling at me
‘Dubem: you look so beautiful when at sleep
Me: Thanks, I just want to sleep (wait, what’s was I thinking when I called ‘Dubem and told him I came to see him by 11pm)
‘Dubem: thought you shut your eyes because I was coming (… broda what kind of coming o)
Me: no was fast asleep (s*** what have I gotten myself into, I just want a peaceful sleep, tomorrow is a busy day)

Chidubem tickled me madly with his fingers; tingling sensations were all over my body. ‘Dubem did everything possible to make us have fun but what we did was talk, yes I was moved I mean MOVED to want to take this guy on, show him things he had never seen, make him feel what tight means, but I remain committed to whoever I'm with and if not for Kintan standing me up, I won’t be have been in this situation. ‘Dubem knew something was holding me back but he wasn't strong enough, my commitment level to Kintan was far above these.

‘Dubem finally left me alone knowing that I wasn't going to give him anything, not even a head to make him calm down. I really want to, his hands had steered a sensation that couldn't be held back except for thinking of my Kintan, I had to keep thinking of Kintan to be able to hold back the entire rough ride I wanted to take ‘Dubem through. By the morning I was up so early that even ‘Dubem was kind of scared.

‘Dubem dropped me at the office, he said his sorry for every inconvenience he put me through, and I am free to stop by anytime, my heart melted but I knew what he was trying to do… he wants me to come back again. As I walked into my office, I received a message on my phone saying:

“Your Maga in front of my house…don’t ever let such happen again – K”

LOVE LIKE A MOVIE





When I first heard that Darey was gonna stage a show/concert  tagged Love like a movie, I said to myself….ehn ehn Darey fe fi bredi kowa lobe je (Darey wants to play us all in the spirit of Valentine), but little did I know I was in for the treat of my life. Darey gave me the show of a life time, yes a lot of people came because of Kim Kardashian, believe me when I say, Kim was not the IT for Love like a movie. I really don’t want to say much as I want pictures to say the rest, but to Deola Art Alade, your  mind is vast and your concept was beyond what the crowd expected…Darey you have one great wife there…I need not say more as am sure you already know that.

The lighting, the performance by you and other artist, the costumes, the dancers, especially the guys who danced in the bathtub *wink*, the stage management…everything was perfect, but like every show…yes there were flops, but your strife for excellence, over shadowed this flops. That sand art lady…she blew me away, every time she drew on the sand...it was more than bliss, she drew almost every word, giving meaning to every lyrics you sang, some songs you sang were songs sang when I wasn’t yet born but with the help of your sand lady, I knew just what you meant.

How do I forget your performance with Waje? there’s no word to describe the duet you both rendered. The boy 2 men track sang by you, Banky, Timi, Praiz and Tolu was ghen ghen, I came with a friend, it was my Val’s gift to him, saying a big thank you for being a big blessing to my life throughout the years and I can say for a fact that we had the time of our lives, no moment was wasted….the end of the show was well put.
Darey Art Alade, thank you for a wonderful show, I for one never thought in my wildest dream a show like that would be staged in Nigeria, you have raise the bar and stamped your feet to the ground as Nigeria’s king of RnB. Once again, thank you for true performance and showmanship of art and entertainment. #Bless. And a special thank you to TRACE NIGERIA for the tickets to see #TheConcertofLife

FASHION FRIDAY - 8 RED DRESSES FOR VAL'S DAY


ASOS 
Backless or Lacy dresses are always on point, but making a combo of both is a die for dress especially when the lace is not over board. ASOS is so killing this


Hybrid
Such a perfection, the satin off shoulder is the koko


Renee London
Very sexy dress, would turn your man on from the first instance of seeing you, till he rips the dress off you *wink*


Club L
This is a rock chic look, the cut position are well placed and they look even sexier with ankle boots. To pull this look off, wear your fierce alter-ego. 


Nishe
This a so "dolly", the butterfly, bow at the back and tutu makes the perfect finish for this dress


ASOS
Very flirty and ridiculously short dress, the cuts are rightly positioned....I don't think this dress is meant for dinner, more like a less formal occasion thingy


Rare
Very cute dress, the heart shaped design at the back is a turn on for me, oh and the nude shoes, they make red dresses fab.


ASOS
Such a killer dress, this is the " walk before Him and be perfect dress". Length, fitting and shoulder embellishment is on point.....shoes are IT too.

SHA-DY WRITES - CALM DOWN AND KEEP YOUR MAN



I had a Fab weekend, went out with CIO and a few of his friends, we watched a movie by 10pm at Silverbird galleria and headed for the club after the movie. The rate at which CIO and I spend time these days makes me wonder where my relationship stands with Kinta since we hardly talk or spend time together.

CIO’s friend, Fred was going to propose to his girl Amaka, but some things didn't fall in place so he had to reschedule the proposal to Saturday. Still with an hangover I was buzz by CIO at 11am  the next day to get up and get ready for Fred’s big day, as we were to head to the beach where Fred intended to propose to Amaka. Just as  I was about to head for the bathroom, a message came in again from CIO, don’t bath just come the way you are. I kissed my mom good morning and said good bye, she watched me go and I was so sure she knew it wasn't Kintan I was going to meet.

I got down stairs and right there CIO was waiting for me with a bouquet and a cup of coffee, Jisos this is most romantic gesture anyone has ever done for me, he opened the car for me and planted a kiss on my forehead. This man is painfully romantic. We got there just in time to set everything for Fred and hide from Amaka seeing us. Fred proposed to Amaka and we popped out of our hiding, it was so worth all the rush.

Amaka cried and I joined her in shedding the tears of joy too, the tears were infectious. I left by 1:00pm as I had to pick up my mum’s Aso-Oke for a wedding she was to attend by 2:00pm.

***************************************************
Later that night when mumcy came back from the wedding and met me at home, she began to mockingly sing. And the following discussion ensued:

Mum: Abike, come closer and let’s talk (not a good sign)

Me: Mummy, hope nothing bad happened at the wedding sha

Mum: I said I want to talk to you and you are talking about the wedding, my friend come closer and rest your head on my laps.

(My mum is such a nice killer talker, she draws you closer then gives you the talk of your life…don’t be deceived by her looks).

Me: mummy ki lon shele?

Mum: Abike, you seem to spend more time outside, what have you been up to?

Me: ah muuuuuummmmmy, just this past week of catching fun and you are complaining hmmmm

Mum: I'm not the only one complaining, your dad too is complaining, and this fun catching isn’t with Kome I guess?

Me: yes ma

Mum: who with then?

Me: a friend from the office

Mum: office, am not saying don’t date him, but what do you say to Kintan

Me: mummy, you have been spying on me…gosh, I thought you promised to let me grow when I graduate?

Mum: a mother’s work is never complete

Me: mum, Kintan doesn't have my time, I haven’t seen him since Christmas, and he doesn't even want to see me. We only chat via BBM and we talk once in a blue moon unlike before. Am tired and I can’t keep up with this new “ moon walker” moves his pulling.

Mum: young lady, call him, he doesn't have time isn't an excuse to jump on the next bus. Relationship don’t last on this basics, the young man might be very busy. Shade Omolabake Moboluwaduro, calm down and keep our man. Otan.

And my mum raised my head from her laps and walked away. Gosh this woman can make you do things you don’t want to do. I ended up calling Kintan, who told me he was in Asaba for a business meeting and couldn't talk much as he was putting finishing touches together for the presentation tomorrow. You see what I mean -_-


Dear Kintan,
If you ever get to read this post, I really do love you and I have nothing with CIO or any other guy, but I'm really getting feed up of this your “so busy schedule” that doesn't allow us talk for more than two minutes, it’s driving me crazy and pushing me to do crazy things. I am getting to my breaking point.

Love you
Mine

TWITTER RANTS




I put up this tweet for you guys to see what went down during and after the Nigerian match on my TL, I didn't get the opportunity to watch it as I was in church, but tweeting in church (God forgive me) was the only way I could keep up with the match as my Twitter peepz kept updating me on every move during the "do or die" match. The tweets at Eboue is not not meant to promote any for of humiliation from me, since he has apologizsed, but just to see how far we went in our joyous moment forgeting everything else.....Enjoy


EBOUE ALL OVER MY TL

 GOAL!!!  0-1  (Emenike)
