***Vera smiling from ear to ear***
Where do I start from??? Hmmmm. I’ll make this short and sweet. And by the time I’m done, you’ll feel one or more of these emotions: happy, jealous, confused, curious, doubtful, angry…. did I mention jealous already? Hehehe.
So there I was on Saturday, jejely minding my own business @ home. I wore a black and pink blouse and a pair of black jeans. I wore the pink shirt to commemorate Valentine. It was either that or something red, but I didn’t have anything I liked in red. Well, my red tops were either dirty, too casual, or too formal. So pink it was.
I decided to make some moi moi. I had been putting it off for over a week. I was home, listening to music, and dancing every now and then. I was gonna watch a Naija flick after cooking. Funmi called and said she was coming over to eat. I told her not to come to my house. I did not want to spend my Valentine with a girl. But did she listen? Nope! The babe showed up here and ate my food. I even washed her dishes when she was done.
We started watching a Naija movie, and that was when it happened. He called. He was downstairs. He surprised me with a heart-shaped box of chocolates, a funny Valentine card, and loadza starbursts. He brought me starburts! Can you believe that??? That was too sweet!!
By the way, he flew in from a different state. AND we had never met before Valentine’s day…. AND I did not give him my address.
……So that’s all I’m willing to say about Valentine’s Day. Hehehehehe. If you need more details, you know the drill: send a bottle of perfume to my P. O. BOX.
P.S. I know this sounds like fiction, but apparently, miracles happen. Ask Funmie. She was there. I’m glad she was. Or else, I would have thought I had started imagining things. Funmie was so excited, she almost locked us both out of the house in our quest to welcome our surprise guest. Funny thing is, that morning, Busola was laughing @ me and asking me if Saint Valentine had sent my Valentine yet. I said, “Not yet.” We laughed about it. I didn’t actually think I was going to have a Valentine, but voila…!!
So tell me, how are you feeling?? Happy, jealous, confused, curious, angry….. maybe a bit more jealous???? Hehehe. What can I say? I did ask God for unmerited favor. Now, if only He (God) can do me this other favor. Hmmmmmmm.
FURSTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
OH MY GOSH
Temite weeping, I didnt think that it could happen again. Doctors said that they could not do the surgery, that I will never taste this sweet victory, but I told them, that I will. Lawyers said that my case was close and engineers said they could not rewire the wiring. But I knew that as long as HE sits on the throne, I will make it.
And today, brothers and sisters, I am here to bare witness. I owe this to the power of not sleeping, doing homework and ignoring everything else for the love of stalking Vera’s blog. This is the sweetest day of my life. Thank you
WHATEVER. I actually hissed out loud after reading this. mscheeeeeeeeeeeeeeew. I am JEALOUS, but also happy for you. awwwww, too cute. Where is my share of the chocolate? I want it o and dont say any yeye thing coz I will descend on you. alright xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxo by the way.

LOL.. definitely not buying that gist. where is the full version?
I’m extremely happy for you!!!
Yay!!! Verastic hunny where did you meet this man oh?! I want my own too. A man who can bring me starbursts is not a joke! LOL…so are you sure Funmie didn't give him your address? If not that would've been some stalkerish things. Anyway…enjoy him for both of us. Lemme go & find my own pink top, maybe something yummy with testosterone will come of it 😉

that other favour’s probably going to land on top of your house with a parachute. i think.
Kafo: LOL. I can just imagine the smile on your face. Hahaha. Thanks, darling. Wished the day didn’t end.
Woomie: Of course, you claimed number 7. Na who wan try you? LOL
SpiceyTee: Thanks, darling. I’m still shocked that my Valentine cries were heard. Still feels like fiction.
Woomie: Hahahahahaha. I’m still willing to put the “tell” in kiss-and-tell, but I just wanna get a lil something-something (like a bottle of perfume) for it. Nah mean??? LOL.
Miz-Cynic: LOL @ my other favor. Well, I no fit tell you (yet) until it comes 2 pass. Meanwhile, you have to send me a bottle of perfume to hear the koko of the gist.
Afrobabe: LOL! Lemme guess, you downed a carton of JD all by yourself? Hahahaha. I will gist you all wanna know. I will tell you who HE is and where HE came from, but you need to organize something 4 me first. Hehehehe. 🙂
Afronuts: Nonsense! So you were enjoying my misery ehn? E no go betta 4 u oh. lol. Flowers on Val’s day? Sure, why not? But nothing is ever as good the person. I’ll check your blog out sha.
QMoney: I just saw your letter and commented on it. Yeah, I wrote my letter to Saint Valentine oh, begging him to make my Valentine Verastic, and he did not disappoint me.
Diamond: LOL. Yes, I had a very, very wonderful time. I love surprises too. I thought I could never be surprised, but alas, he really got me.
EnKay: LOL! Curious or not, gist no dey leave my mouth oo! LOL. Hahaha. You have to send my bottle of perfume first, and then we can talk. 😉
Anonymous: Awww. Thank you soooooo much. Yeah, Funmi put it on her FB status. The babe was soooo excited; you shoulda seen her. She felt like it was her own miracle too. I love that girl too much. Lemme stop b4 her head xplodes. Thanks again, anonymous!!
Dante: LOL. I am willing and eager to spread the gist oh, but una need to shake body small na. Fill my P.O.BOX with a perfume, and your life will never be the same. :)) Thanks, darling.
Funmie: You’re a mad girl. What has hanging out with me got 2 do with demanding a ransome 4 the gist? Anyway, as you’re demanding the ransome, please make sure you include that perfume (Pour Femme by BVLGARI) sha! After all, na my gist you go dey sell. lol @ yarning @ two in the morning. What about ‘Me Too’??? Hehehe
Vivacious n Chic: Hehehehe. No, don’t bribe Funmie. Bribe me instead. You need to hear it from the horse’s mouth (or read it from the horse’s hoofs instead). Once you send my bride, I go knack you the full gist.
Mizchif: You had never heard of HIM before because….well, don’t worry about it sef. Just know that Val’s day was the first time we met. If you need d full gist, please send your payment in the form of a perfume. Hehe
Good Naija Girl: Thanks, darling. I’m glad I wasn’t fooling you oh. It happened 4 real, 4 real. As 4 him being a friend of possibly more, well, time will tell.
Shona Vixen: Thanks, darling. You know the drill. Send me a perfume, and I’ll tell you ALL you need 2 know. 🙂
Rosie: Ah, trust me now!! I go give you updates. Who am I to not keep you updated?
Olufunke: Funmi was too hyper to record anything. I was stammering on the phone. Didn’t know what to say or ask. Didn’t know how to feel. I shed a few tears that I tried to quickly wipe off. lol. Didn’t even tell Funmi I cried.
Folake: I figured out how he got my address. Small world. But no, it wasn’t Funmie. Funmie was completely innocent in this.
J. Ifeme: Ah, Doubting Thomas! Of course, you don’t believe. You just don’t comprehend how a man will do something like this ehn? Eyaa. lol. It happened sha. The full version will be available to you once you send my perfume.
Pink Lips: Thank you, baby.
AnyaPosh: LOL! No, Funmi didn’t give him the address. He went thru another friend. Definitely not stalkerish. Just very, very, VERY sweet. And uhm, I no think say the pink top get anything 2 do with dis ooo…. but you fit try anyway. LOL. I’ll ask him if he has a friend who can bring you starbursts too.
Ms O: LOL!!! You like him already ey? You and I both. Yes, he brought me starbursts. Couldn’t believe it.
Funms: LOl! Yeah, maybe you shoulda written the letter. Apparently, it works! Once I get my perfume, I will answer all your questions and much more.
Muse: AMEN!!! It’s amazing you said that because the other favor has to do with planes….kinda. So if the favor lands on my house with a prachute, then so be it!!! Hehehehe.
Aww i’m glad your Valentine’s day wish came thru. You’re going to have to give us the full version! DETAILS!!!
Vera, it’s a lie…its a lie…if it is not a lie oya give us the full details including pictures:-)

When fantasies and dreams like yours come through, I know mine is just round the corner heading straight for me. Happy for you girl. Some of us spent it on the couch…wishing, lol.

Luscious Ron: But it's good that you were thinking of me now! Abi wetin sef? What is wrong with thinking about me on Val's Day? Maybe it's your thought sef that made this happen. *wink*
Nefertiti: LOL @ Funmie tryna yahoozee you. D babe don kolomental. You can bring whatever weapon you want; no weapon fashioned against me shall prosper, so I no dey fear. I no dey shake ooo.

Facebook Membs-fed govt college Lagos Ijanikin: This your name sha!!! Na to copy & paste I go dey do. Thanks 4 the comment, my dear. But you know you don't have to have loadza money to sweep a girl off her feet (in my opinion). Anyways, thanx 4 reading. Hope you come back. I''ll give you the rest of the gist some day.
Zara: Yes, I didn't want chocolates unless he wanted chocolates (in which case I was willing to oblige him). Needless to say, the chocolates were awesome! I might start liking chocolates after all. He got my address from a mutual friend.
Wordsmith: LOL. Eyaa. Thank you for the jealousy. It is well appreciated. I hope to serenade you with more info to get you even more jealous. Hehehe.

It’s not only perfume I will give you, what of acid?
The other ones you’ve been collecting nko? is ur B.O. that bad? eh?
Out with it already girl!
xoxoxoxo.
Oh my Vera, i am so excited! Seee….God answers my prayers! I am late o, how come i’m just reading this. I’m a hopeless romantic and i am loving this! Maybe i will even write a short story based on it..hmmm?
Don’t worry love, God will do the other favour!
Miracles sure do happen. I must confess though that it looks more like a dream than reality. How come some ‘he’ who you had never met before Val’s Day and who you never gave your address showed up . . . Uuuuuh, scary! I’m glad you enjoyed your day though. Seems Santa Valentine (the February version of Santa Claus) remembered you and guess what . . . I’m confused, curious and doubtful. I bet, next year’s gonna be better.
So happy for you babes.
I pray this is the beginning of a beautiful thing and soon we’ll view the wedding webbie:)
I need to pray over your addiction to perfume o. Greetings from India

Write Freak: Awwww, thanx darling for having me in your prayers. I appreciate it tres much. U can write a short story if you want; I’d love to read it.
Geebee: If Valentine next year is better than this year then goodness!!! I wouldn’t know how to even react. I’d go bananas. LOL @ being curious, confused, and doubtful E go better! Some day, I’ll give you the full details.
Aphrodite: LOL. I’ve often wondered if I will ever have a wedding website. I love wedding websites, but if I have one, people will see my face. lol. I pray 4 God’s will to be done.
Standtall: What in Heaven’s name are you doing in India???? Please don’t pray over my addiction to perfumes; instead, pray that I receive more and more of them.
Sirius: Yes, things like this still happen. I thought they only happened in novels and movies, but alas, they happen in real life too. Right here in Maryland, USA. lol.
Write Freak: Na over-love dey worry her.

Vera I am gob smacked. I can’t quite believe how I’ve been missing out on the “just in” info on your love life. I intend to keep my ears closer to the ground now. Congratulationa swerri.
Life of A Stranger: Nne, you don miss oooo! But not to worry, it’s never too late to catch up. Thanx boo. Ke kwa’n?
