Apparently, I tell everyone who cares to listen that my friend, Uju, is a doctor. And I cannot help it. I am so, so proud of her. She is a fighter. Anyway, Uju’s birthday was this past Thursday, and we asked her several times what she wanted to do and she said nothing. So I decided to take matters into my own hands and tell the girls that we should all show up at Uju’s house on Saturday, unannounced. Well, {Read More}

It’s been a while since I did a weekend recount, I know. That’s because nothing has really been happening. Either that or I don’t take pictures at the event. Well, this weekend was a little better. Friday: I attended an engagement ceremony. Yorubas call this an Engagement. As an Igbo girl, it’s more like a traditional wedding. But every time I call it a wedding, people ask me, ‘what wedding?’ So okay, I’m sticking to engagement then. I didn’t take {Read More}
Yup!!! I’m a year older today. Normally, I’d do a long post of self reflection, but not today. Today, I just want to thank God for taking the extra time to create me. He has made me more beautiful than words can describe, and if He had given me the choice to decide what I wanted to look like, I would have never made myself this beautiful. I want to thank God for my life and for my health. I {Read More}

Thank you to everyone for Igwe’s birthday wishes. His face still hurts from all the blushing. His birthday was on Monday, October 29th, but we celebrated on Saturday, October 27th and Sunday, October 28th. This post is coming in a week late, I apologize. Let me try my best to break it down as much as I can. For his birthday, I planned him two surprises: a get-together on Saturday and a bowling party on Sunday. Let’s start from Friday. Friday: {Read More}
Igwe, Today is your birthday, and I feel blessed to spend it yet again with you. So much has happened since we first met, and today is not the day to go into it. I thank God for your life and for your heart. I thank God for making you the person that you are today. And although some of your past experiences have not been the most pleasant ones, I thank God still for them all because they have {Read More}
When I think of Uju, I think of these words: beautiful, fun, adventurous (a little too much), energetic, honest, blunt, extrovert, crazy, really crazy, really, really, crazy, dependable, happy, funny, mysterious, loving, intelligent, caring, passionate, loyal, real, generous, fashionista, crazy. Did I already mention crazy? I mean, unnaturally, disturbingly, inexplicably, ferociously crazy. And I love her so.
First of all, I apologize for taking this long to tell you about my birthday (it was on the 14th of January). That said, this year’s birthday was a blast! Last year was a blast. But this year was an even bigger blast. And most times, bigger is better … right? This cake was courtesy of Funmie, and it was mm mm good! More pictures and stories when you continue.
Whether you admit it or not, I know you have just been dying to see my birthday wish list. I didn’t make one this year – can’t remember why. And I know you were very hurt by that. Considering that I will soon stop being anonymous, it is of absolute importance that I get these items. They will aid me in my new UNanonymous life. Don’t ask me how. Just go through the list, pick your favorite one, and then, {Read More}
I know you were expecting a birthday post as usual, but nothing about yesterday’s birthday was usual. Like I mentioned before, what I really, really wanted was a birthday party, but since I came to that realization late. I decided to settle on having dinner with friends. This, too, was a late decision that only came on Wednesday night. I texted people on Thursday morning, and the dinner was on Friday night – my birthday – January, 14th 2011.
