I know you did not think I was done talking about my birthday. Heck no!!! Today is the 11th. I have three more days before I officially turn plus one. Yay!! So let the gifts begin to arrive!! I’m only reminding you because I care about you oh. I don’t want you to have to do rush delivery. But in the event that your gift cannot get to me before the 14th, please do not despair. I receive late gifts @ no extra nagging to you. Yes, I know I’m sweet. You don’t have 2 say it.
The 14th of January is the most important day of the year. The earth will stand still. The moon and the sun will come out together and struggle for sky space, but none will win. The stars instead will shine from dusk till dawn, and they will hang down from the sky like chandeliers. As if I were standing under a mistletoe, I will receive a kiss every time I stand under a star. I guess I should expect a gazillion kisses that day. Baba God will grant me all my heart desires. It will be the beginning of a new life for me – my XXth year on earth. If you’re wondering who I will be kissing under the stars, my answer is God will provide!
I do not have much to say today. I would only like to repost (for the benefit of those who have not read it and those who have forgotten or claim to have forgotten) my birthday wish list. And my address, of course. If you are torn between two gifts or more and cannot decide which one to get me, please get them all. That’s the only logical thing to do. I’m only suggesting this for your own good – of course.
1. Husband (If you know where he is, please send him to my P. O. BOX asap so we can go and get married. I have already found my wedding gown and the hall we’ll be getting married in. I’ve even picked the aso-ebi lace, and Funmi and Busola have prepared their speech. Oh, I’ve even found my ring; he just needs to pay for it).
2. Nikon D90 (The first DSLR camera that has movie functionality!! Been stalking it on Best Buy ever since. If I get this camera….I’m gonna be….I don’t even know what I’m gonna be. Dear God, please touch ye the hearts of my readers!!)
3. The new BlackBerry Bold. (Ever since I spotted this phone, I have not been able to stop picturing myself using it. Honestly, I’ll look so good using it. It fits my bold personality.)
4. Wii Game (Ever since I played this game @ a friend’s house, I have not been able to stop thinking about it).
5. This bag from Macy’s. (I love this bag from Macy’s; dunno why, but I do. Think it would look better in black).
6. Perfume: Pour Femme by Bvlgari (Haven’t been able to get my mind off it).
7. Perfume: Romance by Ralph Lauren (Been loving it since my Naija days)
8. Perfume: Miracle Forever by Lancome
9. Perfume: Lovely by Sarah Jessica Parker
10.Perfume: Nina by Nina Ricci
11. Perfume: Vera Wang by Vera Wang
12. Perfume: Guess by Marciano
13. Perfume: Rock n Rose by Valentino
14. Perfume: Diamonds by Emperio Armani
15. Perfume: Gucci by Gucci
16. Perfume: Princess by Vera Wang
17. A gift card from DSW. (I’m craving shoes.)
18. Alright fine, whatever you wanna send… (in addition to any of the ones listed above…hehehe.)
I know what you’re thinking: goodness, Vera, you’re so cheap. Is that all you want??? Whatever happened to aiming high for bigger, better, bolder things….like a newly built, fully furnished house in an upscale neighborhood? Well, what can I say? I’m so modest.
Oh, before I forget, here’s the mailing address which I’m sure you’re all just itching you have:
Vera Ezimora
P. O. BOX 7893
ESSEX, MD 21221
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

Bumight: I woulda been mad @ you, but since you’re getting me something (which you think does not exist…woe is you), I will forgive you. Please refer back to my blog and see gift number 19.
Write Freak: Hehehehe. Alright fine, I’ll take the prayer BUT make sure you do not pray for yourself when you’re praying for me. I don’t like competition.

Aloted: Oh, yeah it’s definitely the console oh. I guess I shoulda been more specific ehn? LOL. Okay, I shall edit.

Happy bday sha!
Vera, I know this might sound a bit stupid, but I have a husband for you. In fact, I have two. It’s like my whole family is over there and I have been jokingly giving your name out as a ‘someone to marry’ because I have always somehow thought of you. Are you really interested?

Hopefully, they don’t send an empty box with a note, “Dear would-have-been-receipient, with heavy hearts and deepest regret, we at NIPOST are sorry to tell you that due to circumstances beyond our control, we will not be able to deliver your item. Please accept our sympathy and enjoy the box with contained the item. We do hope this does not affect your services with us in the future. Regards, Management.” Hehehehe.

I have no problem getting you EVERYTHING on your Birthday Wish List. I just can’t find a shipping container big enough to contain all the items. I tried 20 ft container, the shop told me it is too small. I tried 40 ft container, they also told me that it is too small. I have placed special order for custom made 100 ft container. But there’s just one tiny little problem. They said it would take 365 days to make. So, I know your name is not Patience, but you’ll just ask have to be patient. Okay? Please, if you don’t mind me asking. What’s your fav colour so that I can instruct the container makers to spray it with your special colour. It will help you to keep an eye on its arrival at your local shipping port. But if I don’t hear from you before they spray it, I’ll ask them to spread it bright metallic yellow so that it can be visible from space for you to track by NASA satellite.
AnyaPosh: I didn’t get everything on my list, but I had a wonderful birthday.
Secret Diary: LOL!! Very, very funny! You know what? I will indulge you. Go ahead and paint it whatever color you wish. I’ll be waiting.
