Conversations With My Vietnamese Friend – Part 1

One thing I have always loved is learning about other people and their culture. I love talking with people who are not like me and finding things out that I probably would have never known. Yes, we can get information from text books and Wikipedia, but it cannot be compared to hearing it from the horse's mouth. Even within Nigeria, it's unfortunate how little we know about each other, except the stereotypes. I'm not saying the stereotypes are necessarily wrong, but they might be exaggerated, and Read More

Thanks To My Hair, Chinedu Wants My Number

Remember when I went to Faith's wedding? Of course, you remember, the post went up only yesterday. Thank you for the compliments on the hair. I have received so many compliments on and offline.

This past weekend, I finally got to hang out with my girls. You may disagree with me, but I believe that having good friends is essential. We had been talking about hanging out for like over a year, but we finally got around and did it. Before we hung out, our friend, Tim fell ill and that scared the pants off of us. I don't have the words to say how happy I was to be sitting across from Tim. Our date was set for 7pm. We were supposed to get dinner at TGIF and then go watch 'This Is Where Read More

20 Random Facts About Me (Tagged By Sisi Yemmie)

Darling Sisi Yemmie did the 20 random facts about me tag and she tagged me. Who am I to not deliver? I've done tags before, but it's been so long since I last did one. Sisi Yemmie, thank you for the tag, and whatever I write here, know that you asked for it. 1. I've been keeping a big secret from you, Sweet Potatoes.
