I stopped by the local 7-11 yesterday to get something when the alarm on my car suddenly went off. To cut the already short story shorter, my car’s remote does not work anymore! May I be completely honest with you? Okay, I’ll be honest. I cried when I found out. I’ve gotten so used to just pressing the remote and getting in and out of the car. How in the world am I supposed to start locking the car by pressing the button inside the door and then unlocking it with a key before getting in?
Let me explain: I am not the kind of girl who should be trusted with locking her car by pressing that button. I mean… this is the girl who gets to her destination, puts the car in park and steps out before she remembers that she has to turn the car off and take the keys out of the ignition. Sometimes, I even attempt to step out of the car before putting it in park! So how can I be trusted to press that button when I’m supposed to? I’m so paranoid about locking my keys inside the car. The poor car – whose name is Fotunatus – has been so nice to me, but this time, he’s really messed up!
There is obviously only one solution to this mighty problem. Is anyone thinking what I’m thinking? Yeap. I’m glad we’re on the same page: I NEED A NEW CAR. The question is WHICH ONE?
P.S. Verastically Speakin’ Talk Radio will be airing on Saturday at 10am U.S. EST. as usual. What should one expect when he/she travels to Nigeria from abroad? Heat? Multiple marriage proposals? (I actually like the sound of this … *coughs*). Sudden relatives?? Or maybe much more. There’s a poll. Actually, there are two polls. Vote if you haven’t voted. Talk to you on Saturday morning! Rosie will be co-hosting.
P.P.S. If you’re interested in co-hosting for 2010, now is the time to let me know. I am currently putting the schedule together. Thanks, folks!! radio@verastic.com
P.P.P.S. My birthday is coming up.
P.P.P.P.S. My birthday is coming up —- on the 14th of January.
P.P.P.P.P.S. I should add ‘new car’ to my birthday list.
P.P.P.P.P.P.S. No, I should start by adding it to my Christmas list first.
P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S. I will name the new car, ‘Serakus.’ [pronounced se-rah-koos] I learnt it from an Igbo song.
P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S. Per the title of this post, there’s actually nothing wrong with being spoiled. As long as I’m the one being spoiled. J
P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S. Talk to you on Saturday morning here J
P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S. There is no such thing as too many P.S.s — which is why I have 10. Don’t forget to vote.

Wahh! I should have cohosted this, I just spent my whole summer in Naija. Hope you get a new car (or new remote)
Pele on Fortunatus, just repair the remote naa, but if you get spoilt with a new Range Rover then…LOL.
What are your topics for next year? I'll like to cohost one.
Yeah Vera, I finally succumbed and stopped lurking. Now the forgiveness has to be total oh.
Re: your car, shebi you can lock it from the outside after you get out but since you're always in a hurry that won't solve your problem abi? So that new car has to arrive asap no?

Shebi I already promised to get you a peugeot 404 customized for ur birthday. Do not be greedy, the factory is just about finishing with the AC. Pele love.
You won't believe I have the same issue with locking my car, but thank God I never locked the key in , i have no spare!
Look who is here! Do you know what is funny, I actually thought about your birthday yesterday and wondered what tall list of presents you would come up with next year!
I don miss you oooooooooo. My 1st semester is over and I am so happy so here I am. Don't worry about Fontunatus (how do you come up with these names?), just visit Naija, maybe one man will use a car as a proposal. That is a good idea abi? 😀
Hi, just called you a few minutes ago. Hope you were not busy oh. Take care…
GNG: My love, I'm sorry oh! Rosie was actually the one who gave me the show idea because of what she had experienced when she went to Nigeria, so naturally, I thought of her first.
BBB: Ah, it's not an excuse na! It's a perfectly good reason to get a car. One can't expect me to be pressing that button all the time. It'll burn way too many calories, you know. lol.
JustJoxy: Yes, indeed, you're third. Congrats.
Chayoma: You're running your mouth now. I hope you'll be able to do the do when it's time to do it, and yes, of course, I still want that Range Rover. Why shall I shy?
Leggy: Please don't remind me of the food. You'll make me just jump on the next plane. Oh, the Naija food is awesome!!!
My World: So your own is to announce to people what I want — and then cruise around in it when it comes, ehn? lol.
Rita: I'm preparing as much as I can. I'm waiting for God to embarrass me with blessings. He is able, and I am very willing [to be embarrassed with blessings]. I'm so mad I missed your call today 🙁 Phone was on silent.
TayneMent: Please, stop praying for a new remote. Pray for a new car. A new car. A new car. A NEW CAR!!!
MyneWhitman: You'll like to co-host one really? Oh, great!! I'll put them up ASAP. And ehm.. I'm looking forward to being spoiled — with a car.
KG: Yes, you're totally forgiven now, and yes indeed, that new car has to arrive very, very soon. I mean… seriously!!! Where are there Toyota/Range Rover people when you need them?!
Azazel: Hehehehe. Abeg. No oh. You're a man. You need not be spoiled. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
Funms: That's why I like you! Okay, I'll give you options: EitToyota Rav-4 or a Range Rover Sport (both 2010, please!) LOL.
Temmy Tayo: You have no spare key?!?!?! Aaaahhh. You're bold oh. I'm wayyyy too paranoid to not have a spare key. LOL @ the customized Peugeot 404. All for me???? Alright, I'm waiting then.
Luscious Ron: My able attorney. I don't mind that car proposal at allllll. In fact, I don't mind having several car proposals. As for the birthday list, don't worry… it's a-coming 🙂
Rita: Yes, dear, I heard your message. 🙁 I'm sorry I missed your call.
