Nwoke Ocha = White Man.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
My Nwoke Ocha is sick and in the hospital, and since his admission in the hospital, life has just not been the same. I never knew how much I relied on him to get things done until he fell ill. I haven’t seen him all of today. I didn’t see him all of yesterday either. He got admitted on Wednesday, and since then, I have not been myself. The situation is grim, but I have been praying and trusting God to heal him, so that he comes back the same way he left – without the illness, of course. Oh, my Nwoke Ocha, hurry home!! I miss you something wicked.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I know this post is supposed to be about my Nwoke Ocha, but permit me to vent for a minute here: whose bright idea was it for women to menstruate AND be bloated while at it??? Okay, fine, I think I know whose idea it was. But seriously… this is soooo not funny! Ms. Flow came yesterday, and today, I am in a very pissed off mood. I’d like to think I am pissed off because my Nwoke Ocha isn’t feeling well, but I know that is not the real reason.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Here are a few comforting words to describe how I am currently feeling: Angry. Pissed off. Bloated. Uncomfortable. Irritated. Moody. Emotional. Restless. Really, really pissed off. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The only thing that is worse than being pissed off is being pissed off and not even knowing why you’re pissed off. I was just on the phone with Busola and everything was fine until that discomfort under my abdomen started again. All of a sudden, I was about to bite the poor girl’s head off. There is no reason why I should be feeling like my waist is vibrating! And this is not the kind of vibration that comes with a happy ending. Speaking of that<\/i> vibration, I ought to discover it sometime in my lifetime, no?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
*****END OF VENTING*****<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So Nwoke Ocha is ill. Did I tell you that already? Perhaps, it’ll help if I stop mentioning the name and just say who the heck he is. He is my white Sony laptop – hence the name (which was given by Mr. Shoes, by the way…). My laptop went off and won’t come on. They think it might be the motherboard. Darn Best Buy<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/b> people don’t give loaner laptops (even though I even paid $300 insurance on the laptop, and it’s not even a year yet..). Seriously, Best Buy sucks!! And I think that is just one more thing that is pissing me off right now. I’m using mom’s laptop, and it sucks that I have to keep going incognito<\/i> whenever I’m checking my blog (or visiting any site that has “Verastic” in it.) Wouldn’t want mom finding this site or its many, many relatives. Of course, it’s almost a fool’s dream that mom would never find this site because I blog with my real name.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In less than ten hours, Verastically Speakin<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/b> will go LIVE. Do tune in. We’ll be talking about women who are in their 30s, accomplished, and single<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/b> Speaking of that, I think I need to call up my co-hosts and make sure we’re all on the same page. —> And that’s another reason why I’m pissed! Why the heck have I not called till now (the 11th hour)? Anyway, the show will be LIVE in less than ten hours. Don’t miss it. Fear not. I’ll be mighty nice while on air.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Lastly, AfriPRO Houston<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/b>, in collaboration with African Business Council<\/b> of Texas brings you the Houston Africa Business Expo 2009 –> today, August 22nd 2009. Watch the video and click HERE<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/b> for more details.<\/div>\n
