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?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
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<\/i> 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!<\/i> 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!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
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?<\/span><\/a><\/b><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
P.S.<\/b> Verastically Speakin’ Talk Radio<\/span><\/a><\/b> 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<\/span><\/a><\/b> will be co-hosting.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
P.P.S.<\/b> 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<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
P.P.P.S.<\/b> My birthday is coming up.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
P.P.P.P.S.<\/b> My birthday is coming up —- on the 14th of January.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
P.P.P.P.P.S.<\/b> I should add ‘new car’<\/i><\/b> to my birthday list.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
P.P.P.P.P.P.S.<\/b> No, I should start by adding it to my Christmas list first.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S.<\/b> I will name the new car, ‘Serakus.’<\/i><\/b> [pronounced se-rah-koos] I learnt it from an Igbo song. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S.<\/b> Per the title of this post, there’s actually nothing wrong with being spoiled. As long as I’m the one being spoiled. J<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.P.S. <\/b>Talk to you on Saturday morning here<\/span><\/a> J<\/span><\/b><\/div>\n

<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
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.<\/span><\/span><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
