Once again, I have officially gotten older.  The signs are blinding.  My face is smoother.  My skin is nicer.    My lips are softer.  My breasts are perkier.  Aaah.  The look of old age.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
There’s a certain kind of mmph that 2010 has come with.  My words must sound like a cliche, so I won’t dwell too much on it – the mmph.  We’ll revisit this mmph<\/i><\/b> on or by January 14th, 2011, God-willing.  There is also a certain kind of gratefulness and gratitude I am compelled to express to God, but I cannot quite fathom the words to do so.  I don’t remember feeling this grateful and hopeful on my birthday last year.  Maybe it’s all the Snickers bars I’ve been eating.  But I really doubt it.  It’s God. <\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I started receiving text messages, Facebook e-mails, and Facebook wall notes since four days ago.  At first, I speculated that maybe there are parts of the world that are three to four days ahead of the part of the world I live.  I have since concluded that this isn’t true, and that people are in fact sending me messages in advance because, well, I am a very nice person.  What more could it be?  Some may argue that it has something to do with me harassing people with my birthday wish list<\/span><\/a><\/b>, but seriously, what do they know?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
To prove my point, Tigeress<\/span><\/a><\/b> just sent me a text to wish me a happy birthday, and in it, she addressed me as “Sweetie.<\/i><\/b>”  Now, if this isn’t a proof of my niceness, and of her love for me, of course<\/i>, tell me what is?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
On that note, I’ll be leaving you with a stern reminder<\/i><\/b> of my birthday wish list<\/span><\/a><\/b>.  Lots of gifts are still available for your buying and gifting pleasure.  In an earlier post<\/span><\/a><\/b>, I promised to trade in Funmie<\/span><\/a><\/b> and\/or Busola for my number one (1) and.or two (2) gift.  Well, you’re in luck!  Act now (as in, buy me a gift right now<\/i><\/b>), and you’ll also get Busola’s husband and son FOR FREE!!!<\/b>  But that’s not all!  As a bonus, I’ll also throw in my friend, Deola.  What can I say?  I’m generous.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
So off I go.<\/div>\n
