Dear Diary, we all woke up early today, 6;45am is very early in my books. I said my prayers, picked up my phones (one before the other), read the messages and responded to the ones I deemed worthy of my response (I don't allow negative energy anywhere near me, my soul doesn't like it so I protect her from negative vibes). I had people to see today and limited time to see them so I started running around, first, I steamed my face (sebum was killing me with oils), then I bathed. My baby sister (Ogechi Assumpta Valerie), wanted to go out and she wanted to borrow one of my outfits (I dunno why she does this, she has new clothes o!). Anyways, I gave her permission and she wore it, it's a short dress that I never wear with any pants underneath, by "pants" I mean "trousers, leggings.." She wears pants under her short outfits, but today, she didn't wanna wear any and I was a bit upset (worried). "Are you gonna wear that like that?" I had asked, "yes", she casually responded. When she was leaving, I stood in her way and put my hand on her head to bless her, I didn't say the words out but, when I took away my hand, she sealed my blessings with "amen". I was satisfied and moved aside so she could pass through.
Dressed and ready to go, I grabbed my "money purse", made sure I had some cash in it and my Debit Card, put it in the bag I chose for the morning, then I balled out. I had some shopping to do (clothes). I walked briskly to Kola bustop cos I needed to withdraw, only to get there and find a long line of people queuing. "Ooom!" I muttered and turned back, I saw a girl I had met the previous day at the salon and we hugged, she is a nice girl with innocent eyes, I hope God keeps the vultures away from her. I asked where she was going and she said "Ibadan, back to school", I wished her safety and paused for some seconds before I asked, "can I give you my number and take yours?". She happily gave me and I hugged her one final time and bid her goodbye. Yes diary, I am a hugger, I like to pass good energy so somehow I feel like hugs do it. Now that I tell you about this girl, it occurs to me that I should call, to find out how her trip was at the very least, I feel like people should check up on others from time to time, love heals the world.
I walked quickly because I was already running late, the sun was out and I started to perspire, I didn't care o, I didn't even bother dabbing (erm, no diary, not the dance thanks very much). I entered a "keke maruwa" and played music from my phone. Got to the first stop I had mentally planned, it was a First Bank branch. I bit my upper lip at the sight of yet another looooong queue! 9ja I hail thee!! Everybody wee be shouting "economy, economy" up and dan yet queues wee be long like what I dunno. Mtcheew! I jejely joined the queue o, cut my losses i always tell myself, if I had been patient and waited at the previous bank, sheybi I woudda gotten money by now? How much is the money sef that somebody wantu withdraw. I resumed with music because I was getting impatient, as I played the songs and stood there, I watched people, those coming, others leaving, I watched as some withdrew chunks of money and I wondered if this "economy" is really as bad as everyone says nowadays, iyam nor understanding again o. Diary, the word "economy" has now become something close to our National Anthem, heck I'm willing to wager that people don't even know the first line of the first stanza anymore. Onye owula wu zi "economy, economy", even people that cannot spell it or understand the meaning of the word. Ewo! Nigeria my country, the lord is your shepherd o. As I stood there staring, I looked up and saw something that made me want to fall down and laugh, diary, I laugh a lot, I fall down most times when I'm laughing, sometimes it gets soooo funny I have to hold my chest to keep from bursting from all that laughing. The signpost above read "ATM Gallery..... Beyond cash" Wait, whaaaat??!! They had to fucking put a slogan to their ATM Gallery?? Okay, okay, "beyond cash" okwaya? Abi?? Plix, is it going to gimme blood or wash away my sins? You know, since it's "beyond cash". Anyhow sha o, I controlled myself (how I did it, I dunno up till now) Two of the machines weren't even dispensing sef, after all their senrenre @beyond cash, shior. I sha withdrew the small "change" (lool don't get me started on this word). Journey to Oke Aro commenced, first I planned to buy the clothes then enter Aanuoluwapo Odusola's house, she was expecting me. She gave me some very cute clothes for my sister Ogechi (lucky idiot), I told Aanu to her face that I was gonna try them all on and I was gonna keep them for me if they fit..well some of it. She simply chuckled and ignored my comment, wetin concine me, I dun talk my own finish. She helped me with some internet ish as I was finding it hard to do some things from my device.
Aanu saw me off to the bus stop and I got into a bus, we hugged and I kissed her right cheek and waved goodbye, "lemme know when you're home" she said, "sure thang" I responded. I was seriously pressed for time! Earlier on, (the day before), I had made plans with "The Lady Vivian" (I like to call her this) and time was running out on me. I almost didn't get to see her but I suggested something better and she was chill so I worked towards that. An all nighter! I quickly tossed my toothbrush, pant, clothes for the next day and a few stuff into a bag and got ready, in my rush I forgot my deodorant sef! (I like smelling good, especially when I'm around other humans) I wanna be comfortable mbok! I met her up at the location then we "ubered" to the party location. Diary, I had INSANE FUN! The moment we arrived, I saw somebody from the group "Getaway", Yeni is his name. Let me tell you how it happened. Uber reached our destination and Vivian called her friend to come meet us out, I was typing away on my phone when I heard a voice talking to the Uber driver, "hi, my name is Yeni..." Wait, what??! My head shot up instantly, I had to see who this "Yeni" was because I know a Yeni from one of the groups I belong to, whom I hadn't met yet, it was him! I screamed!! Yeniii!! He looked at the back and said "no kidding! Jasmine!!!" I couldn't wait to get out of that car I tell you, the excitement and a mixture of disbelief was too much to hold in. He lifted me (every tall guy does this to me the first time they meet me, I have no clue why but I love it!) Vivian spoke behind us and I remembered her (Lol) I started to tell her how I know him then she introduced me to her other friend, nice looking man. We shook hands and exchanged pleasantries. Yeni held my hand and we went in, "wait, Selfie!" I told The Lady Vivian, just when we started taking selfies,i heard; "Glam!" Hei God oo, only group members call me that, so before I looked up, I expected to see a group member, it was La Nne and a friend of hers (I choose not to tell you her name Diary), but I was happy and hugged them both, her friend has a persona I like, always liked from day one, she doesn't pretend and I don't like pretenders. I pulled Nne in for the Selfie and we took a few. PARTY MODE ACTIVATED!! I was introduced to some people and I loved every one of them, soon, I mingled and introduced myself to some other people. I danced myself to stupor (if there's anything like that), I twerked and twerked to my heart's content. We stopped the music for a while and played games. I won something (i wee nor teh you what it was). The only thing missing was hookah. Yes diary, I do hookah sometimes, comman slap me.
We left by 1am and soon we were back to base, (The Lady Vivian and I that is). Makeup off, we got ready to sleep, we were tired AF so sleep was bae. I set my alarm for 6:30am (because of Eko Fm) and I lay down to sleep, I slept very soundly.
PS; Diary, I got home that noon and tried the clothes meant for Oge, but I got stuck in one of the trousers, I pulled and pulled till I tripped and fell, then I started laughing at myself. I stood up and started shouting, "Jerry!! Jerry ooo!!" My brother had to leave what he was doing to help pull that trouser away from my body. I was wearing only my bra and pant, but that is my brother I don't find it strange.
