Diary of A Mainland Girl

Dear Diary, my day had funny turns. First I arrived at the studio and none of my trainees were around. My energy level was next to nothing.

Jane, Aanuoluwapo and a few others. It started to dawn on me that I'd be 25 in a few and lord was I shaking!! Yeni (he is a group member from one of my bbm groups called "The Getaway"..I have mentioned this group a few times) called me first, at 11;58. I was laughing and telling him he called too early, that he should hold on. He started counting the time while still on the phone with me. At exactly 12, he wished me a happy birthday. My cousins Chizzy and Nneoma called me next. (Respectively). Then the bbm messages started. Pinkie blessed me and had beautiful things to pass across to me. I knelt down and said "amen...
