Dear Diary, You already know yesterday (the 16th) was my birthday. Even as I write, I have no clue how to express myself, I'm just...winging it. Because time.
The birthday tension started by 10pm on the 15th. I started trembling, panting, pacing, imagining.. YOU NAME IT!!! (yes! In that pastor's voice). My friends already started the countdown. 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" to her deep prayers. (She is also from the group "Getaway" and I think she's very pretty.. Shhhh). Other messages were posted beneath my photo which was posted in that group by Pinkie. Lovely wishes from all of them. I'll name a few. Elser (she likes to call me "my darling" and it makes me smile very deeply) wished me well, Fayosayemi (she and I like to talk about random things like music. We don't talk always but it's always nice when we do), Aicha (she is literally me.. In another body. Lol), Fonny, Phreeda, Vivian (whom I love to refer to as "The Lady Vivian", my very first set of posts revolved around her kinda.) There's a special kinda love I have for her. This female loves me so much I ask myself what I ever did to deserve it! Diarina, do you know I had to literally tell her my birthday was loooong over before she realized it??! She put up so many pictures of me on her display I was stunned! Even as at 3pm today, I still graced her dp.. Until I reminded her it was long over. I really do love her in a way that is special. I'd have loved to keep mentioning names but I'll just stop here. In case y'all are reading this, I APPRECIATE THE MESSAGES!!!!!
My other group "The Round Table" had beautiful, personal messages to pass across to me. I kept saying "God!" "God!!". Because no words, because touched, because stunned. Zee said she thinks I'm great with kids and that is a gift I should use well,she also wished me good health and wealth. Manie said I have an "interactive balance" and he said prayers for me. MJ called me an "Amazon" and said I have "an undiluted love and energy that is out of this world" Semm (we never talk much but she seems pleasant and she always likes my photos and vice versa), Whykay Rapchic (oh this female surprised me! I also had to sorta remind her my birthday was over before she replaced my photos with hers! I was deeply touched by that gesture), Sunmisola "Ohju" (She called me twice sef lool I appreciate her), Tweenie (another person who surprised me. You know when you don't expect any form of gesture from somebody but they actually show you they acknowledge you? Yeah, that's what happened. I saw myself on her display picture and my jaw literally dropped. I appreciate it mama), Tayo (my bbm sister who reads my blog and will most likely read this. Lol you owe me a car! Steal it if you must). Isioma (she shocked me with that call! And I was surprised to discover her voice was kinda soft. I always imagined she had a hard/strong voice, I dunno why!), Nana (my crazy amazing pal! She knows I love her ways), Kiki, Didiposh and of course the delightful men (I'm blowing kisses to youuuu). THANK YOU GUYS SOOO MUCH!!
My group members at "Paddies"...They put me up as the group's icon. Members wished me well, both privately and in the group. (I'm kissing you guys)
Babes and Blokes family... Major shout out to you guys!!!
Hei Diarina!! If I start mentioning names of individual friends ehn, you will shout!! My phone was ringing every 10mins! Sometimes less than 10mins! It got to a point I wanted to leave my phone and run away!!! My sister was exclaiming! Those who were there with me were laughing at my facial expressions (I kept saying "love wantu kee me oooooooooooo"). The love was TOO MUCH! I couldn't handle, I wasn't prepared for any of that, I wasn't!! I have had birthdays in the past and I could handle it, this year was SOMETHING ELSE! Should I talk about the whatsapp messages? Or th BBM messages with photos of me EVERYWHERE?!! Or the Facebook messages that were trooping into my inbox? Or the ones on my Facebook wall? Or the photos of me people who love me were posting? Or my dms on Instagram? Or the ones posted underneath my photo? Or the ones people posted and tagged me?? No please where am I supposed to start from??? Even as I write, belated messages are coming in..with apologies and in my mind I'm thinking,,I even love the belated messages and calls, anymore of the ones I had yesterday and I wudda fainted! I'd have been the first human to faint from excessive love. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
The amazing gifts I received, Isaac Obot bought me a BIG ASS CAKE! I screamed when I saw it. I kept shouting "omg! THIS IS A FUCKING BIG ASS CAKE!!!) Taiwo bought me another cake, Amara too.. (Lol hush hush). Aanu says she has a gift for me, I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
Taiwo bought extra edibles in addition to what I made. Lol I just remembered Andy's comment as he ate my peppered turkey and small chops. He told me to open a restaurant (I cooked myself). Unfortunately, I wasn't able to bake my chocolate cake but it's alright, I'll bake on Saturday. Hehehehe.
The friends who were able to stop by, I truly appreciated it, I was SO HAPPY to see you guys, to look into your faces, to hug my joy and love into you. Oh thank you, thank you!
For all the love I experienced, I'm saying THANK YOU SO SOO SOOO MUCH!! Each and everyone of you. I swear I appreciated it ALL. I wont forget it, I promise. I'm sure there are messages I haven't acknowledged, please forgive my omission and don't hold it against me, I probably have seen it. Heck I almost missed my friend Joy's message!! (I'd have kicked myself...literally 😒😒). Once more, I'm saying THANK YOU. My heart and my soul appreciated every one of those messages and kind words. Heaven will bless you all, amen.
