Budo (Mr Phonetics)

people!!!!!!!!!

i just started french classes and its totally cool not forgetting incredibly sexy!!
'He' speaks French so guess where ill be getting the most practice?(lol)
Anyway's just thought to tell you im fine, really.
My 3 little cousins have come to spend their holidays with me and its been interesting to say the least.
The oldest,oge,is 9 and she's gonna be a beauty queen someday cos she's so beautiful.
Then you have chisom.She's 7 and is my madam cos she drags everthing with me.She wants my bed,my make up,and my hair....(yes.my hair.she insist on trying to weave it at every opportunity!)
BUDO? Well he's 6 and is the main subject of this post.
He came all the way from Lagos to correct my English.
Budo is an old man at heart and he is convinced i have a speech defect when it comes to pronunciation. He believes my oyibo is bad...........very bad.

aunt de'tente, its plismen not policeman'
'its baskit not basket"
So im always like thanks Budo.
I had a good laugh when i asked him to read me a passage from his texbook.Hear him:

Des is an ooorange
This is an orange

Des is a red cep
This is a red cap

Des is a bleck cet
This is a black cat

Des is a smell beg
This is a small bag

Im having tummy trouble from laughing........so i tell him to read it again!!!!!


A letter to 'I'.

I met him 4 years ago, in my neighbourhood. We were both members of the British council library as it turned out.
We became friends, good neighbours till i moved to another city and we kind of lost touch.
3 years later, unplanned, by sheer providence, we became neighbours again, in another neighbourhood, and as though predestined, we became colleagues in business.
Friends, the past few days have just drifted past with no substance for me. I cannot think, nor sleep well. I am numb with pain.
Just 3 weeks ago, he called me up, "de-tente", im hungry,lets go grab something to eat". I told him that was one more reason to bring his family over! Anyways i invited him over and we had lunch.
2 weeks ago, we talked extensively about a scholarship i was interested in,relationships,business and even death......
This is to you 'I',
I still cannot believe you are gone
My eyes water as i write this, yet i cannot cry
You were my friend more than ever in recent times
But you never said goodbye
What can take this pain away?
'I' I needed to do this
This has brought forth the tears
They say its good to cry........
Rest in peace dear 'I'

CHINENYE OCHUBA




hi people. you must forgive me for being so NOT here for a while. i assure you it will not happen again.
So whats up with everyone.i hope you all have something good to show for the 7 months(already gone) of this year. Just be thankful regardless ok?!!

I came across my all time favourite most beautiful girl in Nigeria (mbgn)last friday. i thought she had disappeared into oblivion like some other beauty queens but boy, was i so wrong.
I had often wondered where she is , what she's up to and you know generally 'what became of her'.

Well i saw her at the cinema on friday in the company of a friend, and by God, thats one beauty queen that's still a beauty.
I learnt that she resides in london but is currently in naija and works temporarily with an audit firm in lagos.(she's an accountant)
For those of you who dont remember her, she's the teenage beauty that took over from agbani(she was crowned by ann suinner though) in 2002.
She made top ten at the miss world contest and was voted African queen of beauty at miss universe.
