One weekend in Boston...



My much anticipated weekend in Boston finally arrived and ended too quickly. 


The wedding was fun especially since for once I didn't have the stress of running around like a chicken with her head cut off. I just sat down, crossed my legs and looked very pretty in my outfit. I reconnected with so many old friends that I grew up with. It was fun! 
Outfit: aso ebi designed by my cuz. :) they are shorts!
Bag: Asos
Bangles + Earrings: Chic Therapy. Random silver bangles
Body by the Travelin' Trainers

Church on Sunday was great. I went with my two sisters and their husbands to Jubilee. The message was on point. I need to make sure I get the tape so I can really pay attention. It was great to go to church as a family. Quick parallel, the church was so excited that the oldest son was coming to town to preach. The church was packed. My sisters were just as excited about my return, quiet as its kept. Well, parents are always excited, that's a given. 

Brunch with my sisters was so awesome too.  We went to Darryl's Corner Bar and Kitchen in Roxbury/South End (depending on who you ask) formerly known as Bob the Chef. Delicious! We just sat and talked and talked and talked. I love my family soo much. And then just like a dream it was over and  I'm writing this 30000 miles above sea level headed to Dallas. 

 Sun was in my eyes.
 I somehow lost my  shades at the party. Only me.
So excuse the crazy pose. LOL.

That weekend right there should be a regular occurrence in my life. Well, not the rich food part, I'll be a roly poly. If I had that fellowship with friends and family regularly, work wouldn't be so dreary. God knew what He was doing when he placed man in family. You need to draw from that well of love on a regular basis in order to be able to live well, work well, love well. I have to make it happen somehow: put myself in a community of friends and family. God make it happen for me please.

working and the medical student.

Somehow I've become a writer who can't seem to bring herself to write. Okay, so to answer a question posed by bijouxoxo ten thousand years ago. Is possible to work and attend medical school? My biased answer is hell no. Do it at your peril. Medical school is all consuming. It's a jealous beast that wants the student's mind, heart, time, life. That's my word. There's just so much to learn and so little time in the day. Medical schools are trying to improve quality of life by shortening class hours but nevertheless we still spend at least 6 hours per day in class. Enough analysis, let me break it down but keep in mind that every school is different. First Year, first semester: My courses were Anatomy (time consumer), Biochemistry, Genetics, Nutrition, Physicians Patients & Society (PPS, discussing how to be a doc, ethics, customs, etc, luckily only once a week but two hours long, in the afternoon), Longitudinal Preceptor Program(LPP; follow a doctor for 2 yea...

Ojo Monday

As I opened  blogger to write a post, the song ojo Monday jumped to my head. I mourned my unbacked up and crashed ibook immediately. I have so much music that I've lost. I haven't heard that song since 200something. I didn't even remember who did it which is a damn shame cos am a Fela stan. Anyway, rushed to Youtube to find it. They didn't have it, but there is a band called Ogun Afrobeat that did a pretty decent cover considering they don't even speak the language. Turned out it's called by its English name: Monday morning in Lagos: Anyway, all that to say it's Ojo Wednesday and I hope I survive. I worked out yesterday with my trainer. My arms are looking nice per him and me. Am still a bit weak though as in, I don't have much stamina for certain exercises. Anyway, time is already fast spent. I have to go for my jog and yet again I didn't edit my playlist. Why do i procrastinate so! PS. Turns out that I do have that song, must have bac...

We found love in a hopeless place...

Yay, it's Friday at last and I have Saturday off! This is my first Saturday off since the end of 2011. I worked three Saturdays in January, and most of my Saturdays were in a row. So I am super excited about tomorrow. I hope to finish hanging my curtains in my living room. I started but I realized many things, most important of which was my ladder is just tooo damn short. I was on my tiptoes the whole time. So am going to break down and buy a ladder. Had a very odd dream. There were some other young Nigerian pediatricians like myself in town. Like myself they ended up here because they couldn't find jobs in their home city. Very odd. What are u saying subc? Had my training session yesterday. He took my measurements. I still have a long way to go. My body fat is still pretty high. Yeah, I need to get my act together post haste cos I am paying way too much for me not to have any significant results. My target weight for the end of the month is under 180. I need to stop ...
