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.
Shirtdress: Banana Republic Outlet

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.

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...

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...

I get so emotional baby every time I think of you...

I was first introduced to her amazing voice by my mother who brought her tape home one day. I played that album out, in fact, hers was the last voice I heard before I went to sleep every night.  Whitney, I loved her and eventually I came to know almost every song she had song to date (circa 1992-93, still don't know how because this was before Google, YouTube, ITunes, shoot the internet wasn't even widely accessible yet).   I remember being so excited for her when she was on Video Soul with Donnie Simpson talking about her soon to be born daughter and the name that she and her husband had finally agreed on: Bobbi Kristina.  I remember watching her perform on one award show or the other and shutting it down! I was in awe of her talent. She could SING! You couldn't talk bad about Whitney to me back then. A friend of mine dared to say Sade was prettier than Whitney, I'm still a bit mad at her for that. And when the Bodyguard soundtrack was released, I...
