April's Joy

Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii guyssssssssssssssssssssss! (not that excited in real life...believe me)


Relieved...absolutely. Exams are over, to those still at it..ermmm sucks to be u! :p
 All the best...slave at it and you'll enjoy the outcome.

The last Month has been one hectic roller coaster...started off high, fun, fun, then went downhill with exam fever...coursework deadlines to meet! tears sweat and more sweat...Anti-Climax!

 For some of us, exams aren't exactly our cuppa...stress spots, moodswings, paranoia, insomnia...name the symptoms your girl had it all! I am relieved indeed...Ecstatic is what I'm waiting to be when the results are out...By God's grace.

Well...this post is to tell you about things that have happened over the last month and also to keep you abreast of things happening. (Please pretend to be interested)*pouts*

You know you wanna know! cammmaaan !

 *drum roll*

Highlight of my Spring break, going away on holiday for 10 beautiful days with the love of my life, my hero, my inspiration, my best friend who happens to be my father.

 It was a different kind of trip really...started off from Heathrow to New york to Cincinnati to North Carolina to Atlanta back to Cincinnati then JFK and back home to London town.

Phewwwwwwwww...

It was one of the best experiences for me, I had my pen and my diary making notes of all the beautiful moments I spent away, visiting loved ones and my dad's friends who have indeed become family <3


 My dad had a book reading in Atlanta...I was his secretary ensuring the books were sold with the help of my friends. Went well :)

Everywhere I went, I wrote. I wrote without a pen, my mind wrote, endlessly...certain things I experienced were just too ineffable for the moment. But, I knew I had to find words to share. To share, how life teaches everything we know vis a vis or subliminally.

I made sure I'd share my experience when I got back (after my exams ofcourse).


















 How one can live and learn things you've lived, so you can re-live how it should be lived.
 Sounds absurd ey...over and over again, we can't stop learning, picking up seeds as we go through. As we fill our barns, we realise how far we have come. Cliche. Intrinsically true.

Sometimes we avoid the reality of the nightmares we've had, embrace the myth of the dreams we dreamed.
 Life has many doors, we own one key.
We are invited in through her own door.

We want things we have lost. We lose things we eventually need. Things, people...all the same. Things.

 Road trip while I was away! Featuring: my daddy (co-driver) his friend Uncle H (driver) Me (passenger)


As the roads left behind dissapear and we reach a new state, I am reminded that life moves fast and sometimes people who mean soo much dissapear.

 Not the case here, my dad and Uncle H have been friends for decades. I was assured that life is precious when you have a friend.

The trio, (dad, Uncle H) and Uncle C who we were going to visit in Atlanta have been friends for soo many years...friends who knew each other before they were made.

Yes, these friends are MADE, by God's grace. Now that they are on the shelves, they remind each other of the struggles as well as the good times they shared through life's journey, thus far. The very very frequent chuckle, made me smile. These men crack themselves up till they are overthrown with laughter. They have ridiculous nicknames for each other. I can't explain why this got to me very much. Maybe I'm just a helpless emosh creep...or maybe YOU understand my...ermmm my joy! Re-assuring that friendship is not lost, it is renewed.

They never ever knew Wale will have four daughters, they never imagined his last born would be here. No one thought of me, Olutoyin. The only Olutoyin they knew was my dad.

 They never thought of a child like me...all they knew was that they'll hopefully build families. A Family they'll be proud of.

 Ergonomics differ...Demographics even more, largely.

They all lived soo far apart, nourishing this bond with countless 'hilarious' (yawnnss) e-mails, calls and laughs.

BY THE WAY!!!!

Argghhh... Men! they don't show emotions.

At the airport, My dad saw his friend, hadn't in a couple of years...He probably wanted to jump into his arms and give uncle a big cuddle. But, it was a brief 'manly'(if u like) hug with a number of pats on their backs... It was brief but ofcourse ditsy Tito read meanings to it, yet again.

That hug spoke...said a million words. I translated it...outburst of joy really. Manly joy is boring *yawns*

 Girls on the other hand will scream and jump and shout and cry and whisper...100000000 emotions in one.

Gotta love us girlies!

 I was glad because my dad had finally realised he needed a break...to chill, no work, no Nigeria or Nigerians...no chaos. I was happy.

Even happier because he was happy. I had just turned 21 and it was a few days to his 56th birthday. mine March, his April.

*sigh*... Well... I got back and battled it with my deadlines and Exams...I GOTTA get this degree!

 Work placement still on..started my summer placement and It is going very well at the moment.

Ermmmm what else have you missed out on?....ermmmm Maybe...just MAYBE, I've been smitten...slightly lol. He won't need a formal introduction ...all of you who know how I get, yea Public Display of Affection and all that.
 He's cool.
Don't worry about me too much...i'm not wearing it on my sleeves. (YET!) lool
 xoxo
 I'm going to get ready for bed now lovers.

At some point in my life, I want to go away with my daughter and my friend...reminding ourselves that we'll be friends forever. No vows, no promises...Just love, real love.

 ONE LAST THING: Make sure you hold on to friends who make you, who YOU are...love you for who YOU are and look forward to loving YOU even more, regardless of distance, space or time. Classical theism. Timeless.

  Love me, 
Teetleskittles.
