U will Survive...

Hello Blogsville,

How you doing? Hope everyone is doing well, and ur week got off to great start!
Guess who I just saw on TV? Yup our own Kemberley; saw her on the Wendy Williams show. U go girl...we got ur back. Of which, if u dnt follow that show biko, u shd invest...its funny, entertaining and just a total mess, but u cnt help but love her! She's like the girlfriend who tells u the truth without hurting ur feelings or making u feel insecure...and she's also sensitive to personal issues too. I love her!

Also, Gloria Gaynor was on the show today performing the well known song "I Will Survive...", and I immediately thought of all my heart-broken darlings on blogsville, and so I'm dedicating the song to all of them...Sugabelly 2.0, Bubbles, Juiceegal and everyother blogsville resident both male/female who feels like they can't go on, because a piece of them has walked away. I want you all to know that you will survive. And we are here to hold ur hand, send u e-hugs, pray for you, cry with you, watch romantic movies, eat ice-cream, and Cheesepuffs(Bubbles...lol)...we are here for u!!!



I had other things to talk about but my memory fails me ryt now...

Oh yes! I went for the Gospel Concert on saturday after work. I initially didn't know what to expect, but I have decided to keep an open mind about things, try them out (nothing crazy like drugs sha oo...lol), and give people a chance and generally step out of my comfort zone and live life. So with that in mind, I got dressed and went. And boy did I have great time!!!
The event took place @ the Waldorf Astoria in NY, and the hall was packed full of people having a goodtime in His presence. Blacks, Caucasians, Asians, Africans, Spanish...u name it, if the Lord created them, they were there giving Him is due. The performers included Ron Kenoly, Martha Munizzi, Jaci Velasquez, Cece Winans (I missed her performance tho :( ) and a bunch of other performers whose names I can't remember sha. And the Lady who organizes it is Nigerian, so at the end she started singing Nigerian songs, and the crowd joined in, those who cldn't sing just danced...now that's worship on a different level! To my friend/blogger who invited me, thank you, thank you very much...I look forward to next year!

My next post is my 50th!!! I know others have celebrated bigger numbers, but am super excited, and happy! So I'll see u guys in my next post when Miss Enigma's Journal is 50 posts old. Final call for any questions u may have...!!! Going, going, gone!

Have a blessed and uber fabulous day!!!
Talk to you guys soon,
xoxo,
Miss Enigma!!!

Dear Customer+ Randoms+Shayo Unlimited

Hello Blogsville,

How's everybody doing? Hope ur week has been productive, positive, and stress free? The weekend is around the corner once again...I can hear everyone breathing a sigh of relief...lol.
I no blame una o jare.

So my people una do well for all the questions when una don submit o! I been think say I go need to carry gong waka round the whole of blogsville like town-crier b4 una go ask question; but the response from una don save me such waka waka. On the real tho', y'all dnt play...lol...I was reading through the questions and e be like say na JAMB I wan write. Looking forward to answering all your questions people...and if u still wanna ask, pls feel free.

On a random note, biko why do people wait till last minute to come to the bank. Dey knw the bank closes @ 6pm, but wait till 5.50pm to come and want to ask questions about their account and chitchat with the Personal Banker. For crying out loud, I wanna go home! And I have to catch my bus orelse, I'll be sitting at the bus-stop starring at people zooming by in their cars, and dats not fun especially in the winter!

Also, please dnt get mad if u come to cash a cheque and don't have proper identification. U coming into the bank every friday to cash a cheque dsn't mean I know u. The system gives options for acceptable form of ID, am not gonna make an exception and lose my job just bcos am tryna do u a favor, if u haven't heard, we are in a recession!

Am sorry, that you have to pay an over-draft fee. But I don't make the rules nor do I have the power to bend them. All it takes is for you to try and stay updated on your account...dnt spend what you don't have, please and spare us all the trouble. And when you make a deposit, the reason I give you a receipt is to show you that it went into YOUR account, not mine. So biko no dey ask me twenty times, are you sure it went into my acct? And be looking at me and smiling doubtfully, like say I use wuru wuru wayo put am for my account. I take God beg u I no be thief...as u dey hustle na so I dey hustle na e mke u meet for here dey work.

On another random note, this Octo-Mom is jst something else. During a special they did on her and her kids, she was dissing Kate Gosselin (Jon & Kate Plus 8) for showing off her bikini body. Criticizing for under-going plastic surgery after having her sextuplets. She went on to say she (Octo-Mom) lost her baby weight by exercise and eating right...yeah right! Am sorry, but me I dnt believe that. Bad bele no good sha.

On a final random note, My Mom and I went grocery shopping @ our neighborhood ShopRite, so after shopping, we began to load things into the trunk; next thing, some dude walks up to me, and hands me a Christian book titled....wait for it...wait for it..."60 Things God Said about Sex". really? Of all the books, when u carry na this one u come decide to give me abi? Thank u o...God bless u.

PS: My hair came out nicccceeeee! Luv it.

PPS: My friend is having a house warming party in the city on Sat., "no go fit invite una come my party mke una no shayo oo, shayo don dey holo, everybody dey kolo, all of una must shayo ooo!" It's goin' down! School starts on Monday, so this is kinda like my summer wrap up...lol.

Aight am outta here folks!
Have a great weekend...and keep them questions coming...2more posts to 50...make it happen people...let's go there!!!!!!

Talk to you guys soon,

I'm 50...............................................................in four posts, so ask away!!!

Hello Blogsville,

Wa'gwan my youth?! How has everybody been, and hope ur week has gotten off to a great start?

Well, mine has been ok so far. Church was great as usual...KINDNESS was the topic. And not kindness in the form of sentiments, pity, or thoughts; but in the form of ACTION. A perfect example wld be Nice Anon helping the old-man she saw on the way side (go n' read her recent post). Pastor said, its one thing to see someone in need and say eyaah, I feel bad for them. Feeling bad isn't an act of kindness, it might make us feel better or less guilty, but it is not action. He said when Jesus talked about kindness, he ddn't talk about emotion...he followed it up with action...doing something. 1 John 3:17-18...."Suppose someone has enough to live and sees a brother or sister in need, but does not help. Then God's love is not living in that person. My children, we should love people not only with words and talk, but by our actions and true caring." Nuff said!

Normally, u hear ppl say they are not looking forward to school getting back in session, but ur beloved UnderCover/Miss Enigma (cnt decide on which one I like still...lol) is saying the opposite. I'm looking forward to school resuming next Monday! Why? Cos finally, I have a major that is me (story for another day), am looking forward to learning, am excited to see what my classes/Profs have in-store for us students, and actually looking forward to studying for tests, taking down notes during class, and high-adrenaline rush I get when writing a paper. I did all this last semester and I had great reward at the end of the semester. And there's nothing like reaping the fruits of your labor, nicely garnished by the grace of God!

So in preparation for sch, I went supply shopping. In a past post,I tld u guys that I keep journals and had quite a few. Well, one thing that fuels my luv for journals, are note-books. Take a look at the ones I got today:

The solid black is my current journal, the one on the right I just got.

The big brown book is my current school folder/notebook...the lil'ones, I just got those. Cldn't decide between the brown and the red. I'm a sucker for brown, but am learning to try things out so I went ahead and got the red. I normally use the small ones to write my to-do-list and assignments, appointments and so on. Might send one to my sis cos she luvs stuff like this too! Some people luv shoes, I luv nice books and journals, and they just give me this unexplainable high :) weird I know...lol. And all four of them are designed by the same person.(crgibson.com).

I also found a Nigerian stylist while, I was buying hair in Harlem. I'm gonna go get my hair done on Wednesday; I hope it comes out nice o...if not the two of us go wear one trouser for that her store. Meanwhile I had already booked appt wiv my wash n' set hair-dresser...but I think this Naija lady will do a better job...make we dey look. I'll be back wiv pics on Wed. Fabulo-la I thot about u and ur experience wiv the ghetto store manager in Harlem...and I kept smiling all thru my waka in Harlem...lol.

Ehen! My people o, my 50th post is four posts away. As is the tradition in our community, you all are free to ask me ANY thing. Whatever it is you wanna know about me, besides my real name...lol...not ready to step out from the world of anonymity. But seriously, pls feel free to ask...dnt second guess, hesistate and wonder should I or shouldn't I? Let's make it a fun 50th biko! No question is too small, short or unimportant...lol. I know I dnt have an e-mail addy up, so pls send questions via comment box...If u want privacy, u can post ur comment as anonymous...To be honest am looking forward to hearing from u people o...mke una no fall my hand I take God beg una...dalu in advance.

Aight people...make I go find sleep wherever it maybe hiding.
Have a FAB week guys...be KIND, and remember whatever is worth doing, is worth doing well!

Talk to you guys soon,
xoxo,
Miss Enigma!
