I'M BACK!!!!!!!!!!

Alright people click your heels together and show me the money 'cos innocent sweet Eke is back!!!!

Hi y'all,

whats been happening? First of all i want to apologise for the long silence... i know i missed you all too. I know i even went offline but trust me, it was for my own good. I was weighed down with exams and me being me, i had to study...u know daddy spent some good money and i have to utilise the opportunity. Oh well, lets get started here.

Happy New year y'all and welcome into 2008...a year of good beginnings! If you have been beleiving God for a lot of things, this is the year. Can someone please say Amen!... whoo...good to be back.

Ok so christmas was good...actually very beautiful. It was a full house with no parents around. I had my sister, brothers, friend and my brother's girlfriend (who is so great and i should call her and say hi). Christmas day was great. We all woke up and had morning devotion after which everyone went doing what they wanted to do. Not me, i went to get the kitchen clean as i had to start christmas lunch. We made rice (jollof and fried), roasted a whole chicken (took forever but the stuffing was great), made cake, dodo, salad etc. By the time we settled down to eat, the time was about 3pm. The table was beautiful and we took pictures which i cant get a hold of now but as soon as i do, y'all be getting a taste of how christmas was for me.

It was so good to be with family and i must say, i was missing them so much that i became ill...had a terrible cold, lost my voice and couldnt really do my solo very well (i'm in the choir). But it was all good. Mom was around for the new year and we had that mother and daughter talk again...if you know what i mean? and dad called to wish us well. Needless to say, i'm very hopeful this year and have decided to put my whole trust in God. Well, we had fun spending time as a family and my friend felt right at home (she couldnt stop complimenting my family and how much she loved my mom...well, i know the feeling, she is my mom u know?). She is also ibibio and so she felt right at home with the kpong,kpong language...lol.

London was so nice but i got bored and plus i wasnt able to read for the duration that i was there (10 days) but at least i had fun with the family and no, i didnt watch any film that had Jesus and His disciples speaking yoruba! It was beautiful all the way. I came back to school and started forcing myself to read but when crunch time came, nobody told me to read, i was reading like crazy. Awele was so worried that she even sent a mail to ask if i was ok (i'm sure she really wanted to ask what was happening with the blogs...see, she misses the blogs more than she misses me...lol). There was a lot of sales around and y'all know me and shoes! i bought loads and i must admit, i'm ashamed of myself but who cares, they are shoes and i have lovely feets to go with them (wish i could say the same for my body, my choir leader and pastor says i had so much fun over the holidays so i'm taking drastic measures...getting a lipo!).

Ok people, it's so glad to be back and i want to thank you all for being patient with me. Dara, it was so nice to see u again (i hope u enjoy all them things u bought) just remember to come naked next time and then u can start clothing yourself from the airport...lol. Seun honey, i'll see u, Ebele and Bimpe very soon...will let y'all know when. Nkem, thank you very much for everything and please note, that wasn't my mom. Alright, i'm out. I want to hit the shops and see how many good shoes i can get for a £1 (Seun, get it?). Take care y'all and happy new year once again.

I love you all.

Ciao!

PS: I was kidding about the Lipo...just getting down to regular dieting and exercise (wish me luck).
