So I was treated like a queen that I am yesterday #hehe, thanks to LoJ, my best friend will kill me for this. Though I am not so sure how I was able to consume ice cream, bestie's favourite chicken legend with extra chilli and ofcouse rounding it off with the super, mysterious, world class, energising, great, wonderful, cokeastic fabulous drink called "Coca-Cola" and still do a little shopping,kai, world pipu.
From musical video, to riddles to general life's stories to experiences to our soon to be completed Masters" program to food to photography to road trips,etc, we had more than enough to say and that makes a good outing, once you can say a lot, well, reasonable conversations by the way then I won't come up with excuses of how I need to catch up with someone within 20 minutes.
There was a particular topic that lingered for a very long while and it was the new trend of having so many single mothers in town these days. Blad as i'd love to call LOJ told me something really interesting yesterday, in his words: "he doesn't understand why relationships do not last, why one of the parties freak out at the last moment, why one of the parties begin to act weird a week after proposal, there were just a lot of why's. He said when he dated, he had a different perception to it, "treat her like a queen kinda perception......Oh,now I can place why I was treated like one yesterday *smiles*. A lot of things have changed, i'm not so sure where the problem lies, if it's from the ladies or from the guys, but sincerely eh, individually, we get wahala.
I hate to listen to one party when there's a break-up because sincerely it would only bring hate. Now, one bad thing most of us do is, listen to one person especially if it's same gender, and then we conclude and say, :"all men are like that jor", very useless set of people", but you will be shocked to find out the real cause of the problem.
I sat behind a lady during a church conference early this year, it was for single ladies. During the talk, the lady turned back and asked if I was married before, and I answered politely, NO, though my mind screamed, saying: " I never see papa ginika talk more of leaving him". I threw the same question back at her and she said YES, for less than a year, and I asked if she was blind folded when she met him and when they went through the whole process, but she turned and said "my sister, I married my friend,moreover he is a pastor".
I'm not so sure what's happening these days, I'm not so sure if it's a trend that has come to stay. But I think I love me some old school kinda love and relationship. I'd love the classic man (the old school guy) who can still write me letters, who would have some mis-understandings and make up within 24hrs.
God help us ooo 'cos no be so bible talk am. A man will leave his father's house, he go find woman, marry am, keep am for house, na only death supoz do dem part.
Anyways, I enjoyed my outing with Blad. I love me some Blad anyday.
P.S: LOJ is a great photographer asides his day's job.

ReplyDeleteYaaaaaaay...Claire is such a wonderful person to be with (please ya' all should book an appointment...Lol#justKidding)! Was my pleasure actually.So then the riddles of single parent goes on & on! I wonder how difficult it is to live with someone u claim u love? It's beyond me..u can say love is over-rated, I use to say that but am confident that most of these people weren't even in love to start with,getting swept off ur feet ain't true indications of mutually been in love, paint a Horror story at the back of your mind & if beneath all that u still tell ursef "Am staying" maybe and just maybe u are truly in love.
ReplyDeleteThe trend is changing, women are walking out of marriages now than most men.I have decent friends have their fiancee return their engagement rings after dating for years; such lady can walk out of a marriage & that begs the question if they were sleeping on a bicycle the whole time of the relationship??Cuz am thinking, what's the essence of dating If not to personally see if u want to be with this person?against all odds??& that's why most people date 'emselves longer than others to clear all doubts and see with their own eyes who they wana be with forever..except of cuz u went into the relationship for the wrong reasons(rebound, money, loneliness....) then u blinded to really look into the soul of the person u dating against all sentiments if truly they the one. In my conclusive opinion, single mums with living husbands are so much out there cuz they got what they wanted wrong right from the very first time he said "Hello"
Blad speaks. True words. We should try your coffee and chocolate next.
