APOLOGIES......

Hey guys, I am so sorry. I know I haven't updated in a long while but I have been having my attention pulled in so many directions lately. I can barely keep up.

I was following up the elections, feeling a little off for a while then work seemed to be getting a little too much lately so I feel tired by the time I am free. Then I am seriously preparing for the training coming up this Saturday so it has been a little bit crazy.

But don't worry once the training is over I would be back and better. I have so much to talk about. So how did the elections go at your side (for Nigerian residents)?

It was pretty okay here even though we heard of ballot boxes snatching and violence at some places. The next day there was a serious protest because a lot of people did not have the opportunity to vote. However everything seems calm for now (I hope it stays that way).

Okay, I have to run. Remember that the cocktail, mocktails and smoothies training is is this Saturday (18th April 2015) at Citi Chef, Aka Road, Uyo by 11am. Fee: N5,000 Please be there and tell a friend or family member.

Thanks for stopping by....

I AM A CINDERELLA GIRL....

Cinderella and her Prince...

If you don't know by now, let me tell you. I am a barbie girl and a Walt Disney princess girl. I love almost all of Walt Disney's fairy tale cartoons. I think i have watched all more than two times with the exception of Pocahontas 2. But my all time favorite in the whole universe is Cinderella.

There has been a whole lot of bashing of the princesses lately saying that it gives a false impression of character and body image to little children. To them i say, please chill out. It  is just good, harmless fun for crying out loud.

Anyway one day i saw a book online with the title 'lessons to learn from Cinderella' or so (i am not exactly sure of the title) and it got me thinking.

I have always loved cinderella and her lovely blue ball gown. I used to try to draw the gown and imagine me wearing something similar at a similar fantastic ball. But i loved her more when i analysed some of her traits. And also because i have a Cinderella's type of feet (our feet are so tiny that no one can wear our shoes....lol).

TRAINING! TRAINING!! TRAINING!!!

Glasses....

It is so surreal for me to write this post. When I was first asked to do this, I shut down the idea almost immediately. And then I forgot about it.

But when I came back to Uyo I had so many people ask me to do so. Which got me thinking why not?

They wanted me to like do the training informally but I decided that if I wanted to get myself out there in the business world that I have to do things professionally. And I also think it would be good for my friends, it would help them take this seriously. Not like the healthy hair journey that I tried to place them on, they didn’t take it seriously at all.Once the consultation was through they went back to their old ways...

A COCKTAILEY AND MOCKTAILEY SATURDAY.....

Hey guys, Happy new month. Can you imagine that we are already in February. Welcome to the month of love, joy, happiness and the month of moving to greater heights.

It is also the month of elections. People please pray for Nigeria, our politicians are seeming a little bit or a lot desperate. I have never seen as much name calling and assaults in this elction period as against previous elections.

I AM BAAAACCCCKKKKKKKKKK!!!

Hey guys, I have been MIA for a while now but I know you all know the reason. We finally finished the intense and very relevant training on friday (4/04/14) and I don’t think I regret going. It was eye opening and very informative but it also showed me that I have a lot of work to do in the pharmacy.

The drugs for HIV are free but to be able to know if the right people are benefiting from the program there has to be documentation. Every single thing has to be documented. Also I have to act like a CSI agent and scrutinize every prescription now, we cannot afford for mistakes. Because mistakes means ineffective viral control which means treatment failure which means big problem.

I didn’t take a lot of pictures because I had to act like a serious girl. Some of them were of the room I was lodged in. they gave me a suite and later wanted to evict me but things were settled. The bed was bigger than me 4 times. Seriously, I just perched myself in one corner. One day I laid on the bed and thought the bed was big enough for me, a husband and 2 kids (big or small), honest.

Anyway, here are some of the pictures. I do hope you like them….

Thanks for stopping by. Hey I forgot to let you guys know how special you are. My blog has almost 21000 views……Yay! I am so grateful to you guys. Thank you so much…

Luv ya guys to the moon and back….

FEELING TIRED A LOT

Hey guys, this is just a quick post. I noticed that i have been feeling tired a lot lately. I have been trying to understand why but it just clicked like right now. So now that i think i have realised the problem i would try to solve it by carrying out some major steps. I really need my energy to be waaayyyy up because i am attending a week long training in Eket next week.

 I know right, i said i had lectures and now i am talking about training. I was nominated to go for a training and seriously advised to go for the training because i am directly involved in the whole programme because of my present unit in the department.

It was brought to my notice that i could attend lectures in another centre. So i decided (after much thinking and prayers) to go for the training. I hope i don't regret it. I am going to miss all my friends and family that i won't see next week but i am up for this adventure. I would be sure to gist you about everything (and shhhhh i heard we might get paid some form of stipend......shhhhhh, it is top secret o) and be sure to upload pictures on my instagram page, watch out!

I have to go. I am feeling sleepy (maybe it was because i was on call yesterday). My star times subscription has expired and since i won't be around next week, i have decided not to renew it yet hence why i am sleeping early. I don't have Star plus channel (i love this indian channel) to watch again .......*wailing*.

Thanks for stopping by. Oh! I really feel guilty today. I gossiped about 2 people and i didn't like it or should i say i discussed the actions of 2 people with some friends........nah, it is still called 'gossiping'. I can't sugarcoat it. I don't like gossiping.

Someone once said that people who bring gist to you to gossip about probably used your own gist to trade in for the 'juicy bit of news' they are telling you. I am going to make a conscious effort to resist gossiping again. I don't like this feeling at all. I am trying to find a way to make it up to the people i was gossiping about. I know right? I am super strange. I am just wired that way.

Enough with the extra ramblings. Bye guys......

Luv ya,
Petite Diva...
