Pick up lines: Funny vs. Dumb

One of the things I enjoy most about being a female is listening to various pick up lines that guys use. It is not new to anyone by now that women are tripped by what they hear but some pick up lines end up becoming “drop offs” aka game spoilers. It is unbelievable to think that once upon a time people used to write letters in this manner: “It is with deep love in my heart that I pick up this golden pen from my basket of roses to pour out my love for you” others would even say “As I was sleeping a bird sang with a golden voice that reminded me of you and your angelic voice so I decided to write you this letter” (OK so I made up this second one lol) maybe the literature books we studied then influenced us but this is way beyond Shakespeare, it would rather pass for dumbspeare. Imagine a guy walking up to a Politician’s daughter to say “Is your father a thief?” He’s innocent pick up line will land him a dirty slap before he gets the chance to add “because he stole the stars and put them in your eyes”, in fact at this point he will be the one seeing the stolen stars in his eyes…hehehe.

Blackberry owners are not smiling: The beef between blackberry and Android phone users.

I would like to share with you the broadcast message I got yesterday that motivated me to write this article:

We the Blackberry users association of Nigeria have decided not to accept any request from non- blackberry users. If you like be using iphone5, galaxy S4, Nokia camry, Tecno G wagon, we won’t accept! If you must ping go and buy a blackberry and suffer phone hanging and battery problems like us!

Dorcas weds Joshua

On Saturday 26th of October 2013 at Our Lady Queen of Nigeria Pro-cathedral in Area 3 Abuja, Dorcas and Joshua were officially pronounced Husband and wife.

5 Lies that may "Preserve" your relationship

The crazy things I think of ehn. That’s why I am glad I have readers like you who will share these thoughts with me *blows kisses*. I was just thinking about an argument I had with some friends a while ago, it was a battle of the sexes who tells the most lies: Men or women. Anyone who is not biased will agree with me that this argument will be inconclusive so instead of going at each others' necks all the time I have decided to bring something good out of it (talk about nothing good coming out of Nazareth…Lol)

What your Excel spread sheet won't teach you

Financial experts have taught us to always make a budget to enable us check our expenses. A lot of people have adapted the use of excel spread sheets to do the budget most times even before the salary account is credited the money has already been spent on the spread sheet. There are even spread sheets online that have being prepared to help with your wedding budget so this way all you have to enter are the figures(yea; it is that easy so what’s your excuse?). It sounds very encouraging and accessible, in fact I know of people who work with it at every opportunity and they say it’s been really helpful to them but how feasible is it? Whether feasible or not, I have realized there are certain things the spread sheet won’t teach you. Find them out after the cut…
