Random Musingsssss!!! [[**crème brûlée**]]

Hey guys!

first and formostly...a big big big big SORRY! to all my lovely readers!!! I'm so sorry, it seems as if i have abandonned my blog, but i dare not! i haven't...not now! not ever!

how've you guys been??? I've bn pretty much ok..chillaxn maxn and relaxn..enjoying the lovely summer holiday iv got before school starts once again!...wow its July already...I've been spending quality time with Mr A...which ofcourse is very much needed =] lol...

anyway!! to the creme de la creme [[ d koko]] of today!!! :

Seriously..whats up with guys who think they can walk all over you, come back begging and think they stand a good chance??...it pisses me the hell off!!! how can you dump someone who really careD* about you...a few months later, walk back into the person's life thinkning you're back at square one again! all lovey dovey!! BULLISH! i don't understand o!! some people's reasoning is beyond me!...chei...

So the other day, my girl called me....me nd this babe go way back..since pri school..which is pretty much amazing because after several years of being apart...(she's in the states and i'm in the uk)..we just seem to always find time to catch up and narrate the happenings going on in each of our lives...[[most people barely remember the names of their primary school classmates!]] anyway....

Last year she started dating this guy which she went to secondary school with..after years of losing contact they got intouch once again through one of these social networks (hi5), she was in the states and unfortunately he was in the uk, well as they say..distance is no barrier for true love right?....within a coupla months..these two lovebirds started dating!....OFCOURSE!...it was tough and challenging at first...so many fights....misunderstandings..arguments..international calls > too expensive...(other stuff i won't really go into right now) blah blah blah....somehow they both seemed to be content with the relationship!....(bear in mind they had't seen each other since sec sch..the closest to seeing each other physically was via webcam...) to cut the long story short..

They dated for about a year...on and off..and each time the guy would call the shots..(dump her) becuase of one reason or the other....I thought to myself, she really must have liked this guy to tolerate his bullshit, cuz i know for a fact I wouldnt be able to cope with his nonsense and ingredients!...anyway...finally...babygirl...came into her senses..and summoned the courage to call it quits....she decided it was too much like hardwork and the guy wasnt giving her the respect she deserved. He dated other girls while they were in a relationship and even though she was warned by several people, she refused to believe the truth....i guess she was in denial...!

She moved on with her life like she was suppose to and I suppose he never really did cuz now he wants her back!...can you imagine?? homeboy's talking about being a changed person and all...worst of all! she's dating someone in the states now and she is madly in love with that guy!......you may have guessed..she asked me what she should do!....

I'm not even going to lie to myself! i honestly don't know what she should do because i am not in that particualr situation.never have and hopefully never will...

But i want to take this opportunity to ask you my readers...if you were in this babes position, what would you do??...

she is happy with her current boyfriend...but still has some feelings for her ex, despite the fact that the guy still resides in the uk and she will only see him during the summer holidays!...

so my people..help me on judging this one! I want to hear/read ur views before i tell you what she should actually do!!

P.S- i'm sure there are lots of grammatical errors in this post...i take God beg una..forgive me..as i don't really have time to read over again!!!

have a blessed week guys!! =]

mwah mwah mwah

(sorry guys! i still need to learn how to embed video links on this site)

i am too angry to even type right now...lemme go cool off

L'amour is on another level! A level of change.....[2nd Edition]

hey guys!!...

I am so sorry I've been so busy! it's crazy....ok so i guess thats not a good excuse to keep you guys hanging...it's just...

ok so at the end of the last post I said I hoped she hadn't done anything stupid....

***************************************************************************************

I started to rack my brain..where could this girl be o??....I hope she hasn't gone nd done something stupid.....!

I tried her number once more, it was turned off :-(

I started to wonder if calling the police would be the best thing to do, I thought to myself, no that would just make the situation worse! I better just calm down, she'll get to me in a couple of days...

I was damn worried...

I then checked to see if she has taken any of my belongings...

mu purses - check - still intact
my shoes - check
clothes - check
jewlery- check
Robin thicke c.d's /everything robin thicke (btw over £300 worth of investment - yes im crazy like that) - CHECK
my safe - Not ok...!

I remembered that I had been so stupid to let her know my safe combination.....not only did i have over a thousand pounds locked up in it (strictly for emergency), I had the family gold bracelet which was worth so many thousand of pounds - my mother had passed it on to me n my 16th bday as the third child, (its a cultural thang) but bottom line was, I was suppose to pass it on to my third child...because of how special it was to me i rarely ever wore it and she knew it's worth....

Well...unfortunately, thats the last time I heared from Angela..(till date)

Not only was i embarassed that i brought and fed someone like this into my home, it just proved to my very confused (his sexuality i mean) housemate that nigerians are trully what people say they are. I had to apologise to him for her haste exit..I didnt let him know what she did to me though.

Now this post is not for anyone to feel sorry for me. I have decided not to dwell on the past but to learn from my mistakes and move forward. My mother almost killed me through the phone when i told her what happend. As for Mr A, he was there for me a 100% all through...offered to even replace the money....

Now this blog entry is titled on a level of change because i have realised that when ur so generous to people, they take advantage of you which isnt right! but such is life, I am going to change my generosity towards people, I'm learning to say big fat NO to people! trust me it isnt easy because I hate people telling me NO! but it seems thats the only way to avoid getting hurt anf getting one's self into all this mess......I will be nice to those who I know/ or think I know and would never do such to me, but if i dont know you, dont be expecting no favours ffrom me because I will say no!...

everyone should be responsible for their actions....I hve no idea how Angela got herself into that mess but the right thing should have been to pick herself back up!..if you fall, don't be too embarassed to stand up once more and act like it never happend.

As for Pablo, he got fed up of his boyfriend for two years and decided to explore the female species after so many months of me convincing him too...*reely twisted* but he's happy!! thats all that matters!!!

I am learning to say NO! and its something I hope God will understand despite all I have been through, I have faith in God and I pray what happend to me never happens to anyone!...

To those who are too generous and have never been dissappointed...I dnt know how you guys do it but my advice to you is to slow down....life is very unfair, you would think people are genuine until they stab you right in the back with your own kitchen knife!....
I am not saying become cruella de ville but be easy...theres always a time to say those two horrible letter N and O!


**************************************************************************************
I hope y'all have a nice weekend (even thought its almost over!! crazy how time flies when your having fun)

I promise to update regulaarly!! I hope I can keep that promise!! (yes I can)

Thnxxx guys for all the love and support!!

all my juicy love

-xxx- L'armour -xxx-

L'amour is on another level! A level of change.....[1st Edition]

hey guys,

How's everyone doing?? I hope your all having a good weekend? as for me, yours trully is chillaxn and trying to make summer plans!!! I don't know where to go on holiday! Like for real I dont't want to keep going to the same places for holiday (Naijj, Yankee, France, Dubai blah blah blah) I's getting bored! don't get me wrong, I love naijj o!!! upon all the corruption poverty nd crime! chillaxn at the Palms and being with family is the best but its all about CHANGE, its all about exploring new places, doing new things and meeting new people !! Suggestions on where L'armour should go on holiday this summer '08 are welcome!!! ( i beg una)

The weather's extremly sexy just how I like it, not too warm not too chilly lol but unfortunately i have some major spring cleaning to do...my room is an utter disgrace! as in I am too ashamed to bring anyone in..lol..apart from my boyrfriend ( who I will always be reffering to as Mr A in this blog)..

So in this post, I will be talking about change!....

"the process of becoming different"

Change is a dynamic. It can not be tamed or denied. Either you are going up, or you are going down! So ambition, creativity, hard work and investment need to be sustained,to become what you really want to become.

Things just don’t change without a catalyst to provoke the change. Change, like a yeast culture that needs to be fed. You have to provide the right environment for it to occur.

In my previous post, I mentioned that I am a generous person, infact a VERY generous person is an understatement and people often abuse this quality of mine....

One fine Thursday afternoon, I was in the libary studying for my psychology exam which was to take place on monday, when suddenly my phone rang....it was Mr A...the convo went like this

Mr A - baby!
L'armour - sup hun? (thinking why the hell is he calling me when he knows I am in the libary studying and is aware of how many chapters of my FAT psychology text book I have to read)
Mr A - Have you spoken to Angela today?
L'armour - No why are you asking? you know I am on the d-low for a bit..I have to get these exams over and done with...
Mr A- Yes I know but she called me and sounded really distressed and she wanted to talk to you urgently
L'armour- Urgently??...what's wrong with her...??? (confused)
Mr A- I don't know, she refused to tell me, so i told her I'd give you a call and tell you to call her!
L'armour - Ok babe, I'll call her!...don't forget to come pick me up at the lib at 6...fancy nandos???
Mr A- yh,ok, then 6 it is!
L'armour - byeee...lurhhv you !
Mr A- bye!

Angela (I call her Thumbolina..lol..another story)...was a friend of mine...we met at party in Reading, through a mutual friend of ours...I won't say we were bestfriends, I'll say more like "close" friends..but we did have our moments, when we had an argument we would both be so childish about it and do the whole "not talkn to you/ I don't care about you" thing...(now i look back and LOL lol)...I was always there whenever she needed me or knocked on my door or even facebook msgd me that there was a problem...once again, I look back, she never was really there for me, if ever I had a problem, she wasn't a fantastic friend! I wouldn't dream of calling her at 4am in the morning to tell her i had a huge argument with Mr A (the insults wey i go chop ehn..no be small) so I usually refrained from getting myself into that type of wahala..sha sha...i was nevertheless always there for her....

ok..moving on...so i called Angela....

L'armour - babes!! kilon pop?!! u called my husband?
Angela- Yeah...I did, where have you been?! I need your help
L'armour - shoot..whats wrong??..
Angela- I need to pay my rent, or else I'm getting kicked out by my friggin landlord..he's been on my neck for time now! and I am so broke..
L'armour- mehnn I'm a bit on the broke side now o...I wont even lie to you, you know if I had, I would gladly help you out...
Angela -*sobbing* mehnn L'armour I don't even know what to do! I've bn on the rough side lately..I need to move out and pay him, I dont have anywhere to stay...
L'armour- hmmm....*brainstorming* well I can't think of a solution to your problem right now O...but I am thinking..
Angela- Seriously, comitting sucide is starting to look like an option...
L'armour - Don't even go there!..Ok babes you know what..?? move in with me!
Angela - Your little cubicle'??
L'armour- Erhmmmm (see this idiot o..calling my room cubicle...ok now go and freeze on the streets, you landlord has not even started with you yet...pepper is still yet to come! oloriburuku...I'm doing you a favour, dont curse my room) take it or leave is babe..move in with me! I'm serious..
Angela- L'armour!!! (she sounding all happy!) when now??..I can start moving today O..sharp sharp!
L'armour - tommrow love, right now I'm in the lib, I have to study for my exams, jus start packing your stuff, me and Mr A will come help you out. then you can tell me how you got into this mess!
Angela - thank you darling, your a life saver and i love you so much
L'armour - Ok..anyway I'll talk to you, keep me posted aiight??
Angela- byee and thank you once more..

After hanging up, I thought to myself..lol..I jus technically evicted Mr A, as he usually spent most of his nights with me!..O well I'm sure he wouldn't mind..!

My place is a two bedroom apartment posted up in central London, nothing big, nothing special, my housemate is a lovely guy (gay) so yeah, he is really easy going and doesn't give me wahala ...and i don't think I give him wahala either lol :-)


****************************************************************************************************************

Fastfoward -

A coupla days later, Angela moved in with me...at first things were great, she never paid for anything, food, roof over her head, no gas bills, no nothing. I thought to myself, I was the one that suggested she come, I might as well go the extra mile and help her out.

Over the next day, weeks, months....(not yrs lol)
we shared almost everything, she knew alot about me and I knew reasonably alot about her too...

Suddenly she started behaving obnoxoius! never cleaned up after herself, never bothered to help out around the house!

even my housemate noticed and spoke to me about her. At first I didnt want to sound rude and tell her to leave, instead I spoke to her politely and asked her what plans she was making about her accomodation...I could sense she was a bit offended by what I had asked her (but hey...it had to be done at some point, this one that my flatmate is even complaining) but that wasn't the case at all (whethere i offended her or not). She promised she was getting herself sorted and would be gone by the end of the week. I asked if she had anywhere to go and she said yes.

Only if I had known...that yes silently meant - "No I have nowhere to go and I can tell I am becoming a pain in the ass but I will steal some of the little money you have and any other item i feel is valuable and get the fuck out of this shithole!"

*****************************************************************************************************************
I got home on a friday afternoon after lectures and found a note from Angela...

"I'm honestly greatful for everything you have done for me"

Immediately, I knocked on Pablo's (my housemate) door (homeboy was getting jiggy with a chick o...*confused- i thought he was gay*

anyway..that could be discussed later!..lol...i screamed..have you seen Angela??...Pablo replied.."no I havn't...I jus got in and as u can see I am very busy!"...Ok thnx..and I slammed the door..

I quickly called Mr A - as I usually do whenever i'm worried (as in always)...asked him and he hadn't seen her either...

I started to rack my brain..where could this girl be o??....I hope she hasn't gone nd done something stupid.....!

To be Contd...

Sorry people..I have to bounce...something just came up...
