Hello my people, how body? Happy February oh! It's the 3rd already! This month is making my heart go grigbim and it's not because of valentine...(side eye to all you lovebirds)...it's about the elections coming up. The campaigns from that PDP and APC have been crazy- they should sha let peace reign in this country- all acting as if it's a do or die affair, Nigeria nor be anybody property. Have you seen the crazy videos and ads in newspapers? Jeeeeeeez! Let's pray for that February 14th oh. Who are you voting for and why?
It's been a while no Monday chitchat... You miss me abi? Even me I miss myself. And it's not my fault oh... Everywhere has been dry-January such a dry, long month. Lol. As Bobo no dey around its been extra boring... If I want to go out I can't be going alone na. So... I've been chilling doing other things like cooking and filming recipes and more videos! Plus remember earlier in the year I said that I've been extra busy on some projects i'm working on...well, work has taken over my life-amongst other things.
Someone left a comment saying if I can't keep up with Monday Chit-Chat that I should stop...what do YOU think? Make I stop? For me Monday Chit-Chat goes beyond posting photos of fancy places I spend my weekends at, it's an outlet for me to gist with all my online besties YOU! Make I still stop? *inserts tear-filled eyes*
I was talking to someone last week and she mentioned how she reads my blog and sees all the restaurants I go to and how much it cost for meals at these places and she said... "do you know 1500 can cook a pot of soup for me and my family for 1 month"? I stared at her like... udonmeanit! Then she added, "next time you want to go out please just gimme the 2k you want to use... I prefer it to you taking me out".
That conversation just opened my mind... I mean! Some of us spend 1500 just like that on recharge card...or something random like that and here's someone who needs that your pocket change to just be happy/survive. I'm just still here scratching my head wondering how I can help. Make I talk true, since that conversation to spend money I dey think twice...I'm like "this 2k burger from steers vs pot of soup..." aaaaarrrrrghhh!
Sunday was thanksgiving in my Church!!! I love thanksgiving Sundays but this one was extra special...there was a new band playing and see ehn, he's the BEST i've heard so far...the talking drums were just going dun dun gbun gbash gbash! I felt like I need to host a party just so I can invite his band to come and play-I had to get the band's details and i'm willing to share :D His name is Laolu Gbenjo (Pleasant Sound) 07039739987. If you ever use him, please invite me so I can come and dance. I was blessed!
Speaking of music, this Korede Bello's new jam "Godwin" has been playing in my head!!! I kent stopeeeet. So even though today na tuesday and Monday Chit-Chat was meant to be yesterday...nothing spoil- na Godwin!
Have a fantabulous week!
Hi, I have been reading your blog and I love it. As for the woman who uses one thousand to make a pot of soup still shows that there are a lot of issues that our politicians really need to focus on and leave the rhetoric's alone and solve these issues. If you are not too busy how about meals on a budget don't know if you have done it or I'm just better lastma on this one. Best of luck with the workload. Cheers.
ReplyDeleteSisi Yemmie, I follow your blog faithfully even though I rarely comment. Today I am moved to comment by the person who says if you can't keep up then stop. In short: ignore them. A blog is a personal outlet primarily...all else is secondary. Sometimes life happens or doesn't and one can't post as often as they would like. Regardless of what comments people throw at you, stay true to what makes you as a blogger happy.
ReplyDeletePeople will always talk their 2 cents joor. Don't stop going out and don't you dare stop Monday chit chat. Lol!
ReplyDeleteStop ke?! me am always looking forward to it oooo.. so please dont stop ooo...

ReplyDeleteHi sisi!happy february. evuasakpowaye@yahoo.com
ReplyDeletePlease don't stop the Monday chic-chat, its one of my favourite segment on your blog. We are praying for Nigeria, nothing will happen. Also when it comes to spending money it's all about priorities, I tend to spend most of my money on nice clothes rather than nice food.

Welcome back SisiYemmie. I missed you o! True talk about spending money. Although, I believe if you have the money be prudent but still spend it and also help others with it too. Have a blessed week and hope you're not missing Bobo too much. maadeyaila@yahoo.co.uk
ReplyDeleteDon't stop chit chat Monday! It's my favourite kind of post. My weekend was actually quite good, I studied for the most but on Sunday the Super bowl was on so it was really fun watching. Katy Perry's halftime performance was amazing! I went crazy when Missy Elliot was on stage. Hope you have a great week.
ReplyDeleteHmm... On a tuesday

Sisi yemmie! Omg! I never knew we go to same church. That guy and his band turned the service to a concert. I enjoyed every bit of the thanksgiving service. Hopefully i'll see you in church one of this days
ReplyDeleteYesooooo sometimes when you think of what you can make with the 1500 u waste around eating out you ll think twice. I think it's up to you to keep the chit chat going. It doesn't have to be called Monday Chit Chat then sha, lol u may just call it Monday, Tuesday even Wednesday Chit Chat depending on the day u post it. And am Voting Buhari o, not just because it's cool to do so now, I even voted for him in 2015 sef and I was laughed to scorn in my house, hehe, guess the Joke is on them now. I believe Buhari and his team can get a good job done, I respect them and I believe in them. That's why an voting for Him

ReplyDeleteXteri (xteriayaoba@gmail.com )
I think most of the campaign videos are extreme there really should be peace during and after the elections. Its understandable how busy you are with work, I dont think you should stop.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the person, if you cant post, then stop cos a lot of us come here looking for it
ReplyDeletepolitically indifferent here.

YAY! Happy birthday to us in ADVANCE ooooo, I think say na only me dem born for 28th feb.
DeleteI said stop because i refresh you blog like a 100 times on monday waiting for monday chit chat. Not necessarily because of the reviews and food but just how you talk about your weekend. I LOVE it. Just feel it is not fair to your readers. If we dont expect it then we wont keep refreshing and being disappointed. Anyway I'm sorry if i hurt your feelings. I just hate disappointments.
ReplyDeleteThank God self u don beq, I be wan track u down make my Goons help me fueni Bajinatu Kan Lori so ya head go come normal, you know how many times I refresh the blog???? Can't even count

This my pidgin self don plenty oooo, abeq I no fit talk again. BYE!
ReplyDeleteSisi Yemmie nice post. Please don't stop giving us fancy restaurant reviews, some of us that can't afford it yet live through you. As long as you can afford it. It's sad about the situation in the country that people feed on #1,5000 a month, it shouldn't make you feel bad about how you spend, I say again, as long as you can afford it. You can assist people around you in the little way you can and not feel guilty. Enjoy
ReplyDeleteAs for Monday chit chat I love it. Please don't stop, I understand how difficult it can be to update a blog regularly.
Take care Sisi
Ah, don't stop monday chit chat oh..no no no no...
ReplyDeleteand the lady that talked about the 1,500 being used for soup, that's true talk.
As a corper now, I can't afford to even use more than that.
If you are really bugged about it, you can create an outlet to give out and help others in tight corners...see the world through their eyes too.
I wrote a study on giving on my blog today sef.
www.imperfectlyperfectlives.com
It's beautiful, it really is not the same woman dressed now out of work, and I intend to buy swarovski charm to dress themselves, enhance their charm.
ReplyDeleteI always read your blog but rarely comment, I think the Monday chit chat is such a great and unique idea, don't stop it!! even if you miss a few Mondays. Keep doing what you do best and stay blessed x
ReplyDeletehuh? you berra dont try stopping monday chitchat..Its my go to thing during lunch break..Respect urself and clean those tears..I was vexing say it came Tuesday sef..As long as it comes, no wahala...
