Nominees

The nominees for the Naija Bloggers Award 2009 are up. Stop by and see if u were nominated. If not, u still have a chance to be nominated for the Category B awards.

On to other matters, maybe i'm still very naive but it has come to my attention very recently how two-faced a LOT of people are, especially at my lab. How can you say mean, hateful things about someone behind their back and then laugh and smile to their face. What kind of behavior is that? If i'm mad at someone, trust me, they know it. If i have a problem with you, we either work it out or i give you space. I can't have issues with someone and be smiling with them like everything is cool and then go be talking crap about them as soon as they leave.

It is just disgusting to watch. I guess it's human nature but i don't like it at all!

yours love Jennifer.

Abeg, my people make una help me understand this email wey i get. I know the name Sting is kinda masculine and i vaguely remember someone saying they thought i was a guy. But on my blog profile it clearly states that i'm female. Why am i now getting a love abi na interest letter from a female? See me see wahala. There's nothing about this blog that doesn't reveal my identity as a female. Some blogs are gender neutral like rethots ( i always thinks he's a female, even after he clarified, i still forget), my blog is not one of those. Wetin i wan come tell this woman wey dey write me love letter?

I read the Mrs. Club. After i have digested this chinese food that i overfed myself with, i will come back and talk about the book (another day o!, this food no ready to digest any time soon)

As for the naija bloggers award, only GNG and toluwa have even "hinted" that they might be interested in helping. Neither of them have committed o! So as at this point, it's just me. I've already contacted my friend so he can design a pretty decent logo (or whatever it's called) for winners. We need different categories, like someone (can't remember who) suggested, "Most diplomatic blogger" etc. We have to come up with those. I want us to have really fun categories, not the regular old bootleg stuff. Also, i think we should agree on the title of the award, like should it be Nigerian bloggers award, naija bloggers award or blogville abi na blogsville award etc.

Come oh! We all need to agree on this... Is it blogville or blogsville? And for some reason whenever i see blog(s)ville, i only think of Nigerian (or honorary nigerian) blogs.

Seriously guys, u all are DULLING big time. I can't do this thing by myself. I need people to brainstorm with and exchange ideas so we can make this thing fun.

I remember in secondary school, we used to have the "MC" awards in my class. We had categories like MC cute, MC struggling to bubble, and MC i must contribute (Ezinne) etc. Me and one of my best friends always used to win MC cute. It was a lot of fun cos we had really silly categories that kind of made sense, at least to us. I miss my class girls menh!

Anyway, ur thoughts and suggestions are welcome. Leave it in the comment section, email me (chacha4mi@hotmail.com)!

Ciao people.

Award time......

This year is off to a very promising start. So i just received this cute (i love butterflies and i love pink) award from Oyin. In my quest to discover new blogs, i stumbled on hers recently and she deemed it fit to pass this award to me.

Ha! Eat ur hearts our blogville........................ I kid, i kid!

The award states "This blog invests and believes in PROXIMITY - nearness in space, time and relationships! These blogs are exceedingly charming. These kind of bloggers aim to find and be friends. They are not interested in prizes or self-aggrandizement. Our hope is that when the ribbons of these prizes are cut, even more friendships are propagated. Please give more attention to these writers!

Deliver this award to eight bloggers who must choose eight more and include this cleverly-written text into the body of their award."

I really like this award because of what it's about. When i first started blogging in 2007, for the longest time, i didn't allow comments cos i wasn't trying to meet anybody. I just wanted a place to unload my troubled thoughts. Now, it's different. I don't mind meeting people on here. A couple of you guys are my friends on facebook, and the very lovely miss GNG took the time and effort to call me one time when i was having some issues and needed someone to talk to. What could be sweeter than that? She's awesome.

You guys see the right side of this blog...... look! It has my email address. Feel free to use it if u have questions or what not. I'm always happy to receive emails, now replying is another thing. Just joking. All you pre-meds out there, naija or otherwise, feel free to email me. Bumight was very helpful and encouraging when i was going through that process, so i definitely want to extend the favor to anyone else i can.

Do u guys remember this award? I said i was going pass it on, and i never did. Well....... it's a new year. I guess (as hard as it is for me), i'm going to stop being so selfish and pass this award along. If you hear ur name, come to the front of the class, stretch out ur hands. Six strokes of the cane, cos you all have been naughty.

1. Good naija girl
2. Bumight
   
3. Solomonsydelle
4. Temite
5. Crase.... i mean, Vera
6. Toluwa
7. Invisible
8. Standtall
9. Mizchif
   
10. Geisha
    

I know she said 8 but i did 10 cos i can. These people, in one way or the other have shown that they deserve this award (i mean, strokes of the cane), so it wasn't a random pick. It was very well thought out. Alright guys, pass it on.

On to other related business. You all know award season is about to start. The Grammys, Emmy, Golden globes, Razzies or what have you. I'm not exactly sure cos i never watch these things but i remember (vaguely) that it's usually at the beginning of the year. I think we need to do another Nigerian Bloggers Award thingy. Taureanminx and Azuka came together and had one in 2006. Vera talked about it here. There's a lot more new nigerian bloggers on the scene. I wasn't even a blogger when the first one was held. I think it's going to be a lot of fun. Picture blogville idol 08. Besides i think it will help wake up all u lazy ass bloggers who have refused to update. ABBIE..........!!!!!! UPDATE!!!!!!

So who's up for it? I most definitely would love to be a part of it, but since i haven't done it before i have no illusions i can even begin to do it by myself. We need other interested parties who can make this thing fun and maybe put some life into blogville, help us come together, discover new blogs, embrace new bloggers and all that good stuff. Thoughts, comments, suggestions............ Leave it in the comment section, email me (chacha4mi@hotmail.com), whatever. Let's make this happen.

Blogville Idol 08

Vote here.

Voting started today. I was torn btw GNG, Abbie and Charizard. First of all Charizard got me thinking he would sing like a frog but i was pleasantly surprised. Since we are only allowed one vote, it was a tough decision. Don't bother asking cos i won't tell u who i voted for. But the three i mentioned were my favorites for this week. Geisha wasn't bad also.

Now to today's scheduled rant. People pls tell me how much u think ur mouth/teeth is worth. $10,000? Tell me. I don't think i should have to spend that amount oh, unless i'm deformed or something like that, but as my life would have it that's what i'm going to be spending on teeth they were okay in the first place.

My dentist instructed me a couple of yrs ago to go get braces cos i was missing one premolar and two molars and in order for him to do a bridge, my teeth would have to be shifted to their correct spot. The empty spaces in my mouth had cause my teeth to shift over the years. How did these teeth leave my mouth in the first place? Thank u for asking. Incompetent Nigerian dentists. Yes, i'll say it once and i'll say it again. Two of those teeth were pulled off because their drilling machine or whatever they call it was not working. The cavities were not bad at all. I kid u not! The last one was a milk tooth that i still had at 18. When i had a cavity on that tooth, the idiot dentist figured since it was a milk tooth, he might as well take it out instead of fixing it, even though it was clear from the X-ray that i congenitally did not have a permanent tooth that was going to grow out. That, my people is how i lost all those teeth.

So i got the braces, which cost me $6150. Unlike some of u lucky pple, i don't have anybody paying my bills for me. Now the braces are off, time to get the bridge that made me get the braces in the first place, and i was initially told it was cost about $1000 after my insurance paid for it. Only for me to get there today and i was told that since i lost those teeth years ago b4 i got that insurance, the insurance company will not pay cos it was a pre-existing condition. Thunder fire all of them! I had to cough up $3337.50. I wanted to die. How i managed to keep a straight face, i can't tell u. They don't do payment plans or anything like that. Thank God for credit cards, that's all i have to say.

God punish all those idiots dentists in Nigeria that caused me to go through all this nonsense. I'm not even talking about the pain i'm in right now. Just imagine, i had to pay someone over $3000 to cause me this much pain. I'm in serious pain right now for real. I need those hugs and kisses thrown abi na blown this way.
