FORGET OR GET EVEN

There are people in life that would hurt you so much you don't know what to do, and one thing i have realised is that, it is the people that we love that hurt us the most so i have one question. Should i forget or get even. Forgetting might sound easy but the pain is there and getting even may be fun at first until you realise that you are hurtig yourself. I don't know what to think.

MRS RIGHT


I believe that the word "Mr Right" by young ladies who want a perfect gentleman is highly over rated.
Every female has this dream to find a perfect man. Some girls have this need to have a financially stable and secure husband.This is a physical need. Not every handsome man is a perfect man,every less than average handsome man is not supposd to be the perfect man either. In terms of being financially stable, money comes and money goes hut either way money is very important in a relationship.Instead of calling it money, i would call it financial stability. If the man is not financially stable, a wedding is not ready to take place and definitely the marriage that comes after having a wedding ceremony.
Marriage and wedding are two different things, one is permanent and the other isn't, Marriage is supposed to be the permanent one and the wedding is temporary. The wedding ceremony, the fun at the reception lasts but one day but what happens after the wedding? Marriage. Marriage is an instituition by itself and it is supposed to last for a lifetime and this happens to those who are fortunate.
Some are compelled to get married because their peers are getting married, this is most especially of so many ladies,they have been bridesmaids in five or six different weddings and now their mothers are asking them, "when are other people coming for your wedding?" Others will keep picking from a selction of men especially to find the perfect one. I will tell you, No man will ever be perfect before you marry them, it will probably take you a lifetime to make a man perfect which is almost impossible, its just like telling a leopard to change its spots but i believe in the power of prayer.
I once dated this dude who just wanted to get married, thats all he could think of was get married.
"Oh babe lets get married tomorrow, oh babe i wish we could get married tonight." All that was wishful thinking because it never happened.
Stability in both mental and physical areas of life need to be established. I would not date anyone who is not spiritually stable or financially stable. It might not sound fair but if the guy's intentions are to take me to the altar, he had better have a job and a real good one for that matter.
Some of my mates want a handsome man, with a dashing car especially a new model and he also has to be on a six figure salray (in their wildest dreams) and so many fantasies. These are lovely thoughts but what will happen if the man is disabled,will he still be attractive to you, what if one of your jealous ex girlfriend pours acid on him, would you still find him attractive, what if he crashed his car on the freeway and he had no insurance and he buys a bucket would you still ride ith him?If he got laid off from his six figure paying job and he started living on Social security or living off you, would you still bear him, these are very uncomfortable questions> it is very tempting to say yes, but it is really hard.
SOmetimes you would wake up one morning and ask yourself why you are stuck with someone who looks like the character of the beast from "The Beauty and The Beast", has a legedesbesnz (on foot) and seems to share similarities with the life of a beggar and your frends will tell you "Why are you still with that man?, He has nothing to offer you". Beware of such freinds, people like that like to give advice that they cannot act on. When you go to his house, you look in the fridge he has no food, just water, you get tempted to cuss him out but how? Will you be in the relationship out of self pity, because he did you one favor in the past? Or you have made vows and you are scared of the consequences of breaking those vows. Hmm, Food for thought.
Have you ever thought of being Mrs Right?
Mrs Right is the right lady. Enough said.
Not too many women have this perspective in mind, they just want to be a lucky bride, who then is Mrs Right.
Have you ever wondered why men don't search for ladies anymore? Because women are too busy searching for men up to the point where they settle for anything and anyone just to be with someone. Out of pressure, they think to themselves,"He is the one".
Females, have you gotten your degree, a damn good job, do you have a spiritual life, do you have harmony and balance in your life? Can you balance your check book at the end of the month and still go on vacation? Can you spend a whole month without borrowing money from your friends, family and savings? Have you ever thought of working at becoming a person for yourself without relying on the prescence of another person. Why do you think men don't want "gold diggers" and "limited liabilites" for themselves. Have you ever thought of why men chase women who have got it covered physically and end up marrying a "good girl" (morals, money,beauty),because what was given to them was offered on a platter of gold. "Who will buy the cow when the milk is free?" Really why buy the cow when the dairy milk comes free everyday. That same guy will dump you and get the girl behind you. When you can fulfil all the requirements of a perfrect person only then will you become someone's Mrs Righr. Trust me,Men will come in their flock.

MARRIAGE IN THE 21ST CENTURY


The last time i checked Marriage was supposed to be a "for better for worse kind of thing." It is supposed to be a lifetime commitment but these days, i have actually noticed that marriage is like going on a week spring break and coming back. People walk in and out of marriages as if nothing happened. It is fast becoming a trend that sometimes the thought of being single is bliss. Please don't get me wrong, i have actually seen successful marriages, marriages that have lasted for more than ten,twenty, thirty, forty, i have seen them all. I wish people would keep those standards today but in this world where morals are seriously on the decline ,it is hard to do so.On facebook, i read some random quotes on marriage.
Someone was thinking about marriage as three rings "engagement ring, marriage ring and suffering" - anonymous.
Other quotes i read were
"Marriage is yeserday's news, divorce is the way forward and its my kinda style."
"Why get married, find someone you hate and give them half of everything"
"Swine flu, what women catch after they get married"
"Marriage is not a word, it is a sentence ( a life sentence)
"Someone is watching their wedding video in reverse and loves the part where the ring is takne off and gets back into the car and goes away"
"Someone is sitting here looking at the marriage certificate, where is the expiry date?"
"At a cocktail party, one woman asked another "Aren't you wearing your ring on the wrong finger?" and the lady replied "Yes, i married the wrong man."
"In session, someone is now a marriage counsellor, session 1. top right hand corner, click LOG OUT
These are random facebook comments.That mindset is fast becoming reality.I don't think people should see marriage as such. Just as many people are getting married, so many people are getting divorces. It shocked me to hear this morning that Usher Raymond and Tameka Foster are actually getting a divorce,and sometimes i ask myself what really is the problem, didnt they see this coming at all.Was it not last month or so that Nas and Kelis hit the rocks, at the beginning of this year, a budding relationship ended up with punches and brutal beatings when Rihanna and Chris Brown came into the spotlight with domestic abuse. That whole incident was on the news for more than two weeks.It's like these days people just make up and break up. Did anyone ever think that Bobby Brown and Whitne Houston would end up where they are today? I grew up in the 90's listening to lyrics of songs that had Bobbi and Whitney like Alpha and Omega or Bonnie and Clyde. Other hot Hollywood couples i admire are Will and Jada Smith, David and Victoria Beckham and i am praying that they don't end up like Bobbi and Whitney.When all these celebrity's take pictures on the red carpet one would think that they are living perfect lives but no one is living a perfect life, everyone has problems that hide under make up, blemishes that could be skin deep or laying right in the soul like a tattoo. Maybe now i would say that marriage is luck. You may be lucky to find a good spouse that would stay with you for the rest of your life through thick and thin. I don't know. There must be explanations for this stuff going on, its like a pandemic. First you hear of someone getting married, next thing they are getting a divorce. I think this generation has had the most divorce rates. Maybe because there is a serious moral decline.
I have also noticed something, i think heterosexuals are the ones who frequently go to the divorce court, i don't think i have ever seen or heard of a homosexual relationship hitting the rocks.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am just thinking out loud. I am not in support of single sex marriags but i think that they kind of stay together more than heterosexuals maybe that is why they are pushing the "Sexual Equality Movement". If God made man to be with the woman why then don't they stay together why are better relationships budding out of homosexuals? What is it that they have that heterosexuals can't just figure out? Is it an estrogen and testeterone battele? I am wonderin and pondering.
I have seen parents of friends walk into marriage and walk out like nothing happened. Most of the time even while living together they live like"worse than roommates", like total strangers to each other and the children in the marriage observe it. Ladies please don't blame men for having "commitmentophobia" or men please dont blame ladies for feeling the same way. They must have probably watched their parents act out the nightmare that was called their marriage.Some children from dysfunctional homes tend to have fear of commitment or rather making mistakes in finding life parteners."What if he/she is not the one?" "I don't want her to turn out to be like my step mom/dad"I mean i think most parents make very selfish decisions when it comes to dealing with marital issues. Other children from dysfunctional homes sometimes more often than not live happily ever after, they tend to become their own personality aside from their parents inbuilt genes in them and get someone who understands and loves them for who they really are to be married to. They find someone who they don't want to make the mistakes their parents made to spend their lives with. Nothing is as sad as repeating the same mistake not once but TWICE.
Something is not right, the motives for getting married might be wrong, maybe its pregnancy but these days who cares about being pregnant before getting married. No one does. Or maybe its about the money, all these pre nup stuff, its crazy, and then the baby drama issues. I mean look at Jon and Kate, they are supposed to be role models for baby making factory women. They have 8 kids for goodness sake and they have just succeded in announcing to the media about not being steady or rather a possible break up, not a smart move on Jon's side i would say, he would be paying child support on those 8 kids for the next ten to fifteen years.A friend of mine on facebook wrote that "Usher and Tameka have finally come to an end, let's see how long Brangelina has left to go" I mean is it some form of prediction, right now i don't know but this summer, i have to go on a mariage tour or rather a marriage bus.Can someone bring up a reality show for singles with commitmentophobia?
After reading all those quotes i don't wish for anyone to look back after five years of being married and regret it, we all make decisions and we must try to live with them, no matter how bad, if you can't marry someone you can call your best friend,don't bother getting married at all because marriage is like friendship on a whole different level, it comes with love and children and enjoying life. I want to go for wedding anniversaries of my friends after 20 years of being with the same person not the second or third spouse. I pray long life and prosperous marriages for all reading this and i like these quotes
"Marriage is sharing your life with your best friend, someone you can count on no matter what, your one true love"
"A successful marriage requires falling in love many times with the same person"
"You don't marry the person you can live with, you marry the person you can't live without."
" In the end when all is done, it will be me and you, nothing can overcome."
Wishing all the 2009/2010 married couples to be a happy married life filled with love and beautiful children,i don't want to write any sad articles about anyone i know,please. Love you much

If you want to marry a Nigerian Boy.Lol

I was on my facebook page today and a friend of mine had this list of things a girl should be to marry a nigerian boy. There are a lot of standards a lot of men want in their women but i think women should make their own standards and be their own selves. A man would value a woman who is true to herself, and not trying to "put a show". I want to analyse her list because i thought about it and i think some of them are true. Lets start with number 1.

1. Thou shall NOT be a LONG TINS BABE (you know what I mean?)

Well i really don't know what you mean, the last time i heard long tins, it was from the Dbanj cd.

2. Thou shall not lack in boobs, yansh and hips. If you must, please lack only one and find a way to make up for it.

Okay i know a babe has to be cute and all but whats up with making up for stuff you don't have, if he loves you he will accept you for who you are and not what you've got, marriage is beyond physical. And come to think of it, men really like their women looking like hour glasses, not just another man.Lol!

3. Thou shall NOT be a down to earth, real or ride or die chick. I.e all those ruff, rugged and raw "tell it as it is" girls, NOT WERKING.

If your yes is yes and your no is no, then thats all you need, if you are not down to earth, you will be sending out mixed signals. It works my dear if not then the guy must be a boy and not man, he has a lot of growing up to do.

4. Thou shall not have dew hair (All those afro/afro-kinky "soul" sisters… FORGET IT).

The last time i checked, Jill Scott, Macy Gray and Ty Bello had dates and probably husbands, not too cool saying afro kinky hair is not in because i like afro hair myself. Admire your roots and stop trying to look European with hair that would sweat out after three weeks. Its not permanent, thats why its "due" every three to four weeks and you keep getting those"touch up" that make your hair fall out anyway, dreadful.

5. Thou shall not be a non-church goer. Ladies, for extra credit, be an usher, Sunday school aunty or PRAYER WARRIOR (This applies to other religious sects)

Why would you go to church anyway to just impress a man because you are a disgusting usher who had an abortion three weeks ago,or a choir mistress having an affair with married men? Check yorself, don't offend God because you are trying to please a man, have a personal relationship with God and all other things will be aded unto you.

6. Thou shall not go to club to find husband... YOU GO JONZ!!

Do people really go to the club to find husbands? Waoh!!!!!!!!!!!

7. Thou shall not drink hard liquor or beer. Stick to 2 glasses of wine, IF YOU MUST DRINK ALCOHOL

In my own opinion, you are either a social drinker or a drunk, Choose one.

8. Thou shall not have un-manicured nails (It has to be French manicure acrylic nails).

And all the eba that you will eat in your lifetime will crawl and hide in those nails, what happened to the ones God gave you and are you really going to nurse your baby with your acrylic nails?

9. Thou shall not have daddy issues (victims of divorced parents and dysfunctional families … keep it to yourselves).

Really,!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! . What about if the guy comes from a dysfunctional family?

10. Thou shall not go without makeup (i.e. caked foundation, studio fix but ensure that the make up has a natural look which is purple lip liner, pink lip gloss and chocolate/natural eye shadows

Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. Spare me, no wonder some women wake up in the morning, looking like they came from the zoo. Please make up should not be the basis of you relationship, look good for him, remember he is still going to marry you and he will always wake up beside you in the morning staring at all the craw craw and pimples paradice on your face.

11. Thou shall not lack culinary skills. Perfect the art of egusi, ogbono and all variations of rice. Home Economics is in order

Perfect!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

12. Thou shall not be a "posh sturvs". Sushi or lasagne…uh ..Really?

Women need a little bit of sophistication once in a while. "Sushi or lasagna" Lol

13. Thou shall not knack ya head when you have a weave. Futhermore, on no account should you be caught scratching and flicking the condiments into thin air. That is simply DISGUSTING

Simply put, very disgusting.Your scalp must seriously need grease ifyou itch and falke, those are symptoms of a dry scalp. If you cannot maintain your hair then don't get a weave.

14. Thou shall not do any strange degrees, such as development, journalism or medical genetics. Ladies, stick to law, engineering, accounting, business or pharmacy.

Any major you have will land you a job as long as you have a degree and wait a minte, journalists make good money and also get to travel while you sit your ass at home and wish to go on a trip to the Bahamas and medical genetics is not strange,in the next ten yrs thats whats going to be running the world. Law, engineering business accounting, pharmacy. Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

15. Thou shall not have a sense of humour or try to even be funny (note: SARCASM IS A NO NO)

Please have a life, if he doesnt laugh,then thats too bad.Laugh hard and strong my dear till you choke.

16. Ultimately, thou shall not go past a first degree, maybe masters (PHD IS AN ABOMINATION)

Any man who does not like a focused and goal oriented woman is an abomination. Simply put.

17. If thou must study a masters, please please, remember to dumb down when hanging with his friends.

A woman with a Master's degree should a man's pride and if he is not proud of you or something then his friends must be losers just like him, you don't need men like that. Give me a break.

18. Thou shall not disclose too much of yourself. You will seem needy

Then what in the world are you doing in a relationship. You don't have to disclose yourself in a day, it make take a month, 6 months or a yr, it is a learning process.

19. Thou SHALL NOT have a sex life or sexual imagination prior to meeting him. Let him "teach" you.

He would have probably had sex with a thirteen year old before trying to sleep with your lying , two faced self, "let him teach you?" I laugh.

20. Thou shall not listen to anything other than r'n'b or hip hop (common is pushing it). All you World music and rock chicks, NOT HAPPENING MATE).

Everyone has a different taste in music, what happened to Fuji and the rest, he might be listening to that while you struggle with rock and roll.

21. Thou shall NOT be an independent woman. (all those "I can pay my own bills" bullshit… Basically , LONG TINS). Refer to commandment one!

Please, if you are not independent, then you are not ready to get married, no man needs liablity women.

22. Thou shall not be opinionated or well informed (WARNING: This might come off as intimidating. Besides, no one likes a miss know it all).

Please don't tell me you act dumb.

23. Thou shall not go to any obscure University. Please stick to University of London, Manchester Leicester, Nottingham, and Reading. (WARNING- YOU WILL END UP ALONE).

And what school did this so called man go to, University of>>>>>>>>>

24. Thou shall not be overly friendly. All those social butterflies and jovial. Personalities…BEWARE.

To catch a man's attention you have to be friendly at least, you should be pleasant in the long run, what's up with overly friendly?

25. Thou shall not be anti-social when it comes to his family. You have to GET IN THERE FULLY.
With the mother in law drama and all them in law sturves, i feel you.

26. Thou shall not explore any originality when it comes to fashion. Stick to T.M Lewin, Hawes&Curtis, pointies or kitten heels, and jeans – Abortion belt always puts the icing on the cake. To complete the look, don't be seen without your thick framed rectangular glasses (YOU SHOULD HAVE GONE TO SPECSAVERS).

Abortion belt, nice name for them hypertension causing belts, you should look chic and dress your age, not like them teenagers please.Their fashion age is daunting.

27. Thou shall not hunt in packs (warning to girls with bossom bodies that cant be separated

Thats right or some other woman will end up with your meat.

28. Thou shall NOT be loud. Keep your voice to a minimum always
Basic common sense.Why are you yelling anyway, he is not deaf

29. Thou shall not appear to be having too much fun on the dance floor. When it comes to dancing, keep it simple (Dutty winders and grinders, ITS NOT HAPPENING).
Enough said

30. Thou shall not think about breaking this next commandment. The ULTIMATE, IF NOT YOU ARE FINISHED....It Will be an OYO STATE (on you own) FOR YOU FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE.....LADIES PLEASE PLEASE AND PLEASE DO NOT GO TO THE BEDROOM WITH ANY WRAPPER, NIGHT SHIRT, WHITE TOP GEL OR SHELLY ON YOUR FACE. If you must Do all the above, LADIES, BURN THOSE GOLD AND BLACK HAIR NETS.

This is the funniest as in, i dig this one, get some Victoria Secrets or some Fredericks of Hollywood and set things in motion. Goodluck.

Self Control


I don't know who i can deal with better, a cheating boyfriend or one who has absolutely no self control. I don't understand why people cannot deal with their emotions. Early last week i had to deal with a friend of mine who had issues and just had no freaking self control.The little nice discussion ended nasty.And guess what apologies came later. Why do people not spare themselves the time of apologising later by just having a little self control?Emotions are very powerful but words are even more powerful.You can always say you are sorry for the things you do but you can never erase the things said. They become scars. Scars take time to heal. It could take days, weeks or months depending on the level of injury inflicted on the receiver's emotions.I was really shcoked to see the cute, handsome upcoming artist face public disapproval at his behavior. Alleged assault. Chris Brown and Rihanna, one of the celebirty couples have had their own share of Bobbi and Whitney moments and this time Chris decided to take his frustration or whatever was wrong with him at that moment out on her.I cannot judge his behavior because we all make mistakes but self control is essential in every relationship. Because of his lack of self control, he may lose Rihanna's friendship/love. He has lost his place with Wrigleys and now the public is begiining to see him as a beast. All this all because of one moment of madness. Poor Rihanna, i hope she wasn't beaten black and blue, Covergirl still needs her face on the cover of its magazine
