my waist bead
so i finally got a waist bead yesterday. i had always had one before i left Nigeria, but my made me remove it before i left. actually i lived among yorubas who always made their little girls wear ileke idi( waist beads) and i had always liked to have one round my waist. i have no single idea what it is used for, some say its for making your butts grow bigger, well i wasn't really thinking of doing that, just thought it would be fun to ave an accessory round my waist since i am the queen of accessories.lol.
so how did i get and lose my waist bead. i had a friend who studied in kaduna and always came around on holidays, so during her sisters wedding( few months before i left Nigeria, was still very young then) while we were dressing up and stuffs, i saw she had like a lot round her waist, so i asked her if she could hook me up wit some. So like a week after, she gave me like 4 and i happily put it round my waist, she got green and red colors for me.. ohh boy was i happy. i never allowed my parents to see it. i remember guys used to make fun of me that i already had big butts and i was making it worse by wearing a waist bead.
a week before i left nigeria i was siting with my mum gisting and watchn a movie, as the movie ended i got up to remove the disk and bent down, alas she saw my waist bead and screamed
mum: caramel, kiloshi to wa ni idi e yen( whats that rubbish round your waist)
caramel: ohh maryam gave me as a gift
mum: b4 i close my eyes, remove that nonsense from your waist... are you a prostitute.
mehn it wasnt funny, seh even asked me to get scissors and she removed it herself and threw it away. it was so sad. anyways i left naija and sometimes the memory of it would come back.
so last week i was chatting with one of my male online buddies, he asked me if i had extra piercings and i was like nope!! then he went ahead and asked if i had a waist bead or if i ever had one, that he noticed my big butts and he really finds it sexy round a girl.. i told him the story and i remembered i had actually seen something in the store that looked like it. so yesterday i got three and they all went round, I'm so happy with it again. woahh.. at least mumsi isnt here to call me a prostitute or even if she sees it, i doubt she would say anything. I'm getting 4 more by weekend.. cant wait to rock them by summer..lol
weight loss
so i finally notice changes around my thighs, pants i wear now seem loose and even my cheeks have started reducing. I went to the gym yesterday and worked out for close to 2 hrs. My fitness instructor is so cute..lol.. mehn those his abs are killer abs. i havent recorded what i ate in my food diary to calculate the amount of calories i had and burned. but heres a breakdown of what i ate yesterday- break-fast: oatmeal, low fat milk and sweetners. 1 half apple.
- snack: i ate the other half apple
- lunch: boiled chicken and stir fried mixed veggies
- snack:1 mango shake
- dinner: two loaves of white whole wheat bread.
- consumed more than a liter of water.
3x thursdays # 1
remember to leave a comment at the comment section. thats it for now guys.. have a great day..mwahh1. As an adult, do you feel the same about holiday's off from work versus the way you felt when you got them off for school? How so/how not?
2. What about birthdays? Do you view them differently now as you get older? Why/why not?
3. New releases: Remember how psyched you were when you heard that your favorite band was coming out with a new album on a certain date? Do you still feel that same kind of excitement now? Why/why not?
dont forget to come around tomorrow for TGIF where i would be sharing albums, songs, recipes and of course the weekly friday meme. and please invite more people to visit. XxXxxxx

lol @ the waist bead story
I think ur mum and mine are from the same place. she screams at anklets too so i ended up not wearing them.
1)i always think school holidays were pretty long but inow i know better. wish we can have such holidays at work. I am always looking forward to national holidays, stike, etc.
2)birthdays.... get scared when i enter a new year. it simply means darkelcee.... agba ti de o (you don dey old) Was always looking forward to birthdays then but i dont anymore.
3)i dont bloody have the time again. if i hear on the radio by mistake then good luck to the artist and i.
1. I don't think I feel as excited as I did when I was younger.
2. I have never been big on birthdays so the feeling is pretty much the same.
3. Nah I don't feel the excitment anymore.
Where is all the excitment in my life.
I think what rattles my bones is SEX. I get excited by my preparation for it let alone the act itself.
your mother and mine are total opposite. so strange,when i used to wear waist beads my mum was always the one buying them for me.cute pink and white ones,pink and red ones..those things wear fun to rock,i could wear like 10 at once.
can't answer #1..i'm just 19,no job..yet.
#2.i think i'm less psyched about the birthday gan gan but still excited about the age increase
#3.i've never been able to like any artist enough to know when their album drops.
1) I would love long holidays from work if it was a paid vacation.
2)I get kinda excited when my birthday is comng up cuz its in January but its sad cuz while others are anticipating their bdays throughout the rest of the year, mine already passed.
3) I dont get excited abt artist anymore. I just wait for them to play it on the radio
I have been trying to get the waist beads but i dont know where to get them from
