27 THINGS ON MY "BEFORE I GET HITCHED" BUCKETLIST

I turned 27 on Tuesday (13th October) and the love was overwhelming! I can't thank you guys enough. I've been truly blessed with the most awesome lot ever! Just when i was already losing faith in our generation, some of you restored my faith. The bank account was smiling and so was i! You guys finally got the gifts right this year!..

So please, ahead of next year's birthday, i will gladly receive land papers, Cars, Oil blocs, amongst others and for you that isn't a Diezanillonaire, do not despair, you shall not be left out. I will be receiving spa vouchers, Jewelry,perfumes, watches, tickets to abroading places, Shoes (Size 41) and whatever your imagination comes up with or if you're too stumped to decide, feel free to credit my account GTB 01736**** holla at me for the rest.


And if you still cannot do any of these, just show kindness to each other. A smile here, a helping hand there, a listening ear, a little bit of patience, letting someone go in traffic, and if someone is kind to you, do pay it forward.

Anyways, i received an average of 50 calls on Tuesday and two-third of those calls were the "this time next year" kinda calls. ejo e cam down! I appreciate you guys looking out for me and all but you guys do realize there's a whole lot in the world to explore asides marriage yeah?

Well sha, i decide to share with you guys a couple of things that i'd love to do, (some of them already done) before i get hitched! Some of them you might relate/agree with, and others, you might not(eez nor your list, go and do your own)

1. Take a vacation with my BFFs; ALL of my friends (excluding none) are nutcases and i would LOVE to get outta town with them to disturb the peace and calm
2. Learn to Cook; I  know how to cook but i just don't like cooking. It isn't an activity i enjoy doing.. I see a steward in my marital life.
3. Face one of my biggest fears; I'm terribly afraid of heights so excuse me while shit  my pants before i go sky diving!

20. Learn to fight or take some martial art training: At the rate i look for trouble ehn, i should have been beaten a long time..So, lemme arm myself before they come for me. 
21. Volunteer. I'm not good with these things but i can try. If you have a volunteering gig, don't forget to holla at your gurl.
22. Try a new hobby: Definitely drawing! apparently, stick figures are not considered creative enough to win a cannes Lion... *cries in lack of creativity*

24. Keep a journal: I keep one but it isn't religiously updated.
25. Have a long conversation with a total stranger: This should be fun..
26. Do something crazy and spontaneous: This i do everyday of my life!
27. Get to know myself: Of all the points, this here is the most important for me because i have to come to the realization of who i am and what my purpose here on earth is!

However, when i eventually meet "The one"you would be the first to know but for now, Live, love and appreciate this beautiful chance at life that you've been gifted because "Ever man dies- but not every Man really lives -William Ross"
