happy thanksgiving to all of you!!!! hope y'alls was as good as mine.

I am thankful for a lot of things. soo many things that if i begin to list them ....this one to turn to an infinity-type post. so i shall no list all of them... but there is a song i know...and i was just thinking about it yesterday when i was making up a list in my head of what i'm thankful for....
u kno how we always give thanks for the good things in our lives.... well i was giving thanks for all the so so enjoyment and good things in my life and i remembered that i need to give thanks for the lessons as weell...the bad times that have made me stronger...that make us all stronger....

a part of the song goes

"for every tear that had to fall from my eyes, and everyday i wondered how i'd get through the night, for every change life has thrown at me..... i'm thankful for every break in my heart...i'm grateful for every scar...some pages turned...some bridges burned ...but there were lessons learned"

and actually its true....i am thankful for evry change life has thrown at me...for every tear that had to fall from these eyes..... very very thankful... :)

today the woman (matchmaking mother) called and was talking about how her daughters were better than her friends daughter (who was also at the party)...and that my aunty should not even give any of my brothers the other girls number....that the other girl is rude...disrespectful and loose .... and the woman started asking about me for her son too oh!!...biko biko biko.... i no gree abeg...shuo....
