Light A Candle

I gues you'll agree with me that this has been one hell of a year. It started out so well, rolled on so well and its ending so perfect. When this year started for me, i had a few friends in Blogville. I think i had about 5 people on my 'Blogs I Read' list. But just look at the list now. Everyday i added a new friend. I want to thank you all for this spending this year with me. Being there everyday to know how i was fending. Thank you for sharing all your trials and tribulations with all of us. Thank you very much to some of you who showed me that i wasn't walking this earth alone. This has been a tremendous year for me. See me now! I'm still smiling to its ending.

''It's here again. It's that time of year. We're so far apart. That it's breaking my heart. Just to know you won't be here. But I won't cry. I didn't ask why...''
This is a verse from Smokie's Light A Candle. I want all of you to light a candle for everyone of us...on Christmas Eve..

Solomonsydelle I thank the Lord for leading you to me page. Its been gr8 knowing you. You've been an inspiration to me. Having a family like that. A family so loving. I wanna have something like that. I remember how we used to talk about protecting our children. I remember how T.K hid in one of the cabinets, eating uncooked oatmeal, and you and his uncle thought he had disappeared to a place nobody knew. I remember the day he was playing with your Rosemary flower pot in the garden. I remember T.E singing along 'sexy girl' from your SOCA CD. Istill remember her as the enforcer. I love how she's gonna help you with the boys. I remember how Bomboy tried to play with the plug-in air freshener at your neighbours..lol..and how he gave you that conieving smile..hahahah..and it clicked on you where you saw that kinda smile. Its been gr8 knowing your kids.
A candle lit message to you: Each task of everyday life is part of the total harmony of the universe.

30+ Ha! You? you think you are older than me abih? I toldu gimme 3 years. 3 solid years! I'll be your age ooo! Its been great knowing you too. You donno how i felt the day i saw you on my page.

Pamela Girlfriend, where do i start? I been feeling like i'm one person with you. You been more like a sister than just a mere fellow-blogger. I remember how you tagged me on random weird things, which havent even written even now. I remember how that anonymous guy messed up your comment page just bcoz of me. And i'm still saying that i'm sorry about that. Wow! And i remember how Eddiie made you and i feel special in Blogville by dedicating that song to us. I remember a lot of things. I remember how you started your work on radio. Oh God! I thank you for this girl. And you are doing a gr8 job. I remember how i tagged you on the 30 Days of Thankfulness. I remember the day Eddiie, Gerald and i helped you move to house number 222, next to the 2 boys. I loved that day. It was full of fun. I remember how you wanted to take Eddiie away from me the day you moved next to his house. I remember how we fought and Gerald came to creat peace between us. I remember how we laughed about it, and hugged, and went for ice-cream. I love you Pam...am i crying?..no..its just a single teardrop.

Dolly You been the best poet Blogville has ever had. And to me you been another inspiration. I wanna write poems as good as yours one day. Even though i havent seen you for a while now, i still have memories of some of your poems in my head. Some of which i've copied and dedicated to some people dear to me. I'm sorry i'm telling you now. I know plagiarism
is not allowed even in Blogville. But Dolly..your poems...

Sparkle Hey Yetunde? How do i even start remembering you?**smiles**. Yeah girl the first thing i remember about you is your ear. And how you ended up cutting short your hair. And how Olamild was crying everyday coz you were hurting.Its been gr8 knowing you. I remember you, Manda and i used to always be ready in case Diary updated, coz we always wanted to be first on his new post. I remember how i once found you and him, all alone in my house while i wasnt there. I remember how i asked you what you two were doing alone in my house, and you dropped down your head, and how Diary went to the bathroom. You still havent told me what you were doing with him that night. I remember the story you wrote after you got an email, somebody asking you to write something on that. It was so gr8. So creative. You are one hell of a girl, a friend and more of a sister. My candle message to you: We are gifted in a unique and important way. It is our privilege and our adventure to discover our own special light.

Ozaveshe LOL...look at this one. Don't mind me. I won't say much about you. I still know what you did last summer, but mark my word, i won't say anything. Lol..i remember what you got on your birthday, which of course i missed. 29 calls, 3 text messages, 3 emails, 1 facebook greeting, 5 birthday cards, a bottle of groundnut, a cake, and a pair of socks. I remember how you complained about all that,but to me that was too much to ask for. I remember how you became an uncle sometime in April. I hope your nephew grown now, and that you've taught him wisdom as to mankind and things he's supposed to do and not do as a man. Yeah you smiling, i know, its allowed. Its been gr8 knowing you too this year..

Life Of A Stranger, Omosewa, Catwalq Stuck On My Throat Believer, Diamond Hawk, Ms. Emmotions, Lady A, Queen, Lurlar, Bugbemi: You guys brought xmas too early for me this year. I donno if saying thank you is goinno be enuff. Seeing you on my page bring a gr8 honour because i rate you people as one of the best bloggers i've ever known. I'm really gr8ful. I promise to always be on your back. All the way. Just like we do in Blogville. The team spirit will always be there. Will never change. I love you guys.

Ubong Da Blogville's Sex Maniac! I've never seen any post on your blog where you don't talk about your sexcapades. The one that has always been on my mind is the one where one girl came to pick you up and she came with a friend in a two seater car. And that other girl had to seat on your lap coz there wasn't enuff space in the car, and how the two of you had sex while your friend was driving! I remember how you used to fantasize about laying your female boss, and you finally did! Now you understand why i don't post comments on your blog right? The truth- i feel horny when reading your blog posts. And i don't like it! Lol...you've been a friend and a brother. And i'm gr8ful.

Diary Of A G What do i start with? Okay **hugs**. At one point you nearly portrade Ubong Da's character, but with time i gues you regreted some of your sexacapades that you stopped telling us about those. Ehen, i remember how you were with one girl at their house, in their balcony, and the mother came, and how you nearly fell and broke every bone in you..hahaha..that was some movie exee! I remember one wedding you attended and the pictures you shared with us. They were so breathtaking. I remember your time with her(you know who), but thats irrelevent for this post. Especially that we are all happy the year has ended. Oh yes, i remember you and Sparkle. How the two of you were in my house. I remember how you told me she was the one you had that dream about, and how you asked me not to tell anyone. Not even her! I'm not telling anyone ooo! I'm speaking to you alone right now. LOL... And i remember your grandma. I hope she's fine now. I remember every road we walked together in Blogville. Its been gr8. You have been an awesome guy. My candle lit question to you is that: What is something you would love to do for someone at some point but you haven't yet?

Gerald My boy, you've been one of a kind. Blogville's number 1 Journalist. That post about how you lost your baby sister was so touching. I still get my eyes soaked when i think about what you went thru. Especially at the hospital when your family was told that she was gone. But i'm glad you pulled thru, and i hope your family did too. Glad too that you were too courageuos to share that with us. I'd found a brother in you. A candle lit message for you: A man can do only what a man can do. But if he does that each day, he can sleep at night and do it again the next day.

Ugo Daniels Hahahahah..this boy! You been one hell of a boy, du know that? I love you and Nkem. I was looking forward to the first ever wedding to take place in Blogville, between bloggers. But..mehnn..things don't always go the way we want. And i'm glad you shared with us everything you were going thru. And i'm also glad that we been able to help you pull thru. I remember how i accused you of being gay, i'm sorry. Still am. I know how you felt, coz i went thru that too. Ehen, i remember your night out with that white gal you met at some restuarant. The beach night out. And how you two made out away from the people who also came to the beach party. I promised you i'm gonna tell your mum. And i remember the night you were at a friend's house. and his girlfriend was also there. The three of you watching t.v. Them sitting together on a couch, and you sitting there by yourself. I remember how you said you were praying that they shouldn't start anything funny, coz if they did, you were gonna join them...lol..you been a gr8 brother. And i have this to say to you: Let us plant dates, even though we, who plant them, will never eat them, we must live by the love of what we will never see.

Rayo In this smallest time i've known you, to me seems like i've known you my entire life. I remember how you shared with us your first visit to the strip club, and how Ugo Dee inspired you to write that one up. And i remember how you even ended up meeting and making friends at the club..LOL..that was some rib-cracking story you told there. Its been gr8 fun knowing you..

Olamild Sparkle's other exact copy! I wonder if you two are twin sisters or one is older than the other one. You've been an inspiration. Your muzic is gonna go places further than where your eyes can see. Your voice is gonna call on to those who can't even hear. The best story i remember you writting is the one where you talked about spending much time withone's family. I shud have been going Cape Town this christmas, but your story changed all my plans. So i'm gonna spend time with my family this festive. I also loved the one you wrote about ermmm..something to do with my cup of coffee, and you had a picture of a baby on a palm, which i thought was a coffee grain. That story was inspiring ooo! My candle lit message to you: Success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm.

Feather I loved your saying that 'one day i wanna see myself writting across the moon'..wow! I loved that. Really. Your poems are touching. They are soul searching. They are soul soothing. Just what some of us need in Blogville. I love you girl...

Anonymous girl All i can say to you is that: When nobody speaks your name, or even knows it, you who knows it, must be the first to speak. You been one girl i'll forever be gr8ful for knowing you.

Eddiie My boy, you been there for me all they way. I remember the first time i saw you on my page. I didn't read the comment you left but went straight to your page. I loved you blog then, i remember the template was that of a note book. I love it. I remember the song you dedicated to Pam and i. I felt special then. I still do. Thank you very much for the christmas cards you sent this morning. For me and the family. I remember how you 1st emailed me and then i saw your number on your email signature. And then i tried the number, it went thru. I remember that when i said my first word, and i toldu who i was, your phone cut. Later you rturned the call, and told me how you panicked, how you were shaking such that your phone fell and scattered into pieces. I remember how you told me you cudn't believe it was me who called. Yeah..it happens all the time..lol..you know thats a joke right? I'm the one who panicked!..lol..but seriously it was gr8 knowing you, and it was gr8 talking to you. And i'm sorry i didn't sms back last nite coz i think i was fast asleep. You candle lit message: If some things were different, other things would be otherwise.**wink**

Princesa You? You know what i'm goinno say right? I'mstill craving for the day i'll put my hands on Desperate C ooo! Biko, next time you see me where you are, please i beg of you show me that girl ooo! I want to give to her what you shud've given her that time she toldu to stay indoors, just coz you beautiful! Was it your fault that you are beautiful? Is it still your fault? Girl..thanks for knowing you and me.

Izzonline The number 1 midwife in South Africa. Anyone who might be pregnant in Blogville, abeg, don't worry, we have our very own Midwife here. Israel, i remember the day you delivered your own baby at your house! That was some awesome thing mehnn! How is the lil girl now? Does she know daddy is the one who brought her in? Wow! I cant wait for the day she'll start blogging about it.

Oracle Like all the poets in Blogville, you are one of the best! I mean it. Yeah i do remember how your grandma looks cute with a wig on..lol.. You got one hell of a dish of a grandma right there you know? please promise to keep them poems rolling even in the next year. Your message for end of year: I had the blues because i had no shoes untill upon the street i met a man who had no feet.

Boorishmale Its been long i know. But i still do remember you and Vera I donno if there was anything going on, but the last time i was there, you guys were fighting, and you never came back to tell me what the fight was all about. I remember it was after Vera came back from her 3 months sabat leave. But still..i love your blog. Thats for real.

UnNaked Soul Ilove how you write some words. Like unNaked, unFaithful, UnNecessary...its sooo creative. The mind is at work. I remember how one of my stories inspired one of yours. Thsi is the team spirit of Blogville i'm talking about. Where one's own writting inspires another. Its like one big family, where a brother helps another brother, where a sister stands in for another sister. Its been gr8 knowing you.

Ibo Dude Even though i haven't been to your blog as i used to, i know you there and i pray to God you are achieving what planned for. I still can't believe that,that girl you once talked unpolitely about, with your friends, is the very same girl you are going to marry. That was some confession you made there..lol..

Bighead and Writefreak You two are awesome writters i've ever came across. I wish to one day be able to write exactly like that two of you does. You two as well have been an inspiration to me.

Not forgetting my Ugandan friend Moments Like This and you Nigerian Obinwanne Knowing you meant adding you to list of blogs i read, and also getting to know more about you and your cultures. I hope we'll be doing the same thing next year. Take care of you.

Eloquent Expression I'm writting this to you cos i wanna show you that i don't have any hard feelings. I still regret the day i knew and met you. If i had known you were that kinda person, i would've done what i did with you. Now biko, please i wanna have a peaceful 2008. Can you please do that. In giving me my peace you'll also be doing yourself justice and giving yourself some peace. I hated the day you started shitting on Pamela's blog just coz i didn't publish your comments. That was some shit you were doing! The truth is..i don't really remember anything about you. But i have this little candle lit message for you: Attitudes are contagious. Are yours worth catching?

Afrobabe Oh Yeah...babe girl. I wouldn't forget you for anything. I hope you are still on your sabatical leave ooo! Or you've shagged someone already? Lol..you know what i remember about you? That midnight some neighbours disturbed your sleep, remember? Lol..you killed me when you said, ''nonsense people!''..i'm still laughing even when writting this..lol. I have a candle lit message for you: The best way to secure future happiness is to be as happy as is rightfully possible today.**wink**

Perfect Stranger..lol..why are you looking at me like that? So many things i remember about you...so many. A candle lit message for you: If it were not for hope, the heart would break.

This is the longest post i've ever written. I hope i've included everyone on my list of blogs i read. If I hadn't please remind me. This is my last post of this kinda, because i don't think next year this time, i'll be able to write a post like this one, as the list will be endless..well so i hope. But as i said, its been one hell of a year, knowing all of you. I'm not gonna say much, just come back all of you and lets keep Blogville team spirit rolling again. I don't wanna say this, but i know i have to: Merry Xmas everyone! and a Happy 2008!

Smokie continues..''And when the bells are ringing, And Christmas is bringing, A magic that fills the air, You'll be a wonderful sight, On a cold Christmas night, And I know, I'll be there, with you, with you, Christmas with you..But I'll be strong, It won't be long, So just light a candle for me, On Christmas Eve...''

Not Yet A Woman


When a GIRL is quiet ... millions of things are running in her mind.
When a GIRL is not arguing ... she is thinking deeply.
When a GIRL looks at u with eyes full of questions ... she is wondering how long you will be around.
When a GIRL answers " I'm fine " after a few seconds ... she is not at all fine.

When a GIRL stares at you ... she is wondering why you are lying.
When a GIRL lays on your chest ... she is wishing for you to be hers forever.
When a GIRL wants to see you everyday... she wants to be pampered.
When a GIRL says " I love you " ... she means it.
When a GIRL says " I miss you " ... no one in this world can miss you more than that.

Life only comes around once make sure u spend it with the right person .... Find a guy ... who calls you beautiful instead of hot.
who calls you back when you hang up on him.
who will stay awake just to watch you sleep.
Wait for the guy who ... kisses your forehead.
Who wants to show you off to the world when you are in your sweats.
Who holds your hand in front of his friends.
Who is constantly reminding you of how much he cares about you and how lucky he is to have you.
Who turns to his friends and says, " That's her!! "
