Domestic Disturbance

In the Sunday newspaper,  I read  a story as shocking as it was unbelievable. A man murdered his wife   for the stupidest reason ever.

reason for his action: she prepared him a local delicacy, when he wanted rice and stew.
mode of action: he went into his room, got out his rifle and shot her point blank despite pleas for her live.

After I read the story, I felt pity for this woman and her six children. but I cant help but wonder. this man had a history of abuse, insensitivity and Violence. why did she stay? for the sake of her children or for the love she felt for her man? what happens now she is dead? is life gonna be better?

Long-term

I searched out the word Long-Term on Thesaurus and it came back as Lasting, Long-standing, continuous, durable. so when something is Long-term it probably doesn't have an end or it will last so long the end is not in sight.

My friend's elder sister is in a long-term relationship, what does this mean? that she would be in a relationship all her life, never to get married or never to graduate to the next phase Marriage. considering that she has been in this relationship for quite a while now (16 years), and no other future seems to be in sight, I should say that her relationship is lasting, long-standing and durable. lol

In a movie I saw a longtime ago, it was a Long-term relationship that lasted eight (8) years and when it eventually ended both parties moved on and within six months both the man and lady were both married to other people. all to often we see people who dated for many years and then get married only and start having marital problems immediately. so i wonder, are some couples just meant to be long-term relationship couples? do they know from the start of the relationship that it would never amount to anything but long-term? if No at what point do you know that a relationship is just destined to be called long-term and not married. 

Maybe I am old school but ave always believed every girl is Cinderella and when she finds her prince, they get married not get into a long-term relationship. the distressing fact about Long-term relationship is that ladies suffer most from the breakup. in most parts of the country, a woman is considered an old maid if she is not married at a certain age, so by virtue of being past this age, her appeal is reduced and we all know the men of our time with being very persnickety.

My friend tells me that sometimes long-term relationships could results from both parties not being ready or the time not being right. REALLY! 16 years and the time aint right to step up? 

I speak for myself when I say Five (5) years with out a ring is a deal breaker for me.

whats your take on long-term relationships?

The Issue of Shoes

you know how annoying it is to see people wear same shirt as you are on the streets <freaking annoying> well same thing happens with the shoes and i absolutely refuse to match shoes, I mean a girl is got to draw the line some where.

so I went online searching for a site where I can buy shoes i wouldn't see anyone else wearing. look what i found by KOBI LEVI (all images via  http://kobilevidesign.blogspot.com/)

 

In The Closet? Yes

So am about to go visit my friend and am faced with the usual dilemma of finding what to wear. I love fashion but I swear it gets on my nerves sometimes, first you have to decide on style, then color scheme, length and fit arrrrh…..

The arrangement of my fashion pieces didn’t make it easier to find what I needed, so I had to disperse all the cloths in the front row to get to the cloths in the back row only to realize what I was looking for is in the mid section. <Frustrating>

 I soon realize that it’s not fashion but my closet. Does Kimora lee suffer same problems picking out cloths for the day? Nope or maybe,

This is my diary which hopefully my future “someone” is reading, so I am putting up pictures of closets that would officially take my breathe away and you know finding stuff easy

Whats Your Quarter

My pastor once asked this question in church, "whats your quarter?

 i bet a few minds already traveled to the bank. if yours haven't, stay with me..

There are four divisions of  people who live on earth.

• The Blessings: In this category we would see people like Mother Teresa of Calcutta, Nelson Mandela, Abraham, Missionaries and so many others. these are people whose actions have positively impacted so many lives and changed things for the better.  Noteworthy: the greatest of people did not wait till opportunity or luck presented itself to influence the world, neither did they wait for conditions to be perfect, when everything is perfect what need would there be  for a change, the time to act is now.

The Display Message

Messages that we could learn one or two things from, or you know laugh about.

 P.s. I was going to categorize but I'l just leave you t it.

Growing Pains

I vividly remember when I was younger and I could not get older fast enough, grown ups were so cool to me  going to parties, wearing cool cloths and  playing Boys II Men from a Walkman. little did i know all those were cover up. cos in reality growing up sulks sometimes  if you dnt believe me, then read this

•Friends start moving away...
- Either to college
- Or to go live abroad 
-Or go live with a spouse (Yuck!)

•Increased need to wear high heels: Okay this one is fun, when walking on tarred roads >Wink<

•Time to start getting involved in relationships only to break people’s hearts or have yours broken….we should just go back to the days when parents arranged marriages for us even before we reached puberty; as far as am concerned it worked for all generations who practiced it. Ofcos ur r free to think of my opinion as shallow.

Brain Teaser

A man is traveling with a Wolfe and two chickens, if he leaves the Wolfe alone with the chickens the Wolfe will eat the chickens. He comes to a river and needs to cross it, he finds a small boat that can carry only him and one animal, how does he get himself, the fox and two chickens across the river safely?

Brain Teasers

Yeah Yeah, Brain teasers are not part of the deal on MyPlayDiary, just like Nicki Minaj should not be the logo for a brain teaser post, but something about this picture makes me feel, figuring out what she's wearing would be more difficult than my brain teaser.
so lets see how smart really are...


You have 12 black socks and 12 white socks mixed up in a cupboard. You're up early in the morning and it's too dark to tell them apart. What's the least number of socks you need to take out (blindly) at once to be sure of having a matching pair?

45 things a lady wants from her man but would not ask for ... Part 2

Ave been told men are stubborn...that ₪o† withstanding am sure if they did see my "what women want" blog (the prequel), should have seen their comments. Well, like i said; them gentlemen are within d papa's crew these daiz. Still, am nice like that and will still give you all more pointers; it's only right 2 share knowledge when u've got some bagged up! My mama taught me so. That being said, 4 those broda's who have practiced on my previous post on d same subject, its time to graduate to d next level. Most men would say women are very complicated and others who understand the wiring of women would tell you differently. In truth, women are not so easy to please...yes. Yet very easy to please (shhh). A Paradox but true. Read on and you will catch my drift.

45 things a lady wants from her man but would not ask for ... Part 1

Well, in my observation it seems like real men left with d generation of our daddies. Either that or the brothers these days aren't well schooled, when it comes to "how to treat a gurl right". not that am complain'n coz i mean, 4 real...mine's an absolute gentleman...(ladies- stay clear)! Anyhoo, i decided 2 go a lil' old school myself to get some of them tricks on just how to handle a lady and any of you all reading this right now would have to admit; its a grey hat's touch (if u catch my meaning). So guys, if your short of these pointers,yo u need to put ur game face on, please that lady of yours and hit me back with a feedback because am super confident that if what you were doing previously wasn't doing the trick (what ever that is), these certainly will;

The Hand Bag Necessities

So my colleague asked me this morning why I had to carry such big handbags everyday, and I couldn’t help but wonder same thing. Am I carrying all this stuff because there is room?
...So I decided to make a mental inventory with justification for each item:

My cell phones: Seriously, do you expect me to wear pants with pockets bulging out from holding my cell phone? Nope! That’s certainly not a diva’s way.

what we can learn from Genevieve Nnaji

Dynamic: when it comes to energy, Genevieve definitely brings it. Thinking back on movies like sheron stone, dangerous sisters and a host of love movies she starred in, I do believe her lively persona aided her act in interpreting some of her characters.

Enough sisters!! no more dressing like a color chart off a paint catalogue.
Get out your writing pads and pens, we about to have a lecture.

Color is undeniably the signature of this season, and when well put together produces the effect of beautiful, fun, girl next door, sexy chic. color blocking simply means wearing different colors in one outfit. Wearing bold and bright Colors indicate Confidence.

DAD model

 ..so yesterday was Fathers day, I had a great time with my dad. The guy is awesome…yes I agree, your dad is awesome too. Our dads are,

I love how times have changed the relationships between fathers  and their children. From stories I have heard and books I have read, it used to be that fathers were more of family deity than family member. Now we have such cool dads who take us out to dinner, let us go to night parties with friends..or not,  let us hang out with boyfriends..absolutely not

Though it may seem that the dad duties are placed in a man's head by default, there are many kinds of dads out there just like there are different kinds of men

Be Happy

Happiness, the English dictionary defines as a feeling of pleasure, satisfaction and joy.

Happiness I define as a very important spice of life.

It is very easy to neglect one’s happiness in pursuit of other goals; I believe that one can only achieve maximum potential when truly happy. I hear lots of folks say “I produce better results under pressure” and my question is “for how long can you survive under such pressure” right after I ask them “why are you telling lies”

Iamsohappy

“People are often unreasonable and self-centered. Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of ulterior motives. Be kind anyway. 
If you are honest, people may cheat you. Be honest anyway.
If you find happiness, people may be jealous. Be happy anyway.
