LOL @ doing like Bijoux. So if i jump into 3rd mainland bridge lagoon, will u follow? Clapper light switch sounds kinda cool, abeg if u find one, don't forget me. My temporary solution to that, is using a meter rule to flick the switch on/ off while still lying in bed. O gal, we gats to yarn for real. U know ur chef's assistant job u're doing now, do they need a replacement for next yr when u leave? I'm so interested o, please lemme know and gimme the necessary details and contacts. I'd e-mail/ call u or IM u by this weekend.
peer pressure is very powerful...you just never know lol.
as per the light switch...mine is way on the other side of the room, i'll probably need like a 3m long rule to get to it.
And call me whenever to talk about the job. How I got it is quite a long story which I shd be posting pretty soon.
LOL at Junior Hygiene Consultants - Havent we all? That seems to be the baptism of everyone working in the diaspora.
LOL at Clapper light switch amd a maid. Not asking for too much at all.
How to make money ehile you're asleep? Do let me in on that when u discover how. LOL
sure will...there are actually ways to do that(stocks, mutual funds, etc) but i'm thinking other less expensive/risky means...i'll holla when i discover how.
thanks for stopping by.
btw...have u been tagged?
Abbey, nice blog, I'm also an aspiring medical student. What's the name of the biotech company you wish you were CEO of? I have some experience in that field.
Cheers
well right now...it's one of the one's in cali(i guess that's where they all are) ;)
but have u worked for them before? i'm hoping to do some internships during my first summer in med school...we'll see if i'm still interested then.
thanks for stopping by.
thanks overwhelmed...i probably would have appreciated the notebook too but it was overhyped before I saw it so my expectations were too high. It was beautiful though.
and as for what not to wear...i thought of doing a set up with my friends where they videoed me for a month or so with all kind of fashion blunders and then sent it to clinton and stacey(?)...
Which one be this anonymity thing sef... we talk say talk abt ya sef u dey do anonymity again.
Na everybody like suya for this blogsville.No worry I dan dey make plans to import one hausa man come this side start suya joint... LOL
Nice answers ..take care dear
lol...seriously you will make money with that kind of plan.
But yeah as for the anonymity...na so we see am for now oh.
For real???? SNES??? I remember those from way back...along with Microgenius and Atari games....hmmm I guess childhood never really leaves one.
