Summer things 2.


Summer is definitely over. :(  I started classes today and as much as new classes excite me, I've not really  gotten myself out of the summer laziness. Even though classes started, the fact that Chicago's weather now suddenly requires me to wear a sweater when I leave my house is not very pleasant at all. Anyways I promised a bunch of more pictures so here are a lot of pictures, a few stories and hopefully they'll remove that frown from your faces and make you smile a little. 

Gosh, so the whole summer Tomi wanted to go to Dave and Busters and I promise you if you had never been there before, you would think they handed out 100 dollar bills there or something. So we finally decided to go after much convincing from Tomi. We sha had the eat and play combo but unfortunately for Tomi, after eating, yaaa that was that. We were too tired to play any games so we just went home. Tomi was not pleased. 







So we had this really busy day. I mean, I had 4 places that I had to be at between 2 and 10 and I only even made it to 4. My church had a picnic, then a wedding with a friend, one graduation party and another friends picnic. Unfortunately for you guys, there are no pictures from all these events, why you ask. Well I'm not so sure but the only picture that came out of that day was the one with this beautiful lady Dami and I met at the wedding. Like she was so pretty, well put together with her gele and to match shoe and bag so we just had to take a picture. She also introduced us to her hot son btw hehe. 

So my friend Moyo own this online magazine (http://www.edenlifemag.com/) <-- You should check it out and he also does some volunteer work in Chicago and some other stuff. Well we did some volunteer work at a shelter in Chicago, cooked, fed and prayed with them of course. I mean prayer is the best gift you can give anyone. Here are some photos.

Everyone with some of the people from the shelter. 
Simi, Tomi and Ruth
From L to R: Ruth, Moyo, Ife, Wale, Moi and Toyosi
I was at a "I love my natural hair" phase. Gosh my sister was so upset at me. It took me like an hour to get ready and another 45 minutes to find something to do to my hair. Ya they literally begged me to get a weave back in my head... 
Au natural. 
And a week and half later, I was back to the bob and Jummy showed me what eyeliner can do to my eyes. I fell in love :D 

Next was this wedding Jummy and I attended, It was a Friday or Saturday evening, no solid plans and Jummy had invited me for a wedding earlier that week so Friday came around and my braids were new so wedding it was. Of which Yabo and Tomi totally hooked me up on my braids, saved me $150 i would have had to pay a professional. 
Hot braids, simple makeup and my camera was messed up and that's where the blur came from. 
Yea one of bukky's random picture taking sprees again. 

 So bukky sends me a picture at 3 am in the morning, a picture of me from my birthday last year and she gets upset and calls me to insult me because I did not acknowledge the fact that I got the picture. At 3am guy, 3am.. Ya I know some crazy people but It is a beautiful picture though.
Photo-shopped by Bukky Fajs
Then dinner with the girls cos Tomi was leaving to move back to Nigeria :(
Tomi and I before we headed out

And my baby Nathan came to visit. Yes the little baby who's picture I posted in my last blog is now a big baby 2 months later.



Finally to end  the summer with a blast, one last picnic on labor day. sob sob. 
Teju and I
Me, Simi, Rhoda, Teju and Yabo
Jummy, Simi, Teju and Yabo

Awon hot babes

Im not sure what Simi was doing but ahem ya

I had a great summer, didn't travel anywhere, stayed in Chicago, went to summer school but I have great friends and my summer was the best ever. I do wish my other friends like the Seyi's were here with me but oh well, we have many more summers to come. :D

Summer things.

Sigh, for many of you summer ended two weeks ago but one of the perks of being in a trimester school is that we go back to school after labor day. Yipee Anyways since I have the sexy Iphone 4 which takes gorgeous pictures. I've decided to share some of my favorite pictures from the summer. Pictures I took, and pictures I came across and you'll get to see some of my favorite people. :D There are like soo many pictures because when you have friends like mine, there's too much fun out there to have so I split the post up into two.. I'll post the second and or third part tomorrow. Enjoy!!

I started the summer with my bob. It was one of those random days, headed downtown and had some cool fun (In the words on Vic O.) 


Bukky and I... Check out the pout

Also on the same day I came across the glasses I have on in the next picture... I absolutely fell in love and it cost me $5.95 from H&M. A cheap price for the simple pleasures of life. 



Church was also a big part of my summer, and It was soooo much fun. If I haven’t said this before, either via twitter, Facebook or wherever... I LOVE MY CHURCH. The people, environment and just the messages that are preached have helped me so much in understanding God and the Holy Spirit and so much more. Sha here's a picture of Jummy and I fooling around in church. 



Moved on from the bob to a pony tail, this lasted for a week and a half. My sister was not pleased at all. She feels I take advantage of her :( because I get my hair done for free. But you should know, she does a bad ass job on any head that sits on her chair lol. Yabo in case you don't know this is free advertisement :)


One week later.... 



On the same day.. Yabo acting goofy and Jummy in the back.



Several Pictures from Dami and Tomi's graduation. 



Between, Bukky is in love with her blackberry and probably would never get an IPhone but she constantly takes pictures on my phone. At least her actions say that the IPhone is a better phone even though she won't admit it. :p












Then my baby made a boo boo :( 
but got fixed :D


It's ok to wish you were related to us btw.. It really is. hehe

The one time I actually wore a bikini the entire summer.. 


Some Birthday party sha but these pictures of Bukky and Tomi are absolutely gorgeous. Taken with the Iphone of course






Jenny baby visited all the way from Ghana

Baby Nathan was born... I loveeeee this baby like I can't wait to be a part of his life and take him to soccer games and stuff.. I hope he approves of me putting this picture up on the web in the future sha. 

Ill end with a picture and a story lol.. Classy eh?
So I was downtown with Yabo, Bukky, Jummy, Tomi and maybe someone else who's name skips my mind right now and I saw this dress in forever 21. I loved it but not like loved it ohhh I want to wear it somewhere kinda loved it you get?.. Like you know how you love something but just cos it’s in the store not because you have a vision of where you'd like to wear it to.. Well I loved this dress so much, I didn’t want to leave it but I also didn’t want to buy it so I decided to take a picture in it hoping it would increase my love for it.. It didn’t, so I left it.. :( 
One of my friends also can't stop calling the dress a nightgown.. Yes he used the word night gown to describe the dress smh.. The people I know...

I hope you enjoyed the pictures… More to come!!!
