The Lunch Club *finally!*

Soooooo I've been searching for a way to commune with fellow foodies (and possibly some hotties) like myself here in Lagos and not just my grubby 'colleague-turned-friend' Bukola (count yourself lucky your name is being mentioned here. When you become famous remember where it all began...)

Where was I? Yes. Foodies. Commune. Lagos.

Eat.Drink.Lagos happens to be an online food review blog focused on restaurants here in Lagos (I actually followed their lead in picking a spot for my birthday dinner..and my choice from the menu was well worth it. Bukky might not say the same. She pretty much ordered mere vitamins for dinner that night*sigh*) and apparently they started a Lunch Club!



Trust me, I subscribed asap. I'm sure I am way behind schedule but then, better late than never...


Unfortunately, I can't be a part of this weekend's shindig cause I'm as broke as ever *side-eye* Patiently waiting for pay-day.



But then the next hangout which is more like an 'All-You-Can-Eat-In-One-Week-But-In-One-Day' Food Festival comes up in December. See more details below :)

                                   Instagram: @eat.drink.lagos

You hear that sound? That's my belly singing the 'Hallelujah' song already. Mmmmhmmmm.
This had better be good...


And joining y'all had better be one of the best decisions of my life. I'm counting on you!

P.S: Thanks to Eat.Drink.Lagos (again) Bukky and I have decided to have brunch at BurgersAndShakes and Nosa (one of the reviewers) happens to work not too far from the area! 
So we plan on stalking him for a minute or two...or maybe not....or maybe. We haven't decided yet...

Its A Boy! And A Girl!!

The cargoes have landed yo! The cargoes have landed!!!  *shaking my non-existent booty*

Ok. I bet the mothers will give me that side-eye like 'Nuh uh. My baby ain't no cargo!'
Oh come on! I kid I kid. Taking it back.

Pretty sure y'all have an idea of what I'm talking about by now.
I'm an aunt (biological and adopted) once again! Whoopdidooooo!

Apparently, my big sis and 'big-sis' happened to be so in sync they were preggers at the same time. Even had a 'twin' baby shower planned for both of 'em themed, The 'Koya' Babies' Shower.

Of course I would explain how the 'Koya' came about:
My sis is Mrs Nnenna FaKOYA-Smith and the adopted sis is Mrs Queen-Anne IfeKOYA

Don't ask me how they did it. The odds were probably in their favor...
And just a little detail to their twinning story, Nnenna had a girl and Queenie had a boy! Super cute!

Yep. When it comes to babies (and food of course) my mushiness has no boundaries.
No shame in that people. No shame

There they are...pre-baby 'roundness' otherwise termed 'robo-robo' *big grin*


Mrs FaKOYA-Smith (32 wks) and Mrs IfeKOYA (33 wks) :)

I'm so hiring +red19photography for my pre-wedding/maternity photoshoot.
Nah...I'm not getting married. Not yet. There has to be a groom for there to be a wedding...right?
And then comes the babies...

The #rePlay Series: ePisode 5

'And we danced all night to the best song ever!!!!' *doing the running man*

So One Direction has never been my cup of tea. I ALWAYS 'bump' into their hits or videos and whichever catches my fancy I take my time out to give it a listen. In this case, it was the vid...

Otherwise...Nah! I can't be bothered really. Boy bands aren't my thing anymore not since The Backstreet Boys *shrugs*

Android. As Simple As ABC

Eureka!
I just made an awesome discovery about say...15 minutes ago

Being an all-time foodie, I've always been interested in knowing the next name for Android's software updates. It makes me imagine how they come together and decide on what food tag to give the newest software at the time.
So I happen to be in the office where of course there is WiFi and the automatic Android software update picks up on my phone.
Then I just thought to check on the Android website and see what's new.

Call me 'lastma' (for those who don't know, that means 'the last person to hear or know about something everyone already knows about') but did you know the software names are alphabetical?
Pretty cool huh?

So it starts from the letter 'D' which is the Donut all the way to the most recent one which is 'M' for Marshmallow.

I took the time to take screenshots of each of 'em (I had fun doing it too. Oh, the things that make me happy *sigh*)

'D'- Donut
                                                                  

'E'- Eclair


'F'- Froyo


'G'- Gingerbread


'H'- Honeycomb


'I'- Ice Cream Sandwich


'J'- JellyBean


'K'- KitKat


'L'- Lollipop


'M'- Marshmallow


Urgh! I could just gobble all of them off the screen. They look so yummy!

Hmm...perhaps I'd develop a list for 'N' - 'Z' ... 'P' would def be Pizza *licks lips*

Arlo Day :)

Leighton Meester. Always loved her raw talent since I watched her play Blair Waldorf in the Gossip Girl series. She probably was the main reason I followed it till the grand finale cause boy were they going off track on the script...
She is pretty much my #WomanCrush (not excluding Nse Ikpe Etim though. LOVE her!)

So imagine my 'excitement' when I happened to browse through her page on Wikipedia...


4th of August. That's MY birthday!!!
I was like 'Awwwwwwww'

I know, I know. I'm weird. Like who cares right? But its no 'coincidence' trust me. I do believe we have a bond *straightface*
If only that bond could link to my bank account and wardrobe as well...

Music & Lyrics: Vol 2



Sara. Bareilles

(Gravity)






No matter what I say or do
I still feel you here till the moment I'm gone







                                                            
You hold me without touch
And you keep me without chains
                                                     


You loved me cause I'm fragile
When I thought that I was strong...but












                                                  <Chorus>

Here I am and I stand, so tall
Just the way I'm supposed be
But you're on to me... all over me


<Hook...gets me EVERYtime>
I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're
Everything I think I need here on the ground














                                                                                   Something always brings me back to you...
                                                                                                                   It never takes too long


The track of one of my best So You Think You Can Dance routines yet...

Black Mass 'Blackout'

I honestly cannot believe myself.
After months of waiting ever so patiently for something only to not experience it exactly the way you imagined it.

I frigging dozed off not once...not twice..not even three times while I watched my lover, Johnny Depp (yeah, we've been together since his Jack Sparrow days) at the movies! I felt like I betrayed him *sad face*

*sigh* That's it. The world certainly is coming to an end.

Wait, wait...hold up!
Don't get me wrong. It's not like it was a boring piece. My, was I craving to see Johnny in a whole different role for 'once'. Was I simply craving to just SEE my hunny's face on the big screen after quite a long time. But fatigue has a way of rubbing off on your senses. Never underestimate the power of being at the back seat, cuddled up in a shawl in a chilly hall and soooo dang tired after a long day at work...and in traffic as usual.

Therefore, I have made it a conscious plan to see Black Mass again. Not in the cinemas this time. We all know there are other means to this end. (Don't want to get sanctioned by the Internet police)



Dear Johnny;

You do know I love you right? This was not personal, trust me.
I would certainly make it up to you babe.

Till then
xoxooooo

*Call me crazy...crazy in love. Don't judge me*

Oh yeah! How could i forget?
A couple of cool dudes and my humble self run a movie review blog called Sodas and Popcorn (get it?).
Be a peach and check it out when you get the chance: Sodas And Popcorn


Adios!
