For The Love Of Feem

Alrighty, so I wouldn't know if you all recall, but I did make some subtle hype a few posts back about an upcoming movie blog/website run by a couple of guy friends and myself (being the only female specie on board btw. Yes, I do take pride in that. Petty, I know)

Sodas 'N' Popcorn Hub. First started off as Sodas and Popcorn which was a simple movie 'conversational' review blog. But now we are going all in on the Nigerian movie industry, others being secondary.
Call it the IMDb of Nollywood.

We intend to go all out- re-brand, re-structure, re-ginger...well, you get the idea.

Enough talk. Just a few amateur sneak peeks as to what to expect. 
When we do go live, expect a whole lot more.

Movie Buffs, this one's for you. #ForTheLoveOfFeem

Mondo Bizarro

Mondo Bizarro- simply being extremely strange or weird. Well, it's actually an Italian phrase which means 'Weird World'.

So this is my current fave playlist and has been on replay for 2 days...most of them tracks (especially EDM mixes) that most people around me have no idea of their existence.
In other words, songs deemed a tad bit weird...



I'm sooo loving Can't Let Go- Leroy Styles ft. Neil Ormandy right now. Uhn!



I dunno, it just feels good being odd. Simply different from the basic expectations of my environment. And I kinda like that I get that 'look' quite a lot like, 'WTH is she listening to?


 I know right???!! LOL

The Foodie Diary- 25th April - 6th May, 2016

Seems like forever...I know.
Apologies. Been in a phase of some sort. Not writer's block. Just...a phase. No other way to put it really. But then...moving on...

You see the dates on the title? Cause I did eat 'big' EVERY single day from the very moment I landed in Dallas, Texas. By the first week I had visited about 8 fast food joints! My sister kept count. And I made sure I ALMOST knocked everything off my Foodie List. (Still don't get HOW I couldn't get Dunkin' Donuts crossed out. Boy, it still hurts...like deep.)



Yes. I meant business. (Plus I might have a hint of OCD...hence the list. No. I'm not crazy. Just weird.)

Of course! I had to make the most of my trip. Now that Trump might fit snugly into the Oval office of  the White House, who knows when next I will be able to go to obodo oyibo? (which in this case is Amrika-like my crazy friends like to call it).
These are trying times my dear friends. Make choices for the future of your well-being. This includes your belly.

Alrighty then. That being said, I won't say much more. Would just post the pictures. Let your imagination work its way through...

Note: I was too full to remember the names of all the meals. Hence, no food label tags.

Forgive me.






    



              A bold and dashing adventure is in your future' #MyVeryFirstFortuneCookie *grin*

命运的中国自助餐
Translation? 'Chinese buffet of destiny'. Who won't speak Chinese after this glorious experience? (I'm not so certain I got it right though. Blame Google *side eye*)
#Lin'sAsianBuffet








This was hands down the best burger I had. Plus I love the story behind Dan T. Cathy's beliefs. Made me want to order more chicken nuggets. Just saying... #Chick-Fil-A


 
My love for the International House of Pancakes knows no bounds. Once wasn't enough... #IHOP



My first drive-thru 'experience'...if I may call it that.
I can cross oceans for another cup of the yummy ice creamy sundae. Don't recall the name but the taste would forever be in my heart. *happy tear* #McDonald's


       

Had this for dinner, as a mid-night snack and for pre-breakfast. *burp*
#PizzaHut


Had no idea this fast food joint existed! Thanks to the cuz, I was introduced.
Longest hot dog yet #Sonic


      
THE best breakfast!! 'Nuff said. #Denny's




       
A chili dog from Burger King. No cliché here. #BurgerKing


       
The ham tasted a tad bit homemade. Jus the right texture in the right places... #Steak-One


       
Tex-Mex at the cinemas! The Mud Slide was absolutely everything. Urgh!
#JungleBook3D #StudioMovieGrill




Half and Half. The best of both worlds #SubWay



The dip was made in Sea Heaven. I'm sure of it #Joe'sCrabShack



One can never go wrong with waffles...and eggs...and grits...and a hot cup of choco.
The Southern feel was simply overwhelming.
#WaffleHouse


       
THIS was another fast food I had never heard of. And boy, am I glad I found out!
Plus it was a breakfast treat. I owe my friend for this one. xxx
#TheEgg&I


The Quesalupa? Not really. La Quesarito por otro lado? Si por favor!!
#TacoBell


Bowling rookie. Plus I had a rookie score to go with it. *sad face*
But with a glass of margarita in hand, I'm always good.
#PinStack


  
I had a real life Magnum for the first time and my head started spinning. I never felt more alive!
#SneakersIceCreamBar #BlueRibbonClassics #BreyersGelato #Magnum


A night in with the girls could never have been complete without edibles...of course.
#WalMart


Always 'tasted' the bitter feel of beers by just looking at them, even though I never had a bottle before.
But then, I was christened with no other than a #Budweiser
Not half as bad as I thought...


And with so much pain I bring thee to the end of my Foodie Vacay Experience tagged #TheFoodieMission
Oh trust me...I sure will do it again...and again...and again...

P.S: I did not add a single ounce to my body mass. Not prior to that. Not after. I give up. *straightface*

Music & Lyrics: Vol 4

I am quite the extremist. When I'm emotional, it's at its peak. And then sometimes I'm at the verge of bottling it all inside.
But this song does it for me. Makes me let lose even though it's been years ago since I listened to it. And my friend (for dayssss) rekindled that little flame again by 'reminding' me of it's existence...

That highlighted bit...the harmony and the words? *sigh*
That's what hooks are for anyway...


'The Promise' by Tracy Chapman

If you wait for me
Then I'll come for you
Although I've traveled far
I always hold a place for you in my heart

If you think of me
If you miss me once in awhile
Then I'll return to you
I'll return and fill that space in your heart

If you dream of me
Like I dream of you
In a place that's warm and dark
In a place where I can feel the beating of your heart

I've longed for you
And I have desired
To see your face your smile
To be with you wherever you are

[Hook]
Remembering
Your touch
Your kiss
Your warm embrace
I'll find my way back to you
Please say you'll be waiting 


Together again
It would feel so good to be
In your arms
Where all my journeys end
If you can make a promise
If it's one that you can keep
I vow to come for you
If you wait for me

And say you'll hold
A place for me
I in your heart.

Love truly is beautiful. It could be abused, mishandled, torn apart. But it still is...simply beautiful.

#WayBackWednesday- 'Hunk'ules

I really can't recall how many movies I watched on my 22 hour flight back to Lagos. But what I do recall was giggling as I recited lines (Hades' and Meg's though. Can't get enough of those) and singing along like a little child to every Disney's Hercules soundtrack in midair.

 



You know that feeling you get when you actually do remember every lyric of an almost 'forgotten' old Disney song without even trying? I know right? Hehe.

That being said, sing along with me people!! And well, quote along too *grins*
(P.S; You can follow the links for the full lyrics and more quotes.)




'Zero to Hero- Just like that!'



'For a true hero isn't measured by the size of his strength, but by the strength of his heart'- Zeus



'No chance, No way. I won't say it. No, no.
At least, out loud I won't say I'm in love.'


Panic; 'He's not gonna be happy when he gets outta there'
Pain: 'You mean 'if' he gets outta there.'
Panic: 'If? 'If is good.'

*both nod in agreement*



'That's Phil's boy!' :)

*sigh* Nostalgia. I want to be a kid again...just for a couple of weeks. Maybe months. Probably years. Or just until this Naija palava is over. Then maybe I will be ready to 'adult' again *side eye*
