Weekend with Tumbus and the Ilohs

Why do I find it hard or rather amusing that I do not listen to her? She tells me this and that and then at the end I find out that she was right. Not once, not twice. Even lost count. And it happens over and over. I'm not that bad anyway. I have listened sometime.

I had a wonderful weekend. Spent the Saturday bussing(I can use this here now- shebi I name my own blog, don't say wrong mentality o) through a section of the Lagos metropolis with kitty. Starting out on the Island to the mainland. My plan, see Tumi,Busayo and Azubuike. I did see them. It was fun. First was Busayo who was at home. I had called Tumi earlier. He had to work. And then Azubuike.
I spent a while talking with Busayo on the board interview he attended recently with the Sahara power folks. He was asked a question on Rankin cycle. A process the mechanical engineering guys talked about a lot while I was on training.
As we talked, a call came in. It was Azubuike. He had just woken up. His tooth ached. And he couldn't sleep anymore. He wanted something from him. And then he called me. I had called him earlier to inform him of my visit. I went to see him. I stayed with him a bit. Saw his wife for the first time since November when they got married. She's expecting (yippeee! Azu is gonna be a dad),  I did see the wedding pictures in a gorgeously packaged book +a big one that cost a lot no need saying the amount) and then back to the tooth, he pulled it out at the dentists'.

Did I say kitty came around....I didn't right?  She did. Was fun having her there. It was more like a reunion. A full one this time around. There was food too. Cooked by Dami. Spaghetti, chicken, beef stew and.....it was dun(sweet in Yoruba). They gave her the tag - olowoshibi which I eventually translated to spoon hand and they all laughed. They didn't tell me the meaning though but I could tell it meant someone that cooks well. Never mind me, I am from outskirts of the southwest, in fact from the north central self.

Now the part where I didn't listen...getting back home was something else(not telling)...I could have carried the mitsubishi but chose to use the bus. Kitty prefers we drive but sometimes I just want to bus it. I saw the need later though. It would have been stressless than it was. 
Another time when she told me about the timing we had. I felt we would do it in no time but turned out to be the way she said. And many more....
O'Kitty got home safe. Had to walk her to her street though. It was night. Didn't want my woman going alone at that time (lessons from Pastor Kingsley's LDM sermons). I did too.

Love & More - Act 1

Right from the first day I saw you, I was drawn to you. Not love at first sight, but an attraction that I still cherish today after 13 years.  I still remember the many walks we took when we started talking. My-o-my, I loved talking with you. I still do. Maybe I was listening more, now that I think of it. The one thing I recall was you made it easy to talk and thinking of the walks between White House (Engineering Building) and Computer science Building including other locations within the Obafemi Awolowo University community? Still cherish them. You have come to show me another part of life, completing me in areas I am not as strong. Still a journey for me but I cherish the process even though I sometimes react to the adjustments. I cherish the results though. I love it when you are happy. When you smile (even at my dry jokes). I love it when you excel at the things you do. formal and informal.  I appreciate your thoughtfulness to things. I guess it comes with you being so st...

Love & More - Act 2

 It has been a while we had the movie night. We have some history with movie nights I must say. From the times in Akure, Lagos and now, Amstelveen.  Whenever we watch, it exciting. I enjoyed the action movies and then the love ones. I enjoy all of it anyway cos we watch together. the taking it back so you understand better is not so fun for me sha..me i have moved on in cases like that.....but anyways, i agree with you.......better to understand the context. When did we start watching movies together?   Before we got married I guess. I guess this was in Lagos before I took the job with BEDC. Not sure if we watched any on our own or always with Bukky and Busayo. But anyways..the history was formed. Cinemas. one thing I loved about Igbatoro, Akure was the Filmhouse Cinemas at the Akure Mall.  and then those cozy evening when we did nothing but watch a move together. Do you always stay up when we watch? Now I have to write that you might stay up with the first movie but...

The Many Walks with Kiity

 Ever heard of the benefits of 30 minutes walk everyday?  I bet you have. Walking is a great way to improve or maintain our overall health. Just 30 minutes every make a change in your life. I took a walk for 1 hour once and I felt the effects. It was about 8km in all and I could feel my legs tingling when I finished. The next day, the muscles spoke and I was happy.  Kiity and I enjoy taking lots of walks. We did that a lot in Nigeria both individually and together. I enjoy it more when we do it together. Since we arrived the Netherlands in April this year, we have had several walks and I enjoy it more when we do it together.   Walking over a small bridge, De Poel, Amstelveen I decide to take walks for many reasons;  - To exercise. - To clear my head and away from the familiar - To see the environment and new places. - To breathe a different air. The most important is to talk. This is when I do it with Kiity. We have to talk about something as we go.  W...
