Love & More - Act 3

 

image borrowed from floralpetalsofwestchester.com


It was Kiity's birthday. And I started thinking.  

Now the Ijebu me was thinking of the phone we recently decided to buy and that it was enough for a birthday gift. It was a little struggle but then I realised we both decided to buy that phone and I could make a difference by still doing something thoughtful for Kiity. 

If I was to back-track a little bit. Kiity had always been the gift-giver. And like they say, you are prone to easily do what you would like to receive. I still recall one of my birthdays at MainOne in the Saka Tinubu office where I was keeping the whole birthday thing on a low-key. And then, came a gift box and some other items for me. This spoilt my low-key birthday spree as most people got to know it was my birthday. 

Now back to Kiity. I know she likes to have a special day. However, I don't think I really made her birthdays since 2017 special, till 2023 when we started having some timeouts. Maybe I am unable to recall but I recall two years ago. Kiity turned 34. The pictures below were taken at the Lekki Grandview Hotel.

4th March 2023

Dinner at the Lekki Grandview Hotel Restaurant


Then, it came to 2025. Having gotten the phone, I felt we didn't need to do anything. But then, I realized that there would not be another 4th March 2025. The day is special as Kiity was born this day and if in any way I can make it special, I should. Then the ideas started flooding in; Get a cake, Take her out, just take a walk, buy her something nice - maybe a watch, a dress....I had them playing through. But then, what did I do? It had to be a surprise. 

I checked online for a cake and got one with two wine bottles. That was it. I would make up my mind on the restaurant to visit. but then, as I walked home, something mentioned...candles. it had to be lit...I saw the picture in my mind...and I went for it. I made Kiity wake up to a cake with about 8 candles lit by her side with the wine bottles. And then, we went to the Royal san Kong in Amstelveen.


 

There are many days but there are some days that need to be celebrated. It is not about the days but about the people. It is about appreciating them for who they are, what they have done, what they continue to do and the last impact they leave on you. For Kiity, It is always making me a better Kunle.

A beautiful month in March. I always desire that you do better and shine better than you did in the past, even better than I do. I shine when you shine. 

Wishing you many more wonderful years baby. The best is yet to come!

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...
