100th Post

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy Me!

This is my 100th Post

It took me two whole years to achieve this.

Let's drink to that.

I want to thank you all for all the love and support. I want to (specially) thank those that posted my "Show me the way" banner at a particular point of the year.

Compliments of the season Folks! Jesus is the reason for the season. Let's not forget to give him thanks.

I am blessed to be a part of the "blogsville experience." It's been a long year with so many good memories...blogsville idol 08, 14th and serenity, and so on.

I am thankful this season. I am very grateful to God because I believe I am very close to my breakthrough. How do I know this with all the trials I'm facing? Despite my being unemployed for the past 6 months (yes o...and i try but yall don't know how bad the economy is in MI); God has been faithful in my life. I have the best family and friends that support me with words of wisdom. I have been able to cope financially because I saved for rainy days. Now I am thoroughly broke and beautiful. I give thanks still.

I give thanks because 5 of my cousins are visiting (from ATL) for xmas. I have not seen them in 2 years. I have not even seen the baby of the house at all.

I give thanks for my mother. Although we've had our share of troubles this year, she's been a backbone for me. She's supportive and loving; she's the best. That's mom in the midst of some of her friends.

I give thanks because I have a wonderful man in my life. A man that will do anything (including swim through a river filled with hungry crocodiles) to put a smile on my face. `Just thinking about how much he cares and loves me makes life worth living. Yall know the feeling now...all you need to have is that one person and it feels like you have the whole universe.

I give thanks for Olamild Entertainments. I have come a long way and i couldn't have done it on my own. It all started in summer 2007 and we've accomplished so much. View OLAMILD GALLERIA to see pictures from past events.

I give thanks for my younger siblings. They are clowns and they light up my world. They rep 9ja and the yoruba culture any day any time. Somehow they manage to know how I am feeling even when i don't say so. When i do feel down and look down, they gang up and tease me....saying stuffs like it is well o my sister, Mr. prince charming will ask 4 your hand in marriage by this time next week. How can i stay down after hearing such words? hahahah

I give thanks for all my friends. I give special thanks for my girl Nay Nay. I just thank God for standing by her because it's not easy to be a single parent. I recall when she called to say she was getting married... how i thought it was too soon and when she called to say she was getting a divorce + she's pregnant. I recal the baby shower...she just looked like she had a basket ball inside her blouse lol ...she didn't gain any weight. It was a very tough phase but I thank God for her life and that of her baby Jaydn. I thank God for being faithful and standing by her throughout the whole situation. Look at them today. I love my lil God son.

I give thanks for the numerous talents bestowed on me. I give thanks for the opportunity I have had this year. I give thanks for the Redeemed Christian Church of God all over Michigan; they've given me the opportunity to share my music and minister to youths at different occasions. I specially thank the mountain of the lord parish and winner's chapel. That's (pink) me with the RCCG winner's chapel choir at Flavor of Praise , an event hosted by RCCG MOTL.

I give thanks for Yoruba Youth Corporation. We started in july 2008 and we've accomplished so much in less than 6 months. Our cultural dancers are the best. Click image to see website.

I give thanks for this baby girl Pelumi. I have been known to love babies. I actually witnessed the birth of this girl and it was a blessed experience so to say. I was scared to death because i had the video camera and was told to record. At one point, I sat down and fan myself even though it was and is winter time. uhmmm now I'm scared of giving birth. I still love babies o and this is my newest god daughter. She's a month old now. Bad old me! Them tell me to babysit.. i dey take pictures for where she dey sleep..

Alicia keys' No one (Yoruba Version) will be out before this year runs out...stay tuned lol

I give thanks for my motherland Nigeria...I gats to rep 9ja all the time...especially on Independence day. This was oct 1, 2008. You can take the gurls outta bush but u can't take the bush outta them.

I give thanks for you. Yes you! I give thanks because you are alive to read this post. I thank you for being there. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year in advance. See you in 2009.

Question

It's a good day
A mighty good day
It is a good day to praise the lord

Happy New Month to you all
May new and great things never cease in your life.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
A friend and I were having a discussion
more like an argument
and it was never resolved.
I'd like to know your view on it.
How do you know you are addicted to something?
The topic was sex addict
Is a prostitute a sex addict?
We'd all agree that when someone does something
more than usually and uncontrollably, s/he is addicted to that thing.

If you think about sex more than often
and never actually do it
Should you be considered an addict?

If a lady sleeps around
is she a slut or an addict?

Solution???

Many of us have fallen victim to sexual abuse during childhood.

Some of us are having problems in our relationships now
because we refused to address the past.
It's not easy to talk about but we have to try.
There is no moving forward
when you are holding on to pain from the past.
You cannot enjoy a new relationship
when you are holding on to what your former partner did to you.
You might not see what the future holds for you
when the past still controls you.
SPEAK UP about what you have been through.
SPEAK UP about rape
SPEAK UP about abuse

It's your first step to recovery........

Still Sick

Even worse as of now...
`been battling sleepless nightz
due to cough, cold, and migraine.
I have used 3 different medicines
aboniki, hot chocolate... you name it
and i am still feeling dead.

Please pray for me o.
I have to sing at a friend's wedding next weekend
I cannot do it feeling like this.
Check out the couple's website by the way.

I declare VICTORY over sickness in jesus name.

Olamild's new demo

`Caught a cold
`Couldn't sing too well
but that didn't stop me from hitting the studio.
Abraham my piano teacher
came to my rescue

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The song is not done yet but i couldn't wait to share the demo
with my online family.
I will re-do it when i regain my voice o.

P.S: Anybody got robb? or chinese balm?
cold wan kill me o.

Give You More

Showing my love will be faithful

Proving my heart won't change

Giving You more than the day before

For no day will be the same

Giving You time of substance

Maintaining the place that you dwell in

Deeper than the ocean floor

I never want us to end

I wanna give You more

I wanna share my life with You

More than money can pay for

Allow me to give You more

I have so much to say

The day that I see You face to face

More than an army can fight for

Allow me to give You more

Paying attention to detail

Letting no praise go unspoken

Joy streaming from heart to heart

That they may never be broken

Giving my mind, body, and soul

To show You how much I am grateful

To have and hold You close to me

That I may never be alone

****chorus***

Like a tree is to a leaf

You are what I need to breathe

Words can't explain the affection that I have for You

I wanna be what brings to You A smile on Your face

Because You're gettin more from my heart

More from my soul each day,

each day

****chorus***

`Just felt I should share this song by J Moss.

It's my latest inspiration.

Have a blessed week and rock the vote....

Question

Should men of God
divorce and remarry?

So..so confused

Just two days ago,
I went to my aunt's place
You remember Master C?
I chilled with him and D don for a while.
When it was time for me to go to my evening class,
Master C told me I couldn't go that he had a gift for me
I'm like hmm what's it gonna be this time?
the shrek doll u got from Mickey D?
the kung fu panda toy u got from chuck e cheese?
or the transformers toy mama got you?

He just smiled and went upstairs
He heard me slam the door and he goes
"Aunty OLAMILDDDDDDD! I know you're not leaving
when I told you not to"
"I'm right here boo, I was just closing the door to prevent
the flies from coming in." I replied.
He came downstairs with his hands behind his back
He looked at me and said
" I know I give you a lot of trouble
but you've been good to me
and I thought I should give you this."

He handed me a book.
I looked at the title and it said Praying for purpose for women
a prayer experience that will change your life forever.
I didn't bother to ask him how he got it
I could not smile, I could not cry
I just didn't know how to react
I was astonished. I hugged him and left.
I raced to my car and I shook in fear.
I asked myself when was the last time I really prayed?
I use to be the one that prayed all the time

I use to be the one that talked to God
about everything
I mean everything... one time I asked God how come I don't have hips?
I said God why big thighs? why not hips? abi i no deserve figure 8...
that just gives u a clue about how I open up to God.

It dawned on me
I had gone through so much in the past couple of months
Instead of me to run to God and seek comfort, help
I run away from him
I go about singing praises to him
and helping others
when I'm the one who really needs help

I am an aspiring Law student (Corporate Law to be precise)
I have switched courses like crazy
WHY?
My dreams differ from that of my parents
and OLAMILD is supposed to do whatever they say
After all , many Nigerian parents use her as an example for their kid
She leads the church choir
She sings at weddings, birthdays, anniversaries
She's respectful
She's a yoruba lady and respect is the most important thing in the culture.
They told her to go to school to be a Pharmacist
She chose Law, which is her passion
She started off taking pharmacy pre-requisites but it just wasn't for her
In anytime they are going to find out
what she has done
and all hell will break loose.

The last thing I want is for people to change
their views about me
but I have to live for me.
That's what sparkle says
stop thinking about what people say
follow your heart.

`Just got out of an 8 yrs relationship
and God knows I need prayers.
I need it more than anything.
In the past couple of months,
I have written close to 5 songs that I have done nothing with
I just sing it in my head, in my car and just forget it.
I have been running away from what I need the most = PRAYERS

It's sad
but it's very encouraging
that God just used a 5 yr old (Yes, Master C is 5 now)
to tell me that he is still there
ready to help me.
All he asks is that I put my hand in his hands
and let him have his way.

PRAY 4 me pleaseeeeeeeee.....

A love meant to last

I was there
when Nathan Bridges
took Elizabeth Titi Ajayi
as a wife
to love,
to hold,
to cherish,
until eternity.

I had fun o. chaiiiiii if i no dance until 2015, i think I'll be good cause I danced as if tomorrow no dey.

I will add pictures HERE very soon.

Olamild Mother's Day

PICTURE: Mum in the middle dancing with some of her friends.... I guess u can tell they were dancing to Yinka Aiyefele's song.

This is the day that the lord has made
I will rejoice and be glad in it.
Today is my mother's birthday
and it is 6 days to my birthday.

Olamild presents Yoruba Youth Corporation

You know most of us are far from home
Some have lost their culture
Some don't even recall who they are or where they are from
Yoruba Youth Corporation was founded by 3 yorubas in Michigan
2 of my guy friends and I.
Our aim is to showcase the yoruba culture to young yorubas,
to share the yoruba heritage with all foreigners with interest,
and to introduce yoruba language as a foreign course in junior colleges.

Our Luncheon Ceremony will be held on the 26th of July, 2008.
We will showcase activities like fashion show, cultural dance,
yoruba poems etcetera. We have the unstoppable Motivational speaker
Temidayo Israel coming from UK.
You are invited to come watch, learn, and help us achieve our goals.

SPEAK UP

And since we all came from a woman
Got our name from a woman
and our game from a woman
I wonder why we take from our women
Why we rape our women,
do we hate our women?
I think it's time to kill for our women
Time to heal our women,
be real to our women

PS: This month's looking busy... will update asap. until then

Yahooze Nite

Admission Fee: $20
Event was held this friday (May 23) @ southfield, MI and I was present.

Alabi Pasuma Wonder, one some of yall know from the yahooze album was the star of the night. Pasuma is the king of fuji in 9ja as many yorubas would know. Chaiiii wetin my eyes see that night ehn, my mouth no fit tok am.

The crowd was mixed so we had the old and young showing some love. I was expecting the youngsters to appear in "hoochie" attire (excuse my lang). To my surprise, the older women were the ones that ......kaiii I will not complete that sentence. You ask why? wetin I find go there? Me I went there to do business o and have fun sha make i take truth...however, I was busy distributing flyers for an upcoming event which I will share with yall in my next post.

The setting was really nice though, they had a little lounge on the side with pepper soup, assorted meats, jollof rice, u know the likes... a caterer was there to sell and serve the meal. It was like a food bar. Party didn't start until 12 a.m. even though the flyer said 9 p.m. We listened to Yinka Aiyefele's music until pasuma arrived. My family friend was the photographer and I was chilling with him when paso (as I call him) arrived. Kia kia trust me o as him dey take picture, I was like Paso come o how u go come MI no con take picshure with MI queen? ....

Anyway, the event started off smooth. After 30 mins or so, people started walking up to the stage to dance and spray money...What's with 9ja men and butt shaking aka "poppin' booty" ? Isn't that a female's job?... I couldn't help but laugh at some dance moves. 9ja women 4 michigan do something that nite o... I reserve my comments. My friend and I went up to the stage at a point to spray money in order for him to promote our upcoming event. He did a pretty good job with that and we have been receiving positive feedback since then.

U know fuji musicians are perceived to be razz in 9ja but I beg to differ. Do not judge all based on one person's lyrics. I must admit that everything was pretty decent. The lyrics were not perverted in any way and whooooo na everyone dance fuji yahooze that nite o. I actually like pasuma in comparison to other fuji stars. He stands out to me because he's mingling pretty good and he seems to be more open-minded than others. Did I mention looks? He looks pretty good for his age... infact he looks good period.

I know I am going back and forth, please bear with me cause I am feeling sleepy now. I had fun and I displayed my fuji skillz that night. I was just there doing my own thing jejely when someone just jumps behind me and started grinding on me. Ki lo fe fa gbogbo nonsense yen no? (wetin cause this yawa?)... that's what I thought and I turned around to see this old uncle dressed like a youngster. I didn't know him but I was disappointed. He did not take his eyes off me that night, he even sent 3 people to come talk to me. I had to tell one of my older friends to help me beg him to stay away cause I was not feeling comfortable with him stalking & staring at me on the dance floor. After carrying out my research, I was told that the man attend young people's party while dressed like a young person. His aim is to get a girl/one night stand at every party he attends.

I could not help but wonder if he was married. What if his wife & kids were home thinking daddy was working overnight?...hmmm anyway I HAD FUN and I got a lil creative with one of my picture. I will share more pictures as they come... Until then, Happy Viewing.....

Is it me or do I look devilish in this next foto? joblessness + creativity!...
