Thankz

Hope yall had a gr8 weekend
My weekend was fun filled.
I went bowling with some friends from church
and we had a good time.

I took notes 2 sundays ago but
I have not been able to share it with you all.
The sermon was about
"staying in your blessed place" = progression despite this recession.

I will find time to share it during this week.
I am still as busy as bee
but ready to launch O' Collectionz in May.

I urge yall to give thanks
I know things are rough at this point
I can tell because it is really rough for me but I am tough and will keep on going. I will keep on moving on. Yesterday's sermon was about praise/thanksgiving. They said it paves the way to blessings. I have chosen to continue to give thanks and praise despite this rough phase because I know it'll get me through. Join me in doing the same

Ten Ten + Fun Weekend

Hope yall had a blessed weekend
My weekend was simply beautiful
Friday was a girl friend's bday
so we went to the mongolian grille.



It was my first time
considering the fact that I don't eat out too often.
We had to make our own dish
add raw recipes + frozen stuffs together
for the cooks to grill.



Twas kinda weird at first
but it was fun afterwards.
The cooks or should i say "grill dudes"
were flipping swords and
performing all sort of stunts while cooking the food.



My sis and friend decided to goof around
with the frozen dish.
The food was so good...
I forgot to take pictures after it was cooked
We went bowling afterwards
and my fans could not wait to get me on the bowling alley.



The bowling shoes were big and ugly.
I was a bad bowler..... talk about horrible...
Of all the 20 people that went bowling,
I had the lowest score.
It was my first time sha and I managed to score 15.
Twas a fun weekend overall
----------------------------------------------------------------
Yall remember that game "ten ten"
I miss those days
when we played suwe, snakes n ladder,
boju boju et all

Nway I'm loving this song Ten Ten by Mohits
Check it out.

rantz

Pray for me peepz
A sistah knows she needs prayers
when the first thing she does in the morning
is strike a pose in front of the mirror.
"Mr" bought me that top by the way
I did the hair myself.
Yall like?

Thankful

Everyday is a day of thanksgiving
God's been so good to me;
everyday he's blessing me.

Everyday
is a day of thanksgiving
I glorify the lord today.

It dawned on me yesterday
that I was weaker than I ought to be.
RCCG North America declared a fast through out the
month of February.
I fasted for the first 7 days
and fell sick.
I had to stop because I was required
to eat and take medication at certain times.

I became well after a week and did not
continue my fast.
Since then, nothing's been the same.

I have not been able to go to the studio this year.
I moved from a house to an apartment
I've been gaining unnecessary weight
"Mr" just had emergency surgery and is not doing too good.
and ...........................and ...........

Last night, I had a dream
I don't recall it too well
but the mere thought makes me shiver.

I was with a friend
We walked down an aisle together
I was scared as we took every step
because bodies were lain on our left and right.

I stepped out of the aisle and gave thanks
I said God are you trying to tell me I have not been thankful
for being alive?
Are you trying to tell me
I am not praising you despite this trying phase?

I walked away and went to an uncompleted building..
with someone I didn'tt even know.
After a while, I found myself racing out of the building
only to end up stepping on an animal
that put holes in my leg.
I mean tiny, deep, thousands of holes.
It was gory!

I ran, ran, ran in pain until I woke up
I looked up and said haba baba
this is not fair.
You could have just sent someone
why a scary dream?

I guess God had to do it the hard way
because he knows I am a worshiper
and I have not been up to that name this year.
Without further ado, I say

"Lord I thank you
You said we should give thanks in every situation.
I give thanks for love and life in abundance.
I thank you for everything
because I know sorrow may last for the night
Joy comes in the morning.
I give thanks for the person reading this mssg
I really do give thanks
and I am sorry it took this long
for me to say thank you lord."

Happy V Day

Love is simply defined
by what it is...

The Wrong Package

A married lady was expecting a birthday gift from her husband.
For many months she had admired a beautiful diamond ring in a showroom, and knowing her husband could afford it, she told him that was all she wanted. As her birthday approached, this lady awaited signs that her husband had purchased the diamond ring...
Finally, on the morning of her birthday, her husband called her into his study room. Her husband told her how proud he was to have such a good wife, and told her how much he loved her.
He handed her a beautifully-wrapped gift box. Curious, the wife opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the wife's name embossed in gold.
Angrily, she raised her voice to her husband and said, 'With all your money
you give me a Bible? and stormed out of the house, leaving her husband.

Many years passed and the married lady was very successful in business. She
managed to settle for a more beautiful house and a wonderful family, but
realized her ex-husband was very old, and thought perhaps she should go
to visit him.
She had not seen him for many years.
But before she could make arrangements, she received a telegram telling her that her ex-husband had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to her. She needed to come back immediately and take care of things.

When she arrived at her ex-husband's house, sudden sadness and regret filled her heart. She began to search through her ex-husband's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as she had left it years ago.

With tears, she opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. Her ex-husband had carefully underlined a verse,
Matt 7:11, 'And if you, being
evil know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more shall your
Heavenly Father which is in heaven, give to those who ask Him?'

As she read those words, a tiny package dropped from the back of the Bible.
It had a diamond ring with her name engraved on it, the same diamond ring
which she saw at the showroom. On the tag was the date of her birth, and the words...'LUV U ALWAYS'....

How many times do we miss God's blessings because they are not packaged as we expected?

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

IF YOUR GIFT IS NOT PACKAGED THE
WAY YOU WANT IT, IT'S BECAUSE IT IS BETTER PACKAGED THE WAY IT IS!

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.

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.

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....

OLAMILD's encounter with Baba Adeboye

My body cannot contain the joy that I feel. My heart even feels like it's gonna explode any minute. With all the encounters i have had this weekend, I can truly say I am blessed and highly favored. Sometimes last week, I received an email from Pastor Olojo of RCCG MOTL that they were having a mid week program and the guest speaker was Pastor Pauline Walley (NY).

I glanced through it (which is unlike me) and went about my daily activity. It was a 2 day program and I missed the 1st day but pastor told my friend to call me and make sure i attend the 2nd day. I did and I have no regrets. To say I was blessed would be an understatement. I collaborated with a friend of mine to lead the praise/worship. The service went on for hours then my sis sent a text mssg saying she wanted to leave cause she was hungry. I'm like alright.

As we were about to leave, Pastor Pauline called us back and told us not to miss what God has in store for us. We stayed and prayed like say tomorrow no dey. The pastor prayed for every single person in the church and prophesied into our lives. Everything she said concerning me was true. Infact the first thing she said got me...

I went home with so much joy... as for my hungry sis, she had Mickey D's that night.

The next day (yesterday) was sunday and i woke up at exactly 5:17 a.m. I heeded to the instructions given the previous night and prayed. I got dressed for church; my friend picked me up cause we were many and we chose to ride in one car. Off we were to detroit! We went to RCCG Winner's Chapel. Baba G.O. - Pastor Adeboye was to minister.

For the first time in 10 years, I cried during worship. The city of detroit council presented an award to baba, and Pastor Adeniji (official RCCG winner's chapel pastor). Pastor Fadele ( RCCG North America Chairman), pastor ghandi ...were present as well.

When baba G.O. got on stage, hmmmmm i don't even know what to say. I am short of words. Words cannot explain what i felt. I recall when Baba came in 2004, i saw him but everything was blurry. I lost my glasses and i could not see a thing. I was determined to see baba close and personal because it took me another 4 years to see him again. I listened to every single thing he said, i recorded part of the prayers on my phone. They didn't want the cameras flashing everywhere.. I just took my cell phone out and took pictures.

Baba asked the people that wanted to give their life to christ to step forward, I thought about it twice. Baba said he will count 1 to 4 that we should not let the opportunity pass us by. I'm like i did that years ago but i guess i could do it again. I rushed to the altar and made sure i was standing right in front of baba. He prayed for all of us. He told us to write our names down and asked the ushers to give him the name. He then promised to pray for us everyday. My 32 was out.... i was rejoicing and recording the prayers and everything. I'm like baba will pray for moi everyday? chaiiiii I'm glad I came out o. LAst time I saw him was here in detroit 2004, now 2008 who knows if i wont see him until 2012?

Baba decreed words of prophesies and i grabbed everyone of it. I had all yall in prayers cause he told us to pray for whatever we wanted. I told God to meet my family, friends, and loved ones at the point of their need.

You fall into one of the category. Baba sealed our requests with decrees. When the service ended, we were to go on a boat cruise with BABA. That actually cost $200.

My friend and I rushed down to downtown detroit where we got on board. We made sure we got the front row seat. I took pictures, I recorded. I did everything i could. Even though the pictures on my phone turned out blurry cause the light on the high table was dimmed, I felt contented that i could at least look at the phone and pray.

The cruise was packed with anoiting. Baba just told us to relax and see the event as a family gathering. The choir led us in praise/worship, some upcoming artists rendered solos, choreographies, comedy, drama, and some did oriki ....

I cannot type anymore.. this weekend has been the best of all weekends. When the program ended, we had extra 30 mins to walk around the boat. It was then that I realized that we had actually cruised to Canada... I felt no regrets cause my attention was on baba G.O. and the anoiting i was going to tap.

People lined up on the high table and down the high table taking turns to sit where baba sat. My friend even rubbed his head on baba's sit as he was praying. One of the ushers literally dived on the table and snatch the glass of water that baba did not finish. Another man hid behind the table and finished up the yogurt parfait that baba left... him lick spoon self.

One pastor actually flew in all the way from 9ja to see baba. He said there was no way he could have gotten as close as he did to baba here in US if he was in 9ja. People came from US, and canada.....

ME ehn, I took a picture of baba's seat and baba himself because i was really close to him. I ran into an old friend and we started developing strategies wey we go take carry baba's chair comot for that boat...

The world didn't give it to me! This joy that i have !.....
In a nutshell, I had a blessed weekend with daddy G.O.

Gone till late july/August

Until then,

This particular one is the second half of the video we recorded.

READ MY FATHER'S DAY POST.

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!...

ANIMATED OLAMILD - PICTURE FROM YAHOOZE NIGHT

Celebrate his resurrection

You laid aside your majesty
You gave up everything for me
You suffered in the hands of those you have created
You took away my guilt and shame
When you died and rose again
Today you reign in heaven and on earth
I exalt you lord

I really want to worship you my lord
You've won my heart and now I'm yours
Forever and ever more
I will love you lord
Because you are the one who died for me
You gave your life to set me free
I lift my voice to you in adoration.

This is just how I feel right now...

chaii

The world must be coming to an end lol
