5 is the lucky number...

5 things that I would like to do:

  1. Take a vacation to a foreign land with me, myself and I. I’d explore the destination, meet the locals and enjoy lots of me-time.
  2. Learn how to DJ. I’d really love to do this but I need to shadow someone first…any DJ’s wanna give a sister a lesson? I even have my DJ name already picked out. :-D
  3. Learn how to drive a stick shift. I started this, and got too impatient so I gave up.
  4. Move to New York City.
  5. Be a flight attendant in my second life.

5 things that I look forward to:

  1. Weekends.
  2. Getting my magazine subscriptions in the mail.
  3. Trips to the library.
  4. Any opportunity to shop.
  5. Any opportunity to travel.

5 things that I’d grab if my apartment caught fire:

  1. My passport.
  2. My blackberry.
  3. My laptop.
  4. My handbag; it’ll have most of my essentials.
  5. Can my closet count as one item? LOL!

5 random things about me:

  1. I know the numbers to my debit and credit cards offhand + my bank account # and routing # to one of my accounts. When I pay bills/place orders over the phone and online I recite from memory.
  2. I think I must be the only person on earth who doesn’t have a TV show. If it ain't CNN or shows that are already up onDemand i.e my new love of Dexter (Also watched the entire seasons of the Wire, Capadocia), then I don’t watch. When people rave about shows like Gossip girl, ER, House etc etc …I’m like ???
  3. If you haven’t guessed already, I’m a huge grammar Nazi. Ha Ha Ha!
  4. Who said sleep is for the weak? Sleeping is one of my favorite things to do.
  5. I HATE drinking water. I once went for weeks surviving on soda and juice. These days I make myself chug at least 1.5L of water on a daily basis to maintain my skin/healthy lifestyle. Ugh!

5 things that I’m wearing right now:

  1. Black floral print dress.
  2. Red pumps
  3. Bath & body works exotic coconut perfume. (Very yummy)
  4. Black wig :-D
  5. Purple bra. (Don’t side eye me…I ran out of ideas!)

There you have it. 5 things in a nutshell...My own meme! It's copy written. :-D
I tag whoever is in the mood to do a lazy post/just for fun post.

Random:
Black in America 2 was pretty good. Like I said after watching part 1, I didn't quite know what to expect but I definitely enjoyed watching yesterday's show. Steve Perry certainly impressed me...

Lady X said...

Haha!
I have thought about being a Flight Attendant as well. They recruit a lot over here and they even train you and everything. Who knows, I might do it if I'm feeling spontaneous!
And Dexter...That show is on point!

The Girl with the Red Hair said...

I use to dream of being a flight attendant but with all the crash, I sharply forggot it.

Nice read.

Unknown said...

I liked the Black in America 2 too.
And the Steve Perry guy was really really impressive. I admire what he is doing.
Who doesn't love sleeping?? I appreciate my free sleeping time....lol!!
I'd try and do this for FUN!! :D

TayneMent said...

fapped!

48 said...

Kate said...

Me too with the numbers!!

Unknown said...

beautiful template

Rita said...

Copyrighted meme! Nice one...
what makes u wamt to learn how to DJ?

Chomy said...

yes to moving to NYC....wanna do it next year???just dont come to my' hood.

yes to Dexter, am i psycho, so i can totally relate to him...:D

missed Black in America 2, becasue my mind was still suffering from the first one...(actually what am i saying i missed it because i was on Hulu.com catching up on the daily show. will on demand it and catch up before next episode.

Yes to you being a DJ then u can give me free VIP entries to whereever you are dj-ing

Yes to purple bra, because randomness should go beyond outerwear

Yes to the floral print, because lets face it it fools people into thinking you are sweet.

Yes to the red pumps....sex on heels much!!

weird to the number cramming....what is wrong wit you, spend that brain space storing more valuable info like CC's birthday gift registry code...get familiar!! if only ur craming came in handy when u were peeping expo at your GCE...(bam!!!)

yes to the travel bit, life is too short to spend it only in one place...go see the world, better than formal education.

YES to closets being one item, the reason i dont have roomates is becuase my clothees are my bff's...have one in different zipcodes and continents!!

what did i miss??

what did i miss?

Unknown said...

I'm so with you on the DJ thing and moving to New York. OK, scratch that... Moving to manhattan.

I'm also fussy about grammar (except you are JENIFA), but I always make the corrections in my head - ONLY! I no want wahala.

Drinking water! My self-destructive tendencies manifest themselves in my eating & drinking habits. Enough said.


I'm an anal-retentive guy when it comes to numbers - especially ones that are of no use (registration numbers of exams that I did a million years ago, friends matriculation numbers in school, phone numbers I've deleted, car plate numbers of people I don't even know, etc. If only I can remember my school work this easily.

I enjoyed this one. Well, don't I enjoy all your entries?! LOL!

Fabulo-la said...

LOL!
Leggy wetin I do u biko??
LMAO


A week without water????
WHOA!

Lolia said...

I'm prettu sure you wouldn't be able to grab your closet and run but I guess it would be worth a shot...

Meanwhile LOL @ the stick shift thing...I can't even be bothered...

Oh and I know my debit card number offhand toooooooo! :)))

chayomao said...

DJ beks,
i enjoyed this!

CIL said...

Oh yea... Move to the UK and you'll be forced to learn how to drive stick... Assuming u move to a "matchbox" like Cardiff

Writefreak said...

Oh i thought my hubby and i were weird...we love Dexter!

Olufunke said...

Interesting list!
We all would remember the copyright of this meme is yours

I can see you really love to trip and travel......as you would be a flight attendant in your next world :-)

Original Mgbeke said...

Leggy: Definitely a good show. It appeared that the black poor folk lived in the slummish areas and yep they only show the ajebo looking parts of SA. lol

Ms. O: Thankee. Glad you did. :-)

Yinks: You need to hop on the Dexter wagon. And *ahem*, my closet can be one item o. Teeheehee.

Tunrayo: Why can't it be? :-(

Doyin: I know you were a flight attendant. I'm Jelox! You should definitely try this meme soon...and true if my house catches fire I will be too busy freaking out to grab nada!

SassyTrends: Really? I'll have to look into this.

Qmoney: It certainly is a risky job. I heart Bath & Body...count me in for their semi annual sales. I stock up!

CIL: I definitely gosta look into this o. Yaaay I'm not the only weird one, people always give me strange looks when I say this.
Ok you are worse than me. LOL, no TV? I don't watch much TV but I gosta sleep with the TV on so a TV is essential in that aspect.

LadyX: Word? Lemme know if you do so I can get some free flight hookups. :-D
Gotta love Dex. I'm wrapping up season 2 tonight!

Red hair girl: Yeah men these crashes in the '09 are no joke! Thanks lady.

FaB: Do it! Do it! Do it! Yeah Steve Perry is the man. I'm going to CT to hail him. lol...Yay to sleep. Looking forward to some of that this weekend.

Taynement: Tiff, Tiff!

48: Tell me about it. I've been known to call into work that I'm gonna be 2 hrs late just to catch up on ZZzzzzs. So shameful, I know. lol

Kate: Yaay! Another wiardo...Ha Ha Ha.

Original Mgbeke said...

Tisha: Thanks lady!

Rita: I have no idea. I love music and I don't see too many female DJ's around. I think I'd do a good job and bring the fire to whatever occassion it is. How have you been? :-)

Culture my babe: Girrlll as soon as this recession lets up, I will be back on that job hunt. I wanna do it! And charraps, I'll be in your hood.
I love Dexter..LMAO. Serious issues. Black in America 2 wasn't bad at all...I think there will be a re-run on Saturday eve @ 8pm. If you're not out bubbling you can chekirrout. I see you feel me on a lot of steez *high five* but charraps again, number cramming rocks! LOL. And ohh no you didn't take it to GCE...lmaoooo. Craze chick!

Olu: We are a match made in some kind of heaven. LOL! Manhattan is my dream...own a loft in Manhattan but *ahem*, na BEANS? Unless I marry Donald Trump or somn. LOL
And duuuudeeee. My friend called me one day 'cos she was registering for an EZpass and forgot her license plate # and of course I knew it. I be remembering random numbers like that. In general, I have really good memory...
Thanks! When are YOU gonna start blogging? lol.

Fabo-la: I know right. Bad Mgbeks!

Lolia: Yay to one more weirdo. :-D
I would definitely try to uproot the entire closet and grab it. Ha Ha Ha!

Chayoma: Thanks ladyyy.

CIL: I usually learn well under pressure/when I have no other options. I guess I should move then. LOL

WriteFreak: I guess we are all weirdos. The show absolutely rocks.

Olufunke: Catching trips and traveling is lots of fun. I'm always looking for a way to get away.

LoloBloggs said...

Go for the lone traveller thing, best decision I ever made. 6 months 9 countries and me, myself and I.

Quite a neat meme ;-)

Nice Anon said...

I like the list you have put together. As much as I like the idea of going away somewhere I cannot help but think what if they kidnap you for dia?LOL Just kidding! Do it!

I look forward to weekends because they are theonly days i get to sleep in .. no 5.30am wake ups for me.

webround said...

recently i couldn't sleep and i ended up watching the complete season 4 of "the wire" on demand

put this in your diary - jan 17, 2010 you should watch the opening episode of '24'. that is a show you should not miss

grammar Nazi? more grammar Nazi's are needed

Unknown said...

Won't that be cool? You marry Donald, while I marry his gorgeous wife, after she has made a LOT of money from the VERY DIRTY divorce. LOL!
