Letter to my friends

Dear Friends,
I hope you are all doing very well, if so doxology,lol!
The main purpose of my writing this letter is to let you know that I will be off blogging for some time. I am not leaving blogville or abandoning you my darlings. I am only going to be busy with some other stuff that won’t allow me to blog for a while. It may take a week or two or even more but I’ll definitely be back.
However, even though I may not be blogging. I’ll still be very visible at your ends.
Love you all. HAPPY EASTER!
*Hugs*
Princesa.

Lenten Appraisal


In 17 days, it’d be Easter and this year’s Lenten season would be over.
The Lenten season began exactly 1 month ago(February 6th) with the ash Wednesday celebrations.
Today I sit back to take stock of how good/bad I have been this lent.
Before the Lenten season began, I had PLANS, lots of plans on what and what I’d do. You know how the season is meant for us to retreat into ourselves, mortify our flesh through fasting and other forms of denial and try to amend our life in line with the word of God.
So like I said earlier I had made plans. Stuff I was going to do and stuff I wouldn’t do. Some of my ‘To do’ plans were-

Cut down on blogging
Attend week day masses(I am catholic) at least 2ce every week.
Fast 6-12(Yea…yea…I no fit do the marathon 6-6,lol!)at least 3ce every week
Pray the rosary at least once a week
Do the Stations of the cross prayer at least once a week
Go to confession and confess all those my bad bad behaviours,lol!
Receive communion at least 2ce a week
Keep God’s temple(my body of cos!) holy meaning nothing like kissing or touchery not to talk of the main do-SEX!

And some of the ‘Not to do’ plans:
No too much ‘Goodtime’ (you know…too much having fun) this period
Partying is out of it!
Too much of ( I wonder…how do one rate ‘too much’??) ‘TFC’, Tantalizers, Chicken republic, Barcelos, all the nice chop chop places sha is not allowed.

So the question now is how have I fared??
Very bad, I think.
Let’s take ‘em one by one.

Cut down on Blogging
So the Idea was- no staying back after work to read blogs, comment, whatever! But sadly, it’s like I read even more blogs this periods. Sometimes I am through with work for the day around 5pm but instead of making like a good girl and packing my ‘ngwongwo’(load) to head for church(the original plan…remember?). I’d say “Just one more blog…God pleaseeeeeeeeeeee! And the next thing, I’ll find myself staying on till it gets too late to go to church. My bad BAD…I know. Really from now on if any of you sees me on ur blog again at odd hours(lol), chase me out with koboko o!(yea right!)

Attend week day masses at least 2ce every week
If you take the fact that out of the 30 or so days already gone in this lent season, yours truly has only attended weekday mass TWICE… am sure you’ll join me to say I failed woefully! Kai…I dey shame for myself…seriously! I admit that though some of the times I have had to work(yea…real work) late, the major culprit for this has been BLOGGING… God save me!


Fast 6-12 at least 3ce every week
On this one, I no fit shout o! You guys want the truth?? Okay here goes…I haven’t fasted for even one day!(God must be so mad at me really)
Sometimes I hardly even remember. I start eating and then suddenly it clicks-“you’re supposed to be fasting girl!’ Only then it’s too late as some of the food done reach destination already.
My boss even remarked one day “I thought catholics also fast during lent” lol! I felt so ashamed and replied “Yea…but am not feeling too well, I have to eat before I fall down”(lol! Do we include lying to my list of sins now?), I doff my hat for my oga(boss) sha, the man has been doing marathon 6am-6pm fasting everyday. I guess if going to heaven depended on how well one could fast, the man for done get room and parlour for there tey tey,lol!) Okay…I digress. The truth is that princesa hasn’t fasted at all this Lenten season and something has to done to remedy the situation… innit??

Pray the rosary/ Do the Stations of the cross prayer at least once a week
*uncheck*
I have failed woefully in this regard again. Can’t remember the last time I held a rosary in these hands. Na rily wa for me sha! Stations of the cross nko?? Na person wey dey go church go do dat one and me na BAD church goer(We’ve established that already na).

Go to confession
I must confess am still carrying my sins around and the weight(of the sins) is not a small matter o! E heavy well well my people. Haven’t downloaded them on a priest yet. Seriously now…I need to go to confession asap! Maybe this weekend.

Receive communion at least 2ce a week
I haven’t gone for confession yet and I can’t receive communion until I do so I guess its *uncheck* for this too. Note to self: You’ve got to hurry up with the confession girl.

Keep God’s temple holy
I have avoided situations that could make me fail this and I daresay I have succeeded with the no kissing/touchery/Sex part. However I have done certain things(am not telling!) that may make it impossible for me to wholly claim that I have followed the plan to the letter. “Forgive me Lord”.

No too much ‘Goodtime’/Partying/Hanging out
Now this, I have contravened seriously.
Just weeks back, this babe was at the Naija facebook beach party and yours truly rocked real hard! Well, that’s like the only party I have been to this lent so I guess its not too bad(yeah…right...who am i kidding!).
On ‘hanging out’, I have also done a lot of that. It’s not a bad thing, don’t get me wrong plzzzz, just that in the spirit of the season I should be engaging less in pleasurable stuff.

Am sure you’all will agree with me now when I say I have not been a ‘very good’ girl this lent. Oh well….its never too late to make amends right? As my people say-“a problem identified is a problem half solved” (I just made that up,lol!)
I have to start making serious efforts to get into God’s good books. I still got 17 days…thank God!

Ps: Thanks to everyone who dropped by my brother’s wedding website and signed their guestbook. You guys are simply Fab!

Bloggerversary




















Let’s clink glasses.
It’s my first bloggerversary!
Feb 2007-Feb 2008
One whole year of posting blogs, reading blogs and sharing experiences
One whole year of fun
Blogging is hardwork and addictive but it’s still fun.
Joining this wonderful community of beautiful writers is one thing I don’t regret.
A lot of great people I have met here. Lovely friends I have made too
People I probably would never have met if I hadn’t discovered blogville.
Before Blogville, I never used to spend much time on the internet.
When I did, it was usually on fashion websites- browsing the latest season collections (Am no fashion junkie o…just have plans of having my own fashion label in future).
Or on my Yahoo 360 page
And when I wanted to amuse myself with the numerous toasters and their latest toastin lyrics, I’d go to Myspace
Now, I can’t remember the last time I checked any of those sites
Sometimes I even forget I need to check my mails
Yahoo 360 and Myspace people must be wondering what happened to me.
Am practically forever on blogspot these days.
Afrobabe’s, Carlang’s, Allied’s…..
Too many blogs to read
And too little time to read them…Ha!!!
Each day my romance with blogspot only waxes stronger
We still hooked together like stamp and letter
I remember how it all started…

I had met this nice dude on skype
Okay I forgot to mention I also spent some time skyping.
Found out that we went to the same university
And we had a few friends in common too
I rarely logged on to skype
But whenever I did, we were sure to chat
One day while chatting
He sent me a link with the words: “Check out my blog….”
So I clicked and was transported to bloggerland
He had just done a post on his late father then
A very sweet and touching post
I read and left a comment
Just as I was about to close the page window
At the top, I saw this icon that read: ‘next blog’
So I clicked and I found myself on another blog
But this time a strange one; some white lady’s blog,
I read on all the same but I didn’t leave any comment.
Clicked ‘next blog’ a couple more times
Reading all sorts of random blogs
And then I saw the other one
The ‘create blog’ sign
I tapped my mouse…Click…
And I had a blog!
So I did a post…my very first post- I don come o!
And then I buzzed my skype friend to let him know I just created a blog
Did I mention that my skype friend was
Anibodude?
Yea he was my blog Godfather
I gave him the link, he visited my blog and left a comment
He wouldn’t visit again for months…bad God father,lol!
Oh well, probably wasn’t all his fault sha,
Me…blog-owner wasn’t even serious about my blog then
You see I already had a blog on Yahoo 360
And I put down stuff there once in a while
So it was that whenever I posted something there
I’d copy and post on my new blog
One thing that bothered me though was…
Comments! Where were the comments?!
Silly me…JJC(Johny just come)
I didn’t know I was supposed to visit other blogs
And post comments so others would find me too
I also didn’t know any other naija blogger except Anibodude
And he didn’t have any blog link on his page
He had just recently started blogging then
And didn’t know too many bloggers so I don’t blame him.
Alas, one day, he did a post
Where he had the links of two naija bloggers
Everyonelovesanaijagirl and Chidi
Where are those two are now?!?! Anyone know??
Anyway I checked out their blogs
Read almost all their posts
Interesting posts they were
Then I saw the list
It was on Chidi’s blog
A long list of blogs…
Calabargal, Ugodaniels, Azuka ….
Endless!!!
Click, Click, Click
Blog after Blog
I read and read and read for hours on end
Not a few comments I dropped too.
The next time I checked out my blog
5 comments!!! I was so glad!
That’s not a mean feat these days, abi?
They were lovely encouraging comments.
Calabargal, UgoD,
Sparkle, Chidi, Everyonelovesanaijagal, Excitedjade
I thank you guys for the love and support you gave.
So I fell more in love with my new hobby
I got better at posting and reading posts
I changed my name from princess to princesa
Not prisca or princessa
Neither pricesca nor porincesa
Just short and simple princesa.


81 posts, 4,582 profile views and some aliases
Madam blogger my brother calls me
Fantasyqueen says it’s Blog celeb
I am having fun here…am sure you all can tell
No crazy anon can drive me out of blogville!

Here’s to many more years of blogging.
Cheers guys!

Naija Bloggers Party Update

Happy new week everyone! I promised an update on the Naija Bloggers Party which is why I am posting this update. Actually this morning is very busy for me but I just had to create time to do this short post before peeps like afrobabe go strip for me here o!,lol!

The party was not a party in the sense of you know dancing, boogying and all that. I’d rather call it a ‘get together over drinks thingy’. I had suggested we hung out at the beach but most peeps didn’t buy the idea(so I was told)and so we had to settle for the bar thing.
Anyway, It was still great to meet and chat with fellow bloggers. Even though we hadn’t met prior to the party, some bloggers already feel like family to me and it was cool to finally put a face to some of them. There was unnaked soul(shy guy), manda(ol’ pal), obi (blog phantom), writefreak, favoured girl, Tayo, Fantasy queen, dscribe, dscribe’s sister(also a blogger but I forgot her name), Omohemi, jaycee, che-e-ly, Babs and who else(cant remember any more). Overwhelmed naija babe, laspapi and simplynuttie came later after I had left but we spoke over the phone.

Of note is the fact that most bloggers I met are really very good looking, nice, open and friendly.

Sorry I have to stop here. I said I was going to make this short remember? So enjoy the pics guys (Some bloggers want to remain anonymous and i had to respect their wishes so i didnt tag the pics). And afro…nobody shagged anyone(at least at the party venue) and with the cost of their drinks there I doubt if anyone got drunk(I left to early to know anyway).

Be good you all.
