Hi booskies. I've got a confession to make. This is not really a post. On second thoughts, maybe it is. It'll come as a surprise to some of you to see me post blogs on two consecutive days (especially in the face of my impending exams) but when you're done reading this post you'll understand why.
As some of you know, (well now u know anyway) I own and run a fashion line, AYABA, so it came as no surprise...actually it did! It was such a huge surprise that it got my stomach doing cartwheels when an entertainment program on TV contacted me about doing an interview. I was thrilled to say the least.
Plans were made, the interview was taken and is to be aired on friday, the 22nd of July. The program is E-XTRA showing @ 12.30pm on NTA Network...You can also catch a repeat @ 1.00AM on NTA International on DSTV.
Till then you can view screen shots of the interview by following this link http://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150703271525371&id=544710370&refid=17&_ft_a=544710370&_ft_tf=10150703271525371&_ft_tpi=544710370&_ft_ti=7&_ft_fth=1e78207b5056bcc7&_ft_time_ft=1311032930
As I post this I am humbled and so in awe of God at work in my life. He RULES, by the way. Literally. And yes, I'm excited...so much so that the interview is yet to be aired and I'm thinking to myself "Is that me on the big screen?" (Forgive me, first timer's effect) Lol X_x

Much ado about soccer
I hear of how guys like their babes to know a thing or two about soccer and that's all fine and dandy, as long as he doesn't expect me to know more than two things. You see try as I might, I've never been big on sports. Oh sometimes I could watch basketball...the way the players prance around the court, hot as they look, muscles ripping, chest heaving...*wipes sweat*...I could definitely watch basketball!
However, when it comes to soccer, all I see is one fine boy(Theo Walcott), passing the ball to that african guy (Adebayor), and that afin/albino guy if you wish (Scholes) intercepting it and passing the ball on to Rooney (yes I know Rooney...gimme some credit people) who takes a shot at the net and hey...GOAL BALL!!! I'm sorry I could never keep track of all the names and faces. I think am an Arsenal fan though. Atleast my last boyfriend was an Arsenal fan *shrugs*.
Anyway back to the field, soccer gets tiring at times. But you wanna know when it doesn't. Whenever Nigeria is playing. Boy, don't try me! I turn football expert, commentator, analyst and critic all at once (Oh yes..I threw a tantrum during that whole "Kaita" saga). I get REALLY passionate whenever Nigeria is on the field...I'm patriotic like that :D
The only other times football wasn't boring? The last two episodes of Fun Turf Soccer Fiesta. I guess it had something to do with the fact that the players were of my age range (not all them granddads claiming football ages...we see you Yakubu). The events organized by the Tactics IQ team were a fusion of football, people, fun and food and boy was it a great time!
There was always something interesting happening. If the Beatfm team were not losing; Seyitan, Jola and Debola were taking penalty shots; Mofe and Mr. Faf were fooling around with the mic; we (Tayo and I) were getting barbeque, gisting with friends, having a laugh at some peoples' dress senses; introducing ourselves to some of our twitfam who were in attendance; shuffling to the music or just trying to/not to give that cute guy eye contact. Whichever the case, the last two soccer fiestas organised by the Tactics IQ team were off the chain and with #TIQSF (Tactics IQ Soccer Fiesta) Season 3 coming up on August 6th...me ayaff kukuma go and buy my parry dress...(more like I've made my outfit...AYABA's gonna be in the house..whoop whoop!).
So people clear your calenders, the date is August 6th 2011; the day is Saturday; the Event is Tactics IQ Soccer Fiesta; the Venue is the newly refurbished, state of the art Campos Mini Stadium (on Catholic Mission Street Lagos Island); the time is 12pm, the fee is N2000 and the whole package promises to be ON POINT!!!
So whether you're there to cheer on your favourite team, set summer P, cop some AYABA items, or just ogle the fine boys like I do...It's #TIQSF baby!!!

PART THREE: Bestfriends or Lovers?
Kaine:
There was a great battle in which I fought myself. Rationality vs Irrationality. My head vs My heart. And amidst it all I asked myself this question. If I wasn't in love with Wale, what was I doing beating myself up for?
Oh snap!
I WAS IN LOVE WITH WALE.
And with the realization, a great fear engulfed me.
I wasn't one to chicken out, I had always believed in facing my fears. That was my ready advice to anyone who cared to listen. But it wasn't so easy when the tables were turned. Its one thing "giving out" advice and another "taking it".
Was I to tell Wale how I felt? How was I to begin?.
I sat in front of my mirror, practicing with my reflection.
"Wale there's something I have to tell you...", I began...No, too cliché.
"Wale do you have feelings for me?..." Nah! Too cheesy.
"Ok..here's the deal...I like you. Love you maybe..." Too direct I thought, as I ruled that out aswell.
Sigh.
Boy and Girl Palava.
A passing glance at my watch, and I realized Wale was due to pick me up in 20.
Oops!...I hurried to get ready.
Wale:
(At wale's pad. He's sprawled on the floor playing Fifa 11 while Kaine is sitting flipping through a mag. It had been an unusually quiet evening)
Me: K you ok?
Kaine: errr..sure..why wouldn't I be?
Me: Aii..just checking
I returned to my game which if Kaine had been looking, she would have realized I had since stopped playing.
But she wasn't looking she had refused to look at me all evening. Her face was buried in that boring health mag. That was discouragement enough..I almost faltered..but a guy had to do what a guy had to do.
"Wale", Kaine called at the same time I said "Kaine".
Then followed quiet.
Me: You were saying?
Kaine: No you go first.
And as our eyes jammed we both knew what the other wanted to say.
"When did you know?" I asked. "I guess I'd always known but I was denying it", she replied. You?, she asked. "I was smitten from the very first day", I replied, holding her gaze, more sure of myself now that I knew she felt the same way.
"So what happens now?" Kaine said.
THE END
And I leave the rest to your imagination. What do you guys think happened?
