Hello lovelies

I've been fine, thanks for asking in your minds.

First up, I missed the bloggers meet up in Lagos which was kinda annoying/sad because I found out on the day and time was far spent so I glued my butt to my chair. Wish I knew a bit earlier, that would have spiced my holiday too but.....huge sigh.

Moving on......
One thing that has really annoyed me in the past weeks is how Nigerians/ Lagosians like to moan. They moan about EVERYTHING and anything. Although some things are worth moaning about but wait ....what are you doing to make it better?

A visit to the MTN shop at the mall in Ikeja, I noticed people call it ICM now yeah?
Some people stood and some sat waiting for their number to be called, thank God someone spoke up so I knew we had to get numbers.
What did I go there for? Internet service. I had to sort my micro-sim out  but then I discovered it had expired, heaven knows how that happened (side-eye).
Anyway, the guy at the desk then said the system is down so numbers are not being generated. I simply looked down to ensure no ones foot was by chance in the way.  I left the store gently, some people just had to show how uncomfortable they were in the store because the oh so not smiling MTN staff there were almost slower than snails.
My theory, no matter how hard you squeeze your face, I don't think its going to make them work any faster.

I called MTN customer service centre, and boy the adviser could not have been 'ruder'. He was absolutely  RUDE!
I hate yelling or being rude to someone I do not know over the phone, so I was furious when this urchin kept questioning me.
Let's call the guy MTN person.

MTN person: Hello good afternoon, my name is MTN person. How may I help?
Me: (uses the loud speaker)Hi!  I'm trying to top my phone up but it won't let me and my cousin is trying to transfer the airtime over and it keeps telling her that transfers can't be made to a postpaid customer and I am not a postpaid customer.  Is there a way you can sort that out for me? (Cousins and siblings laughing out really loud in the room).
MTN person:  please take your phone off speaker. (Me: switches to handset) what's your name?
Me: Tee.....
MTN person: Okay how may I help you?
Me: (my facial expression at this moment was priceless, considering the fact that my people were being so loud I gave him the benefit....) uhmm ookkkaaayeeee. I'm trying to top my phone up but it won't let me and my cousin is trying to transfer the airtime over and it keeps telling her that transfers can't be made to a postpaid customer and I am not a postpaid customer.  Is there a way you can sort that out for me?
MTN person: Please take your phone off speaker (raises voice)
Me: I'm not using the speaker (Cousin walks over)
MTN person: take your phone off speaker!!
Me: (I was getting angry at this point) I'm not using the speaker, are you indirectly saying I'm lying? Baby T, can you hear the person I'm talking to?
BabyT: No.
MTN person: your phone is still on speaker
Me: maybe you should give the phone to someone else, they might be able to hear me better
MTN person: so are you saying I have hearing difficulties?
Me: Nope! you wont stop arguing with me over the speaker issue maybe you should give the phone to someone else.
MTN person: People have been calling to say they have issues with airtime and blah di blah 

Suddenly suddenly, he happened to have heard everything I said beforehand acted like the speaker was never a big deal.

I felt bad inside that I just had a mini go at someone I don't even know so I felt I had to end the conversation on a good note but....... Honestly I was too angry to care. 
He was unable to sort the issue out and it took a day or so to get airtime on and all that. 

Are they really that rude? Like what's the point?

I called earlier to ask about data plans but this lady spoke like she was reading off a script. And even before we asked all the questions, she already said 'thank you for calling MTN, do have a lovely day and she hung up. 

MTN, y'all need to get your act together.

Marriage + Friend's wedding weekend narrated Part A - Long post alert.

Hey guys

Hope your summer is going well? Well my summer just started because the last semester just ended. Still working on twitter - @mizzitee.

My topic for today - Marriage and the youths.
Everyone seems to be getting married these days, it's like an anthem now when I hear people say 'I'm getting married. 

I attended a friend's wedding, met a few people.

Ghanaian Guy: I'd love to visit Ghana more often but love happened and I have to consider my wife as you know I'm married

Tee: *huge grin but dazed face inside* Oh yeahhh you have to consider her too.

Ps. my  love for Ghana is unconditional.

GG looks so young but he had his shiny band on his finger.

Second friend is getting married in 2 months and I looked at the one too like WHAT?!

I met someone else at my cousin's and he said he's getting married in a few months and I looked at him with a smile and said oh congratulations. Once he  left the room, I said to everyone else - everyone is getting married.

Who else is getting married or better put, who else is engaged? Dr Sid and Simi , Peter or Paul and Lola, Jennifer Aniston and Justin.

It's a good thing anyway.

Marriage has always been something regarded as 'for adults' and back in the day, men were at least 30 years old when they got married. There are still people like that of course but also guys men aged 25 and above are getting married.

Are people getting younger? Am I too traditional? What's the 'right' age for people to get married?

I spoke with the 'second guy's' fiancée who is an absolute darling, very very nice. I tried to indulge her in my ice cream and chin chin mixture, she'll try it I'm sure.

Me: Are you ready for your wedding, the day?

SGF: Not ready for the day but ready for marriage.

Me: Hmmm I see.

But seriously, it's making me dizzy. Marriage is good thing, be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth!

I always thought it was a process;

Guy meets girl

They both grow together

Guy makes up his mind

Guy and girl too get financially, spiritually stable - this is the most important bit to mentors and 'elders'.

Guy makes the move

Girl agrees

Did done.

I used to think people had to be together for a long time to make the big move but people are together for two years now and they are married the following year.

You can tell how traditional this girl is.

Is it just me or people are getting married really early these days?

The topic above was triggered by a wedding I attended two Saturdays ago and it was splendito. First wedding in a couple of years that I could physically attend.

It all started on Friday evening, I finished for the day and it was time to hit the road, well more like train tracks.

We (le sisto and moi) hopped on the train, it was so full. One woman and her son were both watching different series or something on their individual apple devices which I thought was cute. Ps. is anyone a Scandal follower?

I do not know what Scandal has got to do with the topic - weddings. Let me act like I know nothing.

Anyways they both kept unconsciously kicking me and being Miss Nice Girl, I kept smiling and saying 'oh it's fine, don't worry' blah di blah.

Ps. I really should give le sisto a nickname here, let's call her errr...thinking.......booting.....loading......uhmm let's call her le sisto, can't think of anything else.

An hour later, we hopped off and walked out of the station and gosh the city (I won't mention the city because I do NOT want to offend anyone) was so busy and when a city is 'full', what do you expect? litter. They sure keep the council busy, the town centre was just unbelievable.

Sorry!!! back to the topic now.

The couple were at their rehearsal so we went to join them there, we got there pretty much after *whoops!*

Why do people have rehearsals though? Isn't it supposed to be a natural moment/event? 

Question: will you be having a rehearsal?

We met the groom (le sisto's friend), yes I tagged along. He introduced us to the rest of the bunch and they were/are all absolutely amazing people, we all became so close, it was surreal.

And guess what? the bride's brother and I attend the same Uni. He said something like 'my face looks so familiar' and I gave him the seriously look? Anyways he remembered me and we moved on. 

Then it was time to journey to the hotel, man was it far away? 

We went back into town, stayed out for a bit and then finally TRAVELLED to the hotel. We hit the motorway and all I kept thinking was I hope we don't have to journey this far in the morning. No we didn't, thank God.

Oh my daze! Can you imagine?!

Hey guys

Okay this is so similar to Sisi Yemmie's post.

I didn't want to blog about it but I just had to.

Sisi Yemmie must read this.

After a very long day and journey to the town centre, I was approached by this lady who looked so innocent. She moved so close to me that I moved away and tightened my grip on my bag.

I had a puzzled look on my face and lo and behold, she started talking

Person x: 'xcuse me. I just left my purse or bus pass (one of them) on the bus and I don't have any money on me

Missy Tee: *puzzled look*

Person x: I was wondering if you could give me a quid, I am waiting for my friend to finish from work

Missy Tee: Oh I'm sorry I don't have any change on me (I honestly didn't, I would have given her if I had because she acted so well). Sure you don't have a chip and pin device - no I didn't say that!

Person x: awwww okay thank you

Missy Tee: Sorry! No worries.

I walked away feeling guilty, searching through my bag using my head for any change I could have dropped somewhere.

Fast forward to the following week;

Le sisto and I were walking past an area close to where I saw person x.

Le sisto passed a comment about person x's dress along with a baby bump and immediately I saw the face, looked so familiar and I was wondering where I had seen the face.

While le sisto and I were busy chatting, this other lady was walking not far ahead and guess what?!

Person x stopped her and I slowed down a bit in a bid to recall the face, and what made me remember person x was the story.

She gave this other lady almost the same 'lyrics' that she gave me.

She was asking her for money!!

My eyes widened and my jaw slowly dropped.

I couldn't believe person x was pregnant because I didn't notice or to be honest I didn't look down to notice the bump. She looked so innocent and hey  Angelina Jolie does NOT have anything on her.
To be honest, I don't know if she misplaced her bus pass again - I'm not judging even though it seems like I am :-/

Sisi Yemmie's post immediately popped into my mind - mainly because it happened in an entirely different country.

Some people are just talented!

Another post coming up shortly!!

I'm still getting used to twitter - @mizzitee

Luv 

Where's everyone? + The anonymous + Twitter

Hello peoples

Honestly, I've been wanting to blog since last week but topics keep coming into my mind and then flying away - busy schedule.

Anyways, hope you all are good?

I've been trying to catch up and I've noticed a few people are not on blogger anymore e.g. Ibhade (Simply mee) (man I enjoyed reading her stories but can't read them anymore now) and a few others.

I've been on twitter for a long time (a year-ish) but I pushed it aside just because..........
Anyways, I'm on twitter (sounds cheesy right? yeah) so you can click the follow button (@mizzitee) - don't hate on a sister, she's kinda new to it so be warm instead gracias.

Anyways, this happened a long long time ago. about 6 weeks ago.

I was heading to class and I saw this elderly man trying to cross over to the other side of the road. I looked down to get something from my purse and the next second all I heard was 'slam bang slam!!! he was down along with a cyclist.

 Blood in the middle of the road, traffic all the way - traffic was crayzeeeee.

This other lady was shouting at the other person who was speaking to the emergency service and they were almost about to have a mini mini catfight (I think). They sorted themselves out. Ladies rock!

 

I was shocked!! I yelled Jesus which became my anthem- there were people all around him already so there were lots of people around to help him while they awaited the ambulance. Heaven knows where the cyclist came from.

Luckily, the cyclist was alright.

He was taken away by the medics.....

I walked into my class and the scene kept playing in my head. Still dazed I kept my cool throughout the class.

The following day, the class was about a similar situation and I just thought to myself 'how great'!

Fast forward to weeks after, I saw this man walking slowly across AGAIN - once a soldier, always a soldier right? in this case, once a 'crosser', always a 'crosser'. I just was thankful he made it. Thought he was gone!

Being that I don't know him personally, I can't and could not say anything to him about it so I hushed but seriously  talk about brave - God you are fabulous! The bestestest!!

I'm thankful for the anonymous a.k.a man I don't know personally 's life.

These days I am so conscious of cyclists that I look in the side and rear mirror even when not driving, I check the corners cyclists can squeeze through when I'm walking. You just never know when they are flying down the hills, squeezing past traffic and all that! It is well

What's up with having to pay £3000 to visit the UK? Really??

 

Ps. I'm reading A Heart to Mend again - Yes Myne again! Awaiting other books

 

Have a fabulous weekend!

Missy Tee

Apologies + I met someone

                                         

Dear lovely readers and followers and fellow bloggers

I definitely cannot pretend I've not been MIA for *checks previous post* 5 months*.

I am really sorry (again), no seriously I am sorry believe me ;-)

My to-do list (yes I use to-do lists pretty much all the time -gist), okay where was I? Oh yes my to-do list is always long and whenever I manage to cut it down and tick some things off so I can actually blog, another bunch of tasks push blogging down the list. Anyway not that my list is very short now but I moved blogging up the list by force. It's 6.20am so why not!

I just had to explain myself because you know I had to hence the story above.

Moving on, how are you all doing and I can't believe it's June already. Thank you Jesus *Taraji's voice*

 A huge thank you to people that dropped me a message to check up on moi and to say hello e.g Priscy and Toinlicious. You guys are amazing, God bless you real good for moi.

My story of the moment, I met someone yes someone......a friend. 

I can't really divulge much about this person because they would like to remain anonymous but yea here we go.

I met Z on my 'journey', Z and I clicked almost immediately regardless of the huge age difference. We spoke about so much even though I mostly sat and listened, I did chip in here and there. Z shared memories but yet was still careful because we only just met. As time progressed, that became a thing of the past. Z advised, warned me to learn from own errors and often times talked so much to the point that leaving to go do other things was a task. 

Z was really upset by some kinda weird noise on one occasion and I was dazed at the Jackie Chan stunt that was used to stop the noise. I stood there and watched with such amazement but hey we all have our inner Jackie. Ps. I realised that Jackie Chan is about a year younger than his wife Ling (that's her name right? :-/ I think so) and why is that news Tee?

Back to Z, sometimes I stayed away just for the sake of it and to give Z some space but I don't think that went down well with Z. Sometimes I had to explain that I haven't been around and bla bla and then that sarcastic 'really' is let out and I put a funny face on. 

Z is still around and although we don't get to chill as much anymore because hey busy and so very different schedules. I still have a few point from Z in my head.

Here are a few things for you

- Don't give up on what you've been working so hard on, you'll arrive at your expected result soon

- Don't be shy to ask questions, it makes you much more acceptable in some kinda way

- Don't be afraid to speak your mind

- Careful not to break too many hearts, try not to break any if you can

- You can't satisfy everyone, even yourself at times 

- Love, love and love some more

- Learn from others and of course work on yourself

Z is not a tutor or a motivational speaker...., we did talk about some old British stuff too but I don't want to bore you with all of those. 

Let's just say the UK was fun in the thirties and forties. There I was sat thinking 19..s was fun, it was to us at the time.

I really wish I could share more but......

Ps. As anyone been to Skinny Hipster's? She's so daring, her wardrobe is seriously.... Please give me a word. www.skinnyhipster.com

Have a fabulous week loves.

Back soon

Missy Tee
