I turned 21. I feel really special and really lucky because this year we’ve heard of so many slayings and gang violence and as we know a lot of the victims didn’t live to see age 21. So I definitely am happy and thankful that I lived to see this opportunity. I am owning this year. It’ll be mine. I will be making the best of 2010; embracing change, meeting all my challenges, learning from my mistakes and celebrating my accomplishments. The world is JUST getting ready for ME!
My special day is fast approaching and to be honest, I have nothing planned and I’ not even worried. Usually I’d be up in arms and panicky, but not this time. I have nothing plannned (but I still got a theme and theme song- see below), I never really mention it unless I’m asked. I’m content. I’m just thankful for the opportunity to live to see 21. So for that opportunity I’m most happy. The day itself will be just like any other.
Anyway, I just wanted to share my joy with you guys. I hope everyone’s doing well.
And Here’s to wishing you and your family a HAPPY HOLIDAYS! And an ULTRA-FABULOUS 2010…Be sure to own it and live it to the fullest; fulfil all your goals, celebrate all your accomplishments and learn from your the mistakes.

My 21st Bday theme, “You Only Live Once, But If You Do It Right Once Is Enough”
Now I really need to vent…and yall already know that this is the only place I feel comfortable!
I need your thoughts…
About 2 weeks ago I sent out invitations for my 21st birthday celebration (a celebration that only happens once in a girl’s lifetime) and on the invites I made a few specifications as to what my attendees can expect on the night (FUN and GOOD TIMES) and what I expect from my attendees, like 1) EVERY Attendee MUST Bring a Present 2) NO ALCOHOLIC Presents Will Be Accepted 3) A Birthday Card WILL NOT Be Classed as a Present 4) Dresscode STRICTLY Party Wear i.e. Heels, NO JEANS.
I mean like really, what’s so wrong about asking someone to bring a present (and STRICTLY meaning it)??!! A girl only turns 21 once, and YES I understand that their presence at the celebrations is worth a lot more than presents ever will (no one appreciates that more than me), I think its fair to ask for a present seeing that I am NEVER one to ask for presents not for Xmas and never for Bday. I always get cards every year and I love them a lot, in fact I collect them! But I’m gonna be 21 (in about 3 weeks which means the will have had 4 or 5 weeks to prepare) and I think I’m allowed to atleast demand 1 present from each of the few attendees at my intimate celebration, just this one special time. No??
Mojo tells me I’m acting like a diva. I don’t agree, at all. But even so, am I not allowed just this one time??
**Still can’t get over how GREAT the Rihanna album is!!**
Anyways…
So today the invitations for my EXCLUSIVE Bday celebration was sent out to about 20+ ppl! Oooh, and Im anxious! I just want the day to get here already (ONLY 31 days to go…not countin’). I know the month of December is gonna be a mad hectic for me. Assignments due in during the 1st two weeks, gotta get a new hair do right after, then I gotta do some catching up with folk I ain’t seen in a loooong time, need to get X-Mas shopping out the way annnnnnnd Bday preparations annnnnnd NYE/NY preparations – *sigh!*
..And I know its all gonna happen oh so quickly! But bring it on…cuz I know I’M READY – LOL!
I hope all my US ppl had a ULTRA-FAAABBB Thanksgiving and I hope everyone has a GREAT weekend!
So it’s Saturday 21st November 2009, exactly 2 days before my first MCS meeting as President of the society, 2 weeks before two of the biggest assignments of my final year and 2 end-of-semester tests, and as busy all that is keeping me, I still managed to find time to remember that my 21st Bday is exactly 37 days before my 21st birthday. Seems far yet but I’ve really been thinking about what I’m gonna do to celebrate and after 2 weeks of really giving it thought, I think I wanna do it big, not BIG – but big. You know?
I want the mani and pedi, the shopping, the WOW dress, the SICK heels, the crazy purse, the girls, the exclusive dinner, the cake, the hyped club, the party-lights, the dancing, the one drink maybe more. I wanna look 21 –mature, sophisticated, FAAAAB! You know? I wanna have a ‘no boundaries’ type of celebration where I feel comfortable and loved, and happy ‘cause I’m with the folk I’m closest to. I want that one night, December 29th, to be all about me! I wanna be deliberately selfish, for once!
Anyway, I was just got off the phone with TT – talking about what I plan to do and we were online window-shopping for my perfect dress. I’ve seen a few hot ones. You’ll see the pics after the celebration – We’re gonna have some next kinda fun on December 29th. When it’s all over I wanna feel like ‘Why can’t every night be like last night?’
**Queue Keri Hilson’s ‘I Like’** My 21st Bday Anthem!
Heeeeeeyyy Everybody? How’s everyone doing today? Yesterday I was sick!! Damn those tummy cramps. I’m well now thanks to the BIG MAN! And…
Today I am very happy to announce that I received my grades for this year and I PASSSSSED!! Which means I’m moving onto my final year w/ no referrals! I’m really relieved now that I’m in the know – the waiting and waiting and waiting is the hard part. October will mark the begining of my final year of my Undergrad study at university and to quite honest I’m looking forward to settling in and giving this very crutial year all I have. I want to graduate at the top nothing less. EXCELLENCE 24/7 & Nothing Less! I know it won’t be easy, nobody said it would but I think as long as I am dedicated and motivated and I know that I’m passionate about whatever I’m working at, all will be well. So Im not scared…rather anxious actually.
For all my academics out there working hard to get the good grades, let me here you say “EXCELLENCE 24/7 & Nothing Less“!
