Princessa well done. Just be a little bit careful in
ur protrayal of Brenda in negative light except if that is what you want
to achieve.
There was a reason why Jide was being so rude to Daisy but why is he being so rude to his ex-gf?
And I have to agree with those who pointed out the likeness and
dislikeness Jide has for his wife and gf respectively was too sudden. Fine,you don't have to explain everything but that is one important area that diffrentiate a good writer from a very writer.
thanks for your observation, and i don't set out to paint Brenda as a bad chick, but as have been previously noted by Daisy and the conversation they've had, i think i was able to reflect the fact that Brenda is cheeky girl and as Daisy portrayed her to be sometimes bitchty so that was a tip of her characteristics she displayed.

but in this chapter, i was careful to describe her from Jide's perspective, all that painting was done through his own assessment. the only probable description was the apparel she adorned.

Brenda on her part reacted to Jide based on all her impression of him through the way he treated her friend and what Daisy told her about him, that doesn't mean she didn't see Jide as hot, because he is grin though his attitude.

okay about the Grace issue, i guess i still have more work to do in drawing reasons why she was jilted by Jide... but i don't think he was rude to her.

thanks and keep the criticism coming...

Fantastic Story line, articulate presentation.....in fact since I 've been "reading-following" this story, I couldn't help but visualise those scenes spontaneously......Princesa! Indeed you are "giftedly-talented" Kudos!

As for Brenda, hope she is aware that this is an issue btw husband and Wife as oppose to Bf & Gf......she shld therefore be very careful not to copy paste her experience with guyz in d level of boyfriend-girlfriend runz......couple with d fact dt jide has even sensed d source of d song Daisy is dancing to lately....

Well done....U r doing great job here....keep it up!

In my usual 'ta si' manner, lemme say that in accordance with LVMJJ, I thought Jide was rude and mean to Grace, this was someone whom he'd had a relationship with, except he'd not really liked her.
He shouldn't have talked to her that way, especially as he broke her heart suddenly like that.

It was really mean and added to my dislike of him, he has got to earn my own love too o princessa, before I can forgive him for all he's done to Daisy.

Are you trying to say Jide was ruthless coz if u were,u never protrayed him that way. Grace was also a victim or was she not? Well in case if u want to publish or something I will urge to work on that angle.

nah, it was just my personal observationsmiley

but am still mad at Grace for sticking to something that's destined to fail. she made herself a victim to the way she is being treated.sad



inbetween, i hope the hidden post wasn't a brawl or something
Re: Story: Taking Chances by frank317: 11:09pm On May 23, 2013
Helloe princess, why do I have a feeling that u desribe urself when u talk about daisy positive side.


Now I think brends was too disrespectul to jide, it is not her fight and she is only here to help. U see it wasn't natural for jide whom I have seen the way he talked to his father to just ignore brenda and leave the house. His leaving the house silently wasn't a problem, but brends would have just tried to be in the bakground, since they were meeting for d first time in his house, then later scold daisy for acting scared. Brends real bichy self could actually come out if she sees jide being overtly rude to her friend.

But I tink I like daisy, she's my kind of girl

about the positive side of Daisy been me, i have no idea about thatsmiley


well, Jide probably wasn't in the mood to reply Brenda, considering the fact that he was just meeting her for the first time and was also on his way out, besides with his win daisy 'campaign' coming along, i don't think shouting at Daisy friend would aid him one bit...

another thing, is that while Jide was meeting Brenda for the first time, Brenda wasn't meeting him for the first time, she knew about him even when he existed at the fantasy stage, and her impression of him has not been that rosy to deserve kind treatment...

that girl too is naturally sassy and cheeky, remember mama referred to her as 'agaracha ibo'...

agaracha in ibo means a lady who is always showing herself and acting up... something like that...

Brenda is the opposite of Daisy but she isnt bad, she's a girl with feelings, portrayed by the way she treats Daisy......


everyone wanted Brenda back and now that she is, she becomes a meddling disrespectful chick. phew! nigerians grin
