Now, we all know that magically perfect day set aside to ignite new flames of passion, rekindle dwindling flames and I dare say haunt lonely singles, Mmm… oh yes, we definitely do, the much anticipated…Valentine’s Day! With Valentine’s day just a breath away, the magical feeling of love begins to radiate from within and around us; Restaurants, boutiques and the likes opening their ever welcoming arms as they buzz in anticipation of great sales, likewise we preparing or should I say, ‘equipping ourselves financially and emotionally to enjoy that special day. Emotional preparation…? Emotional preparation ![]() Obviously to the lucky few, it guarantees – “contentment,” while to many others “anxiety and horror.” The latter effect being especially true for the “lonely singles,” as mistakes of the past and love lost are recalled and probably fantasized about, forcing them to brace up for the questioning stares of others on that fateful day. Unlike other days, Val’s day undoubtedly possesses the irresistible power to unmask our vulnerable inner selves, separate us as individuals and collectively bind us according to our similitude. The categories available? (Oh, you bet) – “Married couples”, “Single Couples” and of course “Lonely singles”. Well I guess the term “Married couples” needs no explanation, so we’ll skip that and go to the “Single Couples”, these are couples who are pretty close to tying the knot are in functional relationships and are definitely headed for the alter. “Lonely singles” on the contrary are those who aren’t in any functional relationship or any relationship for that matter! At last! Val’s day arrives clothed with an ambience of merriment and accompanied by scent of roses, boxes of chocolates, teddy bears, wine it just goes on and on… Visually we see; Fancy restaurants even though filled beyond capacity opening their eager arms to customers, devoted men looking for ways to top up previous wowing attempts therefore creating “an almost everlasting impression” in the hearts of their true loves, others looking for gullible preys to warm their beds, bringing to life “unthinkable fantasies” and of course somewhat amusingly, ladies decked in the hottest trends ready to impress giggling and showing off their gifts in idle competition! – Hmm… Valentine indeed!!! However ladies and gentlemen, beneath all the hype of this much celebrated day lies a whole baggage of depression for the divorced or lonely singles, who once again grudgingly awake from their single beds alone, wondering and wishing they could turn back the hands of time as the reality of time “running out” sinks in yet again and unmistakably, echoes of the unswerving clock aggressively keeps ticking with feigned bravado… -tick- tock – tick- tock… So Val’s day arrives for them with their echoes resounding, its silence deafening while they lock themselves up, wallowing in self pity, as they watch the almost beautiful day roll by in dreamy isolation (this they do by the way to avoid mumbling shamefacedly when confronted by their egotistical loud mouthed married equals about their not so “impressionable single status”).

As a kid, a lot of things re…ally got me confused! You know how it is right? Oh alright, I guess I’ve just gotta say it like it is – Truth be told, even as kids some facts were just absolutely plain glaring; for example, it didn’t take a genius to figure out that as time went on some sorta social segregation just automatically took place. Yep! That’s just how it was – Different crews, different folks, so subconsciously we blended accordingly. Top on the list was every youngster’s fantasy – ‘The Fabulous crew!’ They were undoubtedly the enviable-self assured lot. The ones who just obviously got it going on! You know, they knew who they were what they wanted and nothing could sure as hell hold them back. And then ofcourse, there was the (in order to show a ‘little kindness’ I simply use the term) –‘Plain crew’ (Yes yes tagging us the “un-fabulous crew” would be a little too harsh, plus, yours truly absolutely refuses to be tagged with such a degrading and humiliating title!!! Thank you very much!). Hmm… the plain crew, forever dangling ungrudgingly on the all- knowing tide of fate, contented with wherever she flung us on the face of the earth. “Oh well, as long as we at least existed…” Sadly, the resignation to an unacceptable helpless nightmare! Yeah, like I was saying unlike my gloriously celebrated contemporaries who had everything all ‘figured out’, a lot of things got pretty mixed up in my head; I didn’t know if my wish to become the stunning gorgeous- breathtaking chic, with legs for days and jaws dropping at her every step (courtesy hunks!!!) would come to pass… If I’d be rich and famous or even what I really wanted to be! Oh, but there was one thing I sure knew! (Inhales…wait for it…) – “The kind of man I was gonna marry!!! (And that’s it! Exhale!!! Laughs…). Even as an average girl lacking seriously in the academic department, boy I bet I could produce an excellent piece on that particular matter, grabbing an A-plus grade topped with a standing ovation! No exaggeration intended guys, but trust me when I say- I had it all mapped out… He was going to be; tall, dark and handsome with a pair of gorgeous legs to die for ofcourse (as I was obviously leaning towards being short, fair skinned and not so visually impressive) Extroverted; The kind of guy who just effortlessly is the ‘life of the party’ (sanguine no doubt as I seemed to be an extreme introvert and absolutely hated the fact that I just couldn’t let my guard down with people. Genius; with a mathematical brain like that of a calculator! (Afterall lord knows I was more language inclined, therefore figures and I were on two unmergable part of the planet!)… Stop! Before you crucify me and my unrealistically selfish desire to ‘own a man close to perfection,’ you gotta admit there was some good meant in there somewhere, honestly! Doubt me? Alright, remember biology class and lectures on –‘Genes and heredity?’ well, all those things just gotta be put into consideration (and application ofcourse!) Don’t they? So yeah, this was my noble contribution! A noble deed to protect my unborn generation! My small token! – Simple me playing my part (covers face…). Seriously though, I got two questions- Really, won’t I be blamed if I were ugly and married and equally ugly dude all in the name of love and my children were a sight ![]() ![]() Now you see, a part of the plan to save my kids from unnecessary headaches (Mathphobia; fear of math…Arithmophobia: fear of numbers… and all the other accompanying complications!) Oh, but trust me to see all that coming, yeah, I had it all… figured out! The big picture, clear as day was going to be fabulous with my “unfailing strategy” – Beautiful kids, perfect brains and Happy Happy smiles!!! – The perfect picture indeed! In essence, I had a lot of inadequacies I was battling with, small wonder I desired my exact opposite; he was going to be everything that I was not to make up for my weaknesses and boy, did he have a lot of complementing to do!

We often see it, different temperaments holding an electrifying attraction towards each other. The sanguine getting attracted to the melancholies, totally fascinated by how amazingly different they both are, yet are irresistibly drawn to each other. See more: http:///1CrFz2n 1 Share

Mmm…Saturdays!!! I just love…the sound! It’s a rainy day today, perfect! Miraculous! Heavy downpour, unarguably – the perfect excuse for staying home alone and having a deliciously, fulfilling lazy day…all by myself! I’m feeling real lazy in bed, surrounded by my very own ‘guilty pleasures!’ (…inhales). Pringles, Popcorn and Ice-cream – Oh yeah! Today, there’ll be absolutely no regret what-so-ever. It’s a beautiful day and I intend to maximise it to its fullest. Life is indeed, beautiful (…smiles)! Oops! My tummy rumbles ironically, in anticipation of breakfast, intruding on my thoughts. Yep! One thing I know for sure…‘healthy appetite and denial of breakfast, never merge!’- True talk! Knowingly, my hand reaches for the popcorn with unhurried grace, and at that instant…that very moment, our eyes locked- ‘Hers and Mine…..’My Reflection and I’ only separated by the world’s most prized female accessory and undeniably, ’every girl’s best-est friend’- The Mirror! We gazed into each other’s eyes, she lay on her side, staring at me while I did same, facing the mirror. Slowly, I took in her features, simultaneously doing an overall assessment- attractively petite, quite fair, hair disheveled, gorgeous eyes, cute- little –pointed nose with small but lovely, full lips (Those lips! Out of which proceeds the most unbelievable utterances! Chuckles!!! ) Amazingly, she was without the barest tracing of make-up, yet, it dawned on me, this girl was a looker! Obviously the word ‘Fine’ wouldn’t do this lady justice! Definitely not! Rather, ‘Pretty’ was more like it! And at this realisation, I smiled- Really smiled, cos it was overwhelmingly honouring to realise, that ‘She,’ was ‘Me! OMG!!! For the first time in a very long while, I really believed that smile, it was- heartfelt! I could honestly identify with the feelings beneath that smile. It wasn’t that ‘Cheesy- Perfect- Plastic Smile,’ we tend to give people, in order to convince them we’re fine. Nope! It wasn’t, this was my ‘Beautiful- Honest- to- God- Happy- Perfect Smile!’ and, I loved it! At last! At long….last!!! I was unreservedly content, with my life. Hmm…, I close my eyes and snuggle in bed, while my mind’s eye does, an unfolding, of, my diary…Time….the magic of time! – She travels with an array of pleasant and sometimes, not so pleasant surprises, for some. Mmm….the beauty of time! Her pure beauty- She directs with her magical compass; unfurls dazzling mystical drapes and most definitely, she reveals!!! Mmm-hmm! I’m usually not the kinda girl that gets all ‘Goo-goo eyed’ just cos she sees a guy who’s probably as handsome as sin. Absolutely not! Rather, I pride myself on keeping my head up and maintaining my cool, even when my heart is in total tumult, but Dustin…., Oh Dustin!!! How are the mighty fallen! The mighty may not fall often, but when they do? It’s pretty disastrous! The first time I laid eyes on him, my world literarily stopped, he was, the most beautiful guy I’d ever seen! Dustin, only seventeen and already, he held such promise of pure masculine beauty. With his face perfectly chiseled and that body to die for, (Lord have mercy!) what more could a girl ask for? There was this mysterious air about him, quite captivating actually, Dustin just, wasn’t one to be ignored, Good Lord! The boy was drop-dead gorgeous and the thing was, he knew it too! I remember our first introduction; Dustin walked up to me with the most amazing smile, on his perfect lips, and just like that, just one smile- I was lost! I couldn’t seem to find my breath…..my heart unbelievably seemed to have lost its rhythm….Oh God! Oh God! Oh God! What was happening to me? It was like pure magic, he had cast an irrevocable spell on me. Impossible! It couldn’t be, ‘Me’ the extremely composed girl, who no guy could ruffle was absolutely tongue tied! But finally, (thank God!) I managed to gain control and gave my mind a bit of a mental scolding; it deserved (Whew! Eyeball rolling). That, was how it all began…Dustin and I. Head-over-heels, irrevocably in Sweet-incredulous-Love! Or, so I thought. You see, Dustin belonged to the ‘Sanguine’ lot, so, he automatically had the ability to make every girl believe that she was his ‘special one.’ That he was there to hold your hand, look you in he eye and give you all the attention in the world. But pretty much, amazingly, he turns around and gives that same attention to the next girl! The effect: Many-a-girl think- ‘I am the one’ or that he, was her best friend (Not Me!). Friend! Please…! When a guy looks you in the eye bewitching you with his effortless charm and every attention, you don’t think- ‘Friend!’ Exactly the source of my delusion! As I had unconsciously begun exaggerating his every action. A simple hello, and he was the nicest guy I’d ever met! A lingering conversation: ‘We were simply, compatible!’ A flirtatious remark or lingering gaze: ‘Chemistry! It couldn’t be better.’ So guys, this, was unmistakably the almighty head spinning-roller coaster- breath taking Love! Of course it was! He loved me…he didn’t, just want to admit it yet. He was only waiting for the right moment! He was ‘The One’…he just had to be! It was fate and we were perfect together! Thus, was my obsession for Dustin, as imagined, I had placed him on a pedestal- ‘The Perfect Guy’ and no other, could contend! (Funny, I was basically none existent in his world!). Years passed and somehow, we lost contact, but as the saying goes- ‘Absence makes the heart grow fonder.’ Dustin was forever in my head! What other proof did I need? This, was definitely unadulterated, Love! I was strecthed out on my sofa Wednesday evening when my phone rang. Oh my goodness! I couldn’t believe it. It was Dustin!!! We chatted just a bit and agreed to hook up for dinner on Friday. I was so…..excited and looked forward to our date, shamelessly. At last, Friday night! I arrived right on time and gave the place surveillance- No Dustin! Already getting upset, I picked up my phone to call, when I heard him call my name. Apparently, he’d been sitting so close and I hadn’t recognised him at first glance! (Relief) At that moment, I turned but couldn’t believe my eyes, Oh No!!! See more: http:///170tcPc

Once upon a time in every diary, lies an untold tale of a somewhat ridiculous fascination, forever hidden and engraved in each soul… Mmm…Dear Diary, always there with her enticingly- invincible- soothing shoulders, urging you to lean on! Oh! Our Dearest, Dearest Diary, everly present with open arms in eager anticipation, luring you with the irresistible warmth of a friend, as she bewitches you with her every charm, locking you in an intoxicating embrace! Indeed! Man’s one true companion! Constantly listening, yet, never judging and forever yearning to update our every conquest, with nothing but the purest of intentions. As the pages flip open, she displays with sheer delight her effortless ability to strip us bear of the ‘Borrowed Sophistication’ and reveals with artistic splendor our inner vulnerability. Just how she does it? Why – By renting every fabulous facade of composure, we’ve ever staged in front of the world of course! …As teardrops spill unashamedly! Gradually, as time gracefully glides by, she awakens us from our ‘enchanted daze’ with amazing dexterity, revealing the misguided tour of the heart, in its frantic search, for its one true love! …I’d always thought this was how the story would go; the day begins like every other normal day- The sun rises at sunrise, the grass- green, trees swaying rhythmically in sweet surrender to the freshness of the morning breeze, characterized by the normal hustle and bustle of everyday life… And at that instant, as though a fairy tale, fate works her magic! She ordains it! Your paths cross…it feels like you’ve known forever. He gets you like no one else…Sees right through you to the centre of your being! Oh, how to put it ![]() Hmm, as the world stands still, itching and eagerly anticipating the unfolding of a new chapter! Uh-huh! This had forever been my theory- ‘Compatibility meaning Rightness!’ Funny, I had this secret fantasy in my teens (Which I embarrassingly nurtured till adulthood) where it’s just pretty little confused moi, all alone in my room debating within myself, cos I’d fallen for a guy and was contemplating the possibility of him being- ‘The One,’ while looking up dreamily to the sky for answers…And then suddenly, I hear it…that still small voice! It’s perfectly clear, as it announces with undeniable clarity- ‘Yvonne my child, he’s definitely the one!’ and with that, I return overly excited grabbing my prince charming, living happily ever after!!! (Needless to say, it never did work that way for me!). See more: http:///1IGgSiO

No doubt the stereotypical description of a sex god has come to mean: an irresistible tall dude blessed with high cheekbones, a strong jaw complimented beautifully with engraved six packs, all of this captured gloriously within a perfectly sculptured body.

This magnetic bloke mostly based in the United Kingdom has modeled for top international brands and is one Nigerian doing us proud, ladies ( we’ve got you covered*wink*) and gentlemen, we present Emmanuel Ikoro.

Sometimes we get caught up in the whole drama of trying to keep up in the finance department that we forget to just breathe, that’s right we get so carried away that we hardly find time to appreciate and immerse ourselves in the enthralling beauty displayed in unrivalled grandeur before our very eyes. Today we take a trip to one of the most captivating beauties in South Africa’s Cape Town; the world famous historical gardens - The Kirstenbosch garden, crowned the most beautiful garden in Africa. This treasure established in 1913 hosts a unique blend of 22, 000 delightful indigenous flora. With un-intimidated pride, Kirstenbosch perches proudly on the eastern slopes of Table Mountain over a 36 hectare garden just a minute part of the 528 hectare estate in the Kirstenbosch Estate. The heavenly spectacle is famous for charming tourists, South Africans and visitors in general for over 200 years. Deservingly, the breathtaking Kirstenbosch is regarded as one of the ‘magnificent seven’ botanical gardens of the world. Also, it is the first botanic garden in the world to be included within a natural World Heritage Site. See more: http:///yp160u 1 Like

We've seen it all, endless paparazzi’s forever chasing the irresistible sexy Kim Kardashian, cameras flashing here and there while she undeniably tries to entrance her audience seemingly effortlessly with her delicious body displayed in the most unbelievable designer pieces as the crowd burst in unquantifiable oohhs and aahhs, unconsciously mesmerized by the beauty of it all- Pretty smooth indeed. Although Kim qualifies in every sense of the word as one of Hollywood’s most breathtaking fashion icon who totally looks put together each time, one can’t deny that her fashion can be summed up in one word- “Girly” that’s right Kim always appears ladylike flaunting all the curves and no doubt, that almost perfect physique. At last somehow along Kim’s reign as the queen of fashion, the curtains were drawn and a certain someone sparked our interest, amazingly it wasn't as expected one of the older Kardashian sisters Kourtney or Khloe but rather the younger Kardashian- 18 year old Kendall Jenner, daughter of Bruce Jenner and Kris Kardashian. Surprisingly, Kendall won the world over, a new respect was found when she was featured on the front page as a Vogue cover girl In Paris edition of Vogue with her slender yet beautifully carved model-like body (something it took her fashionista sister Kim a lot of years to attain as Kim covered the magazine in April of the American Vogue the same year). Starting out modeling at 14, the reality Television star has since worked with reputable brands and is currently enjoying lots of attention from big time designers. She is co-owner- “Kendall & Kylie’s” fashion line. - See more at: http:///a2jeN7

Imagine being the normal less than fabulous teenager who is totally content with being in her own world and never really even dares to fantasize about being the centre of attraction. This is the story of the Princess Diaries, a story of a not so cool 15 year old who was just the average teenager and never dreamt of being one of the coolest kids let alone, being a royal; however fate hands her presumably more than she can handle as she soon learns that she is the heir to the throne- The Princess of Genovia and braves up to the challenge. At the beginning of the story, we see a young girl who is in love with one of the cool guys, but because she’s considered one of the weird ones, she never gets any attention from him, as he is blown away by one of the really hot chics in class. However as the story progresses, we see Emilia played by Anna Hathaway: who is supposed to present in front of the class but nearly throws up as her nerves fails her and she runs away. Later on she finds out that she is the heir and has to deal with giving public speeches and this automatically makes her hide back in her shell as she revolts saying she just has one heart desire- to be totally invincible. Although, later she accepts the bid and undergoes scrutiny(her posture and her overall disposition) and training on how to walk, talk, eat and stand like a princess, from her grandmother – Clarisse, who she just met; a prim and proper lady and the queen of Genovia. After a while, Emilia is transformed to a complete royal and overcomes her fear, on the day of the ball where she is to be announced and shown to the world, but things don’t turn out as expected then she arrives all messy and wet.
