My Friday Night Outing.

I'm still in a daze. Had a crazy Friday night. I'm not a night club person, don't particularly enjoy the loud music, alcohol, cigarettes etc but I love to dance, so once in a while, I like to go someplace where I can unwind.

I'd been planning a quiet, stay in Friday night until top designer, Frank Osodi, called me at about 8pm inviting me to a place called Fashion Cafe. It's a new bar/restaurant/night club off Awolowo Road. For some reason I never say no to Frank. I always go where he invites me to...he gave me a modeling career, he's my mentor...besides that, HE was up for some partying, cos the last time we went to a club was in February. So we set out at 10pm.

We met Frank Osodi, Sunny Neji, Emeka Ossai, Remi Lagos, and so many others at Fashion Cafe. It was fun for a little while until Remi Lagos decided it was time for us to go check out another club. In a convoy, we went to a new Jazz joint called Jazz Session, a really classy, clean place with great ambience.

That was where I saw Funmi Iyanda. I couldn't get enough of hugging her. She's like the nicest woman ever. She went on and on about how much she loved my blog, using some ecouraging words. That was the high point of the night for me. Funmi is such a friendly, down to earth person who has no airs about her...no 'I'm a celebrity' attitude. She's so cool! And she was looking so hot hot hot! Most people around couldn't take their eyes off her. She's such an inspiration...

We hung out at Jazz Session for a little while until some people in our group decided it was time to check out another spot. So we left Jazz Session and went to Tiffany Amber's hubby's night club Lacasa on Ozumba Mbadiwe, but we couldn't get in 'cos they said Friday Nights were members only night! Yawn!

Anyway, we left there and headed to club towers on Idowu Taylor...same luck...Club Towers was closed. We decided to go check out one last spot before calling it a night...we went to Da Grotto on Etim Inyang...that was our last bus stop and it was quite fun as I had the opportunity to finally dance. It was fun.

Got home at about 4 am really tired...those who club every weekend I wonder how they do it...I'm still trying to recover from last night's trip...

That is the end of my story, and the moral of my story is...you decide lol. I feel like I'm just blabbing...just wanted to share my fun night with y'all...

Something else I want to talk about that's bothering some members of my family and HIM. I'm getting slimmer and slimmer by the day. I eat, I don't know why I can't seem to add weight. HE took me to a pharmacy this afternoon and bought me all kinds of vitamins, appetite stimulants, blood tonics etc etc. He's threatened to dump me if I don't add weight lol....my younger sister too has become almost a pain in the neck, she's always bugging me about my slimness, even went as far as reporting me to my mum. So I seriously need to add weight. Anyone know what I can do? Do tell me abeg o.

Meanwhile I just got myself a new office space. Five rooms and a big reception area...I'm so excited about it, I'll tell y'all about it later...

Wienna where are you? Get in touch babes. Miss you already!

Goodnight everyone. Kisses!

That must have been some serious night going to all those places! I've heard about Jazz Session too. Is it really nice? You sef, who send you go out for Friday night? I hope say you don wake up sha.. LOL
About the weight thing, I'm still laughing. Many ladies are fighting with themselves to lose weight (calabargirl, Mrs Somebody, etc) and some want to add.. talk about having cap without head. Maybe you need to visit Chocolat Royale more often, and take more carbohydrates and sugars. I've also heard there are pills to add weight but I won't trust those. There might be side effects.
So you got the office space? Congrats o!

Hey Linda it's kinda cool to go chilling with your hommies when u ve d time baby...all work, work without pleasure ain't awright...I'm not a big fan of the clubbing scene but i love good music and dance well too...i always make sure i found time from no time to go clubbing with my lovely SHE, with few of my inner circle homeboyz...The times I don't feel comfortable is when I'm surrounded by my friends and we're just talking shits ...
I think u need to eat more starchy stuff say (Fufu)Ogbono & Egusi soup laced with assorted meats to gain back some flesh girlie though,LOL!:)))

You're great as you are luvly, anyone doesn't like it; they know what to do!! Besides, i thought skinny was in....
In the end, its all down to stress really. Eat proper meals three times a day. Dont skip breakfast and try other things in the morning like yoghurt and stuff....
sounds like you guys had a nice time, glad to hear there's finally a jazz place in lag.

Hey sis, I have heard about that Jazz place, Juba Kunle told me about it. Since i am a Jazz fan,they will see me there as often as i can. I heard it's open Monday thru Friday. I am glad u went clubbing,praise God, i know how many times i have tried to 'drag' u to a club, but u have always bn like "No i dont like clubs",(yawn),lol. I am glad u had fun too. Yes u are skinny,infact too skinny. But we love u the way u are. Guys when Linda was a bit robust,she was a stunner,still is but back then she was..'off da hook!!' I am glad u are listenign to HIM.

Hey Linda, i wanted to tell you about this post on laspapi's blog. Click here to view it and get back to him ASAP. I heard there're limited spaces and I'd sure love to see u there.

you want to gain weight? I remember the days when i used to eat & eat and i never gained weight. My mom took me to the hospital, and my family made sure i was always on vitamins to help me eat my self out but it never worked. Sadly its not like that now. I need to watch what i eat like everybody else. If you want to gain weight, just eat as much fat & cabohydrates as possible. If you were in the UK gaining weight would not be a problem because there is always a MacDonalds or KFC around somewhere.

is it safe to go clubbing in nigeria? as in no police or armed robbers on the road?? I have never been clubbing in Nigeria (lived a sheltered life unfort), would love to experience it.

Mrs Somebody said...

hi linda, I've missed your blog for a while now.So you wanna gain some weight?hmmm.........talk about one man's meat.but just like tessy said, maybe you could add weight when you get pregnant with HIM's baby.LOL!

Mrs Somebody said...

After you get married to HIM of course.

yeaaaah, i'm glad i'm missed by 'some people'. How u dey now? Hope u had a fabu time with mr. F and your celeb friends? I'm just like u, don't really like d clubbing scene, especially when it gets too crowdy and smoky. I wish we could 'swap flesh'. Just as i dey worry about my constant weight gain, u dey worry about putting on. Just go and see a nutritionist and as a lot of people here have suggested, get mr. F to marry and sperminate u. lol
