It's #throwbackthursday

I took that picture over 4years ago at a historic place called Olumo rock.

Olumo Rock is a popular tourist attraction in the city of Abeokuta, Ogun State, Nigeria. It was used as a fortress by the Egba people in the early 19th century. Olumo rock, one of the most popular tourist destinations in Nigeria, West Africa, sits in the ancient city centre of Abeokuta ā€“ a name which means ā€œUnder the rockā€; it has a height of 137 metres above sea level.

My Throwback

So it was a holiday, on the 26th day of December,some years ago. An NGO I belong to decided to go on a picnic. We(members of the NGO) were all living in Lagos and it was time to have fun after a year's stress I didn't have to think twice about it. It was all I wanted at that moment. I love the sound of fun whenever it is shilled. We all agreed and decided to visit the popular rock in the city of Abeokuta all the way from Lagos. There were lots of "9-5" peeps amongst us,travelling that far meant the journey should be worth it.

Fast forward to about 2hours later, we arrived olumo rock. And yes we were all ready for fun. We got introduced to someone who was to take us round the rock and teach us relevant history about the rock.

Up we go!
That was the song I had in my head while we climbed the rock.
On arriving the rock, something happened. Something I never had an idea could happen.
šŸ™ˆšŸ™ˆšŸ™ˆšŸ™ˆšŸ™ˆšŸ™ˆšŸ™ˆšŸ™ˆšŸ™ˆ

I started crushing on a handsome guy. A total stranger. He was so cute, properly dressed and had this masculine voice I like.
Nothing at all made sense to me anymore. I totally drifted from enjoying the picnic I came for to stupidly looking at him. The worst that happened was,at a point, my colleague left to somewhere else, I didn't notice at all but I stood staring at this young man. And guess what???
He caught me.... šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚šŸ˜‚

She's 15 going on 16 years old.

Perla does not have much energy lately so I can't do m with her anymore.
So in this pic I took her on a train ride with me the city. She was exhausted at the ending of the day but by the look in her eyes I think she thanked me for taking the time to be with her.

This was a picture i toke 5yrs ago with an Actor, who i still cant remeber his name.

this is how it all happened!!! I was at home thinking about my ups and down until a friend show for my door step. He told me that a party will be going down the evening, that i will get paid for attending the party..

See me oooo !!! who am i to reject it while i will also get paid on top of enjoyment?

As we reach the location, everything was set and was told to sit at one canopy by my friend but to my notice, they were shooting the last stage of the film. I was like, are they filming us at the party or what. the director told us to come out and act like the villagers following a village champion.
New to the scene, i dont know what to do but to copy other cos they were all from A.G.N (Actors Guild of Nigeria) . i follow suit and my name was written down and i was handsomely rewarded ......
