I have a headache.

So far, my job search(es) haven't been very fruitful. I'm looking for a part-time gig that I can work till i graduate, and a full-time job that I can work after I graduate. I'm surprised that I'm not too bothered..yet. But then again, why should I be? I never really bother myself about these things. According to my girl N, 'it will all fall into place eventually...'
I should be bothered though. My money is diminishing and a sister got bills to pay. I can't even believe that I won't be going anywhere too far this spring break 'cos I can't afford to.
Like I keep saying, it seems like God has left the building. Can't blame him sha......

I just finished reading this book--->

I loved it. It was cute and very funny. Reading the book, I observed that the main character aka the Shopaholic (Becky Bloomwood), and I are somewhat similiar.

1) We see a sale and go bonkers! Get to know me, and you'll find out that I can not pass up on a good sale. Even if I don't need the item, I think 'well it's on sale so I'll get it' (Well, I'm cutting back on that these days sha)

2) We mentally tick off the designer for the clothes that we are wearing that day. i.e, Today I am wearing Express jeans, Kenneth cole flats, a Gap long sleeved tee and an Old navy hoodie. I also make mental notes of what I'm worth for the day.. i.e, Express jeans--$30 etc etc.

3) Every occasion deserves a treat/pick-me up. After failing my Drivers test 3 times, I hit up the mall for some 'encouragement' and when I passed it on the 4th go, I hit up the mall 'cos I felt I deserved it.

4) We buy shit just for the hell of buying shit. I have one million journals, organizers and what-nots not because I need them, but because 'I think it's so cute and I can't pass it up'

5) We'd both make excellent personal shoppers for other people.

Of course, I'm not as outrageous as her when it comes to spending, I always pay my credit card bill on time, and I've never had the bank stalking me to pay an overdraft. LOL!!!! :D

Genesis

An Mgbeke is normally defined as a bush Igbo girl. I am proud to be an Original Mgbeke.

Since this is my first post, I guess I'll drop some teeny weeny facts about me.

1) I can not speak Igbo.
2) I have never fetched water from a stream.
3) I have never cooked with firewood.
4) I never ever slept on Mats.
5) I have never used a chewing stick.
6) I have never tied a wrapper to sleep.
7) I have never carried a bucket on my head.
8) I've never been to a farm to cut cocoyam.
9) I never wore my hair in the 'Carl lewis' style and rocked stonewash jeans.
10) Upon my arrival in America, I never went into Macdonalds and asked for 'Chicken and chips' or 'Eba and Egusi'

Regardless, I am STILL an Mgbeke and y'all can't tell me otherwise.

I hope that shed some light on who the girl is.

Till next time, peace and hair grease.
