The Best Things in Life are Free.......

I forget how tiring the festive season can be especially when I have to start cracking my head for what gifts to get my loved ones. It's been a busy but fantastic last 1 month for me. I have gained a valuable friend and I can't thank him enough for returning laughter into my life. I tell people all the time that I hardly come across peeps that make me laugh, well this guy sure does and with so much ease as if he were designed to just always make sure I have at least a smile. His genuine heart is reminiscent of someone that was once dear to me and now I know how to embrace it better rather than be pessimistic about it. I am very appreciative of him and the free gift he brought back into my life. He has left a refreshingly pleasant song in my world and my prayer is that I will be dancing to this new tune for as long as the Lord will permit.

Sometimes we meet people and start to wonder why we even allowed any sort of frog to breathe near us let alone speak. But hey our stories will always differ so no need questioning one's self on why it is only you that keeps meeting one frog or the other. I have so much positive things going for me and perhaps that's where I find the strength to laugh at the comedy that some of those frogs brought my way. Ooo before I forget, congrats to "Church guy" who apparently just tied the knot. May God bless that union and I can only pray you have genuinely resolved your issues. If not, God knows best.

I am ending the year on a high and I can only pray this will be the story for all. If not don't despair cos if you look hard enough you will still see the light shining at the end of the tunnel. It has been a wonderful year and I am looking forward to what lies ahead. Thanks to all for taking time out to share in my stories and the stories of others I wrote about. Which reminds me, a male friend of mine asked me to be an agony aunt for him. Basically he started dating a girl a year ago and just like most relationships they had their down moments where he wasn't so sure they belonged together. On one of those occasions when things were not so bright for them, he started talking to an old friend who is a female and she informed him that she was single and had the hots for him. They started talking more even though he had told her about his girlfriend but this old female friend didn't seem to care much for that.

The old female friend insisted on coming down to spend the weekend with him as she is based far away from him. Well his girlfriend is also far far away so he thought what the heck, no harm done by letting her come down. The weekend ended on a cool and exciting note for him but a week later his actual girlfriend and him made up and he started feeling bad about hosting this other female. Stylishly he began to reduce his phone calls with the aim of trying to disappear fully from that scene. Unfortunately for him, the other girl was already hooked and she sure wasn't ready to let him go. Well now she has asked to spend the festive season with him and because he conveniently hasn't told her that he has made up with his girlfriend, she expects him to be over the moon about them spending the time together. The thing is his girlfriend will be out of town during this season but he says his guilt is already consuming him so he refuses to carry on seeing or speaking to this girl on the side.

Although the truth will set you free it doesn't mean that those involved won't get hurt. Ahh well he knows what needs to be done so I really don't need to say anything. Guess sometimes we get side tracked in life but it's how you get back on your track that matters. Some people never get back and carry on living foolishly.

Have a Lovely and Prosperous festive season...........

I rekon he shud just tell her that his girlfriend already said she wanted to spend the holidays with him and he cant say no...in anycase she asked first....ok this may be a lie but it will get the ball rolling. then she will ask..." oh so are you still seeing her".....then he can be like....well we never really stopped seeing eachother we have been having downs...but he still has to do right by her...u know the usual bollocks.....BTW ur friend is a FROG....at least from the other girls perspective.....which makes me think....about all the frogs in this blog....they are probably princes to other people!! Life abi!!

Bobo should 'break up' with the other female jo!! He sounds like he wants to eat his cake and have it. Body no be firewood so he should stop courting disaster.
He can confess to his babe if he wants ot but he should wait till after xmas. No point ruining her holidays for her.

hey figurella,

your friend is a FROG- similar to one or two of the frongs you've described earlier- thing is you got his own side and now you're making the girl on the side 'seem like the one who is hooked'.... we don't know what your friend had said to her plus even you admit he hasnt told her that he got back with his girl!!! na wa o- he shouldn't take this deceit into the new year- slimy frog!!

shhhh...cough...wink...nudge... said...

Whether he breaks up with Guy Snatcher or not it’s apparent that her holiday is going to be ruined either way.
Your friend sims to have made up he’s mind as to who he wants to be with so I say he should be honest with GS so she knows where she stands.
Its her choice if she want to stay home and mop or go out and get over him.
Btw, what your friend did was wrong.
Agreed she chased him (according to your story) but he went along with it while he was still in a relationship. But then again on the other hand, that girl knew he had a gf so she knew what she was getting into. So I guess afówófá is in order.
Still, your friend should have acted more honorably by bin single 1st before getting involved with another girl.
