No Place For The Young- We Dey Here Some!!!

Follow @Qwophicedi

It was one fine Saturday evening and was so bored at home and decided to go sit out somewhere and have some drinks.

It wasn't a new thing to me as I have always had alone 'chillaxing' sessions overtime. Prior to this decision, I had heard of this joint on the Spintex road which was fast gaining popularity.

CHEERS

I then told myself to go check it out for myself. I am sure a few of you who live around the Nungua-Spintex Road and its environs will at this point have an idea of where I am talking about. Well sorry not to disappoint you, but won't talk about the place and what it looks like. This post will be about some observations I made during my very first and at this point being last.

Immediately I got there, I noticed a few things but thought it was one of those days that young ladies wanted to go out and make a statement with their clothing. So I at that point just closed my eyes to it and went ahead to find myself a seat so I can place my order for a drink. In looking out for a seat, I heard my name from afar, I turned and saw three friends I know very well who - hear this- doesn't live anywhere near this neighborhood but had heard of the joint for the very reasons I was naive about and had come around to see for themselves and if possible transact some business (You get what I mean).

Moving forward, I joined my friends who already had a table to themselves. We exchange the initial pleasantries  then a seat was arranged for me. We immediately started a conversation where my pals started teasing me of also coming to the joint to do whatever they had heard of and also do whatever was to be done. We all joked about it as I tried to convince them it was my first time and had no idea of the attributes of the said place we were. But you know how boys roll on stuffs like these, they wouldn't be bothered by my explanations whatsoever. I then gave up the convincing and there the waiter came around for my order. I placed it and we continued our conversations.

With those friends I had on that table, there wasn't any topic we didn't talk about. We spoke about the economy, work and how the salary nowadays doesn't foot the bills fully, relationships, rental costs, marriage, girlfriends, and many more.

During our chats, one thing was constant, young ladies with exposing body features, some close to no attire at all hovered around, walking forth and back, some in company of two, whiles some walked alone on the road path as well as through the fun lovers and if I can say on lookers by the side of the road where this pub is located. I then asked my colleagues around what was happening here with all these girls? They laughed very loud and asked me if I was a serious student? The next thing that followed was, why would they move all that far from where they lived to come have drinks here. Explaining they had more places closer to them to go do same so I should open my eyes. They expressed shock at my naivety whiles some of them stressed I was faking up not knowing what happened here every evening. A few jokes and teasing went on and we continued our hangout session.

I decided to shine my eyes as we mostly used it down here and observe for myself. Once every moment I turned, I found either a group of girls with the initial clothing exposé attributes around. Some had cigarettes, smoking it out like some chimney releasing smoke into the air, some being called by young men and some old as such hoping to do business. It then made sense to me the reason why the pub had the huge number of people trooping in and out of that place. 

I guess by now you'll be wondering how all these notes corresponds to my caption to this blog post. Hopefully the next paragraph should get you to it.

The movements of these girls drew so many attention and ours too, obviously in the case of my friends and at that moment my eyes viewing pleasure. Heads definitely rolled from left to right,  back and forth just to catch a glimpse of the various girls around parading their assets and waiting to be called on. In all these head turnings, I spotted some other different group of ladies hanging around in their own small corner is I can say so ( reason they weren't many and were not hovering around like the younger ones).

CHEERS TO LIFE

The spectacle that drew my attention were these elder errm let me say grown women also standing there to also compete with these young girls for the same intentions. Interesting enough,  these grown women, were very different comparing how they looked as compared to their your younger competitors. They were dressed very differently covering up mostly but with those clothes that were suggestive. As the youngest ones exhibited how hot and 'hard' they were by showing off their tattoos on obscure parts of their bodies, exposing of the cleavage, butt lines, smoking here and there to draw the needed attention,  the much older ones, had positioned themselves in a way that proposed to the folks around to also have a look in at them.

I drew my colleagues attention to what I had unraveled for them to observe and confirm whether what I had seen was indeed true or I was reading the wrong meanings into that. Well after a while, they confirmed in the affirmative.  It actually drew some laughter from the guys as they expressed what they were doing there with such clothing.

As the night progressed, it looked like the battle between the young and old was been won by the young ones. The younger ones had more approaches whiles the older ones stood there watching on. A friend made a cracking remark saying, 'Chale people need young blood , you say what?' We joked over these words contributing various sentiments around it for a while.

Well soon I felt satisfied and had enjoyed myself to a point where I thought it was time for me to get back to my bed.

Life indeed is a great one. Look at it in a way that will make your soul appreciate life as it comes. Till my next post, thanks for stopping by to read your time away on my blog.

How I Spent My New Years' Day

Follow @Qwophicedi

And in a twinkle of an eye, 2013 was over and 2014 was ushered in.

It happened that at the transition period, I found myself in church. We had some friends from far and near who worshiped with us into the new year.

Church was done with and it was time to fratenise. Met some new people and reconnected with a few that I had not seen all year through, some of them were out of the country, some out of town due to job and many other circumstances. We shared some jokes and spoke words into each others lives wishing each and everyone the best of the new year.

It was time to get back home to catch some sleep before dawn broke. I reached Nungua at about 3:39 am and had a call from a very good friend asking me to show up immediately at his new year party. He did the same thing last year and it looks like that is his chosen date for any party of a sort from him. I so turned up and it was also a fun time to be remembered. Here i also met some new people and once again reconnected with some old friends. We had interacted on so many issues throughout the year, from social programs to politics, to religion, to marriage and many topics you can think about.

I decided to leave the venue to go back home at around 4:25 am. In as much as I was enjoying the convos with my folks , I was also in one way being entertained in a lengthy chat with a lady friend somewhere in Europe. We shared how the day went, what we all did on that day and what I was doing at the particular moment up and not sleeping. Well that kept me company till I reached home. I decided to catch some sleep as wanted and the next thing bam, I was drowned in my sleep.

Fast forward, some hours later I was up and decided to clean and fix my room a little. I swept, packed a few things up that were not lying in it right place, took out a few cabwebs, laid my bed with a new bed sheet, and dustered my closet. I was exhausted after that and took a short nap after. Later it was midday, so I grabbed some snack and guess what it was, Vita Milk Chocolate and fruit cake. After enjoying that, I went to the showers and sat down to have a plan on how to enjoy the day, either to go out or still stay indoors resting. So I made a few phone calls and some friends came around my house. Boom, the merrymaking had began, a caucus one too ofcourse. 

Some hours later, it was time to go watch the EPL game between the club I support, Tottenham Hotspurs and Manchester United. Instead of watching it at home, we agreed on going to a sports bar and pub to watch it so we can have our freedom to rant and make all the funny comments that comes with watching a football(soccer) game. We then made it to town and when we arrived, we were about 13  minutes late into the game. I was a bit relaxed and was seriously sitting on hooks just waiting for us to go ahead first. Because with our current run of performances, conceding first would have dumpened our spirits of a comeback into the game. Yeeesss!! Was my initial reaction when Adebayor nodded the ball at the back of the Man United net. In fact I was the only true true if I may say Spurs fan in the pub, the rest surely were United haters who just wanted them to loose.

So the game ended 2:1 in favour of my club Spurs and it was all smiles for me and the match day haters of Man United. We hanged around the pub for a little while and we decided to change locations. We visited an eatery joint had some meal and it was about time to call,it a day. On my way home I met a friend who I spoke to earlier at the crossover service. He had wished me a happy new year and was again wishing me for the second time in just one day. It was interesting for me because I had also encountered the same thing some hours back when a female friend also wished me twice on different occasions on the same day.

In all, it was a great day fun filled. I enjoyed every bit of it, I certainly left a few things since I don't want to take all of your time. This is my first blog post for 2014, so I am sure going to be here. Come around my blog often, because I will be updating it with interesting lifestyle post. I love to blog if I have the time.

Wish all my followers and regular visitors from all over the world to my blog the best of 2014. Wish you all have a good one and wish you well in all endeavors. May all your dreams and aspirations be manifested. Believe in yourself and keep pushing till you exhaust all possibilities. It shall be well folks.

HAPPY NEW YEAR !!! CHEEERRRRSSSS!!!
