What will become of me?

I wish i were psychic, wish i could see into the future & see what would become of me. Right now i have a job that pays the bills (cant complain too much, cos some dont have jobs) .
I've been going on interviews here & there and its looks like i'll soon be offered a job @ a multi-national company. I dont know what to do! Do i give up my radio dj/presenter job & go in work in the corporate world? I know the multi-national will pay heck of a lot better BUT im not so sure i want to leave my present job.

I'd really like to work for MTV or E (THE ENTERTAINMENT STATION) .........I dont know what to do!!!!

My parents think the radio job is not a real job, they always say "Your mates are making millions! Buying shares and doing big things"

One of my friends thinks its " a waste of time".
BF thinks i should "Follow my heart & do what makes me happy"- I think his advice is the best!

However, how do i do what i like if what i like doesnt pay enough? Help!

Random Ramblings............

I went to the concert!!! Free of charge!!! (Yay!!!) I got a press pass. Im sure u guys got the gist already so i wont bore u with anymore gist except that no one mentioned that Busta said we have the best canabis in Naija and he proceeded to smoke it on stage. Same with Snoop.
@ Work.............nothing much going on, im on the midday shift (11am - 4pm) I hate it!!! By the time i get out of work, the day is gone! The shift itself is soo boring & laid back.
There's this white/lebanese/arab guy (IM NOT RACIST!!!)that really got on my nerves a few days ago (will elaborate later) but im prepared to show him pepper( in a professional way of course) He'll never forget me (Touching index finger to tongue & pointing it to the sky) Good nite folks!

"..................arch ur back............smile...... try to look sexy at the same time..........Purrffffect!!!!."

Hello People!!! Im happy to announce that the photo shoot was on thursday..........it took a loooong time and im glad its over with! Cos i fretted and panicked for days.........
Let me explain (in case u dont understand).......Im a tomboy! I pick comfort over fashion ALMOST everytime. I live in jeans, baby tees and tank tops, & maybe the occasional skirt. I dont usually put on makeup (foundation is the enemy!!!) I prefer just a little lip gloss and mascara .

Anyways................the makeup artist started applying the makeup around 5pm, she wasnt done until past 6pm. I was so restless (cant sit still for long!!) I had never put on so much makeup in my life! It was worth it though!! My co-workers (especially the guys) kept teasing!
The dress i wore was thankfully supplied by a designer called Mya (Designer of the year 2003). It was very girly, pink, long, low neck (which i have no problem with! but i know my parents will freak!!!) . It looked good sha. Isaac Emokpae (I hope i spelt it right) was the photographer........it was really nice. I just have to say that posing isnt easy oh!

It takes a very confident and secure person to do a photo shoot and not feel foolish/silly while posing and trying to find the right facial expression. I didnt know whether to smile showing my teeth or not, whether to scowl.............i took a bunch of shots..........I dont even know which one will be used. Im going to see the photographer on monday to get them (if i like them, ill post one)

As for the concert, the tickets were reduced to 10,000 per day from 25,000. I still am reluctant to pay that amount of money! Im hustling to see if i can get a press pass............................(to be continued)

Shame on me................................................

Yes I know, Shame on me for not posting a blog in a while. Shame on me for not going on that diet i was supposed to go on , shame on me for not going on that workout program that i specially organized for myself at Ikoyi Club, Shame (low-down dirty shame!) on me for having UNHOLY THOUGHTS about other guys cos BF hasnt been in town for almost a month.

I was tempted! But i did nothing!!! Im a good girl (what did u expect?)
Speaking of BF, a whole lot has happened.............but i decided not to blog about HIM all the time!
My life has been centered around work..work... work! Ive been busy doing commercials and hypes (& getting paid !!!)
Ive also been busy trying to see if i can tickets to the big concert (Jay Z, Missy ,Beyonce, Ciara, Busta, Snoop & Mary J.
Then a womens mag wants to do a profile on me..................im running around trying to get something "stylish" to wear for the photo shoot......................See ya
