Girlfriends?

I have a pretty roller-coaster week/weekend. It was supposed to be our 'Spring Break' but it happens to also be 'Reading Week' given that i have two final exams this week that constitute up to 50% of my course grade and three reports due. I shall survive, I can do all things through Christ who Strengthens me. When I'm really stressed out, I make sure to take breaks from studying to relax. I did this and stumbled upon the video and pictures I took earlier this month. It was my friend's birthday and we were compiling the usual birthday video for Facebook. Thing is, the dynamic trio, my sister Ifie, my friend Deola and I did not want the usual boring... talking message (no offense) lol. So we spiced things up and dressed up in retro costumes and danced a bit. You can say we went all out.

There's nothing like having girlfriends you can be silly with. Personally, I don't understand it when girls don't have girlfriends and blame it on the 'drama' girls have. They choose to be 'one of the guys'.It's something I've never been able to rationalize somehow. Myquestion is, who do you talk to when you have that 'period pimple' (not to be graphic or anything...lol)? And when you go shopping, or as simple as when you study.  The three of us have decided to give our first daughters different variations of the same name. Let's hope the husbands agree! haha! All I can say is, I LOVE MY GIRLIES, even the ones not in Canada especially best friends and lovers in England.

A few days a ago I chatted with my 'primary school best friend' and all we kept saying was how we missed each other. 10 years later, missing communication and we still love each other. People come and people go but what matters is what happens when they ARE in our lives. Here's to the girls with girlfriends all over the world and to the ones still searching, you'll find them soon. The closeness cannot be substituted. AMEN!

BEFORE









AFTER - Pure Fun

I hope your week is WAY better than mine. I'll be fine!
Yours Truantly,

lol, I tell my best boyfriend about my period, infact he's the one that reminds me that my period is coming, and he's a straight, engaged boy....We've been friends since we were 7 in chrisland primary school, I'm that girl that complains about girl drama, my girlfriends are my sisters

Anon::: looool. Are you serious? lol. That's a pretty cool dude. Girlfriends as sisters works too. That's my twin (light-skinned babe) in the picture. The point of my post is lack of female interaction may be pretty detrimental and somewhat restricting. I'm guessing, not like I'm a professional psychologists but from experience.
