Happy Birthday Love.....

 My Love.....

Past few months have been nothing but extraordinary.

Brief Online chatting has turned into intensive whole wide world love affair, and only person I can thank for that is you. We both are partners in crime, but without you we would not be where we are at this stage in life

I remember our first encounter. I knew nothing about you, but I knew you will be my person sooner or later. I knew that those lips of yours will be mine to kiss and eyes of yours to stare  into to will be there for ever for me to stare into....... And I am so happy- 5 months later forever is still on.

It is not all cotton candy and marshmallows. it is not all rainbows and sunshine... But it is real. More real than anything I have ever had in my life. You always say, it is me who made it happen, but it is both of us, who are making an effort to keep fire burning.... It takes 2 to tango... our eyes met and our hearts melted.... and our souls intertwined....  there was that magic moment, I still to this day can not explain how... but ...  it was meant to happen ... and it did...

 There ain't marshmallows without crumbling graham crackers and no rainbows without rain and smiling sun....

But once rain passes, we see the rainbows  and butterflies and sunshine once again and  concentrate to what is worth and what is not worth holding onto...


You are my everything.
You are my happy place
You are what everybody is searching for, but only few find.  And in you I found peace. And I want to keep it ...



Our adventures so far... From CHina to California.... .    for you from California to CHina... Then  again, from CALI to China for you, and for me from CHINA to different CHINESE city... and now.. our  latest destination.. From China to Lagos.....   I feel sad this leg is coming to an end... but      In couple of months few more amazing adventures are awaiting us....

There is so much more to come for us, but one thing I know for sure is- You have changed everything I know about love... You have made me believe in magic i thought did not exist....  Keep believing, and never give up ....  Best is yet to come .. and it is because you are here next to me .. My love, my everything.....


Words can't describe , what i feel for you...  SOmetimes silence is better.......


 Forever yours... Lady D.

I miss China, I miss usa, I miss Estonia... I miss freedom to do what I wanna do..when I wanna do.. But I am content.

 I can not address enough how amazing Nigeria , Lagos and its surrounding areas actually are. It is different kind of beauty, and not everybody will survive here. It takes a strong person to adjust in here, and I have adjusted.. I would not mind living here for long term. I tell you honestly, I have no fear.  I feel like, I have been here for a long time, and I still don't have enough experiences to actually tell you I HAVE BEEN TO NIGERIA.   I feel flat at times, because, I know there are adventures awaiting for me, but  because my amazing boyfriend, I am taking a huge step back and listen to him.  I don't want to put my life in harms way in any damn way, so I decide to stay indoors, or walk to work, or drive around with our driver. 

I am not complaining, but adventurer in me- is not satisfied... 

BUT on a great note.. We have made amazing friends here.  We have experienced Nigeria the way we did not expect. We went to parties we  just went WOW, but it is overdone... 

 I miss good western food.. I tell you honestly..People in CHINA should be happy.... Western restaurants there are amazing compared to Lagos area...  I aint lying..  

Also, every time we go out K gets little stressed..  And I understand why.  People get kidnapped, car jacked, robbed,  whatever all the time. ANd we have been lucky...  And I hope we will stay lucky for days to come. 

 AND NOW.... 10 more days here... 10 more days and I will be Back in mhm.. and he will be back in mhmh...

 I already miss him... I already feel like  I want to cut my trip to mhm short,and fly to where he is... 

But one thing I know.. I will be back in Nigeria...   YOu have to come here to see this country. eat food, attend parties, see how poor live how rich live and make up your own mind about WHY PEOPLE HERE ARE THE WAY THEY ARE....

 If I was Nigerian...  

i'd do what they do..

Life ain't easy here...  Everybody tries to hustle...  THose who have get more, and those who don't loose what they have... SO never stop trying and dreaming...

Keep pushing... 

About to start not give a fuck...

I'm been In Lagos since 27th of  April.  For me I love it. I have nothing to complain about- besides being 200 % handicapped.    China compared to lagos was FINE. I still love it, but I miss my freedom.   Every day I have been warned by people that I should be careful, and not walk into certain streets. every day I am been schooled about  being careful, and if I DO decide to go about on my own, I should not ask for directions incase I get lost, because if I do ask directions, someone might see me as a Commodity , and will lead me to kidnappers, and will get their cut... Whatever. I am about to give up an kidnap myself, because I don't understand how people will survive living this way....

I just went to balcony, and heard whole bunch of screams from street nearby...  Meaning strike about gas prices is on roll.. I don't even want to know how dangerous it might be out there. Facebook is blocked,  and I have a feeling it will be blocked till this Strike here is over....

I don't know what might happen tomorrow, but today I am ok...  and will try to keep me as safe as possible... But this country is unpredictable...   Just going to hope for the best, and this shall too pass.

Naija adventures...

Sorry, I have not been active, but everything has been crazy over here... Work, maintaining relationship,  electricity issues, keeping myself safe, quality time... Kory still calls it vacation, but there is nothing about vacation past couple of months.. It has been constant work.. He has to snap out of it, and call it what it is.

I tell you honestly... End of the day.. I just want to fly to USA, and shower there, and then fly back...    But I am who I am, I am used to less, and there is nothing to complain about. In the end of the day, we got few hours of electricity, gas stow with tank,  little bit of running water, clothes to wear and roof over our head..   I can handle it well.. no wahala.....

What is love....

I have  been in Lagos now for about 2 weeks with my partner in crime.... One of the reasons I have not been blogging, is because I did not want to blog on fresh emotions.  Meaning.. OMG OMG OMG-- I am finally In Nigeria, I am finally in COuntry I want and need to be.  I was  hoping this feeling shall pass, but it has not. I am still  feeling as excited as I arrived on my first day.  But here are challenges  for me being here, and sometimes I feel like I am burden. I feel like I am dependent, and have to calculate every one of my steps... NOT IN A BAD way, but in a way to stay and be safe.... I can't even walk to gym on my own, because what might happen to me...  I am commodity.... I am person of interest, and I am something, someone can make money of off. BUT.. I am not letting that dim my light.... never...
 I am very independent person in general, and like to find my own way, but first time in my life I feel like, I have to be careful.  and I am.

But same time , everything is great over here... :) I am safe, I am with person I am supposed to be, and I would not want it any other way.....

Power to love....

GREETINGS FROM LAGOS, NIGERIA

I  have been in Nigeria in about 12 days. This experience is incredible.  My man keeps asking me , if I want to go back to la, and I'm like, no way. NO WAY, I want to leave right now. i don't have enough stories to tell. Something tells me, I have to stay here for a long time, ... 

I feel like I am at home. it is hard to describe why, or how, but one thing I know,  I feel the best I have ever felt.  I have no longing for something else, And I am not in a hurry anymore..

my mind is at peace and my heart is happy..
