I have been looking forward to
this Christmas season like my life depended on it! Two work days and the
weekend entirely to me! Absolute bliss! My plans for the holiday are pretty
simple! Sleep, eat, watch TV, more sleep, more food, more TV, more drinks and
some more sleep! The past two weeks leading up to the Christmas break has been
the most hectic I have experienced. The traffic in Lagos especially to and from
the Island to the mainland has been gangster, added to the fact that I get to
go back to work right after the Christmas weekend *inserts sad face* you can
only imagine my joy to have four days to myself!

Not to be a bore though, I do
like to have some fun, especially doing what I enjoy and possibly exploring new
terrains in the fun department. It was also a great coincidence that much of the shows and
events I had planned to attend this Christmas season were all happening before
the 25th! As though the stars had prior knowledge of my plans to
sleep through the Christmas holiday… (Thanks Big G! *hugs*).
First up on my list of shows to
attend was “Rhythm Unplugged”, the Pepsi sponsored musical concert showcasing Nigerian
artists with some dose of comedy. Since the inception of the show about ten years ago, I have only
been once and was looking forward to this season. If only show organizers would
ditch the “African time” mentality I most likely may have enjoyed the show a
lot more…It’s really rude to keep people waiting for 3 extra hours before show time... I still don’t understand the
rationale behind keeping people well behind schedule. Anyway, the highlight of the show for me was meeting TV
host and On Air Personality, Ik Osakioduwa whom I still have a personal vendetta with for being such a fabulous TV host! Lol! He’s such a bubbly personality!

I had also planned to see one of
the 11 shows lined up for “Saro the Musical 2” a Nigerian theatre based musical play
featuring some of the finest talents from drama, music, dance and the arts. So off we went for the premier show on the 23rd of December and I must confess that this is one
of the best shows I have attended till date. Gosh! Nigeria has got some serious
talent! Who would have thought that theatre plays in Nigeria could be that
captivating! Every bit of the show was a pleasure to watch. We were grinning from
ear-to-ear all through the show…

I just might be motivated by the weekend to try one more adventure before I get thrown right back to work mode! lol!
What are your plans for this Christmas? If you are an adventurous mind
like me (well I tend to think I am! lol) that loves and appreciates the arts, Saro the Musical 2 is the show to
see this Christmas! Fully endorsed by me!! Lol! There will be seven more shows leading up to the end of the season from now till the 28th
of December so run off and get your tickets and thank me later! *big grin*
Till next time, eat moderately, have a very merry Christmas and enjoy the good tidings that come with the season!
Toodles!!
Kechy!

Obviously you plan to in four days vex and sleep all the sleep you've not slept all this while. That's always the plan when one manages to get sometime off work. Until you resume on Monday morning and realize you ended up turning up throughout your time off and actually 'somehow' didn't go through with your plan to hibernate. Then sleep will suddenly start catching you at your desk. Then its back to pretending to have a runny tummy so you can go to the toilet and get quick power naps at strategic intervals. Sigh...being an adult sucks. Thank God for Christmas. Merry Christmas Kechy :*
