Love at first photo...


"I knew i loved you before i met you" words to  a song you've never heard but they say it all for me when it comes to you.The first time i saw you is nothing to write about..because it was just a simple picture that captured my heart.It took a while before i got to meet you..and when that happened i was just another stranger getting to know you.It  took a while for you to even like me but i enjoyed every minute of it .You are the sweetest little thing..stubborn  too!!The way you say my name, not even the best linguist could pronounce it the way you do!! "Tantine Ifete" 3 years have now passed, and all i keep thinking about is how much you are growing up to be one smart little precious girl.I miss you, i miss those nursery rhymes you danced and sung to, i miss that smile that always lit up my day, i miss those  tantrums you threw at meal times, i simply miss my Berry.

I fell in love with you too, Bella, the minute i saw your picture..now i know how it feels like to be in love with more than one person. It's the best feeling...and loving u both has shown me how much my heart has  grown and how love can grow so strong .You two are so different and yet so  alike but my love for u is the same, my Berry and my Bella.
Sweet Bella, your  simple quiet soul had me at" hallo"..its the way u pick up that remote control thinking it's a phone so that u can whisper the words "hallo",  and those moments when your pensive gaze makes me think that maybe there's wisdom far beyond those teeny tiny eyes.

Now there are 3 of you in my life,and this love at first photo keeps happening...and in a few years you'll read this and probably ask yourselves  what your aunt was rumbling about but before these words get nonsensical, these next few words are should explain my rumblings:

My heaven on earth, the one gift i can never take back, my family.God keeps sending little angels to my heaven,and you are the 3 little  angels i now  have.I never got to meet you when you arrived, all i have are your baby pictures that make part of my heart's photo album.I am so grateful and thankful for you, words can't even describe it...i keep wondering how you'll be in the next few years, and pray that i get to  see the beautiful souls you grow to become.I may not be there with you as often as i want, but all i know is that my life is  more blessed now that you are around.Not a day goes by without saying thank you, thank you for my little nieces and nephew, thank you that i have new angels in my world! Love at first photo, that's how i know you are heaven sent!

The Man That Made Me Believe In Impossibilities

How do I write about a man whose loud presence can’t be ignored? How do I begin to describe a man whose life should be written down in volumes of books, a man whose battles and achievements could literally make you wonder why you have never tried out that daredevil in you? A man whose blind faith and roaring spirit will leave you believing that anything is possible, as long as you just do it! I have never written down anything much about my father, mostly because words won’t do him justice and because you need to experience him to actually know who he is. He is tough, he is loud, he is sharp and witty, he never gives up and he is simply my papa. I know I will never get it right when it comes to the adjectives that could describe papa, mostly because he is more than words. He’s the man who’s taught me to live in the moment, because we can’t really trust the future. A man who’s taught me to be witty, because sometimes you have to outdo the book smarts to survive. A man who’s ta...

The good,the bad the ugly…the beautiful years of my life!

Happy new year!!!Two weeks down the line, and I still can’t predict how my 2013 will go down. I bet that’s the exciting part about new years( except from the annoying fact that I still   keep writing down the dates as 2012). Took me a while to write my first 2013 post,mostly cause I   had a cliché   idea of writing something about fresh starts,but I won’t take that turn.New year means a lot of things not just new beginnings, it’s also about rolling with the days as they come even when everything seems to stay the same, year in year out. Above all I can’t deny the fact that am alive, who knows what could have happened and nothing makes my heart more grateful   to my God for that blessing. So my first post this year is a lyrical piece written and   dedicated to my 2012 memories and 2013 ‘s unpredictable events. Two decades,that’s how long    I waited for you… If I could wait this long,then what could   possibly go wrong? I knew so...

Start Acting, Stop Typing

June, how I've waited for you! 23 days down with  30 minutes to spew out my thoughts to the world. Here we go... I never like to talk about my life in here, instead I only add the bits I feel would implicate me less in this era of  'hey guys, welcome to my channel'. As much as I want to keep things mysterious to spice up my online persona, I feel like a lot can go wrong with an audience that hides behind screens. I would rather take my chances on being as evasive as possible. Yes, I'm admitting  to my cowardice.  However, I will defend my stance by saying that whatever thoughts I type in here, are rarely inspired by my own life. Rather, they have everything to do with how I perceive the world (people/places/things/ANYTHING)  around me. That's the inspiration. What I hide  is under lock and key in  a mind vault labelled "PRIVATE, for Yvette's crazy thoughts only". The world around me and how I would like to change it through the words I share is wh...
