I Believe In Miracles

Go Ebony It's your birthday *oh no not yet*... it's in a few days tho, on saturday to be precise. I have written my birthday wish list and have also decided to share. I've realised that the older I get, the less gifts I get. Thank God it hasn't resorted to no gifts at all but with the way its going I can only sigh. Really what's up with that?!? Are my friends and toasters broke or they are just being stingy?!? 

Not to worry people I've been praying for you lot because I want to get presents like I was 18 again.lol. I'm so thankful to God for the journey so far. To make things easier for y'all I have decided to post my wish list ;) :d

I am a gadget person or rather, I used to be...Need I say more...who doesn't want one?!? You can get one online by clicking www.apple.com

"Purity Spa is the place to relieve stress and tension. From pampering massage treatments to mini spa experiences, our treatments are designed to leave guests feeling pampered and in a state of total relaxation". Its my birthday and I want to be pampered. Wouldn't it be lovely to do the needful?!? To make a booking, please call Purity Spa on 020 7096 6241.

Awww I wouldn't have a list without a perfume in it. As some of you may know, I have a weakness for perfumes and wrist watches. 

A bottle of this 50ml (pls) will be great. Which brings me to upload the wristwatch I fancy :D. I have a red one, a silver and a gold one, on the road to the completion of my collection. 

Its Michael Kors and no, it's not the two wristwatches; one will be just fine.

Finally *drumroll please*

A luxury gift card (y) ;) not just from any store. Emphasis on the word "luxury"

That's about it for my birthday, isn't it such a short list?!? ;;). Like the title of this post I believe in miracles :)

Favourite Best Dates

Well hello there...! I was on a mini holiday; Fun, sunshine and more fun... anyways, its over now *holiday blues much* and it's left me dreaming about my next holiday and destination. Moving on, sequel to my previous post, below are the best dates ever which have been selected from the replies I received. May I add, I wouldn't hesitate to gloat about my own very best date :p 

'It was my birthday last year and I had been seeing my boyfriend for barely three months at the time. I obviously wasn't expecting anything grand seeing as it was all new and fresh. He gave me my gifts early that morning and went off to work. He's some sort a workaholic but on that day he was home by 6pm. He said to get dressed and we went to a restaurant on the sea...and watched the sun set *thanks to day light savings* we ate, talked and there were more gifts (cheesy much). I was just so impressed by his actions. He also got the live band in the restaurant to play me something. You just don't expect some things and I didn't expect that from someone I had only known for 4 months' 

'I went on a work trip to America for 2 weeks...and before the end of day 4 I was already cranky as these clients were super annoying. I coudn't wait to get back to the boo as the whole time difference thing wasnt working in my favour.... I mean, 'dude' can sleep to save a life so I was the one loosing sleep. Trust me, I was way past cranky and certainly beyond PMSing. On saturday I woke up early to call the boo to my surprise both his phones were off, he wasn't on skype, facetime or iChat. That happened for the whole of Saturday *you don't even want to imagine how upset I was* On sunday I called his mum and she knew not where he was yh yh say what you like but I was worried now. Anyways, my colleagues and a friend of mine in Jersey persuaded me to go for lunch with them on sunday and you know the rest but to cut it short the boo was there and he proposed.... My friend's fone kept ringing off the hook as everyone knew about this but me :( they all wanted to know if I said yes... errrrmm of course I did. Dinner was perfecto! I had my worst date with him when I farted and you cringed..I also had my best date with him and I look forward to spending everyday with him for the rest of my life :D ..Oh the wedding is in June' Ebony's Comment: Random but girl ur life is like the movies still :P'

'I went to spend the weekend at my boyfriend's house and on Friday night we had a take out then watched a movie and subsequently, went to bed. On Saturday we woke up and went to have breakfast at a pancake house (yes he pampers me and allows me to be lazy SOMETIMES not always). we came back home watched something and by 4ish I was guessing it was time for lunch so I was going to warm some of the leftovers from the night before and he said no. I relaxed while he made lunch - just putting this out there my boyfriend hardly ever cooks or should I be more specific and say he doesn't cook at all :). He knows how but he simply doesn't, so I was a bit shocked when he said he was cooking lunch... I was already scared of the taste but when they make an effort like that, its best you rather act excited than show your doubts. Anyhoo, he made some fried rice and chicken and "oh my!" the food tasted oh so well especially the chicken... I'm not even going to lie it was on point and lunch was like the 3rd date in 2 days but it was absolutely perfect. He's A* for effort and A** for taste made it the best indoors date for me... While I tried breaking his record on sunday morning with breakfast, it was ofcourse copied so the effect wasn't as good'

Drumroll for mine please...lol Although I was not proud to tell you which one of the worst dates was for me (hehehe); I wont even hesitate for this...you have to know the person it happened to. lol. My best date so far... hands down has to be horse riding in the stables at Dulwich... Just when you think guys are running out of ideas, just when you start questioning their creativity someone shocks you. They let you know that they are not only creative but they are creative lol u get what I mean right?!? And of all the dates my friends have been on, I still think MY horse riding was the best :p. Sorry I'm not saying the story :D cos it says best date and answer is 'horse riding'. I can say this though, the effort a guy puts makes all the difference. When he said horse riding I wasn't enthusiastic, in fact I was hoping he'ld cancel but when we got to Dulwich and we were on the horses, the talk, scenery, everything around was just wow! I was just like spontaneity is and can be great! Oh I typed in black this time 

Best Worst Dates

I'm smiling typing this blog...the sun must be shining outside..oh yes it is!!!

I'm also talking to a friend on the phone and I'm not concentrating...I've said "pardon" and "oh yh...I get" and randomly laugh and he still doesn't get that I'm not listening. I guess I might be good at multi tasking or my friend is not really bothered that I have asked him to repeat a sentence more than once...:D. No I' not mean, my friend would understand why I'm not listening I hope...

Anyways I was having a conversation with another friend and we were talking about worst and best dates ever and I thought 'why not blog it'. So I decided to ask my friends to tell me of their best and worst date experiences. I'll start with this 'worst' dates in this blog and would have a second part for best dates.

' I went on a date with a guy that had been on the radar for sometime...Ebony believe me when I say we went to a really fine restaurant on Baker Street. So obviously I pictured in my head that it would be an enjoyable date seeing as we were both dressed nice and the journey to our destination was pretty cool. Good music, we laughed, and talked. We got down at the car park and trust me I wasnt expecting it to be like the movies or like the old days where he opens the car door for you...but this brother started walking a bit ahead of me. I know I really looked lovely so why was he walking fast....We got to the restaurant and less than 20mins into the conversation he said "so why are you single"?!?..erm becos I am..problem?!? I thought as much.. Anyhoo brother started lamenting about his ex girlfriend and how he cant trust girls...girls are mean..girls cheat. I wasnt even gonna try to defend girls cos I knew right there and then there was no second or future dates. Struck me as a whiner, a cissy and someone with a whole lot of baggage and there's no way I'll be the baggage carrier'

'I was 19..I had just met this guy walking to the stores and I know I wasnt looking my best but he managed to get me with his words..he offered to drop me home and I said no..he seemed so impressed obviously 19 at the time meeting a 26 year old was a big deal and the comments that I was so naive were the only things that stuck. He asked me out on a date...stoked, I told my girlfriends even guy friends and all that cared to know. He picked me up at 7pm, ride was amaze balls for one hour we seemed to be going to a set restaurant...we got there and it was fully booked of course i wasnt embarrassed but I was feeling a bit weird like we seriously had to wait. We went back to the car where he started trying to kiss me almost immediately and feel on me..eurgh..the I was saved by the bell, my phone rang and my mum said she wanted me to meet and auntie somewhere *oh S***...he was soooo furious and kept saying arent I old enough blah blah blah!!! I figured when I was more mature that he knew the restaurant wasnt going to happen that's why he didn't book a table...but he also knew that I wouldn't go home with him so the car idea was his best bet! Worst date ever thank God for the mother's call!'

'I farted whilst on a 3rd date with this one guy....yh you can cringe again cos I just did replying you. But he's my baby now and we get married in June :p..That's what you call flaws and all but it was my worst date ever cos I couldnt bring myself to feel comfortable for the rest of the afternoon' *cringe*

'Worst date?? for real...the date never happened...he stood me up and I was all dressed up waiting for a call'

' I met this beaut when I was home for the holidays, when they say "gentlemen", believe me there are only few...there were no silly lines or comments just naturally natural which I totally digged....Anyhoo he asked what I wanted to do one night and my reply was I dunno...he asked if I had eaten and my reply was no cos i wasn't too hungry.....to which he said "cool! I know the best place"..got dressed and off we went. My gosh when I tell you it was one of them joints where you had to be a member I was most certainly impressed, at first I was like "ok not bad"..we got in sat down by the fish pond and ordered drinks and some fried snails and gizzard..."you are not too hungry right"?!? I replied "hmmnhmmn this should do' he said. One moment it was all smiles and laughter and before I knew it a rat ran across the room..I jumped up like "serious wtf??? a rat"?!?.. I didnt hesitate to express myself..he was so calm and said I was acting too stush...Yes I've seen a rat before but yo dude!!! in a restaurant errrr nah... I was put off by that and kept talking instead of eating or drinking..like for real what if they had loads of rats in the kitchen..Just as I was calm another fat one ran under our table and that was it for me... I screamed like someone who was mental..people were looking at me like I was weird and they were used to that stuff. I stood up and walked out...we argued the whole journey back and I went home asking everyone if I overreacted.. I don't know if thats what made our relationship dwindle but it was a contribution for sure'

I couldn't blog all I had but these I thought were quite hilarious...or rather funny! Btw My friend spoke for 26mins and I didnt have a clue what he was on about :(
