The Monkey, stones, bananas, apples nephew or niece story in the pool of water!

Before you officially block this blog as spam, humor me for a few minutes. I know the headline might look all psychotic but like I keep telling you (I know YOU don’t exist, but I have to sound like people read this blog so just work with me dear voices in my head) sanity is overrated. So today I attended an engagement party that made me realize that monkeys, stones, bananas, apples, nephew or nieces are all connected. This discovery should probably fall right next to my home boy’s (Albert Einstein) law of relativity. Since I am such a romantic (cough) allow me to vividly describe to you (there I go again  ) how it was. We are all in the house right (the engager and engagee’s house- ooh yes there are such words, en if u don’t like them well get your own words! judging people because of their creativity in word construction is against the constitution! I know my right…*deep breath*I should probably stop digressing). Each one of us has a lit candle, we (around 20 ladies and gentlemen) are all sited waiting for the engagee to come home to the engager who is on his knees with a ring on one hand, a paper where he has written his poem/proposal speech/prayer/spoken word/ and a pool of water inside the circle of love heart lighting candles. I wonder where the pool of water was coming from..mmmh. Now come closer and pay attention to what I am about to reveal to you. Evidence of the Monkeys- it is common knowledge that monkeys chatter a lot when they are excited; this was the case inside the house. There were chatters here there and everywhere. Love songs were being composed, written, rehearsed, and sung all in one sitting. This is to show without any reasonable doubt that there were monkeys in the building.

The stone by now if you are bright, which I know you might or might not be, already know was the one that was being held right above the pool of water (still don’t know where the pool of water came from or why the engager was kneeling in it). This was a moment of truth. All the monkeys in the building were relocated and there was deafening silence. The engagee had walked into the house and the engager froze in his knees (I looked at the pool of water and it had increased in volume- I still don’t get where the water is coming from and why I am the only one disturbed by it.). As the engagee goes on with his poem/proposal speech/prayer/spoken word/, I notice more pools of water all around me. Now this is really strange! How comes everyone is getting pools of water while I don’t have any. I wanted to lean over to the hunk who was sitted on my left but he was too busy capturing the moment so I try to focus on the main gig and forget about the pools that everyone else apart from the me and the hunk had gotten.

On the wall were these words ‘MARRY ME’ they were embedded with banana peels and slices of apples. Now I know why the monkeys were chattering, they probably were looking for where the bananas had been thrown. Very innovative I must say, while one would only thing of bananas and apples as just fruits others see the potential they have to spark up a romantic mood. The engagee stood no chance with the engager kneeling in the pool of water, having his heart felt feelings expressed in a poem/proposal speech/prayer/spoken word/, balloons everywhere and pools of water everywhere.

The Nephew/ niece is still a grey area hence I choose the fifth on this subject. From this we learn the following
1. Engagement parties are happy, and I like happiness and warm fuzzy feelings
2. People are not bothered about pools of water that appear from nowhere (I know this will haunt for life. Thank God for my over paid shrink who sits down with me every Monday to ask me what I have been up to and how certain situations make me feel.)
3. Monkey, stones, bananas, apples nephew or niece are related.

Who He Is

In his arms my safe haven is evoked, and in his eyes my future flashes
With one look, I forget to breath and with one touch the world come to a HALT
The sound of his voice turns the thunder into a squeak, and the same voice brings serenity
Two words in my heart, three words take my breath away, but four words will change my life forever.
Newness in every meeting, fondness in every character!


I thought I had it all figured out. All the cards had been laid down and the stage was set
A chapter of this life had come to an end, so I thought
Till I walked into the room full of you!
Many walls you have had to tear down and many more you have built to keep us in
A kingdom is coming up, let the world know! Let all know that in him I have found me.


In his heart my home is made, and in my mind his tent is pitched
Selflessness and humility are pillars of his character, and salvation his way of life
To know him one needs to seek the author of his salvation, and to love him means to give all
With a smile on his face and warmth in his eye ice melts away like snow in summer
There is no room for skeletons or hushed emotions for he loves me as I am!


In the raging sea he is the sound of calmness,
In my heart he is the king and in my mind he is the constant
Through his love I experience God’s love and in his character I see God’s faithfulness
He is more than a hero, more than any imagination, more than a phantom, more than a lover,
He is more than a leader, more than a friend, more than a companion- he is all of these
He is the one whose voice sends chills down my spine!
