Now
I'd tell U a few things about me. I work in the media, I am a hardworking and
most importantly, I'm a great friend and asset to many-yes, I'm humble like
that. Well, I may have to admit that a couple of things mentioned, say the
Samsung S3 may be solely self-serving. I hope by the time I'm done I'd be able
to convince you how the rest are for communal good.
1st
off, the MacBook pro would turn me into a mobile studio. I'd be able to edit
pictures, film and audio in a snap and also in style. Surely if I start working
& walking in style, some of you won't dare touch our friendship with a 10ft
pole, so this gift would be strengthening the bond we share.
As
a budding photographer, the 7D is a beauty to behold and shoot with. Imagine
all the pretty pictures I'd take of you, moments shared in our friendships
captured by this 7D cuttie and my, would we be on top of our social network
strata, with all the buzz our keek and instagram accounts will generate...yipee!
All thanks to the 7D.
Now
having worked hard through the year to be the great person that I am, surely I
deserve a break?! A vacation will be in order so why not send me to a choice
getaway, preferably out of the country. Not only would you get a happier friend upon return, the storyteller in me will
spring to life and tales shall be regaled over drinks and finger food in the
urban area apartment for a long time to come, after-all house-rent money would
turn to our entertainment allowance abi no be so?!
Now
by show of hands tell me someone here who isn't a (closet) shopaholic?! Seeing
as I see none, we are in agreement then that a new wardrobe is in order abi
when I appear on Bella Naija or ThisDay for fashion misconduct, would you want to bail me from the jail the
fashion police threw me in?! Aha, I dint think so :)
Now
I'm not old school like Gwen Guthrie-the NO ROMANCE WITHOUT FINANCE songstress-but
giving me cash would certainty oil the wheels of our vehicle called friendship.
Even the government got it right with its monetization policy implemented in
the civil service so why would you choose to stand aloof?!
You
see I didn’t ask for the keys to a Maybach Exelero, a Bugatti Veyron SS or an
Embraer Legacy 650 nor a slice of the Ronde Island among other things because I
am a practical and considerate friend. Now that I'm done dreaming up my
giftlist, let me go and eat my splendid sumptuous breakfast of Akamu and Okpa.
N.B:
“In reality, I’m grateful for the grace of seeing another year in my life and
this is my gift-list to myself, save for the smoking part.”
