Hi, dear music lovers!

I feel glad to make it to another week of the vibes web 3 music competition. A big kudos to everyone keeping the vibe on in this wonderful community.


For my entry this week, I made a cover of a song by the legendary Bob Marley titled "Three Little Birds". I got inspired to sing this song in my low moment, I was actually in a moving commercial vehicle, feeling down when this song began to air through the stereo, and some how, I felt better, so I hope this song does the same to anyone going through similar phase, **_Don't worry, every little thing will be alright_**

Why worry over what you have no control over, worry doesn't solve a problem, rather causes more, so be happy, do your best, leave the rest and keep hoping.

Don't worry about a thing 'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright" Singing, "Don't worry about a thing 'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright!"

Rise up this morning, smiled with the rising sun Three little birds pitch by my doorstep Singing sweet songs of melodies pure and true Saying, "This is my message to you-ou-ou"

Singing, "Don't worry about a thing 'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright" Singing, "Don't worry about a thing (Don't worry) 'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright!"

Rise up this morning, smiled with the rising sun Three little birds pitch by my doorstep Singing sweet songs of melodies pure and true Saying, "This is my message to you-ou-ou"

Singing, "Don't worry about a thing (Worry about a thing, oh) 'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright (Don't worry) Singing, "Don't worry about a thing (I won't worry) 'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright!" Singing, "Don't worry about a thing 'Cause every little thing is gonna be alright (I won't worry)...

Hello music lovers, glad to make it to the 34th week of the Vibes web3 music competition, kudos to everyone keeping the Vibe alive in this wonderful community, oh wow, we are already in the 34th week.


For my entry this week, I decided to sing a cover of the legendary John Legend's timeless classic, "All of Me." There's something always refreshing about this song whenever it comes up on my playlist, and when I thought of what I could sing without much stress, I knew it had to be this music, I love good music, and I believe that is what makes this community so special as we are all connected by our shared passion for good music.

John Legend's "All of Me" is one music that never gets old. The way the lyrics speak about the beauty of love, imperfections and all but still accepted is heart melting. When I listen to and sing along to "All of Me," first, it makes singing easy for me even though I'm not a professional but just someone who appreciates good music and feels every emotion attached to the song.

Recording my cover was a fun time for me, and I hope you enjoy listening to my cover as much as I enjoyed creating it.

*All Of Me*

What would I do without your smart mouth?

Drawin' me in and you kickin' me out

You've got my head spinnin', no kiddin'

I can't pin you down

What's goin' on in that beautiful mind?

I'm on your magical mystery ride

And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me

But I'll be alright

My head's under water, but I'm breathing fine

You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

'Cause all of me

Loves all of you

Love your curves and all your edges

All your perfect imperfections

Give your all to me

I'll give my all to you....

Hello music lovers, glad to make it to the 33rd week of the Vibes music competition, congratulations to last week's winners, this week is filled with interesting singers as well, kudos guys, and more appreciation to the mods of this wonderful community, keeping the vibe on.


With our interesting theme, second language, at first, I thought I would sing a song in my dialect, but I couldn't lay my hands on the instrumentals and almost gave up participating for the week and i really didn't want to miss out, so it made me fel bad to think of giving up.

I was doing my house chores this morning while hubby just played an old song list from his phone through the sound system that filled the entire sitting room, relaxing my mood further, then WAKA WAKA by Shakira came up, before I knew it, I was already grooving, then I realized, this is a song I have liked for as long as it existed, I think it was released in the year 2010 when South Africa hosted the FIFA world cup, but with this song, it felt like the whole African continent hosted it, i remember also feeling every emotions during the World cup just with this song, even though I wasn't keen to watching football.

There is no way you can listen to this song without moving your body, I like to call it a Unity song, with the way it brought the world together, and it is also filled with encouraging lyrics, urging us to fight for our goals and not give up.

I hope you enjoy listening to my cover of this song.

*WAKA WAKA LYRICS**

You're a good soldier, choosing your battles

Pick yourself up and dust yourself off, get back in the saddle

You're on the front line, everyone's watching

You know it's serious, we're getting closer, this isn't over

[Pre-Chorus: Shakira]

The pressure's on, you feel it

But you got it all, believe it

When you fall get up, oh-oh

And if you fall get up, eh-eh

Zamina-mina, zangalewa?

'Cause this is Africa

[Chorus: Shakira]

Zamina-mina, hé-hé

Waka, waka, hé-hé

Zamina-mina, zangalewa?

This time for Africa

Savoring Childhood Memories: Tapioca Pudding Recipe

Happy Sunday friends, hope you all have enough fun plans for the weekend, as all work without play... you know the finishing part of that sentence right lol. Yay! It's another edition of the Hive Learners creative Sunday, and I will be sharing with us a unique recipe I loved so much as a child but had never prepared all my life, and didn't even know how it looked like when raw, until now.


It's called Tapioca over here, I used to think this was only a name known to the Yorubas but with further research, I discovered it is known worldwide with the same name, some even call it tapioca pearls, when it is molded to be rounded in shape.


I finally found tapioca in its raw state during one of my market visits, it was sold in an open basin, looking pure white, I asked her to sell me a cup, which was sold for less than a dollar, in addition, she explained to me how to prepare it as an additional service and I was grateful and feel motivated to make my very first tapioca, also looking forward to serving it to my kids as they've never tried it before, more like taking them to my childhood days.


Ingredients needed

* Tapioca seeds

* Coconut

* Sugar

* milk

You can add as much as you like to make your tapioca sweet and colourful, some go as far as adding strawberries, groundnuts, dates, etc, but these were what I could afford.

Without further ado, let's get right into the making process, know that this is one of the easiest recipes you will come across.

**Procedures**


* The first thing I did was to soak my tapioca seeds in water, some say for three hours, but I soaked mine overnight, and when I checked it the next morning, it had already doubled in size and become soft, I drained the water out and washed it one more time because it must have accumulated dust in the market.

* Next. I put my gas cooker on low heat because we want it to cook gradually and properly also we don't want it to get burnt


* I also dissolved the quantity of sugar according to the size i/m making in water, poured it into the pot of tapioca, and added more water to reach the same level as the tapioca



* As it got more heated, I stored the tapioca, cooking it for about 1 5 minutes.


* I also unshelled the coconut and shredded it into tiny pieces, poured it into the pot of tapioca, and stored it to even in the pot. I turned off the gas cooker after a few minutes and let the tapioca cool, I think tapioca is best served when cool than hot.



* Dishing it to my plate, I poured in my Hollandia milk and served my tapioca pudding with puff puff, a common Nigerian snack, it tasted so sweet and nostalgic as I had imagined, my daughters also liked it, so I will be incorporating tapioca pudding to our breakfast menu from henceforth, also because it is a good source of energy, gluten-free, and a source of calcium and iron.

Will you also be trying yours?

Happy weekend music lovers, glad to make it to the 32nd week of the Vibes Web3 music competition, oh wow! How time runs fast, a huge appreciation to the moderators, judges, and singers all over the world for your active support, keeping this community vibing, special thanks to @lordbutterfly @verbal-d for your encouragement and continuous support.

I woke up today with the right energy and also got vibing to this old-time favorite playlist while doing my house chores, and one of the songs stuck and made me have an even better day, a song by Asa, one of the astounding Nigerian artist, whose lyrics you can't help but fall in love with as they are always filled with wisdom and very relatable.

**'Be My Man'** can be likened to how our mothers, especially African mothers warn about falling in love and not to act around a man, but when that one man that sweeps you off your feet comes by you, you can't help but break mama's rule, we are told to be conservative and not show a man that we love them, but this girl right here is throwing all that old mam's advice away and expressing her feelings without any restriction, like they say, *taking it by force* lol.

I hope you enjoy listening to my cover as much as I enjoyed recording myself singing and vibing to it, as it is one of the songs and artist that singing their songs flows naturally for me.

Also my X entry.

***Be My Man Lyrics***

My mama used to tell me girl

It ain't that cool to see a man you love

And start to act the fool

Tell me what's a girl in love supposed to do

Tonight, I'm breaking mama's rule

Baby there's alot of things I want to say

I'm in love with you it's driving me insane

I know am sounding stupid but is it ok

To be your woman everyday

You will be my man

And I will be

Your woman everyday

Ooh baby can we take a walk around the park

And I can cook you dinner, it won't be so bad

Or we can laugh and talk about the friends you've had

And all the ones that made me mad

Ooh baby baby, can we stay up all night

We can argue, we can even start a fight

And I can laugh, and say I love the way you smile

And everything will be just fine

You will be my man

And I will be

Your woman everyday

Greetings dear creative hivers, hope you are all having a good week, it's been a good week for me as well, grateful for the gift of life and peace of mind because that's what matters most in life.


Some weeks back, I shared with us a dress I made for my sister who was lucky to be chosen as one of the bridesmaids of a river that recently got married, she was sent two types of fabric, a lace and an ankara fabric, which I had already shared with us, you can check out that post here, so today's post is about the beautiful floral dress I made with the lace fabric,


At first my sister felt disappointed because we received just 2 yards of the lace fabric, it was delivered from another state to ours which is quite a distance, about 5-6 hours journey, the two yards kind of put a restriction on the kind of style we could make with it since it wasn't enough for something elaborate.


I calmed her down, telling her to trust me to make something simple yet sophisticated for her, this time there wouldn't be a long sleeve as she had thought to make, to compliment the beautiful pink lace fabric, so I bought s matching dutchess fabric to make a blouse out of it, in the process of making and using what left, I creatively ended up with this beautiful two-piece outfit.

**Materials used**

* Lace Fabric

* Dutchess fabric

* Satin fabric

* boning

* Eyelets

* Zipper

**Cutting And Sewing Process**



* The first thing I did was cut out a bustier blouse pattern, with a snatched waistline effect, and also the back pattern.



* Next, I joined the patterns together, after padding the bust area and sewing the boning to cage the bust satin lining part for more structure.


* I turned it neatly with its lining part, hiding the seams inside, then made rings on the back area where a loop would be passed to tighten the back side.


* I trimmed out flowers from a leftover lace fabric I had at home and used it to make a strap.


* For the lower part of this outfit, I used a straight skirt pattern to cut the lace and satin fabric that served at its base, making a straight out of it

* It was looking too simple, my sister whined, then I went further to sew more flowers to the best area alone, then draped the leftover pink lace fabric around her underbust, going around to form an off-shoulder sleeve.


And here is the final beautiful floral bridesmaid look, which she totally adored, glad I made her a beautiful bridesmaid for the day.

I added a video to this post for a more detailed experience on the final look.

For my entry today, I presented a cover by Rihanna, another grat favourite artist of mine, why because she is unique, you can't find anyone who does music exactly like her, she makes every music, every act, every lyrics her, I hope you enjoy listening to this cover titled Te amo. which talks about getting a different kind of love you are not used to, though pure.

My X entry

**Te Amo Lyrics**

[Verse 1]

"Te amo, te amo", she says to me

I hear the pain in her voice

Then, we danced underneath the candelabra

She takes the lead

That's when I saw it in her eyes, it's over

[Chorus]

Then, she said "Te amo"

Then, she put her hand around me waist

I told her no, she cried "Te amo"

I told her I nah gon' run away

But let me go

My soul hears a cry

Without asking why, I said "Te amo"

Wish somebody'd tell me what she said

Don't it mean "I love you"?

Think it means "I love you"

Don't it mean "I love you"?

[Verse 2]

"Te amo, te amo", she's scared to breathe

I hold her hand, I got no choice, uh

Pulled me out on the beach, danced in the water

I start to leave

She's begging me and asking why it's over

See upcoming pop shows

Get tickets for your favorite artists

[Chorus]

Then, she said "Te amo"

Then, she put her hand around me waist

I told her no, she cried "Te amo"

I told her I nah gon' run away

But let me go[lyrics source](https://genius.com/Rihanna-te-amo-lyrics)

DIY Princess Gloves and a Fun-Filled Inter-House Sports Event

Happy Sunday dear Hivers, I hope you are all having a great, fun, and relaxing weekend, yay! It's another exciting Hive Learners creative Sunday edition where we share our fun creative talent, as usual, I will share with us another interesting creation of mine, which I made sometime last week.


My daughter's school had organized an inter-house sports event for students, teachers, and parents, it was a fun day for us all, engaging in competing sports activities such as match parade, racing, etc, especially for us parents who hardly engage in sports activities due to our tight schedule at wort, it was a great opportunity for us to exercise our muscles.


Another highlight of the day was that different houses represented were distinguished by different unique colors, from gold, purple, wine, and orange.

My daughters were both in gold house, so I volunteered to make their gold house princess ball gown with princess gloves, you will find the making process of the ball gown [here](https://peakd.com/hive-127911/@glorydee/creating-a-royal-look-for-interhouse-sport-princess-5wr) as I will be sharing with us the gloves-making process, it is very easy to make, you can see how beautiful the princess looks in her dress, and even adults can also use this gloves, in case you have an upcoming birthday shoot, as long as you have a stretchy fabric, needle and thread, that's all you need to make these gloves, and yea, it definitely adds that royal touch to your outfit, as gloves are commonly worn by the royals.

Without further ado, let's get right into the making process.


As I stated before, make sure the fabric you are using is a quality stretchy fabric, I used a velvet fabric for this project, as you can see in the images, I also used this same fabric to design some parts of her dress,


* The first step is placing your hand on plain paper and tracing it out with a pencil, trace your fingers out and up to the length you desire for the gloves, it could be wrist or elbow length


* Next, I folded the fabric in two, before placing the drafted paper on the fabric, pinning it down because velvet fabric can be very unstable when sewing



* Continuing, I sewed around the drawn hand pattern, making sure to leave a quarter of an inch allowance when sewing, also, guide the fabric well to prevent folds,


* Here is what the sewed fabric looks like, lastly, I trimmed out the finger shape, very close to the sewn area, but not too close to cut the sewn part, and turned it inside out.


Here is how the perfectly fitted gloves turned out.



To crown it all, she won the best-dressed princess of the day, I attached a short video of the inter-house sports event to this post for a better experience, I hope you enjoy viewing, this event took me back memory lane of my time as a pupil, I hope it brings heartwarming memories for you as well.

Creative Sunday : My Delicious Curry Rice Recipe

Greetings dear hivers,I hope you all having a happy and relaxing Sunday, well my relaxing part just got started, as I just finished eating my delicious Sunday curry rice which I made immediately after I returned from church.

 Image edited using canva

I have been craving this particular rice for days now but didn't have the time to make it, not that it is difficult to make, the ingredients are not even hard to come by, it's just that it's been really hectic with my job lately and there was already enough food to last for the week.

But today being Sunday makes the perfect day to satisfy my cravings, and above all, my children also like this curry rice and ate to their fill, having one picky eater daughter makes me very intentional about their food, as she eats with her eyes and nose before indulging or not, so I had to make this rice a bit colourful with the veggies I had available, you are free to add more available options of your choice.


**Ingredients used**

* Two cups of rice

* Plantain

* Curry powder

* Tomatoes

* Bell peppers

* Carrots

* Seasoning cubes

* onion

* Smoked fish

* groundnut oil

*PROCESS**


* I made sure to wash and cut my tomatoes and other ingredients that needed dicing

* After that, I put the pot on the cooker to get hot and added groundnut oil, note that the proportion you use depends on the measurement of the rice you are cooking.

* I fried my already sliced plantain before cooking to make my cooking time short, then I went ahead to add the already sliced onion, followed by a sachet of curry powder which I allowed to fry for a few seconds

* Next, I poured in the already-washed rice and added water to boil the rice

* I also added seasoning cubes, salt, and pepper, then mix it well before covering the pot to let it boil.

* After about 30 minutes, the rice was already soft and the water almost dried up, so I went in with the smoked fish, carrot, and tomatoes, giving the rice a final mix then waiting a few minutes before putting off the gas.


My delicious curry rice is ready to eat and it was very filling, my daughters loved it so much they asked for a second round of eating at a go lol, and yes paired with a chilled glass of juice on a sunny Sunday makes the day perfect already.

I hope you enjoyed reading about the making process of my Suinday Curry rice, will you be making yours? Try it, I'm sure you would love it as well and would also crave more.

I uploaded the video of the process for a better experience, all images used in this post are mine.

Hello music lovers, glad to make it to the 29th week of the Vibes web3 music competition, and for my entry I will be singing a cover of one of my favorite 90's music 'My Heart Will Go On' by Celine Dion, the first time I listened to this music was when I watched the movie `Titanic' a classic that never gets old

Image is mine

I`m sure most of us might have watched this movie at one point and can relate to how this sound not only blends with the story portrayed it us stirs the right emotion the story tells, a story of love that ended tragically but in hopes that the love will go on.

I'm a lover of 90's music and below, you can call me an old soul, i get called this name several times by my sisters, so it is very exciting for me going through the wonderful entries submitted for this week, and also getting to share mine. I hope you enjoy listening.

**My X submission**

**"My Heart Will Go On"**

Every night in my dreams

I see you, I feel you

That is how I know you go on

Far across the distance

And spaces between us

You have come to show you go on

Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the heart does go on

Once more, you open the door

And you're here in my heart

And my heart will go on and on

Love can touch us one time

And last for a lifetime

And never let go 'til we're gone

Love was when I loved you

One true time I'd hold to

In my life, we'll always go on

Near, far, wherever you are

I believe that the heart does go on

(Why does the heart go on?)

Once more, you open the door

And you're here in my heart

And my heart will go on and on

You're here, there's nothing I fear

And I know that my heart will go on

We'll stay forever this way

You are safe in my heart

And my heart will go on and on

Mm, mm-mm [lyrics source](https://www.azlyrics.com/lyrics/celinedion/myheartwillgoon.html)
