I was home with my friend on a Sunday, but everywhere was quiet because the power supply company decided to go on a break.

We cooked, gisted and we needed to do something fun, so, we set the tripod stand and had a mini show. It was a game show.

Name Animals from Letters A-Z. How did my friend think to ask me that question? Could be because I studied Animal Science, so she thought I was their best friend 😂.

Apart from Quail that I forgot, how was I supposed to remember animals whose names start with Letters X and V? Eh eh. Can you name them?

Okay, please help me out. Watch to the end, trust me, it'll brighten your Sunday. 😁

Johnny Drille has been my favourite Nigerian artist for a long time now, and I've always wanted an opportunity to do a cover for one of his many love songs. So, I chose 'wait for me' as my entry for the week.

Here's a part of the lyrics.

*I don't know when I'm coming back

I'll be gone for a little while

But I will keep myself for me and you

I'll be back for you

I don't know what the future brings

But I want you to be with me

I go dey hope and pray, say make you wait for me

'Cause I'll come back for you...*

I hope you enjoy watching as much as I enjoyed singing.

Actually, the cold bothers me a lot. Eh eh eh. Frozen animation was quite popular, and I loved every song sang in it, but ‘let it go’ by Idina Menzel tops them all for me, so, I choose to do a cover of the song for this week. Read through a part of the lyrics below.

*The snow glows white on the mountain tonight

Not a footprint to be seen

A kingdom of isolation

And it looks like I'm the queen*

*The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside

Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried

Don't let them in, don't let them see

Be the good girl you always have to be

Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know

Well, now they know*

*Let it go, let it go

Can't hold it back anymore

Let it go, let it go

Turn away and slam the door

I don't care what they're going to say

Let the storm rage on

The cold never bothered me anyway…*

One very beautiful morning, the thought of going out struck me. To where? To Erin Ijesha waterfall, also known as Olumirin meaning another god.

The waterfall is in Ilesa town of Osun State Nigeria, and it has been in existence since 1140AD. It has a kind of complicating history with who discovered the waterfall first, but the popularr believe is that Akinla, the grand daughter of Oduduwa named the waterfall Olumirin.

The waterfall offers you a wonderful and relaxing moment with nature, and it is one of the most visited tourist centers in Nigeria. It has a total of seven levels. Tourists can hike up the levels and enjoy the beauty of nature.

I have heard about it since I was younger, and I knew I would be there someday, and the day finally arrived. We set off on that beautiful Saturday morning. It was seven of us, but on getting there, we met other tourists that were there to spend some time with nature and have some fun time while at it, so, the trip got more interesting than we envisaged.

The entry fee was #1000 only and there were traditional drummers to entertain you and give you a befitting welcome to the tourist center (sadly, I lost the picture of the drummers). Then, up we went to the first level with the help of a tour guide.

We climbed to the second and stopped at the third because the water seemed to gush from the fourth level down to the third, but no one was willing to go ahead and confirm because honestly, we were all tired.

For some reason, I couldn’t go under the water, but my hands and legs felt the coolness. The movement of the water on my skin was so soothing, so I can imagine how the refreshing spray of water on the skin of my friends made them forget they were adults for a moment and enjoyed the moment as much as they could.

Good day to this community. It’s the oldies-themed week, and I chose to do a cover for Tom Jones’ “Delilah”, a 1968 song about a man who committed a crime of passion.

**Here’s a part of the lyrics.**

*I saw the light on the night that I passed by her window

I saw the flickering shadows of love on her blind

She was my woman

As she deceived me I watched and went out of my mind*

*My, my, my Delilah

Why, why, why, Delilah?

I could see, that girl was no good for me

But I was lost like a slave that no man could free*

*At break of day when that man drove away I was waiting

I crossed the street to her house and she opened the door

She stood there laughing

I felt the knife in my hand and she laughed no more

*

*My, my, my Delilah

Why, why, why, Delilah?

So before they come to break down the door

Forgive me, Delilah, I just couldn't take any more…

*

The series is an adaptation of the manga parasite series written by Hitoshi Iwaki. I am not a fan of long series, and that is why this movie made it to my watch list. Majorly because of the short watch duration and the number of episodes (it has just six episodes).


The parasite’s larva suddenly invaded the earth with a mission to “eat humankind”. So, they kill the humans, eat up their brains and take control of their whole body changing them into ugly looking creatures with multiple abilities. Then, they hunt for other humans also seeking out the powerful ones so they can expand their reach. The parasites grow stronger the longer they live in humans, especially when they are lucky enough to possess the body of a highly intelligent human.


Jeon Su-in acted the double-personality so well that you would think that she lives as double human in real life. In this series, she is a mutated parasite. She exists as both a parasite named ‘Heidi’ and human (Su-in) because the parasite could not take a complete control of her brain, so they had to coexist in one body. One thing I like about her existence as a parasite and human is the fact that they have a mutual relationship even though I was angry at her at some point because tell me why she takes the risks that she knows could send her to the grave. “Avoid danger for the next three hours because Heidi would not be available to help”, but no. she went directly ahead inside that danger. Kang-woo came to her rescue though.


Seong Kang-woo, a partner to Su-in was a human and a “wanted” member of a gang by some other gangster groups. He lost his kid sister to the parasite who had possessed the body of his big sister. His carelessness almost got him killed. I like his role though. He introduced a little bit of humour into the series. And he was the first messenger between Heidi and Su-in. He later joined ‘The Grey’ team.


Captain Choi would have been my favourite in this series, but I didn’t like the fact that the people she was supposed to trust are the ones she’s hunting to kill. I know it’s hard to trust a parasite, but, at least, just a little patience and observation would’ve given her all the hint she needed. Overall, I love her acting. She is the no-nonsense team lead of The Grey team that are actively working to rid the earth of all the parasites. Her husband was killed by one of the parasites, and his body was taken over just like the others, but she captured the parasite that has replaced her husband and used him as a hunting dog for other parasites. It takes a lot of strength to be able to do that. The hunting dog later got killed by a traitor police officer who was greedy for money and power.


The traitor was Kang Won-seok. I’ve seen him many times in movies, and he has always been a traitor. He didn’t disappoint in delivering his role as a traitor very well though. I mean he got his fellow officer killed, and almost got the mayor killed too all because he wanted a seat in the National Assembly.

The effect in this series is so good that if not for the realization of it being a movie, you most likely would think aliens have truly invaded the earth. For me, this movie is a 9/10. There was no single boring scene.

If you are a fan of sci-fi and horror genres, this will make a very good watch for you.

Something different from my normal weekends was a Sunday in February that my friend chose to get married. The excitement I felt for her was on an entirely different level.

Prior to this day, we’ve had conversations, meetings, and shopped over the phone. Distance didn’t make it physically possible, but we did it anyways. We shopped for everything, planned out how the day would not be a flop, and because it was a Sunday and people would need to resume to work by Monday, we planned that the party would finish early.

We were about three close friends present at the hotel and we all knew our roles, especially in making the bride feel and look good throughout the day, because it was her day of joy. Through the night, we couldn’t sleep for long. We were so excited for the next day. So, we gisted into the night, arranged and rearranged her box, fixed everything that needed to be fixed, and got the bride ready for the most anticipated moment of thatday.

At 7:00am, the event decorator was around, the tables and chairs were getting set, the bands, and Dj, the alagas (spokespersons) and the venue for the foods and drinks was getting cleaned up and prepared. It was going to be a long day.

The bride got a call that was supposed to make her angry and sad at the same time, but, as the proactive friends that we are, we sabotaged the situation such that even the bride was shocked. We were there for her happiness anyway.

“My dear, no matter what anyone does to you today, don’t get angry. Again, don’t get angry and you must not cry except when you’re getting your father’s blessings, please. That one is allowed because it was tears of joy”. It was important that we reminded her.

The perfect plan we had was to start the event by 11:00am latest, but it started around 2:00pm because of a situation beyond our control. You can guess what the bride’s mood was, right? Okay, next, the proper solemnization was supposed to last for just an hour, but it extended beyond the time, but, strongly, the friends of the bride kept reminding her not to be angry, because the guests already started eating, plus her makeup would smear. We didn’t want that.

The proper party started, and we saw people trooping in. I remember my friend chose a Sunday because she didn’t want crowd, but she forgot that the wedding party is not for her and her friends alone, but, for her parents inclusive, and please, what is a Nigerian wedding without varieties of flamboyancy, foods, and drinks? How about the souvenirs? Oh mine. The party was a sight to behold.

After every almost-flopped moment passed, we had the reception proper with the ‘alagas’ (spokespersons) singing traditional wedding songs. Oh well, it was a beauty to behold because I never knew my friend could dance this much until this day. Chei! I loveet!

Once a year since 2023, I try to attend a party because normally, I don't like to attend any at all. That’s because parties stress me out too much. But this one, I enjoyed myself properly even though I couldn’t eat more than a plate of rice and meat, my friend’s happiness topped the reason for the enjoyment.

I left the event with a basket filled with souvenirs that were prepared by the bride. Even though I got back home very late at night and all tired, it was all worth it. At least, I had a weekend different from my usual weekend routine of watching tutorials, building dashboards, sleeping, and seeing movies.

The video is mine.

Good day to this community. It’s a pleasure to be able to join the competition for this week again. Thanks to you all that encouraged me to find an audience beyond my bedroom furniture.

This week, I chose to do a cover for Shania Twain’s “Forever and For Always”, a song I’ve loved for years. You can call me a lover girl, I don’t mind, but I love this song so much because it’s about love.

**Here’s a part of the lyrics. **

***

In your arms

I can still feel the way you want me when you hold me

I can still hear the words you whispered when you told me

I can stay right here forever in your arms

*And there ain't no way

I'm letting you go now

And there ain't no way

And there ain't no how I'll never see that day

'Cause I'm keeping you forever and for always

We will be together all of our days

Wanna wake up every morning to your sweet face

Always

Mmm, baby

In your heart

I can still hear a beat for every time you kiss me

And when we're apart, I know how much you miss me

I can feel your love for me in your heart.

And there ain't no way

I'm letting you go now

And there ain't no way

And there ain't no how I'll never see that day

'Cause I'm keeping you forever and for always

We will be together all of our days

Wanna wake up every morning to your sweet face

Always…****

I hope you enjoy listening.

It was supposed to be a boring day for my friend and I because we are not so outgoing. After a sumptuous breakfast, and proper gisting time, we held on to our phones scrolling the internet till we couldn’t anymore. It wasn’t a workday, so, getting to work was a no because we had decided to basically take all day off without an actual itinerary in place.

What could we have one? Cook? We did that already. We couldn’t have just laid in bed all day. So, we did something.

There was a tripod stand, our phones were still very much charged, so, we decided to have a fun-interview section. My friend was the interviewer, and I was the interviewee. We had a lot of laughs during the session as you can see from the video, however, it came out really nice and ended up being entertaining.

It’s Easter Holiday today, and maybe you are at work or not. This should bring some smile to your face today and get your day started on a good note.

For the last question, I actually got it right, but doubt made me admit to it being wrong. In essence, my interviewer was wrong, but because I wasn’t so sure, I admitted wrong.

Thanks to boredom, I could bring this to you today so that you will not be bored, or so that maybe you could also think of doing something creative when you are bored.

I hope you enjoy watching.

It feels good to be here and be able to join the competition this week for the first time, and as a newbie on Hive.

For this entry, I chose to run a cover for the song "Floating Through Space" sang originally by Sia and David Guetta.

Read through a part of the lyrics, and see why I put all my heart into singing.

*You made it through another day

You made it through another day

You did it, let's celebrate (oh, oh)

Some days you feel you'll break

But you made it through another day

Yeah, you did it, let's celebrate (oh)

24-7 and 365

You made another day, made it alive

Made another day, made it alive

24-7 and 365

You made another day, made it alive

Made another day, made it alive

So today, baby, remember it's okay

We're all floating through space

Today, baby, remember you're okay

We're all floating through space (floating through)...*

I hope you enjoy listening to it, as much as I did singing. I downloaded the instrumental of the song and used it in my recording. I've always been a bedroom singer up until now. Meaning, this is my first time in a singing competition, so, I will appreciate your feedback on my performance.
