Keeping Up With D Adagiris: 2015 Rundown of episodes

And like a taxi driver who pulls to a stop after reaching his destination, 2015 has taken us on its ride, pulled to a stop and now has to bid us its farewell, it has been quite an amazingly beautiful year however, it is pertinent to note that the ride has been quite the roller coaster spliced with a few bumps here and there with some dash of ups and downs, seasoned with a couple of really happy and amazing moments and ofcourse garnished with handful (or more than) of wholesome drama, a bitter-sweet one would aptly sum it up but isn't that what life is all about?

The year 2015 on Keeping Up With D Adagiris blog opened up with much trepidation, fear and uncertainty after the previous year ended in so much chaos which stemmed from  the destruction of a huge section of our abuja home which was destroyed by Alhaji garuba's hench men from unsettled loan owed him by Mom which got us getting the police involved but the rich man boasted he had the authorities in his pocket as he was a wealthy man and could do and undo, which led us into getting the media involved to feast on the both of us and let the court of public opinion judge us both. As if that wasn't a huge worry of titanic proportion, enough to take  our heads off, Karl and QT got into a violent fight which resulted in QT dealing Karl over the ears with a deadly blow which resulted in partial deafness in that ear which required a minor surgery to correct, it was really a crazy and emotionally draining moment for us all then. How can I also forgot the moment time literally stood still when Mom and Dad's ex-girlfriend Nicole met when she visited for a post-humous get together birthday party for Dad hosted by Karl who lost out on the chance of ever having a relationship with him, that was some really awkward s**t, then the birthday parties we threw  each of us brothers, decorating the house by improvising with homemade decors, cheap drinks and making our own barbecue when money was short, whew! It's been quite an amazing year and am glad I could capture these memories in words the best I can whilst entertaining you all lovely Amazeballs but before I proceed, a little background information on the Adagiri family for those just getting to know about Kuwda.

So much class! So much panache!

                                            
Lawson crescent is some sort of wisteria lane in its own way, pretty suburban in outlook, with no picket white fence though but well cultivated lawns sandwiched between well trimmed shrubs and colourful flowers adorn frontage of most houses, nice flashy cars crisscross the streets, superficial and vain housewives who gather at the curve of the crescent every weekend while throwing out trash gossip about other wives who are career women or in my Mom's case, a busy, independent career woman chatter for minutes on end. The break of dawn sees exercise and workout enthusiasts puffing and panting down the street with music flooding their ears from earpieces plugged into their earlobes whilst jugging away, drenched in sweat every morning trying to score a sizzling rack clock on the miles and with cute, well planned structures lining the street, you are awash daily with the ever smiling, mind-your-business residents giving off an air of perfection and happiness in their lives with their well combined expensive wardrobes, plush cars et al whilst stepping out of their houses but behind their persian curtains lie their foul-smelling, retch -inducing dirty laundries worthy of a national scandal sashay their way into the world running their lives. Somewhere on this crescent is where the Adagiris reside, welcome to my street.

Happy new month of december

Phases

''There would always be haters! Learn to use the criticism to fuel you, like a protein shake but made of hate!''

I smiled inwardly, staring at that powerful statement I unwittingly scribbled down on a sheet of paper before me as I sat on the comfy army green khaki cloth stretch chair on our terrace overlooking the small patch of green area in our compound just before the interlocked grounds as I write this very episode for Keeping up with the Adagiris.

Nothing much had been happening in the Adagiri household of late and with nothing blog-worthy to write about more so since I had gotten too relaxed in my writing niche comfort zone and previous attempts to dabble into other forms of writeups outside my niche proved a bit difficult and uninspiring, I decided to check my mail inbox to read emails from some fans and I stumbled upon some nasty comments about my blog. To say it didn't affect me would be an outright lie, I get praises and nice comments all the time and naturally, some hate mails too but these just got to me in a way I couldn't fathom, probably because I couldn't get myself to write to distract myself from dwelling on such venom and it was making me really upset and vulnerable.

We like to party

"Where are you?"

Mom's worried voice came forth from my blackberry smartphone's receiver,

 " I'm almost home ma" ,

 I moaned, she heaved a quick sigh, going ahead to reprimand me on why I always close late from work all the time, more so now that I'm not feeling well, my body's defenses gradually being broken down by malaria parasite hence where I ought to take excuse from my superiors at work to close early,  here I am again coming home late looking rather worse for wear. She paused then asked if the cab driver was over-speeding as the wind was obscuring whatever I was saying, I said no which she could barely hear, she hissed then ended the call.

Thirty minutes later, I staggered into the sitting room looking rather ashen with feverish condition, clasping my arms around myself from cold,

"Oh son! How are you feeling? Worse than this morning?"

Watching Empire

"OH MY GOD!"

 I shrieked totally terrified, QT rushed into the blue tiled bathroom where I was with nothing on but a large towel wrapped around my chest to find out why I cried so. Holding my cheeks in my palms, I turned towards a curious looking QT who asked if I'd seen a ghost,

 "Qatari! Grey hair, I found two strands of grey hair on my stubble"

Awkward encounter

"Tick! tock! Tick! Tock!" Goes the hand of the clock as it inches towards the hour of midnight. It was a windy night with sparks of lightening flashing through the cloudy sky over waves of  undulating mountains yards away,  the heavy wind sending the branches of the olive trees in our compound waving frantically, whistling along to the cry of some unknown birds in the far distance, the blending of both creating some tune like the soundtrack of a horror movie at its climax.

 "I need a lot of improvement
Not even half way to destiny
But I'm a train that's moving
And everyday I'm picking up speed
And god knows you ain't perfect
So who are you to put pressure on me
That's why I'm still searching
For somebody to love me with" 

The second verse of Brandy's hit song resonates with me immensely as I sit, typing this draft reminiscing about my short-lived relationship with Ariana. I think things started to break apart the moment we made it official. In all honesty, A lot of factors contributed to the collapse of our relationship though I couldn't say it was really her fault, she just couldn't cope with the sudden attention our relationship seemed to be garnering. So as i pen the breakdown of our relationship, if she's reading this, I hope it serves as a form of closure...for her and myself. 

THE GENESIS

Happy new month of august!

 

Wishing you all my vibrant amazeballs and fans of Keeping up with d Adagiris worldwide a blissful month, full of God's blessings and positive surprises. Next on Keeping up with d Adagiris...

Camouflage 1

I'm big on titles...Especially kuwda titles as these gets my writing juices flowing and gives me a sense of how I want the composition to flow. So perched cross-legged on the edge of my big bouncy bed with my laptop firmly placed on the hollow created by my pins crossed as I begin to type this very draft for kuwda, I turned the laptop on as I'd just gotten a title for this post which is "camouflage" ,the inspiration coming from listening to the hit song with the same title by brandy which in relation to this post couldn't be more apt  spurring me to grab my laptop and start typing away. So why camouflage?
