The weekend and I.....

Hi…

So you are happy the weekend is here, no work but errrr what do you do to occupy yourself? Now its like at least for me...i disturb for the weekend and before i realise i am upset and on my way to work. Yep Monday is already here. I am even tired of complaining about Mondays. There is no point now..(sigh). Or I do not plan well.....maybe maybe!

Where do you go on a typical Saturday in Ghana? Yes like seriously? I have gone to all the hotspots aka restaurants/ hotels/beach and I am tired/bored. Or is it that I have turned into an old lady? Tsoo i am only 27 or i do not get the nightlife anymore. I am not talking about going out every night like some people do but some cool hangout on Saturday to enjoy the weekend. It has become too someway. The food (well only a few of them guarantee you of good food all the time) drinks, ambiance, patrons of the places are all the same. Not that I am making the Ghanaian nightlife scene look boring but there has to some gingering up. People need to invest into new hangouts with a different spank/ attitude (I do not have ideas so please do not ask me what?), and while I am on this subject dont you think we need another conference center and another national theatre?. We need bigger sitting capacity, beautiful monumental structures, some crazy architectural design ; the works…and ohh stronger looking ones too.

People have money in this country. They should take the opportunity to invest in such structures. As I always say we know what we lack but we love run around the problem. Or we should wait for the Airport city to develop? Ok that too is not bad. Looking at the Citizen Kofi restaurant, The Marriot Hotel, Marina Mall et all.

Well moving along Patrick treated me to ice cream from one of my favorite joints in Osu. Nope I will not mention their name.  But mehnn that ice-cream is really something else, my favorite flavors are the straciatella and cookies (menum ye me d3 papa) proper homemade cream. He then drove us through town to get a bit of the night breeze. Oh my days…Accra is freaking dark. It is like we are worshipping the street lights. First it was… there are no street lights, now the street lights have been fixed too, the lights are not working. Ebei ooo. And what kills me in all of this, is the fact that it is a dominant feature on our major roads at least the ones in Accra. i.e. Tetteh Quarshie and the N1 Highway. Are we freaking serious? I think someone needs to alert Mr. Kwami Sefa Kayi (Radio Host for Peace Fm) about this one too. I remember when he blasted whichever authority on radio for not fixing the street lights on the Spintex road he got results. (Power of radio and media) Something has to be done, I mean come on.

Well finally got home and decided to scare myself silly. My movies of choice were Sleepy Hollow and Jeepers and Creepers.  I guess you will want to know what the movies are about?!.  I am lazy this minute….kindly goggle eh! But sometimes I wonder why we scare ourselves like that. You know the movie is scary but still you want to watch it. I made a critical mistake too ooo. As at 3.00 am deep into Jeepers Creepers, I remembered I had not looked the kitchen doors….simply put it was not easy. I hopped scotched my way through the entire process of  locking the doors, decided that the creature was hiding on the corridor about to zap me so I slept on the couch in the living room only for me to wake up with my neck stiff and sore…(not smiling). But it’s all good. I have learnt my lesson but err if there is a new horror movie recommend it wai I will still watch with my heart in my mouth..That is why Kwesi Broni invented deep heat to aid stiff necks…. (Heheeehe). Is Robb still on the Ghanaian market? I don’t remember the last time I saw any. It is made in Ghana right? That is some good stuff especially when you have a cold.

Monday is here, another week beckons.  We have to make the best of it. Keeping our head high and not allowing anyone to sit on your happiness. I always say there are over a billion people in this world why on earth will you allow one just one or worst case scenario three spoil your day????

Love

Me
