Happy Friday Lagos!
I'm so amazed by how the month is sprinting away, It's somehow scary to know you have to start planning your Christmas already and infact your new year resolutions. 2017 is just about less thann three months away (quite eerie to know that) That's actually how I feel, mainly because I love to make a report on my achievements each year and I'm very concerned about how short it is and how far I've been procrastinating on my goals and all. But I'm still hanging here, I'm very positive about the rest of the year, no matter how short it is.
Nuff said! Time to get out! It's Friday, so It's just enough reason to be happy at least, I mean what can I say, I get to have fun, meet new people, watch my favourite stars perform, eat the best meals,take pretty pictures (and selfies of course) and network, all this weekend. You really should join me sometime. So there are more than enough activities going down this weekend, Let's unwind
P.S I'll be starting a new Sunday series, so look out for that and I also hope you've been following my weekend playlist on my social media pages, I really do hope to have a playlist ready by Saturday. (I will def post up here) I'm ever grateful to our amazing DJ Gunzee for working with me on the playlist.
I was at Rocktoberfest last weekend, a rock concert put together by Rocknation Nigeria and Dammy Lawal. It was such a memorable experience, i discovered we have so many emos in Nigeria and the performances were just mind blowing, for a second I forgot I was in Lagos. Johnny Drille, Clay, One Last Autograph, Nathmac and more( you should check these guys out on soundcloud)
Here are some pictures from the event. There are videos up on my
social media page as well.
