Uni and Tido Keeping it REAL

Enjoy this real moment of our lives captured on cam.
He wants to get into nollywood but I'm really finding
it difficult to give him my support 'cause he's been
pretty close minded towards my dreams.... So, he's not
gonna have it easy! You can't get what you can't give...
that's just the way it is. So what do you think?

ST. Patrick's Day

What is St. Patrick's Day?

Tido told me to wear green to work that today is St. Patrick's day.
I asked him what the significance of St. Patrick's day was and ....ehmm the video tells it all...got no idea before now.



Thank goodness for the internet.. I googled St. Patrick's day to get in the know.
St. Patrick's day(March 17th) is a day christians, non-christian and irish celebrate Saint Patrick(385–461 AD), one of the patron saints of Ireland. It is a national holiday in Ireland and two provinces of Canada(Newfoundland and Labrador). In other parts of Canada, United States, United Kingdom, Australia and New Zealand, it is also celebrated with parades in the cities, people wearing green and eating lots of irish meals..... but not a national holiday.



Shamrock Plant

So, why green?
Well, the green really has to do with irish...'cause as I gather, St. Patrick was long associated with blue color. Nonetheless, St. Patrick used the green shamrock plant(a three-leaved plant) to explain the Holy Trinity to pre-Christian irish.

So, there we have it... I guess, I've done my best to break it down. Now, we're all in the know! Let's hear your version if it's different from mine.... Comments are always welcome.

MS Walk '08

On March 15th, 2008, My husband(Tido) and I took part in the annual MS Walk in Tyler, Texas to create awareness for Multiple Sclerosis(MS). Thousands of people all over the U.S also walked for miles and miles to bring awareness to this disease and also raise money for research.
I did not quite know what this disease was all about until my husband told me that his Instructor at school has the disease and that his class is taking part in the MS walk event. So, I took it upon myself to research the disease to get more information about it.

MS is believed to be an autoimmune disease of central nervous system that causes one's body immune system to launch an attack on its tissues thereby; disrupting communication between the brain and other parts of the body.
Most people typically experience their first symptoms of the disease between ages 20 through 40. Symptoms such as muscle weakness,vision problems, depression, partial paralysis, difficulty walking, emotional changes, or standing are common.

As I am writing this blog, there is still no cure for MS, but there are several FDA approved medications that could help in managing the symptoms of MS. Moreover, with all the awareness campaign going on and the money being raised, there is hope that researchers could come up with a cure soon.

I encourage everyone to spread the word about Multiple Sclerosis and also make out donations to support in research. If you can't afford a donation, you could atleast walk.... join the walk next year; make a difference and you will definitely feel good inside.
