A LONG BUSY SATURDAY FOR ME || A DIARY BLOG

avatar

Today, I woke from home very early in the living to prepare travel home for school because I had two meetings to attend. One was a church choir rehearsals for an upcoming annual harvest and second was a live studio recording on Facebook which is hosted by a friend of mine.

By 8am, I was ready to leave my house to journey to Lagos from Abeokuta where I stay in school. I took the opportunity to take these pictures below when I was about leaving.

When I left home, I hadn’t eaten anything so the next place I was going to was to go my regular spot for food but unlucky me, food wasn’t ready yet and I didn’t have much time because by 11am, the choir rehearsals was meant to begin and I was over 2 hrs far away from the place.

Since food wasn’t ready, I had to move on with hope to get some snacks on the way. After some minutes, my father’s call came in trying to know my location then I told him I was at abeokuta. He was pissed hearing I was still at abk at that time.

The reason he was pissed was because I told him I would be in Lagos yesterday but I could not make it because I spent so much time trying to make the despacito video I uploaded yesterday. I didn’t want to stand from my seat until I finished the video, so I changed my mind to leave today instead of yesterday.

To my father, his thoughts was that I could make it for the rehearsals because it was late and I would probably arrive there 12pm or 1am.

After the call, I decided to take bike for most of the travels but travelled with a car through the main express road.

Surprisingly, I got to my location after 11am but they had not started. I called my father to tell him about my arrival which made him very surprised to have arrived in a short time.

The rehearsal started in about an hour later around past 12pm. I wasn’t with my guitar so I didn’t play in the choir rehearsals but only listened to their songs. Below are pictures I took while in the rehearsals.

I don’t know if I have mentioned this before; my elder brother also plays the guitar but his kind is the bass guitar. I managed to take some pictures of him playing the bass guitar today.

Fast forward to my second meeting at the studio. It was where I spent the rest of my day. The studio had a guitar and I had my effect pedal with me, so everything was just fine. Below are some pictures I took before the rehearsals of friends that came along.

For the live studio session, we are to wear our white gament that’s why I am on white in the picture above.

Before the program started, I gave my phone to a young boy that came along with us to help take pictures but surprisingly, he took over 600 pictures. See prove in image below

From all the images he took, I deleted 652 images out of frustration and for need to free up space.

Before I forget, Vita Music Studio at Surulere is where the live recording held and below are some of the pictures I did not delete from the live session.

After the session I left for home and got home almost 10pm. It has a while I had been home, my mum and granny was happy to see me. I went in, prayed then went to have a bath before coming to write this blog.

I think I have briefed you on some details of today. It is about 11:47pm already, I signing out. Need to go eat dinner cos I’m starving already!

Smiles... I got so engrossed in the guitar yesterday that I canceled my traveling plans for it. I told myself, if I don't post that despacito, I am not leaving anywhere.

My dad does not know the reason why I didn’t come home. In his mind, he would be thinking it was school activities that held me down.

Talking about singing. I think I should be given a guiness record of having the baddest voice ever. My brother would come after me.

I really appreciate you by the way!

I would teach you with pleasure. It is very easy if you have a guitar down and thank God you were learning at some point so I am sure you would have basic knowledge of the instrument.

It's good that with so many setbacks you were able to arrive on time. The truth is that it was worth the 9 hours it took you to record slowly because it was great, I still hallucinate ... I hope that at this time you have already been able to eat haha greetings and follow your change.
