Taurus Woman Personality Traits

Posted in Blogosphere, Miscellaneous, Sites I visit on February 1, 2008 by Queen Ebong

I was checking out my daily Horoscopes today and I found this interesting write up about Taureans. You know whats funny is, about 95% of what was written there is true.

She is capable of handling the severest of problems, without shedding even a single tear. She has the infamous Taurus temper, but it is seldom displayed. At least not until the provocation is too much to digest. She is as feminine as any other female, without the unnecessary tantrums. A Taurus woman has no desire of dominating her husband.

One Year Of HAPPY BLOGGING! (Its My Blog’s Birthday)

Posted in Blogosphere, Fun on April 19, 2007 by Queen Ebong

Yeah, this week monday made it a year since I started THE DIARY OF A DETERMINED TEENAGER. Its been a year of happy blogging, a year of challenges and a year of hating from some people. With 18,900 visits since April last year and 86 posts and 421 comments.This one year has taught me alot, it has changed the way I see things and i have made loads of friends. I have also had a few setbacks but I am still on my feet.

My dearest big brother is getting married in a month. May 26th is the traditional wedding and June 2nd is the white wedding which means as from may 1st all roads lead to Calabar for the Holy Solmnization of my brother and his sweet lady.

In exactly TWO WEEKS, Queenzy will turn NINETEEN (19). YEAH!!!I am going to be 19 in two weeks and I am looking forward to it. The date is May 12 and its on a saturday. As from now I am accepting gifts in anyform at all. Its not only cash that matters when it comes to celebration.

Because of the upcoming exam, I have been on a very tight schedule. I will be back to blogging full time as soon as am through with my exam on May 5th which is exactly one week before my birthday.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DIARY OF A DETERMINED TEENAGER!!!  :)

Response to UnNaked’s Meme

Posted in Blogosphere on February 3, 2007 by Queen Ebong

I thought it will be nice if you all read the response UnNaked gave to my “Psychic Tag”

  1. unNaked Soul Says:
    February 2nd, 2007 at 7:57 pm eThe Response
    =============
    Your ladder lean on something though it wasn’t specified means that you rely on something to archieve your goals… You believe that something gotto give to get what you want…You’re a highly sexual being, and you’re willing to experiment just to make sex more enjoyable for you and your partner… And you’re always wondering what your lover is up to… you don’t know if you should be jealous or protective… or buggin.. lol

    You see sex as a thirst quencher (emotional or regular stress),
    and plays a vital part in relationship
    And hopefully you can use your abilities (sexual) to gain back your lost love…

    You think you are cool, sexy, and outgoing…

    Your ideal lover is someone who’s friendly, and can protect you… someone who can help you when you are weak…

    Well, death is not something you’re comfortable with (well who is? LOL)

    B is your crush
    S is whom you’re dating at the moment or wants to date you..
    Jeremiah is your lucky star
    Stevie might hurt you sometime in the future

    Are you telling B to follow the footprint of your crushing? LOL
    While you are rawking it hard with S… with some wicked slow wind… uhmmm
    Jeremiah you might not see for sometime to come… and he’ll miss you…

    Abuja is where the MAGIC will happen
    Canada you’ll be if you reach 50

    Your order of priority
    Finance
    Freedom
    Friends
    Family
    Ego

    Hmmm… some real Taurean… wanna have fun.. .lol

    rawk on!

    what say thee?

I dont know how he came about that but I’d like to note that 95% of what he said is actually true.

Funny isn’t it? Actually its amazing how we humans subconciously give answers to questions without knowing that someone else could actually read “in-between-the-lines”
