Since marriage and impending children are in my near and not-so-near future, respectively, I've been thinking more and more about baby names. Before you start wondering in that pretty head of yours, NO, I'm NOT pregnant. It's physically impossible for me to be pregnant at this particular point in time, especially seeing as I have not been visited by an angel telling me that I am to bear Nigeria's savior.
Anyhoo, I'm not trying to be preggers anytime soon, much to the chargin of great-grandparents, grandparents, aunties and uncles in-waiting. I still have this belief that once you start having children, your life is over. Well, not over over. But EVERYTHING you do would have to include your child(ren). I haven't gone to Greece, Bora Bora, Australia, my native New Zealand, etc and I'm not about to haul any babies around with me. My mum has graciously agreed to babysit though, so maybe little Berries and Cakes will come this time next year. I digress.
So BABY NAMES. Here's my thinking about baby names...

Random Post Alert! Knaughty Knickers!
Hiya,
It's been a while since I posted a random topic. I usually get them from my head, or discussions I have with people (such as the proper way to construct a Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich... for the record, you put PB on one slice, and J on the other slice). Anyways, the other day, I was talking with someone about the different kinds of panties for women.
It started off when I was asked whether I wear G-strings (I'm a very easy person to talk to, so people feel the need to ask me TMI questions like this one). Well, I had my phase of V-strings (Victoria's Secret G-strings) in the early 2000's, right after my phase with Thongs (no thanks to Sisqo and his 'Tho-tho-tho-tho-THONG' song). I was actually almost obsessed with Victoria's Secret back in the day. If anyone wanted to buy me a present, I asked for a VS Gift Card.
Anyways, that phase passed. In retrospect, I used to think thongs and g-strings were the ultimate sexy underwear. But now, NO WAY JOSE! Maybe if you have buns of steel, no lumps, no jiggly-jiggly, then sure. Otherwise, give me a TANGA or LACE BOYSHORTS/HIPSTERS! Oh, you don't know what those are? Well, Wikipedia to the rescue!
I'm sure most guys would wholeheartedly agree that the less coverage, the better. To them, I say, YOU WEAR THEM since you like them so much.
I wonder if there are any types left out from the list... What's your favorite style?

First Kiss Fridays is heeeeere!
Hello lovers!!!
Yup yup, the weekend's here and we're ready to have bunches of fun or rest, but first of all... KISSESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! As usual, thanks to everyone who's sent in a story so far.
I NEED MORE STORIES!!!!!!!!!! Send stories of your first kisses ever, first kisses with boyfriends/girlfriends, ex-boyfriends/girlfriends, handsome/beautiful strangers, husbands/wives, etc... It will be TOTALLY ANONYMOUS!
Please send your stories to berrydakara@gmail.com
Hi Berry! I've been wanting to write this forever, but NO THANKS to sickness and every other negative factor :p It is well with me :)
My first kiss was with a guy named Samson. He had long, flowing hair, and was as strong as a bear, lion and ox put together. He even killed a lion with his bare hands! No wait, that's a different Samson. I ain't no Delilah! Anyway, I met MY Samson right after I finished secondary school. I had just broken up with my first boyfriend, whom I never kissed and I met Samson shortly after in the estate where I grew up - UP DOLPHIN ESTATE!!!
My first kiss with Samson was very awkward. There was a lot of saliva involved (yuck), and it just felt weird and senseless to me. I'll give you a little shocker here. He was 14 years older than me. I was 18, and he was 32. Don't judge me, but he was my first love, in retrospect. We dated for a little while, but broke up when we both realized that it wasn't going to lead anywhere. The age difference was a mighty hindrance. Now that I think about it though, Samson was very intelligent, mature, God-fearing and is actually the exact type of man I'd want to be with now. I'm 23 now, very single and NOT ready to mingle (lol)... I still thank God for my life though. It's filled with stories and this is one of them.
*Hmmm. If he's exactly the type of guy she'd want, my question would be "Is he still available?" Cos if he is, then why can't they get back together? At this point, he'd be 37 though, so chances are he's married. Aww, such is life.
BTW, have you nominated me for a Nigerian Blog Award or 3 yet? Pretty please nominate moi for Best NEW, HUMOR, PERSONAL blog :) Tenks a bunsh, and have a BERRY PRETTY weekend!

So Nigeria celebrated her 53rd Indy Anniversary...
And what did I do? Wear green? No. Wish anyone a Happy Independence? No. Silently pray that PHCN kept the power on all day? YES. Did they? NO!
Lemme tell you what I did do...
Lemme tell you what I did do...
- I slept in. For me, it was simply a random day off! A random day off, for me to get some much needed rest. So, I slept and enjoyed waking up 3/4 hours later than usual :)
Berry and her Big A$$ Fro 
We didn't dress alike on purpose. Just FYI - I went jet-skiing! FINALLY!!! Remember how that was one of the fun things I wanted to do to spice up my life? The place I originally wanted to go to, was shut down a couple of months ago - which caused me great strife and sadness. I had told Cakes I wanted to go since January, and he said I should wait. I waited, waited some more, and waaaaaaaaaaaaaited my plans away. Fortunately for him, on my way back from the airport on my last trip out, I spied some jetskis while crossing the Lekki-Ikoyi bridge. We stopped by and they said that they do indeed rent out jetskis, so we made plans for Indy Day.
It was FUN, while we were on them. The 2 hours spent waiting for the guy who had the keys...NOT FUN. Cakes and the guide falling over into the water... NOT FUN. His BB basically drowning... DEFINITELY NOT FUN.

Brides Day Out!!!
Hi friends :D
Remember when I told you I was selected for Brides Day Out by The Wedding Guru? And how afterwards, I wasn't allowed to post pictures because the official photographs hadn't come out? Well, they're out now and they're on Bella Naija, so I'm giving myself free reign to put up my pictures and tell you how awesome that day was :)
First up, Bella Naija's pictures...
Funny story about this picture. There was a champagne vendor - Tattinger - and they provided LOTS of champagne for us on that day. Now, I don't think I've mentioned it before but I am a LIGHT WEIGHT. Yes, I have gotten tipsy-drunk on a bottle of Heineken before. Even Smirnoff Ice can get me tipsy if I haven't eaten. Now, picture this: no food all day, until we got to the food vendor at about 4pm. Before that time, maybe 3 glasses of champagne. Yup, by the time we got to the food, Ms. Berry was on her way to being drunk! I had to get quiet because I was feeling dizzy, and said a silent 'Thank You God' prayer when we were able to eat. 30 minutes more of no food, and I'm sure I would have passed out.
Of course they had to capture me eating :-|
One of the vendors we visited was Love, Tims/I Do Weddings Nigeria. Timi is such a NICE lady, and one of her bridal gowns was worn by Tuface's wife, Annie Idibia for her wedding! I just wanted to give her a shout out, and implore you to check out her blog here - I Do Weddings.
And now, MY PICTURES! Not nearly as clear, but more of moi :D
