Compliments of the season! yesterday was my wedding anniversary yeah! i know please don’t ask me how it went. I doubt if my husband remembered,for me it was a time for reflection,this time last year we were in a hotel in far away Seoul in South Korea,we had so much fun, but this year was different we stayed at home in Lagos Nigeria.It was memorable because we extended our love to a family that was going through some difficulties,we invited them over,talk to them make them understand that there is always a better tomorrow.I missed my Korean movies and TV dramas,i checked some of their websites yesterday to see what has been going on.As far as business goes Nigeria is the best place to be expect for those Email scams that originates from here,although i think that the people that falls victim are the greedy ones that wants to inherit money from a relative that never existed.I have dropped most of my online business so am fully into my photography business and some other offline business.I am still doing my Marykay business although not with the kind of passion that i usually put into my businesses,i am still investing in Silver maybe i will start selling soon well that depends on the economy.I hate the postal services here it is so unlike Korea imagine having a package which i have been tracking arrived and was cleared from DHL Lagos office since 10.35am on the 24th of Dec and not receiving it yet.Lets hope they delivers it today or else i will be really mad and then do what? i wonder since i don’t have any control over such issues.As for my photography business what can i say,it has been wonderful i have met a lot the good the bad the ugly people here in Nigeria.The good ones surpasses the bad,the ugly ones so am going to write about the good ones soon.I got some photography jobs with 2 modeling agencies and 1 weekly magazine and 1 monthly magazine which is not a bad move if you ask me.I am trying hard to get something from a guy that works with UN will let you know how it goes.January is going to be jam packed with work for me,am not complaining rather i am very grateful to God for his blessings in this year.I am chatting with someone on msn live who asked what i do for fun,my reply was work my work is fun,imagine being paid for having fun.I guess he didn’t understand how passionate i am about my job.I guess i am in a rambling mood today,am home with no where to go since almost everyone has traveled for the holidays which means no work for me until first week in January.My kids are fine and enjoying their holidays,got some wonderful news this season a cousin of mine in New York gave birth to a baby girl last week,not forgetting my female best friend gave birth to a baby girl on Christmas day am green with envy for 2 reasons she got a baby girl and on Christmas day what a lucky girl. My friend Kemistry Olisaemeka is having a funky birthday bash on Tuesday at K’s place bye the way she is a Dj and a radio presenter in Nigeria and today is Kelechi Amadi Obi’s birthday he is a wonderful and talented photographer.Well that is it for today more gist later.The DHL guy just brought my parcel oh! i love the the postal services here,am off to open my package.
I got this email informing me about my account on Bank of America been hacked,this is another scam to get me give out my account information assuming that I actually have a Bank of American account. The Bank of America logo was included which can be very convincing to an unsuspected account holder. Funny enough I don’t have an account in the said bank. The hope of the scammers is that you will use the link in the email to check your account. Ironically, the phishing email may even warn you about the hazards of clicking the link, and instruct you to type it into the browser instead. Once you’ve logged onto their site (which has been carefully crafted to look like the legitimate bank or commerce site), the scammers capture your login credentials. Here is sample of the email scam on bank’s account.
Your account has been hacked !!!
