Hey Guys!
I know its looking like I quickly abandoned my ‘
weekend bits’ section but I promise its still a thing. Its not so easy going from laid back to jumpy jump every other weekend plus when you don’t have a car, movement plans has to be detailed. Lol
Anyways, this weekend was a bit more live, and by live I don’t mean that I did anything utterly amazing but that I actually was out of the house for both days of the weekend. *Go Cassie*!
So let’s see what I got up to this weekend!
SATURDAY.
 |
| Post Casting selfie |
I spent the whole of Saturday at a
model casting. Yes, the whole! Got there in the morning and left in the evening.
That’s castings for you. They hardly ever start on time and then when they start, they waste your time too although I can’t complain much about this one. It was pretty organized and the crowd was huge! I was like number 200 and something. Eekk.
At this point, I’ll just like to shout out to my friends Oge and Tracy for dragging me to castings, left to me I’ll just sit at home but their drive is admirable yo!
Also learnt a valuable lesson at the casting which is ‘there’s no harm in trying’. I wore blue shorts to the casting and didn’t come with head shots as they requested and when I got to the venue, models kept on telling me that they weren’t seeing people that didn’t come with their headshots or didn’t wear black. Not like I was going to turn back and head home sha but got reminded of that because right now my friend is telling me how there are limited spaces in private hospitals for house officers and if there’s any need trying that out and I’m like ‘no harm in trying’
Anyways, I digress.
It rained the whole day but we still had to take our compulsory post casting selfie even under the rain. Ha ha
Got home, took a hot bath and spent the rest of the day scribbling notes in my
blog journal
SUNDAY.
Sunday funday like you guys call it!
I went for this 5D movie ride thing at the film house cinema (not the cinema itself though, but in the building). It was pretty cool but I wish it lasted longer. Lol! Costs just 500 Naira in case you want to try it out.
I forgot to take pictures – Okay, actually didn’t really forget. I’m honestly not much of a picture person even though people hardly believe me when I say it. My response to them is always ‘ask my friend Tracy, she’ll tell you the truth about me and Pictures’
Enroute the Kene Rapu store launch in Lekki, I stopped by at that sweet kiwi place that everyone keeps going on about and let’s just say now I know that I’m really indifferent to frozen yogurt (Ended up wasting it – threw it away after like four spoons). It wasn’t bad or anything and their staffs were really nice, helpful and all smiles but I felt like I could have gotten KFC icecream instead but I didn’t let it pain me too much sha because there’s always a first time for everything. I guess if it was ice cream, I’ll be saying another story now.
So yeah, lesson Learnt : I don’t care much about frozen yoghurt.

| Collected the cake just to take this shot -_- |
 |
| Phone selfie with Bayo. |
 |
| Met him at the event, he had on this really cool blazer. Street style on a 100! |
This shot made me realize how much I’ve been underestimating my camera just because i saw others that are better. Never again! I’ll go back to using it for outfit shots when I can’t find a photographer and maybe I’ll restart my
street style section too! (
Guys, yes to street style? Let me know what you think)
I probably looked stupid bending down to get a shot of her shoes but look at this beauty!

| Shoefie with cool blazer dude and his friend. |
 |
| Free goodies which I probably will never use. |
Final stop was the store launch. Kene rapu is a brand that makes slippers, sandals and the like with Ankara though. Price range was from 7k and the store is located at 1a Olajide George street, Lekki.
I think it was a pretty well organized event, the traffic flow was good and there was small chops. He he
Didn’t do much waka about but saw few people I know (Hello Ed!) , met some of my Instagram followers (Hello Tonyola and Dasidy!) and a lady that told me she just finished reading my Bella naija feature and figured I was the one when she saw me (Oh yes, I got featured on Bella naija and you can read that here)
I’m just too bad at networking if not I would have asked for her name and struck up a conversation like my mind was telling me too *sigh*
Now that I think of it, lots of missed opportunities at the event yesterday!
I could have gotten street style shots but I didn’t.
Could have taken outfit post pictures but I didn’t because the camera guys there were doing face like akanmu and I hate stressing people out. Also because I underestimated my camera *sobs*
Could have taken more shots of the event but I didn’t.
Anyway, I promise to do better next time!
What did you guys get up to this weekend!?
Hope you all have a fruitful and blessed week.
Great photos and stylish looks!
Thank you.
You went out yaay!! Those blue heels look amazing but idk about my feet in that..😪😪😢😔

Lol. Yes, I did!
Haha, me too! My huge ugly feet!
Really cool pictures.. This is my first time commenting on your blog. I hope you get the role. Btw.. I love your glasses.where did you get it because I needed to spice up my reading glasses. I hope you know what I mean?
Thank You Jen!!
I actually did get the role!
I obtained the glasses from a friend oh so I have no idea where she got it from.
Looking forward to reading more of your comments 😀
I thought about going to Kene's thing, but we already had other plans. Girl, I'm beginning to feel the same way about my camera. Somehow the photos aren't sharp anymore. I don't get it 🙁
How'd my weekend go? I dunno
Oh no no. You have it mixed up a bit, I meant that my camera actually takes OK pictures and I've been underestimating it for too long
Hey Cassandra 🙂 Keep the Faith! You're in my Prayers and Pray a position (the right position) will open up soon! 🙂
Funny how many think modeling is all Glam, then I was never in your class and most of my modeling days are behind me, but still do occasional shoots on my rare off days if they pay.
I'm not much on yogurt either, but Love Ice Cream too! 😉
Girl, you take such Beautiful pictures and I totally suck with a camera … hope to learn more and practice to the point they are shots people will enjoy. I was somehow invited into a landscape photography group that has amateur to world class photographers. Not sure I can invite anyone, but they would be Thrilled to have you tell +jo Williams/g+ you'd like to join. They're a Great group of people!
My weekend? Boring … worked, still confused about how I PO my Best Friend and trying to understand why race relations continue to decline in the US and around the world??? Sorry for rambling on … about to fall asleep. Got to get back to work.
Take Care! Wishing you a Fabulous Day/Week! 🙂 ttyl
You had an amazing weekend, I sometimes get that way bout my camera but well it does the job so I'm grateful.
I've learned the worst someone can tell me is no, so I make convo more now and try to express myself more

Glad to see you around my zone once again and yes, sure I can keep it for you.

Ooh, did i tel you that i loved your denim shirt and white sneakers combination.. that was pretty cool
I was even asking you something, only to turn and realize you weren't there anymore. Lol
You came alone, mehn kudos to you!
These events get boring for me when I don't have someone to whisper to. Lol
Thank you! :$

Nne its a canon rebel xs.
Lool, its not like mine is always nice oh. Mine is mostly always like yours
Love your blog! Looks like you had a fun weekend.. I thought I was the only one who didn't like frozen yoghurt lol

No noooo. Its not that I don't like it, its that I'm indifferent about it. Lol, do I confuse you?
And thank you for the compliment ^_^
I would have felt the same way about frozen yoghurt if I'd had Sweet Kiwi first. I didn't hate it but it was disappointing. Yogurberry in Abj is the shiznit.
And you went out yay! Congrats on booking the job and on the BN feature. You should go out more. Have some fun
