CELEBRITY GUEST – OLAKUNLE OLADEHIN, BHEERHUGZ BRAND (MEDICAL DOCTOR CUM ENTREPRENEUR)

Hey guys, 

They say doctors are one of the busiest people on earth. Always on the move, never found lacking. If they aren't attending to patients or attending seminars, they are researching the next big thing. They are mostly satisfied with what they know how to do best, BEING A DOCTOR.

Well, not this Doc., young, intelligent, resilient and hardworking...and he is Nigerian.

So freaking excited! 

The first time I met him I was so intrigued that I started marketing for him without even knowing it.

He is someone I admire (believe me which is rare) and respect( which even more rare, don't blame me, take a good look around). Anyway, I am sure you guys can't wait too. So I will stop my chitchat and have you read his interview. 

Oh, his is name is Dr. Olakunle Oladehin, the brain behind the BHEERHUGZ BRAND!

If you didn't know, now you know…you can thank me later.

Real Gentlehawk: Can we meet you and what do you do?

Olakunle: I am Dr Olakunle Oladehin. I am a physician, a researcher, a family oriented man and lastly a young Nigerian entrepreneur. I live and schooled in Lagos, Nigeria, I have been in Lagos all my life. Everyone has a story, so do I. It was never easy.

Real Gentlehawk: What ignited the spark in you to start a new business venture or to make significant changes in an existing business? 

Olakunle: Being the restless person that I am, I had to channel my spare time into something I had passion for. Something I was confident that passion will see me through no matter how hard things got. Change is a constant requirement in everything we do. You see, we cease to exist once we cease to change. My key driver for change has been "continuous improvement".

 

Real Gentlehawk: How did the idea for your business come about?

Olakunle: My passion for hospitality started while in medical school. As director of socials, I had the opportunity to play around with several ideas just as any teenager would. I fantasized about being an actor, owning a restaurant and still practicing my medical profession at the same time.

 

Real Gentlehawk: How do you build a successful customer base?

Olakunle: From the very onset, it was clear that having a successful restaurant would require that first timers coming back. It was also important that we understand and track our customers. So even when we do not see them, we still want to engage with them. Hence, we took full advantage of technology.

We created our loyalty Card platform (Hugz Fun Rewardz) which has really grown over the last 4 years and also improved in terms of user interface. Card holders get a lot of benefits and rewards, and more importantly, we also get to engage them even when they haven't visited in a while.

On the flip side, we also believe in giving back to the society. Supporting noble causes that elevate mankind. We recently gave out 100s of insecticide treated nets in our support to End Malaria scourge as well as support voluntary organizations as part of our corporate social responsibilities. 

 

Real Gentlehawk: Can you please describe your typical day?

Olakunle: I sleep mandatorily for 6 hours everyday. I dislike to talk on phone. Love to be the on social media and most importantly spend time with my family - which is the highlight.

 

Real Gentlehawk: What is your greatest fear, and how do you manage fear?

Olakunle: My greatest fear is failure. I however understand that failure sometimes is part of the game. Take calculated risk and leave the rest to God.

 

Real Gentlehawk: How do you define success?

Olakunle: Empowering people and creating more entrepreneurs.

 

Real Gentlehawk: Who has been your greatest inspiration?

Olakunle: My father, Samuel Olafemiwa Oladehin. A seasoned accountant who taught me 30 years ago that no matter what profession i did in life, i must know and embrace the principles of accounting. Being a man of God, He also taught me to have the fear God and always do good. His legacy lives on as he passed away in 2007.

 

Real Gentlehawk: I am sorry, may his soul rest in peace.

Olakunle: Thanks, I wish he was still around to see what he started.

Real Gentlehawk: What book has inspired you the most? (OR What is your favorite book?)

Olakunle: I am not one to pick up books.......though, I am writing my own book. Hope you will read it. LOL

 

Real Gentlehawk: Why not, if you send me a copy. So what have been some of your failures, and what have you learned from them?

Olakunle: I failed in almost everything at some point in life. I failed pathology in medical school, I have failed in relationships, in other business endeavors. Like I said earlier my greatest fear still is failure...... then again, failure is part of the journey. My  biggest lesson from failure is timing. Many factors contribute to failure, however, Timing is the biggest of all. 

 

Real Gentlehawk: What advice would you give to college students who want to become entrepreneurs?

Olakunle: No idea is stupid. You are better with something you have passion for. All you need is timing or let's say Perfect timing, if you understand what I'm trying to say...... Hit the rod when it is hot!!

Real Gentlehawk: Thank you so much for the interview.

Olakunle: It was a pleasure!

So you hear it from the horse’s mouth, keeping it true and real, will the the long run get you to that place. Keep pushing, loving and feeding your passion is all you need to be great. Giving up ain't an option! Try and try again. Failure is just a way of telling you, yep, I just learnt another way of not doing it that way.

Therefore, I leave you with one of my favorite quotes by Albert Einstein.

So peace out,

Your Gal,

Real Gentlehawk!

CELEBRITY GUEST - UFUOMA ( GOSPEL ARTIST)

Hey guys,

Welcome! Today I will be sharing with you my interview with another celeb. This time our celeb is one of Nigeria most talented Gospel Artist of our time.

Some of you may have heard of her or even had a chance to be ministered to by her. 

She is no one other than the Amazing Ufuoma.

Now, for those of you who haven't heard of the talented artist, don't worry we've got you covered.

So without further ado, here is the interview we had with Ufuoma. 

Real Gentlehawk: Please can you introduce yourself, especially to our readers  who doesn't really know you. Also can you tell us a bit about what growing up was like for you? 

Ufuoma: I was born in Lagos -  Nigeria but hail from Ughelli North in Delta state, south-south Nigeria. The fifth of twelve children. My growing up was pretty strict cos my dad was very strict. My father is late Pastor F.A. Onofeghara,  an Elder in RCCG and a Professor  at University of Port –harcourt, he thought us God’s word everyday and my mother is late Mrs B. D. Onofeghara who was a principal at UDSS University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria. I am currently studying  B.A. English in Open university Nigeria.

I am a Gospel artist and a song writer. My debut four track E.P“Your Love” was recorded and mixed in Nigeria in 2015. Its been described as a blessing, with the hit track “ Your love”, a soft rock tune,  is ministering to people around the world. My latest work which is a new single “Yeshua”, will hit the airwaves on the 16th of July 2016 and am super excited about this single.

Real Gentlehawk:  Can you tell us how you came about doing what you do? How long have you been doing this? 

Ufuoma: I started singing early in church choirs especially in primary and secondary school. I was also brought up to love music by my music loving parents. In fact my dad wrote lots of songs for a group he formed called “The Redeemed Family Voices” and most time, he took me along for programs to minister.

I was inspired early by Yolanda Adams, I would watch all of her performances and try to sing like her. 

But as time passed i began to yearn for more because  I felt there was more to music and wanted more. So when my relationship with the Holy Spirit became more intimate and I discovered and understood that music is a tool one can use to tell a story and from this story - a person’s spirit can be delivered, lifted and even healed. And that was how a ministry was born, I heard the word expressly from the Holy Spirit to go and use this gift to bless lives, change men and women, He said, go and testify in worship and the rest is history .

I'm called to worship, music that minister to God and bless His people. My aggressive  singing style has ushered many, - in concerts, crusades and churches-, into the presence of God.

Real Gentlehawk: Do you play any instrument? If no, if you had a choice to choose, which?

Ufuoma: I play the keyboard for myself when I want to write music. I also learning to play the guitar.

Real Gentlehawk:  Any favorite musician/artist? 

Ufuoma:  Oh yes! Though I love different genre of music and different artists, so there are a lot of artists I look up to. Artists such as Jill Scot, Sinach, Marvin Sapp, Yolanda Adams, Shirley Caesar, Plumb, Adele, Bob Marley, Whitney Houston and Ella Fitzgerald. All these artists have helped me be a better artist. And oh, by the way, I'm a Jazz lover.

Real Gentlehawk: Any embarrassing moment in your career so far?

Ufuoma: Hahaha! Yes o, the embarrassing moment that I will always remember was when I was to take the lead of a song. Asu Ekiye, was the music director, by the way, I actually forced myself into the program. After all the rehearsals, on the day of the concert when I was given the mic and after playing the intro, my voice ceased, I just couldn't bring out any sound. When it finally came out, it cracked and sounded horrible. It was so embarrassing that I wish the floor could just open and swallow me. Horrible! *laughs*

Real Gentlehawk: What is a perfect day like for you?

Ufuoma: A perfect day for me is to wake up at home, to hubby and my beautiful children. Can't trade that.

Real Gentlehawk: How will your friends describe you.

Ufuoma: Well I don't have so many friends cos I'm so poor at staying in touch but I've repented (meaning I'm trying to change). They will say, I love to say my mind and I hate to be taken for granted. Top most they will say I hate pride and love humility...

Real Gentlehawk: Can you talk about people or books you have read that have inspired you to embark on your career path / profession?

Ufuoma: I would say two people, Spiritually - the Holy spirit changed my life, He is my best and closest friend and buddy. Musically - Yolanda Adams affected, I started expressing myself a lot better after watching her. My best book is the bible, yes it truly is. And also Joseph Prince and Joyce Meyers books, I love them. I love all their books I've read so far. They have helped my mind and taught me about grace and God’s love and how to follow God’s plan for my life.

Real Gentlehawk: So what advice will you give to your younger self?

Ufuoma: Pursue your dream early, stop procrastinating. Do it now, don't allow people define you. Follow what you are passionate about.

Real Gentlehawk:  Any last words/advice?

Ufuoma: My last word of advice is to check yourself, where do people appreciate you the most, think about it. When you get to know, stay there cos that's your strength. Develop it, study it, don't look down on it, stir it. Forget negative people, and always have people that believe in you, around you. Don't ever give up.

So there you have it, another wonderful Nigerian doing her thing, influencing and impacting lives by just being true and real! 

Yet another time when I get to hijack a celebrity for you guys, remain real and true to yourself.

Don't be a cheaper version of your original.

I will like to hear from you, so send me your comments, suggestions or even let me know which celeb you want interviewed and what questions you want asked. And we will move mountains to try to get them for you.

Peace out!

Real Gentlehawk 

    

BEAUTY - IDENTITY THEFT

In a restaurant, sitting by my self, mind my our damn business like a good lady I think I am, these two ladies walked in. All loud and all, acting like "Hey y'all, notice me pleaseeeeeeeee don't you think I'm pretty , well, on a Jesus Day I pretend that nothing is wrong and just give the sweetest smile. But this day wasn't a Jesus Day and my church mind wasn't functioning. 

I was about to shhh, those ladies to please be a little civilized or pretend to be at least but d'maitre beat me to it.

But really, I ask, what is beauty? 

The definition of beauty differ from person to person. Ain't people say, beauty is in the eyes of the beholder?

Looking at these two ladies, hmm well, they are not hurtful to the eye. But truth be told somewhere not to far, is yet another lady who will definitely beat these ladies hands down. 

So if you think you are a beauty, here is a wake up call for ya! There will be someone somewhere out there, that is more beautiful than you and to make it worse, will come with the total package...so how about that? In your face! 

That's why I don't understand or get it, why some people bully others because of the way they look, colour of their skin or even their belief. It simply shows how shallow the mind of man is. Just sad.

Really if only people understand that we are all ugly and beautiful at the same time, they would understand that the prettiest of us all, still has a prettier person to make us feel ugly.

For me, beauty is like a bowl of beautifully made salad, veg or fruits, it don't matter, without all the various forms the veg/fruits salad will be just another tomatoes or Apple.

You get the point?

Just the fact that one is different is beauty to me. 

So let me also illustrate it to your this way, there is this guy who thinks he is all that. Bought this amazing car, built this magnificent house, even married the hot 'chick'. Only that ten or even maybe twenty years down the line, the car, big house and even the girl, are irrelevant because someone else is in town with a much better car, much bigger house and hotter chick! Nothing lasts, NOTHING! Even those people who spend their money rebuilding themselves in the name of so call plastic surgery (the word is REBUILD - So apology to those who actually need it medically to FIX  one thing or the other).

The way we see ourselves will forever fade, there will always be someone or something out there, much better.

It's called evolving and recreating!

I really don't know if humans are meant to learn from the past, obviously I don't think so.

Stay true and real to yourself.

Don't be the cheap version of your original!

Peace

PARENTING IN THIS CENTURY

Having kids is the most amazing experience for anyone who have them. Whether you are tight-ass person, a thug, straight or crooked, rich or poor, whoever you are, seeing your kid for the very first time, bring up some unexpected emotions in you, you never thought you had. Yep! A kid can do that to you. 

Now, don't think I don't know there are some off - people (here I put a question mark), who have traded their hearts for rocks - this very people never get any reaction from this experience - well, all I can say is, 'Y'all need Jesus!

So back to the real and true people...so kids can make a 300pound man behave silly or even force an irresponsible guy to grow up.  So you get the gist, right? 

Becoming a parent forces us to reevaluate our own relationship with our parents (the lucky ones who still have theirs around) and we then begin to see everything they did for us or to us through a parent's eye and not through a child's.

Here is the thing, being a parent is a privilege and even more being a parent in this technological century is a great blessing.

However having said that, parenting in century is the hardest and most challenging thing ever. Is it the drugs, cults, bullying, identity manipulation, sexuality and sexual orientation,social pressure, cultural diversity, looks, education etc, the list is unending and to top it up, the world is new a global village. So now you have more pressure and problems not only from your immediate society but the big world.

The days of 'It takes a village to train a child is fast becoming over'. Trust issues are becoming the norm.

Not to forget that kids these days are smarter and wiser...thanks to Google - the brain most parents don't have. How can I motivate my child to study hard in school just like my parents did, by telling me the oldest trick in the book. Remember when our parents use to say, 'I always took first position in school, never second'. But you can't use that, now that everyone's results are just a click away. Parents these days are so confused and delusional when it come to their kids. There's the question, "should I be a friend or a manager or a parent? 

Yet the greatest gift this century brings is technology has also made it easy...not easier, to bring up a child.

All it takes is modesty and balance. Giving a child a balanced life.

Parenting is sure becoming tougher as the years roll by, but the amazing thing is that once done rightly it is the most rewarding and beautiful thing ever.

So shout out to all the 21st century and beyond Parents, thank you for being so true and real. YOU ALL ROCK!

GUEST CELEBRITY - BRUNO OAIKHINAN ( BRUNO'S PLACE)

Hi guys,

Awhile ago, I promised to conduct once in awhile interviews with some celebrities who have and are impacting their industries and our beloved country for my blog.  

Nigerians, young and old,who are worthy of celebrating and not mediocrity. Real and true people whose words of wisdom should be valued because they overcame all odds doing what they do.

The first celebrity I had the pleasure of interviewing was the amazing UTI NWACHUKWU, a pleasure if I may add.

Without further ado, I present to you a wonderful young entrepreneur, who I have personally had the pleasure of learning a lot from. The prominent Banker turned Hairstylist! Mr. BRUNO OAIKHINAN of Bruno's Place.

But before I start, may I say,  if there be any question(s) or better still, you have any question you would want us to ask any of our celeb, please feel free to send in your questions. You can send them through our Facebook platform: www.facebook.com/RealGentlehawk or via Twitter: @gentlehawk or via Blog:  http://gentlehawk-real4u.blogspot.com. 

Be sure, we will get the answer(s) for you.

So enjoy!

A. Please can you give us a brief introduction of yourself. 

My name is Bruno Oaikhinan. I'm a banker turned hairstylist.

The CEO, Bruno's Place Unisex Salon located in the two largest malls in Nigeria- Ikeja City Mall, Lagos and Jabi Lake Mall, Abuja.

1. Can you tell us a bit about what growing up was like for you?

Growing up was cool, my parents were there for me. They sent me to school, encouraged me to go to church and monitored my social life as a child.

2. Can you talk about that one defining moment when you knew you wanted to be whom you are today?

 It started with knowing the true meaning of my name and discovering my purpose in life. My name is Bruno which means brown. Some people with brown dogs name them Bruno. I used to get offended when people say my name is a dog's name until when I discovered that when you flip the name dog, it gives you a god. That is who I am, a god created in the image and likeness of the Almighty God. That's why when I was asked to resign from the bank, I did not bark at them like a dog but took it as a god. Today, I'm an employer of labour with over 55 staff to date. The case of the stone, the builders rejected now the chief cornerstone.

3. What projects you are currently working on?

I just opened a branch in the largest mall in Nigeria, Jabi Lake Mall, Abuja. I'm presently working to establish the branch.

4. Can you talk about books you have read that have inspired you to embark on your career path / profession?

One book I can confidently tell that I have read is the Bible. I derive inspiration from the Holy book.

5. What challenges have you had to face in your chosen career?

One major challenge is getting right staff but I have overcome that by training fresh people and engaging them.

6. What’s the biggest mistake you’ve made in your life and how have you overcome it?

I can't remember any one now but for me every mistakes has been turned into blessings.

7. What keeps you motivated?

People's stories motivate me a lot. Your story is not just what happened to you but what you make out of what happened to you. Two of my colleagues were asked to resign and they died because they could not handle it. But look at me today, I'm a living testimony giving beauty and hope to my world.

8. What do you do when not working?

I Facebook, watch YouTube videos.

9. Who is your celebrity crush?

I don't have any for now. Still looking for. Lol!

10. What advice would you give to today’s youth?

 They should find a purpose for living, look for the right platform to express it, build their personal brand or their stories to sell their purpose and be passionate about what they do.

Well folks, there you have it...from our Banker turned Hairstylist, Mr. Bruno! 

Till I bring you another amazing celeb, a little word of advice...from Daniel Webster

       

                       "There is always room at the top"

Your Gal, peace!

 Real Gentlehawk 

A open letter to the one my heart beats for.

My dearest love and king,

The one who has captured my heart. The captain and lord of my world. My very own. The one who sees beyond my filth and baggages yet choses to love me and make me is very own. My music and song!

To the only one the rhythm of my soul plays an unending tune of love and passion!

The only star and moon in my sky, words fail to express the beauty and love we share. 

The love you give so freely knowing well how broken and battered I was. 

Just like the insignificant rock, a shadow of what I was made to be, you saw far behind my demur and saw a gem. Polish and refine me, lovely and delicately, you turned me into the rarest gem the world will ever see. 

And indeed you kept to your promise and still keeping the promise of those unforgettable words, "To me you belong, to me you were made! I will cultivate, nurture, honour and love you with every breathe I breath!". You love me like only you can, nurture my very existence, honour my body, spirit and soul, cultivate my land that it flourished! 

Oh my love, how can I not be decide to love you and adore you? Yes, decide...it is a decision i make and not one with my emotions. My emotions don't matter with you, because regardless of how I feel ( and you know, my emotions is like an alternating current...you can't blame a girl for being a girl) I will always love and serve you with my spirit, soul and my body.

I'm grateful to God that you were made specially for me and no other. Everything I went through and went through me, was but for me to know and worship you when you showed in my life. 

Your every glare, smile, touch and words leave me breathless. No one can love me the way you do and no one will ever will.

My own Prince, I adore you with every colour of my body and with the silence of every word of my soul. I am forever yours! 

What more can I ask for? 

WILLOWY CHRONICLES-Chapter 1 Cont'd

Twenty minutes later both ladies were ready to go. 

“You look sweet as expected. No wonder daddy chose you out of all the lots,” Susan tease her mother. 

“I know and I wonder so myself”, her mother tease as she picked up her car keys and steps out with Susan right behind.

Mrs. Marcelle Billy, a widow in her late fifties, took care of her two children, Susan and her brother Dick, after her husband Daniel Billy died in a ghastly motor accident on his way back from one of his usual frequent  business trip. And God knows she did not have it easy. Marcelle never got over the terrible shock of losing, not just her husband but also her confidant, friend, and most especially, her lover. She simply could not find herself loving anyone else - so, she devoted her time, love and energy bringing up and training her kids. 

Now, Dick - a successful interior designer and happily married with newly born set of twin. 

Susan, her elder - the one, she worries about constantly. Not married and not interested in dating like girls of her age. And isn’t that there aren’t men who won't  give their right arms as a price to have her but she just refuse their advances, reasons best known to her. 

There is Collins, Mark, Davidson, Eric and that kindhearted man who refused to be defeated….oh yes, Kevin - God bless his heart. Instead she has successfully and professionally convinces them that their friendship meant more to her than anything in the world, so why spoil something so perfect.

Forty minutes later, they drive into the hospital parking lot. The evening was breezy and very starry. 

“Good evening doctor”, said Susan as they stepped into the lobby. 

“Good evening Miss Billy and to you Mrs. Billy”, replied the young doctor shaking their hands. 

“Please, could you direct us to Amy Billy’s ward?” 

“Why not, Nurse Cathy, will take you to the new room cause we just transferred her to the recovery ward”. 

As they walk down the passage they make a left turn and walk a little more and there she was. 

“Here we are but visiting hours will be over in the next fifteen minutes”, said the nurse as she opened the door to Amy’s room. 

“Thank you”, Mrs. Billy smiled as she nodded her appreciation and stepped into the ward with her daughter. 

“You are welcome”, Cathy replied as she closed the door behind her. 

Hearing a familiar voice Amy who had been sleeping open her beautiful cat-eyes. 

“Hello my dear”, said Marcelle softly as she gave her daughter-in-law a kiss on her temple. 

“Hi Amy, we brought you flowers, we hope you like them”, Susan said giving her sister-in-law a peck as she handed her the flowers. 

“Oh thank you, they are beautiful”, she replied inhaling its fragrance and gives them back to Susan who arrange them beautifully in the flower vase she finds on the table besides her bed. Her room at the hospital was tastefully furnished with an unusual blend of yellow and green, Amy's favourite colors. Just then a nurse peeped in to ask if everything was okay. 

“Yes, except that we would like to see the babies. So could you please, take us to the nursery to see them, if it is okay?” asked Marcelle giving her a motherly smile. 

“Please, Come along”, said the nurse. 

“Amy, we’ll be back soon, okay?” Susan said as she squeezed her sister-in-law’s hand. 

Amy just simply nodded and smiled. 

“Oh aren’t they beautiful”, cried Susan when she saw the babies through the glass. 

“Yes, they are lovely and look at their tiny hands. They remind of me of you and Dick at that age. I’m really proud of Amy, you know”, Marcelle said proudly. 

“I’m so glad Dick found that wonderful girl, she made him into a better person”, Susan stated. 

Retracing their way back to Amy’s room, they found Dick sitting beside his wife whispering something into her ears while she giggled. 

“Hey Lover boy, congratulations”, smiled Susan giving him a kiss. 

“Hi Sue, mum”, said Dick hugging them both. 

“Have you informed your mum?” Marcelle asked Amy. 

“Yes, she came in with Joe and Betty a while ago”, Amy replied 

“So when are you expected to be discharged from the hospital?” asked Susan. 

“Well the doctor said, since there was no complications or whatsoever, he would just like to put her under observations for a day or two but will let us know by tomorrow morning”, replied Dick. 

Just then a nurse came in to inform them that visiting hours is over. They all said their goodnights, promising to call on her the next day.

The next morning Susan and her mother were up before dawn. 

“Good morning mum”, she said with a yawn.

“Good morning sweetheart. I hope you had a good night rest”, her mother replied 

“I slept with a smile on my face and I woke with it so we can say I did have a superb night, and yours?” 

“Fantastic, but you should have seen Chico and Dora this morning”, Marcelle smiled. 

“I can imagine. Those two had always been on Amy since the very first day they heard she was pregnant so I’m not at all surprised”, Susan laughed switching on the coffee maker. 

“So mum, would you like me to make you breakfast?” she asked.

“Why not, then I make the tea”, smiled her mother opening the cabinet to bring out the teapot. 

“I miss the usual morning talks with you”. 

“I do too darling, I do too. Between your job and your family, I know it is difficult balancing it but I’m still lucky and thankful to have you around at least. Anyways, Dick called, he said Amy will be coming home this evening. The doctor just confirmed and he would like us to be there when she gets home”. 

“Isn’t it too early for her to come home? I thought it usually takes some days or at least two before they gets to come home”, stated Susan. 

“Well, not necessarily. That’s required only if there are complications but in her case no issue, no complications, no CS. The mother and babies are doing fine and healthy, so I guess the doctor doesn’t see why she can’t be discharged. Besides, they will be putting her under observation for few hours to ascertain that things are alright. If they are convinced that everything is fine then she will come home but if not, even if it is the smallest doubt, they will make her stay back at the hospital. In this case, there is no issue and however Amy is a very healthy woman , during and even after the pregnancy”, her mother explained. 

“Oh! I see, so what time will she be discharged?” she asked, while she chopped the onions. 

"He said the doctor didn't give him a specific time but said she'll definitely be home today", Marcelle replied. 

"Well then, I think I could take a quick one to the beach after breakfast. I really need a swim in that big wavy water", Susan said as she set the table for breakfast. 

"What's up? I know you only go swimming at the beach when you have something you don't want to discuss with no one", stated her mum. 

"It's nothing mum. I just feel this urge to see the sea today, that's all", she replied. That very moment Dora walked in. 

"Hey Sis, Good morning Grandma", she said giving her Grandma a peck then hugging Susan. 

But before Marcelle could asked for Chico, he came running down the stairs as if he's been chased by a fierce lion. 

"Oh Chico, How many times have we told you to stop running in the house?" Susan smiled knowing well that he just loves running...everywhere. 

"Sorry, just excited. Good morning Gran", he answered sitting himself beside his Grandma. 

"All dressed up? Where are we off to, my little king?" his Grandma asked. 

"To see Aunt Amy and my cousins at the hospital, I thought you said we could see them in the morning", he replied looking confused. 

And this made everyone laugh. 

"Oh Chico, I know you can't wait to start showing off the fact that you are now an uncle", Susan laughed giving him a kiss on his head.

"So may we have breakfast, now" cried Dora. 

"Okay, you can help spread peanut butter on the toast", smiled Susan.

After breakfast, Dora left for her best friend’s house; they are going shopping and Chico went to his room to make calls to all his friends, telling them that now being an uncle is fun. 

"I should be back in an hour or two at most. But you can call me on my cell as soon as Dick calls. I will leave it on", said Susan as she place her tote bag properly over her slim shoulder and came over to give her mother a goodbye kiss. 

"Ok dear but drive carefully", replied her mother. 

"I will mum, bye".
