In My Bag

Sis Yemmie  tagged me in a bag meme. This involves taking a picture of my bag and all its contents.

This woman sef. I just thank my lucky stars that I have a designer bag or I would have died from shame. LOL

Anyway, here is a picture of my bag and all its valuable contents:

As you can see, this designer bag is a 'Buzz Lightyear' bag from the film 'Toy Story  3'

The contents:
(1) Disposable Spoon and Fork
(2) Drinking Straw
(3) Bottle Opener
(4) Serviette
(5) Toothpick

These items are in my bag because I like food and I aim to be always prepared - just in case I 'jam' free food.

LOL....Just kidding guys, That's my son's school lunch bag !

Here is a pic of my real bag:



The contents:

(Left to Right)
- Large Notebook: I use this for work-related stuff i.e. jotting down tasks, key info at work. I know a lot of people like using Windows Outlook to record tasks but I'm not a fan - because I like writing a daily list of work tasks and then smugly striking off whatever I've done. I also dont like the constant reminders you get from Outlook. It can be distracting when you are in the middle of something else.

- Smaller Notebook: I use this for personal notes i.e. ideas for research, this blog or poetry drafts

- Sunglasses:  As soon as I see a single ray of sunshine I put them on. LOL. Na one life oh....you have to rock that swagga.....any way, any day !

- Wallet: Loads of stuff in here...Old reciepts, Bank cards, Store cards ....little cash

- Novel: Adam Hochschild's 'King Leopold's Ghost' is about the exploitation of the Congo Free State between 1885 - 1908. It explores the atrocities committed by European colonial rulers in Africa. It is not an easy read at all. However, I am a firm believer in knowing more about the past because it often affects the present. As Bob Marley sang in Buffalo Soldier:
         ''If you know your history,
          Then you would know where you coming from,
          Then you wouldn't have to ask me,
          Who the 'eck do I think I am''
 

- Hand Cream 

- Hand Sanitizer:  This is an atiseptic alcohol rub - that I use when I am out and about in town. Particularly if I've been on public transport/ have used public bathrooms

- Red USB: For work stuff

- Black USB: For Personal Stuff

-  Pens 

- Pocket Tissues

- Packs of Dried Mango and Plaintain Chips:  I always have some nibbles in my bag because I often dont have time for breakfast and I want to avoid buying junk

- Bottle of Water:  I try to have some water on me because you can never tell when you will be stuck on a train mid-journey

- Phone 

- Keys 

- Comb 

- Oyster Card:  For travelling around London

- Trident Chewing Gum: For freshening my breath

- Make up Bag 

- Umbrella: In the UK, rain is never far away

Well, I dont know what my bag says about me. What do you think??

I'm now tagging the following people:


If I failed to tag you please forgive me......However, do let me know what you think my bag says about me !

Have a fab weekend

  8. First thing I noticed was "King Leopold's Ghost". That man was beastly...

    Anyway, your bag tells me you do a lot on the go and that we have A LOT in common: I also have 2 USBs in my bag, a notebook, pens, sunglasses, pocket tissues, etc.

    Beastly is the only way one can describe him and the whole agenda behind colonialism/ apartheid

    Una go kill person with laughter lollll

    The most amusing bag I have seen belonged to someone I did business with long time ago:
    He was a salesman who carried a briefcase around.

    One day, after a long discussion, I asked him for a pen to sign something. As he opened his briefcase slightly to get one; I spied 2 small wraps of Ogbono and crayfish in the briefcase.

    Giggling, I drew his attention to it and he answered 'I no go chop? ........na your fault wey you no find wife for me'

    Needless to say, I almost died of laughter
