The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.” – Eleanor Roosevelt
I came across this quote while going through the images I took the day I went out with Deb. Deb is a very close friend of mine, we attend the same church and we often chat on WhatsApp most time. 2 weeks ago was my birthday (Oct 31st) even on that day I was at work, I did not let anyone know about it because I didn’t want the attention that comes to a birthday boy. Although I got a lot of text and call from friends and family wishing me, I chatted Deb up and I promise to celebrate my birthday with her. Well, I had the promise fulfilled today, yeah I know it was a long time but we chose what we do in our life and when we do it.
Before the main day I had search on different restaurants I can take her too which won’t cost me a lot and I was luck to find the Six7 restaurant located in NAF valley estate. On the main day, I and Deb met at a bus stop because we live quite a bit far from each other.
Oh, that’s Deb.
After we met, we took a cab to NAF vally estate (Nigeria Air Force valley) we got there in a couple of minutes and to my surprise the restaurant was filled up. A lady was celebrating her promotion, a lot of her friends and family came around to celebrate with her. Deb and I too a table and the waiter came to take out other
I was the only one taking the pictures since Deb claims her camera wasn’t too good. In a short while, the food came and I was happy about that because I didn’t eat before leaving my house
I had rice, chicken, fish, plantain with a soft drink while Deb had chicken, fish, plantain and soft drinks, of course we also had table water on the table.
I was busy looking at the food because I was so hungry without realizing Deb was taking shot of me.
I got to know because she wasn’t responding to everything I was saying so I had to raise my head up to see what she was up too then boom
I had to pretend I wasn’t hungry so she could take all the pictures she wanted to take before proceeding to eating this delicious food on my table. Before I dig in, I took some shot of my food and it was looking more delicious in camera.
It was really fun, we started eat, forgot about taken more shot. After our food, we spoke some more, talk about family and other interesting things. We spoke for about 1 hour 30 minute after we finished eating before decided to take a stroll around the estate then going home. One thing about Deb is that she’s not good with the camera, most of the photo taken by her was well, I won’t say anything about her photography skills. We walked around the estate. Took some final shot then head home
It was really a Happy day out. Been a while I had much fun like this, I guess I might be doing this again. Oh, the bills for the food is not what I would want to talk about but it was within the budget😁😁
Thanks for reading.
