Me in 2009...crazzyyyyy LOL

So 1 woke up and this is really whats on my mind!!!

April 22, 2009 at 1:49am
After 24 not so fabulous yrs of being on this earth,I have come to realize that pretense seems to be the order of the day with many of my so so called friends and acquaintances!!
School is out n all my peers from kindergarten all the way up r distributed all over the world but the main thing on everybody's mind is their advancement in life!Some of us are fortunate enough to have things handed down to us and parents who have spoilt us to the point where we don't even have to work too hard to make ends meet!

My problem really is,why is it that it is sometimes seen fit to trample someone else's dreams for selfish and unnecessary gains??
Ppl hiding things from each other because it might somehow make them a bit prettier or fashion forward!! The ppl who make our clothes and do our hair need to make money too so why hide because u don't want someone else to have a simular style,in fact, if u hate the idea so much how about telling them no u don't appreciate it instead of ignoring them or constantly bragging??

Then there are those who pretend to like you because of who u know!! Networking is key to survival in today's society but constantly using a friend for who they know doesn't come off right with the used party!
Friends of friends,this one is for u!!! Don't start mix up when u don't know what the matter really is! If u truly care then u will get down to the "meat of the matter" n try to have it resolved confidentially instead of making your 600+ friends on fb know about it!!
Hating for no reason is another touchy area that some of us may face. I have learnt that not everybody is going to like u especially if they don't know u...don't pretend to hate someone because your friend hates them...when they become friends,the person might neglect your friendship that once was but because you don't have a mind of your own it just went sour!!
Not to leave the guys out of this one,let's touch on a few issues like trying to spoil a great friendship by falling for someone who obviously has no interest whatsoever in you...not cool!!
Relationship wise,I never seem to understand how men can pretend that everything is all good when they ignore their girlfriends for bed,tv and chilling with friends...if u need a companion to sit n watch your every move then get a dog! Women tend to be more emotional than their male counterparts and most times their emotions r crushed due to lack of compromise,care and most importantly, ATTENTION!!

With all of this said...my little headache just went away (((wheeeeewwww))
But on a serious note we all need to do a bit of soul searching n try to help each other in this economic crisis we face...never take your friends for granted,always appreciate them because the simplest gestures really do count!!

No Place Like Home

Helleeerrrr (Madea's voice)

Are you as happy to see the weekend as I was? I'm pretty sure you were. Even though I was to attend a funeral things were not looking up in terms of transportation so I opted to make the drive home to St. Thomas.
What a fruitful parish to be from yet the people are still so 19th century. Lol... I'm mean I know but it's the truth.
Time and time again I have considered moving back home but every time I leave here and drive back to Kingston I realize why I decide to sit there and pay that rent. Its just too far!!!
This weekend has been full of fruits and the occasional bathroom visits :) along with a lovely hairdo from my foundation stylist Kadie..she's so good to me and very affordable too.
I'm glad I'm home though, the mangoes and the plums just reminds me of when i was a kid climbing all these trees at 6am trying to get the first batch before my brother came out. It's nice and cool now too and the morning fresh air is like non other.  
Last weekend I did another 5k. New gears, new time... I'm getting there slowly but surely. I really love to run. Time over 5.47 KM..32.07 minutes. Let's shave the 2 min for the next run shall we 

Overall it's been an awesome weekend...apart from some slight miscommunication that of course I can handle. 
I leave you with this thought : Position, power, money or popularity do not a great man make. It's the way in which we use this to help others that determines how great we are.

Changes

IT FINALLY RAINED!!!! 
Yes it did for almost a week. 

As the weather changes, we look into our lives and contemplate the changes we should be making to make ourselves better. Do I need a new car, job, apartment?...these are the things we ask ourselves from time to time. Contrary to popular belief, not all change is bad. Situations may arise causing change to be imminent and what else can we do but to embrace them right?

Recently I got talking to an old school mate of mine (he’s not that old but..lol) and we were discussing how changes have started to affect relationships and how you chose a partner. Are we willing enough to be sexually experimental, can we be that ride or die partner? I for one am not against a person’s sexual orientation, it’s your life and you do whatever but bear in mind that even though you may find someone who shares your views you have to be careful not to try and force your views on someone else. Not everyone embraces their physical appearances as well as others. Matters of insecurities often arise causing an individual to be reluctant to such changes that to you may seem like the norm.


It is then for us to reevaluate our lives and say hey, maybe this isn’t so bad after all…let’s do it.

Journey

Hellooooo Maayyyyyyy
It's springtime :). I would love to be in New York because there is definitely no spring in Jamaica. We hardly even have water here. it's been a week since I've had a hot shower and boy do I miss those. This drought is really out of hand this year in Kingston. Other parishes have been having lovely rainfall, but I don't know rasta. The Kingstonians must have done God something for the place to be this dry. The lawns look horrible and the Mona reservoir is almost at it's last.
PLEASE LORD WE NEED SOME RAIN!!!!!!!

Carnival season has come and passed and I must say i enjoyed the fetes more than road march. Maybe because i didn't have my feathers on and my crew was MIA most of the time or maybe i'm just getting old. It was a good season though and i look forward to it next year.

Kept my word and went back to school and believe me it has been a headache. I'd rather be at home watching The Game or stretching away in yoga class. Class assignments, groupwork, tests, GROUPWORK -__-..it's a never ending series of events but with each day my dream gets bigger so I am grateful to meet people who I can see being a part of this dream

I'm also on that natural hair journey (isn't everbody these days). I wish I had started sooner because now i don't have the patience to deal with it. It's becoming pretty annoying doing this moisturize and seal regimen but some days it's really cute. Trudy just cannot be pleased lol. I see braids in the near future, preferably at the end of the month to start my vacation right. I look forward to being away and seeing people i haven't in ages. Especially to meet little Zy Zy, she should be all of 3 months old when i get there. 
I'll definitely take pics for the blog end of May into early June as I am sure this vacation will be epic.
Cheers :)

Hi guyyssssss :) So today marks 6 years of me being a personal chef..I know if Denise were alive she would say something cheeky like "time to quit" lol. 
RIP Denise.
So I did the sigma run on the weekend and my horrible time was 34:19. I really tried to run but it was just not happening as fast as I wanted it to...I was a little tired tho considering i was up from 4am cooking for my team. Maybe Kingston city run on March 9 will be better. I want to take my running to a whole new level but i think i need to start on the treadmill and really learn to control my breathing <----This is KEY.
I am starting to realize that i can't stay mad anymore even though I really really try. I think yoga is actually changing me...i wonder how it can help with my procrastination though? So much to do in so little time and i'm completely lacking focus and drive. Two receptions coming up next week and I am not looking forward to them at all ONLY because it's Friday and Saturday but i need that overtime to get a few things for the house. 
On a bigger note, my Rotaract club is having a few interesting events Feb-March. Rotaract mingle is something that I believe entrepreneurs should just take even a half hour out their evening to come and meet potential customers, investors etc because believe me..you never really know who is who until you impress them. 



It's a really good initiative by the professional development committee and I really hope it gets alot of support. #NKRC #ROTARACT #SERVICEABOVESELF

February...the month that everybody uses to decide if their spouse loves them. A very popular tradition, one I may add that i do not partake in. My spouse needs to know I love them every single day, that's how relationships should be.
Speaking of Relationships, why do some people feel that they can just pick up someone out of thin air and start a relationship with them? I mean where are the dates? Movies, dinner, drinks even lunch..nutn??!!! People cannot possible be that lonely to have a relationship where dating isn't involved UNLESS it's just meant to be a short term thing then by all means go ahead.
I can never understand some men, (i'm going to use men as an example because i'm a woman), they will tell you all kinds of things over the phone or social media then tell you that you are in a relationship...come on now!!! Not even teenagers are doing that anymore. And where do they get off calling people baby? Helloooooooo...I'm a grown woman please address me by my name!!! Then there are those who are all about social media and their life out of it is extremely boring...how about you do some volunteering, learn a skill...find something constructive to do with some of your time to help somebody instead of spending all day taking selfies. These just helps to distinguish the men from the boys and show why most women are now attracted to older men. It's not just the security, it's the fact that the vast majority doesn't engulf themselves in things of no purpose. 
We need to take a second look at our lives, we all have a purpose and i'm pretty sure it's not just making/ having babies, partying and drinking. There are so many people out there who are less fortunate, who cannot afford to be bored or they might lose their next meal. It's for us, the able bodies of society to set an example and help others. 
 Having a relationship is a beautiful thing but let's be real, great relationships cannot be forced...those usually end before they even start. In the mean time, find something worthwhile to do. Life is way too short to be hung up on some man /woman when there is work out there to be done.

And then some...

Well hello there 2014... you haven't been bad so far and I appreciate that.
R.I.P Denise Lee
It's been 5 months already and it's just so hard to believe that someone so close to me is gone forever. I miss her terribly especially these days when I have decisions to make. Her advise was harsh but it always helped.
Since her passing I decided that I want to try and be a better person mentally, physically, socially and spiritually ( still far from where I want to be) . I find myself not being easily angered anymore or should I say.. I don't respond with the expected outburst anymore. I have a lot of quiet time and I talk to a selected few people who are usually uplifting and very entertaining as well...I am loving the new me. 
As I approach the milestone 30 without my best friend, I look back at my life and I see all the people that I've hurt, those who hurt me, those who I've helped, those who've helped me and I'm grateful for it all because without it I wouldn't be the woman I am today. Of course I am still a little girl at heart but that keeps me looking young. 
A lot to work on, a lot of  possibilities in store. As I continue to strive to be as positive as I can be I only ask that the people around me will see my changes and continue to encourage me to be my best.
I raise my tea cup to loving more, giving more, smiling more and of course living more. Cheers :)
