The Main Event!


Okay so on Monday 20th May 2013 I was performing at a show called "The Main Event" at Bucks SU which was put together by the Musicians Society. 

The night was great one I was on a high by the end of the night and felt like I could just perform everyday. The dream is real just need to make it a reality! Funny enough after my performance I found out that Daniel Pearce was there. He's a musician that was a finalist on TV Show Popstars: The Rivals, was on XFactor and has done collabs with  Dizzee Rascal. Funny thing was after I sang and came down and was mingling he was looking over at me but I did not recognise him. He look really familair but I just couldnt place his face until my flatemate told me who he was. 

there he is in the background on the left......

My Favourite picture of the night!

Omarion - Admire......FAIL

OMG so I was chilling with my friend doing some work and we took a break to listen to some music and we stumbled across this Omarion (formerly from B2K......yes I was a B2K fan with posters up and everything) track of his new album I think.

I think he looks terrible.....

Now I was utterly disppointed and disgusted by this song and video. It was basically watching porn with music. Strippers in this video basically dry humping Omarion in this video and I know tits and ass sells but seriously? This video is essentially telling our young women that being a stripper is glamorous lifestyle. So here's this porn video.....try not to enjoy.


Omarion feat Problem & Tank - Admire



So what do you think FAIL???? Or did you actually enjoy this?


Now I have to say I was mostly disappointed in Tank as I love is his voice and his latest album is one of my favourites, I played it for week and weeks. This collab is truly a problem and I expected more from Tank not the others as Omarion wasn't really my favourite, his music was okay but I wasn't really blown away to be honest and who is this Problem dude?
But on a level Tank you need to fix up and not do theses collabs....it was like watching a theoritical collab between Tyrese and Nicki Manj which would be an epic FAIL.




Thanks for reading and I will leave you with this is one of my favourite songs by Tank which was a cover, originally done by Bonnie Raitt.

How does a BLACK woman mess up boiled dumpling?

Well it's possible because I did it....see what had happened was!
Okay so I decided at some ridiculous hour to cook boiled dumpling to have with my saltfish and fried for tomorrow's lunch. Now I figured if you can fry dumpling boiling should be a piece of cake but oh laws how it went wrong and tasted NOTHING like momma's. I did it how I was supposto but I'm not sue what went wrong. Good thing Easter break is coming up I can practice under momma's supervision and get this right. I know the first time it wouldn't be perfect but expected more.

I am not defeated...slightly discouraged but I will try again soon and I will let you know if this black woman failed making boiled dumpling twice...LOL. So in the end I ended up having fried dumpling instead as I have perfected those :)

Learning to be a domesticated Goddess in the kitchen, as I already know now to clean is hard. I swear my future husband betta be appreciative of all my efforts to win his heart. As the best way to a mans heart is through is stomach :) And trus I know this too well. Start dating...man wants to know Can you cook?

My Top 10 Favourite songs!!!

1. Justin Timberlake - Mirrors


I am just in love with this song I just can't get enough! Justin is back and the sound is amazing. I have always loved him and he is so talented. This track is my song of the year....yes I know there will be more song through the year but i don't suspect any can top it for me. 


2. Bridget Kelly - Special Delivery


This is my song! Can't remember how I stumbled across this song but I love it. Bridget has a beautiful voice and love listening to it on choice.fm as they just keep playing it. 

3. Atumpan - The Thing



 I started listening to Choice.FM again recently (usto listen all the time some years ago) and I heard it a few times and loved it. The minute I hear the song I blast my speakers and start dancing. 

4. Fuse ODG - Antenna



Okay so this song I am absolutely loving and yes I know 'm late as everyone has heard it for time but its new to me so whatever! I started listening to Choice.FM again recently (usto listen all the time some years ago) and I heard it a few times and loved it. You listen and can't help but move your body to the rhythm which I love!




When looking for the song on YouTube I initially found this video. This is a great video and the girl is a good dancer, makes me wish I could dance this good. I truly enjoyed watching them :)

5. Rhianna feat Chis Brown - Nobody's business




Okay so Rhianna is on it lately and he songs are on point. I have been loving what she's been doing musically. I love the collaboration  on this songs as their voices compliment each other. 

6. Macklemore - Same Love



I like this song as it is honest wether you believe in same sex or not. I like the female vocal and the simplicity of the song. The video was made is support of marriage equality and it supports the fight some people are fighting for, for a cause. 

7. Wiley feat Chipmunk - Reload



Now lately Wiley has just been doing it for me musically lately from heatwave, can you hear me and now reload. With all three I love the vocal hook first then the rest of the song. 

8. Labrinth feat Emeli Sande - Beneath your Beautiful




This song is so beautiful and a favourite of mine for a while. Emeil has been doing great and I can't wait to see her care further evolve in years to come. 

9. Laura Mvula - Green Garden



Laura is becoming a fav for me and this song is a good example of her talent. I first stumbled across her on itunes when they offered a free song of the week. This song was played to my class during a seminar and the minute i heard it there was no question.

10. Angel - The World


The day I heard wonderful I knew I would like most of his stuff. I love he voice and this song is another one I love. I can't want to see him do great things with his career. 

BONUS. Madtraxx feat Red Republik - Skamaress
My last song which is one I found last year but again LOVED.
I don't understand most of what they are saying but I love it.




DISRESPECT MY JESUS....what?!?

Disclaimer: This is my opinion, if you are offended then.....also to any "offensive" t-shirt wearers God loves you even if I don't!

Okay so I was browsing my Facebook and came across a picture of a guy wearing a disrespectful T-Shirt which said "Jesus is a Cunt" and I have to say I was highly offended, even angered to say the least. I was actually thankful I was not out "on a night out" and saw that as I would have just been in a bad mood.  I was actually amazed that someone had created such a t-shirt. So t satisfy my curiosity  i decided to google it, which i felt horrible typing Jesus is a C*** in my search engine...also it being in my search history. Anyways from my search I found other people wearing the same tshirt. What U do not understand is why? If you do not know about something and ignorantly bliss then why hate?!?

 


If you chose not to believe in Jesus then why disrespect...why not accept and be a respectful upstanding member of society? Just looking at these images makes me cringe and frustrates me but what can I do.....everyone is entitles to freedom of speech and to express themselves how they want. What I can say is that I can be a  lackadaisical Christian at times just this not one of those times. I believe I am a daughter of the most high and you call him a .....so essentially your calling me a c***. 

So what is the t-shirt for people rebelling....not wanting to conform? Rebelling against the one who made it possible for you to even exist. Oh wait never mind  he did not create you as you probably believe you evolved from monkeys.

Now I do not believe in Allah but I do not find it funny for people to make fun of any religion and being straight up disrespectful! Looking at this image below I'm in shock can't believe this guy actually showed his face.



So you wanna call my Jesus a c*** well your a...............okay well Jesus would want me to be more like him and forgive....turn the other cheek. Okay so because I know I'm human and I can only strive to be like him I will hold my tongue but be blissfully ignorant but seriously be SILENT (in what you wear and say). But you can wear what you want and degrade but I and many others will were other things that will uplift, inspire and praise his name...JESUS.

As an Adventist & Christian I implore you stand up for what you believe and not just accept things because it is what is happening. 

I will stand up for Christ, will you?
I am PROUD to love JESUS are you? ( damn i did not go to church all my life, have family worship for 23 years and get baptized for nothing.....for so anybody to disrespect.)


Dear Jesus,
I do not know how you do it as if it was me I would just say "gimme me back my breath", but then I guess half the world would be dead so there's a reason you have the power and I don't :)  
I pray and ask you to help me to be patient with the ignorant people of this world and to be more like you. I thank you for live and all you have done for me, I also so pray for "those" people too (Lord you know how hard it was for me to say that.....keep that in mind). 

Thanks
