Hey peeps,
I am disturbed, I mean seriously disturbed, I watched a program on Channel 4 last night part of the Dispatches series and image my horror when I saw young children in Nigeria, being killed, tortured, or maimed by their parents, because their Pastor at their churches suspect that the children are WITCHES - WTH????
OK forgive me if I am wrong , are we in the dark ages?
These are children????? Aren't parents supposed to protect their children.
Don't get me wrong I know that in some parts of the world, child protection is not high on the priority list, but what is more sickening are so called Pastors - People of the church that is condoning these acts in their own country to their own people......one woman was secretly filmed and her attitude was atrocious, which made it more eye opening was her veiled threat to the interviewer .......
http://bit.ly/8Q0wL0 - this is the link of people who are trying to make a difference, if you can help, no matter how small contact them
Until da next Tyme !

Getting the Christmas Feeling !
Whasssssup peeps !
Yep is that time again! CHRISTMAS is almost here and we have 32 shopping days to Christmas and 23 sleeps to when i head off again .... yeah!
OK so what has been happening in my life the last week .
I headed out to Rotterdam to hang with my friend Jaydine, had a blast for a few days.
In that time , I heard that London was off the hook, wouldn't you know the weekend that I was away we get invaded by, Mariah Carey,Beyonce, Rhianna, JayZ, just to name a few.....wow! London still has it then :)
So I am finally gonna admit it, I am a twitter chick.... yes I swear I am gonna walk into a lamp post as I am always walking head down typing away on my crackberry.... this is wrong I know, buts its fun!......
So between now and when I leave , I will be sending you all sort of christmassy stuff, ranging from Christmas recipes, bargains, deals, gift and ideas...... why you may ask, good question :)
This time of the year is stressful enough for most people, I personally jump on a plane and avoid it all, but for most that are not as lucky , facing it here can be stressful, so hopefully my tips and ideas may make a difference, no matter how small.
Until da next Tyme

1. Nail polish
Pick up the December edition of Glamour magazine and you'll get a free 10ml Nail Inc bottle of nail varnish, RRP £10. There are four colours to choose from. Obviously this does involve buying the £2 magazine, so it's probably only worth it if you were going to buy a mag anyway.
2. Free meal
Buy one main course and get another free at Prezzo when you register here www.telegraph.co.uk/promotions/6415819/Food-offer-2-for-1-main-meals-at-Prezzo.html (via the Telegraph) and print off the voucher.
3. Free book

Just bear in mind that you will have to show evidence of traveling to Kent by train!
6. Free music

Finally, five things you can get for a penny:
Marks & Spencer is running another of its hugely popular Penny Bazaars this Friday (13th November). In the event – to mark the store's 125th birthday – 15 items will be on sale for just 1p each.

I love who I am !!!
hello peeps,
How was your weekend? what did y'all get up to ??? I hope it was all good clean fun :)
This weekend I headed to my favourite haunt .... The Halo and listened to a young guy Nathan Watson....
OK this guy is gonna be big, ( you heard it from me ) he has been under the radar for a while and his management is now slowly letting him spread his wings..... his style is unusual, as he is adaptable to anything which makes him very unique.
I will be keeping on eye on this young man, and following him to see what surprises he has in store for us.
Congratulations to David Haye..... there is nothing more heart warming than a David v Goliath story and he did the UK proud and he still looks sexy :)
The C Word
People we have 45 shopping days left to Christmas
Are people really spending money this year? isn't the economy still suffering or did I miss something; I know that I am still suffering so where is all this cash coming from? what has people being hiding stuff under their mattress ????
Euro Millions Lottery
Go on admit it.... who wasn't wishing it was them who had one of the winning Euro millions lottery ticket for £45m.
I know I was :) I am human, and I ain't hating , just saying, I wish the 2 winners luck, and maybe I am saying I wish I was in their shoes, but I know with that amount of money - as Biggie would say "mo money mo problems"
So I am content with my current life style until I hit the jackpot.....
Until da next Tyme !

Back on the Road again !
hey y'all
So whats good? How has your week been? Mine has been hectic as usual, but I am slowing getting through it. I have been meaning to blog this since last week... but time is so short!
There are few things I wanna get off my chest this week, some are political and some are just pure NONSENSE but still needs to be said :)
so I am gonna adddress the NONSENSE!
Xcraptor
Can someone tell me what the hell is going on??? JEDWARD? are you serious?
Over the last few weeks like most of the UK I have been slightly entertained by the goings on of this show; with the wardrobe malfunctions - Whitney Houston, the lack of talent - John and Edward and the judges bitchiness and lack of foresight etc.
However I have tolerated this all to an extent as I thought that the public would see though this farce and in the end even though this show is no longer about talent , but more about money, they would do the right thing..... boy was I wrong :(
The fact that Rachel was voted from the show - because Simon was an A$$ and his lack of ownership and took the cowards way out , but somewhere in the UK a bunch of over zealous teenage girls are voting for these complete MORONS and making even more of a mockery of the UK music scene.
I know in this game there has to be a cheese factor and yes maybe Rachel is not wooing the audience, but you cannot deny that she has talent far more than those two wannabe AHA twins, who seem to have only just learnt the art of having a conversation with out acting a fool.
My godson Izaiah sing far better than they do ... KMT!
So with that I have banned the XCRAPTOR from my Saturday night viewing!!!
