OH HAPPY DAYS WHEN MICHAEL WAS ..... HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL !

YESTERDAY I WAS reading  http://www.clutchmagonline.com/2013/08/miley-cyrus-behaving-badly-is-not-a-black-thing/ about THE MTV AWARDS  performances of MC and  "Lady" G and was not very surprised by the angry reactions of some of the viewers.

 And  I am SOOOOOO HAPPY that  I  do not have any more a TV at home because my niece ( she is 16)  wanted to watch the show but UNFORTUNATELY she could see some snippets on YouTube.

 

I don't know what is the worst thing : The fact that females entertainers have this URGE NEED TO TAKE OFF THEIR CLOTHES TO  PERFORM in a very sexual way OF COURSE. Because MUSIC  without EXPLICIT SEXUAL CONTENTS NEVER EVER SOLD BEFORE... YEAH!

Reading through the Daily mail Online I saw the pictures of "Lady" G  with a bikini / string talking to a male singer backstage. And you can notice that he WAS FULLY COVERED LIKE 100 % OF  THEM BUT GUESS WHAT IT IS ALWAYS THE FEMALES WHO CAN FEEL THE " HOT  WEATHER" inside doors.

And I was disgusted  by some of the pictures of  the provocative dance made  by a 20 years old girl to a 36 years old married man DAMN  HE CAN BE HER FATHER ! But today , does it really matters in " HOLLYWIERD".

Some black readers were mad because MC's  behaviour was attribute  to " BEING OR COPYING  BLACK  CULTURE". BECAUSE BEHAVING BADLY is  the monopole of Black people. LOL

 

ANYWAY because the 29 Th August will be Michael Jackson birthday's ( HE would have been 54), I just want to :remind you WHAT MUSIC AND ENTERTAINMENT  WAS, IS ...AND MUST BE : 

IF you want to create a real buzz and stay in  people minds and memory just DO OR BE LIKE THIS AND I ASSURE YOU NOBODY WILL FORGET YOU.BECAUSE there will be always someone more younger and "sexier" ( aka SOMEONE WILLING TO TAKE OFF THEIR CLOTHES WHEN PERFORMING ) than you BUT REAL NATURAL TALENT, INNOVATION ADD WITH YOUR LOVE AND RESPECT  OF MUSIC AND THE PUBLIC ( for me all this are linked).... that's what make you TIMELESS AND UNFORGETTABLE.

I JUST WANT TO FINISH WITH THIS SONG "The Lost Children" from  INVINCIBLE ( Michael's last album) because I think that WE ARE THE LOST CHILDREN  when thing like this happened as a community / society  we failed  BIG TIME when we can not stop this kind of behaviour to be advertise by the media and their ambassadors.

 When we can not stop our children to emulate this destructive way of life and thinking. THAT' S WHY WE NEED TO PRAY FOR ALL THE LOST CHILDREN  NOT JUST THE DISAPPEARED ONES BUT ALL OF US BECAUSE WE ARE REALLY LOST.......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MICHAEL AND AGAIN THANK YOU !

I AM BACK AND SETTLED DOWN.

I FINALLY LOCATED IN MY NEW FLAT. SINCE 2 DAYS NOW I AM OFFICIALLY LIVING THERE. I JUST NEED NOW TO CLEAN MY OLD FLAT BEFORE RETURNING THE KEYS. I AM HAPPY TO HAVE FINISHED MY RELOCATION DUTY. LOL

NOW I CAN JUST REST FOR THE NEXT 3 WEEKS BEFORE GOING BACK TO WORK. MY LAND LINE AND  INTERNET WORK PERFECTLY NOW.

LOVE LOVE MY NEW PLACE IT IS A LITTLE BIT MORE COSY THAN THE OLD ONE.  I ONLY HAVE 2 BEDROOMS INSTEAD OF 3 BUT TO BE HONEST THE THIRD ONE WAS VERY VERY TINY AND I WASN'T USING IT AT ALL.

I DID NOT DO A LOT OF THINGS ON MY HAIR, I JUST MADE SOME BRAIDS  BECAUSE I WAS NOT BOTHERING BY THAT EVEN THE MAINTENANCE WAS VERY LOW
 ( CO WASHING + COCONUT OIL ).

I WANT MY HOLIDAYS  TO START BECAUSE I PLAN TO GO ON SOME PICNICS AROUND LONDON PARKS WITH MY SISTER AND MY NIECE. THE WEATHER IS VERY GOOD FOR THAT KIND OF EXCURSION.

I ALSO WANT TO KEEP MY HAIR THAT WAY UNTIL THE END OF AUGUST .... I REALLY REALLY WANT  TO FEEL THAT I AM ON HOLIDAYS. EVEN THE WEIGHT WATCHERS SESSIONS HAVE BEEN STOPPED .

 I STILL FOLLOWING THE DIET BUT I AM NOT GOING TO BE WEIGHT SO I HOPE THAT I WILL AT LEAST  BE THE SAME IN THE SCALE  WHEN I  WILL RETURN. I JUST WANT TO NOT PUT ON. ( YOU SEE, I AM NOT TOO DIFFICULT.....LOL ).

MY HOLIDAYS ARE VERY SACRED TO ME EVEN IF I AM NOT GOING SOMEWHERE.

NEW ADDRESS, NEW MENTALITY ....LOL

MY LAST PICS IN MY FORMER  BATHROOM

THIS IS IT..... I JUST FINISHED TO MOVE IN IN MY NEW ADDRESS AND EVEN IF IT IS NOT ENTIRELY DONE NEXT WEEK, STARTING BY THURSDAY I WILL LIVE THERE.
 I ALREADY MAKE A LOT OF CHANGE FOR MY NEW HOME. ESPECIALLY FOR MY MAIL IT WAS QUITE A LOT OF WORK AND BORING AT THE SAME TIME BUT IT HAS TO BE DONE.
ISN'T IT...LOL

LAST TIME TO DO MY HAIR IN THIS  FLAT

YES, I AM MOVING  FROM 2 STREETS BUT I DO HAVE TO CHANGE MY WAY OF LIFE, BECAUSE WHEN I WAS PACKING UP, I NEVER REALISED HOW MUCH STUFF ( CLOTHES, SHOES, BOOKS, MAGAZINES, ETC....) I HAD.

I JUST MADE A TWIST OUT FOR THE WEEK 

AND IT WAS A HUGE SHOCK BECAUSE SOME OF THEM LIKE SHOES OR CLOTHES WERE PURCHASED WITHOUT BEEN WORE.
I JUST GAVE AWAY HALF OF MY CLOTHES AND SHOES TO  A CHARITY AND I JUST DUMPED ALL MY MAGAZINES ( ESSENCE, NEW AFRICAN WOMAN, EBONY....) TO THE APPROPRIATE RECYCLING BIN. I WILL NOT TAKE MY TV NO  NEED IT ANY MORE
 ( I NEVER WATCHED IT SINCE 10 YEARS).

IT WAS NECESSARY TO LIGHTEN UP MY POSSESSIONS BUT I REALISED THAT IT WAS ALSO  IMPERATIVE TO LIGHTEN UP  "MY MIND".. HOW ? JUST BY MAKING A PLEDGE.
I WILL NOT BUY ANY MORE CLOTHES, MAGAZINES  AND SHOES. CAN I KEEP MY PROMESS ?

BECAUSE SINCERELY ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.

TOO MUCH MONEY SPENT ON STUFF WHEN IF I LOOK CAREFULLY I ALWAYS WORE THE SAME OUTFITS AND ONLY 3 TYPES OF SHOES.
 BECAUSE I JUST LIKE TO  BE COMFORTABLE  WHEN I AM MOVING AROUND.  WITHOUT REALISING IT I WAS A SHOP ALCOHOLIC...LOL... I KNOW THAT I WILL DEFINITIVELY SAVE A LOT OF MONEY NOW.

SO NEW ADDRESS, NEW MENTALITY... LOL

I WILL BE BACK WHEN EVERYTHING WILL BE SETTLED IN MY NEW FLAT... I MEAN THE LAND LINE AND THE INTERNET BECAUSE TO BE HONEST IT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT ISSUE TO BE ADDRESS FOR ME  NOW. LOL

YES, I AM AFRICAN : TRIBAL MAKE UP

I AM NOT SOMEONE WHO REALLY LIKE TO WEAR MAKE UP EVERYDAY. DON'T KNOW WHY? MAYBE BECAUSE WHEN I WAS YOUNG MY MUM WAS AGAINST IT AND WHEN I WENT TO UNIVERSITY EVEN WITH THE FREEDOM TO DO IT I JUST LOST INTEREST IN IT.
THEN I STARTED TO WORK PART TIME IN DISNEYLAND PARIS WHERE MAKE UP WAS QUITE FORBIDDEN EXCEPT I THINK FOUNDATION AND LIPSTICK.

MY ORIGINAL IDEA 

PLUS I DON'T LIKE  THE DIFFERENCE THAT IT MAKES WHEN YOU TAKE OFF THE MAKE UP SOMETIMES IT LOOKS LIKE  IT  IS A DIFFERENT PERSON. I PREFER TO SEE PEOPLE IN NATURAL SO WHEN THEY  USE MAKE UP THE DIFFERENCE MAKE THEM  LOOK BEAUTIFUL. BUT IF YOU SEE PEOPLE ONLY WITH MAKE UP EVERY TIME THEN THE DAY YOU SEE THEM WITHOUT  THEY LOOK  TIRED IN SOME CASE SICK. ( AKA ME)  LOL

MY FAVOURITE

ANYWAY BECAUSE I AM AFRICAN I WISH WE WILL BE MORE INTO WEARING OR MAKE UP QUITE DIFFERENTLY. THERE IS NO REASON TO APPLY "THE WESTERN WAY".  WHEN I WAS WATCHING THE DOCUMENTARY ABOUT AIDS I NOTICED THAT THE SOUTH AFRICAN FEMALE  INTERVENER WAS WEARING A VERY LIGHT "TRIBAL MAKE UP".
 ( I KNOW THAT'S JUST MAKE UP ANYWAY AND NOT TRIBAL BECAUSE IT IS NOT FROM A WESTERN TRADITION ).

THIS IS THE KIND OF SIMPLICITY  THAT I LIKE

SO  I DECIDE TO TRY IT ON ME FOR THE FUN AND MAYBE I WILL EXCEL BECAUSE IT IS NOT THAT EASY THAT IT SEEMS ESPECIALLY IF YOU WANT SOME COLOUR LIKE WHITE.
IN THE BEGINNING I WANTED TO MAKE  1 LINE OF RED DOTS AND 1 LINE OF WHITE IN COORDINATION WITH MY SCARF BUT I COULDN'T FIND A WHITE SUBSTANCE SO I END UP USING  A BLACK PENCIL.

BETTER THAN A TATOO

I WANTED SOMETHING VERY EASY AND SIMPLE LIKE THE SOUTH AFRICAN WOMAN.
AND ABOVE ALLLLLLLL  I  LOOOOOOVE THE EFFECT ON OUR SKIN.
THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX AND TRY THIS NEW APPROACH OF MAKE UP NOT JUST FOR CARNAVAL .LOL

I TRIED MY BEST LOL

NOW IT IS TIME TO MOVE OUT FINALLY ......

I FINALLY FOUND A NEW FLAT IN EXTREMIS JUST 2 STREETS  BEHIND THE HOUSE WHERE I LIVE. I WAS SO HAPPY UNTIL YESTERDAY WHEN ONE OF THE AGENCY  THAT I USED TOLD ME THAT THEY WILL NOT REFUND ME MY INITIAL DEPOSIT OF £ 250 WHEN I REFUSED THEIR HOUSE'S PROPOSAL.

 I WAS SO  SHOCKED BECAUSE THEY NEVER TOLD ME THAT  THE LANDLORD WANTED ME AS  THE TENANT. THEY TOLD ME THAT I HAD A VERY FEW CHANCES.  SO I APPLIED TO ANOTHER AGENCY  TO GET MORE OPTIONS AND ONE FOUND ME " THE PERFECT FLAT WITH THE PERFECT PRICE ".

 SO I PAID THE £ 300 DEPOSIT THINKING THAT I WILL BE ABLE TO RECLAIM MY £ 250.... BUT IT IS A BIG NO... YEAH !
ANYWAY THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT I HAVE MY NEW ADDRESS AND I AM MOVING OUT ... A LITTLE BIT BITTER  BUT THAT'S LIFE.

I ALSO STARTED TO MAKE ALL THE CHANGING ADDRESS REQUIREMENTS SO I WILL BE WITHOUT A LAND LINE PHONE AND INTERNET  FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS. SO I WILL JUST  THIS TIME TO  UNPACK...... YEAH !A VERY BORING JOB BUT IT HAS TO BE DONE.LOL

THE POSITIVE SIDE IS THAT MY NIECE AND MY OTHER SISTER WILL HELP ME TO MOVE OUT. I HOPE TO BE IN THE NEW FLAT THIS WEEK END. THE FLAT IS IN THE SAME AREA  BUT A MORE CLOSER FROM MY CHURCH.. WHICH IS FANTASTIC FOR ME.

ANNOYING SHRINKAGE..... LOL

I KNOW THAT SHRINKAGE IS PART OF OUR HAIR HERITAGE BUT SOMETIMES IT JUST ANNOYED ME. BECAUSE IT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO KNOW IF YOU ARE MAKING A PROGRESS IN THE LENGTH AREA. AND TO BE HONEST WHEN YOU ARE NOT VERY GOOD AT STYLING YOUR HAIR LIKE ME.
 YES I AM AN AVERAGE " BRAIDER " AND AN AWFUL" TWISTER" ....LOL

MAYBE THAT'S WHY I CAN'T HAVE THE RESULTS THAT I WANT. FOR ME IT IS TOO SLOW TO SEE A GOOD LENGTH.
I KNOW THAT I TRIMMED MY HAIR RECENTLY BUT NOW IT IS QUITE DEPRESSING. MY HAIR ARE STILL THICK BUT THE LENGTH IS NOT VERY IMPRESSIVE FOR MY STANDARD.

I WATCHED A LOT OF TUTORIALS AND ADVISES BUT THERE ARE SO MANY THAT I DON'T KNOW WHICH ONE WILL BE THE BEST FOR ME.
MAYBE I NEED TO KNOW WHICH TYPE OF HAIR I HAVE 4a, 4b OR 4c  ETC ... REALLY REALLY NEVER UNDERSTOOD  ALL THIS LABELS. TO BE HONEST I NEVER CHECK WHAT WAS MY TYPE OF HAIR MAYBE THAT WAS A MISTAKE. DON'T REALLY KNOW WHAT TO THINK.

THE ONLY ADVANTAGE OF THE SHRINKAGE FOR ME IS THE FACT THAT I DO NOT NEED A WEAVE IF I WANT TO CHANGE MY HAIR STYLE. AS LONG AS I KNOW HOW TO PROPERLY STYLE MY HAIR  OR IF I JUST WANT TO LET "IT GO". LOL
THE WEATHER IN LONDON IS SO HOT THAT I CAN' USE MY CASTOR OIL BECAUSE MY HAIR BECOME HEAVY  AND DIRTY TOO QUICKLY. AND THERE IS NO ABSORPTION AT ALL BY MY SCALP.

 SO I CHANGE AND NOW I USE ONLY COCONUT OIL. IT IS MUCH LIGHTER AND MY SKIN ABSORBS IT QUICKLY . AND I ALSO USE IT FOR MY FACE INSTEAD OF SHEA BUTTER.

WITH THIS WEATHER WE HAVE EVERYDAY 30 Celsius AND THE HEAT IS VERY DIFFICULT TO HANDLE SO I  WILL MAKE SOME MICRO-BRAIDS TO PROTECT MY HAIR.

 I AM SO IMPATIENT TO  FINISH WORK AT SCHOOL AND GO ON HOLIDAY FOR 6 WEEKS. EVEN IF TI MEANS TO FIND A NEW HOUSE AND PACK UP. LOL

MINASEK, IT IS TIME TO MOVE ON .....

IT IS TIME FOR ME TO MOVE FROM MY HOUSE. YES MY LANDLORD HAS SOLD THE HOUSE  AND THE NEW OWNER WANT TO LIVE THERE. I AM QUITE SAD BECAUSE I JUST LOVE THE PLACE.
IT  IS JUST 45 MINUTES BY BUS FROM MY WORK, 5 MINUTES BY WALK  FROM MY CHURCH. SO YES I AM QUITE  IN SORT OF A  BAD MOOD.
 BUT SOMETIMES  YOU JUST NEED FRESH AIR, FRESH SPACE ESPECIALLY ME WHO LIKE TO BE IN A COMFORTABLE  PLACE BECAUSE TO BE HONEST I HAAAAATE MOVING FROM PACE TO PLACE.

EVEN IF I HAVE TOO, I JUST DON'T LIKE TO PACK UP ALL MY STUFF AND IN FIVE YEARS
I REALLY COLLECT A LOT OF CLOTHES, BOOKS, MAGAZINES AND SOME FURNITURE.
BUT THE MAIN THING NOW IS TO FIND ANOTHER PLACE AT A REASONABLE PRICE WITH A GOOD LANDLORD, MINE WAS JUST AWESOME. HE EVEN TRY TO CONVINCE THE NEW OWNER TO KEEP ME BECAUSE HE SAID TO ME THAT I WAS A FANTASTIC TENANT.
I WANT TO STAY IN THE SAME AREA SO IT IS GOING TO BE DIFFICULT BUT WITH GOD HELP EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE IN PLACE.
 FOR ME THIS LIKE THE END OF A CYCLE. I THINK THAT SOMETHING NEW IS GOING TO HAPPEN IN MY LIFE. I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT THIS IS JUST A FEELING.
