TODAY IT IS NOT ABOUT ME; HAPPY BIRTHDAY CELYA !

TODAY IS SO SPECIAL BECAUSE IT IS MY NIECE CELYA BIRTHDAY SHE HAS REACHED 19 AND NEXT YEAR SHE WILL DEFINITELY NOT BE A TEENAGE GIRL ANYMORE (SHE IS QUITE MAD AT THAT LOL). 

SHE LIVED WITH ME SINCE SHE WAS 3 AND I HELPED HER MUM , MY SISTER TO RAISE HER SO SHE CALLED ME SECOND AND SPIRITUAL MUM LOL.

SHE LIVES IN FRANCE NOW BUT SHE CAME TO STAY WITH US ONE WEEK IN LONDON.
SHE EVEN REDECORATE AND CLEANED OUR ALL HOUSE. LOL

I REMEMBERED WHEN I WAS 19 I WAS PREPARING MY BACCALAUREATE A HUGE EXAM THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE IF YOU WANT TO GO TO UNIVERSITY.

AND SHE IS IN THE SAME POSITION THAN ME AT THE SAME AGE BUT SHE IS MORE ADVENTUROUS THAN ME BECAUSE SHE WANTS TO STUDY IN BELGIUM.

I STAYED IN PARIS BUT I LIVED IN A STUDENT ACCOMMODATION/CAMPUS. I LEFT MY PARENTS HOME WITH ALL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS TO LIVE BY MYSELF.
IT WAS KING NEW AND STRANGE TO ME.

OK OK I SAID THAT IT WASN'T ABOUT ME TODAY .....LOL

BUT THE GOOD THING IS THAT SHE IS A VERY CONFIDENT YOUNG GIRL AND A BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN  SO I KNOW SHE WILL BE OK IN THE FUTURE.

SO I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK GOD TO BRING HER AT THIS AGE WITH YOU AND TO REVEAL HER THE TRUE MEANING OF HER LIFE.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY  RUTH CELYA JULIA

RIP PRINCE AND PAPA WEMBA

2 OF MY FAVOURITE ARTISTS DIED THIS WEEK PRINCE AND PAPA WEMBA FOR AFRICANS HE IS THE KING OF CONGOLESE RUMBA.

 CONGOLESE MUSIC HAD BEEN A HUGE IMPACT ON THE WHOLE AFRICAN CONTINENT. I DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN WHO PRINCE ( I HOPE )
FOR A LONG TIME A LOTS OF CAMEROONIAN ARTIST COPIED THE CONGOLESE SOUND.

HE DIED ON STAGE DOING WHAT HE LIKED THE MOST, PREFORMING IN FRONT OF PEOPLE.

FOR PRINCE I WAS KIND  SHOCKED TOO BECAUSE I REALLY DIDN'T EXPECT IT TO HAPPEN.

WE LOST SO MANY AMERICAN/ENGLISH  ARTIST FROM MY YOUTH/TEENAGE PERIOD (MICHEAL JACKSON , WHITNEY HOUSTON, DAVID BOWIE, ETC..)THAT I AM JUST REALIZED LIKE FRENCH PEOPLE SAID " C'EST LA FIN D' UNE EPOQUE"
WHICH MEANS THIS  IS THE END OF AN AREA. FOR ME IT SOUNDS BETTER IN FRENCH.

THE END WHERE TRUE ARTIST CAN PLAY INSTRUMENTS
THE END WHERE TRUE ARTIST CAN SING WITH A VERY NICE VOICE
THE END WHERE TRUE CAN CREATE MUSIC THAT TOUCH YOUR HEART
THE END WHEN TRUE ARTIST FOCUS ON THEIR MUSIC WITH NO NEED TO INSULT SOMEONE TO GET ATTENTION
THE END WHERE TRUE ARTIST CREATE LYRICS WITH A REAL MEANING
THE END WHERE TRUE ARTIST  CAN PERFORM ON STAGE AND PUT PASSION ON IT
THE END WHERE........ 
THE END WHERE .........

AND ON AND ON .......

JUST THE END OF AN AREA,  FOR ME FILLED WITH JOY, FANTASTIC MEMORIES WITH MY FRIENDS/CLASSMATES ( ARE YOU MORE A PRINCE OR MICHEAL FANS LOL)

YEAH! SOME PEOPLE WERE CREATING BEEF FOR NO REASON LIKE YOU CAN NOT LIKED THE 2 ARTISTS. IT ALWAYS MAKES ME LAUGH EVEN TODAY.

AN AREA WHEN AT HOME WE WERE LISTENING AND DANCING ON CONGOLESE MUSIC WITH MY PARENTS AND UNCLES (SOME OF THEM ARE DEAD NOW) BECAUSE IN FRANCE YOU WILL NEVER GET THE CHANCE TO SEE THEM ON TV.

OF COURSE BUT OUR PARENTS WERE STILL CONNECTED TO OUR CONTINENT BY THEIR MUSIC.

SO JUST TO BRING BACK ALL THESE MEMORIES AND PEOPLE I CHOOSE 2 SONGS FROM EACH ARTIST THAT I LIKE THE MOST.

IT IS ALMOST SNOWING IN LONDON (AND WE ARE AT THE END OF APRIL) BECAUSE IT IS SOOO COLD WE SUPPOSED TO BE IN SPRING BUT THE WEATHER JUST DON'T DO IT. UMMMM .......VERY STRANGE BUT IT IS FOR ANOTHER POST.

JUST ENJOY THESE TRUE ARTISTS.

GOD YOU HAVE MY FULL ATTENTION

IT 'S BEEN A LONG TIME THAT I MADE A POST AND IT IS NOT BECAUSE OF MY WORK WHICH IS STILL EXHAUSTING ( BUT SOOOO INTERESTING)

THE MAIN REASON IS  GOD HAD MY FULL ATTENTION THESE LAST WEEKS.

WHEN YOU HAVE TO FACE A REAL CHALLENGES IN YOUR LIFE IF YOU ARE NOT RELYING TO GOD BY FOCUSING ON HIM FIRST, YOU WILL LET YOURSELF GO. AND IT IS HAPPENING EVERYDAY, EVERY TIME AND TO EVERYBODY.
I READ 3 STORIES IN THE NEWS LATELY THAT I WILL SUM UP FOR YOU. BUT YOU CAN GOOGLE THEM TO HAVE MORE DETAILS.

FRANCE:
A YOUNG BOY AGE 5 WAS FOUND 20 KM FROM HIS HOME ON A COUNTRY ROAD RIDING HIS BIKE AND LOOKING SCARED. HE TOLD A MAN WHO FIND HIM THAT HIS DAD JUST FELL ON THE FLOOR UNCONSCIOUS HE WANTED TO FIND A  DOCTOR.
THE MAN CALLED THE AMBULANCE AND POLICE. THEY SUCCEED TO SAVE THE DAD WHO SEEMED TO HAVE A HEART ATTACK. THE DAD WENT BACK HOME BUT THE DAY AFTER TOOK MEDICATION AND KILLED HIMSELF. APPARENTLY WHEN HIS SON FOUND HIM HE WAS TRYING TO COMMIT SUICIDE.

INDIA:
A YOUNG MODEL AGED 28 HANGED HERSELF AND SHE LEFT A NOTE SAYING THAT HER HUSBAND ( THEY WERE MARRIED SINCE 1 YEAR) WAS PHYSICALLY AND PSYCHOLOGICALLY  ABUSING HER . SHE WAS REGRETTING HER DECISION TO MARRY HER HUSBAND AND THE ONLY ESCAPE WAS DEATH FOR HER.

ENGLAND:
A YOUNG WOMAN AGED 31,  COMMIT SUICIDE BECAUSE SHE WAS NOT MARRIED WHEN ALL HER FRIENDS WERE. SHE WAS ALWAYS INVITED AT "HEN PARTIES" AND ASKED TO BE A BRIDESMAID BUT WAS NEVER ASKED IN MARRIAGE. APPARENTLY SHE BECAME DEPRESSED AND TRY TO REVIVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH HER EX BOYFRIEND BUT IT  DID NOT  HAPPEN SO SHE KILLED HERSELF FEW DAYS LATER.

WHEN I THINK WHAT HAVE BEEN TROUGH BECAUSE DEPRESSION/ PERSONAL SUFFERING IS REAL I JUST LOOKED BACK AND REALIZED THAT I WAS NOT SO STRONG I JUST BELIEVED IN GOD AND JESUS.

THE REASON THAT I WAS ABLE TO BURY MY DAD WAS JUST BECAUSE I WAS PREPARED THROUGH MY FAITH IN GOD BY PRACTICE AND ACTION.

THE REASON THAT I HAVE SO MUCH RESULTS IN MY WORK IS BECAUSE I PRAYED EVERYDAY.

 THE REASON WHEN MY MUM WHO HAD A DIAGNOSTICS  OF CANCER AND FINALLY WAS CLEARED ( THEY MADE OTHERS TEST AND DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING) WAS BECAUSE I FASTED / PRAYED FOR 2 WEEKS.
GOD, JESUS AND THE HOLY SPIRIT ARE REAL AND WHEN IT COMES TO SURVIVAL IT IS ON THEM THAT I DEPEND ON.

I THINK ALL THE TIME THAT I HEAR AT WORK HOW THE JOB I HAVE DONE WITH MY LEARNER IS FANTASTIC/ THE PROGRESS ARE AMAZING ( THE PREDICTIONS WERE THAT THE LEARNER WILL ONLY ACHIEVE THESE STEPS IN 3 YEARS BUT WE DID IT IN 5 MONTHS !!!!) I KNOW THAT THROUGH MY COLLEAGUES 'S PRAISES I HEAR GOD TALKING TO ME ESPECIALLY WHEN THEY TOLD ME YOU KNOW "MINASEK YOU THINK THAT WE ARE NOT SEEING WHAT HARD WORK YOU' RE DOING  BUT WE DO"

SO I HOPE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND NOW WHY IT TAKES ME A LOT OF TIME TO MAKE A POST THESE DAYS  IS BECAUSE GOD HAS JUST MY FULL ATTENTION. AMEN.

I WANT TO  DEDICATE THIS WONDERFUL AND INSPIRATIONAL SONG/ VIDEO TO  ALL OF YOU AND PLEASE NEVER LET YOURSELF GO, JUST RELY ON GOD BECAUSE GOD LOVES YOU UNCONDITIONALLY AND WILL NEVER  DECEIVE YOU. AMEN

LIFE IS HARD, I AM TIRED BUT I STILL WANT TO LAUGHED.

I REALLY HAVE NOT MUCH TIME TO WRITE A POST AND I SWEAR IS NOT BECAUSE I HAVE NOTHING TO WRITE ABOUT.

BUT MY JOB TOOK ME SO MUCH TIME AND ENERGY. I HAD TO TAKE A WEEK OFF WHEN THE LEARNER WAS ON HOLIDAY.
 I DIDN'T PLAN TO IN THE FIRST PLACE BUT I RECEIVED A VERY BAD NEWS FROM MY COUNTRY SO I JUST STAY AT HOME PRAYING FOR 7 DAY.

THANKFULLY THINGS ARE BETTER NOW BUT IT WAS QUITE SCARY.
SO IF IT WASN'T THAT NEW I WILL CONTINUE TO WORK DURING THAT WEEK.

I DON'T KNOW IF I MENTIONED THAT I BROUGHT A CAR BUT NOW MY CAR HAS BEEN TAKEN BY THE COUNCIL AND I HAD TO PAY.
 IT IS SO EXPENSIVE (the fine exceed what i paid for) THAT I THINK TO LET THE COUNCIL KEEP IT.

BUT IT WAS ENTIRELY MY FAULT. ANYWAY I WILL INFORM THEM THAT I CANNOT PAY AND IF THEY WANT TO, THEY CAN KEEP MY CAR. I ONLY DRIVE IT ONCE. I STILL NOT PASS MY DRIVING TEST. I KNOW I KNOW .............. BUT THINGS CAME ON MY WAY THAT MAKE ALL MY PLANS CRUMBLED.

THE GOOD THINGS IS THAT I HAVE GOOD RESULTS AT WORK WITH MY LEARNER SO EVERYBODY IS HAPPY. MY LEARNERS HAD MADE SO MUCH AND QUICK PROGRESS THAT THEY DECIDED TO APPLY MY METHOD WITH ANOTHER LEARNER. SO NOT EVERYTHING IS NOT SO BAD. LOL

I STILL LAUGHED SO I JUST POST SOME VIDEOS THAT MAKES MY DAYS WHEN I WAS DOWN. HUMOR ESPECIALLY THE AFRICAN ONE IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE ANTIDOTE.
I HOPE YOU WILL ENJOY THEM AS I DO. LOL

"MA GALETTE DES ROIS" BECAUSE I AM A QUEEN

ALMOST ONE MONTH THAT I DID MY LAST POST THIS NEW JOB IS SO SO INTENSE THAT I REALLY DON'T HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME.
THE FACT THAT I HAVE TO ONLY FOCUS ON ONE LEARNER MUST HAVE MAKE THINGS MORE EASIER BUT I DID NOT SPECULATE WHAT WAS COMING.

 SO NOW I AM QUITE SURPRISED OF THE ENERGY THAT I HAVE TO SPEND ON ONE PERSON. DURING CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS I JUST REST SLEEP AND REST.
 AND I HAVE TIME TO THINK ABOUT WHEN I WAS LIVING IN FRANCE THERE WAS ONE TRADITION THAT I REALLY REALLY MISSED. IT IS CALLED " LA GALETTE DES ROIS " ( KING'S CAKE ).

FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE FRENCH OR LIVE THERE THEY KNOW WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT.

AFTER CHRISTMAS IN FRANCE THERE IS A TRADITION WHERE WE CELEBRATE THE FACT THAT WHEN JESUS WAS BORN 3 KINGS  CAME TO OFFER HIM SOME PRESENTS. OK YOU KNOW THE STORY.

SO IN FRANCE THEY ARE MAKING A CAKE THAT THEY CALLED "GALETTE" IT IS MADE OF PUFF PASTRY AND ALMOND CREAM PLUS A LITTLE FIGURINE THAT YOU DO NOT EAT.
SO WHEN YOU ARE INVITING  YOUR FAMILY  AND EAT IT THE ONE WHO GETS THE FIGURINE  ( WHICH REPRESENT A BABY JESUS OR THE VIRGIN MARY) BECAME A KING OR QUEEN  AND THAT PERSON CAN WEAR A CROWN SOLD WITH THE CAKE.

WE DRINK IT WITH APPLE JUICE/CIDER  OR CHAMPAGNE. IT IS VERY POPULAR IN FRANCE AND I REMEMBER THAT AS A CHILD IN SCHOOL WE WERE ALL WISHING TO GET "LA FEVE" AND GET THE CROWN THAT YOU WILL WEAR ALL DAY LONG.

THIS YEAR I HAD  A HUGE NEED TO EAT AGAIN MY GALETTE SO MY BROTHER SENT ME TWO. AND YES I GOT "LA  FEVE AGAIN. AND I  BECAME A QUEEN AGAIN LIKE I USED TO BE ANY WAY. LOL

BYE BYE 2015 ...... HELLO 2016

JUST A QUICK POST TO MARK THE END OF 2015 IT WASN'T A BAD ONE FOR ME BECAUSE I GOT A NEW JOB AND A CAR .LOL

PLUS MY GP SAID THAT I AM IN GOOD HEALTH SO NOTHING TO COMPLAIN APART FOR MY NEW ROUTINE AND THE TIME SPEND IN PUBLIC TRANSPORT.
 I WILL CHANGE THAT WHEN I WILL MOVE CLOSER TO MY NEW JOB.

I WISH YOU ALL  A HAPPY NEW YEAR FILLED WITH PROSPERITY, HEALTH AND LOTS LOTS OF LOVE ALL AROUND YOU.

AND BY THE WAY FOR THOSE WHO CELEBRATED CHRISTMAS I HOPE IT WAS A VERY GOOD TIME FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILIES.

I  THANK ALL OF YOU TO VISIT ME REGULARLY  BECAUSE IT IS A BLESSING AND I AM AWARE OF IT.

MAY GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU !

SO SO TIRED BUT I AM STILL THERE.....LOL

I just trimmed/cut  my hair again !

YES I AM ALIVE !  LOL BUT WITH MY NEW JOB I AM SO BUSY AND REALLY TIRED. 

PLUS I DO NOT HAVE THE SAME AMOUNT OF SCHOOL HOLIDAYS THAT I USED TO HAVE.

 

A MISTAKE THAT I MADE WHEN I THOUGH THAT BECAUSE IT WAS A COLLEGE I WILL HAVE ALL THE SORT BREAKS. NAH ! LOL. 

SO MY BODY HAS TO ADAPT TO THIS NEW ROUTINE.

IN MY FORMER JOB I WAS WORKING WITH SEVERAL STUDENTS BUT NOW I AM ONLY FOCUS ON ONE STUDENT BUT BELIEVE ME IT IS TAKING ALL MY ENERGY.

 

IT'S  QUITE DIFFERENT OF WHAT I USED TO DO EVEN IF WHAT I DID BEFORE HELP ME TO DEAL WITH THE DAY TO DAY CHALLENGES.

 

I ALSO DON'T HAVE TO WORRY NO MORE IN TERM OF CLOTHES BECAUSE I HAVE TO WEAR CASUAL ALL THE TIME BECAUSE I AM MOSTLY OUTSIDE TRAVELLING WITH PUBLIC TRANSPORTS (LONDON BUSES AND TRAINS).

BEFORE I ONLY SPENT 20 MIN ( NOW IT IS 90 MIN !) TO GO TO WORK WITH ONE BUS NOW I AM TAKING THE TUBE PLUS 2 BUSES. SO AT THE END OF MY JOURNEY I AM REALLY TIRED.

AND I AM NOT FORGETTING THAT I USED TO FINISH AT 3 PM NOW IT IS 5 PM SOMETIMES I AM DOING OVERTIME JUST TO TAKING CARE OF ONE STUDENT.

FOR SOME OF YOU WHO CAN YOURSELF ASK IF I WAS STILL INTEREST IN BLOGGING, I AM, IT IS JUST THAT I HAD TO ADAPT TO THIS NEW JOB ROUTINE.

 

BUT THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS ARE COMING SO I HOPE TO  HAVE MORE ENERGY TO POST A LITTLE MORE. THANK YOU  FOR  YOUR UNDERSTANDING.
