So guys summer is almost over (sad face) , and Schools coming, Concordia will be here next week, and Christmas will be in 3 weeks...okay not really....but anywho the time is ticking..and FAST at that...
Carnvial just ended (yes i am still on it...b/c a had the time of my life and I'm actually soo serious) and there are sooo many things i'd like to do before this year is over..
there is no specific order of how i want to do things either
1. Study for my LSAT and write in DEC
2. Go to the Bahamas !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (which is happening...pretty sure)
3. FIND A JOB during school
4. Go to Miami and play in their carnival (Oct 8th-11th)
5. Go to NY for labour day and play in their carnival..and SHOP til I can't no where!
6. Go back to toronto and attend a SOCA SWEET fete.
7. Go to NY for new years

9. Go out as much as possible before school starts cuz after that.....its me and my sexy books ;-)
10. Get all the birthday gifts i owe to my gyal done...(before the end of sept...at the latest)
11. Then theres CHRISTMAS...which involves a whole lot of spending and doing... but in general i'd like to have money for that occasion .and get allll my gifts (and not have I owe you's like last christmas)
Sooooo I know theres a lot that involves MONEY ....hence number 3 is a JOB lol. I know I wont be able to do some of the things...due to the cash in my pocket book however.....ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE..and its always nicccccccccccce dreaming
I do have more....but I can not think at the moment.
Ps if you can help financially in any way that would be soooo AWESOME :-P
THANKS

Only came in second...? :S

So I played with Carnival Nationz again this year for caribana..
Our theme this year paid respect to the Mighty Sparrow aka known as the King of Calypso!!!!!!!
There was various sections names after his favorite songs such as D'Lizard, Congo Man,Jean and Dinah, Sa sa yeah,drunk and disorderly, Saltfish and etc..along with the sold out section D'birdie which is his nickname.
I think this years theme was like no other... and each section portrayed the theme greattt!!!!!!!!!!!!However this year we came only in second place and Saldenah band coming in first with them theme of Portraits ..their theme ws quite creative and I will give them there props, but they did not deserve to beat us by 20 whole pts.... I still think you must give credit where credit is due,..and i feel that CARNIVAL NATIONZ should have been BAND of di year...for 2k10...we were very creative, consistant and although we shouldn't of been the 6th band to jump down di road (b/c we won last year)...we worked it...HARD. But the judges thought different and I can't change that...but next year...we coming....and in FULL force!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ps. Toronto Revellers theme suckkkkked wid their theme of disco fever...which looked like road kill... and they came in third..only 4 pts above us...how is that possible...? I stillllll think Jamaal Magloire paid the judges for third place...:-P
Thats it for now
One Love

Then we went down town (yonge st) and did some last minute shopping for the fetes we were going to!....we thought we were going home...however REGGIE and DOGGYDog or however you say it ...wanted to drink with us...and made us late for meeting Deej to go to GLOW.

Soooooooo we went to GLOW (keep in mind we arrived at the club quite late) and as soon as we was in di place guys was on us like water in a glass...HARD. what can I say we was the life of the party...REAL TALK. btw JW & Blaze were doing their ting on stage...wid PALANCE...and everybody inna di club was palancing...sooooo we were dancing with guys for like a couple songs...mind you we tryna get away tho...cuz aint no one dancin with the same nig the whole damn night....we tryna explore...dannnnng....

HE WAS AMAZING. soooon after he did his thing. we was out! and onto the next party that night....

we arrived at SHINE around 330/4am and it was still poppin' off...the highlight of Shine was Shurwayne Winchester doing his ting...howeverrrrr he mussi played DEAD or ALIVE 16 times. nevertheless he PERFORMED!!!..then they served us BREAKFAST...it was west indian breakfast..which was quite different and damn good! we got bac to the telly around 6...i got in the shower, hit the sheets by 7 up by 9.

Carnival day!!!!
so we got our costumes ready making any adjustments that needed to be done and then deej did all of our make up..
since i was the first person ready I got my make-up done first

we got the parade around 11. During that time we walked around and we ate our jerk chicken and rice and peas..
We finally got in our sections !!! My section was D'Lizard hence the green costume! And waited to cross the stage..we all crossed to PALANCE :-P



After we crossed we waited for Jean and Dinah to cross ...the section Rajean, Nicole and Sheri was in.
Once they were done we wait on di run to jump up!!!
I stayed close by SOCA SWEETNESS'S truck (best soca dj right now) and whined to his vibes!!!


We were whining up our waistlines the rest of the day until around 7pm.
of course before we left we bumped into a few ppl we knew from back here and from the dot also.
SOCAVIVOR feat Machel Mantono and the HD family at the wild water kingdom was poppin' harrrrrd! wish i could had got on bad....but my feet were on a different level. so i couldnt mishave like I wanted to!!! nevertheless MACHEL and Patrice were on POINT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sunday
we woke up around 2 becuase we got home around 6am...we chilled.I had to stay off my feet to save them for FIRE FETE.
I noe understand why they call it fire fete...because it was BLAZIN' HAWT people were palancing and just whining wid noooo behaviour allllll night long!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! me and my gyal certainly did our ting...REAL TALK, :-P ...I went off by myself a few times to for a new scene...and I happened to run into an TALL old friend who use to play for CB b-ball team...also raan into ya girl Wande....seemed like she had fun. got to see lots of performances such as Buffy, Denise Belfon, JW&Blaze, Shal, Patch,Ravi B, and much more I can't remember right now..
