Why don't you love me hater?
I was watching a video of karrine steffans giving a lecture to a university and despite being a controversial figure (writing about her various escapades with celebrities in a book)I think what she said was completely true. I believe that the truth is the truth and whatever vessel it comes out of should not matter.Why can't people love everybody until they do something personal to you? People who hate on other people have problems with themselves because if you were happy with your life, you wouldn't feel the need to have so much hatred towards another person, especially someone you don't know.(I'm not talking about if someones committed an atrocious act, just talking about general hate). So next time you hate on someone think again where the place is coming from, is it because you don't feel that a person deserves the things that they have in their life? Well its not your place to judge.

I'm conceited I got a reason
I truly believe that people who are conceited, are some of the most insecure people in the world. Think about it, the constant need to say how good you are shows your desire to prove yourself so that people know you are worthy. The most confident people, I believe are modest and can feel good without brandishing their worth in peoples faces. They could have achieved the most but do not feel the need to tell people this. I admire them so much and will strive to be like this. Modesty is the epitome of confidence.

Boss girlies - Yaya dacosta
Yaya,is age 27 and is Nigerian, Brazilian,Native American and Irish. She was a runner up on America's Next Top Model and has starred in Take the lead, Honey Dripper and the Messenger.She is a perfect example of a well educated female majoring in African studies and International relations at Brown university.Hmmm So it pays to be an intellectual bad ass :P. I love how she rocks those natural hairstyles.
Boss girlies - Miss Dade county
Is a rapper that has been in music videos such as Chris brown Kiss Kiss. I like her song with Bobby Valentino,that girl she also features on a track with Megan rochelle. She seems to be going in a different direction to the over sexualised lyrics of most female rappers. We'll just have to watch what she does next.
Making It
It can be so frustrating when you look back on your life and feel that If you knew what you wanted to do back then you could have changed your destiny.But maybe the destiny that you have now is for a reason, even if you feel like you're currently in a bad position. As life unravels you may find that the place of limbo that you are in now aided you to achieve in some way.If you feel that it could not possibly help then make it!!! Draw from your pain and frustrations and manifest this into something that you can be proud of. I know that this is a cliche statement and is hard to imagine, but I feel that this attitude coupled with hardwork and a plan for what you want to do is key. True, this is hard to do when you are at a crossroads, but think about what you are good at, what you would like to improve, and as time goes on try and do those things.
This can be hard when you are lazy or are so demotivated that you feel like you just cannot carry on. But just keep that hope alive even if it is the smallest of lights at the end of the tunnel. One thing I admittedly sometimes deal with is jealousy, the feeling that other peoples lives are perfect and why my life cannot be that way. However you need to know everyone has their own struggle and the people in enviable positions have had to face a huge amount of rejection;and it is their perserverance that have allowed them to succeed. Do not blame yourself for what you could have been but focus on what you could be now.Someone told me to picture your life as a scientist; you tried this way, it didn't work so try another way. Change variables in your life to make it work for you.And also have someone to look up to and see how they lived their life.
This is my blueprint to making it and by Gods grace, I'll one day have a story to tell and you will too. :)
Rice, peas and love :P xxxx

Sleep
I really do recommend sleep and taking naps, sometimes its the best antidote when you are stressed or in a bad mood, its good for you're skin too! When you awake you usually find that your worries are not as big as you made out, and it puts you in a different frame of mind ready to face the rest of the day or night. So every now and again use life's natural elixir.:)

Starved Birmingham girl's mother guilty of manslaughter
A mother in Birmingham withdrew her child from school,deliberately kept food from her and five other children until 5 year old Khyra Ishaq, her daughter died of severe mal-nutrition.Two other children were also seriously starved. The mother was cleared of murder but due to her psychological problems has a new plea of man-slaughter. All I have to say is where were the social workers if she had mental health issues? It is amazing what you can get away with when you have psychological problems. Although leniency is needed at times, it is a dangerous loop hole in our justice system. Well at least she'll serve something smh.

Boss girlies - Jourdan Dunn
Hope for Darfur?
Africa's my motherland so you know I have to write about what's going on over there.
President Omar al-Bashir of Sudan declared that the war was over and released 57 prisoners from a renowned Darfur rebel group called Jem. This is preceding a cease fire which happened between the Sudanese president and the Jem leaders. Hopefully this will be the beginning of peace in this war torn country. I feel the only way the country can move forward and progress, is if the people come together instead of tearing their country apart and draining its resources over what I believe to be a minor issue of heritage(the war began as black Africans felt oppressed in comparison to Arabs). It is amazing how many wars start because of the external attributes of people. The oppression needs to stop.
NHS SCANDAL
Mid Staffordshire NHS Trust have left people to suffer for the sake of cutting costs. It is disconcerting to see that whilst a hospital was given elite status as a foundation trust, people were dieing unnecessarily due to the hospitals maltreatment of its patients. How could a hospital get away with this for so long, I don't understand?
It further shows how money driven this country is that the lives of people go unnoticed. This is the type of thing that I would expect to hear from a developing country that is struggling with resources, not a rich country in the west.I believe that instead of spending ridiculous amounts of money to go to war, in another country. We should focus on making sure the fundamentals are correct, the idea that going to a hospital can kill you is unfathomable and it is sad that it has gotten to this point. tsk tsk tsk x

Boss girlies- Simmons sisters
I'm loving the Simmon's girls at the moment. The way they argue remind me so much of me and my sister ;). They are such good role models, and are females you can look up to in the industry that are not constantly flaunting sex in your face. They're wacky, fun, smart and pretty whilst providing an alternative image to females in the entertainment industry. Also well done to Angela on voicing her opinion of not having sex before marriage, it is good to see a celebrity talk about this(another one is Teyana Taylor) and to let people know you can choose this lifestyle option and still be fun and fabulous. A relationship does not have to be synonymous with sex. Muchus props to the Simmons sisters xxx

Womens magazines
Womens magazines tend to get on my nerves, especially when they have columns about what women have to do to get a man. I feel that all it does is create an unnecessary inferiority complex in women. There is no set way to get a man, and if you get a man by following a blueprint it is sure to fail, as it is nothing more than a pretence which cannot be sustained forever. I think the best thing is to be yourself, be sure in your mind of both what you want and don't want and then stick by it.If you have to compromise your values maybe the man is not for you.
I think the notion of just being yourself is something extremely lacking in womens magazines. Instead pressure is constantly put on the female; how to think, how to dress and this seems to all be for men. Whilst it is a good thing to have a man in your life it is not necessarily the be all and end all. Having your own goals,knowing yourself and learning to be happy on your own is just as important. Love being you and do you the best that you can because you're the only one that can do it :P.
Peace :P xxxx
