Fiery Redux
Last year I wrote about the kaiso “Fiery” orginially by Mastreo, remade by Bunji. Well my friend RemBunction posted this Mash-up on YouTube, oh Lord I love it.
So for your musical enjoyment.
PS: This is my motto for 2010, “Fiery, that is how I coming…”
Happy Christmas!
I’m spending my first Christmas in foreign. I don’t have anything special planned, just lunch with a friend, but I am grateful for all of my blessings. As I type this I’m playing the Daisy Voisin video I embedded in my first Christmas post on my blog.
Since her voice is never boring, it’s only fair for me to find another for you.
Not much of a video, but the song…
Here in the UK, they say Happy Christmas.
Do You Hear What I Hear
This one of my favourite Christmas songs. O Holy Night is my all time favourite, but Whitney Houston’s version of this song has rocketed to 2nd place in my heart. If I listen to it intently I will cry.
So in the spirit of the season, I found this video of her performing it on Jay Leno. Enjoy.
Merry Christmas
Save Your Skin
Someone needs to warn West Indian women about winter weather. It plays havoc on your skin. One day you have soft skin, but a few hours here could have you looking like a brown lizard. I was buying cream after cream, trying to save my skin. Nivea was too thick (my mother insists on the one in the tin), Cuticura was too weak, and Vaseline didn’t last long enough.
My friend recommended Astral Cream or baby oil (for the stripper look). I, however, think I playing too much for a degree to adopt Stripper-wear, went for the former, thank goodness. I can’t vouch for it when the weather gets warmer. I’ve heared that January/ February are brutally cold, but I think that I’m prepared.
Flying High
I in MIA for a bit visiting my mother before I fly off AGAIN for school in LON. I hate flying, but I know my fear isn’t rational. Plus I love traveling, so I fight through it.
I had my camera with me in flight so I decided to take some pics to share with you.
My fear isn’t paralysing, thank God, but it makes the process all the more stressful. Hope you like the pics.
Breakfast of Champions
I made Sada this morning. I’ve been craving it whole week and today I caved. I also bought batteries for my camera so I decided to take photos of the process. For the first time I used the full recipe from the Naparima Cookbook, and it came out great.
Making sada is easy, the process is just a little messy and time consuming. But the results are so worth it. And it’s quite a filling and healthy breakfast, I don’t use any fat when cooking the roti. I use oil to cook both the tomato and bhaigan chokas, but not much.
I learned the sakaying process from the Chennette, she was commenting on TriniGourmet’s blog post on sada. It’s soo easy it’s ridiculous.
If you try it let me know how it turns out.
Bright Coloured Folder Paper
My crazy, darling Mommy bought 4 packs, and sent them with my Uncle. And now, they’re in my possession.
Walgreens has them dirt cheap, so take a little trip for a low-cost purchase that could help spruce up the course work or journaling.
Yippee!
Bright Coloured Paper
Stationary update!
I may be getting the bright coloured filler paper after all. Apparently Wausau Paper company’s Exact Brights Filler Paper is available at Walgreens. And the one near my mother has it in stock, sooo I’ve placed an order and hope to be the proud owner of ridiculously coloured folder paper in the near future.
Cause white paper is soo passé.
Ordered It!
I just placed my order for the dark gel pen paper from Miller Pens and Paper. I’ll let you know how the process goes, and what the product is really like when I get it. Next on the list the bright coloured filler paper from the Wausau Paper Company.
Happy writing peeps.
Dark Paper
I have a weakness for school supplies. I have explored my pen addiction before, it has filtered to include general office/ school supplies. Partially cause studying is so boring, I need something to distract me from the lame bits, and help keep me focused. Hence my thing for dark paper. It’s so much cooler than white. It’s kind of rebellious in a way (OK, not really but you get my point).
