22 Days Of Christmas

Yesterday or two days ago - I don't remember VERA rained on my Christmas parade.... She said Santa = Satan.. the letters are just mixed up and a whole bunch of foolishness that would break a childs heart BUT It's all about being in a good spirit and that's what Christmas does to me so I dedicate this next Christmas song video to my lovely Verb <3




Alvin & The Chipmunks - All I Want.

Wishlist.--EDIT!

So I know I had just previously stated that I want only a Yorkdale gift certificate, however I had to make one exception. I've always wanted a Chanel 2.55 bag. I am in LOVE with them and they are just so classic! Since I nor anyone I know has pockets deep enough for one at the moment, a girl can only dream.

Kids Say The Darnest Things.....

Who Told You?

Who told you I liked you
That's a complete lie
They twisted my words
I feel so embarrassed
I wish I could die

Who told you I could fall in love with you

I think we weren't to be
so that's definatly not true
there will never be no me or you.

December Madness

And the countdown begins, we are now 23 days away from Christmas & 30 days away Til "Twenty-Ten." Thank God no white stuff has been invading the ground. Winters looking pretty good for now. As Koko said many events will be going down to start off the holiday season. One I think many should attend is "Naughty or Nice" presented to you by the handsome Sky High Gentlemen. Got to show my love and support to them for doing their thing, as well as some of the birthday people, Jeffrite, Chris and my Crazy-Beautiful Auntie Tamara or "Timaya". If you're into the Ghanaian scene go drop by "Candy Shop," hosted by Sam Tuga, celebrating the birthday of Lady X. I know, I know I sound like a promoter. Wherever you do plan to go people, keep it classy and not trashy. The holidays always calls for more than your "Sunday's Best." Pull out you're "Bronya" Clothes (lol- Only Ghanaian people will understand that) and please be Safe and HAVE FUN! I'll be back with more December madness.

Christmas Babble: Cocoa Edition.

Sooo November has left us oh so quickly just like I knew it would. Christmas will be here in no time and for the YFF fam, Christmas means lots of events and planning. This year, we have decided to pull a Kris Kringle so everyone can get a gift and not be broke after. In all honestly we're gonna be broke anyway cause of all the events coming up. Why you ask? Parties equal clothes, clothes, and more CLOTHES. There are parties happening on the 4th,18th, 24th, 25th, 26th, 31st, another date I can't remember and on New Years Day; that's 8 different outfits! I don't know if I'll be attending every single one but I know I will be at most -sigh-. I'm more excited about the FOOOOOD.

We're supposed to be having a Christmas Dinner at Fash's house since she'll be solo. I can't waiiiit. This girl said everyone should bring a date...HA! I don't know what's more funny, the idea of bringing a date or the fact that she thought we would actually comply.

Oh and Maybellineee I wanted a vintage camera toooo. The photos just have so much more flavor to them lol. Since you made a list I guess I should go 'head and make mine too:

1. Gift Certificate to Yorkdale Mall


Well that's all folks. I'm a pretty simple gal.

I feel like a child again, for whatever reason I'm extremely excited about Christmas this year & because I am every day til the 25th I'll be posting a song in honor of the season, hopefully the other bats Cocoa & Blue will see this and help me when I slack. So I guess now that it's the 1st I should be getting outfits, gift lists, presents, cards - I promise you procrastination will be the death of me SIGH*. I'm too lazy to get those things started but I have a list for all those happy givers =)

1. Digital Camera
2. Sewing Machine
3. Vintage Polaroid Camera ( I'm kinda getting into the whole photography thing)
4. King Of Leon Cd's

Don't hesitate to run to the nearest mall to grab any of these things - I will love you forever =)
Til next time -

John Mayer - Slow Dancing In A Burning Room

It's not a silly little moment,
It's not the storm before the calm.
This is the deep and dying breath of
This love that we've been working on.

Can't seem to hold you like I want to
So I can feel you in my arms.
Nobody's gonna come and save you,
We pulled too many false alarms.

We're going down,
And you can see it too.
We're going down,
And you know that we're doomed.
My dear,
We're slow dancing in a burning room.

I was the one you always dreamed of,
You were the one I tried to draw.
How dare you say it's nothing to me?
Baby, you're the only light I ever saw.

I'll make the most of all the sadness,
You'll be a bitch because you can.
You try to hit me just to hurt me
So you leave me feeling dirty
Because you can't understand.

We're going down,
And you can see it too.
We're going down,
And you know that we're doomed.
My dear,
We're slow dancing in a burning room.

Go cry about it - why don't you?
Go cry about it - why don't you?
Go cry about it - why don't you?

My dear, we're slow dancing in a burning room,
Burning room,
Burning room,
Burning room,
Burning room.

Don't you think we oughta know by now?
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don't you think we oughta know by now?
Don't you think we shoulda learned somehow?
Don't you think we oughta know by now?

I'm JUST SAYING!

I know EVERY girl has had some sort of relationship problem with almost any guy they have been involved it. That's the norm. Relationships don't seem to be relationships without them. But when EVERY guy you talk to, deal with, whatever the case may be, is dogging you the same way the last ten guys you spoke to did, don't you think that maybe it's you. After a month you're back in the same predicament? I don't know. Like, we all complain about guys but if you're constantly complaining maybe you need a change or you need to MAKE one. You're probably attracting the wrong guys with your actions, words or attitudes. This isn't meant to be advice for any of our readers. Its one of those "I'm just Saying" blog post. I hate seeing people flood my FB news feed with the same man problems. Yes I know its your Facebook status if I don't like it I shouldn't read it but it comes up on my thousand dollar & some change Toshiba Special Edition screen and my Storms screen as well, EQUALING to $1,700! UGH!

Korean Grill: Just Throw it in the Paaaan.

On a wild night on Queen Street our hungry bellies led us to try out the oh so popular Korean Grill. This unique Asian restaurant lets you cook your own meals. Each table comes with a little pan/barrel thing lol and you just toss your meat in there. We chose the buffet option which gives you some unlimited rice, veggies and your choice of unlimited meat to fry. They actually had beef ribs there too! Mmm soo GOOD. Oh yea and all the meat is marinated already. All this for only $12.95 ha!

Blue and I; all smiles.

Josieeeeeeeeee. =)

Maybelline with the colgateeee.

Hungry bellies.

Very excited about the menu here. There was some serious
animals on there LOL.

Nice and clean; ready to be fucked up. This is where you grill
your meat and such. =)

Winter Hair Care Tips.

We all make adjustments for Winter and our hair shouldn't be left out, so here are my winter hair care tips. =)


1. Colder and dryer weather, means dryer skin AND hair. Keeping your hair moisturized in the winter will prevent unnecessary breakage. Do this by increasing your deep conditioning and moisturizing. Remember to SEAL your strands when you moisturize ( applying a thin layer of oil over your hair after moisturizing).

2. Try more protective styling. This means weaves, braids, twists, buns,etc. Anything to keep your ends tucked away and off your shoulders. Winter means more wool coats and sweaters which can snag your ends and dry them out so protect!

3. If you choose to wear your hair out for the winter, try wearing more up dos to keep your ends protected. Keep your hair heavily moisturized and pay special attention to your ends (they're the oldest parts of your strands).

4. You should be doing this regardless of the season, but remember to wrap your hair at night with a SILK or SATIN scarf. These fabrics do not absorb the moisture out of your hair as much as your cotton pillowcases will. If you're too lazy or your scarves keep falling off, buy silk pillowcases instead!


For me winter is the time where I pay the most attention to my hair so that by spring time it flourishes! Good luck folks.

- Borderline -

Can you meet me halfway?
Right at the borderline?
That's where I'm gonna wait for you
I'll be looking out night & day.
Took my heart to the LIMIT
And this is where I stay...

I can't go any further than this.
I want you so bad, its my only wish.

FYL ( Fuck Your Lives) I hate you all.

Honestly on some real shit - when men, boys or whatever you call yourselves these days.. if you're walking around with penis than this applies.. WHEN YOU ARE DOING WHATEVER...cheating on your girl, lying to your girl, saying hurtful shit to your girl.. the girl you claim you "love" are you thinking about the feelings that are involved in this thing you guys called a relationship, are you thinking that this is someones LIFE & just like YOU they are a person and have feelings.. Do you ever think about how you would feel if your girl was to pull such stunts.. You fucking BOYS always want a ride or die but if you were ever to endure the same shit you put your girl through you wouldn't be able to handle.. if you were to walk in your girlfriends fucking HEELS for a day - you wouldn't know how to handle it.. STOP DOING FUCKED UP SHIT...point blank period... I'm not even going to try to sound educated in the post cause most of you fucking fucks don't even deserve for me to be talking to you on a educational level... let me make this as simple as possible.. IF YOU KNOW YOU WOULDN'T LIKE IT IF YOUR LOVED ONE DID IT TO YOU..DONT.FUCKING.DO.IT - if you know you wanna fuck around.. let the person know and if they choose to stay and deal with it that's their own fault.. you fucking LOOSE CANNONS are going around dropping your fucking seeds in any fucking peice of fucking dirt having kids and than regreting what happend, trying to rekindle that old love... GET YOUR ACT TOGETHER.. ALMOST DOESNT COUNT...KARMA IS A BITCH AND YOU WILL ALWAYS FIND OUT THE HARD WAY..( you fools have me caplockin and shit).. always talking about how "oh it was a mistake" ONCE is a mistake TWICE you liked THREE FOUR FIVE TIMES.. YOUR FUCKING DUMB but you know whattttttttttttt I dont even blame you fucking boys.. sometimes LADIES are taking some unnesscary shit like I ALWAYS say "If he gives you shit & you keep taking shit.. you will keep on getting shit - DONT EXPECT NO DIFFERENT" ladies need to wise up and know that you are worth so much more - In all honesty I dont know what im talking about.. all I know is I want to sleep & I need to rant and rave about this.. And for the mixup ducks.. don't think this applies to ME or any of my fellow bloggers. I JUST HAD TO RANT & RAVE.. well bonne nuit.. ( I guess) I have more shit to bitch and complain about tomorrow.

P.S I hate the opposite sex.

New Blog Layout in the Works =)


Being sick for the past two days with no laptop has resulted in my entertaining myself the old fashion way.. Television.
I stayed up watching Top Gun for the first time in my life, Scream 3 (I know random selection) & The Infamous Lost Boys. The whole time I thought Lost Boys was just about a gang of teenagers, just by judging of the cover of the book in high school, to come to find out it was about a gang of Teenage Vampires. Are Catholic School allowed to incorporate such material in the curriculum? Hmm.. Anyways, I didn't get to watch the whole movie because my mother took over and changed the channel but I must say the theme song of for the movie is quite addictive.

As Hard As You Want To .. As Soft As You Want To..

Awwww.. Sh#@t!
My Homeboy Robin Thicke has done it again.

Just let me love you
I'll lay right here
I'll be your fantasy ..

Where The Wild Things Are.

I'm sure anyone who has ever been to kindergarten knows about this movie coming out. I remember falling in love with it then. For those who aren't familiar, this book is basically about a young boy named Max, who loves to play in his wolf costume. He gets into some mischief and is sent to his room with no dinner. While in his room he creates an imaginary world and travels by a sailboat to the land of the "Wild Things". He becomes the king because he's able to stare in the creatures' eyes without blinking. He eventually returns home cause he gets homesick. When he comes back to his room, his dinner is brought up to him.

The book is actually really short but the movie is basically riding off of it. Apparently the author was originally planning on making these "wild things" horses but he couldn't draw horses so he drew "things" instead lol. The creatures are apparently based off his aunts and uncles [exaggerated and distorted I'm sure].

I believe the book is basically showing how children use fantasy to express their emotions and handle them. It's getting rave reviews like I knew it would. I just loveeeeeeee this book and I must see it. It's out October 16th.

Here's the trailer:

While people live and breathe "FASHION," the YFF Elite and I live and breathe food. If I do not have my day is absolutely DESTROYED! Take today for example, I was looking forward to a trip to Tuckers and a certain individual flopped without warning leaving me high and die to eat Cheerios with NO MILK! FML! Thank God I hade a twin that is up "Til Day Breaks" and had some milk to share. God Bless you Ashley!

You're My Addiction.

-drools-

Just the tip of the footwear iceberg that I want to add to my closet. Don't you just loveeee it? You might not but I do.
It's becoming quite concerning; the feeling I get from buying clothes and such. This Friday equals pay day, which equals play time. -sigh-

Bittersweet - BLACKsummernights09

It's the most wonderful time of the yearrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - As the staples commercial would say.
Summer is ending.. Back to school..Back to that shitbox ( I will move on up Sept 2010..I Promise!).
I honestly don't know how summer would be if Elizabeth did not drive - We were everywhere BUT Toronto.. I know my mother missed me... Although this summer we had our common haters.. (We wouldnt be YFF if we didnt) I still enjoyed this summer.. Spent it with my lovely ladies, met new friends, endured that heartbreak,but moved on up and now in chicago and will be back for my sister Cocoa's birthday. Towards the beginning of the summer I was thinking of everything that was wrong and to sum it all up thought 2009 was a shit year - but my God's grace.. I have wonderful friends....wonderful family and wonderful health.. Summer 2009 was prettty darn good...Alot of lessons have been learned and I have recieved so much insight - And now to start planning for the school year.. I have alot resoultions that I will keep on the hush.. by Summer 10'.. I'm hoping I will be able to talk about all the successful things I've done by God's grace.. AND I NEVER GOT INTO A FIGHT THIS WHOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE SUMMER.. I deserve a gift or medalion or something.. ah lie?but yezzir.. since the summer is done we will be updating more.. I think..Aunty shelly is harrassing my life... I WANNA GO HOME NOW!...I'll holler*

BLACKSummer'sNight of the WALK-BOUTS!

Since I'm at home.. Well Koko's house (Home #2) .. FOR ONCE & Not Out (When I REALLY think I should be -sigh- Firerama *throws fists*) I thought I would touch the blog since it's looking a bit dusty. I've been so preoccupied this summer I totally forgot we had a blog. I guess we created this blog to escape our boredom. Then Summer came and we just got all wrapped up in other things. As Summer slowly winds down, I must say I had a pretty good summer. Minus this bullshit weather Mother Nature is throwing at Toronto (we had a Tornado yesterday - ERKS!). I really thought my summer was going to be REALLY CRAPPY but God Blessed Me with something better. Well at least I think I deserved it. The months prior to my OFFICIAL Summer Vacay weren't looking too great anyways. All the happy times made me forget about it. Not like I was purposely trying to - It just happened. I still need to go to The Ex (which opened today) Wonderland & The Drive-In Movies. I need to utilize my last two weeks in TORONTO! Then get ready for that school ish. Bye Bye GBC .. Bonjour Seneca. And Everyone that made my summer so EXCELLENTTTTT.. I lubber you guys.. (Guys = YFF & Entourage.. Lil Miss Heavy Foot & Akua Dandelion..sometimes & Charlie)

BUT YEAH NEXT WEEK KOKO IS CELEBRATING HER BIRTHDAY @ LOVE, SEX & MAGIC .. BE THERE OR BE CIRCLE!

Caribana '09! --That Liquid Gold Will Getcha.

What a weekend! I don't know how some folks party every weekend cause this weekend was enough to last me a while. People came down from everywhere just for the night life and of course the ladies. I must say YFF was looking wellll SWEET all weekend long.

We started it out with Blame It On the Alcohol at Vola Night Club:


Romping it out.

Flyest of the fly!

The next night we found ourselves at Guverment Night Club which had like a million mini-parties going on inside. Fun stuff.


Lovelies



Me in all my glory lol.



Well I'm sure there will be more commentary on this weekend by the others lol. Next stop: Labour Day Weekend!

Love is a lot of things but one thing it is not is unsure.

So lately the conversation of love has popped up.... & I know due to the lack of good men out there and the stupid stunts they pull alot of ladies are screwing their face..pft* if you woulda spoke to me about this last week..id probably punch you in your face but despite it all Love is such a beautiful thing... when shared with the right person it's the strongest thing in the world. Through it all.. even when I'm upset..I've never given up on love (even though I should). Sometimes I find it pointless especially when you feel your significant other isn't returning the feeling as he/she should. The fucking irony about this emotion/feeling.. is sometimes its never enough. Sometimes the person you love so much can pull some bullshit stunt to make you feel disrespected in the worst way and then that's when you feel like the trust and everything else is out the door but 1/10 times they are actually sorry for their stupid fucked up ways - and that's when I think the power of love kicks in...when two people are ready to fight to be together ( oh..how I love Romeo & Juliet). I'm not saying people should be taking fucked up shit from their partners but sometimes it's real and that's where the tittle of this post comes in - love is alot of things but one thing it is not is "unsure" so no ifs,ands,but,maybes,inbetweens or anything...It's always a for sure thing..despite the pain and everything they've put you through..you know you're in love, you'll never have to question that... and if ever there is a time you hafta question it.. maybe you're not...just a thought people. And one thing I've never done is question my love for__________* (don't you monkeys wish I'd put a name)...Iunno.. I think I'm just bored and I haven't blogged in a while so0o I guess I'm just talking my shit but please believe just like everyone else in YFF.. my will rainbow will come and *ahem* will be at the end of it you wanna know WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY? cause one thing about our love is that its NEVER UNSURE.

P.S. Have fun driving yourselves crazy guessing and shit & remember what the saying says never ASSUME cause you make a ASS outta U not ME.=)

Cause noone has blogged in so long...

I CAN JERK IN HEEELS
*HOLLER!

Where's My Rainbow?

You know how they say after the rain there's sunshine and rainbows and fairies and such? Well they LIED because my damn rainbows haven't showed up yet. The world has to be ending, Michael Jackson is DEAD for goodness sakes. Sometimes I must wonder what the point is in striving to be a good person when you're just gonna be let down.


And still I smile.

Rest In Peace Michael Jackson

You know you wanna Phatty Girl..

..Who Me?

So0o um err.. those who are not aware..Mrs. May is a full-figured gal... And my daughter is starting a show called "Phat Girls" which basically is about how full-figured girls like ourselves can lose weight while still keeping our shape.. And since we discuss hair and I believe Mrs.Cocoa will be discussing Nail-Care real soon..I figured I can talk about losing weight and still staying healthy on our blog.. so0o no bulimic shit.. NO starving your self..its 2009.. their are ways to avoid that shit - so0o these daily posts are for the girls who are trying to lose weight, while keeping their shape.. ENJOY =)

The healthiest way to lose weight is neither crash diets nor bursts of exercise. The body likes slow changes in terms of food and exercise. For example, someone who has not exercised for years should not rush into running miles a day or pounding the treadmill. Not only will the struggle to do so leave you feeling disheartened and demotivated, you're also far more likely to injure yourself and set your fitness levels back further. The same goes for people who suddenly start starving themselves. Diets that severely restrict calories or the types of food 'allowed' can lead you to be deficient in the nutrients and vitamins that your body needs.
So if you need to lose weight, what should you do?

Introduce changes gradually.

Small changes can make a big difference. One extra biscuit a week can lead you to gain 5lb a year – cut that biscuit out of your diet and you'll lose the same amount.You are also more likely to stick to, say, swapping full-fat milk for semi-skimmed or making time for breakfast each morning than a diet that sets rules for all foods. You should think of weight loss in terms of permanently changing your eating habits. While weight-loss goals are usually set in term of weeks, the end game is to sustain these changes over months and years.

Increase your activity levels

Someone who increases the amount they exercise, but maintains the same diet and calorie intake, will almost certainly lose weight. No matter if you hate gyms - even light exercise such as a short 20 minute walk will be beneficial if done most days of the week. Every single time you exercise more than usual, you burn calories and fat. There are lots of ways to increase the amount of activity you do. Team sports, racket sports, aerobics classes, running, walking, swimming and

cycling will all improve your fitness levels. Find something you enjoy that's easy for you to do in terms of location and cost. You are then more likely to build it into your routine and continue to exercise, despite inevitably missing the odd session through holidays, family commitments, etc. Every extra step you take helps. Always use the stairs instead of the escalator or elevator, or get off the bus a stop before the usual one and walk the rest of the way. Use commercial breaks between TV-programmes to stand up and do exercise, or consider using an exercise bicycle in the living room while watching your favourite program.

Reduce your calorie intake

It's not possible to reduce body fat while eating lots of food, cakes and sweets. This doesn't mean you can never have any treats, but you need to learn how to limit these foods to small quantities - say, for special occasions.In terms of weight-loss, you can get your body to use up existing stores of fat by eating less and making healthier choices.This doesn't mean crash diet (anything less than 1500 calories), which usually ends up with you either getting weaker or giving up in desperation. Quick-fix diets can lead to a yo-yoing effect of drastic weight loss followed by weight gain, resulting in a vicious cycle.

.Um..That's it for the moment.. I don't want it to be too much to take in one day..I will be talking about this at LEAST once everyday..so0o don't forget to check up on it.

There With You ...

She said take me away from here;
Take me somewhere, where love is like breathing;
I don't care where we go;
As long as I'm there with you...

Long as I'm there with you.

There With You - Ne-Yo*

(You guys already know how much I love Ne-Yo)

Lost Ones*

Its funny how money change a situation
Miscommunication leads to complication
My emancipation dont fit your equation
I was on the humble, you - on every station
Some wan play young lauryn like she dumb
But remember not a game new under the sun
Everything you did has already been done
I know all the tricks from bricks to kingston
My ting done made your kingdom wan run
Now understand l. boogies non violent
But if a thing test me, run for mi gun
Cant take a threat to mi newborn son
Ls been this way since creation
A groupie call, you fall from temptation
Now you wanna ball over separation
Tarnish my image in your conversation
Who you gon scrimmage, like you the champion
You might win some but you just lost one

You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one

Now, now how come your talk turn cold
Gained the whole world for the price of your soul
Tryin to grab hold of what you cant control
Now youre all floss, what a sight to behold
Wisdom is better than silver and gold
I was hopeless now Im on hope road
Every man want to act like hes exempt
When him need to get down on his knees and repent
Cant slick talk on the day of judgement
Your movements similar to a serpent
Tried to play straight, how your WHOLE style bent?
Consequence is no coincidence
Hypocrites always want to play innocent
Always want to take it to the full out extent
Always want to make it seem like good intent
Never want to face it when its time for punishment
I know that you dont wanna hear my opinion
But there come many paths and you must choose one
And if you dont change then the rain soon come
See you might win some but you just lost one

You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one

You might win some but you really lost one
You just lost one, its so silly how come
When its all done did you really gain from
What you done done, its so silly how come
You just lost one

Now dont you understand man universal law
What you throw out comes back to you, star
Never underestimate those who you scar
Cause karma, karma, karma comes back to you hard
You cant hold gods people back that long
The chain of shatan wasnt made that strong
Trying to pretend like your word is your bond
But until you do right, all you do will go wrong
Now some might mistake this for just a simple song
And some dont know what they have til its gone
Now even when youre gone you can still be reborn
And, from the night can arrive the sweet dawn
Now, some might listen and some might shun
And some may think that theyve reached perfection
If you look closely youll see what youve become
Cause you might win some but you just lost one

You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one
You might win some but you just lost one

You might win some but you really lost one
You just lost one, its so silly how come
When its all done did you really gain from
What you done done, it so silly how come

COME AGAIN?!

I thought I wouldn't want to write an entry, BUT I feel like releasing. I honestly believe people are out to get YFF. These past events are so damn ridiculous it's disgusting. SPITEFUL PEOPLE AND LIARS. That's all we're dealing with.

I can only go back to karma and say SHE IS THE BIGGEST BITCH NOT COCOA! What goes around, comes around and though people may think they're hurting me or my friends, they're really hurting themselves cause they will get it back 5 times harder. Sorry but you can't commit fuckery and get away with it. The truth always comes out cause God has a flashlight and his batteries never die! The people that sit there and plot to RUIN lives only ruin their own at the end of the day cause it just looks bad on you and only you.

I didn't know that there are people that can lie soooo hard like what the hell? Aren't you scared of lightning? Aren't you scared to sleep and not wake up again? -sigh-

What I've learned about myself is that my friends and I have morals and a different kind of integrity than a lot of the girls roaming about. I swear I thought things were becoming clear but then you hear something new everyday soooo whatever I'm a good person and I deserve GOOD THINGS AND NO PACK OF SCHEMING MOTHERFUCKING WOLVES CAN CHANGE WHAT IS MEANT FOR ME!

Stuck In My Head.

Oh my soul is dying, its crying
I'm trying to understand
Please help me

How could an angel break my heart
Why didn't he catch my falling star
I wish I didn't wish so hard
Maybe I wished our love apart

How could an angel break my heart....

How Could A Angel Break My Heart

and for the most part.. we probably all feel this way.

I don't know who reads this blog but I know there is some sort of Fan Club to have over 1000 posts. Like, Maybelline said, "I know you fuckers KNOW what's going on," or what went on - or else you don't have Facebook. Remember.. there is always THREE-sides to a story.. Ignorance is TOO kind.

GOD Bless my YFF & Hype FAM-Laaaay!

I know you fuckers know whats going on.

And If you don't.. you don't own a fb account.

All this shit is hard.
I don't back down.
And I don't take punk offs....
being the bigger person is the hardest shit in the fucking world... & now that I think about it I give props to anyone who has ever turned the next cheek when being slapped...cause honestly...this shit is hard. So0o today in my blog entry I will pray.. cause honestly it seems like the only thing that can be done that wont result in jail time

God please grant us the patience that everyone needs very much.
I pray for my friends & family but even more I pray for my enemies and all those who cast evil things among my friends & I.. for the devil is alive today and lurking in material things. I'm glad you wake me up every morning even though its MTHA housing & I take the bus..I am fortunate for what you have done cause there are people out there living worse.I also thank you for that everyday. I admit I don't follow you as I should but I ask you this day for you to lay your strength upon me and my friends.. especially my YFF friends.. give us ALL the strength we need and the ability to turn our cheek and we also pray anyone doing evil among us. God I ask you to watch over us as we grow to be successful ladies. Amen

Mensonge à Moi ...

What an "EVENTFUL" (I really thought Firefox was going to put a red squiggly line under that) DAY! Prank Calls, Private Calls, Regular Phone Calls with Unknown's in the Background. Oh Yeah, YELLING. CUSSING. ATTITUDE. KISSING TEETH & CUT EYES THAT CAN'T BE SEEN!

*sigh*
I need to disappear. I wish I was like my homeboy Harry Potter and had a bloody Invisibility Cloak.
I hate being disappointed and I hate being pissed the fuck off.
My raging bull stance - Isn't a good fit on me.

Why are you so paranoid?.....

You're worried about the wrong things.
.
.
.

Ladies... Like Cocoa said it's 2009. PLEASE act right. Don't do no hood rat shit to piss me off and make me act like a hood rat. I want to be a teacher and perhaps teach your kids in the future and make sure they aren't fools like yourself.. I can't be a teacher if I scrape your face along the concrete & catch a charge cause YOU don't know how to keep your mouth shut...I'm just fucking saying... I'm human and there is only so much I can take. As the week as progressed I've noticed Toronto is full of some dumb ass tricks and it really is sad to say all of the tricks (besides 1) is 20 & up or are pregnant at the moment or already have their kid... FOOLS RAISING CHILDREN.. saddest thing ever...sigh*...Iunno I'm just venting again so0o here are somethings people should know.

1. Not everyone is a hater
But everyone is entitled to their own fucking opinion. If someone calls you ugly.. MAYBE YOU ARE..If someone calls you a whore, think back for a second how much guys you fucked for someone to be saying that. Someone says you have no swag.. MAYBE YOU DON'T.. not everyone is a fucking hater....somethings are actually just true but everyone is so caught up in everyone having haters, I guess it's an excuse when someone calls someone out.. you can just brush it off "Oh..He/She is just a hater" NO. that's now how the world works.. I hafta admit there are the occasional people who are haters BUT not everyone is a fucking hater.. people need to get over themselves.. JEEZE LOUISE.

2. If a man has a girl AND you know it..LET HIM BEEEEEEE.

No.. You can't be his wife. No..You can't be the mother of his child. NONE OF THAT SHIT CAN GWAN... Why the fuck would you wanna be with someone who has a significant other? I never understood why girls were so fucking snaky in the first place. Why wouldn't you want someone of your own.. YOU CAN'T SHARE MON.. Its nasty and its nasty... The man has a girl..he's not leaving his girl for you.. LET IT GO.. don't text his phone talking about what you can do and what his girl cant do.. cause if you could do something for him.. HE WOULD BE WITH YOU That's how people get beat up eh..over foolish things like this... Please.. foolish ladies.. you know the man has a girl.. LET HIM BE.

3. Baby Mama Drama.
Listen.... This bullshit right here is what erks me the most.. I don't know where to start.
So your a mother.. Kudos to you... As a mother learn how to fucking act... Too much fucking fools are running around thinking everyone wants the father of their child.. Why are you so paranoid?!Isn't he your husband? Doesn't he love you oh so much? So why are you calling Jane, Mary & BLUE's phone bringing them shit after they have ASSURED you they don't want your man... like ah wha tek you? Post partem depression.. RELAX... If you have to call a next girl cause of YOUR MAN maybe you and your man have some shit to work on.

4. Baby Mama Plans...
ARE NOT COOL... having a child out of spite or to prove a point is ridiculous and your plan WILL backfire in the end and when it does (which it will) don't fucking take your anger on anyone... Pitney nah hol mon again..It never did and It never will. If a man truly loves you he will be with you regardless and treat you how you should be treated.. so before you make that hole in the condom or tell that lie about you being on the pill or not being able to have kids.. THINK ABOUT IT.. Would you want to bring a kid into the world under such conditions.. like come on who wants a trophy child? It's not fair to the man & it's not fair to the child.

5.Using technology to get rude...
is not the business..If you want to make a point through phone, facebook,hi5,tdotwire, writing it in the air, writing it in a letter and dropping off at lake ontario and hoping it finds its way to the person.. BY ALL MEANS go ahead.. I don't care.. it's something I'd so but MAKE SUREEEEE I can't stress this enough MAKE SURE..if you can be a Bod gyal when your doing such things make sure your ready to take bod gyal beats when the person sees you... simple as that.

.. this one is for the dudes.. you guys are moving like some bitches too.

6. STOP PLAYING AROUND.
Everything above listed mostly starts from a fucking boy - If you wanna fuck around.. Be a man about it, let the girl know, what she does from there is up to her. You fuckers can't have your cake and eat it too, your fucking around with girls FEELINGS. That's when clothes get burned & dicks get chopped. I know its hard for you fools walking around with a penis but all I ask is be honest with your girl... let her know whats going on cause remember What goes around ./. Comes around... No one can be a player for life... Remember Maybelline told ya!

- Iunno I'm all outta things to say.. I'm 18 and live a crazy life...& if you read my posts you'll know I am not fucking lying Ladies act right & fellas do whats right.. the world could be a better place! -

Washing Those Lovely Naps!

It's been a while since my last hair post and since I'm sitting under my bonnet dryer with a protein treatment in my hair [I'm aware it's like 3:00 in the morning], why not do one now lol.


Today I'm gonna talk about how to properly wash your hair. I know you're probably thinking how can you wash your hair wrong? Well I'm here to inform you on how to wash your hair well.

From years of washing my own hair, I've noticed some small things that make it easier to wash your own hair and avoid serious tangles.

1. Detangle your hair with a big tooth comb before you begin washing. This is the best thing you can do to avoid tangles. Remember when you comb start from the ends and work your way to the top. TRUST ME ITS EASIER. Don't get frustrated and rip the comb through your hair like I used to do. This step is especially important if you've just taken out braids or a weave.

2. Rinse your hair before about 2-3 minutes before you add your shampoo. When the hair is thoroughly soaked, it lathers much easier and you avoid wasting shampoo (once again like I used to do).

3. Add your shampoo but don't kill it on the first lather. When you're hair is really dirty do you notice that it doesn't lather very well the first time? Don't keep adding soap until it lathers cause trust me you'll just waste soap. Just work your fingers for like 2 minutes and rinse it out, even if you don't see a drop of lather. On your second lather you'll see that it lathers much easier because you've rinsed most of the hardcore dirt off the first time.

4. When washing try not to scratch your scalp with your nails even though it FEELS SO GOOOD; it;s bad for your scalp. Use the pads of your fingertips. I'm still getting the hang of doing this lol.

5. Use lukewarm water when washing so the cuticles on your hair strands will open and be ready for your conditioner after. Don't use scalding hot water either because this can dry your hair out.

6. When you're done washing, BLOT your hair with a towel don't rub it around like crazy because this can damage your hair. Remember when your hair is wet that is when it is the most fragile. You can even use an old t-shirt because they have less resistant on a towel and dry your hair faster (surprisingly).

7. Now you're hair is ready for conditioning! You can use a regular conditioner or you can deep condition it's up to you. Some people deep condition every time they wash and some don't. Your choice. A good tip when conditioning your hair is to use cold water on your last rinse. This closes your cuticles that have been open and makes your hair shaft smoother and softer, which allows for less detangles.

8. When you're all done remember to detangle once again with a big toothed comb (best combs ever for washing and detangling) and you can choose to air dry or blow dry. If blow drying, use a heat protectant beforehand to avoid heat damage. I use IC Fanatasia Heat Protectant and it works well.


Okay now you're ready to wash your hair! Ready, set, goooooo. =)

P.S: Folks please don't wash your hair once every 3 months cause that's just gross. I know some parents have raised their children that way LOL, so it's not your fault but COME ON. I think you should wash your hair at the LEAST every 2 weeks. If my hair isn't in a weave, I prefer every week. I think you can get away with longer if your hair is in a weave but don't push it. When my hair is weaved up I wash it every 2 weeks. =)

.. That's What I'm Talking 'Bout...

SOOO..
HAS ANYONE SEEEEEEEEEN THE TWO MEN AND ONE @$">HORSE??@?!??@?#?>@$#?@
ahhhhhhhhhhhh!


- I am WOUNDED FOR LIFE!
I am no longer the SAME person I was before last week Thursday!
HOW DARE THEY?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The world is spoiling (Now all those fluent in Twi, say that in Twi. Sounds better)
I wish I could post the link but yeah I am scared for my life and will never drive past Woodbine Race Track and think the same.

Can you imagine a man taking a horse in his butthole. Bending over.. Backwards (Too much RDX) .. WELL IF YOU CAN IMAGINE THAT THEN YOU HAVE BLOODY SICK MIND AND I WILL TAKE THE BLOOD OF JESUS TO BITE YOUR EYES (Say that in Twi too)

The irony of that whole stunt was this man did this to "save" the horse and he ended up passing away after. Life Mash Up!

TRIFLING ASS PEOPLE IN '09.

I know we are tired of hearing it's '09 so act right and yadda yadda, BUT FOR REAL THOUGH IT'S '09 ACT RIGHT. I mean most of the people I know are out of their teens or will be next year [Hi Maybelline] so it's time to stop the fuckery. I've compiled a short list of stupidness I've noticed in our community and believe they should be brought to an immediate hault.

1. Girls buying Haterade in packs of 50.

Stop hating on other girls when they have done nothing to YOU. Jealous bitches are never cute. Don't hate a girl just cause your man wants her or because her hairstyle is FLY AS HELL or because she can dress or because you can't be her. THESE THINGS ARE NOT HER FAULT LOL. Oh and stop with the stares cause not everyone will look away when you stare them down okay? Some of us are crazy and will stare the fuck back or cuss you out. If you have a problem with someone TELL THEM or at least message them on facebook like damn lol.

2. Pitney Nuh Hol' a Mon Down

If you haven't heard the song then find it. Do not have a baby for a man to hold him cause IT WILL NOT WORK and it's not fair to the child. A man will love you because he loves you not because you decided to trap him and change all his life plans ANNND yours. No one wants a trophy child, plus it's kind of embarrassing when the whole world knows you're pregnant out of spite LOL. Shout out to all the baby mommas that had their child out of LOVE and not due to plotting and scheming.

3. YOU ARE THE FATHER; SO ACT LIKE IT.

If you're a baby father in '09 congratulations to you. Now, please do not become a stereotypical baby father and act like you don't have a child or a child on the way. Sorry but you can't be that young male that grinds up on every girl in the party or tries to spit game to other girls on the low. First of all its disrespectful to your baby mother or wife. She's at home with swollen fucking feet and you're running around like a 12 year old boy that just discovered sex, CUT IT OUT. Start planning for your child and stop acting like an idiot. --EDIT: If you are a baby father who has been trapped then I am sorry you were fooled but you still have to be there for your child even if you're baby mother is evil. I understand the overwhelming temptation to say fuck her but just hang on for 18 years YOU CAN DO IT! After that you can hang with your child instead of the baby mother. =)

4. DON'T BE OFFENDED.

This compiled list is not to offend anyone. So before you pick up your cell phone and press *67 , remember that if you're mad, something on this list MUST apply to you and it hurts. This list is to promote change. Don't you see how people have their thoughts and sterotypes about black people and the sad part is they are often right on the money? LETS CHANGE THAT PLEASE.

No one is perfect but let's not act like fools because of that okay children?
I type it out of loveee. =)

Cocoa.Berry [xoxo].

Just something I thought you should know....

ANYWHOO...PROCRASTINATION GETS YOU NOWHERE IN LIFE!
.
.

P.S. Whats wrong with celine dion below me
& for the record breaking into my house is NOT cool..what if I was giving a red light special...PRIVACY INVADED MUCH!

BECAUSE WE LOVE YOU!

Due to our unconditional love for Maybelline North-East, Ashley (Koko), Fash, Shem & I camped outside of May's house until she popped out of whatever corner she disappeared too. After waiting for an hour and having a sudden urge to urinate we decided to climb to her living room window =) We thought about doing this before (once again in the rain) when May was locked out of her house and had no keys but since she is such a dunce-cap and didnt realize her keys were REALLY in the front of Adjoa Serwaa's vechile we didn't get to try that plan out. SO, with the assistance of a young stud, Koko climbed into the window of May's living room and opened the window and broke into her house... RAIN OR SHINE! ALLLLLLLLLLLL BECAUSE WE LOVE YOU MAYBELLINE! NOW START SLEEPING WITH YOUR HOUSE PHONE!


-----
On another note, SOME people in this world are just fucking assholes. First acid now this: "The One You Came to See."

And Um. I'm upset. Why is Page's video coming out now. I heard "I'm Still Fly" in EARLY Aug '08 at Caribana Sunday Hot 97 Party (A MUST ATTEND PAR-TAY!) .. LIKEEEE! UGH! I wish it came out earlier =(

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NTIIIIIIIIIII!

Who knows when the fuck you will see this but
HAPPPY BIRTHDAY JENNIFER BARBIE NTI
WE LOVEEEEEEEEE YOUUUUUUUU.

A Message to Our Readers..

Just a Friendly Reminder ..

WHAT A FUCKIN' WEEKEND.

This weekend has done nothing but piss me off. First of all just to get to work alone yesterday was hell; it felt like I was on some kind of reality show. My goal yesterday morning was to make it to my stop by 8:12 because the next bus came it at 8:42 which would make me late. So I was on a roll and was a few stops away. This FUCKING man in a scooter or electric wheelchair WHATEVER, has the nerve to ring the bell and then get up out of his wheelchair with nooo limping, no problem whatsoever; picks up his heavy ass box that he left on the place where it says you shouldn't sit [lol] and walks off the bus.

THEN he comes back up on the bus so he can sit back on his damn scooter and take TEN YEARS just to reverse the damn scooter off the bus. --I don't think I've ever been so mad without opening my mouth. Why the fuck are you on a scooter if you can walk?! Like if you can pick up a heavy ass box and walk with it off the bus then you should've PICKED UP THE FUCKING SCOOTER AND TAKE IT OFF THE BUS TOO FOOL. Oh my gosh like these are the people that are scamming people for our tax money. So after delaying me I still had like 2 minutes to get there, not knowing that I got onto the wrong bus and it turned RIGHT BEFORE MY STOP.

So now I got off and started running to the damn bus stop and what do I see? My bus leaving my ass behind because my luck is THAT BAD FOLKS. Today it took me soooo long to get home because of the damn YRT bus. Like 3.25 just to get down the street? Plus I had to partially cab it to work because the bus doesn't run that damn early? LIKE UGH FUCK EVERYONE! I am too young to be going through all these trials and tribulations, especially by myself. =(

ROAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR.

You guys don't know how pissed I am right now for real. -

- Um. Is it me just being really sleepy or does the counter say 67(insert number here).
Mer likes to refresh the blog too much. LIKEEEEEEEEEEEEE, refreshING the blog six-hundred and seventy-something times, GEEZ MER GET A LIFE!
All jokes aside though, I am quite surprised to see that many views. I didn't really think anyone would view our blog. God Bless the viewers.

What a way time flies. The week is over and I feel like if I took pictures of what we did from Sunday to Saturday you would REALLY see where the blog got its name from. INTENSE late nights - til the break of dawn. Usually the sun is slowly blessing the sky at around six but it decided to step out early instead at five. If you really haven't gotten the chance to just take in the sunrise from outside your window or while driving on empty roads, please do. It is really pretty.


Bonne Nuit



- Oh yeah! Ne-Yo has a video for "Part of the List" (if you didn't know already I AM an R&B head & Ne-Yo Fan) .. *sigh - Plays the song in Windows Media Player* TOO BAD THE BLOODY VIDEO CAN NOT BE EMBEDDED! TWO MIDDLE FINGERS TO YOU YOUTUBEEEEEEEE! CHEW! Ok. Now the penguin of R&B needs a video for "Fade Into the Background," "Back To What You Know," "Lie to Me," The Rest of the Year of the Gentleman Album, "Ready to Fall," "Me Without You" & OF COURSE "My Diamond" <3 <3 <3 and I will be ever so grateful. Oh yeah, I would love to see a video for Lloyd's "Party Girl," as well. My chest is very high. No harm in daydreaming when you're about to dream.

Bonne Nuit.
