Wunnah eva realise how malcious Bajans is? Well ppl on a whole but Bajans in particular? I just waiting to see what is gonna be said and how it is eventually gonna come back to me. Lord this is gonna be some real drama.

Once again in a good mood...no scratch that. GREAT mood. ^__^ Went to see the Incredibles tonite with the usual lunatics and once again JP made my night. The boy is an utter clown. Ian once told me that he was even more entertaining that watching television...and I have to agree. We gin soon got to start paying he for all his antics lololol.

For those of you who haven't seen it as yet you gotta go see it as soon as possible. The thing was muy hilarious!! And the graphics cha....top notch ..at least to my untrained eye.

More and more I am finding out the simple pleasures of just hanging with ppl...and more and more i realise that I have a great group of friends. Nope I am not gonna get all sappy but you don't always appreciate those ppl you have around you til much later. So rite now I am trying to recognize each of them for their qualities.

So today is a bank holiday and I oughta be in my bed. But I so excited that I can sleep past 6 lol that I up typing away.

Another reason I am finding it easier to live my life these days is that I am sorting and getting rid of some stuff that was otherwise causing me stress. I.E. my relationship with my Dad. Now from reading and from hearing me rant ppl know he's not the easiest person to get along with. I just realise that he is sorta stuck in his ways and like most older persons they aren't willing to let go of certain things. But we had a chat recently and I finally got to address some issues that were bugging me and vice versa and things have been running much smoothly since then. They aren't perfect but they're much better. I love my dad...I don't like him very much sometimes lol but I love him.

And finally. I've changed somewhat of late...some say for the better others say for the worst but it all depends on what they're getting. They're even some that say I get on like I make myself. Well I couldn't remain doormat Melissa ever letting ppl walk all over me. Suddenly I am pompous and overbearing and annoying when I decide to open my mouth and speak my mind. In a way I like it. I hate for ppl to think they have me all figured out when half the time I can't figure my ownself out. But one thing at a time. Right now I am pretty satisfied with where I am.

It's off to bed for me now. House lime at Greig's in the morning and I think he is gonna make me cook :(

Lordy I feel good. It's really important to surround urself with the right type of ppl cus it just makes life so much more fun. To alot of ppl my group of friends might seem pretty boring cus hey none of us party. But lemme tell yah...a good lime beats them all.
Just came home from a beach lime down Folkestown with a fantastic group of ppl. Had been feeling a little down earlier in the day cus of some ish that happened as I was on my way home on the bus and as I was about to leave home to head down to the beach. Luckily Kim was there for both..she handled the first situation...and my Dad handled the second....boy was I ever pissed...

Neways I couldn't dwell on it long since from the minute I landed it was kixx froms start to finish. It has been established that from this day hence any group event embarked upon must include Jean Paul. That boy is pure comic relief. :) Speak of the devil he jus signed in LOL....

Nehoos I basically have been having a great weekend.....Maybe I'll have more to post....Right now I going and bug JP. :)

Rain rain rain...lol that's all it's been these past few days. It's not really helping my laundry efforts at all.

The week hasn't been going too horribly actually. Then again it's only Wednesday so let me not speak too soon :S

Friday will signal the beginning of the much longed for weekend as well as the return of best friend extraodinaire Kim lol. And rumor has it the bf will be in as well so that's sure to amount to quite a few kixx...as well as nuff retching on my part. Use wunnah heads. Recently confirmed I will have to buy double the amount of Christmas presents this year. I don't mind really since I miss my family and haven't seen them as in altogether for over 9 years. So this visit should be fun.

Oh shucks I am such a typical Bajan lol...bypass Independence and heading straight for Christmas...lol...on that note tho Bajans tekking this Independence celebration thing a tad bit too far. Walk thru town at given hour and you will see what I mean. Blue and Yellow weave like it going outta style. I mean come on man :S The thing looks horrendous. :S But I guess I'z de only body that see it so boh.

Can't wait til I get paid this month. Heading straight for the gym. And this time I ain taking no breaks.

Is it just me or are Bajan men on a whole just plain thirsty?

As I sit to write this blog my tummy is doing somersaults cus I am so hungry. I really need to start eating breakfast before I leave home. I am not being too good to myself at all. Just barely waiting for the coffee to finish so I can drown myself in a couple of cups and then the day can really begin.

Getting home yesterday would have been murder had I not had the good fortune to run into an old friend from school. Yes I accosted the poor fella and made him walk with me away from the scores of ppl who were waiting in Baxter's Road for a van. So as we walk towards Barbaree's Hill we run into another dude who informed us that the vans aren't running into Sp'town cus Holetown is flooded. Cus suddenly it is too much effort to go across Highway 2 and come down after Holetown then continue onto to Sp'town. Rather they left hundreds of commuters stuck inside of town. The bastards. Nehoos so my friens calls his friend who informs him that yeah I can call Pops for us and he did! However a whole hour passed before Pops came for us so we spent the time liming in Eagle Hall till he came. My friend and I were in fits of laughter remembering all the stuff that happened to us and our friends at primary and secondary school. Cha den I realise I knew him for years lol. Anyway eventually we got home after making a stop at Chefette (dude's sister was hungry) and at Pricesmart (dude's sister needed to see her pics that got developed lol)

Point is I got home and let me tell you I was so thankful that I ran into him cus I had no idea who I could possibly call to take me home. I know ppl with cars but hardly any of em are willing to drive alllllllllll the way to St James just to make sure I actually got home. I can't really blame em tho cus it is a rather long drive. Ah well I manage somehow.

Well tomorrow is Friday. Think I might start my celebration early. FRIDAY!!!!!

Ah boy it's been QUITE a week. It started off on a really positive note then tailspun. So many highs, mediums and lows lol. Well this week I was pretty much working alone here since the girl I work with had a week off. The lucky duck. I never realised just how hectic her work schedule is. It's like you never have a single minute to do anything cus someone is always in your face telling you they need something NOW and you are doing 10 other things that are just as urgent. Well I tell ya..after this week I have newfound respect for her.


It rained today. And I got soaked. And I loved it! And I wouldn't have know that I was wet until that guy passed me looked me up and down (mind u I soaking wet and the rain still falling ) and announced "Sweetheart ya getting wet!!" I laughed at that all the way from the van stand to work. Where I ended up laughing more when I told the guys about it. One Greig asked me if I didn't say "gee ya think???" I was in too good a mood to do that.

I dunno what it is about the rain I love so much. It's just curl up with a good book weather ya know? I know some ppl have other ideas for what to do in that kinda weather but there's plenty of time for that in the future :)

My back is still annoying the hell outta me. I keep giving myself the little mini massages but it just does nto feel the same when ya do it for urself. I need a massage a la Lucy Lui in Charlie's Angels lol. Just get someone to walk on my back
ease out the kinks.

One of the guys in here has a kid and he just showed me some pics. And there I was like some twit cooing all over the pics at how cute he was.

Babies and Puppies. My two weaknesses.

Ya know what I strongly dislike? Ppl that try to make you feel that cus you went out and had some clean decent fun with a group of friends and you got home just a few minutes later than 12 that you’ve committed a sin equal to that of the murdering someone.



However I refuse to let someone’s close-mindedness and archaic rules spoil what has been an absolutely fantastic weekend for me!!! ^___^ It all started on Saturday with the second ladies nite we’ve had for the year. And what can I say except that it was an absolute blast and I could hang with this particular group of girls anytime. It wasn’t too different from last time. We all met up at Bubba’s and the majority of us seemed to be in the mood for a Master Blaster…either that or that was all our pockets could afford rite girls? :P

Twas cool to be able to talk and not have to worry about eating all prim and proper cus they were guys around to impress LOL…that’s not to say we were pigs or anything :$

After dinner it was off to Ship In which one Daana had informed us was free that night. 0_0 The word free caught us hook line and proverbial sinker so we all headed down there and limed for a good hour and a half talking about any and everything under the sun. Politics and Religion were the main themes that came out. And I gotta say it felt pretty damn good to be surrounded by a group of intelligent, opinionated and dare I say beautiful women!! Y’all girls were looking good!!

And I finally got to see what everyone has been saying about Daanz and her party starting abilities. That girl has no shame whatsoever and for someone as shy and retiring as myself (me pauses til laffter has finished) it was really refreshing to see someone get out there and just let loose!!

Some back in time music was playing then some sweet soca and we all …yes all…Daana didn’t see me but I was moving :P ….were grooving to it. Sophie and I took a step out when the dub came on tho. We’re not allowed to dance to that sorta music lol.

Ahhh boy it was a fantastic night. I had a ball and I know the others did too. 

Sunday now was church …but not as usual. My Pastor preached a really fantastic …and surprisingly short sermon. It was all about physical and spiritual leprosy and the similarities between the two. Basically as Christians we have to be sensitive to certain things…if we lose that sensitivity that’s the onset of spiritual leprosy. It was food for thought and I left there feeling somewhat touched by what I heard.

I was even more touched by what I saw. ^__^ I had long ago invited a good friend of mine to church and circumstances always got in the way (from both ends actually ) and he never made it. Neways..he made it this Sunday and he gave his life to the Lord. I’ll say that I could see he was heading in that direction since we talk a lot and I’ve been pressing the God issue both for him and for myself…and he had been looking to make certain changes in his life and how it was going…...it still sorta surprised me when I saw him go up but I am definitely not complaining.  I am extremely happy for him and I just pray and hope that he just moves further up in his search for God.

Still even tho I had a fantastic weekend it wasn’t so great for some friends and an acquaintance of mine. One of my good buddies (you know who you are babes) is going thru a rough time as is a female friend of mine I’ve only just started getting to know. You know I am praying for you both and I hope things work out. Love you both.

As for acquaintance…his gf was involved in a head on collision on Saturday…I don’t know the full details of it but hey I am just thankful she is ok. No one likes a tragedy correct?

Well the weekend is over and thus the week begins. This week is gonna be torture for me since by workmate is off getting her new house in order…and I am still fairly new at this job :S I just hope it all goes ok…. I ain want nuh stress this week atall.

Well! That’s it for me. Quite a bit actually but that’s to last me for the rest of the week since I doubt I’ll have the time to blog or eat or sleep or breathe….lol well you get the idea.

Have a great one!! Ciao!!

Is anyone else enjoying this Digicel Fugitive promotion that is going on? Even tho I can't participate I gotta say just listening to the ppl that won and the clues is just hilarious. ^__^ A whole month of this!!!

Awrite awrite what is new with me? Got some tough choices ahead of me but the best place to leave them is in God's hands. And before I go jumping ahead of myself I'm gonna wait for Him to tell me what to do. It's the best thing for all parties involved even tho I know by doing this I end up hurting them.

Work is going faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaast but good!! Horribly busy and I hardly ever get time to pop online like i used to. Stealing some time now.

I am confuuuuuuuuuuuuuused!!! ugh. Answers I need some. Ever wonder why you do the things you do or why they happen at all? It's like that in my kooky world.

Finally ...I need a massage. George said maybe back in the day he would have offered....however....LOL.

So rite wha gine happen??

...Lord this blog disjointed!

I'm probably gonna pay for this but still here goes...and keep in mind...it's JUST a song. An oldie but a goodie. ^___^

Perfect - By the Fairground Attraction


I don't want half hearted love affairs

I need someone who really cares.
Life is too short to play silly games

I've promised myself I won't do that again.

It's got to be perfect

It's got to be worth it
yeah.
Too many people take second best

But I won't take anything less

It's got to be
yeah
pertect.

Young hearts are foolish
they make such mistakes

They're much too eager to give their love away.
Well
I have been foolish too many times

Now I'm determined I'm gonna get it right.

It's got to be perfect
. . .

Young hearts are foolish
they make such mistakes
. . .
It's got to be perfect
. . .

It's got to be
yeah
worth it
it's got to be perfect.


Now SOMEONE has to remember this song!!
