American Gangster

I had been organizing my stuff for a good while, when I decided I needed a break. So I went down to my little brother’s room to see if he had a movie I wanted to see. I must say I was really surprised when I saw he had the movie “American Gangster”. Even though I’m the one that bought it for him :P. I bought it sometime last year and it really just slipped my mind. Anyways, I really really enjoyed the movie. In short the movie is about guns, drugs, family, honor, love and money. Denzel Washington did an excellent performance, along with the rest of the cast. I feel the need to give a special shout out to all the eye candy in the movie, you lot kept me smiling: So thank you Common, T.I. and Chiwetel Ejiofor! One of my favorite artists, Anthony Hamilton, makes a musical appearance as well. Just perfect!

Have you seen the movie? Thoughts?

Shopping...

I feel like going shopping, something I often feel like doing. But as I sit on my bed looking around, I wouldn’t have space to put any new clothes, bags, shoes, books or stuff in general. My room isn’t too big and I like to have free space where there is next to nothing, but that’s not a possibility in my room. I’ve stopped counting shoes or bags, because it doesn’t get me anywhere. There are days where I wish I didn’t have as many things that I do, cause most of the time I just walk past them. I normally rock the same outfits, shoes and bags for a period. Then I switch up. And there are always some pieces that I never wear or even remember that I have. Even though I’m very aware of this, I can’t seem to get rid of the items. Because you might need or use it one day. Well enough is enough. I’m going to (try to) get rid of a lot of things and as I do so I’m not going to buy new stuff. I think I should have a rule: “Everything I haven’t used the last couple of years got to go!”

To communicate

Today we went to a seminar. It was a seminar arranged by a group of african youth and the topic was "Communication between parents and youth". The seminar was interesting and the youth in charge of the seminar had a lot of good points. Communication and youth is an important subject, that needs all the attention it can get. To have good communication within a family can be quite challenging. Youth and parents are basically at two diffrent places in life, so they really need to be enganged to make the communication work. I'm gonna leave the blog entry at that. I'm not really in the mood of writing.

On our way to the seminar. Had to stop at Narvesen to buy Coke and sweets.

Enjoying the seminar

Back home again. I felt Amish in my dress!

What did you do today?

Hi Everyone

Today I’ve been to work. After work I meet Bailey and we bought a delayed birthday present to our sister Chinyere, and we did some shopping as well. I bought two books. Something people might not know is that I love reading and I have a mini library in my room. Sometimes I love reading superficial books like the “Gossip Girl” books, or other times book with deeper meaning or biographies like the biography about “Mao”.

One of the books I bought today was “China Witness, voices from a silent generation” by Xinran. This is what it says on the back of the book: “China Witness is the personal testimony of a generation whose stories have not yet been told”. Xinran is one of my favorite authors I have other books by her. But if you want to enjoy her books, you should be able to reflect on things, and understand that everything is not as it seems and everything has deeper meaning. It really makes you think about your life, and how lucky it is that all your problems aren’t really problems, compare to other people. And how lucky you are if you are born in what I call a “right” country (No offence). The other book I bought is called “The Help” and is by Kathryn Stockett. I have never heard of this author before, but the cover of the book and what it said on the back of the book at sold me it says: “The First time I was ever called ugly, I was thirteen”. After that I was sold. I’m looking forward to read this book. I just hope it doesn’t turn out to be a big disappointment.

Have you read any good books lately?

About life

Why is it that life doesn’t go according to your plans? Everything can be laid out perfectly, but still nothing. It really bugs me. The past few days I’ve had plans to do certain things that I know will take me to the next level I want to be in life. But for some reason I haven’t gotten anywhere. I’ve noticed that this is a pattern in my life and it’s starting to irritate me. Maybe I’m just scared? That’s a hard one to admit, but I guess I am. I can be so scared of failing that I don’t do anything at all. I sometimes look at being scared as not being free from other people’s expectations. Those times I admire people who seem to execute all their life plans and I often ask myself how they do it? Not that I expect their answer to be my answer, cause we are all different people who like to do things their own way. But I like to be inspired and take the bits that I think will work for me. I’ve got to find a way to do things, so that I can be the me I want to be.

Do you manage to execute your life plans, if so how do you do it?

M.O.P!!!

Hi Everyone

Yesterday we went to see M.O.P ++ at Rockefeller. It was such a good show we had so much fun. My boss wanted me to go backstage to take pictures with the artists, so me and Bailey did. Backstage we got to jam with M.O.P, Termanology, Tommy Tee, Reks and Ill Bill. They are all really nice people and they even gave us a shout out while performing. As M.O.P was doing their last song, "Ante Up" Lil'Fame wanted his sisters (that's us!) to come up on stage with them. It was really cool, we had a lot of fun!

Shout out to Chris. Thaaaaanks :D

Confessions

Last week I started my new diet. It basically consisted of me only eating sugary foods once a week. That was the plan, but it didn't exactly work out. To be honest I only managed to follow my plan for the first three days. I've cheated since saturday :P. Oh well.


Best cider ever


Happy dinner to me!

Personal!!

Hi Everyone

I’m going to make this blog post a bit more personal than my previous ones. Since my lovely and beautiful friend, Rebecca keeps telling me that the blog is getting boring. So here it goes. I have Crohn’s Disease, and as they say at Wikipedia. (Crohn’s disease is an inflammatory disease of the intestines that may affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract from anus to mouth, causing a wide variety of symptoms. It primarily causes abdominal pain, diarrhea (which may be bloody), vomiting, but may also cause complications outside of the gastrointestinal tract such as skin rashes, arthritis and inflammation of the eye. Crohn's disease is an autoimmune disease, in which the body's immune system attacks the gastrointestinal tract, causing inflammation; it is classified as a type of inflammatory bowel disease.)Just to keep it short it changed my life forever.

I don’t know if Crohn’s disease made me a better person, a bitter person, or just a bad person. I look around at people who waste their life’s but they are still healthy, personally I don’t think that’s fair. I’m not a bad person really. So why did I get this disease? Some people say everything happens for a reason. I just don’t and can’t believe that anymore. There are things in life I just don’t care about which is quite sad. Because of my Crohn’s there are so many things I can’t do that I could do before. Those things I can’t do now are stuff you would look at as so normal and won’t think about. There are foods I can’t eat as well anymore. The lists go on and on. So I’m not going to begin.As said earlier in the post there are things I don’t care about any longer.

But something I care about is how people discriminate disabled people. I’m classified disabled but since you can’t see my disability, I don’t get discriminated in the way people with a visual disability. It sickens me when I see and hear the way people talk and what they call disabled people. I hear them and I think “Are you Okay? Obviously not, since you have to look down on people”. That was all I have to say for now. And Rebecca I hope you are happy now!
