Chama's visit to Edinburgh

Edinburgh Castle ( using not so very good camera)...yeah always blame it on the camera when you cant take good pics.

Chama and I when we were about to go out to dinner... 6mnths pregnant with Koji


Chama at Beef eaters....we were so hungry and the food took ages!


Congratulations President Barack Obama

I have been speechless for the past few days about Obama being elected president...I have been dreaming about it and really I have no words and everytime I think about it, the hairs on my back stand up from excitement of course...I am just so pleased, we have made history and now we know that as black people the sky is truly the limit, we are now in the most powerful office in the world...wow!!! This just means that for all you brothers and sisters out there who are dreaming of becoming a somebody or doing something extra ordinary now you know that it can achieved, Obama has shown us the way...it is totally doable!!! I am now officially a number one fun of Obama. Well done, I honestly could not say this enough. Just looking at him in the photos or watching him talk, you just know there is something special and extra ordinary about this guy. I should also commend McCain for his speech, I thought it was nice, he is a gracious loser and I kinda felt sorry for him a bit. I am happy that I am alive to see history made.

I am writing this in a hurry (Enlish, grammer and spelling not to good), kids running riot. Gotta go!

Peace love and hair grease

The Best Race Car Driver In The World

May I start by congratulating Lewis Hamilton.....Well done! Brilliant race, nail biting and you just did it....oh well done! a very nice end to a glorious weekend. Good race...and again well done!

Last night I watched a documentary called 'Billion Dollar Man' it was about Lewis Hamilton, I was touched and impressed at how much him and his Dad have worked so hard to be where he is, I know in the previous post I criticised him for seeing a pussycat doll. Now all I want to say is well done for all your hard work and you deserve to be happy and live your life to the full...Wow! Well done kiddo

Wedding dresses & Bridzillas

After a lot of compliments about Mande's wedding dress, I felt compelled to explain one or two things about wedding dresses and also to give you the website of where I think should be any brides first point of call when shopping around for a dress (www.pronutia.co.uk) or you can just google pronutia. This place is amazing! This is where I bought my fabulous wedding dress which I recieved raving compliments about, so far I have met at least 7 other brides who told me they also went to pronutia, literally went in picked a dress and it just felt right, also the dresses are so reasonably priced its unbelievable! (You know where you look at the price tag and you think no there must be some kind of a mistake).
If you can go into a shop and pick a dress right there and then on the spot then you know you have made the right choice, you are choosing a dress that represents you and your personality, these are dresses that just fit you like a glove (they really do!) so my point is, Ladies you should never let anyone buy you a dress, it does not feel right , a bride knows how she wants to look on her big day, she wants to look sexy, sophisticated but yet comfortable, she already has an imagine how she wants to look when thee ONE pops the question.....I know a few people who have worn dresses that have been chosen or bought by other people...they look hideous! and a friend of mine wore a dress that was bought for her, she hated it! but she couldnt really do anything about it as she had spent top dollar for it, she had no choice but wear the hideous dress (sorry mate, maybe when you renew your vows you can choose a dress of your choice...no?! A bride forms a relationship with her dress when picking it, you imagine yourself wearing it on that special day, you imagine how you will look walking down that aisle and that first dance...aaah heaven

Its kinda the same kinda feeling you feel when you meet the ONE...you just know in your hearts of hearts that he is the one , you can sort of see yourself with him in the future with a big family and I am sorry to disappoint, the ONE does not give you butterflies, the one is a reasonable mature kind of love, the butterflies are there but these are kind of butterflies that come with time and they grow as you are getting to know each other as man and wife.... the kind that you nature not the kind you feel when you are with a Brad Pitt look alike on drunken night , oh and I just have to throw this one in or the Daniel Craig look alike (you know how itslike when you are drunk, you see whatever you want to see).

Anyway, its kinda the same thing with the dress, you just know when you see it, you know its right and you know that in 30yrs time when you look at it you will be like wow...! unless you have je ne se que like my late sister josephine then you can design your own killer dress (damn that woman had class!)

Look out for future post of my wedding dress, I cant actually find a pic of our wedding on this computer :-(

So to you all brides to be, you better chose right and I mean the dress and the ONE. And remember be nice to your bridesmaids....do not become a Bridzilla!
