I am only one, but I am still one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something, and I will not let what I can;t do prevent me from doing what I can. - My Life Quote ~Edward Everett Hale~
So my Faculty Advisor for this conference thingy majiggy I went to suggested I did Pilates. Heck, I actually considered it, lol Now to be really honest, I did 5 minutes and it burnt my touchie! That thing work up a sweat. hahaha I inna hot mess xD
This is the first video I did!
And then I ate ice cream and for some reason started to feel nauseous, dizzy and weak :( But I pressed on, and worked on my flexibility a bit with this video :)
Pretty basic stuff Id do now and then if im just laying in bed, but ah well.
Perhaps if I feel much better tonight I'd do more (doubt it) because
1. I don't have a mat! lol
2. My head is spinning when I move too much!
3. I have scrabble to go study for! lol
So goodnight peeps! Think that's enough stretching for today ^_^
Soooooooooooooooo! I start a lot of my blogs with soooooo, lol haha. xD Feels like I'm not progressing! ugh! So today, wasn't a great day, mentally, lol. But when you want something you have to work for it, no slacking off! And yall have no idea what I'm talking about! xD On to ziii challenge *insert epic zorro cape swipe here*
Today I showered without the light on!!!!!!!!!!! ^_^ How awesomeeeee is that? lol And I didn't even mind, it was pretty cool, ya kno, just chilling in the somewhat dark location getting clean ^_^ But I can't just let that slide as my new thing for the day, I like to push! I like to do more. Sooo I came home, and I unintentionally did something. I fell asleep at 5pm till 8pm, lol But that's still not enough yo! So Tonight, I practised writing with my left hand ^_^ It's been on my list to become more ambidextrous for so long, so I figured why not practice? So this is what I did, Mainly songs that have been on my mind because of how I currently feel.
And this is what I wrote basically.
I Promise Myself
The "Rolling in the deep and drawing" is from a day in Caribbean Studies Class this week. I think Tuesday, oh my gosh! that was the day I started learning to play this same song on the guitar :O It's like a foreshadow! twas destiny! xD haha
Ok moving on :D
Danza Kuduro (Don Omar ft Lucenzo Letra)
Pienso en ti(Enrique Iglesias)
I love you Mommy!(BECAUSE I REALLY DO! <3)
Thankful :)
There's a fire starting in my heart
Reaching a fever pitch and it's bringing me out the dark (Adele- Rolling in the Deep)
Regrets collect like old friends
here to relive your darkest moments
And all of the ghouls come out to play
And every demon wants his pound of flesh
But I like to keep some things to myself, I like to keep my issues drawn
It's always darkest before the dawn. I've been a fool and I've been blind
I can never leave the past behind. I can see no way (Florence and the Machine- Shake it out)
Don't Give Up(Josh Groban-You are Loved_
There's so much to be thankful for(Josh Groban- Thankful)
Teach me to love and serve you Lord!
Mistreated, misplaced, misunderstood, it didn't slow me down
Mistaken, always second guessing, underestimating, look I'm still around.
You are perfect to me(Pink- Perfect)
Day 18 YAY!
What I learned for today!
1. I shouldn't rush, things come in time, and just like a child learns to write, with enough practice I can get so much better! And this is awesome for building up my left side! Which is a plus since I need to for dance, the pan, piano and guitar, and just life in general ya dig? 8-)
SHOUTOUT!
Just giving my daughter Nikki a big shoutout! The simple things you do, can make the biggest impact sometimes. Thanks for tagging me in the following videos! Interesting that I remind you of these things haha ^_^
Big smiles :))))))) ^_^ Love ya honey!
Till tomorrow please the Lord. Take care everyone!
What a long, yet quick day! Slept until noon, although I was originally up and energized at 8am. But if ya interrupt ma sleep, I go back to bed and sleep longer than I originally would have so hooray for the phone ringing three times! lol I slept really bad too, my right shoulder area was hurting all afternoon, and still hurts slightly now :( But on to my challenge! I decided to give myself a pedicure! ^_^ In the shower, I scrubbed the soles of my feet with my pumice stone and got it all nice and smooth :) Whilst still damp, I trimmed my nails, cleaned out anything around my cuticles then rubbed my nails with vaseline. I started off with nail art, as suggested by my daughter Nikki :) on this site http://www.womanjunction.com/topic/nail/nail-art-ideas/ but it was difficult to get the cloth I wanted quickly, or the art I wanted. I put flowers first over a coat of pink nailpolish, but it was lame and ugly. So I just decided to paint my nails normal. One other nail was red so I thought hey let me be patriotic and paint it the colours of my flag, red, white and black. This was it originally
Yea, it's messy, so what? lol But I didn't like this either. So I polka dotted the white with red and black and I really liked how that looked! So I polka dotted all and me likes ^_^
Yay ^_^
So that's all for today. Time to go cram level spanish and other assignments due tomorrow x_x lol
So, today was hectic!-Ish. School, then planned to visit this old lady but now she's forgetting things more so it was kind of a bum when the daughter told me that :/ Then home, then music! Music was awesome though! Piano was kewlllllllllll, steelpan was kewlllll(we're composing a song) ^_^ and guitar was awesome! learning Adele Rolling in the Deep xD. Then to dance, which was pretty kewl too ^_^ and now here I am, wondering what to do. So I went ahead with a suggestion by a friend to count all the plaits in my hair. Seeing that so many people stopped me asking what was wrong with it, (my response being- nothingggggg, It just poofy! ) lol and also because sometimes I really wonder, how many plaits are in my hair! So I decided to count. I plait em in groups of 20 to be safe-ish. Can you guess? :D
Guess!
Go!

No? lol Drumroll please :D
387 plaits!lets just approximate 400, for the possibility of mistakes.
I did all that? o.O
However tiny they may be, I wish they were past 400! Perhaps I shall unloose and make some smaller *grin* :D
So there it goes. 387-400 or so plaits in my hair, whoop! -_- lol Now to go tame it x_x lol
Soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo I rel eh do my school work yet x_x haha but besides that. Today, I decided to sew! After I had to put a bunch of stuff in my Mary Poppins Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious bag(it actually says that) I realised once again, i don't want this bag to mash up any time soon! So I decided to make one my self. Butttttt instead of just being simple and using one set piece of cloth, I went multicoloured and patterned x_x Including Doubling extra cloth below to make it stronger ^_^ It took me awhile, because I had to clean my machine down, dust, wipe etc, then everytime I got down into it my Dad want chips fried, then some for me, then my Mom decide she want, then my brother say he like he in a slave family and is the maid that eh get no food x_x So I ended up doing for everyone! Then who want watermelon, de dog untie! *sigh* lol But here it is anyway.
And after several failed attempts to get a full length picture I just put it on my head, lol ^_^
Are you tired of getting wet in the rain? Holding things in your hand, people asking you to hold their things in your bag, or just plain fed up of bags being bags? Then get The bag-For-Your-head today ^_^
^ That was relllllllll lame, lol ah well
I know there are loose strings and stuff still, but I just wanted to get this up before I do my work. So that shall be fixed afterwards.
Day 15- YAYYYYYYY I GOT A NEW LUNCHBAG! ^_^
How caute ^_^ I likee eeeeet ^_^
I pricked my finger once x_x I was in a hurry to finish
oooo gooosh we go hunt yuh downnnn, hunt them downnnnnn Be safe 8-) Big tune was now playing on the television there lol xD
What I learned today?
1. Don't spin the wheel thingy too quickly or you'd bend your needle!
2. Flipping over the handles for home-sewn bags, are hard :( especially if your handle isn't thick!
Ian Alleyne have a new song boi, *wines* lol
So time for me to go cram levelllllllll school work now, lol
Till tomorrow Please the Lord. Goodnight!
And I really hope you're having an eventful week thus far
I sense a lame blog post :/ lol but YAYYYYYYY 2 WEEK MARK! *feels proud of self* I OFFICIALLY declare last week and this weekend to be THE MOST UNPRODUCTIVE school week since the new term :/ I literally did no work, no studying! All my plans to got sidetracked or put on hold for other people and things. Much like today. I hoped to do plenty work today, perhaps finish the manga I started the other night, tidy my room, sort out my books and folders, but instead I spent my entire morning helping by brother to cater a meal for over 150 people -__- So I guess that was new? Not really, I did catering during the vacation, but it was different from my usual Sundays so it counts!
Cooking fried rice and chilling with zi moms ^_^
And in addition to that, I steamed my hair with avocado and coconut oil ^_^ Twas so noice and curly!
Looks kinda gross doesn't it? lol xD But I tend to be a fan of the weirder things in life! ^_^
After that, I ended up chilling with my niece and nephew who swung by(1 yr and 4yrs(almost for bother of em) respectively) Ain't they cute! ^_^
That kind of sidetracked my plans of washing my hair after an hour, probably turned into two! But oh well. After that, I ended up picking cherries with my mom and my sister's friend x_x
And so I only just finished washing my hair and styling it. Finalmente!
So this is de style fuh de week! rocking them extra tiny plaits i did in my hair NORMEL NORMEL! Lol xD
So I guess I did a couple new/different things today :D
1. Cater
2. Avocado and coconut oil hair treatment! ^_^
3. Pick cherries(havent done that in months x_x)
4. Not do any work(lol no that's actually a norm so it doesn't count) hahaha I don't think this school teng is fuh meh nuh, lol just kidding ^_^
OOOOO! I finished with the manga! It was so touching! The last chapter was so sad, yet so sweet at the same time *wipes tear* (Don't judge me!, lol u can, but heck I don't care! When you get into a show, book, something, you Really! get into it >.<) lol xD
So in conclusion(sounding like I'm writing a chemistry lab here boi, lol) today was quite eventful! And now, I'm really hungry because I didn't eat a solid meal for the day o.O
Time to go buss down some fried rice and stew chicken and fry fish and cassava and meh brother took all de peas >.< and pie with some smalta nd teng ^_^
Chau Chau! and do have a wonderful and eventful week!
~Whatever you do will be insignificant, but it is very important that you do it~
Rumba!, si. Ella quiere su Rumba, como? Rumba! si. Ella quiere su rumba,como?
Si es verdad que tu eres guapa, yo te voy a poner gozar, tu tiene la boca grande, dale ponte a jugar, como?
ONE TWO THREE FOUR
UNO DOS TRES CUATRO xD
Zumba was my idea for my first challenge, but I had to download videos so it didn't go as I'd hoped and I put it off. My day didn't go quite exactly as I'd hoped either. I wanted to study whole morning till afternoon, then go to my drama class, but instead I got kidnapped by my brother, chilled with mah nephew, went to get a few stuff :D and foodie! ^_^
When I came home from drama and ate the 3 piece combo from popeyes I got, I had already decided yes! with all this junk, time to zumba :D
In case you don;t know what zumba is, check out Urban dictionary's definitions xD
Zumba is a fusion of body sculpting movements with easy to follow dance steps to the tune of Latin and International music. The routine features aerobic/fitness interval training with a combination of fast and slow rhythms that tone and sculpt the body. Zumba utilizes the principles of fitness interval training and resistance training to maximize caloric output, fat burning and total body toning.
I downloaded a torrent called "Zumba Fitness- Cardio Party" and it was pretty cool! There's all the steps being used being broken down in separate videos, and then one full 45-50 minute length workout. I had a heck of alot of fun, although some of the moves confused me at first, like the quedabrita, and andale step, lol The Cumbia Funk is pretty cool so look it up! :) So as of now, I'm literally draineddddddd. And in addition to that 50 minute workout I did some of these from youtube and some of their other videos as suggested by zi lovely Salma :)
Oh and also in addition to these other routines, I did 200 crunches with the ab king pro o.O. Started off as 100, but I figured heck,if I did 100 in less than 5 minutes, why not do another 100, lol
So needless to say now, Iz ah tired man(its an expression? lol)
Day 13- Success!
Drained- Check
Satisfied- Check
Feeling for watermelon?- Check :D *heads to fridge* ^_^
Hope you guys consider trying the zumba as well. It's really fun, and if ya don't know how to wine, well you'd learn, have fun, and tone ya bootayy! ^_^
That's it for today folks. Keep sexy ;)
Y no Olvide! las manos arriba cintura sola
Da media vuelta danza kuduro
No te canses ahora que esto solo empieza
Mueve la cabeza danza kuduro!
NB- Kuduro (or kuduru) is a type of music and dance originally born in Angola in the 1980s. It is characterized as uptempo, energetic, and danceable. Kuduro, which translates as "hard ass", began in Luanda, Angola in the late 80s. Initially, producers sampled traditional carnival music like zouk and soca from the Caribbean(big up mehselffff ^_^) and semba from Angola and laid this around a fast 4/4 beat.
^Just a tid bit for all those who wonder what "Danza Kuduro" Meant :)
Think I'll try zouk some time ^_^
In case you're not familiar with that, check eeeet out here :D And I'm gone...again ^_^
