Just stand up to cancer!!!

Hello there, the video which you just saw (well at least I hope you looked at it)is my topic for today. Yes very exciting indeed, so get me some snacks and let's watch it together. The song entitled, 'Just Stand up', features fifteen of today's top artists namely Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Leona Lewis, Natasha Bedingfield, Carrie Underwood, Melissa Etheridge, Keyshia Cole, Leann Rimes, *takes a deep breathe in*, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Fergie, Sheryl Crow, Mary-J Blige, Ashanti and Ciara.

The song is about cancer, but fortunately anyone can relate to it even if they don't have cancer. The lyrics are as follows:

Just Stand Up Lyrics

The heart is stronger
Than you think
It's like it can go
Through anything
And even when you think
It can't it finds a way
To still push on
Though

Sometimes
You want to run away
Ain't got the patience
For the pain
And if you
Don't believe it
Look into
Your heart
The beat goes on

I'm tellin' you
Things get better
Through whatever
If you fall
Dust it off
Don't let up

Don't you know
You can go
Be your own miracle

You need to know...

Chorus :
If the mind
Keeps thinking
You've had enough
But the heart
Keeps telling you
Don't give up

Who are we to be
Questioning
Wondering what is what
Don't give up
Through it all
Just stand up

It's like
We all have better days
Problems getting all up
In your face

Just because
You go through it

Don't mean it got
To take control, no

You ain't gotta find
No hiding place

Because your heart
Can beat the hate

Don't wanna
Let your mind
Keep playin' you

And sayin' you
Can't move on

I'm tellin' you

Things get better
Through whatever
If you fall
Dust if off
Don't let up
Don't you know you
Can go
Be your own
Miracle
You need to know

Chorus:
If the mind
Keeps thinking
You've had enough
But the heart
Keeps telling you
Don't give up
Who are we to be
Questioning
Wondering what is what
Don't give up
Through it all
Just stand up


You don't gotta be
A prisoner
In your mind
If you fall
Dust it off
You can live your life
Yeah
Let your heart
Be your guide
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And you will know
That you're good
If you trust in the good

Everything
Will be alright, yeah
Light up the dark
If you follow your heart
And it will get better
Through whatever

[Chorus-All]
If the mind
Keeps thinking
You've had enough
But the heart
Keeps telling you
Don't give up
Who are we to be
Questioning
Wondering what is what
Don't give up
Through it all
Just stand up

You got it in you
Find it within
You got in now
Find it within now
You got in you
Find it within
You got in now
Find it within now
You got in you
Ffind it within
Find it within you
Find it within

Through It All, Just Stand up!!

What a Saturday......

I awoke sometime after 6, and it took me about three seconds to realize that it was not a dream. The anger that followed through out the day only added to the pre-existing anger that I thought would have disappeared in some random dream through out the night. Life ain't so dandy, I've noticed that.

After washing a few pieces of clothing I headed for the kitchen. Cooking lifted my spirits. (That's not weird...ok!).

I headed to Church for a Youth Group executive meeting (Yes I'm the PRO :D). At that point nothing extremely fascinating had occurred. I caught a minivan I didn't like, but that only because I had no choice, it was late and I needed to get to Greaves so I could get home. I would deal with that van another time......lol

Nehuz, as I approached my destination, we became a part of an unusual build up of traffic in Arnos Vale. Wanting to know what was going on, I conveniently hopped out of the van (Not me and that again) and headed to Greaves, which was just a two minutes walk away. On arriving at the scene, I saw a man lying on the ground covered in blood (well his face), with a man and a woman lying beside him and immediately my heart began to race. I regretted for a moment leaving my camera at home. (Some other random guy got pics)

As the crowd of curious onlookers grew, the man regained consciousness and felt about his face only to see blood smeared all over his hand. Boy he musse panic! Eye witnesses were already accounting for what took place less than five minutes ago. According to these eye witnesses, a vehicle stopped to let the man cross the street but for some reason another vehicle overtook (he probably thought he was pulling aside I believe), and BAM! the guy went flying through the air (I added the flying through the air part......all ah kno he land on the ground and he geh a hard enough hit to knock him out)

I just don't understand why it took almost half an hour for the guy to be taken to the hospital. Yep! That's how long it took for an ambulance, from KINGSTOWN, to get to ARNOS VALE.......traffic!!! ( I would like to believe)

Anyways, not too long after there was an accident just a few feet from where the man was hit. Somebody put a hex on Arnos Vale or something? So that was a whole set ah traffic again. By that time it was around 7:00pm.

Now back to me. Poor Fayt was stranded in Calliaqua waiting on her ride home. Phone not working so poor me again had to go scrunt phone call from somebody. Then only to see me ride pass me straight. I was having a ball!!! I would not have minded all that much if I had a seat, a place to rest my bag and one less drunken man to harass me ana.

This boy was a clown. He even told me that he'd always be there for me. Now I don't here that everyday now do I?

Ok so I'm making fun of him and he realizes it for he says that I'm aggressive which he likes. (But lawds). Then he asks me to give him my shoe size (ok!...wat?), my undergrament size.......*screech* (WTH?!?!?!) Right dey I geh vex!

"So yea yuh go gih me yuh shoe size..."

"Fuh wat??"

"...just in case I wah send you a presant....and ah wah yuh panty size...."

"Excuse me?? What you really just ask me...(one bad eye)"

"No ah mek a mistake......."

"You ain't mek no mistake. That just come straight out yuh mouth unless that was the rum talking again."

He laughs...."Mek you so evil?"

"When you get disrespectful I will get evil."

He walks away. And when I think he gone fuh good he come back again asking me shit. Then he began to sing to me. OMG..... Why me?? Not like it wasn't funny....but why me??? I had to go through that torture for about an hour....poor me......

Yep that was how I practically spent an amazing Saturday.....notice I didn't say anything about school work?......LOL! Life sweet......

I want to bake cookies!!!!

*~*Fayt*~*

Mek dem tek so long???

Friday's landslide incident is no doubt, still fresh in our minds. What happened to the late Patricia Bowman was as unexpected as the response the situation received. To this day I don't think anyone has yet realized how serious this is. I have given it much thought since then, trying to figure out exactly what happened through out that day. Many questions and concerns circulate my head and I'm sure many others are wondering the same thing as well: Mek dem tek so long???

If the incident occurred at 11:00am why did it take more than three hours for clean up of the area to begin? This questions highlights how we as a country take things for granted and how quickly NEMO responds to disasters. During a television interview, I watched on as the NEMO

tried their very best to make up silly reasons for their late response to the situation. Articles after articles were bent towards the fact that they took so long to enter the search and rescue mode. Unfortunately Mr. NEMO did not do justice to convince me and many other Vincentians. Mr. NEMO stated that no one told them that there might be a possibility of a car being buried under the debris until sometime after 2:00pm that afternoon.

Hey NEMO Jax wall bruk-way. Yuh kno wey da dey? No it ain't dey on the main road. It bruk-way pon a road da deserted. Not a single soul duz drive past dey to go home, cuz about half the population live on the Windward side and everybody decided to use the cross country road and the helicopter dem. Somebody saw smoke coming from the debris. The van driver who narrowly escaped death said that there was a car in front of him and he wasn't sure if the car escaped, but THAT doesn't mean that someone is trapped under there....

Allow me to take this opportunity to correct an error that was made in a previous post. The incident did not take place in Prospect, it's Ratho Mill.

Right so I have already established the fact that common sense isn't so common as we would like to believe. A post-mortem on Bowman's body revealed that she died of suffocation, which could only mean one thing; she didn't necessarily die on the spot, so there was still a chance, even tho' it may be very small, that they would have found her alive. How long it took for her to see the light no one knows, but the fact remains NEMO tek too damn long man.

Nehuz......tons of information in the Newspaper and on the Internet.

If you haven't received any photos of this incident via email then click HERE (It's just a few tho')

Ciao.....next up (tonight) is something out of the random blue.........

"Why are some men So disrespectful?"- Part 2

Two days ago I posted a little something out of mere anger of what a particular young man did to me. Please be aware of the fact that if you were not at the scene of the crime then you will get the wrong idea of what occurred. If you knew what really happened then what I said was an over exaggeration, but that was necessary to maintain a level of privacy.


An anonymous individual commented on my post and I gather that he's not too pleased with what I said. I must say that I am extremely perturbed by this statement. I appreciate the fact that people will have different views, and I will listen to you once you present your opinions in an appropriate manner, very much unlike what took place in the Biology Laboratory last afternoon.

Firstly, I don't hate men. I clearly stated that at the end of my post. Secondly, the article was posted under the heading "Why are some men SO disrespectful?" NOT "Why are men So disrespectful?" It is of my opinion that some readers might have been so annoyed by the topic that some words were skipped out. Maybe a little anger clouded the pathway to clear understanding. Who knows?

The anonymous individual states that "cuz wen it comes down to it yall made us into what we are". This is true to some extent, but don't you think that it works in both ways? So in the end is it right to point fingers and say that men or women is the cause of all this confusion?

I believe that if one has something to say about the topic then they should let their voices be heard by many and not just me. To all boys and girls reading this, please respect the opposite sex for the sake of humanity. You give respect to get respect.

*sigh*

So let's start something new today. How about you respect your friend and in return you should gain respect from that individual. So it starts with you! And don't be afraid to let your voice be heard!(however tiny it may be)

(One more thing, "horny sex puppies"??? *confused look* When I look at a boy I don't see that in him. I see a unique individual who has to potential to be great, not a horny sex puppy. I'm not like that, please. )

Why are some men SO disrespectful???

Today, while standing outside the Chemistry Laboratory with some of my friends, something very disturbing occurred. This incident brought to my attention the fact that some boys have obviously not been keeping track of my blog and more importantly, that some boys have NO respect for us young ladies.

(long pause)

In one of my previous posts (These words are very random), I recall making mention of this topic. Why can't boys keep their hands to themselves? Is 'molesting' young ladies in broad daylight a new trend? Well excuse me for being old-fashioned, but me nah warh no bwoi touch meh!!!! It is my opinion that some boys just see us as objects that they can pick up, use, and throw aside. In their eyes, they see us as also being reusable. Beware young ladies because I don't think they would be good boyfriends for you if they only wanted you for your assets.

Don't take this personal, although I made sure I sent a link to all the boys in my contact list, please don't take this personal. I'm just a girl who doesn't like to be touched in certain ways.

I'm making this my final warning. I know that some girls like what some of you guys do, but I'M NOT ONE OF THEM. I respect myself, I respect you, and I would appreciate it if you showed me some respect as well. I am not afraid to use what God has blessed me with against anyone who attempts to touch me in anyway. Do not whisper in my ear. Don't even try to give me any chats because when I registered to this College, I did not sign up to any dating service. I, like many other girls, are out there to gain an education. Yo ovaz me?

I don't belong to you. Nothing on me is yours. I know us girls are very irresistible, but please don't break yuh back because it only shows how weak you are. All I'm asking for is just a little respect. That's all. RESPECT.......

You probably know this song but just listen to it ok sweety? *wink* Ah luv yuh still ana, but just that.......yea.


mmmwah!

Two hearts in the sand....just a picture

Woman found dead....

Yesterday I talked about the incident that took place in Prospect. Well here I am giving you a brief update of that story. Although what I heard did not come from the Radio or Television, these rumors tend to have some truth in them. The car that was buried when that massive wall broke away belonged to a lady who was best known for selling Barbecues on Indian Bay Beach, up until she moved her business to CSY, which is in Prospect. She is known by many as Aunty Pat, and she was found dead underneath all that rubble. From what I have heard she died instantly.

Can you imagine what took place in that split second? I try not to. It's so sad and I feel like crying, not because I know who she is but because it happened.

May her soul rest in peace.


Mood: Really under the weather.

("Somebody needs to pull up SVG's pants....we need to do better than this!"......read more in my next entry...written that is....)


*~*Fayt*~*

24hrs of rain! Move along like you don't get to!

Believe it or not, it has been raining here in S.V.G for a little more than 24hrs. The weather that we experience here is so extreme. It's either broiling sun or hours of non-stop rain. Whatever the weather you see we always complain. It's unfortunate to say that this rain has the potential to take lives. I don't know if you heard but a vehicle was buried under some dirt and debris that was loosened by the rain, in Prospect. If you live anywhere beyond Calliaqua or have traveled beyond that point recently you should be able to recall an enormous wall at a corner right at the entrance to Sun Sail. Yes that broke away. I doubt it's all cleared because the road I take to Calliaqua on a daily basis, is still a temporary main road. I hope whosoever is in that vehicle is still alive. (As much as it seems impossible right now for it's been more than 7hrs since)

The rain that poured on our umbrellas today, was nothing compared to the tears that fell from a few hearts, including mine. I feel as though I'm carrying the burden of others, while at the same time being a shoulder to lean on. Life's hard. I find it no better time to talk about something that I've been meaning to share with you, than now.

One day I asked myself: How do I get over someone I've had a crush on for so long?? After much thought I came up with this list of answers (for those of you who try).

1. Acceptance: You need to accept that you'd always 'love' him/her. That way you'd stop trying to stop 'loving' him/her. If you understand where I'm coming from, that is. Do you realize that when you channel so much energy towards not liking someone they are always on your mind, so you actually like them more or for longer? Get them off your mind!!! Besides if they don't 'love' you as much as you 'love' them then it's a waste of time. Do you think that they are stressing as much as you are?
2. Don't talk to them as much (if you're still friends and you can speak without giving them a few words that is.....lol...) The less time you talk, the more removed from that person you get. Communication breaks down then interest dies. Don't NOT talk to them. This would lead you to wonder how they're doing. Right then and there THEY ARE ON YOUR MIND!!!!
3. If you guys are not friends anymore, then something went real wrong, which means if sparks were ever to rekindle then it won't be worth it because one of you, if not both, would only be bringing anger towards the other person. It's not worth it...MOVE ON!!!!
4. The time you take feeling sorry for yourself you are missing out on BETTER opportunities. Plenty fish ina de sea (almost said 'car back' there....lol)

There are a lot more things that can be done but that all depends on the individual. Lucky for me I can sum up everything in just one word; maturity. It's something that comes not with age but with experience. in my opinion, the more mature teenage hearts get through these little silly things that come in their way of education easier.

I wish a certain individual was reading this. It appears as tho' some people are too caught up with their silly selves to notice the non-verbal communication that takes place, even if they don't know what that is. If a boy talks to a girl in a certain way that she doesn't like and she obviously screws up her face. What does that say??? (Maybe my screw-up face is cute...I don't think so!) Then this other no-manners, out-of-place one trying to lime me off. Some people smart. Honey, if you really needed the help you would've gotten it a long time ago. (He really thinks I'm stupid! Using this age old trick on me) There's a library with books, an Internet with web pages, and lots of Lower 6ers who are actually interested.

Mood: If I'm smiling then what does that mean?

A very pretty flower......

I took this picture after the rain.....I've got more on the way.....

These words are very random..........

I've always wanted to watch the sun set from my porch on a weekday but because on a daily basis I arrive home from school after the sun has left another comma on this island, I never get to see it. Today is basically my only chance and as I look out my window all I can see is clouds. I hate things that hide from me. Never there when I want/need them.

Anyhuz, tho' the sun provides lots of energy which is one of the reason's for our very existence, it's not all that interesting to talk about.

Once again I find myself seated uncomfortably on the picket fence. I can't say who has the greener grass for it's not worth it in the end. I'm being optimistic, for it's not worth losing a friend. (Tho' these days we can't seem to pin-point friends from professional actors). As I look ahead of me, there's no end to this fence, so it seems as tho' I'd be sitting here for quite sometime. Can someone get me a cushion at least?

Something doesn't feel right. I think I miss him. I miss summer. *tears* (lol) On another matter, from this day forth I'm going to put my foot down, or more like dem boys' hands. I need some personal space from now on. Hugs are fine, but, it's starting to get to me. They just want to be all over me every freakin' minute. Hey don't take this as an offence, just please respect what I'm saying. Respect it!!

Now that that's off my chest I can focus on funnier things. I was watching Best Week Ever today with Leona, and they were making fun of this little girl. Just look below.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so sorry for that little boy when he grows up. The poor boy going to be terrified in school. All the pickney goin' tease him. He'd be like the fat nerdy guy who nobody wants to be friends with (OMG that reminds me of someone in my school!!! LOL!!!) She better get lost by the time he starts to use the Internet because Youtube is not going anywhere soon.......LOL! *slurp* As to that little girl. She obviously does it very often. Children tend to repeat things that they see other people do. OMG!!! If she mek she mother and John McCain lose yuh hear. I suggest you watch that video again.

Putting all laughs aside that's just nasty!!!

Ciao. Oh and remember your saliva always gets the job done. LOL! *licks hands and smooths down my hair*

Poem: The Impossible Woman

Here's a little something I wrote. Hope yuh like it.

The Impossible Woman

Finds flaws in everything you do
Hardest person in the world to talk to.
Every mistake is like a life lost
Guilt must be carried for that being belonged to God First.


Fails to realise that perfection is accomplished by no man
Refuses to lower that powerful right hand.
Is never wrong because she is God.
Knows everything because she is God.


A perfectionist it seems, who does not take 'No' for an answer.
What she says goes.
She thinks that the world revolves around her.
Does she know that there is someone Greater?

I'll ask her to step down from her high alter
For the greater good of every other
Person that she might come across.
But that might result unfortunately

In me taking my last breath
Because she is me.


(Abnormal in every possible way so this definitely does not make me stronger. What you don't know hurts ME not you!!!)

Week 2 ends tonight.....

From the return of the planes to weird looking bicycles to 'top scholars' to something....let's see what makes this week so interesting....

Rumour has it that two very well known minibuses were racing sometime ago. How reckless is that? I would refer to these two vehicles as LIAT and Caribbean Star for obvious reasons. Now that Caribbean Star has returned from 'fixin up', ahhh aren't they happy?! One wonders if these pilots even care about the safety of their passengers. Why should they when people apparently like putting their lives in the hands of..........? Nevertheless they are very good drivers.

Beware. The black and white ants are out and about a lot these days so to those of you who simply refuse to wear your seat belts while travelling, 'buckle up or pay up'. While I'm on the topic, I remember seeing a policeman, directing traffic today. That must be a very exciting job indeed. I'm not hating eh, just that he was flingin' his hands all over the place. lol

This very tired individual has lost the writing mood and will now venture into the living room to be amused by a black box. I feel like there's more of me to love. It's not a very pretty feeling.

Congratulations to this year's top performers in the A'Level examinations. (The Js are on top) That's a really big standard to set for those who are next in line(us!!). The pressure increases thanks to their intelligence, not only from teachers and parents, but from the entire country. I just hope we can do as well next year. *sighs* The race continues and it's a really hard fight out there. The students performed very well this year but was it really a result of the education revolution?

Random Video below

One week just fly cross dey....yuh ain see it?

Time.....why does it g by so quickly? One week I was in Trinidad another week I'm in school…Aghhhh!!! Why?????!!!!! It seems as though the only thing that’s faster that time itself is light.

It’s the first week of school and it feels like vacation is just around the corner. In just two days the school would be overcrowded and I would have to fight for a seat in the library, empty classrooms would be like good cheap food around here and the tuck shop (I don't' go there anyway) is once again, going to be hot. Oooo I just can’t wait to have younger girls stare at me and speak about me like I was born ear-less….and the ‘bad eyes’ and push mouths. It’s going to be so much fun!!!!!! But like I said I hope I the library does not get too hot and that I can find space in there and erm yea……I should stop complaining….It won't be so bad...right?

I believe that there's a place where social ills go by unnoticed and not talked about, simply because nobody cares about the society, but only for themselves. I believe that there's a place where when children become pregnant everyone accepts it and shuts up. Meh sorry but that place is not SVG, yet. Sadly that's the direction we're heading.

When I see a pregnant young girl, I just want to cry. No no no don't get me wrong. Who cares about the mother. More than likely that child is going to grow up in an unstable home, which is probably the reason for their existence. Do you realize that a society lies in the hands of the family?

We see the effects of unstable families everyday. Every corner you turn there's a fight. Every road you walk you have to dodge bullets. Every store you enter you have to look over your shoulder and hold on to your hand bag (or wallet) for dear life afraid that what you or your parents worked so hard to earn may be taken away from you just like that. Every breathe you take you have to pray that your female friends and family members are safe from the 'raper man' who cannot be found. (That's something else I have to talk about on a serious note). Every step you take it's another youth who wants to have words with you, and no those are not words you would find in the Oxford Dictionary.

The family is the foundation of every society.

I'm tired of seeing so many young girls in such a state. I'm not going to ask how it happened, because I know how it happened. Did he leave you a little present or did he forget something when he paid you a visit? What a surprise that must have been.

I'll stop there for now.

Please note that what I'm about to say may not be the case. I'm only speaking out of anger and that's just the way things seemed to me at the time. It might just be that I'm being ignorant to some facts.

Sometime this week, while on my way to town and bobbing my head to Rihanna's Disturbia, the minibus in which I was travelling was pulled over by a policeman on his search to find part of his salary. I can only imagine the frustration he was experiencing as he fumbled to find a reason to give the minibus driver a case. Or could it be that he just couldn't find a way to put it in writing? After all, how long does it take to write ten words and a few numbers on four little lines? He stood behind the minibus in the broiling sun. What was he really writing on that insignificantly small piece of paper? I wondered if he knew that Laynes was closing in five minutes? Laynes dor wait on nobody ana!!! I took a moment to look for his needle in the haystack of possibilities, a van load ah people did that. Do you know what we came up with? *silence*

Laynes was properly closed by the time we moved off. Thanks officer :).....great job today. We love them anyway right? They help to maintain order in our society though some abuse their right. We still can't live a normal life without them. If a thief comes into your house who are you going to call? A doctor?

I baked cookies on Friday....they're all gone....oh and if you guys want chocolate chip cookies or a cake you could just place an order.....I'm serious ana....

Poem: 'Silent protector'

Live bait walks slowly through the darkness

Why won't anyone get her?

Is it her hair?

Is it her complexion?

Is it because they don't know her?

Non-ideal?

Wrong place?

Wrong time?

Or is she protected by the superior,

Who won't let anything satisfy her mind's desire

Because there's an alternative?

Time sips away and up ahead

Is the shadow of a figure

Who hides underneath the red skin.

Tall, slim and unaware of my presence.

Unafraid, it seems Of what just might be hidden in the darkness.

Could it be anything greater than what the world can't see?

She peers over her sholder every now and again,

But on her face I see no fear

She doesn't even know I'm here.

She doesn't even know that I followed her home,

Up this lonely road,

Just to make sure she was safe.

Maybe the superior sent me.
