#MusicMonday: The Saturdays - Ego

Vanessa, Una, Rochelle, Franki & Mollie of the Saturdays
have definitely got themselves a hit with their 2^nd single from their 2^nd album Wordshaker.



In the music video the girls all play a super heroine with distinct powers as they all slowly but surely get their revenge on the "superhero" [the star of the show] after going solo & ditching the girls to the side leaving the group distraught & disbanded as they sing how much he [the significant other in the relationship] has took for granted them and all the things they have done for him.
EGO took over.

Egocentric thinking and actions - this song hits it right on the dot. Point blank.
Egoism is selfish is blind to how much people actually do and care for you.
This song hits home so HARD for me relationship-wise & friendship-wise because both are the reasons for breakups and loss friends. I swear this is my song besides the fact its sung by females.
This song are my sentiments exactly.
I live these lyrics
I cosign w/ this song 100!

Banana Chips

BANANA CHIPS! So Thursday morning after paying my tuition and getting my books for next semester, I go to McDonald's to get some food. They hadn't started their lunch menu yet so I went over to Fresh & Easy
[a new & local supermarket in CA, AZ & NV that provides the freshest food at the cheapest prices]

This place is amazing. They had fresh fruit like oranges, bananas, berries, apples, etc. Organic stuff, healthy stuff and all that good stuff... like it just makes you feel like anything you get from that place is good for you.

Anyways, I was in this place for a good 15 mins before I was about to dipset [to McDonald's] then I saw BANANA CHIPS! I hadn't eaten BANANA CHIPS since like 4^th grade so clearly its been a while since I've had one of my favorite snacks. And for .89 cents I couldn't pass that up. So I bought a bag and finished it off w/ my McDonald's haha

It was a nice treat.

Nostalgic & couldn't honestly of been happier,

"Our friends need new friends"

Sup!
the bestfriend (Jessica) & I have been thinkin' after doing a lot of hanging out over this Winter Break w/ our friends, friends' friends and our own friend.
"Our friends need new friends."

OD [overdose] // stalkers // threats // drunk fights // hospitalizations //

shit talking on an epic scale // drinking & driving //

domestic abuse on a pregnant woman

This is just the kind of drama and friends' fake friends I've been around lately intermingled with real friends. I'm there for my friends 100,020,000% there's no doubt about that. And I've been there for my friends every step of the way thru thick & think and thru bullsh*t and drama but when "your circle of friends start to endanger my circle of life" we have a problem. "Our friends need new friends."

Basically watch not only your but your friend's circle of friends also ...because when they start negitively affecting you and yours CHANGE must be made.
[which I am in the process of doing]

#MusicMonday: Ruff Endz - No More

Yall remember this joint?

Ruff Endz - "NO MORE"

Ruff Endz were a R&B duo from B'more (Baltimore, Maryland).
& I'm telling you if you forgot this song - once the chorus hits you'll remember every word of it. This was my jam back int he day. Had no idea Ruff Endz made the song tho... or that this song is 10 years old (2000 hit single)
googled for lyrics, song and artist


"NO MORE shopping sprees, NO MORE late night creeps, NO MORE VIP's, NO MORE dough, We can't even kick it NO MORE"
feels good to be reunited wit an old school jam


2000 being considered old school?

Young Money - BEDROCK [Parody]

Young Money - BEDROCK
is the shit no doubt
"I-I-I can make yo BEDROCK girl"
especially since everyone sans SNL & maybe others got a verse on it

this parody though - HILARIOUS!
They got Weezy, Gudda, Minaj & Drake' verse in this parody.

"A-A-Are you from BEDROCK?"

Wayne... why he got bangs tho?
Gudda "I'm Barney Rubble, she Betty Rubble" haha
Nicki Minaj's verse had me weak but the whole song killed me!
Drake looked a mess (its the eyebrows) but Hey
FUNNY SHIT!

FEAR [inspired by Jazmine Sullivan]

One of my favorite songs
"Fear" by Jazmine Sullivan.

"This may sound silly but its true
So don't pretend it ain't you too
We're all afraid of something there
Cuz you ain't human without FEAR"

I believe "there's nothing to fear but fear itself." But since fear is something we manifest in our minds due to either a rational or irrational hysteria its hard to void on our own because of our individual rational or irrational selves.

Too heavy? Too deep?
Well its simple actually. But we make it up to be more than what it really is by personifying something that's not even real. I wish I could give you advice on how to conquer your fears but I've got some of my own.


3 Biggest FEARS:
I'm deathly pyrophobic.
[tell me fire doesn't burn and I won't fear it --- impossible]

Afraid of heights
[probably why I'm afraid of roller coasters haha]

Fear of not knowing what my future holds...
[I believe this is a loaded fear. Both a fear of time (the uncertain future) and not: knowing and being in control (the uncertainty).

I get really contemplative and start to wondering what my future holds for me. Like what's going to happen (in my life). With life there's no guarantee or guidebook to lead the way... in this journey called life. So when I really get to thinking about my future it truly does freak me out NOT knowing what is to become of me. If I'm doing the right thing? Making the right moves? etc. I overanalyze everything before I make a move and sometime I even think I kill myself over for that. [I'M DEFINITELY A THINKER] But before I kill myself in thought over analyzing life I stop and think...

"And if everything turns out
The way I hope it goes
Then I can't wait to find out
What it is that God knows" - Mutya Buena

Only God knows what's in store for me
So Imma just let his plan for me ride out


fears handed to God,

TLC always so so much personality in everything they do and this song set the Christmas season for me.

Its been 5 MONTHS...

It's officially been 5 MONTHS since I had my anaphylaxtic reaction.

To fill you all in 3 months ago I July 19, 2009 I had an anaphylaxtic reaction to KIX cereal in which I was rushed to the ER, almost died & spent the night in ICU until my release the next day.

Since then I have been going to doctors and an allergist where I got tested to see what I am allergic to & to find out what triggered/caused my anaphylaxtic reaction.

The results showed that
I'm ALLERGIC to:
Nuts & Oats,
NSAIDs [non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs]
(and clearly to stay away from them because the next reaction can be worse)

Since then life (foodwise) has SUCKED BIG TIME!


I CAN'T HAVE:
Cereal (most cereals) --- consists of OATS
Candy Bars --- most are made of PEANUTS
Snacks --- have both: NUTS & OATS
NO Oatmeal, NO Banana Nut Bread, NO Granola
NO Oatmeal Cookies or White Chocolate Macadamia Nut Coolies
[my favorite this allergy FML]
NO ibuphofen because its an NSAID.
NO Chick-fil-A --- chicken cooked in Peanut Oil.

I basically have to check the ingredient list of most of the foods I eat (especailly its it looks questionable having a potential to have OATS or NUTS) & I have to clear all OTC meds thru my allergist first to prevent another reaction.

I feel like I'm on a "Food Lockdown" [no Kanye haha]
I cant eat shxt without knowing whats in it... but hey that's my life and I'm living it! I'm living and that's all I can really be thankful for. Thank God!

Plus the fact that the commercial has the 3 dudes "working out" with the Shake Weight machine so close to each other.
