The Reality Of Trinidad at My Front Door.... Literally

So Im getting my after school (yes the sh!t has started already!!) relax on, watching music videos and I get a knock on my door. My neighbours come in crying asking to use the phone. Im thinking the worst things possible...

While I was watching some R. Kelly, not ten feet away they were held up at knife point and relieved of their money, jewellery, cell phones and even a digital camera. There were so many what if's running through my head. We all came home at the same time... its just that they live in a different apartment from me. If I had lingered....

This place is out of control.

But its not a reason for anyone to worry about me. Im going to be SUPER careful from now on. I dont even pretend to play Super Woman here. As soon as its dark my butt is in my house and EVERY door locked and every window shut. And I have my dogs.

The thing about today was it was broad daylight.

Anyways, I thank God that it was just material things and a slight sense of safety taken. The scenario could have played out too many ways. And thank God I continue to be safe in this country where no one is spared.

Just 10 more months....

Vacation in Review
'Last Night' honours were bestowed upon the Poster X:) and what a capable set of shoulders to lean on and hide behind during the scary parts of The Village. My! how they grow up.

Well my bags are almost packed and its still storming outside. Well if anything happens I hope my body falls in Bajan waters... you know how these Trinis are with their murky sea.

This vacation was a lesson in humility. Apparently I had crossed some unseen line of weight gain where its no longer attractive. I got a lesson in invisibility.

It's good to know that I can live without male attention.

Its not to say that Ive stopped obsessing (obviously) but weight gain and subsequent unattractiveness arent the end of the world.
I needed to get out of the comfort zone that MUT created for me... I needed that reality check. Maybe now I can get my a$$ to the gym. This is going to be sooo hard... sigh.

I had a nice time. I didnt get to chillwith the girlies as much as I would have liked to, but it was made up for with loads of family time. I enjoyed spending time with Kosi Beans...even if he doesnt like his aunty and baby Aza is a real doll.

Now its back to real life again. Where I have some modicum of control over my so called life. I cant wait to sleep all day.... watch real MTV... have the house to myself...

I wonder how long it's going to take for me to wish I was back in Bim again.

I cant help this sense of foreboding. Im such a worrier.

I hope I can weather this personal storm.

Let's pray for good weather and safe flights in the journey of life.

Tomorrow i leave come hell or high water. The ticket is in hand. I wish things were different here but I can feel my welcome sorely worn out.

C'est la vie.

Im so over it.

Down Memory Lane

I went to Mr. and Ms. BDF tonight. It was so cool to be back at St. Ann's Fort. So many memories. I loved being a cadet. It was like a little world independent of everything else going on.
The pageant was cool too. There were so many moments I was thanking God for the male physique. There was one fella in a black speedo hot shorts number...... oh my. He is definitely going to fuel some dreams tonight. A body like that should be illegal. There are no words to describe.... wow.


Then there was the lime. Govie amidst the ladies as per usual. It was good to see the ex before I left. Lord knows when I'll see him again.


I have to admit that being so close to 'The Couch' was very mildly disturbing and shea had to remind me about Caribana....but i got over it promptly.

life is good
i really cant complain
