Jamaica (1)

Monday 14th December, was the lucky day.. We were off to spend four weeks in the sun away from the cold, and the stress that Britain brings. It truly was exciting knowing that we were getting away from it all. Arrival there was crazy as the immigration officers (like always) are rude and can really make your arrival to Jamaica an annoying one before the holiday has even begun. Below are a few pictures from the holiday that I dare to share with you the others will remain personal to me until you hack my laptop (iJoke).

Yes, I went shopping today, whilst on my travels I went to HMV and bought this. Please believe it when I say I do not go out and buy albums, I was due to buy this album on it's debut release date last Monday 12th October, Unfortunately I didn't get round to it.. So today was the day I managed it (A week later).

I'm back!

Yes, I'm finally BACK! I've just been really busy with work and college, so much so I barely have much time for myself these days, but I've taken the time out tonight to update this blog. It's been over a month since I last posted any updates on the life of Shanai. A-Level results were appalling but better than I might have expected due to the amount of things I had going on for me at the time. No excuses though, you get out of life what you put in. The results then, were: CDDD - "Terrible I know!" Though I'm not going to dwell, just better it. Since September I opted for a change. I embarked on a regime that would better my life in the long run. The change entailed me deleting facebook, no longer going on msn, not answering my phone within the week, completely dedicating myself to college over work and intensive revision. It's tiring, but I'm coping well. The reason behind such a regime is because I DO NOT by any means want to be in college resitting exams for a third year or even be in Manchester at all.
I am opting for London to go Uni or near about - That's the only motivation for me right now! On the subject of London then, I didn't end up going to London Carnival 09' which I can't believe I'm even typing because it was something I looked forward to for months. The reason being was just because I felt for me at the time the vibe that I wanted wouldn't have been there and due to this simple and pathetic excuse I didn't go. No worries though Next year I'll be there by hell or high water! A major plus side to going next year is that I'll be EIGHTEEN so I can go to the after party's and so on.. It should be a day(s)/night(s) to remember!
What else has been going on: Nothing much, just College, work, home and shopping basically sums up the last month. I don't go out that much because I despise of Manchester, and that's me being pleasant. London is the place for me. Ask anyone all I talk about is how much I love London. Speaking of London then, I'm scheduled a visit to the Capital next week, that's five days to go. That's the 16th October 2009 (also the day I get paid) "Hoot Hoot" Can't wait! Then another visit on the 29th October, It's a cause to celebrate, and let off a party popper. Just Kidding. "LONDON HERE I COME BABY" x

Be back within the week.
