LISBOA 2009!!!!!
I have just come back from an 8 day holiday in Portugal with Miss Rachie-Pie @ Leopard Print and Lace, and Miss Hood and Proper! It was soooooo much fun!!! Just being out of London and being somewhere totally different was just amazing! I did think that NY was one of my favourite Holidays, but because it was so similar to London means that i didnt really experience anything 'new'!! Like Morocco and Nigeria, Portugal has lovely weather, beaches, culture, food and people!! and I hope that i'll get to visit there again soon!! It was also a cheap place (cheaper than LDN anyway) to live!! As per usual I over spent, on food and clothes, which means there were numerous trips to a Millenium cashpoint!!!
Aaaaaaaah Lisboa!!

New York Part 2
I'm still a bit jet lagged from my week of gallivanting around the Big Apple!! But without being back 2 minutes, I'm already planning on going back in the summer! :)
My girl Zay outside our hotel!!
First, our hotel was surprisingly nice!! two double beds, en suite bathroom, TV and heating (which was definitely needed). Plus rides in Papi Chulo's Escalade, when we couldn't be fussed to take the train to Manhattan
So beyond shopping and sitting in damn Shisha bars for hours on end, me and the rest of the crew also got around to some other stuff!! One being a night when we watched some stand-up comedians at the East Ville Comedy Club.
This is a pic with us and the comedians outside the club, Dan Soder standing on the far left, was by far the funniest, and cutest!! (yes really!! the pictures don't do him justice!lol!)

That night for me was one of the funnest things we did on the trip!! to bad we couldn't visit there on our last night :(! I was really looking forward to it, but guess what, majority rules!! So guess what beat out a fun night of laughs......THAT DAMN SHISHA!!Hopefully, when I go back to NYC, I'll be able to catch another show :)
Anywho, besides being picked off one by one by each comedian!! Who at one point got on my case about how I spoke to him, saying something about it being very 'black', and laced with 'attitude'! We also went to the famous Webster Hall, which i didn't realise was such a big deal until after we'd been there! It's basically a 4 floor club with different types of music in each room, and obviously me and the girls were Hip Hoppin it all night long, for a steep $25, but it was worth it!!

I bet you're thinking, Who is this guy? and what the fudge is he wearing!!
Well his name is Masahiro (Masa) Ito! We met him on two occasions while in NY, and @ first i was thinking, who the hell is this dude? On our trip we met a few 'nice' people, but me being so paranoid and pessimistic, I was always trying to think of what ulterior motive they may have had, but Masa just seemed to be a nice guy! Whilst eating in Majestics, opposite Applebees in Times Square, this random dude approached us and just struck up some converstaion, he was both sweet and intelligent, and I slowly realised there was nothing sinister about him. He is an artist/designer/sculpturoror(how in gods name do u spell it!). During our next meeting he gave us all a pair of feather earrings that he made, from feathers he got from Amerindians living in Montana......the stories he told were quite long but interesting, it was obvious he has lived an interesting life.

New York Part 1!
So I'm back from my week long trip in New York, and i already want to go back! 7 days was not nearly long enough to do and see everything, hopefully I'll be going back in the summer!!
So because it's 3 in the morning, and my jet lag is starting 2 wear off, i'll just briefly tell you some off the stuff me and my pals got up to, bar the minimal funds, and M.I.A luggage, New York was an experience to remember!
From a dead animal wearing Japanese Artist, to a balding Puerto Rican comedian who was deceptively youthful-looking , to a 'we're not Moroccan, extremely aggressive, so much so i wanted 2 spit in his face' husband and wife gangster tag team.
As well as sitting in a shisha, sorry 'Hookah' bar for a record 7hrs (i was pissed beyond belief!!!!) and watching the most dead horror film Friday the 13th, with the most live audience you could ever hear, to walking around East Village @ 4 in the morning because your 6 other friends all wanna smoke shisha but cant find the address, one word to describe that evening/morning, HYPOTHERMIA!!
These were just a few of the things we did and people we crossed paths with who definitely made an impact, mostly good!
I didn't do as much shopping as i hoped, which was kind of a bummer. You see travelling with quite a large group means 'compromise'! So hopefully if i go again in the summer, with a lot less people, then i'll be able to really do some damage.
Thankfully my girl Rach, showed up in time, and gave me and my friends the hook-up on where to go! 7 girls in Forever 21 for 3 HOURS! must be a record! My usual purchases consisted of a few 'Yinka staples', Cardigans, t's, hoodies, etc. But the main purpose of the trip for 4 of my friends was to get some trainers for some great prices! And i think between us we bought about 13 pairs! Yes you heard correctly US! Yinka did indeed purchase a pair of Nike high top,dunk thingy's! Not quite sure what the official name is for them (help me out Rach!) Anyway i originally wanted a simple pair, one i could wear with anything, maybe white with a dash of colour. Then slowly after my girlies around me stacked up on their 'Kicks', i realised that i was not going to find anyhting i really liked and would probably wait till i got back to LDN! That was until while shopping in Urban Outfitters i found a purple and orange pair for $39.99, roughly £28.00!
I quite like them actually, although they make my foot look even more gigantic than they already are, and starting to think i should have got a 7 instead of a 7.5. They might have been a tight squeeze, but probably would have made me look a little more dainty, ok who am i kidding! so although i have to get used to them, i still think it was quite a good deal considering what some of my mates spent on these bloomin' things!
Ok i'm dead now, i'll continue this another time!

September 22nd!
So this year has gone by very quickly so far! one reason for me feeling this way is that i have already reached my 21st birthday today! (happy birthday 2 me!!), its also the autumn equinox, on this exact day every year, so I'm feeling very spiritual and one with myself today, autumn is my favourite season, and it gave me great pleasure 2 c as i was strolling past Victoria park today, that the autumn leaves have begun to fall, and a see of brown leaves r beginning 2 cover the green grass.
So no big extravagant celebration 2day, anyone who knows me, knows i cant take a lot of fuss being made, although an unexpected surprise did occur @ work 2day! the grazing crew did spring a fast 1, by turning of the kitchen lights, & all begun singing a chorus of Happy Birthday, whilst placing a nice choc cake in front of me!! first thought was omg, try n look really genuine n grateful, cos although i am inside, my face often doesn't convey those feelings, so a few 'awwws', n 'u guys', helped me in that area, secondly i couldn't help but laugh inside at how many time in one year i had actually had this exact same cake, which was obviously from tesco!! mums b day, bruvs b day! n now mine!!
My summer filled with work, work, and more work! as well as the odd holiday of 2 Nigeria and Morocco!! but just as i have been getting back into the swing of things at work, now is the time 2 get ready 2 go back 2 good ol' uni!!! *sighs* back to juggling,lectures, seminars, assignments, work, and squeezing in a social life, seems tiresome, and I'm starting to reallllly look forward 2 the day when i no longer have 2 study and can just earn money, 2 go travelling n stuff!!
A yearly tradition that i always seem to engage in is riding my bike around autumn time, the light,cool breeze and the space of time between the holidays ending and uni starting makes me want to just ride around east London!! but since my bruv broke my bike last year, and his one is now chained outside our flat, with no one knowing where the key is means that the week after nxt (when i get my student monies) i will purchase myself a brand new bike. cant wait!!!!
oooh!! and Only By The Night is out 2day!!!
