Life is too short to hold onto the bs that people and the world tosses at you! Just dust the dirt off and keep going!

Hmmm I doubt I would pay that much for a jacket!

Adele do not be a dummy in love learn from the death of Michael Jackson & Whitney Houston

RIP to the two greatest singers of all time. There is no one in the music game that has the gift of touching people's hearts with the gift that God blessed them with.
I find it so weird that both of their deaths happened before a big award show maybe I'm just over thinking but I personally think that everything happens for a reason and other times things are set up.

I read this morning that the talented Adele is taking a 5year break from music for love. Hmmm...let me just say that I understand that love is a great thing and feeling, but hasn't the death of MJ and WH taught you that life is too short and you should live for the moment. She was the talk of the Grammys so this is the time to get a whole lot of tunes out there and make as much money while you are hot and your name is buzzing! You can do your job and still be in love. The media is still going to bother you cause your name is already out there. Don't be a dummy in love.

MWAH!!

The way of LOVE!

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

The Way of Love

⁴  Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant ⁵ or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; ⁶ it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. ⁷ Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

⁸ Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.

MWAH!!

It's Valentine's Day...SO WHAT!?

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Personally I see the 14th February as another day to be with the people that I love and cherish. And I'm happy that this year I actually have someone that I love who I call my partner in crime (no name needed), but for some strange reason I haven't fallen into the cliche of the great valentine's day. I think its because I'm at a mature age and I don't have nothing to prove to anyone because as long as I'm happy where I am then nothing else matters.

Message to my ladies
If you have a good man who shows his love for you 24/7 then hold on to him and celebrate today if you really want to but don't feel like you have to celebrate it because everyone else is.
On the other hand I heard a girl on the train yesterday saying that her man is a prick because he said that he doesn't celebrate valentine's day, all I have to say is it doesn't hurt to buy a 99p rose. And also if your man can not treat you like the princess that you are then why are you still with him and why are you moaning to your single yet happy work friend?
Single ladies please do not feel down toady or sorry for yourself just romance yourself because apart from God who else can love you like you do.

Message to my dudes
If you honestly don't celebrate valentine's day because its not your style or because you always show your girlfriend love and affection then just let her know that its not your thing and you don't feel the need to follow society. But DO NOT be fake about it because I've heard guys say things like that and the truth is that they just don't want to spend any money. And to be honest its not too expensive 99p card, 99p rose, 99p chocolate and if you really really love her 5.99 teddy bear that's hardly breaking the bank is it now.

MWAH!!
