Well I am safe in Margarita.

My bf came to pick me up this morning and we went to the airport. Rain was falling heavily.
However the flight left on time.
We arrived in half an hour.
The school came to pick us up and brought us to our families.

I am staying with a very nice couple. They dont have any children which is great.
The second thing they told me is about the internet.
I was so relieved because I thought I would have had to find an internet cafe.
We went to a mall and then we came home. I am trying to talk to my boyfriend but he is not in front of the computer now and I cant call him.

Ah well.............

I wasnt supposed to be here for my boyfriend's birthday but Fate stepped in, so here I am.

SImple enough day.

We went to lunch at our favourite restaurant, then we went home and slept.

It was a nice sleep.

So I am off for a week. I dont know if I will be able to update from my location but I will try very hard.

¡Adiós! ¡Chao!

I was SUPPOSED to get up early to go in the bank early, but that didnt happen. I'm just not an early morning person.
I left home at 10 am instead and went to the bank. Since today was pay day, it was full, but not packed. I then went to obtain some US. An old man tried to rush me yes. But I wasnt his only victim. He tried to rush another man, who told him "Maximus Dan said "ORDA!" LOL!

I went to buy my Lomotil and Gravol. I hope I wont need it, but I know myself.
:s

I bought a piece of fried flying fish today. Well THAT was good. The batter that they fried it in was tasty! That lunch was the best yes.

I bought Goblet of Fire to read before the movie is released. YEEHAW! I am so excited.
The release of Half Blood Prince AND the movie in ONE year??
Rowling knows how to keep us hooked.

:)

I spoke to my best friend yesterday and I realise that she is changing.

She tells me all the time that she is OK, but I know she's just trying to hide the pain.

The pain of a 6 year relationship ending without any warning
Can you imagine that?
After 6 years, he just goes with someone else. Someone he just met.
He finds someone he just met more interesting than someone he has known for 6 years.

*sigh*

I hope she gets better soon.....I miss our talks.

I am almost packed and ready to go!!!

YIPPEE!!!!!!!!!

This morning was interesting on TS I must say.

All this discourse for an internet forum. I mean...really.

I love TS. I go there every day. I have learnt so much from that forum.
But some people just spoil the niceness.

*sigh*

So TSTT send a voucher in the mail where you can get $10 off of your internet or land line phone bill. Yesterday I went into TSTT to pay my bill, and I asked the CSR if I could use the vocuher here. He said no.
Now I know he isnt the one to be mean with, so I held my tongue, but WHY cant I use a voucher that TSTT sent to me in a TSTT BRANCH???

What is the purpose??

No really....what is the purpose?

I went for my massage and pedicure today.

The message was great!
The pedicure was......meh............

My feet look as if I painted them.

*sigh*

I really need to start sleeping on my bed, but I have such a need to establish space that I have sacrificed comfort.

I went to meet my bf so that we could go to the dentist's appt on time. We had a lil tiff but that was resolved a lil while after. heh heh heh
We are having so much fun together these days, it's great! I love the rapport we have.

Then I came home.

This morning I didnt want to get up, but I had to.

I went into school and probably wasted 2 hours. Some boys are lazy yes.

Then I came home and cooked. I havent done that in a while.
I followed a recipe that a friend gave me plus a few embellishments of my own and I must say that it came out great.
I find myself not cooking rice these days. I eat sweet potatoes and potatoes as a substitute.

I overslept and rushed down for the meeting at school. It was cool and we got some things done.

Now I am at home and I pray that when I push in my bank card tomorrow, that I have gotten paid.

:s

I didnt do all the things that I set out to do today.

I just went into couch potato mode.

My mother called and she wasnt listening to the more serious stuff I was talking to her about.
steups...i dunno if it makes any sense saying anything.

I think the next time she calls I am going to bombard her with personal stuff. Just to see how she reacts.

Whenever I talk to her, I feel down yuh know.....

ah well.............

I really enjoyed this weekend yes. It was so nice and sweet and special.

We didnt do anything out of the ordinary. We just limed and that was cool.

:D

So the niceness continues.

My boyfriend bought me an African outfit. A lovely red and green outfit.

I absolutely love it!!

I cant wait to wear it out!!

I dont know what I did to deserve all this, but I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!

:D

Yesterday was a bad day. I woke up with one of the worst headaches I have ever had.
It lasted from 10am to 3pm, so needless to say, my day was shot to hell.

I still managed to go to the Emancipation lecture last night. It wasnt as good as the others, but it was worth a listen anyway.

I went to work yesterday. Can you believe that?

It was more or less productive. I went to the mall and I made plans for a a day of beauty next week.

Last night I was feeling real miserable about some decisions I have to make and the outcome. I wish things were normal yes, but as my bf rightly pointed out..things change.
Plain and simple.

It doesnt make me feel any better, but in my heart I feel this is the way for me to go.

I feel heavy. I feel as if I cant just be me.

I think it's time for me to branch out on my own. But I dont know how my mother will feel about it. The aim is always to have an amicable relationship with my family, but I think that after certain events, it wont be possible.

I just want my space. How hard is that to understand, yuh know?

Yesterday was a very productive day in town. I made some steps that I was putting off for a long time now.

The cool thing about yesterday was I was just about to go to Excellent City to get some food to eat and I saw my bf. hee hee. We were supposed to hook up anyway.

Yesterday was nice.

I put myself on a self imposed exile to read the Half Blood Prince just to save myself from seeing any spoilers. But I finished yesterday. YAY!!!

I wont put any spoilers but I think I am entitled to put my opinion:

Rowling has once again put forth a good book, but what I found was that she spent so much time setting the stage, that when the action finally came it was over in a jiffy. She used a very naughty word and I am surprised she did considering it's a children's book, but I like it!
My favourite book by far is Order of the Phoenix.

As I continue reading these books, I just feel like Harry is being punished by the universe. I mean...I MEAN!!!!! JEEZAN!!!

It was a good read nevertheless and I would recommend it to anyone for their vacation reading.

I got up to use the bathroom at about 120 am. All of a sudden, I hear my name being called. I thought it was my brother. But it didnt sound like his voice, so I turn on lights one time. I get frighten.
Then the person identified himself: my bf :s
I was so surprised. He was so tired from the long day we had that he was the LAST person I was expecting to call.
So I go to the door and notice that he has a serious look on his face. I got worried because I thought something serious had happened.

I was sleeping so while he went to "lock the car" (lie), I went to freshen up because I was sleeping before. He managed to sneak the book inside. So I asked him what happened. He gave me a lil preamble about how he enjoyed our outing yesterday and that I bring magic into his life. Lo and behold he pulls out............
Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince!!!!!!!!

I was so surprised, I cried! I was expecting to collect my copy from my friend who was coming down from England .
I really enjoyed that surprise.


But between you and me, I thought he was going to propose..........
hee hee.

Today was the finale of Earl Lovelace Week.
The plan for today was the Writer's Route. This was basically a tour of where Earl Lovelace grew up and lived.

I arrived at 10am, thinking I might have met the buses loading. I was relieved to see people milling around, but a lil concerned as I could not see my bf. Luckily he came about 10 mins later.

Let's put it this way: The buses were SUPPOSED to leave at 10am; they left at 12:30pm.

The route was scenic.
We stopped off by Earl Lovelace's house that he built himself.
Then while we were going to Toco, we heard readings from 3 of his books. Interesting stuff. I need to purchase "Schoolmaster"
Then we stopped in Toco for Mr Lovelace to receive a spiritual welcome from a group of Baptists.
Finally we arrived at Monty's guesthouse, where we were treated to fish broth and oil down, both of which were yummy!
After a lot of hiccups we finally left at 5:15 pm and I got home at 8:05pm.

It was an interesting day.
Earl Lovelace doesnt look like 70 at all!




aye baby............


bubble bubble this this

MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!
:p

Thanks for taking our quiz. You answered 77% of the questions correctly.
You are a Hogwarts professor. Good work! Hop on your broomstick and take a victory lap around the block.

YES!!!

Just in time too.
Half Blood Prince comes out tomorrow!!!!!!!!!!

This morning around 5am, I was really scared. The wind started to blow really intensely and I was a lil afraid that something might happen.

But envetually the winds died down.

Things were quiet in this area today and I was glad.

I was supposed to go to a lecture today but I dont think venturing into POS at night is a good idea.

Always follow your mind.

When I heard about the hurricane watch, I said to myself that I should go to the grocery to get some stocks. Then I changed my mind and said, nah. I'll go to school first then go to the grocery.
By 12:20pm, we got the notice that all places of business should close by 12:30. One time I knew I was in shit street.

Luckily, a co worker of mine was in a similar boat so we went on the hunt for a free-ish looking grocery. We found one in St Augustine.

But I had to travel home with all the load. *sigh*
But at least I have everything I need.

Just came back from the play at the LRC. It was GREAT!
The play made some serious statements about one's own self-perception, views on race and money, love.....fantastic.

The best part if it was it was FREE. The LRC was PACKED to capacity. It was great to see the turn out of the public. I hope it continues like that.

Today was a very scary thing. In my mind, things like explosions and bombs happened elsewhere, NOT here.

I think when next I go into POS, I will be wary of any dustbin I walk past.

Scary stuff.

I am feeling so lazy.
The vacation is here and all I want to do is SLEEP!

My mother called to find out if I cooked. That's all she calls and asks. And I am tired of it.
I will just give him some money and say fix yuh f***ing mix.

I going to work whole day, he's home all day and i have to come home and cook for HIM??
That is BULLSHIT!

I frigging FED UP!

But just now this will be all over............

Work- I will truly say that I love my job. There are some days that I go home and I am fulfilled. Then there are some days I wonder if I deserve my salary. I try with some classes, I can say this with a clear conscience, but my methods just didnt work.

Admin SUCKS!! But the VP is trying his best to change that and I truly appreciate that. It makes things just a lil bit easier.

This academic year 2005-2006 will be my fifth year teaching. When those fifth formers get their results, I need to make my ten year plan. There are lots of things that interest me, but will they make me more marketable?
*sigh*

Relationship- Things are at a really GREAT point right now. I just enjoy being around my boyfriend so much. He always makes me laugh. Some of the things that he does irritates me, but between you and me, if he evers stops doing them, I'll miss them.

He's my strong support in tough times. I have seen this over and over. He never wavers in his support for me and I am so grateful for that.
This is the man with whom I would like to spend the rest of my life. I have no doubts about that.

*more updates soon*

A member of staff is leaving and I am truly going to miss her. She has been there since the beginning and now she's not there anymore.

:(

A good friend of mine, best friend of mine who lives in the States, said that she told someone that she is Caribbean. She lived here for 16 years and calls herself Caribbean. I corrected her and said that she is a Trinidadian. She corrected me and said that she is Trini-American (she is a US citizen). STEUPS!!!!!!!!

What the ass is that?

SOME Trinis when they go away get some weird ideas in their heads yes.

Today I got as many papers marked as I could. BOY was that a lot of work.

I stupidly agreed to register form ones tomorrow.
Damn.........I should have said no.......... but you must help put every once in a while.


My bf and I were talking about my academic future. What a tense convo. I felt like I was talking to my parent! But I know that he was asking me those hard hitting questions for me to figure out what I want to do, because I have a VERY bad habit of being indecisive.

I was going through a rough patch on Saturday and my bf was so supportive. He let me cry and rant and rave....... I needed that. Such a sweetie eh.

I just came back from a dental surgeon to get a consultation about my wisdom teeth.
$6900 just to take out 4 teeth???

I really dont need an expense like that right now nah. Things are coming up for which I need money.

I wonder if I can only take out two.

Just came back from a lecture. Very interesting stuff I must say.

Yesterday in school was a normal day. Too tired to write anything right now.

This situation with Terry MacMillan is one that interests me a lot.

"Sharing money made me feel that we were truly married." -Horse, yuh wasnt making any in the first place.

"She often felt like my mother more than my wife." - Well, she was 23 years older than you. She could actually be your mother. She had to ask your parents' permission to take you to the States.

I cant believe she has to pay him $2000 a mnth. STEUPS.

I got some news that really rocked my world this morning.
Life as I know it is going to change drastically for me.
I am heading into something that I know nothing about. But I am looking forward to the changes, the adventure. And I have a wonderful partner at my side to make it a lot easier.

:)

Well, water came back Wednesday night and left Thursday morning. I was very upset.

I made it to school on time on Thursday, only to be told that I have an exam supervision, and papers were just dumped in my hand. I have no problem with supervising, but a lil more tact will make it easier.

Current went in the morning and luckily enough we were dismissed by 12. We went and limed by a co worker. I then made my way to the lecture in the library. I saw an old acquaintance, which was cool.

The lecture was really really good. I love leaving those lectures knowing something that I did not know before. Rubidiri Victor is FINE!!!!!!

My sweetie pie came and picked me up and we went for something to eat. At 10pm, you would expect Subway's line to be short. Oh No! It wasnt. SO we went to Quiznos. Luckily there was no one there..poor souls.

The 'Jumbo' was almost the same length as a Subway Sub. SO why call it a Jumbo?

The sandwich did its job, but it wasnt enjoyable.

Today was a day of liming. I spent lots of money and laughed my belly FULL!

What a great way to spend a Friday afternoon.
