So I do have to give the BG props, or maybe I should say the Europeans in general. There music sounds is truly like no other, and they are so eclectic. Now usually there are specific shows that cater to a specific styleof music. And while you may have shows like the former Total Request Live (MTV) those shows tend to really only cover pop music. Songs that are on the billboard charts.

While I must admit, at times it seems like the redundancy of Ciara's Love, Sex and Magic, or T.I.'s Dead and Gone is gonna make me slit a wrist, the music channels do play a wide variety of music styles.

For example, I came across this lil gem, Agnes. This song is fire (hey Alex). I got put on to some rock jams too (uumm Kings of Leon). There is also another spanish song, tu cafe. Thats a banga...

The other groups, on the scene right now are good ones too. N-Dubz, Tinchy Strider. They all use kinda techno beats but the lyrics are cool and the sound is something you can move to. My new joint is "Too Many Men" this song is hilarious.....

I know im missin a lot of music in the states. The Dream is everywhere, Fabolous seems to be back on the scene and a couple of new faces on the come up, Drake.

But for now, Europe's eclectic music tastes trumps what they got goin on in the states....

ME in my bathing suit

So I never thought Id EVER see the day, when I wore a bathing suit. Esp a bikini. I decided to just get it over with tho. I wore a cute black dress to the beach and when I got there, I covered myself with a sarong so I could play in the water and not have people stare at my fat. I lounged in a beach chair, and since you look thin when you lay flat, I decided to take the sarong off...Take a deep breath.....



In the dark...hahahaha

Not so bad....
Close up of the bathing suit

The best for last...Im glad this was taken whil eI was lying flat. I love that cameras can make you look so much better than you really do. And believe me, I was suckin in my stomach a whole lot for this pic....LOL I look thick as hell tho...go ME~

June is for STARS

Well Well Well, that special time of year is upon us folks, yep you guessed it MY BIRTHDAY. The most glorious day that brought about the birth of the great one, Lady Sha Sha herself, or Shantay to most of you. It is said that the heavens parted, and she descended upon Earth wraps in the softest of silks, with a white light about her. She was given to a man and women to call their daughter and blessed this world with her beauty and wit.

Now I dont know where this came from, or who said this, but damnit they hit the nail on the head!

Anyway, Ive decided that since my birthday is coming up June 16 (for those who are in the dark) I should post some old pics of me, and share some fun facts about my self that will interest you. Ill be featuring pics from my college years, up til recently, and be sharing things about my childhood and other facts that I know you all are dying to read about.

Let the festivities begin bitches!!!!!

Oh and because I do believe that June is for stars, Id like to shout out all the Gemini's (hey EZ) and June babies including my big sis (June 10) and my other mom (June 21). If you have a b-day in June list your date so I can shout you out to, cuz your almost as important as me!

Believe in you!

BG Remix

I posted a vid of this girl singing a Rihanna song a while back. Well she struck again. For the senior celebration she sang Listen by Beyonce and I must say, homegirl can really blow....she also sang a Duffy song, but it takes too long to uplaod the vids so just enjoy this one!

Out of Hiding

Its been a hot minute since I been clubbin in Sofia. We just came off a break, and I actually stayed home the whole break. I decided to come out of hiding and show my lovely face to the world in this cute lil number. I didnt want to overwhelm folk with a tight dress get-up, so I opted for some skinny jeans, and this cute lil top. I was poppin tags with the whole outfit (just thought you should know) and I had to complete the look with a black 3/4 sleeve jacket and my pumps. Red toes and a red clutch completed the look.

*I know you wish you were me*

The good folks

So Ill just take a sec to recognize the Bulgarians who are just so wonderful. They joke with me, they invite me places, and they are just so nice and caring.
Vanya-works in my school. She is so adorable. She is an older woman and I go and talk to her often about all sorts of things. During the spring break, I came to the school to see her. She walked to the stored to help me buy the yellow ribbon for my apt, and bought me some ice-cream cuz it was nice that day. I've been over to her house once and she made a ovely dinner for me. She is the epitome of a loving grandma I would say, and she makes me feel extra welcome. She squeezes or smacks by booty from time to time and it would be awkward if it were anyone else, but she is extra cool.
Im not gonna go person by person, but I would just like to put in the atmosphere that there are really NICE and DECENT people who live in Pernik and they treat me like a very dear friend or a family member.

Lightbulb flashing....

So amidst the snow fallin to the ground and it being fairly cold yesterday and today, my brain was still workin at its normal high speed capacity! I came up with the VERY BRIGHT idea of possibly doing a SCIENCE FAIR!

I know you all remember having a science fair at your school. Making a replica volcano and making it erupt by mixing baking soda and ....well anyway, you know what I mean. I figured it would be so cute to do something like that. I want to colaborate with the science teachers and hopefully we could make it happen.

I think its a marvelous idea! Lets see if I can manuever this.....

This is why I'M hot....

So lookey what we have here. Just when I thought I hated working here, wanted to beat my students down, talked shit about the bulgarians, cursed my town, and swore Id never return after my service was up, I get this email from my director:

"Actually I wanted to have a chat with you at some point but unfortunately I was facilitating the training in hall Europa, which was in the other building and it interfered with my plan. I hope you were able to work well with your colleague during the workshop. I had a chance to hear from her at the focus group session with Bg partners on Friday. On behalf of your school she spoke highly appreciative of you highlighting your positive attitude and natural way of interaction with students and colleagues. She mentioned the positive influence you have over students and colleagues in terms of using cretivity in your teaching."

Now aint this something?!?! When I saw this part of the email you know I almost started dancing the jig! What wonderful things she MUST have said about me. Im truly touched. This jsut makes me actually want to do more for the school (like get them new laptops for a portable computer lab).

Eat your hearts out!
