The Joy of Carnival....

So here I am at my desk at work when really I should be in Toronto with my friends preparing for what I anticipated to be the best Toronto Carnival ever!!!! Unfortunately or actually fortunately I had to hand over my headpiece in exchange for a new job I have taken on. But there is always a brighter side and to me that is Trinidad Carnival!!!

The excitement of Carnival is already in my blood and I am so excited to be here during band launchings. I yet to attend a band launching and would LOVE to go to Tribes tomorrow, since I am unable to attend personally I will take part through Saucy’s Blogg :). I definitely will be attending the launch of Ronnie and Caro so will report on that. Until then I look forward to waking up Sunday morning to see Tribes costumes!!! To my friends at home – jump up for me on the 2nd of August and hopefully you will join me on the road here in Trinidad for Carnival 2K9!!

Back to Reality.....

Ok so I have been here in Trini for a good four five months now and realized hmmmm what happened to the gym - I've become such a slacker :) and I smile bout it haha. Sure I was boxing for a bit there last month but the hours weren't working out for me so I did nothing until now, I finally joined a gym and just after two days I feel great!!!

The one thing I must say is that the gym very much impresses me with the TV screens on the treadmills and the wide arrange of classes not to mention the BOXING BAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Another thing I love is that back in Toronto Soca was played in my ear by me as I worked out and here it just blasts out of the loud speakers in the ceilings :) Today I took my first spinning class, to you guessed it SOCA, and I loved it!!!!

So here we go its May, 3 months to Caribana (yes I coming home to hit da road!!!! but just for a minute - can't miss great fete weekend) and so the countdown begins lets see how I can keep up in the gym for my costume....wish me luck : )

Some Time Has Passed Since I Last Blogg.....

Well a little time has passed sine I last blogg (like almost 6 months) but I am still around and have been having a time.

Since Miami Carnival I got on the grind and starting organizing myself to reach Trinidad for Christmas and once there I managed to stay for Carnival and till this day I yet to leave the beautiful islands of Trinidad and Tobago :)


So this is a little backwards for most as I find many only looking to run from trini to go foreign but for me I coming here to make a home. It has been interesting to say the least and I find myself settling in very well :) One thing I must say is that the people of Trinidad and Tobago are beautiful people inside and out. Everyone has been very welcoming to me and I only came across a few bad apples but I would directly relate that to the few months I worked bartending in town (nuff said - I am sure all understand lol)

I have now landed myself working for a local magazine here in Trinidad and am enjoying it very much as things are starting to take course. Working here is a little more lay back then I am used to considering that if I choose i could have a smoke or a drink at my desk (hell I could have both!!!) working all week and being able to hit up a good (crowded) party in the middle of the week is a normal thing here and nothing can beat being able to go lime on the beach on the weekend :)

My parents came down to visit after Carnival (btw I played with Ronnie and Caro and will post some pics soon) and I got the final approval to continue my life here on the islands (trust me if they didn't approve they would of drag me back on that plane with them) whoo hooo glad to see they take a liking to my rasta man :)

I will continue to post as the journey continues to keep my blogger family in the loop until we all bounce up in the next Carnival (for me that will be August as I taking a trip home to visit my friends and play mas - but I quick one as August here also has Great Fete Weekend which I do not want to miss) Thanks to everyone for the support and the encouraging words and if you see me on the streets of Trini (since I stick out just a tad) make sure to call me out.

Till next time I blogg take care..........
