Ok so I see you all writing and no one visiting my blogg anymore
:(
Guess it my fault, I sticking on the posts
So to recap on my year 2006 started off good for me – kind of like this year. Holidays were done and over and the countdown for Carnival was on!!! My 2006 Carnival experience was amazing!!! I managed to stay down in the Caribbeans for an entire month and spent my time between Barbados, Trinidad and Tobago – was really liking myself in Feb/March of 06
Well I reach home to good old cold Canada in mid march and was not happy – cold lick me hard since when my plane landed some construction caused me to be shuttled from one terminal to the other to get my luggage, I was unprepared and had to do this in my shorts – not a good welcome back!!!
Then was April - Kara I celebrate 4 birthdays in my family in April, my moms on the 8th, mom’s husband on the 15th, my big bros on the 25th and then me on the 30th!!!!
So that was April – them May, June, July and August hit – Canadian summer!!! Had my own apartment this year so I partied it up through these times and took in as much good weather as I could. Still stuck hard to my boxing throughout the summer and played recreational soccer in the evenings. Summer ends here with Toronto Carnival/Carabana – this year was a good one, can say I really had a time. Hit up fetes every night and stormed the parade on lakeshore with my bottle of black and white whisky from TnT :) Booked my ticket for Trinidad Carnival 2007 and not long after was the birth of my blogg!!!!
September/October things settled down and I finally decided that I wanted to fight – I have been boxing for 2 years now and never seriously though about getting competitive until now. My coach was thrilled, he has been trying to twist my arm from day one. Haven’t had my first fight yet but if I can get one in during the first part of next year I will be more then happy. People tell me all the time that I’m nuts – but trust me it doesn’t hurt all that bad getting knocked in the face LOL. One time I thought I got whiplash with Carlos. I’ll update my feelings on this issue after the first time some ko’s me :) Things have changed at work – for the better, but I’ve been super busy thus why you don’t all see me on a daily basis but I trying!!! I am sure this will pick up as Carnival gets even closer!!! 54 DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
November was just as busy as the previous months so I decided to cancel my Christmas vacation and take time off at the end of November. Holidays can be quiet in the office so I thought I rather be here then and skip out in November. November I reached Trinidad but my fellow bloggers have already heard about that. Didn’t make it across to Tobago but its alright, I will be there after Carnival.
December was a busy month – landed back here on the 3rd or 4th and had to settle back in and deal with the craziness of the holidays – had no shopping done at all but I made it as always :)
Well that brings me to present day – preparing for Carnival again!!!!
“So wave your hand high, up in the sky…..”
“One thing about my country, where ever we go we love to party, there’s my cousin get at her, show me your rag…..”
“They see baccanical – we see Carnival….”
“I want you to spread out your wings and fly…..taking off like an airplane……”
“When you see me whining in a band, it’s the best thing in the land, hop on up, hop on up!!!!”
Now to start off the New Year. Next 6 weeks dedicated to me and getting fit for Carnival (along with anything else that relates to same)
All the best to all of you in the New Year and God bless!!

Oh gosh buublenut, i can hardly contain myself!
I know bagogyul, the other day one of my friends that is reaching with me was in my car and we were busting out words from soca tunes and all of a sunden I just screamed because I can't take it anymore. What am I supposed to do for the next six weeks !!!!
Was like reading my year end review!!, hah hah, kiddin! So April's a busy bday month for you too huh, does everyone get together 1 time & celebrate w 1 cake?... oh, & no more storming Caribana, you'll be doin it right & playing mas w us!!!!!!
We behave and have 1 cake!!!!
I thought about that you know (playing mas for Caribana with you guys) and I would love to reach Hamilton with you guys if you go this year :)
Good work out last night - I feel great :) u?? Hopefully I will see you back at the gym today, we got work to do :)
Ms Lady I does check your blog everyday to see if u write somethin. Just cause I eh announce meh presence eh mean I do visit allyuh :D
my sides still hurt today from those side bends, that's the stuff boy, working your waist & sides hard, why I never thought of that!!?! & tonight, I can't bend down, man!, pain! what is that from?....
Oh yes, all of us will have to make a trek to Hamilton, that is SUCH a fun day!!!!!!!!!!!
I have questions for you.
1- how you find Barbados in comparison to T&T?
2- So you want to box professionally? or just on the side?
my martial arts instructor always says to say thank you when you get hit. It makes you tougher and you know how to block next time. It teaches you. I'd def want to hear about your fights when you get some. I don't think i'll be going to my classes soon (eyes nah) I miss it though
Thanks Saucy :)
Kara I have no idea why you can't bend down - how come your legs, back what is it??? You going to be ok for Sunday :)
Icanwait - Barbados vs. sweet ol TnT (heehee guess that alone shows my answer)Barbados was nice but I just love Trinidad too bad. Probably one of the main reason is I stay local in Trinidad where Barbados is hotels. I've come to make many friends over the years in Trinidad so visiting is wonderful. My phone ringing over here every couple of days with friends calling me from Trinidad, the island itself is beautiful as well as the people, inside and out.
Awww I read it! Your going to have a smashing time in Feb.
there are no words to explain this February - I'll leave it at that :)
review the year girl - it's good to do :)
It my own fault - I the one sticking with the posts :)
I am work listening to some new soca and I feeling these tunes:
Having A Time - Michelle Xavier
and
Higher Than High - Machel Montano
I CAN FEEL THE SPIRT OF THE ROAD 9unfortunetly I am in my office steups!!!)
you get lots of visitors here Christina, now my blog, that's a different story, it's so lonely over there sometimes :( :( :( sniff sniff...
Yeah, my thighs & back hurt today, not to mention my calves, aka rocks... but hubby actually suggested we go 4 a walk tonight, the weather is so mild, so of course I'm going...!
don't worry girl you'll get comments, only if your blog is new and not everyone know about it then u might be lonely but you have links from other blogs so... I felt that way but you just have to be patient
Kara - hubby went for a walk!!!! and even suggested it at that!!!!!!
I feel ok today - I am surprised, I had a one on one with coach last night - he worked me hard, apparently its his mission or he has a vision - I have no idea what he was saying I was dealing with the pain lol
was your 1:1 so hard you couldn't make today? :(
I was looking 4ward 2 the soca!
It was another James Brown Sunday... which aint that bad!
I didn't get any time w him today (he was building the extension :() oh, actually, just as I was leaving, he says we'll do those "pull ups", you know, the rather compromising position he puts me in where he's standing above me, I grab hold of his ankles, & he pulls me up by my feet.
Hmmmm... not too sure about the benefits of that one?, maybe revenge for what someone did to him as a kid?
LOL Kara you kill me :) Didn't he say that one day you will be able to do those yourself. The reasson I didn't make Sunday is because I went out partying Saturday and came home at 5:30 am, time I went to bed it was 6, boxing was not doing it Sunday morning.
But I am trying to get out of working tonight so I can go boxing, let me know if you are going.
Was the guy selling cd's around lol
Buublenut, good day dear. I added your comment (thanks for your two cents, btw), and of course you could link my blog ;). The more the merrier! It's cool if I could add you, right?
:D
Bless.
PS - Ah cyah wait!!!!!!!!! Meh pores does just RAISE at the thought of being back home, jumpin up!!!! Lol
Socadiva, yeah, I was just whining, you know, boo hoo, woe is me, LOL! ;) Yes, link away, no prob, & if I can link others, I will.
:)
Buub, not tonight, I go Tues. My left arm can't bend all the way down, Coach had me using weights to do punch outs (!!), I'm sure that's how I got injured. :(
ouch be careful - you CAN NOT be injured for the road !!!
I went last night but can't go tonight :( too bad but the rest of the week I will be most present.
Did yo uapply any heat to your harm.
I just bought this thing at Winners - here I go telling the world on my blogg LOL but its a sauna belt (was 8.99) but its spossed to make you shed more water around your waist - I'll let you know how it goes :)
sauna belt, interesting, sounds different.
I went tonight, took some ibuprophen, & told Coach about my arm, so he slapped some vaseline on it & proceeded to knead the bicep - HOLY HELL did it hurt!!!! Then I did most of the usual, & figured ok, I'll try punching, so I punched the bag, which was alright, but when I stopped, my arm was in pain again... so he "massaged" (shoved his thumb in the muscle!) my arm again & I just did kicks with him. I feel I didn't get much of a workout like I usually do tonight, & my arm still hurts. :(
He told me it's not an injury, so I can still do the usual, said I have a knot. So I have to wait for it to go away & stretch a lot. I was just about to put heat on it.
Lesson learned: I have to extend my arms!
LOL Kara - hope you feeling better. It happens to me when I miss a punch - I almost cried before, I am using all this force thinking to make impact and I hit air - it screws up my elbow. Heat and massage - the other coach (asst) told me once to but a towel with vinegar - never tried it but you can be the first :)
I have to work late again tonight and tomorrow so I can't make boxing (I AM SO MAD!!!) Thats ok extra $$$ for TnT but still steups!!
I'll be there Sunday for sure!!!
Winners has a sale - I grabbed two pairs of Adidas sweat pants for $10 each!!! one blue and one pink - my favorite colours!!!
Anyways morning coffee (blogging) done – time to do some work…
Thanks, it hurts less now, but still hurts.
That sucks ya gotta work late, but yep, good 2 have the $$. Bev hasn't been boxing since Dec. :(
Oh, I was walking through Superstore near the pharmacy & saw a bin filled w glitter, nail polish, all that kinda carnival stuff for.... 24 cents!! If you're there, check it out!
