Parisian Nights
I recently went to Paris for a weekend to get away from it all and it did me great, not even good ! Eating and shopping was galore of the day i must say.
I stayed in a hotel in Daumesnil and took the train there from Charles De Gaulle Airport via Chatelet Les Halles and Gare De Lyon. Not the bestest of stations , CLH definately needs a re-vamp as it looks typical inner city Paris..more like the NY subway , where everything looks derelict and very crime ridden.
The hotel was absolutely amazing (Grand Hotel Dore) and i'd recommend anyone travelling to Paris to go there. The staff is uber friendly, rooms are pristine and homely and if it wasnt considered stealing, i'd happily bring back everything of it on the flight ;)
I went to Galeries Lafayette, it is like the British Harrods and very regal both visually and aurically. It spans over 7-10 floors, with exclusive weekly fashion shows on a friday at the top floor ! All you need to do is make reservations on www.galerieslafayette.com and they will reserve you a place :)
Parisian Pastries and their sweet food is second to none ! I even brought some home with me,they were so delicious. Boy, am i glad i learnt French at school-i never realised how handy it would come ordering food and train tickets in a rush !
I also went to Commerce, it spans so many little boutiques and shops and not to mention the famous Champs Elysees ! Their items may be super expensive but second to none !
Overall..Beauty, Shopping and Food is what makes Paris, Paris :)

My beautiful life
I dont know if i've chosen the right path...i feel coals under my feet, tears in my eyes and vultures congregating with crows waiting to eat my flesh...but i'm going forward full speed,so God if its the right path let me continue and if it isn't make sure You wipe every trace of it and give me the chance to start afresh..
I beileve in Divine Power and belief in it has led me to where i am, today.
I am thankful for the food and drink i get given to consume, the clothes on my back and roof over my head. The education that i've worked so hard for, the empires i'm set to build and conquer. But most of all i am thankful to my parents for encouraging me to set foot one step further that i would have originally done. I thank them for keeping me in line and challenging me to become the best woman i possibly could become.
Anger is a scarce thing in my world. However if i end up hating you-your dead body is quite a sight to me. Im heartless and remorseless to those who have torn pieces of my heart out. On other days, i roam around with angels and their light and play cards with the demons when we fight who looks best in red lipstick.
My life is beautiful and beautiful is my life-because i choose to make it.
You can either choose to walk beside me or not walk with me at all. The choice is ultimately yours- i have never forced anyone.
Blessings

A man
He wakes up in a haze
Looks around and scratches himself
Everything in a daze
All contents of the room for thyself
He goes to work
Sees her,
On his mind, she'll lurk,
Walkin past at closing time in her fur.
She's a charm
A stunner some might add
Her wicked smile brings harm
He thinks to himself-"She's got to be had"
A woman knows her power,
The one she wields,
A smart one-its herself-she shields,
A man of the hour-Just a man.
Looks around and scratches himself
Everything in a daze
All contents of the room for thyself
He goes to work
Sees her,
On his mind, she'll lurk,
Walkin past at closing time in her fur.
She's a charm
A stunner some might add
Her wicked smile brings harm
He thinks to himself-"She's got to be had"
A woman knows her power,
The one she wields,
A smart one-its herself-she shields,
A man of the hour-Just a man.
Myself
The gleam of my teeth,
The swing of my hips,
The legs that walk to the beat,
The pouting of my lips.
Bright eyed and bushy tailed,
Dresser awash with beauty samples,
Dress sense i have nailed,
In the fashion world, i dabble.
My jeans dark blue,
My top bright pink,
Aligned with gold-pair of beautiful shoe,
I'm bought a drink.
My intelligence vivid
The mind ethereal
Anger anything but livid
I am nothing but myself
The swing of my hips,
The legs that walk to the beat,
The pouting of my lips.
Bright eyed and bushy tailed,
Dresser awash with beauty samples,
Dress sense i have nailed,
In the fashion world, i dabble.
My jeans dark blue,
My top bright pink,
Aligned with gold-pair of beautiful shoe,
I'm bought a drink.
My intelligence vivid
The mind ethereal
Anger anything but livid
I am nothing but myself

Feminine Swagger
This is a term that i have coined after a recent situation.
Feminine Swagger. The ability to retain grace and dignity in a situation that requires courage to stand up for yourself.
Many a time i have seen even the most beautiful and hot of woman look like a Class A idiot because when push comes to shove, she shouts and swears in the general public that reduces lady rating into the ground. An arguement or fight breaks out and she looks like a drunken man. Once people and most especially men see this image of a female, they automatically flip the "turn off" switch.
Feminine Swagger is essential when a woman is single, in a relationship and married. Single-she'll have plenty of men hit on her and she needs a rebuff to keep them at bay. In a relationship-she has to be polite however at the same time let the men know shes with someone AND gain respect the man shes with at the time and when she's married- always hold her own down in the marriage.
Acting like a tomboy or a shemale will not get a woman anywhere. Have quick comebacks with a razor sharp tounge but always deliver with dignity. Do not call people names and be nasty to them.
There are ways of dealing with even the most brash of society. Its called Walking Away. It doesn't make you less of a person just more of a human who will take their respect, albeit intact-away with them.
