Wonderful collection of vintage photos from Old Bahamas.

Okay so composite post today it is. Yesterday, to sum it up in one word, was uneventful. I got a new teacher and for the most part she’s pretty good. i think she just needs to let us talk more, like letting us read rather than reading for us. For lunch i ate at this restaurant called ‘Fresas’ (‘strawberries’ in spanish). It was good meal, but a little bit expensive. I had a chicken burger and fries and it was real chicken and not some pre-packaged thing. That pretty much summed up my Monday.

Today was i gues a bit more exciting. Class was extra boring so i finally asked to be moved up. We’ll see how that goes in the morning. Dance class was supposed to be today, but it got postponed (again). Tomorrow is cooking class, so i’m looking forward to that and free food. Movie night is also tomorrow, but i don’t know what are our options.

There are currenly a lot of cross country groups but tomorrow will be their last day, thankfully. The school is extra packed with them around and they pretty much take over because it’s so many of them. They don’t really cause any trouble though.

I also paid for my departure tax todays so that’s out of the way. Most countries and airlines have the departure tax attached to the plane ticket, but not here in Costa Rica. I also signed up to go to volcano Arenal on the weekend, but so far we need at least one more person to have the minimum amount of people. While i’m on that trip i’ll be in transit to Flamingo Beach in the northwest (Guanacaste).

No pictures today, but i haven’t taken any noteworthy pictures today or yesterday. There will be pics tomorrow. Pics of FOOD! Chyeah!

Simone.. fishing hehe

Wonderful collection of vintage photos from Old Bahamas.

It finally came in the mail! Great read!

My brothers older brother came by the house today. And yes my brother’s brother. It’s his brother on his father’s side. Well he came by the house today and he told me something. He told me that as you get older heritage becomes more and more important. He’s trying to teach his daughter this as well because his daughter lives in Orange, CT and she is “whited out”. And she really is if you think about the way she acts and how she speaks to him sometimes with that tone of voice. She does go to school with mostly white but at the same time she is still Bajan and Jamaican and probably doesn’t know much about her background. So my deal is I want to get to know my backgrounds a little better. I want to visit both Jamaica and Puerto Rico. I live with my mom and she’s jamaican so I didn’t grow up with people always around me speaking spanish or any of that. I only see that side of the family when we visit eachother and I used to live with them when I was younger but dude I can’t even remember what I ate last night so that doesn’t matter. It’s time to get in touch with my inner soul. <—I bet that sounded deep. haha

YardFlexTV presents ‘Jamaica Dancehall Queen 2010’ (Part 1)

this competition is probably the one of the best examples of dancehall’s international appeal. it’s impressive to think that both queens and unknown hopefuls from all over the world come to seek some semblance of validation from a temperamental* crowd in Montego Bay.

Also, take in consideration that as lewd as it looks, there’s a certain level of flexibility and coordination on display here. i mean, could you easily roll from a ‘boom flick’ into ‘head top’ and then rotate? exactly!

*if you know anything about the infamous ‘bottlings’ at sting and other shows, then you already know sey jamaican people nuh easy.

As in…this girl is so sexy

I’d say this is a good reason to come to Jamaica. She’s a cool kid I just met

Swallowed in the Sea wrap bracelet.

Created by SVJewellery over in the UK, these laser-cut acrylic earrings portray half of a test subject heading into a blue portal, and the other half popping out of the orange portal. They hang from silver-plated wires and measure about 1.77? (45mm) in total height.

The Portal laser-cut earrings can be found over on SVJewellery’s Etsy shop for $19.95 (USD) a pair. Just remember, never aim an Aperture Science Handheld Portal Device at your ears, unless you want your brains to fall out.

I made an attempt at an ear cuff. It turned out decent, but I know that I can do better than just this. So you know that I’m going to try again. It’s all copper wire (Bare copper and gun metal toned) With brass colored beads and purple iridescent purple beads,

so i can honestly say, some people who wear this much jewelry, packed on like this, really dont look this good in it! she can definitely pull it off, and im loving it!

FOOD GROUP POSTER: Some of us might like to reinstate this food guide from World War II because butter has its own food group. Not to mention the fact that it recommends eating any other foods you want in addition to the Basic Seven. (circa 1945)
