What is your favorite Cadbury celebration?

OMG!

Have you seen the updated Toys R' Us advert?

Aww the blissful memories I had as a kid! Getting excited every Christmas when it would come on telly; and now its back!

However, even with its new glossy surface I will always remeber the original, and it will always be my favourite.

REVIEW: Wale, Attention: Deficit

Ok... it’s so nice to listen to refreshing music; it’s even better when you buy an album and you can just sit there, dance there or lay there (or whatever you do when listening to music) and not have to repeatedly skip through the tracks!!!  

The feeling I got from listening to Wale’s ‘Attention Deficit’ was the same feeling I got from listening to early Kanye West music; an easy listen, different, funny, creative, thought provoking, intelligent, cocky and hard. Wale chooses to opt out of the mundane topics we're so used to hearing from new breed rap artist, you know the cliché? About ‘trapping’ and ‘how life was so hard growing up’. However this freshman picks very interesting and brave subjects to speak on.  

For example the track ‘Shades’ featuring Chrisette Michele (which is one of my favs) he talks about his insecurities being a dark skin male! He raps ‘I never fit in with them light skins/ I thought the lighter they was/ the better that they life is/ so I resented them and they resented me...’  

We have tracks like the opening song, which to me sounds like it has a heavy Fela Kuti/afro-beat influence in the beat. The song itself is like watching an opening scene from a sick movie and you get all excited, because you no it’s going to be good and it’s defiantly going to be worth the wait. He raps ‘I ain’t tryna be politically correct/But I won’t stop until I get my respect.’ (I swear I listened to this song at least 10 times before I moved on) 

My only wish is that ‘Ice and Rain’ made it to the album however we are compensated with ‘Diary’ featuring Marsha Ambrosius  and ‘90210’ produced by Mark Ronson.

As a first attempt I can proudly say that 'Attention Deficit' is a very impressive piece of work, which I give a:
Grade A.

To Tip or Not To Tip (Part One)

That is the burning question!

First we have to distinguish between a tip and a service charge.

A tip is a voluntary payment- a payment which the payee decides to pay (in accordance to how much and who to...blah blah...)
A service charge is a payment which a restaurant decides on (e.g. the amount)
(By the way these are my own definitions)

Phew, glad we got that out of the way...on with the story/article/or whatever you want to call it.

Okay so you walk into a restaurant, you sit down eat a meal, get ready to pay the bill and you see at the end that a service charge has been added. What do you do? According to which.co.uk; first you have to find out whether the charge is compulsory or not. If the charge is compulsory, by law the restaurant has to make this known to you before you eat your meal. The charge must be clearly indicted on the menu and either outside the building or immediately inside of the door.

If the service charge is not shown, you are within your legal right to not pay it. You can also get in touch with the Trading Standards and report the restaurant for unclear or misleading pricing, which is a criminal offence.

Also, if you feel that the service that you were given was poor, it is within your rights to refuse to pay it.

Happy 1st Anniversary... Birthday...Whatever!!!

I cannot believe that it has been a year since My Freedom Years was established! Well technically over a year as I was elsewhere on the actual birthday/anniversary/or whatever you want to call it. I just want to say a big thank you to the people that actually do follow us; and here is to hoping that in the coming year My Freedom Years becomes successful! Yay!

Children In Need

It's that time again where you stay up for about 7 hours watching different types of entertainment, in order to raise money for kids. Yup you guessed it, it's Children in Need. In its 30th year Chidren in Need has helped thousands of children that have been in desperate need for help. It is also vetran Terry Wogan's 30th year and Pudsey's 25th.

The dedication that people take to raise money, is commendable. I remember when I was a kid, we did a trail of coins all the way from our primary school to the local church, I don't remember how much we raised, but the amount of pride we felt for raising that money was amazing.

Here is a Live stream of the show:

Watch live video from Dragon T.V on Justin.tv

Rihanna

Wow Rihanna has grown so much, check this behind-the-scenes video of her album shoot

It's hard to think that this is the same girl

I guess everyone has to grow up...I just can't get over the fact that she is 2 days younger than me!!!!

Okay so I thought I'd google myself...don't ask... and you will never guess what I came across... my Primark petition. At the time I thought OMG this will be such a good idea I'm gonna start something, the after a while I got a bit paro that no one would sign it and so Ii forgot all about it. So to my utter astonishment, I found that it had 51 signatures on it. That's not a lot some of you would cry, but hey 51 shows that there is a little bit of interest, so i have now vowed that I will finish what I started. Join the revolution!!!

ODBODY!?!?!?!

Okay so there is this new website called odbody.com. Its a somewhat social networking site with a twist. Basically it allows you to create a life path. It allows you to record events that have happened to you in your lifetime, sort of like a personal time-line.

Wow it kind of reminds me of that programme 'This Is Your Life' when I was a kid I remember watching thinking, 'I really want one of these', so in a weird kind of way I guess I'm kind of getting one, but instead of it being delivered to me in a red book, it's available online.

Friday the 13th

OMG it's Friday the 13th...so far the only bad luck I've had is my stupid computer crash on me oh and the fact that it's raining so heavily that I can't go out.

I Know I'm a Bit Late...

So i may be a bit late with this one, but hey I'm jumping on the bandwagon now...

I loves this song omigosh...no seriously how good is this song? I first heard it when I watched some Cadillach ad. See I told you guys ads really influence me, a lot of advert song have really captivated me. This song is now on my top 10 of the month list swear down.

Celebrity 'Relationships'

Why is the media so obsessed with celeb couples?

Okay I know that people want to read about them, but that is a different story. Today's discussion is about the 'media reports' that say that certain celebs are dating because the stepped out of the house together. I mean c'mon is there no such thing as friendship in the world of celeb? Can you imagine so and so are in a film together omigosh they're dating; so and so were spotted eating at a restaurant and getting close to each other, omigosh they're dating. I think it's altogether absurd. Can you imagine this happening in the real world (yeah I did say real world, this is the world that me and you live in), you spot people walking down the street together, omigosh they're dating, a postman (or woman or  if we are being politically correct post-person or whatever you want to call them) coming out of someones house; omigosh they're dating... hahaha. It's too much, wow maybe I need to throw myself in front of a celeb next time I see one getting papped and maybe the next time I google myself something better than my facebook account will come up lol.

This whole thing cracks me up. I'm like until a celeb says it out of their own mouth, I will never believe it; I'm not gonna lie to you, I will be intrigued and it is possible that I will google it. But I'm always gonna be sceptical.

Jensen Ackles is Getting Married!?!?!?!?!?!

Mate I have just heard the news and I am absolutely heartbroken. The love of my life Jensen Ackles is getting married; I'm like I didn't even know that he had a girlfriend. Gosh all them future plans I had for us cooked up in my head gone forever; lol that sounds bare stalkerish. I just want to say congratulations to him, I'm not one to be bitter. I don't care if he is getting married he is still and will ever be to me HOTT! and one of the loves of my life.

The War of The SmartPhones

OMG! I've just heard through the grapevine that Samsung have teamed up with Giorgio Armani to make a Smartphone.

Jay Z ft. Alicia Keys-Empire State of Mind - New Video

Alas the new Jay Z video is out!



Aww! This video is really patriotic, it is a real homage to New York. I love that, its makes you see how important the place where people are from is to them. I love songs where people talk positively about where their from. I dunno, maybe because it makes me reflect on where I've come from and makes me think positively about my own future and that when I am successful I can look back and say I am what I am because of my roots and where I've come from.

Alicia is on fire in this video. She is going crazy on that piano. It's like an extension of her body. I wish I could play the piano like her, heck I wish I could play the piano. I swear that girl has got pure passion, it's crazy to think that this is the same person who was gracing are screens with fallin'.

I'm also loving the use of black and white in the first half of the video. As an aspiring photographer/music video director myself, I feel that the use of black and white gives the video a sense of warmth and intensifies the message of the video.

"Concrete jungle where dreams are made of..." I swear down I am loving that line. Every time I hear it, it sends tingles down my spine. It speaks the truth, because New York is a place where a lot of people go to to recognise their dreams. This all goes back to what I was saying before with the patronage to where you are from.
As an aspiring photographer; i love the use of pictures, i feel that it adds a personal touch to the video. I also like the fact that it's not all girls, cars and glamour, that most hip hop videos are today. It's just basic, and that's what makes it special.

So marks outta 10, I'm gonna give a 7! I'm impressed.

Omigosh I feel robbed

So I was one of them late comers to the wonderful world of the Wii. How is it that there is a black Wii? Seriously I feel really robbed. If  I had just waited 5 months then I would have had a sexy black Wii. I'm sorry if I sound shallow I know that both colours will do the same thing but come on how many people can possibly say that they have an exclusive black Wii. Oh the pain, the pain of having to be so greedy and inpatient. the the funny story is that i barely play the thing so i could have just waited. The shambles!

Rant of the Day!

OMG! Why is the world so money hungry. People act like they are trying to help you and when you get to the bottom of it all you see that there is an ulterior motive and that they want something out of that help. I hate companies that go on like they are going to help you get into the media/television industry; you get all excited and then find out that in order to use a certain package or become a member you have to pay. Everyone knows that it is a hard industry to crack and these people are just taking advantage of the situation. AAAAAAAARGH! It just frustrates me so much 'cause there is no one out there that can help, I so wish I had chosen to become a doctor instead, then I know I would've had some kind of career help!

WHAAAATTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry how is it that John and Edward are through yet again? I thought X-Factor was supposd to be a talent show...just goes to show that it's all about the ratings

November Baby!

I know it's a bit late but pinch punch people, first day of the month and all of that.
