Skins: My Verdict
D
I would have given it a lower grade, but I must admit I thoroughly enjoyed the scene where JJ, Thomas and Pandora are watching a movie, the fact the JJ is so oblivious to what Thomas and Panda are talking about had me cracking up.
The Future Is Here; The Future Is The iPad??
But enough about what makes me Laugh Out Loud, lets get a lowdown on the spex:
- 1.5 pounds in weight
- 0.5 inches thick
- 9.7 multi-touch IPS screen
- 1GHz Apple A4 chip
- Available in: 16GB, 32GB, and 64GB
- 10 hours of battery life
- 1 month of standby time
- WiFi
- Bluetooth
- A speaker
- A microphone
- and lots more (lol)
3G enabled models will range from $629 (16GB), $729 (32GB), and $829 (64GB).
All in all I'd rather get me an iPhone (as you all know my undying love for it). I just find the whole concept of lugging around that big mass of techno all too strange if you ask me. I don't know maybe at a later stage I might change my mind. I still think that Apple is trying to punk us all and it's all a big joke.
Yay! GTA: Episodes Coming To PC And PS3!!

Desperate (Romantics)

Congratulations Mo’Nique
Wow who would have funked it? The loud and proud (and yes annoying at times) Mo’Nique, winning a Golden Globe?
Well let me say this, ‘SHE BLOODY WELL DESVRED IT!!!’ it’s always been said that ‘comedians make the best actors’, but I personally don’t find her funny..... AT ALL..... Okay well, maybe sometimes, when theirs know one at home, to witness me laugh, I might let out a little chuckle. But I have to give credit where credits due. After watching her amazing and shocking performance in ‘Precious’, I’ve actually grown to like her; I’ve even resulted to watching her talk show on BET.
It’s funny what an amazing film can do to you, and I don’t just mean in the performance sense, but in the sense that, talent can actually mean something, in a world where we’ve replace:
Good singing for Good use of Auto-Tune,
Amazing actors/actresses for People who Pout and Look good on our screens,
and Great TV for The same old “REALITY” TV programme, with the Rich Girl, and her Rich Friends, her Expensive Bag, with her Booming Business (which she founded on the show btw) and her Insure Boyfriend... blah blah blah(I could go on).
But Precious is one of the films where, it’s like ‘where are the good looking people?’, ‘where are all the stars?’ (Yes I know Mariah Carey’s in it for all of 2 seconds), but it’s one of those films where, we follow the story, watch the amazing acting (from the entire cast), and great directing, it’s kind of like one of those uplifting movies, for the simple fact it represents what Hollywired doesn't anymore.
‘NEW TALENT’
P.S if you haven’t read, the book I recommend it as well, to get more of an insight. Luv Ya ☮

To Diet Or Not To Diet
There are so many things in this world that will get a giggle off me. But this post is not about my favorite comedy movie, nor is it about TV shows that make me roll on the floor laughing.
This is about the 'Diet Industry. 'OMG'! I can already hear the gasps of shock. How can the Diet Industry make someone laugh you may ask? Well let me tell you. The reason why every time I hear of a new fad diet such as the cabbage soup diet, a smile crosses my face (not a smile of delight more like an insider smile) is because this industry is making so much money off us, when there is a simple, free and easy alternative.
Okay so you won't lose 2 stone in 2 weeks but this method is so easy, natural and you can eat the food you like. What is this diet you scream reaching for your purses. Hold on ladies, like I said this is a 'free' method!! So hold off with the notes. Before I start I have a few questions that I need to ask you in order for you to reflect on what the Diet Industry is doing for you the consumer:
Do you actually know how much the Diet Industry is making off us?
Are you certain that what you are buying, is actually worth it/or actually works?
So the Diet Industry makes a lot of money. Which consists of our hard earned cash. We fork over thousands a year for a quick fix to lose weight; when the answer of how to become thinner is right in front of our eyes.
Ladies Ladies calm down! The time has come for me to finally reveal my secret. Well it's not really a secret. I guess you could say it's common knowledge. A lot of us already know this secret, but we chose to ignore it because, we are caught up in the world of having the perfect body right now. This takes me back to my sociology lessons in school. This is called immediate gratification. We want the nice perfect body right now, but because of reasons which differ from person to person we don't have the desire to wait we want it right now and as I have previously pointed out this can be highly dangerous.
So here it is. Yes I am telling the truth and I will not be waffling on. The secret is smaller portions and exercise. Yup, I can hear the moans now. 'Is that it, I read through all of this to be told that all I need to do is eat smaller portions and exercise more pah! Disappointed? Don't be! It is my mission to stop the women of Britain forking out thousands and putting their lives in danger to achieve this idealistic look.
You can still eat the food that you want but you have to take notice of what you are eating. This means that you can still have that chocolate cake that you've been dreaming of all week, but it also means that you shouldn't be having said cake everyday. It is all about portion/size control! Forget counting calories, it will drive you crazy! Just fill up more with the good stuff, and downsize on the bad stuff!!!
In regards to exercise, I know there is that I can't be bothered attitude (I mean I have the same thing). Or the 'I can't afford or be bothered to go to the gym' attitude. Well, my advise to you is to walk. Yup, walk; walking is the most effective free and easy way to burn. Start of with 30 minutes a day (this can be broken up into 2 sets of 15 minutes if time is a issue), and I'm not talking strolling here people. I'm talking about the type of walking that leaves you breathless but at the same time be able to hold a conversation walking. And if you can't be bothered to get out of the house, there is always walking up and down the stairs!!!
With this healthier lifestyle, you will still achieve the body that you desire, maybe even better because of the exercise and you will feel healthier and more energetic.
I'm not a dietitian or nutritionist, all of this is just advice; so if you feel the need to look into it further I would advise you to talk to a nutritionist or dietitian.

Pack it in!! Edition 2.0 8YR OLD TERROR SUSPECT
No I'm kidding guys he isn't a terrorist but he has been on the terror watchlist since the age of two. That's right people read it and weep the poor guy has been given a bit more than the ol' pat down each time he goes through airport security. Odd? Yes indeed it is. But why?
WHO KNOWS?! He's an eight-year-old Cub Scout for crying out loud! However his name is among or at least a close match to another name on the US terror watchlist. Although lil ol' Mickey apparently isn't on the 'no-fly' list amongst 2,500 dangerous civilians his dad, a US Navy veteran, had the pleasure of finding out from an airline official that he "was on a list" and then subsequently denied a seat to Florida. Correct me if I'm wrong but of all the lists you want to be on, iTunes download chart, the Grammy's, Golden Globes, this is one you'd rather be left out of.
According to The Times newspaper good old Mike was frisked on the way out to a family holiday in the Bahamas and then frisked "even more aggressively on his return flight." The Times goes on to say that,
"Micheal is the apparent victim of America's increasingly heavy-handed system
of airline security. The attempted underwear bombing of a Detroit bound flight on
Christmas Day led US officials to add even more names to the country's terror watchlists."
There's always one person that has to ruin it for all of us. It makes you wonder what type of system is involved in deciphering who does and does not make "the list." Micheal's mother, a photojournalist, hits on the seriousness of the situation, "Its Scary because he's eight. What happens when he's sixteen?" I'm guessing he'll be getting a little more than a good frisking...
Where do they think Cub Scout Mikey is gonna go? Taliban summer camp???
There are some situations you just have to say...PACK IT IN!!

OMG!
- You know that butters pic your friend tagged of you that you untagged and thought you would never ever see again? Or the status or comment you deleted, believing that it had vanished off the Internet world for good. Well, think again because Facebook keeps all of this info on their big fat server;
- Gone are the days when you thought that you were anonymously stalking someone by looking through their pics, because Facebook keeps a log of this;
- The other week I got a Facebook Best Friend badge thingymabob...so I went to investigate and found that this was based on Facebook activity between friends; apparently Facebook tracks how often you interact with a person's profile and how many times you click on it....
Gosh it just goes to show how much of our liberties are taken away from us as we develop more and more into the Digital Age!

Yes I will be buying Chris Brown's new album... alright yeah I know it's been out for a while, but I just came into a lil bit of money after my poverty stint, so now is the time!! I don't know why people are still hyping...yeah he did something, but my man says he sorry. Leave it in the past, we don't know what went down, we weren't there. I don't think that this should ruin his career. Let me just say I love this guy...in terms of performance and song style he has it down! If he had a concert coming to Londizzle yes I would go. So to all the haterz...I just wanna say suck out...I will be buying his album and yes I officially love Transform Ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Being Human!!!!
So finally people peeps we all as a nation got to glimpse into the world that is Being Human for a second season. So please, tell me what did you think? Were you as excited and as impressed as me? Well obviously I had a different experience than most, as this was actually my second time watching the episode; as many of you may know I had the privilege of watching it way before you lot and those lucky people who got tickets to Being Human Live on the 7th, because I went to see it at the BAFTA building up Piccadilly (omg you do not understand the rush that goes to my head everytime I mention the whole BAFTA thing). Anyway let me stop before I get ahead of myself like I always seem to do. It was different this time round especially because I was watching on my tellybox. I guess I understood what was going on more, I don't know if that makes sense to you?

Primark Online Store Petition
People it's that time again, lets get this revoloution started. Head over to:
Primark Online Store Petition
65 signatures and going strong! People get the word out!
E20: Eastenders Online Spin-Off
Check it out here:
E20
My initial thoughts are quite positive; as with most things, it is not really easy to make a judgement on the first show. But so far I am quite impressed. With the recent boom of online series and the interlink with the main show, I predict that this show will be a success!
We have already been introduced to Zsa Zsa, Fat Boy and Leon in the main show and tonight we finally got to meet the fourth and final member Mercy.
Familiar faces from the main show that popped up were Zainab Masood, Lucy Beale, Lucas Johnson, Masood and Mo Harris.
OMG!

Inter-Racial Relationships
SB!!!
Now, looking back as a 21 year old (who has had more life experience then I did as a 10 year old) some of the story-lines we found to be so amazing, are so flipping corny OMG they are full of corn cheese mate. But that is not stopping me, my love is still there no matter how excruciatingly bad it is...I'm up to episode 49 now (okay so i know there's like 500 or something out there but hey let me live and love it).
Rant of the Day!

What Is Confidence?
Can somebody anybody teach me how to use twitter!!! I mean it... no joke. I'm on it and I'm following people (and people are following me, as you already may know I have 6 followers). I know that you can write statements and add people, but that's about all! What's this retweet malarkey about? How do you retweet anyway? How do you talk to someone? How do you change your background picture? For a tech-head I'm pretty clueless with this one!!! So there must be someone that can help me and teach me the basics...I know I was skeptical in the beginning when Twitter was the next best thing since sliced bread. But I want to jump aboard the Twitter-wagon too!!!
Being Human Screening
Okay, I've fanned myself down and I'm ready to tell you about my trip to the Being Human Screening. Let me just say it was amazing!!!
Me and my Being Human pal arrived in Piccadilly on time!! Yes I said it, we arrived on time. Cos you know with these type of events its not about being late because YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED IN! Anyhoo, tell me why we ended up at the Ritz like we could afford it and not the Bafta building (the funny thing is we actually walked past the Bafta building when we were trying ever so hard to find it lol). We walked in through the double doors to be greeted by some suited and booted dude, gosh I felt like i was royalty. The carpet we walked on was so plush; it was so soft I felt like I was walking on sand. Even the bathroom was nice, it had both hand wash and cream! Now how many bathrooms do you walk into that have cream???
Wow I sound like I have never been to a nice place before....
You do not understand how excited I got when we were told that Aidan was there, my friend had to stop me from turning around. All throughout the actual screening, I was getting all giggly thinking 'omigosh, omigosh Aidan Turner's behind me' like a schoolgirl. Don't get me started on how I acted when he was doing Q&A's. Apparently, when the guy next to me was on the mic asking a question (when I thought I was being discrete), I was told that I kept saying 'omigosh, omigosh'...quite loud.
But back to the actual screening and enough about my lil crush. Like I mentioned before the first episode in the second season is amazing. Yup, Being Human is coming back with a bang!!!
Because I don't want to be the one that ruins it for the rest; I'm not going to reveal what goes on in the episode, but like I keep saying viewers will not be disappointed!!!
So tune into BBC Three at 9:30 and be prepared for horror, laughs and even scenes of nudity lol!

UK Exports
OMG! So I have just found out that they are to produce a US version of Shameless! When will it stop!!! I know I should have that feeling of 'Pride', but with the disappointments of The Office: An American Workplace and Life on Mars, I don't know where I stand on this discovery.
There have been many US remakes over the years; from game-shows to dramas, with many being very unsuccessful. So my fingers are crossed on this one.
Shows of ours that are shipping off to America in the future are:
Hustle-Apparently there are talks of turning this into a film.
Spooks
Inbetweeners
Skins
Mistresses
Pulling
Outnumbered
Even Gavin and Stacey's getting a US remake!! OMG that is one show I would want to see. I wonder how they will develop an Americanised version of the Welsh-Anglo love story that we all know and love in sunny old UK. Sadly the show will not be written by creators James Corden and Ruth Jones so I have fears of it not having the same essence as the original.
