The weekly update

Started the semester finals on Monday, and it’s just my luck that the last one is in a few hours time. Funny how exam time changes people because it seems you all have this one thing in common, this inevitable thing, that’s gut wrenching and stressing. I discovered this when I was sitting outside of the exam room and this girl walked towards me...well towards the room to be exact. She then proceeded to greet me...by name and ask how I was. Of course the fact that she knew my name threw me off a bit, there are some people you see around but never talk to and therefore never consider that they would know your name. After all there is something intimate about a person’s name. We proceeded to discuss the exams questions we might face.
Even the Barbies are being very friendly, which is kinda weird and unnerving, considering that they are Barbies all the time. Exam time changes people...I’ll be glad when it’s over as I am in need of a well deserved break.

In Obama News

Of course with the inaugaration looming evryone is debating on what Mrs. O should wear and the top name designers are falling over each other and getting their sketches in. Personally I have three favourites. One by my favourite designer Christian Lacroix for the dramatic-ness of it all


, and then every bride’s fave designer Monique Lhuiller for something glamourous


and then last but not least perennial First Lady favourite Oscar de la Renta for the sheer simplicity and elegance

Thanksgiving Take 2

The Obamas braved the cold to hand out thanksgiving meals. And I was thankful, that I was almost done with my degree, I had a job in the financial services area when a lot of people were losing theirs, that I have a Bf who loves me, that I was not in Mumbai ( still praying for everyone there - there is a heart breaking story of a little boy his name's Moshe[means saviour] whose parents ran the Jewish centre Chabad House, they were killed in front of him). Sad, just sad.


These are trying times we live in, I look back and think I want to be a kid again and not have all these worries, because it seems then, that life was not harsh.


It's all political

Apparently the prez was buying the new Mrs O a $30k ring, peanuts compared to Bee's $5m Lorraine Schwartz bauble, of course it's all rumour, why do people always suffer from PHDs (pull him/her down syndrome??) Anways word is that people are out to make them to be elitist and not down to earth, watevs *rolls eyes*

I am however loving the dual Essence cover, it's going to be worth a mint in 10 years time. Mrs O brings the hotness and if she wasn't married to him, I'd jack him and make a baby daddy, all that swagger on one man ain't good.



Speaking of politics, the Secretary of State is Hillary Clinton, interesting choice, good one nonetheless.

Music minute

OMG I am loving me some Sol-angel, chick has been underrated, suppose that's what happens when your sister is Bee. I felt her since her Feelin u days but chick went and stepped up her game with T.O.N.Y. which has been on replay much to my Bf's annoyment...LOL. I also dropped some extra hard hints as to my christmas pressie...the album of course!



Love the ending with the photo of her and her son, beautiful.
