"There can be miracle when you believe,
Though hope is frail,it's hard to kill
Who knows what miracles you can achieve
When you believe, somehow you will
You will when you believe."

Musings--------4 years after
To blog or not to blog? It's been a nagging question in some tiny corner of my mind these past few months.
Why should I blog? For me, it no longer holds that"appeal".. I mean..everyone and their mama has a blog now.lol
Why did i stop in the first place? What exactly am I trying to achieve with this post?
What am I even doing? Am I just restless and in need of some e- diversion? I meaFacebook lost its appeal donkey years ago, my bbz10 killed my barely there aptitude for twitter..and instagram?i just registered yesterday (covers face) we'll see how that one goes.. )
Or is this my half hearted attempt at some random amusement? I unexpectedly got about two hours to kill so why not ? Right?..that is if my 3 year old will let me tho.....(she thinks the iPad is hers!someone must have given her "ideas" and it's definitely not me..when u borrow something , it doesnt automatically become yours! That's not so haaard to understand.abi?)
Anyway, it's been 4 years!!!! I mean four whole years!! feels like a lifetime ago..(seriously).sooo much has changed in that time..life has evolved in more ways than one .
okkkkk. There's probably something more important I should be doing with this time..maybe just jisting or playing with the kids?surely that's more valuable..right? Especially as I don't have all day....
Well, sorry to have taken your time( dats laughable actually seeing as even I could barely find my way here!but just in case anyone's reading) this is me havin a convo with myself oo. one that I might just publish..or will I? I probably will..just for the heck of it plus the delete button is readily available should I change my mind.
Another thing..This post has no direction.I was hoping to get an "Einstein" moment somewhere along the line but it hasn't happened. And I need to get breakfast!
I'll be back when I have some clarity.
Hope it won't be in another four years
Xoxo( who still signs off like that? ****bbm embarrassed face*****)

THE INAGURATION OF BARACK OBAMA!!!
I havent felt like blogging all this while and frankly i've been too busy
The only thing that makes me wanna blog is yesterday's memorable inaguration of
the man who has shown us that if you can dream it, you can be it..
the man who has become an inspiration to millions of people around the world.
the man who had the audacity to hope...
Abraham Lincoln's self appointed protege;
President Barack Obama!
It was simply exceptional the way millions of americans braved the harsh weather to witness the inaguration of the first black or African -American (which is politically correct?) president of the United states of America...
The occasion was of immense significance to the black community who up till about 50 yrs ago were still severly segregated in the land they called home and to the American people and their history as a nation...a monument to how much they've grown as a people.
My fav things/moments at the inaguration...
- Sasha and malia Obama with their grandmother Marian Robinson......My! those gals are beautiful..and it was a joy to watch the sheer ordinariness of a happy family in extraordinary times!
-Michelle Obama's yellow gold and green ensemble by Cuban designer Isabel Toledo......extra fierce
-the brief interlude during the presidential oath-taking( hope the Chief justice wasnt intentionally up to anything!lol!)
-The Obamas meeting the Bushes for coffee at the White house in the morning...
Michelle presented the outgoing first lady Laura Bush with a pen engraved with yesterday's date and a journal inscribed with the quotaion that read “There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. Yet that will be the beginning.” .......................aint that just sweet?
-Joe Biden's smile...d man has really got a sunny one...he obviously couldnt contain his joy as he was almost dancing on the parade ground....(wonder what wifey was thinking)...and btw she didnt look half bad herself with her red coat and knee high boots...
- The president's new cadillac One...now..thats one fortified tank!!
all in all, it was a fantastic ceremony..yeah..and lest i forget, i loved the ball gown mitchelle wore for the inagural dinner..( i hear fashionistas have a thing or two to say about this one tho')
i thot she looked gorgeous none the less.......work it then Mitchelle!
and even if some say she cant dance to save her life...WE STILL LOVE HER
and even if some say she cant dance to save her life...WE STILL LOVE HER
