I'm back on my shows now so I wanted to get all this out of the way as its back to work week.
Right! Carnival Mon I was on a serious high, I couldn't come off it when I had gotten home. Carnival Tues morning was slow and painful but the afternoon picked up a bit, but I'm sure that it would have been a better day had we had the time or opportunity to cross the Savannah 'stage'. Yes it made some difference not having a climax and I think that was missed by me at least on Tues. The foreshore jump was great, but for a las lap it was over all too quickly, even though my feet were grateful. As long as I'm hearing the music all is well, take that out of the equasion and = pain and tiredness. It was Me, Destra- Signs, and IP male masqueraders on the foreshore yes and Tribe ones too ;-) oh my word carnival Mon yes Lawd I could only giggle. And I have come to the conclusion that I need to open a Crop Over fund, I have to go see me some bajans *cough cough* correction I have to go experience the Crop Over festival.
Let me not forget to mention the state my chest is in. I'm officially a scabbo lol! Nowhere else got burnt except my chest and boobies. I have tan lines from my bra top on the road but wheey the chest is hideous!
Besides the QPS thing, my other complaint with Tribe is that even though we love the security, sometimes it overshadows the masqueraders. And it was hard to try and jump behind or even alongside the trucks at times. the sections should be behind the trucks not alongside unless stage crossing or for drinks/food. It ended up half the section on one side, half on the next and a lack of conformity. Plus when you chook up on the side you get stuck inbetween trucks not knowing what to wine to. And that is important.
Note I did not have my camera on the road as I said before. My husband who was observing mas from the savannah took pics and because Tribe didn't cross on Tues there are no Tribe Tues pics. But if you're an Island People masquerader it would be worth you having a look to see if you're on my album as there are loads of IP pics from Tues.
I have tried to narrow them down believe me the Tues folder was 500+ pics alone! There are so many beautiful people (male & female), costumes, funny antics etc that I wanted to keep alot of it. So please persevere and enjoy! BTW Red Ants J'ouvert pics will be up at some point but wasn't taken with the digital and will have to develop them, then scan.

Fete Pics
Pics from Bacchanal Wed, Tribe Thursday & Girl Power are up. They're only really pics of the performers.
If you look at Bac Wed pics you'll see how Destra went on to perform to her usual best after 'said' incident. I don't see why everyone was making a fuss about her att, how would you feel getting hit with one of those foam things while performing? Anyway slight blip, but she continued to mash up de place - haters away!
Bacchanal Wed pics here
Tribe Thursday was my prize fete as I was having such a good time I lost my cell phone going 'down de road'. There was no jamming where I was infront of the stage and my husband and I thoroughly enjoyed ourselves when I tell you. They had big bouncy balls going through the crowd, and red devils or jab jabs whatever you call them blowing fire. Curtain crew roll call and who knew that mystery man could put down verse? I love meh boy Iwer. Imij put on a fantastic show as expected, they have some talent in there and we love de Ghetto Flex right! Etc Etc it was real good! who miss loss yes!
Tribe Thurs pics here
Girl Power- Just do it
Bep Bep Bep and expensive drinks. I said this already. I was too tired to really enjoy it so much which is a shame. But it would have been really good if I had the energy. I mean you know what Machel is do to people and I just couldn't make.

Kiddies Carnival pics
I'm uploading my kiddies carnival pictures presently. They're obviously partial towards the band my son was in - Spoilt Rotten but I've put them in a seperate folder. I wasn't the photographer this carnival or this trip for that matter. My husband seems to have done an ok job getting alot of the other bands and individual costumes. I haven't seen Gerard Kelly's presentation in the pics, which is a shame as it looked spectacular in the flesh. Obviously Rosalind Gabriel sections were beautiful (I still stand by my decision to have my son play with Spoilt as I didn't like her section for his age but all the older sections were fantastic).
The Red Cross competition in Jean Pierre complex consisted of more waiting than playing. Adam Smith through St. James was pretty good and I can't say that I noticed any kids looking tired etc. Sunshine snacks was a hard day, which reflected in the numbers for Downtown the next day.
Enjoy the pics

Its all over now
I'm back in England now. I wonder if anybody else has returned to foreign lands yet?
I really had a time in Carnival and I was peeved that Tribe last lap finished so early as I had just gotten my second wind of energy. Carnival Monday was THE BEST! Had to change from cute shoes to comfy shoes for Carnival Tuesday though. Wished we went around the savannah on Carnival Tues but ah well.
Red Ants j'ouvert put me off j'ouvert from now on, it just wasn't as good as last year. Should have stuck to the sunnysideup plan. Live and learn.
The Carnival has caught up with me finally I am in desperate need of sleep.
Went to Tobago on Ash Wed to get my curry crab which was as succulent as ever. And we even managed to go to the reef the next day.
I bought 2 soca compilations before I left from Just Cd's - so its legit, but unfortunately whatever I didn't get will be pulled from the internet. But I'd love to buy a Destra cd if I can get hold of one.
2008 Carnival isn't completely ruled out but I think if I did I will only do the last week of carnival.
I'm currently holding a slobfest. This involves alot of snacks that I brought back from Trini and watching shows all day long. This is my distraction from getting homesick. I will be left alone.
Work on Mon, I'm going in from 11am finish at 2 how lovely!

Collection last night
Allyuh I in the same boat with the big belt just trying it on for my mother to fix if she can. I collectd last night at Cascadia after 7pm as I was advised not go around mid afternoon. We got flagged past Cascadia and I had to park on the road it was still busy. All the staff were cool and to pull the line outside, they guided us upstairs to sit down, where we were kept entertained with a Tribe Carnival video, water and the vital supplies (Crix). Eventually got around to paying that took a while the longest bit. Got costume, they made me try on the bra to make sure it fit good. I having issues with that bikini bottom dread it a bit skimpy but I get a good pair of tights in Samaroos today. I abandoned the kiddies carnival just to go get some. Man I could get on bad in them cause they holding in firm and nice. So thank you too all you mentioning Samaroos nough so that it stuck in my head to check it out. I think they're open tom again and I'm going to check them for another pair now that I'm happy with that one.
I'm out, dying now.
I'm out, dying now.
$20.00 for OJ ? nah man
I was in GP last night Saucy but aye! Was with husband. And like you, after doing the 'cute' thing 2 nights in a row couldn't deal with the foot ache nah I went in slippers, tube top & jeans. The husband don't drink alcohol.We went to get chits to get water and an orange juice. We asked for the min amt - $20. Gone across by the bar and they bawling $20 for orange juice!?!?? come again? Even my tame husband said instantly "you're joking aren't you?" My girl went back and check $20.00 yes. He is there asking if that sounding right to me. In the end I said just get it and done, What we go do? We in the people party till Lord knows when.
I had parked up by the Savannah and wanted to go check to see how the car was as it was a little pressuh for parking last night. The scanning your face thing I was quite impressed with. Anyhow it had a carnival vendor setting up his bar right where we were parked. That was real nice cause we got a couple of drinks, potato chips and sat there on the bench for almost 1/2 hr just chilling.
Destra& Naya, Kes & Nadia MASH UP! Like they have done everytime I've seen them so far. What is the Flavor Flav thing about? that woke me up for that little 5mins there yes. Now when they said the fete was to finish at 7am I know I couldn't make, but I also knew as Destra already performed that it could only mean one other person was going to be shutting down the party. I feel so bad and ashamed that I couldn't handle it to stay. When I bought the tickets I didn't even know who was performing. I vex with myself a little bit. But my consolation is that once you've seen a band perform once or twie you've seen it all.And listen nah, kiddies carnival band met up for 8.30 this morning.
Last night was the only night so far that I ain't leave the place wet from head to toe. That "down de road" ting is scandalous yes oui- I real enjoyed it in Tribe Thurs. We get on badda than bad in fron that stage Thurs night. I stil find they overdoing the 'we going so' business. Lost my cell phone all kinda ting in the madness. Loss it or somebody raff it cause it had people holding on to the bam bam 'going down de road'
From Wed night- Fri night was a constant 4-5am reach home thing and up before 10am. I jumbie!Suffering!bitching! But was that radio goes on and the soca start I fix!
We on the home stretch now and I hope everyone is having a FANSTASTIC time.
My fetting done now. Its carnival Sat today and i'm cool to just rest up till j'ouvert morning with RED ANTS. See you on the road or by Crobar tom

How could I forget
Last minute decision I'm going to play j'ouvert with my husband. I'm scrapping the sunnyside up. My eyes feel ok now, I'll protect them as best as I can. See you fellow red anters there.
Pre-departure blog
Tomorrow morning I will be off. 5.30am leaving house. AHHH! When we land my first priority is to get some tasty Trini food.
I ain't pack yet, none of us have but I know in my head what going on with wadrobe so it wouldn't take me long. I am not crazy. Today last day of work I think I'm looking foward to getting out of there more than looking foward to Carnival itself!
The show 24 has taken my life hostage I am sad to report lol. And I've seen 3 men from Desperate Housewives in there so far (Rex, Carl, Lynette's ex-boss) wierd.
My objectives today : deal with pain (its that time), Do no work, pick up son from school say goodbyes, make my way through 2 more episodes of 24, eat dinner. Start packing.
I can't belive I'm going to be there tomorrow, its giving me goosebumps as I think about it. Its gone a little colder here again so I've greatful to be fortunate to run away to some hot sun. Trini I miss you, I'm coming home.
I've already started in the works Christmas in Trini 2008.
After collecting costumes on Fri, its kiddies carnival on the weekend. Before I reach late for work and I'm already tempted not to go Lord knows.
Bloggers see you soon...
Icahwait over and out!

Less than 1 week to go
Oh gosh my weight anything has failed. Not where I'd like to be or close, could make a dent this week if I really really tried.hmmmnn
Went out mexican last Fri, and last night went to the pub for kickboxing gathering. I think I've just been eating heavy, later than I would usually. Not to mention I'm getting that monthly visitor next week. I am not impressed.
Have been to the gym this week again, and I really worked the stairmaster boy. If you see meh! Had a really nice work out and finished up with some abs and stretching.
But that was Tues.
Found out from kickboxing people that our Wushu class on Thurs was stopped- gutted. And I will definately be going back once I return from Trini.
Seeing as the O.C is finishing at the end of this season, I've replaced it with 24. Addicitive show dread I've been staying up late watching several episodes a night. Making my way through series 1.
that is me. next thurs...ahhh

It soon come
For those of us who aren't in Trinidad already celebrating, the time will soon come. I know there are a few of us flying in on the same day, less than 2 weeks to go now.
I got my fishnets today and my shoes earlier in the week. I know what fetes I want to go to. And I keeping my waistline in check,every so often go and wine in front the mirror with the ipod. Even my husband went shopping for some shorts. Got more or less everything my mother ask me to bring for her. And I done place my food orders for when I arrive too. We getting there, almost ready. Listening to soca919 as we speak.
I noticed things real slowed down this last week in terms of blogging.
I am ready to take a break from work already I fed up of inside there and that didn't seem to take long. Watched Rocky this Wed gone - besides all the yapping I liked the film. How he had the constant play of the soundtrack in the background (fast, slow, intrumental anyhow you like it) and then during the fight the flicker between colour and black/white for some of the shots was really cool. After the film went into a pub and one of my friends said about the Caribbean Restaurant across the road. I went into get some saltfish fritters. The owener is a Trini lady who was last back in Trinidad back in 89/90. She says her peleau skills are getting better. Well do I need to say what them saltfish fritter tasted like I could barely taste the saltfish. Nevermind! We had a nice chat anyway, lovely lady.
Fri night went mexican with the family man that was filling. Between 3 & 3.30am I was just walking around as I couldn't sleep properly with that full belly nah. Drank lots of water and got another pillow so I was kinda propped up,which helped.
Next week will be a little busy too. Film to see is Apocolypto. Will try and fit Smoking Aces in before I leave.
Have a good weekend

Desperate Housewives
For anyone who watches this show - when are Carlos & Gabby going to get back together. They're hooked on each other more than ever. Its frustrating dammit. arggh!

Gymming tonight
I had an induction earlier this week. I can't do my normal kickboxing & wushu just yet and probably won't be able to till I get back from carnival. I haven't done any 'formal' exercise since about 2 weeks before christmas.
Besides trying to do some last minute toning and weight loss in the gym I like to know that I exercise on a regular basis.
My running partner is behind this one and we're going together. Should be interesting.

The Eyes
Buublenut your comments are much appreciated. Karabana its not as bad as it sounds lol.
I can't say I feel that I've had a big issue with dryness. There were times last week where I'd put the drops in and they'd water so much and sting a little for a minute or two. The redness on my left eye from the clamps is fading. My right eye looks completely normal anyway. And Buuble I do wonder what people make of me when they see me in the ladies pulling at my eyelids getting them drops in. I don't even flinch anymore.
Saturday I had my check up. I was advised that everything is healing normally and looking fine. She did another eye test and again they said it was better than 20/20 even though I don't feel so. I can read the lines but it was hazed a little. Which she explained because of the dryness, the clarity of vision tends to come and go.
She still said to avoid water going in my eyes but I can wash over them closed. I'm no longer sleeping with the goggles. Was real glad to get rid of them.
Sat night I had to go out of town and driving in the night was NOT a good experience. It was raining taboot. The kind of drizzle that blows off and on too. I was squinting the ENTIRE way home and my eyes/muscles around my eyes were hurting me a little by the time I got home.
But good news today is the first day that I felt normal. i didn't have the urge to keep putting drops in (but did at intervals anyway). Also didn't feel the difference in my left and right eye vision either. No strain with lights at work and pc. Not feeling the eyeballs moving about. So I'm hoping I'm entering the good stage where I'm going to start to enjoy it now. 1st good day.

Ketchup
I on my last dregs of Mabels ketchup as of yesterday. You know when you have to put that little bit of water in the bottle and shake it, cause it can't flow out. How soon is the flight again?
I like my ketchup a little sweet that is why you would never find me with acidic Heinz ewwww. Heinz just don't cut it. I like my little trini ketchup that will never change. When I can't have my ketchup I rather use bbq sauce. Any fast food place I go into, "you have any BBQ suace?"
I got over the crix thing. Still bring back loads when I go. Nothing here could rival it. Nothing
Found a reasonable tasting hotchocolate at last - Iceland own brand. I like to just add hot water no milk. But I still buy some when I go home esp with marshmellows
Orchards I still miss - I love all the single flavour Orchard drinks. Run through that like crazy when I home. But you learn to live with out it inbetween
But the ketchup will still remain. I hate when my ketchup done. The other things I know will always be short lived.

Oh gosh David is moving from the close proximity of Europe to LA. :-(
Yes i like the Beckhams.
Hopefully he'll get to shine one last time before he has to retire with this move to LA Galaxy. I was sad that he had to leave his 1st love, but glad he leaving the english fans/media 'build em up, knock em down' mentality. Steupse its flipping disgusting esp that its the only culture they seem to have is football? You'd think they'd be supportive and embrace talent at ALL times.
His initial move to Real Madrid just secured his legend status. Have you seen their team? H-E-L-L-O! I shouldn't have to say more. Gutted that he's moving away from that and exiting on a bit of a temp low. But I don't follow club football anyway
There are less than a handful of names that would keep me interested in english football. I'll always have the Italians. And then there's Port, Deu, Esp - Fra & Che in that order. Eng would come after them.
Euro cup 2008!
With no initial plans for me to go to carnival in 2008. I'll be occupying myself with this instead.

It looks like from the previous post that I won't play j'ouvert after all. Gutted!
Well what started it was the worry about my eyes first of all which Buuble made me think of.
Then once I looked at the fete the Sun morning, kiddies during the day. I don't really want to be rushing to take paint off and still have half on and trying to leave the house to go play meh pretty mas. And that will also involve no sleep till Mon night.
Gutted you guys. But its practical. My eyes don't feel fantastic yet. Still trying to be hopeful. Buublenut was it like this for you? I have my check up Sat afternoon. Buuble if you could remember how long it took you drop me a line girl. I trying not to be paranoid and desperate lol.
