Top Ten Songs of 2019 List: Carnival Edition

Are you tired of waiting as yet? Or is all the excitement and suspense leading up to the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH intoxicating? I prefer the latter! I could just hear the speakers blaring in my ears with all the sweet sounds of soca right now. It's one thing in a fete, but it's definitely something else on the road! So who's ready????!!!

I am no pan arranger or musical genius, but as a reformed non-fan (of soca music) here's my top ten soca songs for 2019!

10. Gyal Owner - All I have to say is, it's true.

9. Lost & Found (Preedy) - This song is real jones yes but i'm so glad that there are so many younger artistes releasing music this year!

8. Trending (Shal Marshall) - Issa bop!

7. Iron Love (Nailah Blackman) - Rel pan ting!

6. So Long (Nadia Batson) - This song grew on me.

5. Hookin' meh - I know this is a fave for everyone, but it's #5 for me.

4. Issa Snack (Nessa Preppy) - This is a bigggggggggg chhhhhuuunnnnneee fi di gyul dem!!

3. Famalay (Machel Montano, Skinny Fabulous & Bunji Garlin) - Seeing Machel, Bunji and Skinny Fabulous jumping up together literally for the first time for 2019 in Out in South was EPIC! The unity in this song was beyond supernatural.

2. Run Wid It (Mr. Killa) - True jab! And although there are laws preventing you from picking up something, and I mean anything, this song is crazy!

1. Savannah Grass (Kees The Band) - I don't care what anybody says, this song was a work of art. Every single thing was on point for this song. Lyrical content, vocals, the beat, the everything. Vibes so magical ♥

Special mention to Trinidad Ghost who have these young people going mad with Zesser! Lol.

What's you favourite soca song for the season?!

Date Night: Staying In Vs. Going Out

This is a short one! Don't forget Valentines Day is soon! I hope you have a great one filled with lots of sweet things. Such a day was created to tempt persons like me to steer away from our diet but i'm stronger than that. You will not defeat me this year sugar! It's quite possible couples may have a date night to celebrate Valentines Day and the restaurants will be filled. If you're into waiting for a table and you like going out much, then do you boo. But I prefer staying in. Basic, but whatever. I just like the whole idea of ordering the same food from your favourite restaurant (that you would buy if you go out) and having it in the comfort of your own home. Put the food on some nice plates, light some candles, throw some rose petals on the table, play some romantic music and have a nice dinner. You see it in the movies all the time and I know it seems corny and cheesy but have you ever had cheesy popcorn? It's a great combo! Ha! I really have t...

An Open Letter to Myself.

Wow! It's been a minute since I last posted on this blog and I am terribly sad that it took me this long to get back to something I truly enjoy doing. This entire time I was freaking out thinking what should be my first post for when I return? I didn't know exactly what to post and little did I know that the answer was sitting in my inbox for over one year.... I'm glad I'm back, though. I see Blogger has made some upgrades and what not. Anyway, back to why I'm here today. I usually send myself emails. I'm not sure if one would consider that as talking to yourself, but quite frankly, that's needed from time to time. And even if I was doing it for a while, it was confirmed as seemingly or somewhat normal when Golda Lee Bruce announced that she does it all the time, LOL. Phew! Anyway, let me just share what I sent myself, maybe me speaking to me will help you have the conversation you need to have with yourself. The subject of my email was "You'll Mak...

Dear Wanderlust, The Series Continues

" Travel makes you modest. You see what a tiny place you occupy in the world, " - Gustav Flaubert. Dear Wanderlust, The series continues....... Meet Kelsey and her beautiful daughter! Last time your eyes were glued to this blog, you read about a daring, young woman who gave her life wings and travelled all the way to Spain from a tiny speck on the world map, known as Trinidad. Now moving there on your own is a whole experience in itself, but what if you moved with your immediate family too? Would that make you feel less homesick with them there? Let's find out in this interview with Kelsey, who moved to Vietnam - from Trinidad - with her family. Yes, you read that correctly. V I E T N A M. 1. Location: Q. Where are you from originally and where did you move to? A. I was born and raised on the beautiful island of Trinidad and Tobago. As far as places to be born, T&T is as good as it gets. However, for a year now, my family and I have...
