Never travelling American Airlines

I am never travelling American Airlines ever again. They are not something special in the air. Let me tell you what happened and then maybe you can tell me if these things happen to you too or if it’s just me. Due to the strike I had to fly back this summer through American Airlines. […]

"A can’t take it no more"

Alright I’ve had enough. Remember Higher Learning well if anyone hears about me climbing some tower and shooting someone you’ll know why. It’s not race, oh no, because once snow and breeze a blow we are all white. Let me tell all a unno a little story. Christine was a young girl who dreamed of […]

Schoolwork

My mother always told me not to complain about the amount of schoolwork I had because it would always get worse. I never really paid a lot of attention to that because I always felt that I had a lot of work and nothing could top it. Until last week when I realised what a […]

Jamaican accent on tv or in the movies

I don’t know about anyone but any time I hear a “Jamaican accent” on tv or in the movies I start to cringe and slink down in my seat. I mean it’s because of these portrayals that people ask me where I learnt to speak english so well when I open my mouth and we […]

Infuence

Have you ever realised how much someone can affect your life without them even knowing it? I realised this over the weekend that while someone can be completely oblivious to what they’ve done they have in some way affected you in a way you will never forget.

Is Jamaica still Friendly

Ginger Ale

Last Friday I went to a party where I opened a bottle of Ginger Ale only to be wearing the contents of the bottle as soon as I turned the cap. Little did I know that that is going to be the theme of the whole weekend. That Sunday I was going on a whale […]

Tourist Sites

Have you ever noticed that if you live in a country you don’t tend to visit any of the “tourist” sites because they’ll always be there and as a born and bred member of the country you have all the time in the world. Well, over Christmas because we had a friend from Sweden visiting […]

You complicate my life

A dear friend of mine always says “Christine, tus complique la vie” (You complicate my life), I apologise for the spelling, it’s probably wrong. I don’t think it’s just her life that I complicate. I recently began taking diving lessons and, as in all things, I make things a little more interesting. First of all, […]

Barbados

Well, I went diving for the first time in my life today. I mean, we won’t get into the fact that it was only yesterday that I went snorkeling for the first time but I went diving today. We didn’t go very far since it was our first time but it was so amazing. Never […]
