LIFE OF A JAMAICAN GIRL

The 17EX which travels the route of Greater Portmore to Cross Road in Kingston, Jamaica is on trip I anticipate and count on each day. The driver Mr. Mateland with his very welcoming smile beaming as you approach ( Hope I got the spelling right :-) ).  His professionalism and driving skills are one to be admired but when he takes the microphone to welcome the passengers to the 17Ex  followed by his scripture of the day is a great start for a new day. Then the music played for the rest of the journey got me singing all day. Keep of the great job!!!!

Today is marked around the world as the first day of Summer. Summer according to Wikipedia is the warmest of the four temperate seasons, between spring and autumn. At the summer solstice, the days are longest and the nights are shortest, with day-length decreasing as the season progresses after the solstice. The date of the beginning of summer varies according to climate, culture, and tradition, but when it is summer in the Northern Hemisphere it is winter in the Southern Hemisphere, and vice versa. However with the mention of summer all of the below starts popping in my head: 1. Beach 2. Barbeques 3. Sun 4. Friends & Family 5. No school 6. Vacation 7. Pools 8. Parties 9. River 10. Ice cream 11. Snow Cones 12. Picnic 13. Sailing 14. Water parties 15. Drinking ( although not a fan) 16. Road Trip 17. Jerk Festival 18. Sumfest 19. Summer Camp So whatever summer brings for you be safe while enjoying the sun.

When Adam and Eve noticed they were nude they chose to make clothing from the plants around them as they were ashamed of their nudity. Growing up I never saw my mom exposing herself to the elements of nature and for the viewing pleasure of every and everyone. So I beg to wonder have, the women of my society today "shame tree died". When have we become so shameless that we are willing to walk the streets in little to nothing. Women, we needed to let men blood boil within their veins and yet still be a lady. Remember the streets aren't your bedrooms. Yet these women who parade themselves this way wonder why they cannot find a husband. Most men even if they don't want to admit to it "want a lady in the streets and freak in his bed". Yes, he will be eyeing you in the club and rubbing up against you, but admit it all that is go through his mind is will I get to hit this tonight. Have you ever wondered why a man would date a girl who "wears no clothes" ...

In an article of today's Jamaica Observer entails "Minister seeks public support for smoking ban"  the Health Minister Fenton Ferguson has called for public support and understanding as he moves to institute a ban on smoking in public spaces. This I am in full support of as studies have should the major effects of second smoking on the body. Here are these individuals who have decieded to shorten their life span and to get me invole in their death wish. According to the latest WHO data published in April 2011 Lung Cancers Deaths in Jamaica reached 392 or 2.17% of total deaths. The age adjusted Death Rate is 16.17 per 100,000 of population ranks Jamaica #78 in the world. So if there is one thing we can do to reduce this staticis I am all for it!!!!

I miss the old days when guys would actually "want" to date you before wanting to jump into bed with you. How can you just meet someone and all you want to do in get into their pants? You don't know anything about this person or what you are getting your self into. With all that is happening in today's society. And dating doesn't mean us just talking via skype, Facebook, Whatsapp, BBM, Twitter or any other society media. We need to hang out physically not virtually so we can really connect. And please don't let the first thing out of your mouth be something about sex. That we come afterwards based on my impression of you and how we connect. So lets just slow down and get to really know each other .........

Office Romance This is a very strong topic that will have persons who are opposed and  argue that romantic attachments disturb the equilibrium of the workplace, interfere with professionalism, and unnecessarily confuse work and pleasure. While other will this see it as love can be found any and everywhere. I have always been of the strong belief that I cannot get into a relationship with a coworker, and you know what kind of relationship I am talking about. I see it happens over and over again.And I wonder how can you separate your love or sexual attracts for this person see them basically 24/7. Wouldn't your blood be boiling inside and your heart drumming every beat each time they walk by and give you that smile that makes you melt. I have met many guys through my place of work that I have really had the hots for. But the thought of a relationship affecting my work environment is a strong factor. I am sorry but I do flirt a little and after I am human. Bu...
