Right to Real Love radio, AGAIN!

As I said in my previous post I had the amazing opportunity to feature on a podcast with Jay Mayo! Well, I got the chance to feature on another podcast! It was so much fun.

This time was a little different, this time it was a group discussion. There were two other lovely guests on the show this time. It was great! On the podcast this time we discussed 'Why Kids Keep Secrets from their Parents'. A totally different topic compared to the last time I was on the show in December!

I really enjoyed being on the show this time, I received so much insight on why kids might keep secrets from their parents. It was great for me. I don't tend to keep secrets from my parents (that much) so it was nice listening to why it might happen. The two lovely guests on the show both had kids of their own, so it was fun listening to their previous experiences with their kids keeping secrets from them and how they handled the situation.

If have kids and are unsure on how to handle hearing secrets kept from you for a long time, I advise you to listen:

I hope this gives you guys as much insight as it gave me whilst I was recording the podcast.

Again, thanks Jay! I had so much fun!!

Sorry 4 The Wait 2 x Lil' Wayne

20th January 2015. Lil' Wayne made mixtape history. Again.

Wayne released the first Sorry 4 The Wait in 2011. The mixtape title was an apology from Lil’ Wayne for the fans for releasing his album late. It’s the same situation this time round, however Wayne’s record label Cash Money aren’t allowing him to release Tha Carter 5 which is why he produced and released Sorry 4 The Wait 2!

The track list for the mixtape was given to the fans before the tape was available to download.

I love the fact that Lil’ Wayne uses beats from very well known songs and makes them 10x better than the original song. He used the beat from ‘Coco’, ‘TrapHouse’, ‘No Type’, ‘Drunk in Love’, ‘Hot Nigga’ and a few more. All of which are well known with catchy hooks and Wayne still murders all the beats with his bars.

This mixtape got a lot of positive feedback on twitter. I didn’t see any negative feedback. I was one of the fan girls on twitter declaring how much I love him and how amazing his mixtape is – obviously. No shame.

I’ve noticed that on this mixtape Tune spits more about “where I’m [he’s] at” rather than spit about females. But, don’t get me wrong; he does spit about girls, a lot. As the majority of people know that Wayne and his ‘Father figure’ Birdman are having problems right now. Wayne took it to twitter to express his anger explaining to his 20+ million followers that he and his creativity are “prisoners”. When I first seen the tweets I thought he’d been hacked because he spelt simple words correctly and he never does that.

My favourite song from Sorry 4 The Wait 2 is Try Me featuring Mack Maine. I love the word play he has with the name of songs from other songs. “Tunechi what’s your fuckin’ problem? I got fuckin’ problems. Bad bitch on top of me, she started from the bottom.” Both songs that he referenced are Drake songs. I love it when he gets personal.

I will be blogging more. Promise.

Diwali, for everyone!

Diwali

dɪˈwɑːli/

noun

a Hindu festival with lights, held in the period October to November. It is particularly associated with Lakshmi, the goddess of prosperity, and marks the beginning of the financial year in India.

Diwali is a Hindu festival also known to fellow Indian's as 'Deepavali' also known as the 'Festival of Light' to everybody else. 

I've never been a big Hindu festival celebrator in the past, however growing up I've come to realise how fun, getting together with family and friends to celebrate festivals can be. This year I've decided to be as involved as I can with the festivities, to learn more about it, also for the nice food.

Mainly for the nice food.

I wanted to find out more about the festival for myself, I did some research and the more and more I learnt about Diwali I realised that it isn't just a festival for Hindu's, it's a festival that can relate to everyone who believes in what Diwali spiritually signifies. 

"Triumph of good over evil, of righteousness over treachery, of truth over falsehood, and of light over darkness."

I think as long as you believe in this way of thinking, Diwali can relate to everyone and anyone. Any religion, any race. There are a lot more ways to celebrate Diwali aside from the belief side of it, it's a fun festival, Rangoli patterns are painted outside houses and fireworks are lit to celebrate the Indian New Year, lamps and candles are lit and placed around the house.

Of course there more in depth meanings to Diwali, and it means a lot more to some people than others. In order to get ready for Diwali; houses are cleaned, certain foods are made and new clothes are worn. All of which work to my advantage, any excuse to eat and buy new clothes. 


The Festival of Lights.


All of the Hindu God's have different meanings, for Diwali Lakshmi, Goddess of Wealth are honored the most. Lamps are lit in and outside people’s houses to guide Lakshmi, Goddess of Wealth into their homes. Prayers are said to the Goddess in order for a successful year ahead. And I'm paying £9k a year for tuition fees, so we all know who I'll be praying to in the next few days.


I wanted to write this post for insight for myself as well as for others, I think it's important to share one another's festivals with each other, celebrating together is always more fun. And I can't stress how good the food is around this time of year.


Happy eating and Happy Diwali everybody!

So far... Not much actually.

First of all I'd like to admit how ashamed I am of myself for not updating my blog as much as I should. I told myself 'every week, at least one post every week', that motivation obviously wasn't enough. 

I thought I should update whoever views my blog about what I've achieved since my last post which feels like it was posted years ago...

I got into the University I wanted to get into the most, which to me was a massive achievement. The grades I got for my last year of my A Levels were not what I hoped for, after seeing them I thought I could kiss the idea of going to University, goodbye! Thankfully, I got into UAL. 

I am now a, Journalism (B.A. Hons) student studying in the Capital. Fabulous. 

I've not officially started my degree course yet, which, to be honest is super annoying. I've been living in London for a whole month now, and all I seem to have done is spend money, unnecessarily. Sad. I start my course properly tomorrow, however. I am so excited which is strange because I've never been excited to start any form of education. Maybe because I'm studying something that I truly want to do as a career, it makes me feel like I have a foot through the door to getting where I want to go. 

I guess that's all I've done so far, I thought I'd done a lot, but no.

I'll be sure to update my blog a lot more. If anyone is reading I hope I'm as entertaining as I like to be.
