I went to watch Taken3 at the cinema today (well, yesterday). The fact that I haven't seen the first two is neither here nor there. The point is I went.
The website meetup.com has been a blessing. I came across a meetup for a trip to the cinema and I thought it was great because it was so close to me.
As usual I umed and ahh-ed about going. I was adviced to buy my tickets before hand to guarantee getting a ticket.
I did try to buy them online but something went wrong. so I decided to just buy a ticket at the cinema. It was all good turns out only two people actally came (as in one other person). Also there were not even up ten other people in the cinema.
The film was good I liked it, it was jam-packed

Christmas 2014
This year was slightly different to previous
years. We all went to Liverpool, which we have been doing for a couple of years
now because my brother and he's family moved up there. We usually leave
after a few days or so. This year we were there for 10 days.
The
day before we were meant to travel my mum went out to run some errands. I
wanted to get as much sleep as I could (I predicted I wouldn't get much sleep
on the train).
3:00am
the next morning getting ready to leave at 5:30am. Just as my mum was about to
call a cab our next-door neighbour (well opposite neighbour) offered to take us
to the station, Amen.
We arrived at the station with time to spear. Apart from my sister's usual argument...uh I mean debate about how my mum takes too much stuff with her. , and my mum's debate/argument that we will need it. Our train left the station on time 7:07am on the dot.

We
arrived in Liverpool around 9am ish the weather was cold, surprise
surprise.
That
was the 24th of December
What
do the Oluwatobis do on Christmas?
Well,
for some people it starts with the cooking. For me it starts with sleep, and
then I wake up wait for the food to be ready, eat and then pass out. I must
point out the food was amazing White rice, Jellof rice, Roast potatoes, Ribs,
Mac and cheese...ect ect ect.
Boxing
day
Some
of us went out to get some last minute gifts. My Mum brought the usual PJ's
gift for everyone. She brought the girls PJ's that read 'Follow your dreams' on
the top. When we were done it started snowing and it didn't stop until we got
back home and a few hours more. I helped my mum to wrap the presents and when I
was done we gave them out.
I
got the opportunity to visit The Potters Church in Liverpool (twice). My
brother is a Pastor there. My brother said that there is not a day that goes
by that they don't have at least one person turn up for service.

Yoga meditation
Friday I went to a Yoga meditation class in Dulwich library.
As usual I was uming and ahing. I didn't want to go because of...reasons.
This class meets every Friday and it's free. So there's 2 cons right there,
bonus it's so close to me.
I woke up tired and decided it would be ok if I went next week. But I couldn't get Gods voice out of my head telling me
"Just go, you won't regret it"
4:30pm, I was out my house. Got there with time to spare. And no I didn't regret it.
To be honest I wasn't sure what to expect. I mean I know nothing about meditation, full stop.
They talked about you're inner self and not letting the bad stuff effect you.
You know sometimes it's not easy to stay positive. You can be the most positive person in the world, but negativity will always seep through.
I'm so glad I went. Because when the teacher was explaining how meditation worked all I kept thinking to my self.
'Yes, that's exactly what I want. It's exactly what I need. This will help me'
You can't control how the world acts to you, but you can control how you react to the world. Like the saying goes
'Sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me.'
So that's where I am. I never thought I'd be a person who meditates. But I can't not I have no good reason not to. All I need to do now is remember to meditate every day...hummm I wonder how I'll remember to do this every day. The thing I always use to remind myself to do something, alarm on my phone.

Embrace the real you, don't ever let someone tell you can't.

Tea walk
I had seen other walks advertised on meetup.com, Ghost walks, Tour of London...etc etc.
I knew that if I was going to go on one it had to be for something I loved.
So when I saw the tea walk I thought...yes this is perfect.
Typically British my whole family drinks tea in bucket loads. Ever since I can remember the drinking of tea has been in my family.
I remember fasting in the morning before church when I was a kid and the breaking the fast with tea and fruits.
The walk started off badly because I forgot to print out the address and was early I got lost.
I walked around in a circle for a while, I thought I was never going to find this meeting point. Just when I had given up and decided to go home I saw Lera I reconsidered her from her picture.
We started with some tea tasting and ended with in a tea house in Liverpool street.
I actually never knew that theses places existed I thought it was just coffee.
I enjoyed the talking part of the walk more than the walking. I think it's ridiculous on my part that I'm a Londoner born and raised and I didn't know any of this.
All in all it was a brilliant day I enjoyed looking at the pictures of the past and comparing them to today. The weather wasn't too bad just a bit windy but, living in London you expect that.
The walk took about 4 hours but to be honest I didn't really notice that, I didn't check the time I was having too much of a great day.
I would definitely recommend anyone who loves tea and wants to revisit their passion for tea or even if you just want to learn more about London (tea wise).
Even through my family loves and drinks tea, I've never tried the ones we tried on this walk. I will definitely look into drinking look into drinking more of this type of tea.
I will be coming again maybe next time I'll bring my mum I think she'd really enjoy it.

Through the eyes of you're peers (Poem)
There's this girl in my class.
I don't know why I'm talking about her.
I just need to get it off my chest.
She never speaks
I mean as far as I know she's capable
Far as I know she's not restricted.
She's just lazy.
I think the only time I hear her speak is when our teacher takes the register.
Our teacher tells us the lesson and this girl still won't speak.
She doesn't understand any off it yet she'll just say nothing.
Our teacher has to psychically walk over and explain it to her.
Like I said, lazy
It's none of my business I know.
She's not even one of my friends.
I just find it frustrating.
If she just made an effort and stopped being so lazy her life would be so much better.

What took them so long
Went back to 'Loose women' today and all I can say is it's about time. Coleen Nolan as head chair, yes please more of that. In all the years I've watched this show I've always wondered why this hasn't happend before. I thought she did really well, even though she was really nervous inside it didn't show. she was her usual funny self and she didn't mess up once. I hope this isn't a one time thing.
I used to love 'Steps' so Clare Richards was a nice surprise. Jane was great as usual and Nadia was very funny

Getting back to things you love
Yesterday I went to watch 'Loose Women' at the London Studios in Waterloo. As usual I went back and forth about going. I woke up at 10am and got out my house at 10:30. The journey was going to take me about an hour. I could have taken another bus that would have taken me 30 minutes, but I decided to take the first bus no matter what if I'm late, I'm late.
I made it in the nick of time
The show was great and very funny. The topics were interesting and the panel looked beautiful. I've actually been to watch shows in a studio (BBC studios, Fountain studios...etc etc) a few times, so many times I've lost count.
To be honest I haven't watched 'Loose Women' in a while, probably about the same time I went to a TV studio which was about 4 years ago.
The thing I love about watching shows at TV studios (apart from it being free) is it feels like the first time every single time I go. I still look at it with the same amazement I did the first time I came to a TV studios (which was 'Celebrities under pressure'). I laugh at the same jokes from the warm up guy, even though I've never seen this warm up guy before.
