Valentine's Day

So the Famous Valentine's day is just around the corner. I've been seeing everyone hyped up about the day, girls shopping for new dresses, gifts for the lovers, surprises for their lovers and all what people restrict themselves to be a must be done on Valentine's day. I was asked almost 20 times who my Valentine will be and if I am celebrating it, well why not? It is a day to celebrate exchanged love, but does it really have to be a boyfriend or a husband that I celebrate it with? or must it even be the person you're in love with? I don't think so. 


I used to have the same mentality as everyone, that Valentine's day is to be celebrated with my loved one, the person I happen to be in love with but then I thought about it and I realized that if I'm celebrating a day that everyone should feel unconditional love for and my single friend is having a hard time coping through, I won't even be happy, would you? Sometimes we are not even in love with the person that we might be with so why celebrate such a special day with them only? 


The definition of Valentine's day is "To celebrated exchanged love". I think we all should be able to celebrate it with whoever we carry love or care for whether its a boyfriend, friend, mother, sister, brother etc, simply whoever you have love for. What am I doing for Valentine's day? I will be with my photographer & his camera shooting at a studio and afterwards I am having dinner with my beloved friends and family because those are all people that I love and heart unconditionally. 


If you are single on Valentine's day, No it is not a problem, or sad or what so ever others might tell you, call your friends, call your family and tell them you love them. Love is such a big beautiful word, and we are to share it with the world not one person in such a big world full of people that have all the love to give back. 


Happy Valentine's Day to you in advance =).  

SHOES!!!

2011 brought new features and duets in Fashion(Yes! Doesn't only happen with Music.) Just like Victoria's Secret collection for the Superbowl recently providing women with absolutely gorgeous jersey's ;).. I was searching around and found out that Converse and Marimekko have done their own magic on converse's new designs, check this out: 

Converse and Marimekko shoes for 2011 of 

Converse's design of footwear & Marimekko's print design.

I thought they did a great job. 

An interesting one that caught my eye very fast was the Tom Ford that was actually released last year yet not very popular online as its included in the collection of this year 2011! You think you've seen Fashion get awkward? well check this out: 

I would really love to know how this is suppose to be worn 

but looks like men will be having a blast of Fashin this year ;)... 

& One of my favorites of course put a smile on my face with this: 

When does Christian Dior ever disappoint us? 

That will be a "NEVER".. I am loving everything about it

yet I have seen this collection before at the 

Christian Dior Fashion show earlier this year. 

Gorgeousness!!

Entertainment Industry in Sudan...

Since the whole separation of Sudan idea came up and started getting popular, I heard more than 5 songs of Sudanese artists trying to express how they feel about but none got to me or touched me the way "Balad Elrejal" by Jesse Monster did. You know when you get goose bums listening to music that means something to you? I thought Jesse's song had the right words and the right melody to it. Check it out below.

Another beautiful, encourging achievement of someone I truly proud of  Wathig G Ali (1st Sudanese Actor to ever make it into Hollywood). I am so proud of this young man, I heard of him and saw him around facebook at a time then he made it into hollywood, PROUDLY SUDANESE! :) 

And another one that I am very excited about. She's about to take Fashion into a whole other level, Ajak whom moved to Kenya then Australia and recently featured in "New Faces" VOGUE ITALIA! Can I get an Amen? Absolutely gorgeous, I am very proud of how far she's gone so far, true African beauty, just how I love it. 

Check her out on Vogue "New faces" here: http://www.vogue.it/en/vogue-black/new-faces/2010/04/ajak

Those are the movements that have been making me smile so far, if you know any, do share :).

"South Sudan Oyeee" - 7th.Feb.2011

I even lost track of time of how long South Sudan suffered, forever and a day maybe? Well today the president of Sudan accepted separation, you might not know what it feels like but its almost a birthday back home by now. Are Southern Sudanese Happy? As far as I know its Independence day for us so YES! Do I agree with the decision made? Lets just say its the best decision that also happens to be the worst, South Sudan is better off on its own yet of course no one wanted it to end this way. 


The Glory goes to God 1st of all, then the one and only "Baba John Garang", I wish he was here to see this day actually happen, a day he fought for 21 years to make it possible and left us before he could see it. I believe today should be a dedication to the Great "Baba Garang" for no one fought this war more than he has and no one sacrificed as much as he did. 


I really hope the people realize and understand that this step a lot have shed blood, fought, sacrificed and died for. "We wanted it, we got it, lets treat it with care, dreams, hope and love".
