Hi Guys!!

How has your weekend been thus far? I personally can’t believe it’s already over *bawls*

Don’t you just love reconnecting with people from your past?! I don’t know about you, but I know I sure do. On Wednesday off last week I had a chance to hang out with an old friend of mine from high school. I was uber excited because I hadn’t seen Mariysa in what seems to be forever. It was the perfect opportunity for me to see what she had been up to since we had last seen or spoken to each other. Prior to leaving the house, I recall mentioning to Jason that Mariysa was my best friend in English class, Lol! This was somewhat an unofficial title that we had given each other, which stuck with me.

On route to our meeting destination, I wondered if she even remembered all this stuff. Sure enough at dinner, I got the answer to that very question or thought, when she finally mentioned it!! *big sigh of relief* It turns out I was not the only one holding on to this memory from high school. As we sat there in Olive Gardens eating, reminiscing on old times and catching up on that’s which we have encountered in our new lives, it felt like no time had pass between us and we were back in English class once again, talking and sharing secrets whilst preparing for CXC.

All in all, it was great seeing Mariysa once again. I never thought in a million years that I would, and the moment I did, I enjoyed every moment of our get together. From this, I leave with you this thought. ‘Live your life well and treat the people in your life with love, such that when you see them again, you can look back and there will be nothing but fun memories’.

Hey Guys!!!

What’s on and popping? I know, I know, it’s been awhile, *hangs head in shame* however, I’m here with a great post for you today. What better way to start the week than with a food feature?! Yum!! *grins*

Sometime ago, Amelia decided to treat me to lunch being that we had planned on visiting the ‘Mall at Millenia’ and would have been there for some time. After much debating over where to go, the decision was made to try ‘Brio Tuscan Grille’ which we both have never been before. As taken from their website, Brio invites you to gather with friends, family and co-workers to experience the flavours of Tuscany without leaving the country. Bringing the pleasures of the Tuscan country villa to Orlando, their chef-inspired Tuscan recipes are sure to tempt your palate. How tempting does all that sound?! I was extremely delighted to partake in their dining.

After looking through their menu, I decided to get the Grilled Chicken Club. This mouth-watering and savoury sandwich comprised of applewood bacon, lettuce, tomato, provolone, roasted tomato mayonnaise, and was served with house made chips for a total cost of US$11.85. I must say that this was THE BEST grilled chicken club I’ve ever had, and I say that with absolutely no reservations. It was amazing!! It tasted soooooo good ... I hardly believe there are enough words to explain, and even if there were, they would do it no justice, Lol! Amelia on the other hand, had a Margherita Flatbread containing fresh mozzarella,vine-ripened tomatoes and fresh basil. This was US$12.15.

The service was top notch and I totally plan to visit again. I fully intend to find something else to fall in love with on their menu.

Hey Guys,

Since moving to the US, there have been numerous instances in which I’ve envisioned my return home. I missed the many familiar faces, island parties, white sand beaches, and just the fun pars with a few of my favourite peeps just to name a few. About a month ago, the opportunity presented itself for me to visit my beautiful island Jamaica, however, at that moment, it was for a less than glamorous reason. This reiterates the fact that not all in life is goes as planned, but hey, what to do but ‘go with the flow and hope for the best’. That’s been my motto, and it appears to have been working ever since. The decision was made to take the trip as avery ‘near and dear’ family member of mine was ill, and had to do surgery. How sad was that?! *sighs*

Having gotten over the initial shock, frustration, and depression over the entire situation, I must say, the trip turned out not to be such a bad one afterall. I got to spend the time with my ailing family member who is now doing much better might I add, as well as find time enjoy the some of the amazing amenities back home had to offer. For a moment there, I felt like a tourist in my own country being treated and chauffeured by all. (Lol, I am sure they will all kill me when they see this line) *grins*

I had taken a few snapshots of the trip that I thought I’d share with you. Hope you enjoy!!
