KFC Vs JAPS

What really going on here ? Yuh wanna know why EVERY TIME I enter a KFC restaurant, I leave either PISSED or SOUR ? Well, It seems that KFC sees the need for a price increase and a service decrease. Lemme give yuh dis thing TRINI STYLE, ah fed up of KFC prices just sky-rocketing every BLINKIG time. O gosh, how Japs could give yuh ah better service, ah better taste and two bigger pieces of chicken with fries for $20.00 with garlic sauce that nice and thick. I AM NOT GOING TO ENCOURAGE KFC IN THEIR NONSENSEBlockquote src="http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif" border=0>E. I AM NOT GOING TO BUY KFC UNTIL SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THE PRICE.

KFC Snack Pack = $28.00
Japs Snack Pack = $20.00

DO THE MATH

Vote Of Thanks

Well, Saucy may not be feeling the carnival feeling but I am. As we head into the new year there are many things I am thankful and my list is as follow:



1) The gift of LIFE, without life, we would not be soo excited for the season(s) (Christmas and Carnival). We must thank God for us being here with each other to celebrate with each other what we enjoy doing.



2) Ronnie & Caro.. Yes, I am VERY thankful for them because without them, I would have never had the BEST experience on the road in the BEST costume. I KNOW that not only I can say that Ronnie & Caro did provide a GREAT experience no matter what people say.



3) Family.... Without them I would have NOTHING.... NUFF SAID

4) Saucy and Kris... Maybe I was RUDE in the past towards Saucy,but, I am really thankful for her. She was my inspiration for this blog.

Also people, we here in Trinidad AND Tobago are forseeing some bad weather patterns so to all my people BE SAFE

A Warm Welcome to Disney

The Picture says it ALL

Saturday in de air !!

So I am truly feeling the carnival bug BITING me (that is why I would love to see a band produce 'Too Much Ah Biting Insects with a section called Carnival Bug or Carnival Fever). I'll me heading down to watch some Intercol football and after, I think I will visit Rosalino Street or even Alcazer street !!! So until then, Have a Safe and enjoyable Saturday !

Sucessful Band... Tips to the band leader! Part 1

So it is a FACT that some bands do not make profit that they set out to make so never worry Captain Carnival is here with tips.



1. Choosing a THEME: It is a fact that a theme helps to create a VIBE on the public. Choosing a theme is REALLY important and also choosing the RIGHT one because you do not want a theme where you make 5 prototypes and yuh just can't vision the next 5, because it is IMPORTANT you stick to your theme and create a storyline.



2. Your LAUNCH: There are many factors you MUST consider when it comes to you launch, the mos important is the date. To ensure you get MAXIMUM media at the launch, DO NOT launch on the same day as another band !! WORSE YET if you are a small band like (Eg. Genesis) and you launch same day as a MUCH bigger band like Tribe. Models also help, ensure your models can WORK the costumes enough to have people wanting to register on launch night.

The Carnival Fever

Well I visited Ronnie&Caro's mas camp last Saturday and boy, we have really reached the stage and we just warming up to take band of the year !!!!! Go Green fronting is SOLD OUT and the female are NEAR SOLD OUT !! Smoke Pollution and Tsunami are also doing well in terms of sales BUT otherwise the others are also going FAST, some faster than others. So check my album out here @http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=2067195&id=1358735087. I just can't wait for March !!!! PALANCE

The Right Costume and Band

I have been away for the week all trapped up in the net called SCHOOL. While I was away, I realised that I needed to address a few topics but the more important one being choosing the RIGHT band and the RIGHT costume for you for Carnival Monday and Tuesday.The right band : TRIBE/Bliss and Island people is THE Teenie Bopper band, so if going for either note that there will be many youngsters. YUMA, is new and from what I see they have a mixed crowd. Ronnie&Caro is generally a band mixed up like, JUST the right mix of people and the BEST vibes.Spice is a mix aged, the age vary from 20-40. Harts if yuh aunty, uncle, nene and all wanna play, well yuh know where to go. McFarlane and Skulldugerry will attract the older peeps. Wee Int is just the wild and loose band yuh could get on WASSY . SO don't choose the band where D Crew is, choose the one that BEST SUITS YOU and yuh 10 cents. For a bigger and better variety if reviews, please check out Saucy at www.trinidadcarnivaldiary.com.

THE RIGHT COSTUME: Now, this depends on you, your body size and shape. Always watch EVERY SINGLE DETAIL on the costume, if possible go to the mas camp and enquire about what you are uncertain about. So I hope you use my advice as best as you possibly can, because I HATE to See people unhappy with the costume and the band they choose. After all you are paying your 10 cents. I personally recommend Ronnie&Caro for the BEST experience and the best costume. PLEASE email me if you have any other questions.

A GREAT Week to ALL

Well it is the start of a new work week and I will not be here so I wish you'll a SAFE and fun filled week. Please remember to keep God in your hearts and don't let people make your week spoil. So this is Blogger Boy saying PEACE !!

Priceee Sister is Missing.....Please Help

Famous Trinidadian comedian, Rachel Price sister is missing. This is what was posted on Facebook, please help Rachel...........

Rachel Price: My sister is missing. Her name is ALANA PRICE...she was last seen on Monday night wearing a green top & black 3/4 pants. She's Down's Syndrome and manic depressive and in need of her medication. ANYONE seeing her or knows where she is PLEASE CALL 350-0604...( no sympathy calls please).. ALANA is loved, wanted and needed at home...bless...

The Mass and Marse....

So for some time, it has been debated for a long while that we Trinis are forgetting our culture, but really and truly thais just talk...... It is the simple, some people want the MARSE (all covered up McFarlane) and some want MASS aka BBF(Bikini beads and feathers). What you want is what you will get so if i want just a board shorts I pay for it and if some ladies want BBF, they pay for it and if you want MARSE take yuh MARSE.. SO SIMPLE

I just HATE to hear people RUN THEY MOUTH like water and they talking utter none sense. I see all aspects of our culture DURING the Carnival season and on carnival Monday. It still have the Pan, the Jouvert, The Ole Time Characters, The Calypso and everything else. So think before yuh talk nah !!

Smoke Pollution Footwear finds

Again, there are some people who just prefer sneakers instead of boots for the road... LEAVE DEM NAH.... Doh Judge.... I found this pair of sneakers @jimmyjazz.com which can work well with Ronnie&Caro's Smoke Pollution. I actually wore the brown in those last year for Africa. So try them.........

D New Look

So I see meh boi Kris of TrinidadEvents.com well upgrade and fancy up, so I say time for we to get moving.. So yuh boi say he'll make the blog an image/logo/ whatever yuh wanna call it !! It Hot eh...... And from now, Is TRINI DIALECT on D' blog nah like meh friend wuzdescene.com..... Yeah man, is time to change up some things and I just reviewing things that could change during this LONG weekend in Trini..... So is Blog On D' Block: Teens to the world..... Next thing, I'm looking for some sponsors to pay for my website, anyone interested, email me at dispicable97@yahoo.com. It nice...... And yuh see d NEW backround to match d name 'On D' Block'.... Hmmm everything in a gear.

The Decision

So, 2011 looks like the year of playing mass !! I spoke so highly of my experience in 2010 with them (Ronnie&Caro) that EVERYBODY want to play, is auntie, uncle, cousin, mother, toot baggie want to play. My cousin (my age) and I are LOVERS of Guardian Angel, but the old folks are running for Fire on the Hills. I know my cousin don't change her mind that easy so both of us will be in Guardian Angel (I think), and well the old folks in ????

I also have to ask, which section allyuh like for Blogger Boy?

Between : Guardian Angel
Fire on the Hills
Tsunami
Global Warming
Go Green

LOVE ALL but I have more love for those !! Help yuh boy choose ....

Yuh boy went ZEN

Last night, Blackout hosted their event, Blackout3: the Saga Continues at the world famous ZEN (d' place where Akon was behaving). Yuh boy had no intentions of going inno but my friends say come and go. So I got excited when they say ZEN (in my mind RUM and more RUM), and start to get ready. When we reached ZEN, it was like 9:00 and the party was making baby steps. Say eleven, Poison sounds started to hype up d' place and then the party start. Yuh boy was in front (yuh know me) and he was handling the pelt waist some of those girls gave. The bar price was RIDICULOUS, a Red Bull was $30.00 so I say I drinking Orange juice ($10.00 a rounds). All in all, I had a rocking time. There was this girl who was sweaty and kept on throwing waist for yuh boy and some local whites who just could not wine (not discriminating). The Djs had to loud up some of the SOUR FACED GIRLS (it had many so I ended up SHARING a wine) who just stood up PRETENDING to look cute. I left like 2:30 am and for $120.00 the party was REAL good. Ladies PLEASE next time you go a party, MAKE SURE and pelt waist and not stand up sour.

Foot Wear Finds- Bushfire

So today, I decided to go with a sneaker that was tested on the road by my dear aunt. This is the Nike Air Max 2009 and it goes GREAT with Ronnie & Caro's, Fire on the Hills. I am not being bias on the bands that I choose to find footwear for BUT, I will be doing EACH section from Each and EVERY band !!

Picture from : http://www.airmaxshoes4u.com/

Footwear finds for the Guardian Angel

So, I am not a fan of seeing males in boots on the road came Carnival Monday and Tuesday. I do not say no but I personally don't like it. I also HATE to see people in they 'GYM SHOES', come better nah !!! For the youngsters, I will try to find you sneakers that are very comfortable and that match with the costume.

So I start with Ronnie & Caro's, Guardian Angel. It is my favourite section and I know, ALL bandleaders LOVE to see when masqueraders from their band, are well matched.

From http://www.shoesxx.com/, I got a White and Gold Air max 90's. I have a white with black swooshes/Nike ticks, and they are VERY comfortable once laced PROPERLY. If you want me to find you a COMFY pair of sneakers that match you costume, please email me @dispicable97@yahoo.com .

Ronnie & Caro The (Costume) Review

So, last night, Ronnie & Caro, presented Survivors. Trust me, them other bands have NOTHING on Ronnie & Caro....... Kris, attended on behalf of BOTH blogs and he took pics for us. The review, is basically how and what I like in a costume.







Guardian Angel : I LOVE this section, I see not a FAULT in it. I am actually convincing my mom to play in this section but she is not a fan of a white costume. Other than that GREAT COSTUME, love the whole idea of the section and I think this will be the Africa of the Survivors.

Fire on the Hills : Never enough heat in Ronnie & Caro, this section is TOTALLY on fire and may burn the whole of Port of Spain down, come Carnival Tuesday. The male has too much bib, but I think it is what some male want, after all they cater for EVERYONE.

Go Green : I think I going green with this one. I like the bush effect and the combination of greens used in this costume. Go green was also worn by Caro on the front of the Costume Booklet.

SURVIVAL OF THE MEXICAN AZTEC DANCERS aka The Guest section : This section is produced and designed by Ken Defratis. The costume is a really nice yellow, and I sure the sun will have a time. It is a WONDERFUL costume, and I think alot of thought was put into it, just by hearing the name.

Global Warming : What could I say, beside a beautiful BABY pink costume contrasted with gold ?

Tsunami : My mom's favourite and my second favourite (nobody could beat that Guardian Angel). This seems like it will surely sell out as fast as Guardian Angel. Definately a wonderful costume but I never see a blue costume I don't like.

Earthquke : I expected a dust grey colour from Earthquke or even Island People's fvourite colour, d' beige colour (yuh know what ah mean). After all, this looked great and maybe was inspired by Hati.

Smoke Pollution : The models worked this sections from the pictures I saw, and the SOLD IT right OUT. I like this costume and I'm sure it will be a hit.

Bird Flu : Neither here nor there with me, but it's pink, so the ladies will surely gravitate towards it.

Carnival : Lots of bands ain't SURVIVED carnival (RIP all the bands who died BTW whey Evolution and Skandal Us). Really nice costume and the male was really nice, I love the idea of Uncle Ronnie's signature accessory at Carnival time, his hat.

All in all GREAT presentation by Ronnie & Caro. All d' bad talk my band get, be sure to remember that they won Medium Band of the Year, three years in a row (since inception in 2008).

For the pics and section names, vistit Kris @http://www.trinidadevents.com/2010/08/ronnie-and-caro-post-band-launch.html

Macquaripe

If you read Afro Chic's blog, you may have seen the work which was done to Macquaripe. I for one was impressed by the pics, so after a few weeks of begging my parents to take me, today they did. Today was also some Dragon Boat Thingee, down Chagaramus.

The Good : They realy did TRY to restore some beauty into the bay itself

The Bad : The renervations were not copleted properly

The UGLY : An beach goer decided to bring his DOG, yes, DOG to take a dip in the salt, and it pissed me and ALOT of other people off and got EVERYBODY out of the water.

Ronnie & Caro in de Air

Here is a SNEEK PEAK thanks to Afro Chic and Kris who is down at St John's hall taking in the action from Ronnie & Caro's 2011, launch of Survivors !!

Look What I Found

Being me, you will explore and explore where a band came from. Ronnie and Caro was a section before being a band. The brought you sections like : River Dancers, Socoyant, Chutney, Soca Emeralds and maybe one other that I left out . They were by FAR the best section and made the others look like _____FLAT_____LINE__________/\\____.. So as they launch, I bring you a BLAST FROM THE PAST > River Dancers by Ronnie and Caro (the section).

Ronnie and Caro, we LOVE and Support you ALWAYS and forever.

Ronnie & Caro

I was away for a bit gearing up for school and the BEST BAND that will be launching at St. John's Hall later on tonight ! Can anyone guess who I'm talking about ? Well it is Ronnie & Caro, Medium Band of the Year, 3 in a row !! Did someone say HATRICK and MY FAVOURITE BAND ?? Ronnie & Caro will launch "Survivors" tonight, and a birdie whispered that the sections are HOT HOT HOT !! My boy Kris, will cover for the two blog, Trinidad Events.com and Blog On D Block: Teens.

In other news... TRIBE (the band that only have name) SOLD OUT !! When I tell you it have some SAD people out here... people CRYING and creating groups on facebook looking for TRIBE costumes all ready !! BIG STEUPsss.... F.Y.I people, there are people who buy over a dozen costumes JUST to sell it over on Carnival Junction or Find Ah Band. I sure, if you go down by TRIBE on Carnival Sunday, your tears will be dried. If not, there is a BETTER band than TRIBE named Ronnie & Caro.

So people, this is Blogger Boy saying check out Kris @Trinidad Events.com for LIVE updates from Ronnie & Caro's band Launch .. Same Vibe with NO TRIBE !!! Ronnie & Caro is Fun Fuh So ..

With just about 20 hours to go till Island people's presentation: Shades of the universe I am once again feeling the anticipation. This is a very interesting theme and I am eager to see their interpretation.

Island People's Sneak Peak

So after a whole day of waiting, here is what the aliens from Island People brought me.

..............................................................

The year is 2014, the earth has been destroyed by the hands of its inhabitants...mankind. One tiny island on the earth where carnival was the one activity that took them away from the troubled and depressing strains of their reality is also destroyed. However, the story does not end there, thanks to the brilliance of one gifted scientist, who in his wisdom saw the destruction coming, assembled a team to create costume designs to withstand the test of time and launched them into space in special pods into...the universe.His hope was that one day the costumes would be discovered by other life forms and if by chance any one man or thing survived the destruction, they would one day relive and restore what we knew as Carnival.

I think the name of the section is *Carnival*

Yes, I am loving it

but

Where is the male costume ?

YUMA Prices

Spice Website

I've Finally had the chance to look at spice's website .

http://www.spicecarnivalband.com

With the website and the theme I can finally see the costumes coming together. A far cry from my first impression from their Launch.

The site is interactive in the sense that one can "turn the pages" (tho that sound can get annoying) and somehow it reminds me of what was done for their first presentation"the missing ingredient"

All in all the site combined with the fashion magazine has brought together their presentation in a sense where i can understand where they are coming from with their theme "Signature collection" Best of luck to Spice on the road.

Back to School

So the beginning of the new school year is almost here. I am excited to see my mad ass friends back at Puna Sec. Today, since everybody thinks I will make a child first, I covered my little cousin's school books and labeled her stuff. I am SO excited because I am not going to buy a new Jan sport bag, but AIRBRUSH one of my two that I all ready own.


Airbrushing bags can make it look newer at a more reasonable price.

Back to school also means back to the waking up early to beat the traffic and encountering some DIFFICULT teachers. So what did YOU do to prepare for BACK TO SCHOOL for you or your children.

D Bakkanal

Well, I was reading the Chat Box where I saw Yuma's facebook question. This question had me and my family on the floor with laughter. YUMA, if rains fall on Carnival Monday or Tuesday there is NOTHING you can do beside JUMP UP. According to Destra, if the rain fall it better we more. What you will do YUMA, attach tapolin to the trucks, give us towels or even a hoodie. The best suggestion is Fletch Dry powder in our Goodie Bags.

The Question : Yuma Vibe YUMA's! How are we today? A little cold at the office with all this rain? Maybe you're at home wrapped up under your blanket with a cup of hot chocolate. Rain affects us all differently. But I think we can all agree that we hate it to rain on Carnival Monday and Tuesday. That being said, do you think that a Carnival band should make provisions for rainfall? If so, how?

NOW TO TRIBE: Our policy has always been to give our loyal masqueraders and past masqueraders preference in the costume sign-up process. All remaining costumes are then placed on sale to anyone who wishes to play, based on availability. It would be unfair for us to disregard our loyal masqueraders who support us every year.

DO YOU WANT NEW MASQUERADERS ??

All I have to say is THINK I EASY TO DEAL WITH!!

I am DONE

So I have had it, being back and forth with Trinidad Carnival Diary's chatbox owner. It is time to grow up and act grown. From now on, there will only be LOVE on my blog AND chatbox. It realy makes no sense pretending to be LOW CLASS children, when we have MUCH MORE CLASS than that. I realy wanted to join arms to create a Blogging Empire with TCD.com, but some people never think like Whitney. I believe the children are the future, teach them well and let them lead the way. So Saucy, ALL I ask of you is to just rest on the HATE, I did not create this blog for HATERID, I created it to IMPROVE my writing skills so I can use jurnalism to make money to fund my Piloting dream. So Saucy, are we going to grow up with class or FIGHT for the bottom class.

I LOVE you and the Chatbox natives Sauce.

Happy Sunday

Well Harts launched their presentation, Planet Rock yesterday at the Trinidad Country Club. Their website was up and running in RECORD BREAKING time, with all information except registration. Harts did a REALLY good job with those costumes. Harts is THE family band where granny, uncle, grandpa and EVERYONE else in the family can find a costume. So they got a five out of five swords from me in the costume aspect, their prices will be judged when they come out.

Also, Prince Namor of Trinidad Carnival Diary's chat box is not feeling to well so we ask that God puts a hand on Prince Namor.

Sunday Lunch was really tasty today so here is a taste.

Easy, Rainy Saturday

What is up with Saturdays ?? They are very gloomy and boring but luckily, Harts will be launching their 2011 presentation, Planet Rock. From the what I saw, I am continuously asking, who killed more Peacocks ? Well for live updates from Country Club, check out Saucy Sauce @ Trinidad Carnival Diary.com. Leaving you with a teaser.

The BIG Deal

So people I was away for some time and while away BACCHANAL just decided to have a time. Starting with TRIBE Registration, then a TEASER from Harts' 2011 presentation *Planet Rock* (between Harts and Spice i don't know who killed more peacocks) and the controversy that cause shock waves ALL OVER THE WORLD, Ms Trinidad&Tobago 2010, Ms Latoya Woods who is the MAIN purpose of this post.

It was ALL over the that Ms Trinidad&Tobago 2010, Ms Latoya Woods posed TOPLESS for an OFFICIAL Ms Universe photo shoot. This photo according to Ms Woods was done very tastefully, she also said that she was covered in latex body pain and her nipples were not visible. When I heard the news, I personally thought this was a next Anya Ayoung-Chee case, but when I saw the official picture had a GREAT steups. Now tell me, why did some people make this big deal out of it when Ms Woods was doing it officially for the Ms Universe franchise ? Also to mention, that she was not the only one. According to Ms Woods, BAD PUBLICITY IS ALSO GOOD, and I fully agree. Ms Wood I wish you all the best and I want you to know that we support you to the fullest.

I Won.. Kris is Going

So I won tickets to Island People's Band launch today but will be giving it away to Kris from TrinidadCarnivalDiary. Kris, If you see this PLEASE email me to get your ticket @ Blog On D Block's official email which is: dispicable97@yahoo.com. I will also send Saucy the details.

Good Morning My Dear Friends

Good Morning my dear friends, how was your Band launch filled weekend ? Did YUMA make you figure out your sign ? Or is Spice still making you feel sorry for their HORRIBLE Signature Collection ? Well well well, I will do a YUMA review, since all of their costumes indeed HOT, but Spice, well boy !!!!!!

So remember people, keep God in you heart and in your mind, prepare for a YUMA review and keep on coming to your Blog On D Block. Also check Saucy at TrinidadCarnivalDiary.com, for all the latest Carnival Info.

WTF Was Spice thinking ?

Now I am sooooooooo pissed about Spice's Signature Collection aka Spice's Signature Crap. It is the WORST thing I have EVER SEEN IN MY LIFE !!!! I just can't see all of Spice's patrons from previous years going back to this Signature Crap. Now don't get me wrong Spice, give us GOOD COSTUMES and we give you GOOD REVIEWS but Crappy costumes gives you CRAPPY reviews. If I am getting a costume FREE in Spice, I don't want it. Those costumes will SCARE little children.. I am sooooooooooooo sorry Spice, but COME BETTER..

Please check out TrinidadCarnivalDiary.com for all the latest photos and carnival 2011 Bacchanal.

Arima Borough Day, Wet Fete, Laventille Pan Fest,YUMA ALL OVER

So you maybe said where was BloggerBoy for all this time ? Well I was just here enjoying my weekend. It started with Arima Borough Day on Saturday then to the Boom Champions Wet Fete where I got SOAKED. I arrived back home around mid night with the rest of the family. Sunday was restful until around four o' clock when we prepared for the Laventille Pan Fest where we had a blast. The family and I again nah, o gosh we foot HOT.

Well while I was out YUMA launched. From what I saw so far, I am liking Aquarius (my horoscope), Leo and Scorpio. They are very VEGAS and BLINGY, they look like they will give some bands a run for their money ESPECIALLY SPICE. Saying Spice, they HARDLY got any media at their band launch. Spice, next time invite Blog On D Block and you will prosper with your Signature Collection.

This is BloggerBoy saying bye for now !

The Body

I ALWAYS wanted to be a model but had the face JUST not the body. It is soo hard to find time beside during the vacation for the gym. I REALY want to try and get the body or even a job offer as a PLUS SIZE male model. Everyboday says I have BABY fat but I want BIG BABY MUSCLE like Trey Songz. I want to be able to play mass with NO vest, under my costume or go to the beack and not wear a vest. I am very insecure about my 130lbs, but just don't know HOW the get that TREY SONGZ body !!! Plastic surgery at home may be an option because sometimes I feel to take the knive and carve my stomach !!

Please share with me ways of getting THE BODY as a comment !

Fragrance of the Day

Yesterday, I was unable to have a Designer Fragrance of the Day because I was busy. So this morning, I woke up early to do my post. Today's fragrance really goes with Summer and it is by Calvin Klein BTW my bottle of this fragrance fell and broke into PIECES.

I present to you, your fragrance of the day : CK1 Summer

Ronnie&Caro 2011

So we all know that I personally play with Ronnie&Caro and that I support them to the FULLEST. So it is no surprise that I will give them a LITTLE corner on my blog. Ronnie&Caro will present Survivors for Trinidad Carnival 2011. For those of you who want a PEEK, there will be NONE because of the HUGE leakage of costume pictures from their 2010 presentation. Ronnie&Caro came on the scene as a section, then to a band in 2008 presenting D' Gulf. D' Gulf gave the designer Caro better known as Caroline, a chance to show us D' Gulf of Paria in all it's splendour.Sections included, Scarlet Ibis, Jelly Fish, Down D' Islands, Treasure, De Mang and many other art pieces. Ronnie&Caro did not disappoint and proved it by copping Medium Band of the Year.

Ronnie&Caro stepped back onto the scene in 2009 with their presentation 'BAKKANAL', which was simply a compilation of the Bacchanal that goes on in Trinidad Carnival. Sections from this presentation included: Chutney Monarch, Calypso Fiesta, Panorama, Cock Fight, Blue Devils, Soca monarch and many other 'Bakkanal' oriented things in Trinidad carnival. They also were able to take Medium Band of the Year for a second time.

This year, the brought you 'Tribute', Tribute honoured the great Trinidadian mas men with names like: Peter Minshall, George bailey, Edmon and Lil Hart, Diamond Jim, Harold Saldenah, Wayne Barkley and others. Those mas men all had one VERY MEMORABLE presentation that was made highlighted, these sections were: Africa, Humming Bird, City of Gold, Saucy in the Market Place, Fancy Sailors, We Kinda People, Fun Lovers, Fire Bird and Boccou Reef. This presentation gave Ronnie&Caro their well deserved hat trick.

2011 Will bring 'Survivors'. Survivors will be launched on August 28Th at St Johns hall. I am 100% SURE that Ronnie&Caro will NOT disappoint. Survivors, Ronnie&Caro 2011 'Fun Fuh So'.

Getting Fit for 2011

I know some of you just wanna find an easy way to shed those pounds to fit in those skimpy costume. TRIBE/BLISS has tantalized our minds with their hot costumes and now you drooling saying I have to fit in one. I know you wondering "What could I do to tone down for d road?" No worries, I have a plan.

Part 1: Join a spin class for about 3-4 days a week, don't wait until January to join. JOIN NOW

Part 2: Take jugs and runs on the days that you do not have spin classes.

Part 3: JUST EAT RIGHT, don't skip any meals JUST balance them properly. Less KFC more Salads. Don't fry, grill your food instead. Walk with your own lunch to avoid having to buy unhealthy FAST FOOD, walking with lunch can also help you save money for : Fete tickets, Pay for a costume or even FRONT LINE COSTUME, Fete Clothing and Accessories

LAST BUT NEVER LEAST : START FROM NOW, DO NOT WAIT

NB Those of you who have the Wii System can use it to help get fit.

Achieve the Trey Songz abbs and the Faye Ann body !!

My Collection

So I know some people do not believe me when I say I have a collection of desinger fragrances. As I always say, yuh know yuh bou must put them in they place ! So all of those who wanna say I did not smell the fragrances TAKE THIS, a LITTLE sneak peak of my collection.

A GREAT Scent

OK, my uncle bought a cologne for me and I just HAD TO SAY I LOVED it. When I sprayed it on myself I was on Cloud Nine. I can't find such words to describe this atomic crazy wild scent by Tommy Hilfiger. Tommy does have a wide variety of scents but this one is just great. Going with my theme, Designer Fragrance of the Day this fragrance is just GREAT also seeing that I will only do that segment until Sunday coming, I HAVE to post this Tommy. So Sunday will be the last of desinger fragrances and I will start "Nike of the Day". Without further due I present TOMMY by Tommy Hilfiger for Him

Little Angel

I know some people think that I am a loose RASCAL, but if you know me you will know that I am just CRAZY and MAD as hell. I do not give trouble, actually my mom knows I am mad and like to talk ALOT but otherwise the teachers have no problem, they all say i have lots of potential and needs to focus.I try my best to keep my grades high up. I have made mistakes in my life, which I now regret. Let's face it, EVERYONE makes mistakes and I did at one point. I really hope I can be forgiven but it seems as though "The Sauce" will dwell on the pass and never forgive. So again, I am sorry. To all my readers, your boy will NOT let you down again and much thanks again for reading. Kris, Natty, Dino, Ms Bunny, Celeb and the WHOLE Trinidad Carnival Diary chat box crew thank you for reading.

Why I Love Allyuh !!

To my readers from TrinidadCarnivalDiary's chatbox allyuh to sweet !! I am reading the chatbox and just have to laugh !! So people, for your latest carnival info Palance over to Saucy's blog, Trinidad carnival Diary.com.

Finally !!!

Last night I was talking to a good friend of mine and we were discussing the topic of playing mass. He told me his pockets not deep enough for TRIBE/BLISS and he told me he has no problem playing with Ronnie&Caro so I was glad that I will not have to pay BIG MONEY for not much of an all inclusive experience because I do not drink and TRIBE for one I know is more expensive than most other bands. Although I have a link in TRIBE/BLISS I still have to pay. At this point, I think I am running back to my Ronnie&Caro where I will have my family and a friend.

Some people asked what date of birth I was going to use to get into TRIBE. My answer is I was not going to use my date of birth or any of my identity for registration in TRIBE/BLISS. So I think my decision is made now it is just to choose my costume !

TCD's Chatbox after dark

So I am again reading/maccoing TrinidadCarnivalDiary's chatbox afterdark and it is just HILARIOUS !!! Natty and Dexter and they have such a great sense of humour and that is why I am ALWAYS there !!! you should check it out and maybe send The Sauce a message asking her to join !! TRUST me it is da bomb !!

Desinger Fragrance of the Day

These are to GREAT SCENTS from Carolina Herrera !! I LOVE 212... Today BOTH male and female desinger fragrance of the day belongs to Carolina Herrera's 212.

A Late Review

I know I am VERY late to do this review on Ronnie&Caro 2010-Tribute, but they say better late than never. This was not my first time playing with them but this was just the MOST memorable costume. I played in the section Africa, which on Carnival Tuesday was section number one. My mother was in Saucy in the Market Place, my aunt was in Fancy Sailors, my cousin in City of Gold and a next cousin in Africa with me. The Individual of the Year was my cousin, who was leading the section, Africa as he potrayed 'D' Head Hunter'.

Monday, surprisingly, we were all early. We met the band infront of the mascamp where I took one for the road (a Battery) then chipped the day through. When we reaced by the savannah, I MASHED up the stage with my PALANCE. At about 6:30 we headed out of Port of Spain.

Tuesday was my day, although my feet were killing me. I airbrushed my face carnival Sunday so that was less of my worries. The house was full, so there was enough help for everyone to adjust their costume. Before jumping in the maxi, the sprayed me with glitter and sun screen. When we arrived into Port of Spain, the band was now getting ready to line up so I had breakfast seeing that I did not sleep or eat. Breakfast was a HOT bake and shark and of course drinks as you go. Our FIRST judging point was Downtown. We wowed the judges, ALL costumes were SUPERSTARS on the road.

We slowly worked our way up to the savannah but was blocked by Island People & Tribe. We made the best of it. The staff served Pizza, Sussage Rolls, Pies, Lollies and MANY other snacks. I made use of the NON ALCHOLIC bar and the lollies. After crossing the savannah we had lunch at the Woodbrook Park. Last point was The Avenue when the band started to break up.

After all Ronnie&Caro is THE ULTIME MEDIUM BAND EXPERIENCE and I will reccomend them TO ANYBODY !!! Here is a picture of me before we crossed the Savannah that my dad took!

Thanks !

I MUST say thank you to my main readers from the TCD Chatbox : Kris, MsBunny, KayKitty,MiMi,Natty,tribee,(¯`'•.¸♥¸.•'´¯), Saucy aka The Sauce and Many others who know themselves. Thank you soo very much for all the LOVE and Support. To those who hate, find something better to do like take a page out of my reader's books.
