Let's Try Something New

Been busy living life and enjoying every minute of it. Believe it or not, this sister is letting her hair down (I really am). Haven't done anything exciting yet (meaning I'm going to do something outrageous real soon); I like to entertain myself. Asides from work, I've been busy investing in myself and learning new stuff.

Took acting classes three, four weeks ago. I'm not thinking of becoming an actress but I've been told that to be a good presenter, you've got to be a good actor. While at I was at broadcasting school, I kept being told "Princess you are great but you need to know how to act your script". Now I'm learning. Acting class was so interesting got to meet creative minds and amazing film makers. During the improv circles, I heard my voice in a completely different way, I was scared. I just couldn't believe the voice I was hearing was mine. I've made a couple of videos. Will show you guys when I have the courage to.

The guys from acting class with Kunle Afolayan.

Social Media Marketing Boot Camp with Okechukwu Ofili: Seeing as I currently work in Digital Media (and marketing) I thought it would be important I attended it. Thank God I went, It was amazing. Won't be sharing what I learnt with you :p.

Went to this this Fashion Film Talk thing a week ago with film maker Kathryn Ferguson and designer David Saunders. Just know my next fashion film will be fab. *Fingers crossed.

Last night, I started cooking classes with Chef Hassan. I CAN cook but don't you get tired of cooking and eating the same thing all the time. Right now, I absolutely refuse to eat rice or indomie (except I'm really hungry or I don't have a choice). Last night, I learnt how to make salad dressing from scratch, chilli, shredded chicken and beef, white sauce and chicken escalope.

Chips and Shredded beef. I had gone halfway tasting (eating) it then I remembered to take a picture 

Chicken Escalope, Chips and Veggies. Yum! Was real proud of myself till Bros mentioned it needed salt. My friend David called it the "unsalted escapade" Lol!

Looking forward to working at Chef H's restaurant this weekend. He's going to let me cook for his customer's after my 3rd lesson. Woo Hoo!

Have a fab day!

The First Post

Happy New Year everyone!

Its not the first day of the year but this is my first blog post this year, well it's not my first blog post this year but it's the first post I've put up this year on That Ré Of Sunshine. I've been blogging, just not here. Check out these blogs and website:

• Re's City
• MTV Base 
• M n K By Ambrosia

Just got back from holiday in Europe three days ago and I loved it. Waking up when I liked, eating non-stop, moving at my own pace and shopping!

First thing I did was buy myself a pair of boots!  (Hadi's boots)

While on holiday, I noticed just how commercial Valentine's day is. Yes it's always been, but I just noticed how commercial it is. Apparently, consumers spend more that $7 billion a year on chocolates. I wonder how much of this money is spent on chocolates on Valentine's day.

Since Monday its been work non stop for me at the Base. I miss being on holiday. Oh well, a sister has got to make that dough (and save to go on another holiday). ;-)

Its Shrove"Pancake" day today. Lent is here, still trying to decide what I'll be giving up. Off to the Cathedral to have some pancakes in an hour.

So excited! Comedy Central has finally landed in Africa!

Funny, innovative, surprising and smart, Comedy Central will be overflowing with non-stop, provocative comedy content including stand-up and sketch comedy, satire, offbeat comedy TV series, classic comedy sitcoms and comedy specials.

All I can think of are Two and a half men (Who are you kidding, Charlie Sheen rocks!), Richard Pryor and Jeff Dunham (Dun-Ham!). I can't wait.

Comedy Central will be launching on DSTV Channel 122 at 6:30. Packing up my bags, heading home in a minute. Going to ordering in some sharwama and plant myself in front of the TV.

Ré Day 28-11-11

My birthday wasn't so bad. Can't believe I'm a year older. All day I kept waiting for magic to happen; I mean I even checked my height to see if I was at least an inch taller. Well I'm not.

So here's how my day went: went to work, went home, had dinner, changed a light bulb, watched two and a half men, saw a sagittarius and went to bed. Of course I got loads of calls, messages, emails, facebook and twitter mentions, all the same, it was a pretty boring day.The day after wasn't so bad, I had all my friends around me at an owambe dinner.

On the 28th . . . .

Birthday Girl. . . See that smile!

I didn't want to cut this cake. iloved!

With the Base fam.xoxo

Ended up cutting the cake :(

Got another cake! Yay!

 The day after. . . .

So much for getting a kitten. I got a stuffed pony. His name is Horsey. This is us having a chat.

Later that evening Ethan and I at his first Owambe!

Got two things off my wishlist; Riri's album and a bottle of Christian Dior Pure poison. And if you want to count Horsey, that's three. Got loads of other cool stuff that wasn't on my list.

FYI: I have decided that I am 20 years old and I intend to remain 20 for the next 3 years. Note: The twins are 21 and I'm older than they are. If I decide to shave my age, do they have to shave theirs too?

*Sigh. . .  going to think about my Christmas wish list. Ha ha ha! Thanks for the birthday wishes everyone. x

Re's Wish List

Its Ré's day, my birthday on the 28th of November. Been trying to come up with a list of things I want for my birthday. To be honest I have everything I want/need. I have a family, great friends, a good job and an amazing life. What more can a girl ask for! That doesn't mean I don't want presents! All the same I've decided to make things easy for you guys. Here's my wish list. The material stuff I want.

1. Diane von Furstenberg Purse

2. Christian Dior Poison: I love! I want any of the three. 

3. Charlatans (Polo) by iamISIGO

I wouldn't mind a black polo (with the Charlatan "Amy")

4. Beyonce 4

5. Digital SLR Camera

Still doing research on what one I want. Don't want anything serious. So I was told the Canon 500D was cool enough for me. Oh well, I'll leave you to do the research now.

6. Something Apple: An iPod touch or an iPhone 4s or an iPad2 or the new MacBook Air. Its in bible ask and you shall receive. So please don't say I'm pushing it.

7. A furry pet. Been saying I want a puppy for a while. Truth is I have a phobia for dogs plus I don't have the time to look after one. So I want a Panda or maybe a Kitten.

That's Taylor Swifts Scottish fold kitten. Its so adorable. I want one!

8. Rihanna TTT

9. A black bag, A Black Handbag. Just realized I don't have a black hand bag/purse.

10. Something from Amy Winehouse's Fred Perry Collection

 

 

Oh well, I can't think of anything else. Truth is whatever I get or you get me is just  fine. I love surprises! So surprise me!

Thank you! xxx
