As you know from The Awakening Project, I wanted to lose some weight and of late I have been doing exercise videos, well one, Jillian Michaels' 30 day shred. I've been doing it in the morning and it feels fake, when I say fake, I'm not seeing results, I'm waking up early and I'm not getting into it, it's more of a chore that I know I have to do.
Let me back up a bit, now let me explain the reason for my weight gain. When I was younger I was skinny, then I went to college. No I didn't get the freshman 15, as I lived in NYC and would get around by walking and taking the subway. Basically, I was exercising as I was going about my day. Other colleges perhaps had elevators that the students used, FIT, had escalators, so if you were in a hurry you ran up those escalators. Once again exercise. Then there was Brooklyn, I loved Brooklyn (why did I leave NYC), now I had a good 5 minute walk to the subway station, climbing stairs at the subway stations another 5 minute walk in Manhattan. I think that would be considered exercise.
Oh and then there is the first car stair climb. There are a few of us subway riders who hate being stuck in the crowd coming off at a station. What we would do is position our selves at the first door in the first compartment. As soon as the doors open we would rush up and fly up the stairs taking the steps in twos, so we are stepping on every other step. There was something awesome being the first person out. It was a race of sorts. Also keep in mind after you get up those stairs you have to go through a limited amount of turnstiles and can you imagine the bottle neck if you came up with the crowd. Basically it was exercise.Then I came back to Antigua, to get around I used a car, at the beginning I had a little bit of exercise in my everyday. Once my office was upstairs so I had a bit of stairmaster exercise going on. Then it went down stairs, then there was stress and more time sitting on my ass than lifting lumber and the sort. I gained weight.
So I sat down and brainstormed about why I was so trim in NYC and gaining weight in Wadadli and the above came to me. So I thought well why not walk it is one of the things I can get into. This afternoon I threw on some worn clothes and walked. The funny thing about walking is I don't feel it, my brain doesn't register it until I stop and then I realize that I'm sweating and my body is getting tired. It was cool, I think I will be sleeping in and walking in the afternoon. Then again I'll mix it up.
While I was walking I took these pics with my cell phone.
I have a thing for skies. Especially when they remind me of what old movies showed God. When you can actually see the sun beams over the edges of clouds.
Well that's it for this post. I walked.
I found this artist through sometimes i type things.
I like her sound and style, definitely worth getting the cd.

Now I've mentioned The Awakening Project and listed some of the things I wanted in my lifetime. Well this is the place I want to have my store. I doubt I will keep it that orange colour, if I did I would change the light green to brown. I like it because it's small and neat and I can see myself utilizing the space well.
The funny thing is I've had my eye on that store for a while, my version of the Law of Attraction and with my experience with retail, I knew the store in it now would not last. So one day, I was walking towards it and I noticed the closed sign. This is weird since it was 3-something in the afternoon. When I got to the door, I noticed two padlocks, not one, people, two. This is how a landlord lets the tenant know they want to get their outstanding rent.
Now, Here is an opportunity, but I'm not ready. Now thinking about it, I better get ready. I could contact the landlord and find out if and/or when he thinks this tenant would be moving on and when he will be renting it. I will start working on my business plan and product line for the store. And I will get myself in a position to take advantage of this opportunity.

Yes, this makes the fourth post for today. This will be it. As you can see by the picture, it's late and we're tired.
Nite Nite.
I want to see this movie, I know for a fact that it won't hit the island, so I'm going to have to figure something out. Okay, here is what I got from IMDB:
I'm interested because although I am focusing on other parts of my life, I still have the desire to love and be loved. To love... Cheers!!!
Does love exist? This charming film's goal is to find out. "Chuck" professes to not believe in love but after the first few minutes of the film, the viewer starts to get the idea that perhaps she just hasn't found the "right one". She sets out to film a documentary about love and interviews those who have found it, those who have lost it and those who haven't quite gotten there yet. And then, Michael (Cera) comes into the picture, and Chuck starts to drop the veil she's kept over her heart. At some points moving and other points laugh-out-loud funny, the viewer finds herself cheering these two on and hoping they find love.
I'm interested because although I am focusing on other parts of my life, I still have the desire to love and be loved. To love... Cheers!!!
In the post before last, I posted a clip about 4 chords, 36 songs. Well some of those songs I never heard, but I was feeling them (well duh, the 4 chords). The first one I checked out was Bic Runga. I am getting her cd. Nuff said. I like the sound. It's this thing I have for full bodied music, the synergy of instrumental and vocals working in harmony. Not to mention words, poetry to melody. That is why I'm a fan of Dave Matthew's Band, John Legend, Jill Scott. These people are what music is all about!! To Me anyway.
Here are a few of her songs. Enjoy!!
I'm going to be honest here.....
I have no close female friends on this island (gasp), yeah I have friends in the States, but then they can't be close sister friends because of the rather large body of water between us. I know, I know, why did I leave NYC. The thing is I am not alone, there are women out there who are in the same boat, a bunch of them in the States even. Check out this article that I found on the Smitten Blog on Glamour.com. To say there are tons of women out there wanting a friend or a couple of friends.
So from the above post, I came across meetup.com. I am so jealous, if I was living in one of those cities I would be having mad fun. According to it's about page:
And here is the clips associated with this:
I'm not saying that if I still lived in NYC, I would be going to these meetups, but if I moved back, I would so do it. I am so jealous, in the back of my head, I'm thinking of organizing one, but that is way in the back of my head.
Now for my sis, you can do this.... there are a few in Leeds, check out if there is any in London for when you go down and I'm sure Rhode Island has a few. Even if you don't do this for yourself, do it for me. I'm deprived child, deprived.

Meetup is the world's largest network of local groups. Meetup makes it easy for anyone to organize a local group or find one of the thousands already meeting up face-to-face. More than 2,000 groups get together in local communities each day, each one with the goal of improving themselves or their communities.
Meetup's mission is to revitalize local community and help people around the world self-organize. Meetup believes that people can change their personal world, or the whole world, by organizing themselves into groups that are powerful enough to make a difference.

Okay, once again floating through the internet, and I stopped by CommunityChannel, who linked to TokenBlackChic who linked to this. It was an Oh My God moment. All these songs I like and they have the same cords

The amount of gay movies I've seen in my lifetimes asks the question if I'm gay. Answer: no, but I like a good romantic movie. Here's one I'm going to add to my eventual large dvd collection, I Can't Think Straight.
It is about two women, a Jordanian woman who has just been engaged for the fourth time, Tala, and an Indian woman who lives in England, Leyla. They met through Leyla's boyfriend at the time and soon became friends. Then their friendship became more, but Tala is engaged and she "can't" go against her society and her culture and goes back to Jordan to marry her fiance. Although she is in the midst of all the wedding festivities, Tala is conflicted. Does she continue with the wedding with the man she cares for but who she is not in love with or does she follow her heart and be true to herself?
Well, I'm telling you the answer just look it up on the internet and watch it. I think this movie is going right under Boy Culture and above Latter Days in my list of favourite gay movies.
Anyway, here is the trailer:
P.S. The poster makes it appear way sexier that it is.
I got this in an email from my sis back in 2005 and I could not bare to delete it. I'm still working on my pack rat tendencies.

As I was reading through this list, I realized that these things are funny as hell, but to pull them off you would have to be pretty gutsy. Maybe one day I will do one, but I think I would need a partner in crime.
My all time favourite song is "Summertime" and I figure it is a favourite of a couple people since there are so many covers of it. I'm sure I had heard it before but it was while listening to it on a cd I bought in Italy of Jazz music I fell in love with it. I must say I like the Janis Joplin version of it, so that's first on the playlist below. Fantasia's version was kinda cheeky and that is second. Last is Jill Scot with George Benson and this is the first one I ever heard as a duet, but they did the song justice and I loved the scatting.
Enjoy the Summertime playlist!!
I think I've been stunting myself musically, I never realized how much I enjoy Jill Scott's music (note to self: start buying cds). I am going to take a little time out of my days and look for more music I can enjoy. I'll share what I find on later posts.

After watching The Secret, I decided to take control of my life and I made a list of things I was going to do. The first thing I had down was take care of unfinished business and the second thing was to decide what I wanted. In this post I'm going to deal with those two things.
Taking Care of Business
I've mentioned this guy before, Zen. I'm not going to lie to you, I was hung up on this guy. The problem is he is not on the market, he is not worthy. Took me a while to accept the former and another while to realize the latter. I gave him too much power, my power. To the point I could not give up cold turkey on him without feeling a loss. So I did my final act of letting go. Check this crazy rationale:
Some delusional or psychic part of me thinks he needs help, saving or something. So I called him and asked him how he was doing and if he was happy. After a medium length conversation and confirmation that he would survive we said our good byes. At some level, I saw him as a friend, but I won't be calling him as often and I doubt I'll be seeing him. You know what? I'm okay with that. I dealt with my unfinished business.
What Do I Want
Okay, universe, here is my order and it's on the internet so you can always check back to see what I want.
Body
- I want a flat stomach and have higher level of stamina;
- I want my slender legs back;
- I want a healthy body;
- I want to be diabetes free;
- I want to have a better prosture;
Career
- I want to develop and grow Kimolisa Was Here into a strong business;
- I want to make a living from Kimolisa Was Here;
- In five years, I want Kimoisa Was Here to generate $100,000.00 in sales;
- I want to generate enough money to travel every year, provide for my family when I have one and be able to put aside for when I retire. Also I would like to be able to give some to charity;
Relationships
- I want to make 2-3 close local friends;
- I want to meet a good man who I find attractive and who I will eventually marry;
Family & Home
- I want 2-3 kids, the first being a boy;
- I want a house with a wrap around veranda with a swing. A studio in the back with a view of the sea. A decent yard and a small garden with a couple fruit trees.
- I want to go on boat trips a couple times a year;
- I want to be a great wife and mother;
Travel
- I want to have adventures when I travel;
Instead of focusing my mind and energy on things that will never be, I'm going to carve out my niche in the world. This is my life and only I am responsible for my own happiness. The above is what I want and I am going to get all of them.
(Here is a little secret, at the end of it all it would be nice to own a pastry shop, that will be closer to my retirement age.)

I never knew that I was a Britney Murphy fan till I finished watching The Ramen Girl. She is one of those actresses that make chick flicks that is easy on the mind. I also like Jennifer Lopez, I always stop to watch her flicks when I'm channel surfing. Monster-In-Law and Enough are a couple of my favourite films. I drift.
The Ramen Girl is about a women who gets dumped by her boyfriend weeks after she has moved to Tokyo to be with him. After some soul searching and interaction with the couple who run a Ramen Shop, she decides to become a Ramen chef and trains with the Ramen Shop owner, not an easy task. In the course of the movie she finds and loses love, learns discipline, and becomes a Ramen Chef with her own flare. In the end she earns the respect of her teacher, opens her own shop and a little happy ending.
Okay, it's a chick flick, a female version of the karate kid with chop sticks not karate chops. It was funny in parts and although I didn't cry, I came kinda close. All in all, I liked it. Also it is a good example of finding what you want to do and doing it no matter how hard it is.
Here is the trailer:
On Easter Monday, the folks and I took a little cruise along the south west coast of our little isle. Here are the pics:
The lady in blue is my mum.
It's weird how all the ducks are lining up. I knew for a while that I needed more out of my life and I didn't know how to get it. I was so bogged down with the "shoulds" of life that I ceased to look for the "wants". I keep changing my mind on what I wanted so my life would fit perfectly into everyone's life. Then the ducks came.
Instead of using the community, I'm going to use this blog to chronicle The Awakening Project. This is the beginning, it's going to be a hell of a ride.
1. This blog, I started blogging back in January and I am proud to say I kept on blogging. To the point that I'm managing 2 blogs. On the serious tip, this blog is going to keep me accountable for all I'm going to say I want, all I say I'm going to do and all I'm going to be.
2. A post on my sisters blog that she insisted I watch. Here it is
It was the spark. The first electric prod.
3. I get this self-help newsletter every week and sometimes it has some interesting articles. This week there was an article on The Boundless Living Challenge, which is challenges you to do the thing you kept putting off in 45 days. It's a social network thing where you can get support from others with your challenge. So I signed up and while check it out I discovered The Secret.
4. The Secret is a film, made in documentary format, about the Law of Attraction. Sure I could go into the whole spiel, but what got me was the first 20 minutes of the film, which is below.
The funny thing is all made sense. There are times when I thought things into actuality. The freaky thing is that later that day, I found out that we will be employing someone at my 7-to-5 who could take some of the burden off of me. Shite, that was cool.
5. The final thing thrown on my raging fire was this clip my sis posted today.
This has been something I've always said, I want to look back at my life and be content.

I've been trying to do this project for my mom, but I'm stuck. Here is some Jill Scott songs that I'm feeling.
Enjoy!!!
Enjoy!!!
Okay, there is a movie coming out in the states April 24th called Obsessed and I want to watch it. Check out the trailer:
According to IMDB, the plot of the movie is
I never noticed before that I haven't watched a psychotic femme fatale movie in a while. Of course we know classics like Fatal Attraction, or The Hand that Rocks The Cradle, check out the trailers below. What intrigues me is the fact that at some level women can be as twisted and manipulative as any man, and sometimes, downright crazy. To the point that the audience forgets all about the sanctity of the weaker sex and encourages the hero/heroine to kill them. It's funny how we can justify killing when we perceive the person to be evil and a monster as opposed to damaged goods. Then again I am one of those who would be standing in my living room screaming at the tv, insisting that the bad guy should be shot.
Another fun part of watching these movies is watching it with other people, especially people who talk to the tv like myself. Now I look at it might wait till I can watch it at home so I can act the fool like jumping up and walking around when an intense part is on or hiding behind a pillow.
What I am looking forward to is that in Obsessed the wife looks like she is coming in with some attitude and is ready to pull up the crazy chick, slap her around and school her on not messing with her family. Yeeah!
Anyway, the trailers:
I can't get it embeded, so here is the link.
Bye Bye
According to IMDB, the plot of the movie is
A successful asset manager, who has just received a huge promotion, is blissfully happy in his career and in his marriage. But a temp worker starts stalking him, all the things he's worked so hard for are placed in jeopardy.

Bye Bye
Here I am breaking the rules again. Today is Good Friday and although I told myself I was only going to slack off for half the day I slacked off all day. I ended up watching two gay movies. Here are the trailers:
There it is I am a fag hag without a fag. Hee Hee. I've even have a favourite gay movie, well, it's the first one I've ever seen, but still my favourite. Trailer:
You see the thing I love about gay movies is the underlying theme of love. Okay, the first movie was about two boarding school girls who loved each other but refused to call themselves gay. It was love in it's purest form and one of them preferred to run away from it than have the label lesbian cast upon her.
The second cut through the concept that the only thing gay men cared about is sex, but they too want something serious, something forever. I liked the movie but it's not my all time favourite.
Now Boy Culture is something I can identify with in terms of love being confusing. The pull and push of the main character is interesting in itself. I mentioned in a previous blog about a guy I refer to as Zen. He is an escort of the straight persuasion, and I think after watching Boy Culture I thought he had something deeper than what he shows on the surface.
Pretty much, I just want love. Not another guy stripping me with his eyes, constantly asking when he can come visit me at home. I want something worth remembering. A good memory was my hand being held, having a stupid smile on my face, being held in the middle of the night. Just being held, sometimes that is all you need.....
There it is I am a fag hag without a fag. Hee Hee. I've even have a favourite gay movie, well, it's the first one I've ever seen, but still my favourite. Trailer:
You see the thing I love about gay movies is the underlying theme of love. Okay, the first movie was about two boarding school girls who loved each other but refused to call themselves gay. It was love in it's purest form and one of them preferred to run away from it than have the label lesbian cast upon her.
The second cut through the concept that the only thing gay men cared about is sex, but they too want something serious, something forever. I liked the movie but it's not my all time favourite.
Now Boy Culture is something I can identify with in terms of love being confusing. The pull and push of the main character is interesting in itself. I mentioned in a previous blog about a guy I refer to as Zen. He is an escort of the straight persuasion, and I think after watching Boy Culture I thought he had something deeper than what he shows on the surface.

When I lived in Brooklyn, about 5 years ago, I took it upon myself to go to the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens. It was there I realized I like Cherry Blossoms. These many little pink flowers that changed the world into a fairy tale. I was kind of reminded of them through my hotmail account, where I could choose the look of my dashboard. I chose Cherry Blossoms, they made me smile. Then I looked up myspace layouts with them and put it on my myspace. It is one of the things in life that I genuinely like.
I know I was setting Music for Monday, but even here I don't conform to the rules. Here are some songs, I'm really liking.
Just as I was going to make my way to bed, I decided to see what Le Love had posted and I found this clip. It's called Reflections of a Skyline, basically I liked it, me being a sucker for love. I've played the game and when you realize all you can lose you learn that it's not worth it and you really want the real thing. The real thing is a mixture of the good and the bad, but there must always be more good than bad to make the relationship work.
Enjoy!!

It is my dream to have a boutique in St. John's where I sell the things I make. While I am in the process of honing my sewing and screen printing skills, I'm going to pull together pictures of things I would like in my little store. I figure if I am going to spend a good part of my day in this store, I'll make sure I feel comfortable in it. Check out the pics.
