Ok sooo i haven't wrote in a while

Hey you guys, sorry i haven't wrote in a while, i've been really busy starting university and the work and the pressure can be abit much but i'm kinda learning to handle it :)

Canon SX130 Powershot digital Camera 

Anyway this post will be about my new camera. Yay!! So. I got this camera the other day, well about a week now and it's called the Canon SX130IS Powershot digital camera. I love this camera sooo much. I got from Argos at about £99.00 which was uber cheap as they are ususally about £129-£179 on Amazon. I was dead excited to get it and since then i've just been playing around with it really. I've been taking loads of pictures and i have managed to post a video up on youtube talking about a review on a hair product. If you guys wanna see the video and tell me what you think, either on commenting on this post or on my youtube vid then i'll put a link at the end *excited*.

Back to the camera, so far i really love the camera. I have to admit it kinda is abit slippery for me to hold as i've dropped it twice now but still it looks good! The pictures are definitely amazing. The camera is worth the money. With my youtube video i used the Canon SX130 so it does do justice. On the other hand i know that camera's do have their faults and one for this would be that it sometimes gets blurry which i hate but maybe i need a tripod or something. Overall out of 10 i would give the Camera 8. It's still pretty high. This camera is so good for beginners like myself or for anyone who's had some experience before and would just like a cheap camera. It's quality is good and i love Canon for that. I still need to get some accessories for it, a neck strap and a tripod i'll probably get something in tesco or in Amazon.

 Here's a look at a picture my Canon took. I love it, i know it's only a low shot but as they say ' A picture is worth a thousand words'

Heres a link if you guys wanna see my video skills in action. Comment, like, subscribe.
Later guys. Santana xoxo

Beyonce Is Pregnant


Well well well. Who'd have thought it the destiny child star and solo artist in her own right is now pregnant. Nobody saw this coming i mean really no one well apart from Jay-Z and hopefully her mum and dad but apart from that it was truly a shock. As she stepped onto the stage she was dressed in a sparkly purple blazer that hid her baby bump really well. She sang amazingly on stage however nearing the end she shocked viewers by throwing down the mic on the MTV Music Video Awards and opening her blazer to reveal her baby bump. Everyone was in awe. The camera's moved from Beyonce to Jay-Z as his best friend Kanye West congratulated him and was so full of Joy.

I personally feel very happy for Beyonce, she has the husband, she's gorgeous she has her newly debut Album 4. To top it off she's now pregnant. I've never met her before but i can tell that she's a humble person who deserves the best that life has to give her. I hope that she gives God thanks for all of her success.

Forever 21- Oxford Street UK



SO...
Forever 21 Finally comes to London. Yaaaayy!! But wait i know what your thinking. Is the clothes cheap? Do they look good? What styles do they do? Have i been there?
To answer your questions yes i have been there. I went there in the first week of their opening as they opened 27th July i think.. I went with my mum.

First Impressions:
When i first entered the store i thought wow it looks amazing, there's about 3 floors and they all have a very diverse sense of style. Unfortunately i was very disappointed with the store. As i looked around the store appeared to be very messy. Due to the diverse styles prepy, rock, girly etc.. There was alot of help and loads of staff on hand all smiling and greeting customers around the store. It was very fast paced aswelll and there was hardly any space near the escalators to walk. I think that because it was still in the week of opening everyone was just very excited to be there. Me. Well... Not to so much. I only liked a few places in Forever 21, this consisted of the girly section on the bottom floor. This revolved around the Jeans and the lace and really pretty outfits in Forever 21. I also liked the section that involved the accessories. They were in fact amazing and again diverse. However the rings were very small and were all stored in one small place with most girls blocking the other sections.

The prices:
Well the prices which i checked out in my favourite sections ranged from £10- £24.75. To me i thought they were very expense as i could easily get a cheaper yet similar top from H&M for less than the asking price in Forever 21. On the otherhand i did agree with their Jeans as the price seemed reasonable with skinny Jeans from £19.75. I didn't buy one as they didn't have my size (12) they only did there're sizes in e.g 28, 30..

I decided to buy something but then again it was quite difficult finding things i liked in a hectic setting. I managed to find a top and i also bought some earring's which looked great.

I then went to Forever 21 two weeks later with my friend. Having been there before i wasn't really looking forward to it as i was disappointed with my last visit. However i was really impressed by this visit as the store had removed some of it's clutter and was less messy. I was able to see far more things which i liked on not only the First floor but also on the Second floor. There was less staff on hand and this seemed better for the store but i was still able to find one on any floor. I wasn't planning on buying anything but then i stumbled across some lovely earrings and a necklace. In total I paid £4.80, It was surprisingly cheap and it made me reconsider my previous thoughts on Forever 21.

Anyway If you found my comments about Forever 21 useful or have something to say about the store then comment or reply.
Thanks for reading

Topic: Friends with benefits My opinion

So, i haven't really been on here for a while now, it's kinda bad.. Since June i think so about 2 months although it feels like forever. But i'm back now.



Discussion:
So a friend of mine was debating with me about "friends with benefits" They were saying that it's better for people to be FWB (friends with benefits) than an actual relationship. I found this shocking. I mean seriously? How could anyone say that! he then asked me my opinion and i replied simply with that's ridiculous. Being in a FWB requires you to turn off your emotions i know for a fact (researching alot) that most women do not turn off there emotions and so become emotional attached, by doing so they risk the fear of getting hurt and the other recipient isn't looking for a "relationship".

Some women feel that men are much more suited for this FWB attitude as they can turn their emotions off and then not be involved emotionally. But i feel that maybe just maybe some men actually have feelings for the other person but again can't do anything about it so they suck it up. Be a man. And continue with this limitless commitment.

I dunno I guess I'm abit iffy (unsure) when it comes to friends with benefits. I myself would love to be in a committed relationship, i don't get a FWB. I don't get how two people are willing to be in some sort of agreement just for sex and nothing else. Are people that sad that they can't face reality and be an adult and responsible.

Is anyone in a FWB? if so tell me about your experiences? how did you feel about it?
Do you agree or disagree?

Make up and Drake


Make-up and Drake. Two words which should not be used in a sentence yet i somehow managed it...
Ahh i haven't posted a new post in some time. I've been abit busy but i'm back now *smiles* Anyway back to the topic: Make-up
So here's a little secret, shhh don't tell anyone. I don't wear make up. I've never been to a party either. But we'll save that for a different post *laughs* I dont even know what conseller, blusher, foundation, bronzer and all the other make up things are. Well not until today anyway.
I saw a little video on Youtube and it was demonstrating make up on "African American make-up skin". I was so impressed on how the make up designer named Amanda Backensto applied the make-up onto the model she was amazing. After i watched a few of the videos it got me abit obsessed with make-up. I mean wow who knew there could be so many types and so many applications its like crazy but in a good way. I decided to take a look at a make-up set, but as i don't know which foundation would suit me i chose to buy a tester "Foundation tester for skin tones medium to dark". Overall i feel that my knowledge of make-up now is quite good. I know how to apply them and i know which ones to buy. Damn i'm so excited.

His Song Marvin's room is quite good, although its caused a stir in the music industry among fans. The artist known as 'Jojo' has made a response well a girls version of Drakes song. I feel that it was a bold move i mean the song has hardly been out for 3 weeks yet its so well known by many. She sung the song brilliantly and i can't stop listening to her version. With that being said its 3 minutes shorter than Drakes whom is 6 minutes longer due to his beautiful piano verse at the end. I don't particularly like the phone call within Drake's song but I'm getting used to it though... I love Drake i mean i really do. And his songs just have so much depth and so much thought into it. I dunno he's just deep *sigh*. Here's a video someone made on Vimeo of this song, to be honest i think they did a pretty good job as i've seen other remakes but they do not match up to this.
Anyway i hope you guys enjoy the video.
Love Santana xoxox

The word bullshit, Failed Love with possible realisation and Conclusion


Bullshit. I hate people's bullshit. I hate people who lie to me or just lie in general. I'm so sick and tired of people being rude and just having no respect for anyones feelings, not caring if the other person gets hurt. Only out for themselves. This particular one goes to my friend or should i say associate we'll call her "X". "X" is SO rude to people and is so heartless at times and can be such a user. When X tells me stuff i don't stand for it, as "X" is so irrevlant to my life. I got better things to do than listen to bullshit. I really have been using the word alot recently, i dunno know why. I think that I'm slightly angry or aggravated over something but i can't really place my finger on it...
I'll come back to it if i ever find out.

Failed love with the possible realisation.You know something i was staring out of the window on the bus coming from college and it suddenly dawned upon me. I finally realised that I have been selfish. i really have. This whole break up thing with my ex boyfriend. He broke my heart and ripped it out. But I never really stopped to think how he must be feeling. He must have been feeling pretty lousy and pretty ashamed of what he did to me. Yet he's hurting aswell. I'm not the only one. He may have ripped out my heart but i caused his heart to hurt aswell. He's hurting just as much as me. And at the moment when i was sat down on the bus looking out of the window looking into the trees i really realised. My eyes were open. I believe that we should all forgive and forget. I'm trying to not hold a grudge and forgive. The more time passes the more i feel that i can move on. Today was just a good realisation for me. Overall i guess i really did need it. Thank God

Conclusion. I've come to the conclusion that i miss my friend. I really miss him. I miss his touch, his smile, his neck kisses. I loved him and cared for him alot, i kinda do at the moment but he's moved on so i don't really bother. I moved on aswell but I still think about him almost everyday now... I know what your thinking, "if i cared so much about him then I would try" and yes your right i would try. But still i don't want to be a burden or annoying. Besides what would i say to him? after all this time of us not talking for me to pop up outta the blue is kinda strange. I dunno I guess I got to figure it out in my own way or something. *sigh*

Anyway here's the video for today, just today i realised how much i really love the song. The video is HOT. Kelly did her Thang. Enjoy peeps

Love, wedding dresses and non existance


Ahh so its been about nearly a month since I've last posted something on here. I'm slacking. I apologise i'm sorry. Anyway this post is about Love, wedding dresses and non existence. The reason why i titled this is because i have three things to talk about within this post which may take some time in explaining.

The picture shown above is basically like my dream wedding. I'm actually being serious on this one. It was only today that i realised that i would love a wedding on the beach, i mean just look at it. The waves sounding and crashing upon the shore. The nice hot beach between your toes and the sunset within the horizon i mean that sounds so beautiful. But i don't have a boyfriend so i can't really think about that at the moment. But a girl can dream eh?

Reffering to my topic of wedding dresses, as i saw the picture of the beach wedding i got so happy and excited about wedding dresses and i started looking for some in particular for beach wear. They looked so lovely and they were on sale aswell *jumps excitedly* but again i don't have a boyfriend. This is such an occurring problem *laughs*.

As i was getting ready to sleep i started to think about my recent boyfriend and how we were once so in love. We were so much in love that we were planning for our honeymoon and he even gave me a ring which i loved so very much. It had only been about 3 months but i did love every single bit of it. I remember he once came to my house and we danced to my favourite song which always makes me cry and he held me. Eventhough we don't talk now due to silly reasons i won't forget him. He taught me to love like you have nothing left to lose. And to be patient which was a good thing. He was funny, charming and kind a real gentleman. I had him and he had me and that was all that mattered and at that moment in time when we were together i never felt so loved in my entire life.

Non-existence- I feel that love may not exist, i know yes i'm only 18 years old but still. I have loved 3 people in my life time. Two of which i knew loved me and the other not so much, but i still loved him regardless of everything and everyone. I know it is bad for me to say but my mind is starting to sway on that thought of love not really existing. "Love exists in God, as God is Love." But apart from that i don't feel that love can truly co-inhibit between two people. Not really. Call me narrow minded or naive but it's just my opinion. I could talk about this subject for a good while but i think i'll stop there until a next time.

Heres a video which explains my feelings and i just overall love this tearful song. Hope you enjoy
