I am a carnival baby
If you know me personally, you would know that I love carnival. I was fortunate to be born in the month of February, the month that is highly anticipated for the greatest show on earth...right here in Trinidad and Tobago....Carnival Monday and Tuesday. It is usually celebrated on the first or second week of February or towards the end of February or early March. Carnival Monday is actually the day that band members assemble with their fellow bands to have a pre-party on the road. Some people wear their costumes on both days but the majority wear theirs on the Carnival Tuesday, which is the main day in which all bands cross the stage. This "stage" as it is called, is not an actual stage but a meeting point in which bands cross whether or not they are taking part in the "band of the year" competition, to be judged. This point is where the masqueraders and their bands play a song or songs of choice to cross the stage. The most popular song that crosses the stage wins "Road March". As we trinis know, carnival is not declared Public Holidays, however most business don't re-open until Ash Wednesday (the day that signifies the start of Lent). I enjoy going to parties or what we trinis call "fetes" leading up to the season. This is what builds up the vibes before the actual days. Even if you are not in a band jumping up on those days you can see hundreds of people flocking the city, lining up at the side of the savannah (where the main stage) is situated to get a glimpse of the costumes as they make their way to the stage. There are other judging points for those taking part in the competition, but the main one which must be crossed in order to be judged, is at the Queen's Park Savannah.
Some things I like to eat
Red Velvet Cake - I enjoy a good red velvet cake! lol
Ferrero Rocher Chocolate - I love chocolate! Chocolate everything! Chocolate cake, chocolate ice-cream, chocolate tea and it goes on and on. I know too much of it would probably make me fat but hey don't judge me! We all have a guilty pleasure lol.
One of the things I do in my spare time
Apart from blogging, which I recently started, I bling stuff out! This started as a hobby and ended up being a side hustle and I enjoy it very much. I love working with my hands so I decided to capitalize on my artistic talents. Items such as cell phone cases, compact mirrors, chargers, business card holders and much more! It doesn't matter what type of device it is, (iphone, blackberry, ipad, galaxy s3 etc) as long as I can find a hard plastic or leather case, it can be done. Doing this can be very time consuming but its fun once you have the patience to do so. The average case takes me approximately 2-3 hours to complete depending on how many items are being stuck on the case, how many charms, the size and quantity of rhinestones and/ or pearls.
