13 days into September already & the final quarter of the year! Time to make it count for something ,if you have not be doing so already & if you have keep on going, the race is not over yet..!
We are beginning to draw near to the end of summer 2011 and begin to brace ourselves for the cold days that await us. Even though we was not blessed with as many blazing hot summer days as I would have liked, I can still say that this summer has been full of plenty of fun.. August was a mad month & it definitely started off with a BIG Bang that would make us remember August 2011 for many many years to come. If you don't know what happened with the riots & looting that took place throughout London & other parts of the UK then you have been sleeping.. The whole thing was unexpected, scary & upsetting to see but I’m glad to see that order has now been restored & things are getting back to normal. One good thing that did come out of everything that happened is that it showed people still had that "community spirit" especially when it came to cleaning up & helping people get their life back on track. Another good thing is that many people had the chance to receive life changing opportunities that they may never have got if the riots never happened. Like they say “Everything happens for a reason”.
Despite having to deal with the riots taking place not too far from me, August was also a time of really celebrating African culture. I had the opportunity to attend, Africa Fashion Week in London which was amazing & well organised, went to see FELA! Which was long over due trip to the theatre & also celebrated the rising success of Afrobeatz music by attending a range of events during the August Bank Holiday weekend and one of them being the D’Banj & MoHits Kokokoncert at Hammersmith Apollo which has now been added to my top 5 concerts I have attended to date. It was good to see Africa being so well represented within the UK with a range of different events. (Pictures uploaded soon, hopefully!)
Overall August was full of sharing good times and good memories with family and friends and allowing me to remember that “Life is Good!” So now its back to hustling hard and making sure I leave 2011 with a bang! But this month is also my birthday month (Woop Woop!!! presents & cards appreciated, lol) so I will be having some fun, as it will be wrong not to celebrate it!
But for now I wish you all a wonderful month & hopefully I will get a chance to start blogging again regularly. Don’t forget “To Keep Aiming High!”
Until I blog again.. Peace & Love
