Well strangely my Sunday wasn't as boring the usual one, but i guess that all came down to the fact that i wasn't at home. :) Ya'noe them common Sundays where your stuck at home hunting through the channels to find something to watch. Happily, i didn't have to that, until i got home later on, but anyways yeah i was able to take a day and experience my LATINO heritage lifestyle.
Yuup, i am VERY VERY mixed, so i am not ONLY, from Venezuela but yes its in my blood. So, yeah today i was taken back to my roots at a Latino BBQ. Well, it wasn't exactly a Venezuelan BBQ, but my friends from Columbia and yeah it was her family gathering. So shout out to all the Colombians out there, its all love. And since, the majority of the south American countries share similar ethics, it was very similar to how Venezuelans would celebrate.
Do you enjoy dancing? Well you would of loved it. The music was fantastic, lively, upbeat and LOUD. I got a chance to spruce my improvement in my dancing skills, done and a bit of salsa and merengue and MORE salsa. YAYY !!!! The adults dancing was just immaculate, although i missed a couple steps whilst in was doing it, whilst watching them i was in owe. The whole essence of the dance moves came so natural towards them and all. After tripping over my feet a couple times, i reckon i got the drift of it more. But i definitely need some improvement so taking salsa classes is definitely on my to do list.
Whats your experiences been like when taking a trip back with your heritage? Any of you from South America too?
Like it. Love it. Just enjoy. xxooox

London Riots :/
First of all welcome to my blog. :) If you dont know im Amber, and im a 16 year old student in London. Im EXTREMELY NEW to blogging so bear with me im trying my best.
Love it. Hate it. Just enjoy. xxoxxo
As many of you many already be aware of has London has turned into a war zone in the past week or so. Its like the majority of the people living here have gone mad, with all there "looting", setting cars and buses on fire etc. I have to say that not only does London feel like a war zone but other places like, Liverpool, Manchester and Birmingham are joining in, like people it aint a cool thing to be doing its sad.
"Looting", what actually is it, taking free stuff that dont belong to you and at the end of the day were gonna have to pay it back one way or another. Yes, they are considering putting our taxes up to pay for the damage done. Like come'on be serious, did everyone actually see how much damage was done, ALOT, like VAT. is already at like 20% in England, of they put that up unless your mega rich, your gonna begin suffering. Errm, suffering that is a 100% no, no. That will mean i will have to reduce the amount of shopping i do, *sad times* and i REALLY do love to shop. Okay, im not gonna lie to all you looters out there and say that things dont feel better when there free because they do, but just cos' im saying that it doesnt make it okay. Like, have you seen all the damage that was through it. *SMH* But, anyways back to "looting" it was ridiculous at the extent people were going to just to get free things. Like, i saw some random clip on the news of a mother and her two children outside a JD Sports shop with like 10 bags full up with things. Then you see her telling them to go get more. Like WTF ! How low can you get bringing you whole family? Get a job ad pay for it why dont you
Would you ever make your children go with you to "loot"? Or imagine your mother told you to come with her, what would you say? :/
Did you see how bad they were in Croydon, like look how much damage they caused. That may have ruined peoples homes and businesses. #Selfish individuals
So, in tottenham they decided to set a police car and bus on fire. Im not gonna lie i think its cool like :) but ya'noe the downsides are that people may have got hurt.
All together these riots will cost the government around £200million ! ! :O :O WOAAAHHHH, thats alot right, i wish i had that kind of money just to waste. (N)
P.S. Anyone out there who loves Nottinghill Carnival, we need ta start praying that it doesnt get cancelled. Like thats the highlight of my year. :D :D
xxooxxxo
