It's Stuck On My Mind By Brittney Harris

Should I call or Should I hang up

I keep contemplating whether

You want to pick up

I study if I annoy you

Cause if I do I'll just give up

Your voice is so addictive

I just can't stop

From the morning I wake up

You're on my mind non-stop

When you speak

My heart starts pounding

Swear you can hear the beats

They spell your name on my heart

and

I think I need to go to english class

Because I can't find a word to de-

scribe

The way you make me feel

And sometimes I look up in the

stars

And see your face

You're always on my mind

Stuck on replay

The simple things you do

You don't know how you make

my day

The way you make me smile

It's not normal in anyway

Everything was ordinary without

you

Now it's extraordinary with you

You make my days brigter

Even though it's on a rainy day

I can't start to explain the things

You do to have me this way

You're always on my mind

Stuck on replay

When I'm around you

My heart skips a beat

You bring out the real me in me

Never thought I would tell a guy

You're meant for me

And no matter what, through the

Orlando Octave started music from a tender age. At the age of 10 he won the Promenade Summer Competitions. However, it was in 2004 that he started pursuing a professional career in music and here won the Junior Soca Monarch after teaming up with producer/artist, KMC. In 2007, the world saw Orlando venturing into the world of reggae with his stellar contribu-tion called ‘Darkie’. This was followed by other hit songs like ‘Beautiful’ and ‘Disconnected’, which blazed the airwaves worldwide. Joined by the likes of his Millionaire family, Orlando released a slew of new songs for, which included the ever popular hit songs such as, ‘Bruk out and Roll’, ‘Pump it Up’ which gained him commendable reviews. For Trinidad’s Carnival 2k11 he even landed a spot in the world renowned, Groovy Soca Mon-arch. After the Carnival Season, Orlando once again teamed up with producer, ‘Kid’ (one of Sizzla’s engineers) for the tune, ‘So it A Go’. For his follow up Orlando Octave has teamed up with label, JahLight Records, known for their solid productions as in their New Day Riddim and Mount Zion I Riddim, for his next big re-lease called ‘Jah will never let you down’. This song is strik-ingly different as Orlando has been known for singing a lot of songs expressing his love for the women. However, here, the world that didn’t know will see another side of the young singer as he pours out a message of hope to those that are fac-ing difficult situations, assuring them that no matter the diffi-culty, they can call on God (‘Pray’)and He will be there for

them. In the song, Orlando also warns us of people that will come in our way to present stum-ble blocks in our life. His answer to this being, ‘always keep a smile when they want you to frown’. Joined by backup singers and fellow artists, Kerry John and Roxy Singh, his chorus rings out as he instructs the people to, ‘Don’t let them get you down, even if you’re down, Jah will never let you down.’ Backed by JahLight Records’ en-ergetic riddim, the song is absolutely beautiful in expression, vocal and lyrical ability. ‘It is a privilege to put out a record with Orlando Octave. We at JahLight Records are excited about this project for it’s an opportunity to spread a positive and up-lifting message to the world especially as our team along with Orlando Octave see ourselves as role models to this gen-eration. We intend to make the best of this opportunity for the honour and

glory of God’. We would like to thank God most of all and all those that help put this work together. We hope to inspire the people to keep the faith in the Lord despite opposition and trials in life. Know that with God, any-thing is possible. So seek God first and everything else shall be added unto you,’ says JahLight Records manager, Akeunde Pemberton. The song was mixed by Ken-

dal Arnold, executively pro-

duced by Akeunde

Pemberton and Sherlon Jack-

son, whilst mastering was provided by

Gary Surtherland, engineer, of the legen-

dary Tuff Gong International in Jamaica.

The song will be released on digital

stores worldwide by the world’s largest

digital distributor of Reggae music, Zojak

Worldwide, on August 8th 2011. So do

look out for this one as Orlando Octave

and JahLight Records join forces for a

positive endeavor as they reassure the

world that, ‘ Jah will never let you down.’

Nadia Batson’s journey to creating a new sound in the Car-ibbean has gained tremendous momentum. On July 17, audi-tions held at the Centre Of Excellence in Trinidad, proved suc-cessful with a number of beautiful and talented young women presenting themselves to the team of musical experts who would have the final say as to who would fill the spots of key-boardist, vocalists, drummer, bassist, guitarist and dancers. In a statement following the one- day audition, Batson excitedly said, “ There were some really talented women today. It’ll be a hard decision but we’re up for it.” Some eight to 10 girls will be chosen to be a part of the “My Posse” singer/ songwriter’s new all-female soca band. She an-ticipates it’s full emergence by late November and has assured that she will not deliver anything less than the best to the public at large. For now though, Batson continues to fulfill her profes-sional obligations with Kes The Band, having flown to Toronto on Thursday for gigs there. Upon her return, Batson will begin rehearsals with the new la-dies of soca and she’ll also be prepared to reveal the name of the all-female band. Thus far, her announcement has created a surge of excitement within the carnival fraternity as fans, pro-moters and prospective sponsors eagerly await the grand show-case of what Batson herself is referring to as the hottest thing since carnival bikinis and beads.

ferent artists?

Dear Pellau readers, I thought I would take a short break this

month from the makeup looks, products and tutorials to deal

with an issue that is of real concern to me, SKIN. Clear,

healthy, manageable, flawless skin, that looks fantastic with or

without makeup. Though I’m an avid makeup lover, there are

some days that I like to just slap on some lip balm and head out,

feeling comfortable and confident with a clean flawless face.

But the truth is I don’t feel that way. I’m hoping there are a few

readers that identify with my plight and are interested in learn-

ing some fun facts about your skin, as well as incorporating

some healthy all natural remedies that can help your skin thrive

and blossom, in or out of makeup!

Personally, I’ve tried every over-the counter product there is for

acne and dark spots and I am honestly fed up of wasting my

money on products that simply don’t work. So I’ve done my re-

search and compiled a list of all natural ingredients that will do

By: Tenille T. Quamina

wonders for the skin, when applied in simple recipes. Here are a few:

Honey: It is a natural antiseptic and antioxidant, it attracts and re-

tains moisture for the skin and acts as an all natural moisturizer when

used in its original form. Honey is great for dry skin types or skin

that is dehydrated.

Lemon Juice: A natural disinfectant, and acts in the place of toner,

it cleans the skin thoroughly without irritating. Be careful with your

eyes when applying!

Oatmeal: Yes oatmeal, believe it or not, it is a fantastic cleanser for

all skin types. It is anti-inflammatory, relieves redness, irritation and

gently exfoliates when rubbed in its natural form into the skin.

Cocoa Powder: It tightens pores, hydrates and blocks out pollution

from the atmosphere. It is high in antioxidants and protects the skin

from sun damage.

Yogurt: Treats blemishes, hydrates, tightens pores and so much

more. Natural yogurt is so good for the skin, in my research there

was so much information about the benefits of yogurt.

Aloe Vera: Bringing it home a bit, to a product that can be found in most backyards

or gardens. Natural aloe vera or aloes as we know it in Trinidad is great for the skin.

Aloe vera accelerates the healing of wounds and damaged skin and helps the body

both internally and externally. Aloe vera is great for acne sufferers; it lessens redness

and swelling and improves the overall health of skin.

Now that we have a few key ingredients we can use, these ingredients in any combina-

tion, as a mask, cleanser, or toner that can generally improve the appearance and con-

dition of the skin.

Here are a few quick recipes for healthy skin:

Aloe Vera Drink

1 cup fresh orange juice

2 tablespoons aloe vera (the flesh of the aloes plant)

Blend the two ingredients thoroughly and drink!

This drink acts as a cleanser for the body while improving the skin!

Quick Chocolate Mask

Ingredients

1 tablespoon Cocoa powder or cocoa butter

1 tablespoon Honey

1 tablespoon Natural Yogurt

This mask looks and smells very delicious resist the urge to eat! Mix the 3 ingre-

dients and apply to the face as a mask and leave for 25 minutes. Rinse off with

warm water and pat dry. Skin is left smooth and supple!

So this is a definite start to our all natural skin care regime. Remember guys water

is your best friend; they do not say 8 glasses a day for no reason. It really helps

regularize the skin and keeps it clear and healthy. Drinking water and keeping hy-

drated really makes a difference.

Try these quick and easy recipes and let me know how they work, also do your

own research, find out your skin type and invent your own all natural recipes and

let me know how it works!*

Wishing you all a happy and healthy month and be safe!!

Young Aspiring Model, 17 years old

Name: Khadia Frith

Age: 17 years old

1.When did your interest in modeling begin?

-I’m not going to lie and say from an

early age like most would, I only got in-

terested in modeling last year. I felt like

a star on my grad night with the

makeup and heels and glamour. I liter-

ally fell in love with the spotlight so I

figured why not make the best of it.

2. What was your first experience with a photo

shoot like? (or just simply photo taking)

- (Laughs) My first photo shoot was

done in Queens Park savannah with

Keron Riley and I was nervous as hell. I

simply smiled and then asked “So do

you think I’m workable?” He watched

me smiled back and said “Yes darling.”

eling and why?

- Not too sure as yet.

4. A model needs to be healthy and stay fit, how

do you do this?

the key to looking beautiful on the out-

side.

5. How do you prepare for a photo shoot or a meeting

with an agency?

- The very first thing I do is pray because

nothing is possible without God. I then take

deep breaths because I usually get either

really nervous or excited (laughs).

6. Every model needs to have a sense of uniqueness to

stand out, what unique quality do you have?

- My sense of determination. In life I believe

that failure is inevitable but I never give up

even when things are not going my way. I

will keep on pursuing until I achieve my goal.

7. What do you think you would enjoy the most about

experiencing life as a successful model?

- Travelling the world has always been on

the top of my to-do-list so I believe as a suc-

cessful model I would be being able to see

new places and meet new people. Opportu-

nities that I never would have had the

chance to experience would be opened.

8. Do you prefer being on the runway or doing a photo

shoot and why?

-It’s hard to choose but I would have to say

being on the runway. As soon as you step

onto the runway you just get an adrenaline

the key to looking beautiful on the out-

side.

5. How do you prepare for a photo shoot or a meeting

with an agency?

- The very first thing I do is pray because

nothing is possible without God. I then take

deep breaths because I usually get either

really nervous or excited (laughs).

onto the runway you just get an adrenaline

rush. Then

there are

the cam-

eras,

lights and the crowd! The

entire experience is super exciting!

9. A model should be able to apply her own make-up and

keep ahead

of fashion trends, what

advice could you give

on this?

- I would advise all

aspiring models

(Including myself)

(smiles), to do a

make-up course.

This would be ex-

tremely helpful

since you are sup-

posed to always

look model ready

regardless of

where you are and

you are supposed

to also be pre-

pared for whatever

situation that may

occur.

10. What qualities you think a model MUST

have?

- A model MUST be able listen and stay

focused. I think those essentially are

the key to

being a great model. They must be

able to ignore distractions whether it

is on a runway or during a photo shoot.

They should also be humble and be

able to use constructive criticism

wisely.

We all know that some

people for some reason can‟t be satisfied in their relation-

ships and they tend to go to “outside sources” to get their satisfac-

tion. We Trinidadians call this horning (cuz we special) and the rest of the

world call this cheating. But, for some apparent reason… „Most‟ of the people

who attempt it either get caught and dumped or into some trouble or situation

stemming from it. The „some‟ who do get away “cleanly” (and I stress that) are

those that:

1. have the money to keep the affair under wraps,

2. have a timid or stubborn significant other who just does not want to hear or

accept that their significant other is cheating

those who have the “talent” to dictate everything, make sure to cover up any

traces they may leave and know keep their significant others off track.

And I would guess that only a few people have that „talent‟. I heard many

people say they can cheat and get away easily but, make sure your significant

other does not fall into the timid or suborn category or you just have the money

to pay your way out of everything. Because I‟m talking about cheating on a per-

son who can stand up for themselves and has an acceptable level of intelligence

and going to villa (or some other established „club‟) does not qualify as cheat-

ing.

Now I‟m going to state (and it‟s my copyrighted quote that) no one wakes up

a morning and says “I‟m going to cheat on my significant other today”. People

cheat only when there‟s some definitive lack in the relationship whether it be

lack of trust, love, sex or as I heard from a partner of mine “good cooking”.

People go to outside sources to get their needs met and their stomach‟s full. The

following is some tips and some „tricks of the trade‟ to keep your cheating a**

from getting caught.

TIP: If you’re going to cheat on your significant other make sure she/he

does not live in the same area as you.

WHY: In almost every neighborhood in our country you always to deal

with having to put up with very macco-cius and fass neighbor/person

who just seems to know about every bit of business that is going on in

everybody house including your Horner who does be passin in every

Thursday morning and since there’s a high chance of your significant

other knowing them since they live in the same village (obviously)

there’s a high chance that they will tell ur significant other because NO

macco does keep what they macco to themselves

TIP: Keep a tight track on all your communications, messages etc etc

WHY: The first thing all significant others does check when there’re suspi-

cious of you if your phone records, text messages, BBM message his-

tory, Facebook, email etc etc. Now putting a lock on your messages and

refusing to give them your Facebook and email password one of the

biggest mistakes people make. It’s just putting more suspicion on your-

self. So, instead invest in having a little cheap burn phone or second-

hand old phone that, NO ONE except the Horner supposed to know

about. Consider making another Facebook account where only you and

your Horner can chat (don‟t add no one else on it) and stop your Horner

from contacting you through your BBM, Email, text and your main

Facebook inbox. Further note, it’s a sin to chat with your Horner though

Skype, oovoo or ANY (and stress ANY) webcam chat services

TIP: If you and your Horner “have” to go out don’t go to the same places

where your significant other or any of their friends usually go

Skype, oovoo or ANY (and stress ANY) webcam chat services

TIP: If you and your Horner “have” to go out don’t go to the same places

where your significant other or any of their friends usually go

WHY: Back in the good days of you and you’re sig-

nificant other relationship the both of you used to hit

sting or zen or other clubs often. But, just because the both

of you used to go there, doh be dotish to take yuh Horner dey too.

More than likely their friends who are still single btw will be lim-

ing there cuz they are single and need hookups and they’ll want to

know why the person you’re liming with is not their friend who u

supposed to be with. And the closer the friend the faster your sig-

nificant other will find out and before you can gather yourself and

get out…BOOM!! Ur significant other reach and… MAKE OUT

SCENE inna the club and you’ll have the embarrassing and dra-

matic moment of you, your horner and your significant other be-

ing escorted outside by security to handle allyuh business out out-

side the club and with their friends with them, things are not go-

ing to be pretty for you or the horner

TIP: If you tell your significant other you’re going out of the country,

get ur a** out of the country.

WHY: Now this one is for the business people and the ones who have

$$$ on their name. Too many times I’ve heard business people

getting caught cheating cause they said they was leaving the

country and got caught by the horner’s house. If you have to leave

the country, damm leave. Now you don’t have to take them some

foreign place like Italy, France or some other foreign country you

could just travel to Tobago and stay a few days in a guest house

(and there many affordable ones) buy dinner or cook and you

come back telling your significant other the trip was a success or

failure whatever you please and nobody has to know

TIP: Don’t make no visible change in any of your routines or don’t

make it instantly

WHY: The second thing every suspicious significant other looks for

is a change in routines and since most people under 30 don’t

have a solid routine so use this to your advantage but if it has any-

thing that you always used to do and it’s something you do every

day or every week under NO circumstances change it. So if at 5 o

clock every afternoon you and your partners used to go to the

gym or to the grounds to play football or, ladies every weekend

you and your girls used to get your nails done or go shopping

don’t change it. Because, one day a situation might come up

where they might need you for some emergency and the first

place they gonna check is where you normally be at that time. Oh

yeah did I mention they are not going to call you cuz you sup-

posed to frickin be there and to their surprise you’re not there.

Now most men aren’t good liars so you’re screwed and you can

tell if a woman lying by listening the amount of stress she put into

her words. More pronunciation and stress on words = lying…EY

this is not 100% btw now since is ppl wit a level of intelligence

we’re horning they’re going to jump to the conclusion that some-

thing not right and you’re gonna end up screwed at some time.

Find free time to stick in ur Horner and they can’t object and not

supposed to because they are the Hornerperson, they are not sup-

posed in any have say in anything you do if they do…break up

wit your significant other go with them save everyone the trouble
