''MOODSWING EVERYBODY GAT ONE''

 
 
JLLL Sometimes I wake up in the morning feeling the weight of the world on my shoulders, yes you may agree with me it does happen to everyone at some point in our lives, we don’t seem to do any right according to us in as much as people around us will say otherwise.
You feel like you’re not where you’re supposed to be and you’ve not accomplish anything , looking at your mates whether they’re married, in-love, have cars, houses, kids etc. whenever you feel like this take a look in the mirror and pinch yourself , ask yourself can I see my reflection in the mirror, do I feel anything when I pinch myself because they’re those who were not born blind but they’re blind today, some who are dead and some who are lying in the hospital with an unknown illness. You’re alive and well you have everything to be thankful for and you’re where fate want you to be.
FFFF Remember the race is not for the swift nether the battle for the strong but only for those who endure, you’ll be what you’re meant to be in due time, you’ll meet that special someone because somewhere somehow he or she is waiting or looking for you and you two will meet when the time is right, don’t you give up just yet remember Rome wasn’t built in a day. Houses, cars clothes are all materials do not get carried away by those because they don’t define who you really are, its what you’re inside that matters.
CCCC Work hard relentlessly keep doing what you do even if people don’t seem to appreciate what you do someday the world will realize your good work. Be at peace with yourself for there will always be greater and lesser than you’re, don’t compare yourself with other for you’re unique in your own special way, you have a purpose in this world that why you’re still alive and you won’t leave the earth until you fulfil your destiny.

''STREET KIDS/ORPHANS''


 
JJJJ Sometimes you don’t have to wait till you have millions of Leones or millions of Dollars to give a helping hand to those who needs it the most. There are hundreds of orphans and street kids walking and sleeping the streets of Sierra Leone, these are kids I’ve been working with since I finish high school. During the year or at the end of every year I take the little cent I have buy them slippers, used clothes, food and sometimes hangout with them the whole day.

LLLLI hardly take their pictures but sometimes I have no choice but to do so, they’ll holding on to me, pulling my hair’ ’Aunty Fantacee please take our pictures and keep it ,please, please and we want to see how we look in pictures’’. I don’t usually post them on social media often but sometimes I do because I want people to know their story, what life is like living on the streets, fending for themselves etc.

So these are just few shots me giving them slippers just before Christmas, at that time we had no idea what Ebola was so we were hugging and touching each other freely.

''ROAD TRIP TO CONAKRY GUINEA''

whilst  my friend (Heyden Adama) one of Sierra Leone’s finest singer took up the journey. We were just sitting the studio and we were like what if we go to Guinea Conakry to be precise, I said cool I know a Friend of mine (Soul Bangs) Guinea’s R&B Boss. I called him right away but he was in Senegal (which is my second home, because my step-mother and siblings are there my dad spent half of his life there) he said he’ll get back in two days. We took up the journey two days later, one of us couldn’t find their Sierra Leone Passport but we took up the journey anyway, so with few clothes our guitar one Sierra Leone passport and one us Passport ( we know having our ECOWAS passport will make our travelling easier JJJJ
After my art the next best thing on my list is travelling whether by air, sea or on road, that’s r. We chartered a cab to take us to Pamalap and from there we’ve made arrangements for a private car to pick us there, I was sleeping throughout the way, waking up in between because of the Ebola check point. Heyden took up the job to be taking pictures and videos of me sleeping but seriously I was too sleepy to punch her (giggles).HHHH
ÆÆÆÆBefore pamalap we got to this military check point everybody is terrified of even our protector (driver) Mohamed was, to tell you the truth they looked so scary I went inside to talk to them as soon as I wanted to give them our passport, one of them said I know your face (there goes no protocols) we laughed take pictures etc.
FFFFFinally we’re at pamalap immigration but on our driver(Mohamed) looked after us like his two little sister he was our protector all the way, he realized this is our first time on the road. We took out our passports and he ask us to follow him we went into the immigration office but the officers said he should leave us there and wait outside, he refuse because according to him he thought they’re going to extract money from us because of the US passport but they insisted he leave anyway. It turns out all the officers know us (as artistes) we laughed they asked if they could take pictures with us and they told us on no account we should take out the US passport again. They took us across to Guinea we took the next car and they asked us to give them a call on our way back, everything was easier than we thought it would. JJJJ
