I was in Saker Baptist College, studied for a BA in English & French at the University of Buea before coming to England where I‘ve just recently earned an MA in Media & Mass Communication. I’ve always been intrigued by people in the media and wanted to work there. I currently work as an SEO/ Web Analyst but do some A LOT of blogging and other bits and bops in my free time.

My Silver Birthday Dinner

Hey lovlies,
                  How are you all doing today and how is the month of September treating you? This month is absolutely my favorite month of the year, Firstly because it's my month of birth and also because .... it's just the best. lol. Well, my birthday was on the 6th and since i had school all day, i couldn't do anything special, I just went out with a few of my friends, did a little dancing and went home (sad face). Anyway, I had my Birthday Dinner on the 14th and this is how it went down. It was a gold and nude kinda night for me. I wanted to look glam and effortless. So I kept everything very simple, sticking to my simple, and chic style. Since it was my Silver birthday, my initial idea was to wear a silver dress. Unfortunately, i couldn't find a silver dress that I loved, which suit the occasion, and which could be shipped to me in less than 3 days. So I went for a Gold dress from Nasty girl. It's kinda reflects gold and silver depending on the lighting and in most of my pictures it looks Silver , Whoop whoop!!!. lol but it's actually kinda gold. Hope you like how I styled this lovely dress by Nasty girl. All the details of my outfit is below. Thanks to all my lovely friends who made my night very special and to all those who sent me happy birthday messages/ wishes on Facebook, Instagram, etc etc. You made this special year even more special. A special thanks to all my readers, I might not know you personally but i really do love you all. A blogger is nothing without his/her readers and you guys make my day every single day. Much love and I promise you there are better things to come so subscribe and stay tuned. Mwahhh!!!!!

Dress from Nasty Girl

ON EST HIGH PERE!!!! Stanley Enow's In the house. #HeinPere

Stanley Enow aka Bayangi boy aka HEIN PERE. Is a Cameroonian Afro Rap Artist whose out burst into the music scene has created a revolution, a movement and a massive buzz. In my opinion he is the most talked about Cameroonian artist right now, considering the fact that his record breaking single HEIN PERE was released on July 13, and in just 3 weeks, it  had over 62,500 views, now it has over 150, 000 views and has been the talk of the year.Since the release of his single he has been touring Cameroon performing in Douala, Yaounde etc. He also performed with Flavour ( Nigerian Artist) at two sold out concerts in Douala and Yaounde and to Crown it all he performed at the Cameroonian Match against Libya last week. If this guy doesn't get to international recognition then there is something seriously wrong. I personally can't wait to see him on a stage in Toronto and Montreal ( I need to work towards that). Anyway, I was very honored to be one of the first bloggers to interview him when his song was released 2 months ago. And here is our little tweetinterview. Shout out to all my tweeps and Hein peres and Meres who followed this interview on twitter, the turn out was Hamazing!!!! LMAO. This was the first of my MMPR tweetinterviews and this is how it went down.

ALTF:  Hi Stanley aka Bayangi boy. Neh yee!!. Thanks for accepting to do this interview. it's a pleasure to have you here. 

Stanley Enow: Hello mere. Hi to ma peeps from across the globe

• I am sure everyone wants to know, who Stanley Enow Is?

Oh I go by the name of Ebai Enow Stanley. I reside in Douala and is rep for Cameroon

Thigh High Boots Poping

Hello lovely fashionistas,

                                I know it has been a while but I am back. Just started school this week and it has been really difficult to balance everything especially after having such a long time off school. Any way I am figuring it out and I promise to be more current. Just bare with me I beg. The post/ message of today is going to be deep, even though the title of the post doesn't reflect it. A couple of weeks ago, I went to the mall and the message of this lovely tank top cut my eye. "THEN YOU WILL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE!!! John 8:32". This message brought flashes of so many struggles, insecurities, fights, barriers etc that I and many people I know have had to face.  Bullying!!! Bullying BULLYING is a HUGE issue in this part of the world. It is very easy for people to sit behind their computers and bully others, insulting / judging them about their looks, their size, their behavior etc etc when they themselves are worst looking. Don't get me wrong, it is okay to give constructive criticisms, as a matter of fact I loveeee constructive criticisms and that's why I LOVE my readers coz they show me nothing but love. However some people especially on other social media sites find pleasure in insulting other bloggers calling them names and insulting everything on their bodies. It is never fun to put others down in other to look good. I know many bloggers who have been bullied , insulted and cursed for there looks or for something on their body. For example my friend and fellow blogger Brenda Chuinkam, In my eyes she has the perfect shape and size any girl will want ( I envy her * hides face* lol), but I can't count the number of times she has been featured on a site and people esply girls have insulted her. if it's not her legs, it's her hips, her style etc. I love how she doesn't let it bother her one bit ( Strong Lady) but everyone is not as strong as she is an you never know what impact a couple of arrogant words can go to others especially youths. No one is perfect, everyone has something they don't like or are insecure about even YOU ( cyber bullies). Only the "TRUTH" can set you free, that's allI can really say. Any successful, hardworking, good looking and happy person wouldn't derive pleasure in putting others down. Being jealous, envious, and mean wouldn't help you.  I can't count how many teenagers and young adults loose their lives every day because of bullying. We Need to STOP BULLYING and learn to accept each other coz we are more alike than we are different. That is the TRUTH. This post is for every teenager, blogger, artist, man, woman, child who has been bullied / hated . Just know that they do not define you and what doesn't kill you makes you STRONGER!!! NO ONE is worth loosing your life for not even YOU.

Disclaimer: Just so you know this is not my personal story, I haven't been insulted on any sites or by anyone (at least not yet). It just hurts me to see others suffer / loose their lives because some other human beings think less of them. I just can't stand it.
