Saw a lot of ignorant comments and that's to be expected. Guyana is not yet well known and unfortunately all people seem to know is the tragedy that took place there ages ago. Nothing of the natural resources, gold, diamonds, bauxite and recently discovered oil!

I'm interested to know what circumstances took you to Guyana and what your experience has been like so far?
Romance / Re: Ladies Opinion On Dating Or Even Marrying A Man Who Is Standing At 5ft In Height by SunshineNYC(f): 12:45am On Aug 29, 2015
I'll be honest. Yes, you will probably face some difficulty in dating because women are generally attracted to bigger/taller men but at the same time we're not that shallow. If a woman wants to start a serious relationship with a man she believes fits the qualities she's looking for, she won't be stuck on his height. If she can't see past that then you don't want that kind of woman anyway.

My advice is bring a lot to the table. It's easy to overlook a physical trait that's not particularly desirable If the person has an overwhelming amount of good qualities that you would want. Don't be so insecure about it either, it's a turn off and humor or charm invites people in to want to get to know you. Try it and Good luck!

Family / Re: My Neighbour And His Fiancee by SunshineNYC(f): 4:27am On Aug 19, 2015
I hope this is serious. If it is there are a few suggestions you can share with your neighbor.

1. See a doctor, a lot of women get severe cramps but when the pain is debilitating it would be wise to get it checked out. Others mentioned endometriosis. It could be, but only a medical professional can say.

2. Stay away from cold drinks during this time. It may sound silly but skip the ice and chilled water and drinks. Have room temperature water and lots of warm/hot drinks.

3. Limit sugar and junk food intake. Like seriously cut back on your intake during that time.

4. Lots of fruit and copious amounts of water. The more water the better.

5. Exercise! Yes exercise really helps with cramps. Most women don't want to go to the gym when they're already in pain but even the smallest bit of cardio can help. If you especially work out the days leading up to your period it helps.

6. GINGER TEA!!! I can't tell you how much this helps the cramps. Just slice up some fresh ginger root and boil it in water with a black tea bag. Add milk and honey. Don't skip the honey.

7. Eat bananas. They have pain relieving properties. Some nuts like walnuts (I'm not sure how accessible that is in Nigeria) has pain relieving properties too.

8. Make sure to take B vitamins, especially B6. Take fish oil supplements. The Omega 3 is helpful.

Good luck to her and all the females with this issue. Men I know u can't relate but be understanding. It's no joke.

Because i promised,i wouldn't come online at this time,especially today after my club lost.

Plain Flour
Sugar (caster/castor sugar)
2 teaspoons powdered/dry baking yeast OR fresh yeast(i use fresh)
Half teaspoon of ground Nutmeg
Lukewarm water (more or less, until you get the consistency as described in the video below )
Half teaspoon of Salt
Vegetable Oil (for frying)

If you're using fresh yeast,dissolve the yeast with a little warm water and set side.Then pour the flour into a big bowl, add the ground nutmeg, sugar, salt and the dry yeast(or fresh yeast mixture):and mix together.

Now add the water, bit by bit and mix thoroughly.I use my hand to mix but you can also mix with a flat wooden spoon
Mix for about 10 minutes or until there are no lumps in it, and the batter is smooth , but it should not be watery.

Then use a dry cloth or aluminium foil and leave it to rise for about 45 to 50 minutes.To know that the batter is ready,you will notice some air bubble and it will double the size(rise).

Warm your oil until hot,then use any technique convenient to you,it could be hand or spoon....(again i use my hand)

Thankss!!!! You're a darling for this. How many cups of flour?

Food / Puff Puff Recipe by SunshineNYC(f): 3:32am On Aug 15, 2015
Sooooo I tried to make puff puff today and it was a miserable fail. I guess for my first try it wasn't a complete disaster but I need some help for next time. Here are my concerns:

1. After leaving the mixture to raise for 45 mins it had a LOT of bubbles. When I fried it the inside was full of holes and pretty much hollow. What did I do wrong?

2. Idk if my tastebuds are super sensitive but all I could taste was yeast cry I thought to just add less yeast next time but what if they don't come out fluffy?

3. Nutmeg or no nutmeg?

4. How do I make them look better aka rounder and more uniformed?

Pleaseeeee share your recipes with exact ingredients and measurements If you don't mind. I used dry yeast and all purpose flour btw. Should I use self rising flour and instant yeast instead?

I attached a pic of my awful puff puffs for your entertainment lol
Thanks! For any and all help.

Literature / Re: The Reading Culture Has Gone From Bad To Worse by SunshineNYC(f): 5:27pm On Aug 12, 2015
Dioxidane:
Quite true! The one that annoys me most is when I see people use abbreviations when writing, chatting or making comments on social media. I tell people whenever I have the opportunity to talk with them that it is a very bad habit. It is sheer laziness. Your spelling skills would definitely decline. And most times the ones that call themselves graduates indulge in such. It's no more a surprise to me when I see people make comments like, 'too long, can't read.' Like, what the hell?? Nigerian youths really need to CHANGE!

I agree. It's lazy and annoying. Somehow I think people do it because it seems cool to them. How? I'm not sure but it's definitely a fad. I'm ok with abbreviating some things for the sake of texting but a whole conversation of unnecessarily chopped up words is too much man.
Literature / Re: Which Book Are You Currently Reading? Share Some Thoughts! by SunshineNYC(f): 5:06pm On Aug 12, 2015
dearpreye:


Can you share a quote from the book?

I'll share two smiley

"One thing you can count on in Santo Domingo. Not the lights, not the law. Sex. That never goes away. I didn't bother with the romance. I let take me to a love motel on our first "date". He was one of those vain politicos, a peledeísta, had his own big air-conditioned jípeta. When I pulled my pants down you never saw anybody so happy.
Until I asked him for two thousand dollars. American, I emphasized.
It's like Abuela says: Every snake thinks it's biting into a rat until the day it bites into a mongoose"

"More miracles, The next morning Oscar woke up and despite the tremendous tidings in his heart, despite the fact that he wanted to run over to Ybon's house and shackle himself to her bed, he didn't. He knew he had to cogerlo con take it easy, knew he had to rein in his lunatic heart or he would blow it. Whatever it was. Of course the nigger was entertaining mad fantasies inside his head. What do you expect? He was a not-so-fat fatboy who's never kissed a girl, never even lain in bed with one, and now the world was waving a beautiful puta under his nose.




It's historical fiction set partly in the Dominican Republic and partly in New Jersey. It chronicles the life of a very disfunctional family, particularly the main character Oscar who is a misfit living a tragic life.

There's a lot of Spanish words and phrases interjected but it's really a good book. I don't know what languages you speak but I've put meaning to the Spanish words as best I could.

Politicos - politician
Peledeísta - member of a specific party in the DR
Jípeta - A big SUV, commonly called a jeep no matter the make
Abuela - grandmother
Cogerlo con - With ease/ take it easy (not sure)
Puta - Ashawo grin

There's nothing wrong with you. You're just more of an introvert than most. The teenage years are tricky. I would advise you to socialize a bit more but if you simply don't feel it necessary to do so, don't put that pressure on yourself or allow others to put pressure on you to do so.

Socializing at any age has its perks though. Don't be closed off to it but do what makes you comfortable.

Well this is a lot to say but I would want you to understand something, it's not just about moving on in words, trust me it's easier to say it but extremely something else#cant describe it in words# to act it. First you need to recollect what you ever wanted from him, if it's a future with him you would have to learn to seek somewhere else. Be honest with yourself "WHAT DO U REALLY WANT?" once you can be sincere to yourself about that question without involving emotions then you would find a path to what direction you should go.
And one last thing, tho its for him, Does he really understands how he hurts you. He might have told you a million "I'M SORRY", but trust me in a thousands of it he doesn't even know why he's sorry. I hate to see or read about broken relationships of a lot of years involved in, but the truth is always the truth we can't just run away from it "If a relationship is sinking you get out of it n reflect on what's wrong with either you or your partner "which absolutely involves time..I hope this helps.

You're right I did want a future with him. He's a Christian, hard working, very family oriented, doesn't drink or do drugs, doesn't party or keep too much company. He's never harsh with his words and respectful to others. I saw so many qualities in him that I wanted in my future husband and I was sold on him in the beginning stages of our relationship. He just does not know how to be in a relationship, I get hurt a lot by his actions, coldness and withdrawn attitude when it comes to our relationship. He has been hurt in the past and It felt like I was paying for whoever hurt him. He just refuses to open his heart to another woman and I need to realize that I can't change him.

You're right he doesn't seem to fully understand how much his actions hurt me but it's my duty to protect myself and stop this from continuing. Thanks for your encouraging words.

I have heard similar story...I just want to ask some few questions before I give an advice to this, cos I'm not a fan of a one-sided story so here it is.."When u broke up then#about a year ago#, did u accept him back n why did you?". Secondly, "Has he ever shown SINCERE/GENUINE remorse to his flaws?"...This questions would go a lot helping if you answer honestly.Thanks

We have not gotten back together since that break up but we did speak and he said how sorry he was and that he wishes to make up for what he did wrong. I have not responded yet and since reading all the good advice and encouraging words here I will not respond. I'm moving on.

He has shown remorse for the stuff he did. He begs and apologized profusely then turns around and messes up again. I it always seems genuine when he's saying sorry but I don't think it really was. If genuine, he wouldn't keep hurting me. I believe that firmly now.

Hallmarks of a situation you need to get out of thankfully you know this man is bad for your health you just don't know how to leave him. You've spent five years of your life investing your time and emotions in this pain because this looks like pain to me not love its time to move on to better and healthier things you can't get back time although you can learn a lot from the experience and move on, grow up, heal whatever but you have to do this.

The only way out is to love yourself more because you are the one hurting you. Your heart is in pain, your brain is saying get out yet you are holding on to the pain you might like to ask yourself why? There is a whole world of good out there yet you hold on to pain and interpret it as love why do you think its love that is keeping you not some sort of attraction to pain? What does love look like to you? why and how can you you love a man who mistreats you? Make this all about you because you are the one mistreating yourself if you continue in this relationship.

So what does love look like to you so you can start really loving yourself.

Serious questions that I need to sit down and ask myself. I have to start putting myself first. Thank you so much.

Sweetheart, I've walked down this road before. You sure can get over him but you need to start the process. It starts from loosing him is all your social media accounts, phone contact, his pictures and even avoid his friends.

It's when you have done all these will your reset module begin to run.

You will get over his hold in no time.

I've done all of that before. Maybe need to change my number. He knows how to contact me.

I can't shake off the feeling that it's the sex that's making you crazy undecided undecided

Well I usually let people make their mistakes and learn but since you've been making the same mistake for 5 years, I do wonder when you'll learn.

I think he's also a bad boy coz what those bad niggerz do to you girl's brain ehn, I can't understand.

Well I'm just gonna say... Use your head, make a conscious step to end all communication with him. Delete him from your list in all social media and don't call or text him. If he calls pick up but don't go out with him or let him visit.

You mustn't jump into another man's bed to get over this one. Find a hubby to engage in or something.

I know you'll think he has or will change buh uhm... he didn't change for 5 years so... don't kid yourself.

Experience remains the best teacher but it mustn't be your own... wink

I'm learning and experience is a harsh teacher but this time around I'm not making the same mistakes. Your advice helped. Thanks!
