"A bit of Cameroon & Me"

Carole's Birthday I know, I know it's been a while but first tell me what do you think of the new design of my blog? Hope you're mood today is as happy as Pharrell Williams in his song :"Happy" (I love that song :) Just wanted to share few photos I took a while ago with you guys and to let you know am back and will thrive as much as I can and as long as my back allow me to update. Windy day got my glass door broken This is what happens when you underestimate the power of the wind in Fall. My glass door is broken and my landlady thinks she can put this on me, no way: "Sorry Ma'am, this is nature's fault" Sunday chilling state of mind If only we could totally put that phone away to relax ohhh... Anyway, procrastinating with the people we cherish around is the best of all feeling during weekends. Have an awesome week y'all, catch you later :) Aevermint

It's snowing in Cape Town, so windy in Johannesburg and yet I've decided to "chop" that hair from my head and have no regrets at all since then :) How it all started I cut my hair (the first round) on November 2012 because after my two pregnancies my hair became a complete mess: "long, short, medium, kinky, dry, smooth..." I had all those kinds in one head and as it was not enough, my hair colour turned dark brown instead of remaining black. So, I got mad and remove all those mountains and "everests" and gave myself a good ride on equal plains with no valleys hehehe. Hold on! Watch the full video of my big chop by following this link:  "My Big Chop: "Relaxed to Natural Hair" 10 months later My hair later on grew equally and looked healthy but as I couldn't bear the pain when I had to comb the regrowths following the two relaxing phases I had in between, I started thinking it's maybe tim...

Have you ever had one of these days when you feel like everything is wrong, unhappy and disorientated? That was me yesterday. But luckily, I remembered a companion I haven't walked with for ages because of life challenges and difficulties: "My beloved Camera" After working for few hours in the morning of June 11, I decided to take a walk down my street to shoot whatever would come my way or catch my eye. As we grow old we tend to realize that we do not allow ourselves to focus more on those hobbies that can bring us a feeling of fulfilment. Instead we let ourselves drown in stress and always strive to work hard, always harder for a better future instead of living the present moment to it best. Passion is everything My passion or should I say one of my passion is "Photography". It's one of those gift that when I'm exercising, I feel happy, strong, refreshed, joyful... It makes me actually feel am alive and stress free. It help...

Hello everyone. Today I'm going to share with you a curious and funny experience I had with my hubby at the Adidas store. We left home to shop for goods to finally have him driving to shop for a "soccer boot". He likes sport, especially soccer. Here he is at the shop and as I mentioned in my facebook profile, there are 6 steps to shop for a shoe of that kind from a man perspective: Step 1: Among several shoes on the shelves, find the one that suit your eyes. Step 2: Not so sure of your finding, take a sit and google. Then, go back to the shelves and check the names on the price tag. ...

Let's take a ride Three weeks ago, I felt the need to take off to tour my neighbourhood a bit by a lovely and shiny Tuesday morning. You can imagine my joy and surprise to have been granted the privilege to meet Mrs Duck also taking all of her family on a romantic ballad on a pond not too fancy but with enough space for them to have a fun time. Just look at her, seems like she is even smiling. You could felt her happiness and even though at first she appeared shy to me, later on she just acted like a queen in her own kingdom. Mummy's Precious So small and sooo cute. They were lovely, swimming, turning. Poor me, I don't know how to swim :( And as was unprepared to have such a genuine encounter i couldn't even enjoy their presence to the maximum. Brothers or sisters, I would never know. But tell me something: "How will they turn their feathers later to be just like their mummy?" Mistery and really incredible mother nature powers. Let's sti...

Douala is the largest city in Cameroon and the economic powerhouse .  Home to Cameroon's largest port and its major international airport " Douala International Airport" , it is the commercial capital of the country. Consequently, it handles most of the country's major exports, such as oil , cocoa and coffee , timber, metals and fruits. "Bonanjo" I've spent 11 years of my life in Douala, especially in "Bonanjo" which is a residential area, not about all the crappy pictures that are listed on Google when you mention Douala. I'm still amazed of the fact that Cameroon, is so badly referenced when it comes to areas that are worth to discover. Would you like to see an image of Bonanjo? Here you go: This is the "Place du Gouvernement", small park area in the centre of Bonanjo and the monument behind is a Memorial to the First World War commemorating French and allied losses in Cameroon campaign against G...

How do you find the effect on this picture? Quite impressive isn't it? I took this picture using a Canon Powershot SX40 and just played editing it with my phone which is a Samsung Galaxy SII. Now the apps that I used can be downloaded through "Google Play Store". They were : Picsart and Photo Wonder. Before I saved everything, I added a last touch from photoshop CS6, and I was done :) This is what the original picture looked like: Before you start editing any of your picture with a mobile photography app, always make sure that the setting is on "Large" or at least the photo size is 2048*1536 or 3264*1968 or even more to have better results regarding the resolution. I do not claim being a professional photographer. I'm passionated about photography and am willing to learn more about it whenever I have free time. Below are more of the this day shooting episode: Here is the "artistic effect 6" found in the ...

On the 6th of November 2012, I went to" Brightwater Commons" in Randburg were i shot few birds. I love nature and wildlife. That's one of my special interests in life. The bird on the left still amaze me. Such beautiful colours, majesty of the pose and such a peaceful attitude.  This one is certainly my best and i hope to put a frame on it  and hang it on my bedroom's wall in the near future. I might as well add some effects on it. But shall see that later :) When am a bit stressed, i shoot anything, from people on the streets to flowers and that  immediately  bring a smile unto my face as i play seek and hide especially with birds ;) The second star of my day was this little fella over here. He really played hard to catch and acted like a real born star.  Anyway i finally tricked him and caught him on my way back home right at my gate.  What name do you think we should give to this guy? For more of this day shooting, please ju...
