    Sheharazade, Don't say it can't be done, it's takes committed management and realizing the value of money and also differentiating what is needed and what is wanted, really. This has been proven sis.

    Simply put, you have to have the talent and the gift of cooking, the mild touch, the precision (just like a surgeon), the timing, the feeling and the understanding of the right flavas, the creativity and flair with ingredients, innovation with style and the ease of making the complex ingredients seem simple. How many times you thought you can do as the Chefs on the TV and yet you only realise how complicated it is after you burn the dish the 10th time...hehehe...

    Talent?? Gift?? Dude, it's just like making love, practice and persistence will make you acquire that same talent and gift, in mo time you will see your self as guru. Am I right or am I right.

    My pick for this week.

     

    [*] Nick: Alexus

    [*]

    am trying to minimise stereotypes. Black people are very much talented when it comes to sports and music. But academic wise? They are rating poorly. Majority are involved in criminal activities. Coming from a lower income family is no excuse for adapting to the surrounding environment.

    [*] Signature:

    L means land of sorrow

    O means ocean of tears

    V means valley of death

    E means end of live

    Baashi, don’t even dignify these responses with an answer.

    I wasn't wondering before and now I can't help wonder knowing you didn't sleep with her but did she sleep with you?

     

    Ps: Thanks for the advice, I will wait to fall in love until I am 22.

    It is not at all difficult to understand why people want out of Somalia, with its brutal clan warfare, its life-sapping drought and its dire poverty. In recent weeks, a surge in fighting between Islamists and Somali warlords has left hundreds dead and many more injured in Mogadishu, Somalia's crowded capital, spurring an even greater exodus. But getting out by sea to Yemen, an illegal gateway to jobs in the Middle East, carries risks that rival those on shore.

     

    How is it that fighting in Mogadishu effects 17year old living in boosaso?? Or is it one of those sharci raadis stories, am tumaal and all and so forth. I am in no position to judge, but after calculating all the necessary measurements of my trips and the possibilities of me getting raped, thrown to sharks, getting beaten and whatever have you out weighs the possibility of making it to Yemen safe and sound. I would most definitely take the route of safety.
