**Sidilla's Flim***



My internship sent me to a company that they are partnered with. Sidilla's films helps them create films, competitions and games to promote on their websites and to contact British celebrities to participate in their organization. I went there early to show good decor :D, however, I got lost. I was within the right neighborhood but the house didn't have the number in the right location. Their neighborhood are different from American blocks. You could be walking up one block and the road changes five times + depending on the Borough. Next door to house 17, I had asked a lady for help. Eventually I was in the right area. While I was at her house, I left my notebook and paperwork. OMG I felt madd lost without it. It had all my info such as blog entries and my internship contact information. My roles: I will be helping them with a viral campaign and I will contact British celebs PR'S so the celebs could be a part of the competition. Afterwards I went home to take a little nap



***Np sister 6****

At around 6:30pm, I met with NP sister #6- Miss. Nic. We went around the London's "EYE" by Westminster Abbey. We went a restaurant there, the food was banging. It was Japanese style. That restaurant must be a popular place cause it was crowded. Afterwards we walked around the strip! WE had good convo talking about U.S/U.K, work ethic. She made a good point, she would never work in the U.S because she doesn't understand why the workforce requires so much work and little vacation time. They wonder why many of us are burnt out!!! We also talked about hip-hop. I didn't know that British artists have a difficult time in shining in the U.K, many of them have to travel to the U.S for stardom : Estelle, Leona Lewis, Floetry and etc. Their hip hop scene is on point. I need to check out their GRIME music!!!Good experience one again.

**** Karaoke****
While I was heading home, I met up with KATE AND SAM again. We went to Millers (another pub). That night it was Karaoke night. I was feeling bold and decided to "sing" FYI I don't have vocal talents at all. I sung ACE OF BASE- ALL THAT SHE WANTS RAY CHARLES- HIT THE ROAD JACK, I had a good time, the crowd loved me especially the energy that I put in. This guy insisted on taking pics with me and my friends. I aint gonna front, I thought he wanted to steal my camera and he called me out on that.

Everyone was having a good time until these two American Girls were upset. Supposedly one of the girls was getting hit on by an older guy meaning the guy was flirting with her. Whatya expect Alcohol+ Pub+ karaoke night= Flirting. It seemed as if they never been around an older crowd of people. She was making US look bad. The sweet person that I am, I consoled her :D. The only way I would understand her sorrow was if the guy tried to rape her. But IMO, it seemed like innocent fun. That girl needs to tighten up cause as a tourist, you don't wanna get taken advantage of and break down in public. The faculty tried to give her the best ways to get home but after a while they had the "fu** it!" attitude and said " you on your own". They have sympathy for women but not like we do in the states.

Moral of the blog: Man up in a different country and have a good time while traveling. also Karaoke is my new hobby :D
