Let's Talk! (Part 1)

I was walking and I saw these beautiful flowers

Hello! Everyone
Thank you to pass by my blog and I hope you always learn something and like what I do. In this post I want to share with you some interesting subjects such as fun facts and other life experiences. I will also share some Vlogs because I personally like Vlogs. You know we learn everyday and every steps of our lives. Life is full of experiences and lessons. I will update this post with new videos and stories time to time. I hope you will learn something from what I share with you. Have you been in my other blog yet? www.patacolorcarnet.weebly.com I always write and update posts in my other blog. If you have a tumblr account, you can always check pictures and music I like. (my tumblr is: http://lizzia7.tumblr.com/)
Ok!  Now what about the fun facts that I want to share with you!? The first one is about the English words difficult for French speakers. I have to be honest it is not easy to say some words because the phonetics do not exist in French. In this video I will share of these words but I know there are many others. Also some words in English they say it fast especially the American speakers and they barely articulate words the tongue goes fast.This is my experience as a French speaker in the English and French version. I still struggle with these words eventually. I guess I should enrich my vocabulary if I want to say the same thing in another way. Sorry my English is not perfect by the way! lol!😂😆
 English version: (channel Laetitia Life Diary)

This is the French version below for French speakers readers. Maybe you have been in the same situation. You know what I mean.... (smile)

 Another fact: Personal experience that I learned. Do not be too good with people. When you are too good and trust people they will fool you, use you and take advantage of you. This is an experience that once again taught me this lesson. but a good one I guess...I have to say that I am a loner. I like to be alone. I like to be on my own most of the times because I barely like being a follower to be honest. I follow only people who really inspire me by their personality or if we have a passion in common etc. However, most of the time I enjoy being on my own alone minding my business. I don't feel sad being alone that's why I do not have a lot of friends. Yes, I have a few of them but people that I can count on and who can count on me. People that I can trust. I try not to expand my circle because I need to know who is who and who otherwise it will be difficult to trust them...sorry...that's the way I am since I went through some life experiences. People are not really what they say they are in the heart. So this is the story maybe a little bit long for you...I don't know but you will learn something. Being too good is being too stupid sometimes...it's Sad and a real fact!

Not only I was hurt but I decided to go on my way and just be me and it was difficult at some point because I lost many contacts with some people that I met and knew. I lost trust in people. Those that I knew  didn't know what happened to me I was living alone in an area and neighborhood far from them just because I decided to pack my stuff and leave far from everybody. Life was changing for everyone of us at some points during the vacations and I lost contacts with those who went back to their countries. I was just going to the mall and library  sitting and reading for hours. That was my life until the academic year that is when I moved back because I was so retired and withdrawn from them.. It was kind of sad...but it was a decision based on disappointment I could be sometimes really radical.
Next subject: I shared what the English royal ladies should wear and not wear. I actually did my little research and I was more interested recently because to be honest, I didn't care much before. I mean, yes I know Princess Diana was really elegant I liked her style a lot! but then after she died I was not interested in English royal ladies anymore. Maybe I like the Spanish royals more...because they we barely see them. They are quiet they do their things and not always in press people etc. So yes...I like the Spanish royal family. what about  Kate Middleton's style...not really. I read that she really does what is asked for the royal style so good for her! Actually, I recently got interested in this subject when Meghan Markle got married to Prince Harry. I even had a post last month that I deleted because I thought it was too early to judge her style at that moment but now I kind of liking it. This is what I learned from articles. What they should wear and not be wearing. I did it in French. If you have more details and knowledge about it, I will be curious to read you in the comments below.

This one is about us ladies always being safe and check your place. Sometimes you never know. Ok! My video had at some point an issue with the volume but it comes back at some point so you will still be able to understand the story. Sorry about that you can click at 6:15 that is where the volume is back (channel: laetitia Life Diary)

In French version below 

 

Video suivanteUne histoire a dormir debout/Introduire une femme mariee a un ami? En fait pour dire vrai je n'etais pas tres sure du status de la jeune dame et comme je me souviens maintenant bien de cette experience, nous nous sommes tous rendus compte au moment ou l'homme rentrait dans la maison que c'etait non seulement une femme mariee mais aussi mere d'un enfant. Quel choc! C'est pourquoi il est important de bien se renseigner avant de faire toute chose.

Here I share an old video in English of what I learned with time

 

Another one in English that was this early year

I Recently I discovered a painter that I didn't know. The lady at the gallery told me that he was from California and traveled a lot. I like paints I like Arts in general. If you pass by Fort Worth in Texas, take a time to stop at Sundance Square really I like this part of the town. Also Fort-Worth has so many parks and museums I like this European style and feeling in this town. Fort Worth is different than Dallas for sure. I love Fort Worth and I went back to Sid Richardson museum I took more time this time to look all the paints because last month we were in a rush so I took my time to appreciate them. I posted it in my other blog

Thomas Kinkade painted a lot of paints and his nephew goes by the name of Zachary  Kinkade (I think) and he is also a painter so he carries the legacy of his late uncle. Maybe you know about Thomas Kinkade. I loved his paints especially the Flamingo dancer, the New York City vintage, the Italian Cafe, Moses opening the red sea...I dreamed in front of their paints for an hour before being back to reality lol! and yes I speak in French in the video but that's ok because you can still discover them!

The Richardson museum is a really nice museum to visit as well you can see the rest in my vlogs and the other blog.

culture & Authenticite

Dans cet article je partage juste ce que c'est d'aimer sa culture et d'etre fiere de qui on est. En tant qu'Africaine je sais que la culture Occidentale n'est pas la mienne meme si le monde veut qu'on adhere a cette culture comme etant l'ultime et la meilleure. Pourtant nous avons nos cultures et nous nous devons d'en etre fiers. Qu'est ce qu'un homme sans sa culture? Il est comme un arbre tombe tres loin de ses racines et finit par mourrir. Parler sa langue native est important et c'est le "qui on est". Je regarde souvent une application sur mon telephone ou j'apprends des mots dans ma langue. Il est vrai que certains me diront que le Francais est la langue avec laquelle on communique mais le Francais n'est pas ma langue. Biensur le Francais nous a ete impose a travers la colonisation mais elle n'est pas ma langue.
Je me souviens de cette discussion d'auteurs francophones autour d'une table dans une emission en France c'etait peut etre dans les annees 70 ou 80...Je ne sais pas mais c'etait plus vieux que moi (sourire) Les auteurs etaient de differents pays colonises par la France et de ce fait ecrivaient leur ouvrages en Francais. L'intervention de l'auteur Camerounais Mongo Beti m'avait touche en ce sens qu'il avait dit que quand il ecrivait Francais cela ne voulait pas dire qu'il pensait Francais forcement. Il pensait sa langue dabord, sa culture en fait, ce qui il etait en utilisant le Francais comme moyen de communication. En effet les peuples colonises ne pensent  pas forcement Francais dans leur tetes.
Meme quand on traduit nos langues mot pour mot en Francais ca n'a pas forcement un sens. Mais a un sens dans sa propre langue originale. Une petite anecdote: J'avais une tante (paix a son ame) qui avait fait une remarque en Francais (qu'elle parlait a sa facon. Oui parce qu'on n'est pas necessairement oblige de parler mieux le Francais que sa propre langue native) alors elle dira ceci lors d'une conversation "j'entends ton parfum! Il est fort!" pour dire qu'elle pouvait le sentir de loin. Cela nous avait fait rire mais quand on regarde bien dans la traduction ca donnera cela en langue. Bref! voila mon opinion en dessous sur le sujet. Dites moi ce que vous en pensez.

video 2

Parlant d'etre, Africaine, j'ai voulu ajouter certaines impressions sur des sujets particuliers qui concernent mon continent. Et je pense que c'est une observation et je ne sais pas ce que vous en pensez.
Alors dans ces deux videos suivantes je donne mes impressions sur les divisions entre Africains quand cela ne devrait meme pas etre le cas. Nous sommes divises pour des raisons futiles. Au lieu qu'on devrait etre unis pour le bien de l'Afrique en general

Tout le monde n'est pas xenophobe il y a toujours des gens bien dans d'autres pays. Ce qui a suscite ces videos est la mauvaise foi de certains Africains et leur commentaires sur les autres pays freres. 

La suite et fin ici. 

Et pour finir, je ne sais pas si beaucoup sont au courant de ce qui se passe actuellement au Cameroun. Mais  mon choc de voir comment entre nous on peut se traiter me fait mal. Oppresser son frere pour des raisons qui n'ont aucun sens. On n'en parle quasiment pas dans les news or la situation est grave et cela se passe depuis des annees!! Il ya de l'instabilite partout mais vraiment partout dans les pays Francophones Africains et cela fait peur. En observant bien le denominateur commun est bien la francophonie. il ya quelque chose qui n'est pas claire entre la politique de ces pays...En reflechissant je dis non ce n'est pas clair du tout. Alors ce sont les Francophones qui vont oppresser leur freres Anglophones pour imposer quoi? Je le dis tete baissee: Pour imposer le Francais. C'est la partie qui m'a mise a terre...Messieurs les gouvernants qu'est ce qui n'a pas marche pour en arriver la en fait? Voila mon avis sur ce nonsense!
