    Sorry mate but i have to admit that ive got an awful cockney accent. Ive been trying to change it to a mix slow american with aussie accent but it wont work. Its makes me feel that im not me. So i thought.. sod it why would i change it?

    My asawa was so surprised when we first talked over the phone as he was not expecting a pinay with a cockney accent. Hmmm....and then we started to meet up and it was a good laugh!

    I used to lived down Portsmouth and moved to north london and that my accent has made it worst.

    Nevermind......



    I'm a cruel and heartless bitch but I’m damn good at it!

    'Pompey' was my dad's home port when he was in the RN, and I used to go to Cub Scouts at Waterlooville.

    We used to live in a little village called 'Lovedean'. How sweet.

    You have good taste,London is where its happening



    Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
    The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.
