Retro Music: R.E.M. - Shiny Happy People


R.E.M - Shiny Happy People. I love this song, even if it is an old song. I can not believe that it is already 21 years old! As a little girl I have heard it a lot. My parents had it recorded on a video cassette. The videotape was with former MTV songs and whenever we did not like the TV program, we turned the video on. The family then sat together and had a cozy time. Such times were the best! I can remember more likely of such moments, than the gifts I have received in my childhood. So that was a small jump in my childhood but now back to the future :)

I look forward to this day, I have prepared some interesting posts!

Do not miss it!

Togo opposition leader calls for sex strike!



A Togolese opposition leader, Isabelle Ameganvi calls on a weeklong sex strike, so that arrested demonstration participants are released. Last week the security forces had arrested 120 demonstrators in a clash between the security forces and the protesters. The protesters are against the new electoral reforms that favor in their view the ruling party.
Meanwhile, 112 were released, but the remaining eight were in possession of weapons (knives).
"I am inviting all women to observe a one-week sex strike, fasting and prayers to set our arrested brothers and husbands free," says Isabelle Ameganvi, "So all you ladies have to keep the gate of your 'motherland' locked up to all men up from Monday to Sunday." In this context, the women should wear red pants to express their anger!
If the prisoners are not released until Thursday, the women will storm the jail naked to force the release.

"We await them, in a state of rule of law like ours, we will get them arrested for offending moral values​​," security minister Damehane Yark said.

I wonder how this story continues.

What's your opinion, is it the only way for women to put pressure on a government, especially in Africa?

The first man on the moon is dead!


The first man on the moon is dead!  Neil Armstrong was the first man to set his foot on the moon, which was on July 20, 1969. His saying: ". That's one small step for (a) man, one giant leap for mankind" is legendary Neil Armstrong died at the age of 82 years.
He will always be remembered!
May his soul rest in peace!
When I heard of his death, I immediately have to think of the hit song by REM: "Man on the Moon"
Just listen to this beautiful song.


I wish you a stress-free Monday.

The Dynamites - Chineke Idi Mma




Good morning Dears,
our little trip to the relatives went very well. Finally it's Sunday, I love Sundays, this is the only day you spend with the family and the only day dedicated to God alone. The song Chineke Idi Mma from The Dynamites is a modern nigerian gospel song. It is quite different but not bad at all!
Enjoy your day with your loved ones and be happy that this week was a beautiful one and look forward to the next week!

Stay blessed
