So you took a minute out of your day to peep my homepage all right…does that make you special? Anyway if you are here I guess you are trying to know a little more about me. Well you might know me as STR8CARAMEL, LIL_HOOPER6, EMMANUELLE_IV, or SUGAS_GYRL…and if so now you officially know me as Manuela. No, I am not Spanish although I know what you are all thinking. For the official breakdown from most to least I am Iraqi, Blackfoot Indian, Black and white. Right now I am a 20 year old Sophomore at Penn State Altoona majoring in International Business and Management, which means yes, I speak more than one language. Okay enough of the small talk; let's get down to me. I am from Harrisburg, PA born and raised. So now you know when someone says they are from Pennsylvania it doesn't mean Philadelphia. There are more cities here. I love to travel and as of now have been to six countries…Grenada, Haiti, Mexico, Barbados, St Lucia, and the Bahamas and my next adventure is to Panama. But traveling doesn't just include other countries; I am known for up and leaving school at random. My partner in crime, Nicole, and I will probably end up in a city near you soon, so be on the look out. Family… I am the youngest of 4 children and the only girl, which means you better give me my way or I will beat it out of you. The most important people to me right now are my babies, my niece and nephew, Mia and Moise. I helped raise these two, so they are and will always be my heart. To my brother John who insisted I write something to him on this page, I LOVE YOU!! In case you didn't guess he and I are very close. I grew up in the church and I know they say Preachers kids are the worst, but I am living proof that that is a lie. We are the best…. At everything. The God, my family, and church are very important to me, because without them I wouldn't be here today. No matter what is going wrong in your life you are never alone. Best stated by Cece Winans…."Everybody needs someone to love, everybody some hand to hold, everybody needs salvation for the soul, so what about you"…. I don't care how much of a thug everybody wants to think they are, everybody needs. Music and Modeling…. My first love is music and nothing can replace that. I have been singing for about 16 years, and plan to continue for the rest of my life. Now everyone runs around saying they love music, but only listen to one particular kind. I listen to all music from Matchbox20 to the WU to Cece Winans… don't come at me with that White people-Black People music stuff. So if you are ever around me, you will probably hear me sing. I have a song for every occasion and nothing can stop me from singing it. I modeled for 4 years and gave it up when I came to college. My thing was runway modeling; yes being 5'10" has advantages, so I am pretty good at walking with an attitude now. Now the only modeling I do is for BLAQPRINTS, the man that did all the pics, so be sure to check out his models page after you hit up my guestbook. This man is a genius when it comes to pictures and homepages and I am blessed to be able to work with him for both. For the men…. Sorry but yes I am taken and plan to be for quite a while. I know my boo was just waiting for me to mention that. I am a big flirt and that sometimes gets me the name of being a Playette in WBS, but that is all just lies pure lies made up by the man to keep this black woman down. Don't be a victim of THE MAN. So more than friends just isn't happening on or offline, cause he is my man both places. Sistahs…now that I actually know some females online I am feeling so very special. Look this is just a little note for you, me, and the rest of the sisters so spread the word. STOP HATING EACHOTHER. Don't steal eachother's men, don't get on eachother for no reason, it is really starting to get on my nerves. SISTERS, doesn't that imply some kind of unity and love? When one is happy be happy for her if you agree with her or not. Okay had to clarify for some females out there. Like I said spread the word and one-day if you walk into a room, all the females won't look at you like you are after their man. I can usually be found online in the WBS African American room, so you know this is the part where I shout my peeps in there. First and Foremost I wan give all my love to my Booper you know I love you baby. And of course there are JODY AKA Madison the one, and KEEF AKA Smallie Biggs. When I first started chatting, had no pics and no clue about the tricks of the trade, these two helped get me hooked, so they are the reason I am now a Chathead. Special shouts to the Nasts, ANTHONY and CHRISTAL…where my godchildren at? Luv to my WSW bruhs and to the beautiful Pearls. You know how we do. To my boyz in WBS *hugs and mad luv*…AJ (mah baby daddi), Scottie, Damian, Stan, Kenny, Reshaun, Martin, Fozzy, Gonzo, and last but certainly not least BLAQPRINTS the man behind the magic of this page…*kotc* To my sistahs…lord there are a lot now. Winter, Nikki. Jaz, Barbi, Mina, Tyra, Terrica and Terrica, Kay, I & S, Joss, and Tiff. Finally shouts to the PSU Crew Wrecking shop up in there, Mari, Detters, Jules, Mini, and Tai…. Hold it down when I am not around y'all!! If you aren't on this list…I am sure you will get over it. No for real let me know and I will see what I can do.
