Cherryl Cole down with Malaria in Tanzania

Cheryl Cole who caused quite a Ruckus on her arrival in Tanzania, she currently hospitalized being treated for malaria.
Poor Cherryl, thats like a 'welcome to Tanzania' i had Malaria twice when i got here!!And  I dint even see it coming, i had the treated mosquito net, the bug sprays, repellent lotion, everything! they just mutate these mosquitoes I tell ya!

Cherryl Cole in Tanzania a few days before getting 'Malariad' up
She was admitted to hospital after reports she had fainted during a photo shoot at the weekend,On Monday, it was confirmed Cole had cancelled all of her work commitments this week on the advice of doctors.She had been taking Anti-malaria tabs her spokesman confirmed but ya know, it didnt work! I've taken so many anti-malaria medication that my blood should be filthy to the little devils, you'd think they'd be scared to even get close to me but Nooooo!....they just keep on biting!

Reports from The Sun reported Cole collapsed at a photo shoot for her second solo album on Saturday and was diagnosed with exhaustion and gastroenteritis.The early symptoms of malaria include a headache, aching muscles and weakness or a lack of energy which sometimes can be confused for flu or exhaustion which is a rather common mistake until it gets wild.

Cheryl alongside other celebrities, climbed Mount Kilimanjaro for charity in March last year and raised £3.5 million for Comic Relief for use in Africa and the U in which Some of the money raised is helping to tackle malaria in Africa,now isnt that Ironic?Comic Relief chief executive Kevin Cahill said it was "deeply unfair" that Cole had caught malaria after the star had "done more than her bit" to help prevent the disease.
He said: "We're very sorry to learn that Cheryl has been diagnosed with malaria and wish her a speedy recovery."Cheryl did an amazing thing climbing Kilimanjaro last year and raising millions to buy bed nets for thousands of families and children in Africa - the first step to preventing malaria," he added.
A good job she did but mosquitoes know good blood when they smell and Cherryl here, had it! Its Official..Malaria is a Bitch y'all! Looks like the mosquitoes marked their territory and are sending her an a message 'we dont want you here with your kill mosquitos operation' They went straight to the big boss, aint that a bitch!

Greetings from a Grieving La Princessa

Hello there!

people of all corners, many might have noticed I have been missing fora while, a long while and I am sad that I disappeared for so long, but sometimes circumstances withhold and we're left with not much to do. This year has been both good and bad for me for so many reasons but i guess all does happen for a reason, right?! (chuckling a cheese cake)
The tragedy of death is undefined and it cannot be explained, some think they can handle it so they cover their faces with a smile and warm handshake and its over some cry it out, me, i don't know what to do, but since I am poetess... I will write right through it. I lost my grandfather last week,Saturday.When I came back to Tanzania, i guess i waited too long before seeing him, unaware that i only had days before he departed this earth for a greater place and so i waited and waited not knowing i wasting precious time, and when i did go see him, he died on my arrival. It was quite hard for me,for my family. We held each others hands and walked right through it and we're good. I thought, we were all devastated and  we're all sad, that everyone was grieving but I was wrong, you meet so many different people with different personalities at a funeral, different reasons for being there. Our family,friends of the family and companions took a road trip to the southern highlands of Tanzania to bury him in our family graveyard and it was the saddest longest road trip of my life! You laugh but there's no happiness, you smile but its only your lips that are smiling, death is such a hard thing to swallow, they say time heals all wounds...and i hope i can heal mine, in time. It scares me when i think about it, either way, life goes on.And my world goes on.... For all those who wrote to me, saddened that I couldn't write back but I hope you understand. But I'm back now!!!
Cheerio!
