Songs of The Weekend

This weekend these songs have been popping up in my head all weekend long, so I though I would share.  Grace Potter And The Nocturnals' Colors and Lady Gaga's You And I.  Enjoy!

What do you get when...

What do you get when you cross a monkey with a rabbit?

Something Different

Today I witness something I had never seen before.  I've seen it in different ways on the TV, but never ever before in real life.  I saw the miracle of life........................   -.- through a cat!  I saw a cat giving birth.  I can honestly say I am scarred!  That image is burned in m brain forever!  Somethings you can't unsee (I know it's not a real word, but you got the idea, you understood me!)  !

Also, I got a call from the doctor and she wants to see me soon.  I'm nervous, I'm thinking it's the results of a test, they must have came back with abnormal results.  Please pray with me for me!!  



And the song of the day is:

Teenage Dream by Katy Perry.  Enjoy!!!

A New Light

Sometimes something happens that makes you look at things in a different way, everything seems different.  You get a new perspective; and sometimes that's all you need, a new perspective, a new way o look at things.  The bad disappears or turns into good.  It's just a thing of time, patience, persistence and being able to view things under a new light when the way they are now is not working for you.

To some it may seem like and explosion, but if you look at it differently, it may be a fireworks show!

This is your song of the day,  Pyro by Kings of Leon!!!  Enjoy!

In a Taylor Swift state of mind...

In honor of her Entertainer of the Year Award this week at the CMA Awards I leave you with:

Love Story

Sparks Fly:

Mine:

Yeah, I'm feeling like that!  These will be your videos & song of the weekend!  Enjoy!

Hello, Again!

Hi!  I know it has been quite a while since I last posted here.  But I've been cray busy and I've been trying to create a new routine, and that is a hard thing to do.  In order for a routine to get established as so, time has to go by, and I have a serious time deficiency!  Things have changed.  Things are falling into place.  I feel hopeful.

The last 26 hours of my life have been a fairy-tale and have left me wonderstruck.  It feels amazing when that happens.  Happiness is but a moment, and when it comes, you have to embrace it, and so I shall embrace!  Please do the same, when happiness knocks at your door, take it as it is and enjoy it, because all moments pass and all we have is their memory and the hope that similar moments come in the future.

Maroon 5 - Moves Like Jagger ft. Christina Aguilera

Th

I've gt this song stuck in my head, s I'll make it your song of the day.

Rihanna - We Found Love (Official Video) ft. Calvin Harris

One More Time

And one by The Veronicas

What do you say if we call this our song of the day?

THis says it all...no need to write the words

And Sometime I'll be as strong as the first part and I'll always be hoping for the second part!

Haunted

Enterrarte donde tu presencia no duela. Esconderte donde tu recuerdo no me lastime. Es tu recuerdo mas cortante que una navaja. Es tu ataque peor que el todo que siento con esta nada. No hay nadie peor que el que hiere y engaña a quien solo supo darle amor a sabiendas de lo que eso causaría. Tu presencia me sigue hasta tu ausencia. Y me quema este fantasma de lo que pudo haber sido y por ti, no fue. Me pesa en el alma y sigo cogiendo el anzuelo y no puedo dejarlo ir. You haunt me.

Something New

Hi!  How are things?  Lately I've been feeling a little down because of sentimental reasons.  Whenever this happens to me I tend to do several things, like keeping busy, listening to music, watching TV,  watching movies, reading, writing, etc.  Another one of those things that make me feel better when in this situation is therapy, retail therapy to be more specific.  This las friday (Oct. 14) the newest Apple iPhone, the iPhone 4S came out.  I am an Apple fangirl, but I have never been the type to go and make lines to buy their things when they come out.  But since I was feeling down, my phone (an iPhone 3G) was old and slow and I was eligible for an upgrade, I decided o go for it and treat myself.  So now I am the proud owner of an iPhone 4S.  This is the fastest phone I have ever used.  It operates at incredibly fast speeds, it browses the web at great speeds, i feels almost instantaneous, I haven't had a dropped call, it looks beautiful, it takes great pictures.  I am in love with my new phone. :)  Steve Jobs did me good on this one. Just writing about it makes me all giggly inside!  Hahaha!

Without You by Usher & David Guetta

This song has been stuck in my head all weekend long.  Also, Usher looks, hot (as always).  The video has an utopic, positive, world coming together through music, while the song is a love song.  Usher is in it!!  (That is very important to me)  hahaha!  Take this song as your song of the day!  Enjoy!

Lying Is The Most Fun A Girl Can have Without Taking Her Clothes Off- by Panic! At The Disco

This is your song of the weekend, enjoy!   It has strong lyrics, but sometimes you just want to make a point.

Candyman by Christina Aguilera

It's gonna be on next week's Glee!  I love this song!   It's fun!!!!  This is your song of the day!  Enjoy!!!

El Final by V Sueños

This is therapy!!!

Enjoy!!

Quote of the Day

"Nothing ever really ends, does it?"--The prophet Chuck in the series Supernatural

Quote of the day

"Time is fleeting,
Madness takes it's toll"  --From the Song The Time Warp from The Rocky Horror Picture Show

Time

I've been thinking about time.  It is a real thing that is made up.  I know I'm using conflicting adjectives to describe it but it's true.  Let me explain my self.  It is real in the sense that we move, grow, change, experience things and live.  It is made up in the way in which we measure it.  Hours, minutes, days, years as concepts are made up by humans.  I believe that measuring time makes it appear to go faster.  I remember that when I was a child, Days where sooooo loooong, and summer lasted forever!  That is soooo not the case now. -.-  The difference?  I am more aware of the concept of time and it rules my life in a certain way.

Time is fleeting and it's made up of moments, which by definition are momentary (hahaha!  I did it on purpose).  So I try to use my time in a way that is fulfilling for me.  All this thinking and pondering about time brings me to relationships.  In a relationship you spend or share your time with someone else.  The thing is that time is the one thing we may never get back, there is no way to gain lost time.  So, the time you spend with someone is the biggest gift you can give, as the time someone spends with you is the biggest one you can receive.   Be aware of this and appreciate it people, cause as I said, that person will never get that time back.

Let's not take time for granted, ours or someone else's.  Time is the biggest, most meaningful and most important gift ever,  a way to truly show that you/he/she/they care.

Fear(less)

There are people in this world who live in fear.  That is no way to live.  And I mean different types of fear.  Did you know that your fear can hurt someone else?  Currently I'm going through a situation (as you may have noticed from my song selections for Song of the Day these past days), in a nutshell, I am in love with a guy who is in love with me but is afraid to make it official.  His being afraid and indecisive hurts me in many many levels.  I try to live my life without letting fear keep me from doing things.  Sometimes you need to take a risk, take a chance, jump.  And as one of my go to singer-songwriters, Taylor Swift, has defined it, that is what being fearless is about.  There is no way not to experience fear, ever; but you can use it as inspiration or you can let it hold you back.  I choose not to let it hold me back.  and yes, I've been hurt because of this, but also because of it I've experienced extreme happiness.

Happiness is but a moment, and moments are fleeting.  So, take a chance and cherish that moment, cause all moments pass.

Picture To Burn by Taylor Swift

Apparently I'm sending out a message!  Hahahaha!   This is your song of the day!  Enjoy!

Smile by Lilly Allen

Cause Karma sometimes need a helping hand, and it's called payback!  i love the video!  Enjoy this is your song of the day!

A day off

I decided to take the day and do nothing, a way to try to clear my head, to forget my troubles.  It kind of worked. It was a rainy day (my favorite kind of days) and it was Saturday, so I decided to skip my schoolwork and rent movies.  I rented three movies to watch with my mom (she's a movie buff, almost as much as me).  Renting the movies was an experience on it's own.Turns out that the place where I rent the movies, is where an old flame that wants to come back works...so, me, never burning a bridge, had to get all dressed up to rent a movie...I saw him, he saw me, his interest was sparked, mission complete :)

I rented Limitless (good), Let Me In (not for me) and Priest (so-so).  Watched them one right after the other, it was a mini marathon, after which I watched Saturday Night Live (good, but not as much as I expected it to be).  Also, before renting the movies, I went to eat at an all you can eat restaurant, did I pig out or what!?!?!  Now, hours later, my stomach still hurts...

Write to you later!  Keep those e-mails coming!

Don't Hold Your Breath by Nicole Scherzinger

I want to internalize the message of this song!  This is your song of the day, enjoy!

Rabiosa by Shakira

Your song of the day!

Just wondering....

Lately I've noticed that I have this habit.  I want to share this with you, to see if any of you does the same thing or if it's just me.  So, here it is:
Sometimes,  certain events, or words or phrases make a song instantly appear on my mind and start playing...it's like I'm soundtracking my life, as it happens...  is this weird or does it happen to anyone else?  Have I officially watched too much TN and movies, have I crossed the line and gone crazy?   Hahahaha!!!  Just wondering!!!!  LOL!!

Shake It Out by Florence + The Machine

I love this song!  The lyrics fit right into my current situation!  It's the new single from Florence + The Machine's upcoming album Ceremonials.  Enjoy your song of the day!!

Something old..

Today was a good day, correction a great day.  I had lunch with an old friend.  IIt had been more than a year and a half since we last saw each other and months since we've talked.  We spent hours together.  I needed that.  One of the best ways to measure a friendship is to put time and space between the two...and if after a long time you just come together like no time has passed, you've got a winner!!  I have several friends like that and I love them!!  Do you have any friends like that?

Obvious by Christina Aguilera

Your song of the day!   Today I was talking to an old friend and we were talking about a certain someone and this song came to mind.  Enjoy!

The Beatles- With A Little Help From My Friends

This is how I survived this weekend and how I'm getting over the blues!

The Cure For The Blues

This last weekend I got a visit, a visit I would rather not have had, I got a visit from the blues.  Certain things happened with certain people that got my mind working extra on thought I'd rather not have.  In my long experience with the blues I have come to find that there are several things that help a lot.  First, friends, true friends, the kind of friends that listen to everything I had to say, two and maybe three times, the kind of friends that feel for you and empathize with you.  I am lucky enough to have several of these friends, but this last weekend one in special, Eguie, was my salvation.  I have come to find that what The Beatles said was true, I do get by with a little help from my friends.

True friends are hard to find, I know it's a cliche, but truer words have never been spoken.  So, although this weekend one person gave me a reason to cry and be sad, my friends gave me many more reasons to smile.  This friend of mine and me, we have a passion in common, music.  This is another ingredient of the cure for the blues.  I listened to a lot of music this past weekend, I discovered new music, rediscovered old music and indulged in some of my favorites.  I have a special playlist on my iPod for when this happens.  Thanks to a little music exchanging with my friend, that playlist grew.  Music is powerful.  Music heals.  It connects us and gives us a sense of not being alone, someone else has been through the same thing and made it to the other side.  Through music you can speak to other people or say things you would be able to say other wise, or in such an eloquent way (Cee Lo Green's Fuck You anyone?).  How I listen to music varies, sometimes it's while I'm driving, my car is my therapy room.  While I'm stuck in traffic I tend to sing, cry and sometimes even scream, after which I tend to feel sooo much better.  Other times I'm alone in my bedroom, with the lights off (sometimes with a glass of wine ;-) , but I tend to to this only when I'm alone and know I won't be interrupted, since tears tend to come along), also, I love to hear music while I'm reading, a little background something.  This gets me to my other ingredient in the cure for the blues.  Reading.

I love to get lost in a good book, and ever since I began law school this has become  a reward, a little vacation.  I have no time to read for leisure anymore (sadly), but when the blues come to visit, everything else tend to go to hell and I have to indulge in myself, since I'm good for nothing else while in that condition.  SO I pick up a good book, put some music on and read.  I get so lost in the story that my mind switches off for a while and I forget about the blues or what/who gave them to me.  I have a very vivid imagination ( I like to think I owe this partly to the fact that I have always read, since I was a little girl), so vivid that I tend to picture what I read in my mind and sometimes, after reading something, I'm not sure if I read it on a book or saw it on a movie or TV.  Which gets me to the last of the ingredients of my cure for the blues (at least the last of the big important, never fail ingredients, there are other but, I've already written way to much), movies and TV.

I find that watching a movie, which movies depends on what caused the blues, also helps.  At least just a little, getting lost in someone else's story, making an artificial connection and empathizing with someone else, seeing that there are worse things that people have come out from, that gives me strength.  This last weekend I was in the mood for  (500) Days Of Summer, The Break-Up, The Way We Where, An Affair To Remember and Back To The Future.

I know for a fact that I have written mire than enough, so  write to you later...feel free to comment!!


Music from this weekend:

And more I won't bother you with...

Here are some of the trailers for the movies:

Little Big Town - Shut Up Train

Country On My Mind

Quote of the day

"Dentro de la propia contradicción está la solucion que andábamos buscando...Qué es eso que te condiciona pero que tanto adoras? QUE ES ESO QUE ADORAS, PERO QUE TANTO REPRIMES? Qué es eso que reprimes pero que te libera? Qué es eso que te libera, pero te condena? Qué es eso que te condena, pero amas? QUE ES ESO QUE AMAS, PERO QUE RECHAZAS?"-Gordos

What this means is:

"Inside the contradiction itself lies the solution that we have been looking for... What is that that conditions you but that you adore so much?  What is that which you adore, but that you suppress?  What is that which you suppress but frees you? What is it that frees you, but that condemns you?  What is that which condemns you but which you love?  What is that which you love but you deny?" from the spanish language movie, Gordos.

I leave you the trailer of the movie:

Think about it....it's kinda true

Here you can see the scene where the quote was taken from:

Perspective

There is someone in my life who has the ability to affect my mood.  He can make me the happiest person in the world and then bring me crashing right back down to Earth.  I hate that he can do that.  And although I've been seriously trying to "revoke" this power of his, it's a hard thing to do.  There is nothing worse than having the person who you love, love you back and refusing to, impeding the two of you to b together, all because he had a bad experience in the past.  But, hey buddy, buck up!  We all have been hurt!  Why should I pay for a crime I didn't commit?

Speaking of paying for crimes you didn't commit, did any of you listen or read about Troy Davis?  He was executed yesterday for the homicide of a cop years ago.  The thing is that apparently evidence arose that brought a reasonable doubt about his culpability.  Lots of people rallied to get a pardon, but after several delays, it didn't happen.  I can't tell you more about it, because this is all I had time to find out.  Do you guys know anything else?  Are you for or against the death penalty?  I am strongly against. An eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind.  That's what I think.  In my eyes, the death penalty makes the justice system into an organized murder system.

Writing about Troy Davis has made me think about several other things.  Getting another person out of my mind for a while.  It also puts things in perspective, there are people who have it way worse and eventually this too shall pass.  This reminds me of a scene in Bridget Jones Diary 2: The Edge of Reason, where she realizes that Mr. Darcy isn't as bad a boyfriend as she thought.  Here you have, fr your viewing pleasure:

Isn't technology great?  The way we can communicate?  The fact that there is a place where apparently every piece of video ever made exists for us to watch whenever we want to?  I just blew your mind off! hahaha!! LOL!

Turns out that life and how we experience it is all based on perspective.  I have written this before, but in other words.  So, it does depend on seeing the glass half full or half empty.

Kenny Chesney - You And Tequila ft. Grace Potter

Just because it's true

LMFAO - Sexy and I Know It

This is today's video of the day!! Very funny!!

Old Habits

Have you ever realized how easy it is to fall back into old habits?  The thing is that most of these habits were left behind for a reason, they tend to be bad for you.  That is my case, I have this guy in my life, who I swear is the love of my life, and because of that, I have suffered because of him more than I had suffered before in my life.  We (him and I) have this tendency of being hot and heavy for a few weeks and then he slowly gets lost and creates space between us and then disappears, this is when I get sad and pathetic; after a while a begin to be fine and then he reappears and I receive him with open arms.  And then, I fall back into the habit.

Falling back into old habits is easy.  I believe this is because it is known territory and it's comfortable. And although we all know change (as well as shit) happens, we kind of resist to it (at a subconscious level maybe?).  A way to resist to it is by keeping things the same, or going to what we know.  Enter old habits.

Should I consider him an old habit and me receiving him back as me falling back into them or should I blame it on wishful thinking and blind optimism? I am a law student, I have a bachelor's on psychology and I love to argue.  SO I can make a strong case for either one of those options.  I kind of think that it's a gray area and falls somewhere between both options.  I wish and hope that WE will work eventually and because of this I allow things to go the way they do, because that is how I can keep him in my life.

Old is known and known is comfortable as comfortable is easy (even when it's bad for you, cause you kow how to deal with it).

This reminds me of a song by Christina Aguilera...

Happiness

     Lately I've been thinking a lot.  Sometimes it does me more bad than good.  But these days I've been pondering about happiness, love, relationships and life.  In the words of the unmistakeable Marty McFly, "that's heavy"; I know.
    Most of us think that we've been in love, turns out most of us are wrong. I had several boyfriends before, and each time I thought I was in love,  Then, exactly a year ago I met someone who turned out to be a game changer.  Under weird circumstances and what I believe was destiny/God/fate, I fell in love and I realized I had never before been in love.  By game changer, I mean life changer.  Life is like a game.  We play according to a set of rules we ink we know by heart, and then it goes and changes.  The thing is we have to keep playing.
      I have learned that we are responsible for our happiness.  We should never make anyone or anything else besides ourselves be responsible for it.  Because in the long run things disappear and people come and go, and if we had made one of those things or one of those people responsible for our happiness, they might just as easily take it along with them.   But we ourselves are always gonna be by ourselves sides.  It all depends on the way we react to things.   I know all of this is easier said than done.  But as in most games, practice makes perfect.   And thats the way I have decided to live my life.
      Suddenly, the book, Tuesdays With Morrie came to my mind,  I read that book on my first yea r of college, fr my ENglish class.  TUrns out I loved it and that in this last year I have found myself thinking abut it a lot.  It has helped me change my outlook on life a lot and get over a lot of things.  It's a god read, I recommend it.
      I just noticed it's Friday (insert Rebbeca Black's song here....hahaha!!), so I'll get deeply into what I've mentioned above later.  And as a song by Train says "as long as we've got time, this ain't goodbye".

So, I found this and really liked it.. thought I should share

This song goes out to someone special...

I just came to say hello!

Martin Solveig & Dragonette - Hello (Official Music Video) [HD]

Such is life

Hello!

Turns out that I have ALWAYS loved to write, it has always come ind of easily to me.  But I've always been kind of skeptical about creating a blog of my own.  It made me feel kind of vulnerable against the universe to expose all of me (since everything I write comes from within me, in some way or another I AM  exposing myself to you) to anyone who's willing to read.

I believe that writing is therapeutic.  Life is hard and (cliche alert!!!) and it makes for a roller coaster of emotions and events and things, it's hard to explain... but sometimes it feels like some therapy indeed is necessary.  Most of the time music is my therapy.  Life without music, to me, is unimaginable.  TV and movies help a lot too.  Reading is also a great one, one I can't indulge in as often as I want because of the time factor but still...  If reading helps me, it helps somebody else.  So this blog is an attempt for me to familiarize myself with you.  I'm an average girl leading with life.  Writing helps me deal with it, I hope reading it helps you.  You can also write to me, I love to read :)

I'm in love with music.  I'm a law student, I have a bachelor's on Psychology and I plan to get my masters and doctorate eventually.

What to expect from this blog?  Well, you can expect to read about my life, about music, movies, tv, current events...you can expect everything and anything.  I'm not making any promises.  Some posts are gonna be long (like this one) some are gonna be short.  I'm  gonna try to post as often as possible.  Also, I'm gonna try to star a song/video of the day thing.  That song maybe stuck in my head for no reason, maybe it's the theme song of that day, it may express the way I feel or it may be a message to a certain specific someone.

Let's share life...  :D
