from Lovely Snorah Jones to Lady Day to Ol' Blue Eyes

Music is my life!
Hahaha!
Seriously though, I've always been a great fan of music. I grew up listening to the Golden Oldies, The Beatles(because I think they're a genre all their own :P), New Wave, and even Gospel songs. I can't remember ever letting a day end without sparing some part of it listening to some music. I believe it's actually embedded in my genetic makeup... or something of the sort(I would like to think so). As I grew older, I discovered new genres and new musicians but the bliss I get from it is still the same. Music to my ears and heart is as delicious and satisfying as vanilla ice cream is on my tongue and tummy. Now, one of my fave artists is about to release a new album next month... and I just can't wait to hear her new material. And as if the news is not enough of a teaser, I just found this new music video that made me remember why I love Ms. Norah Jones.


Then, she made me remember the following greats singing "All of Me". :P





I just love both of these versions... Lady Day with her soulful notes and Ol' Blue Eyes with his fun version.

Sing with me now! Never mind if you're off-key. ^_^

All of me
Why not take all of me
Can't you see
I'm no good without you
Take my lips
I want to lose them
Take my arms
I'll never use them
Your goodbye left me with eyes that cry
How can I go on dear, without you
You took the part that once was my heart
So why not take all of me

The Dark Horse by Marcus Sedgwick

If you're one of my cyber friends, you'd think I barely read these days because of the lack of book posts I've done lately. But actually, I'm still at it... at a much slower pace, albeit. But I'm still at it. I'm just so overwhelmed with other stuff that I barely have time to write for fun, which I think is quite sad. Downright depressing sometimes, I tell you! Anyways, the last book I've finished--that I could still remember--is The Dark Horse by Marcus Sedgwick. I've had this book for years. You see, I collect books I think I want to read and just dump them in boxes whenever my bed becomes too crowded and start to smell like an old library. So I have tons of books I've had for years but never really read. Lately though, I've been rummaging inside the aforementioned boxes because people have been asking to borrow some of my books. And the nerd in me gets excited when I get to convince people to read... so rummaged the boxes, I did. And in ...

Pardonnez-moi

It has never been much of a secret to people, or to myself, that I can be quite brutal when stating facts. Sometimes, I'm just too impatient to find ways to skirt around hurtful words and just bluntly say things that pop into my head. In short, I'm usually tactless. Other times, I'm just plain careless. But contrary to what most people probably think of me, I don't like nudging people's sensibilities. I don't like stepping on other people's toes either. And this might be a hard concept to grasp, but some people do know how to make up their own minds... and stand by them--come hell or high water. And I am one of them. I don't know why?! But with every set of friends I make, this concept seems to be quite hard for them to swallow. Why?! I just want to dodge those seemingly inescapable monikers "bitch" or "ice queen" for a change. Is that so hard to comprehend?! Yes, I know. Some people find it irresistible to goad me because I'm a p...

Funny Day

This surprised me when I pressed "home" on my net browser.  Strange, but cute. ^_^ Grazie, Google! I guess? And no, I still don't celebrate it. Haha!
