A Big Valentine's Day Kiss & More

When you stop chasing the wrong things, you give the right things a chance to catch you................ 

Sometimes God doesn't give you what you think you want, not because you don't deserve it, but because you deserve so much more.

Please be a traveler, not a tourist. Try new things, meet new people, and look beyond what’s right in front of you. Those are the keys to understanding this amazing world we live in.

And So - I Shall Try Again

Yesterday, I was suppose to buy a gift for my cousin's birthday. I failed. As per usual, I found everything I wanted for myself. *Long sigh*

I guess I'll try again today..........

Ohhh and do you remember my pleated skirt post? Click Here! I found one about a month ago. Yay!! I can't wait to wear it!

Another Legend Gone Too Soon

While searching youtube, to unearth my three favorite songs sang by Whitney Houston each one took me back to a distant memory. 

It's amazing what songs can do......

I remember like yesterday.

9th grade.

Choir room. 

Rainy day.

My choir teacher announced we were going to be singing "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" as one of our last performances for the year. He chose me to be the lead singer and I chickened out and told him "Noooo way, please choose someone else!!".

I recall the moment I heard "My Love is Your Love"

My mom and step-dad at that time were away on a weekend trip to Florida. My brother and I had to spend that weekend with my Aunt. I remember hearing "My Love is Your Love" playing downstairs in the kitchen. I instantly fell in love with the song.

Later that weekend, when my mom returned she asked "Have you heard that song by Whitney Houston? In Florida they are playing the reggae version to the song and people are going crazy over it. I've got to get it!"

"Million Dollar Bill" takes me back to Japan. I was watching "Good Morning America" when Whitney performed the song. I secretly waited for her to mess up. No one had heard from her in years. She ended up dong a pretty good job - a little breathy, but overall I enjoyed her performance. I was sold. I even blogged about it  (see post here).

Whitney, you will be FOREVER missed!!
