Early Christmas time?

Hi buddies :)

I hope you enjoyed music from the last post. I'm listening to it right now and I'm amazed again. Over and over. "Good thing about music, when it hits you, you feel no pain." - Bob Marley. Man's got a point. Except when the song reminds you of someone/something... Than it brings out more memories than anything. All in all, I just wanted to say: Enjoy music!

And now onto my topic. I was in the center of my city, on the main square. You can see, smell and feel Christmas coming. I'm not one of those persons who like to celebrate Christmas two months earlier and I don't really like the fact that the whole city is decorated in the beginning of November, but, I love Christmas. It's my favorite holiday. And everything seems prettier and more peaceful. The streets are beautiful. We're just waiting for snow to start falling. Hopefully it will begin soon. I always want a "white Christmas". And, as much as I love this time of the year, I hate it too. Why? Presents people, presents! I have no money (I'm not working) and I have a family to buy presents for. And even if I had money, I never know what to buy. I love Christmas shopping, though. There's just something about walking in shopping centers with all those decorations, and you see Christmas stuff everywhere. And you want to buy everything! For yourself, for your family, friends, boyfriend/girlfriend. I almost bought a hundred of things today for no reason and mostly useless stuff, just pretty. Money is the biggest problem of our age, I believe. We have ideas but we can't realize them. The best thing is to make something. Or buy something that connects you to that certain person. Nothing big. Believe me, they'll appreciate it more. They don't say "something from your heart" for nothing.

New discoveries :)

Ola amigos :)

(Read the first part and listen to all the songs. If you want to know more about every video continue reading after links. Thanks.)

Have you ever been happy for discovering some great video or a song? I'm sure you have. And today I'm happy for that same reason. I just saw one video by a group Pentatonix. They are an a cappella group of five vocalists - Scott Hoying, Kirstie Maldonado, Mitch Grassi, Avi Kaplan and Kevin Olusola. Scott is a cutie, Kirstie is gorgeous and Kevin is great. Mitch and Avi are also very good but, as you know, there are almost always some persons you like better in a group. But the five of them are great together. And they're a cappella!!! How amazing is that? While listening to them, you really have the feeling that some instruments are used, but no! It's all them. They began with three friends that grew up together: Kirstin, Mitch and Scott. Then Scott met Avi, and they found Kevin on Youtube. The group won the third season of The Sing-Off on NBC, singing an a cappella arrangement of "Eye of the Tiger" which you have to listen to. I also saw a bunch of videos and great singers today on Youtube. I started with this one song and, an hour later, I was amazed by all the things I've seen. There are so many great people with great voices and talents and nobody know them. That's a shame! As I started writing this, I remembered that I've heard some great songs in the past few days. You can hear all of them lower in the post...

I don't usually do this but today, I'll share some links with you: Pentatonix - Eye of the tiger (from 9:37), Pentatonix - Little drummer boy, Ashly Williams - I will always love you, Yuridia - Como yo te amo, Barry Lyndon - Theme sarabande, Simply red - If you don't know me by now, Lines and colours - Beautiful addiction, Svenson and Gielen - Depend on you, Outlandish - I only ask of God, Attraction 1, Attraction 2.

Little drummer boy blew me away. It's so simple bus so passionate and lively. Video is, again, so simple but perfect for this song and for them.

I love Whitney and there's nobody like her but Ashly is her worthy successor.

I foud Yuridia through some talent show. Some little girl was singing this and I immediately fell in love with it. This is not original version but I like this one better.

I first heard Theme sarabande in TV Show called Adini Feriha Koydum (I named her Feriha). And I was asking everybody if they know that melody but nobody did. I found it accidentally when I saw some commercial for shoes or basketball, I don't even remember. The important thing is that now I can listen to it all day long! So peaceful...

This song by Simply red is so old but so great. It's not a new discovery, like my title says, but is worth listening.

Lines and colours are new band and I think this is their first single. It's great!! And video is good to. So much effort put in just some lyrics. Great job!

Depend on you... What to say? Old and great!

I only ask of God... Religious, inspiring. Love the end on Spanish (I think.)

Attraction (1 and 2) is a group of people playing with their shadows. They tell amazing stories just by their movement. Absolutely a must see!

So this is it. This much form me today. Enjoy Youtube and my links. Have a great day/night :)

(P.S. Andrea welcome to your homeland :*)

What matters in life?

Hi everyone. 

It's me again. Have you ever wondered what life really is? Is it just moving from point A to point B, no matter how or why? Or, is it a beautiful journey with ups and downs? I believe it's the other one. Everybody forgets the word "beautiful" because we often see only the bad part of it. And we hold on to it. Why are we all like that? I'm not a vengeful person but I can remember all the bad things that anyone did to me in the middle of the night. I also remember the fun times, times when a certain person was good to me and I really try to concentrate on that, but it's not the same. Feelings associated with bad memories are stronger, that's proven. And in this tough world we need as much good feelings and moments as we can get. We need to make somebody else's life better too. With small things. These are the ones that count. Like, for instance, today I got my test results. Math test. I passed. And I'm happy, of course. But I was even happier when I read a text message from Mr. M. saying "congratulations, you did great in math". (These are not his exact words due to translation but that's pretty close...) And then I saw the list. So he saw it, looked for my results, and sent it to me saying practically that he's proud or something like that. It's pretty great feeling knowing that somebody thinks about you. In any way. And my "friends" haven't sent anything. I haven't sent anything to anybody either but I wasn't home the whole day and I just saw this half an hour ago. And he sent me this message somewhere in the early afternoon. The weird thing is, when I opened that file, I looked for his results first. It was more important at the time. I'm sure he didn't do the same, but I knew that I did good. He told me, and he wouldn't joke about something that serious. I think. He passed to, but I passed with an A, and he passed with a D. I congratulated him as well. It's not easy to pass this. And I tried as much as I could not to sound like I'm bragging. I really didn't want to hurt his feelings. I hope he'll see it the way I sent it. Only with true positive thoughts. (I wanted to write "with love" but that would be too much...)

So, I told you this so you could see that just a simple text message can make your whole day. Send somebody a message now! Ask somebody how was their day!

Love, consideration, friendship, happiness!!

Try to understand!

Hi everyone. 

I hope you had a better day than I did. Fifteen hours outside my warm home, twelve hours in collage (I'm not exaggerating), six hours of math, two tests, wind blowing like crazy, temperature near zero. Compete with that! But, I wanted to get back to my last post. I just read it completely and I thought I could say something to backup my story. As I said before, I know that while reading this blog you could get very wrong picture of me. I'm not that person that always sits in the corner and is in heaven when somebody talks to me. Although, that's fine too. If you're shy, you're shy. Don't let anyone judge you! I am extremely happy that I found friends so quick in collage. That's why I'm sharing my first coffee and my wink situation with you. I just wondered if you laughed at me while reading the last post? Cause if you did, that's your opinion and I respect it but you have to think about every person out there who is exactly like me. They may be close to you, and you don't even know it. For example, I have two best best best friends and I love them so much but only one of them knows my "love story" and she found out about it very accidentally. Some things are easier to share with someone unknown, like I share my thoughts here with you, than with someone you actually hang out with. You really don't have to be like me, or anyone else, but you have to at least to try to understand everybody's point of view. Walk a mile in somebody's shoes, than you have the right to say something!! Have a good night Europe! :) (The rest of the world, have a nice whatever part of the day there is) ;)

Very important thing in life!!

Oh, what's that? :)

Hi guys :)

If you've known me you'd be pretty happy for me. I dare to say proud. Cause I am, of myself. Today was a pretty good day. Mr. M. winked at me in class. And yes, I do realize that I'm about turn myself into the most lame person that ever walked the face of the Earth but, believe me, I'm not the only one. I'm just the one who's saying it. Anonymously, but I'm still saying it. He winked at me for no reason. And it felt great to catch him looking at me when I looked at him. Perfect moment. He winked, I smiled. And we left it to that. We didn't do anything else to ruin that. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but it felt nice. I can really say that, for the first time in my life, a guy did something that made me happy, that made my heart pump faster and I'm not "in love" with him. Feels great to know that I finally learned to read my emotions. I don't know how long this feeling will last but I'm happy. Just happy. Period. Also, I had my first boy and girl coffee today. It was just me and Mr. T. No one else. And I was expecting something more but I think it went well. He shared some pretty private information with me. I'm not really sure if he tells them to everyone or not, but I'm glad that he felt comfortable enough to share them with me. We weren't having a long coffee because he was waiting for his class but this hour and a half was good. Better than good. And to conclude this day, I texted Mr. M. I asked him something, than he needed my help and, as you know it's really hard to explain something on Facebook, we agreed to study tomorrow. If he asks me. I won't be the one in his face offering my knowledge. :D If he needs something, he'll ask. I hope. And at the end of our conversation (he went to study again, yep, a nerd :P) he sent me a kiss. And yes, I do know that friends send each other kisses and hearts, but my heart is prepared this time. What ever happens. And if you don't believe me... Maybe you can't see anything useful in this picture but I know... Yes, I returned the kiss. I tell you guys, be happy. Seize the day. For love, for friendship, for good. You'll be much happier. This may seem like nothing to you, but this all made my day... Small things. Enjoy :*

Facebook kiss :*

I better make it right!

Be happy, be a child :)
