*These are Inspiring Words of Wisdom I have reflected myself on...
* I love you not because of who you are, but because of who I am when I am with you…
* No man or woman is worth your tears, and the one who is, won’t make you cry.
* Just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to, doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have.
* A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart.
* The worst way to miss someone is to be sitting right beside them knowing you can’t have them.
* Never frown, even when you are sad, because you never know who is falling in love with your smile.
* To the world you may be one person, but to one person you may be the world.
* Don’t waste your time on someone, who isn’t willing to waste their time on you.
* Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right one, so that when we finally meet the person, we will know how to be grateful.
* Don’t cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
* There’s always going to be people that hurt you so what you have to do is keep on trusting and just be more careful about who you trust next time around.
* Make yourself a better person, know who you are before you try, know someone else and expect them to know you.
* Don’t try so hard, the best things come when you least expect them to.
REMEMBER: WHATEVER HAPPENS, HAPPENS FOR A REASON.
*Nicole Scherzinger.
And I met A Goddess !
The Pussycat Dolls is very close to my heart right now. Listening, dancing to their music and watching "the Search for the Next Doll", I have become obsessed of them even more.
My Wish Came True !
On the night of April 11, 2007, I came face-to-face with the Pussycat Dolls' power voice, Miss Nicole Scherzinger as they tour with Christina Aguilera. My admiration turned into a reality, a life experience full of wondrous feelings.
Meeting Nicole is very nerve racking, my brain circling a thousand miles full of emotions. Beyond that sultry seductive Nicole lies a girl next door. Nicole is the sweetest of all the famous people I have encountered. I might have come across as one of her biggest fans, she threw me some of her words of wisdom - "Believe in yourself." Nicole embodies a very kind quality. She went beyond her celebrity status talking to me like she's one of the girls in school.
If the Pussycat Dolls would be renamed, it should be "Nicole Scherzinger and the Pussycat Dolls". Afterall, she is the voice behind the group. I cannot wait to see Nicole's solo cd out. When it does, I'll be the first to buy and own it!
*Sarah Geronimo: The Filipino Idol! Since winning the event in the Philippines, she's become the nation's darling with her charming and kind personality. She's known for singing like Celine Dion (yes! she does) and Mariah Carey combined. Her songs "How Could You Say You Love Me" and "Love Can't Lie" will really blow your mind. They are currently my favorite songs I just can't stop listening (and cry) to. See it for yourself.*www.sarahgeronimo.com
I hope to see Sarah Geronimo in the World Idol and shine there.
*Everlasting Love (Fall 2006). The newest dance club music sensation! I just love this music, bringing back the club at its best times in the mid to late 1990s. This is how club music should be played, only GTS Featuring Mink Nitegrooves/King Street nailed how dance music should be.
*A REAL IDOL: Michelle Kwan: She's More than just A Name...Bigger than any Sports >> http://usfsa.org/Story.asp?id=36509&type=news. "CONGRATULATIONS!"
Miss Michelle Kwan, the U.S. Figure Skating Champion (Jan.'05) and World Champion 2003 (Mar.'03). The 2005 U.S Nationals proved that she's the "Queen of the World" for the 9th Magnificent Time!; forget the overrated Olympics!
THE ADMIRATION OF A LEGEND"I think Michelle will leave skating a better sport than it was before she entered it. Through decades to come, people will remember her because she has been one of the greatest athletes our country has ever had. Skating is better because of Michelle Kwan." ~ Frank Carroll"Let me tell you, you can never underestimate Michelle Kwan. Because six weeks before the event she starts to get really serious, puts that incredible Michelle Kwan focus in gear, and nails it." ~ Lori Nichol"What Michelle has, you cannot teach." ~ Dorothy Hamill"I don't think I have ever seen an audience more with a skater in their hearts than they have with Michelle. She has been a lady, she has been a true competitor, she has been a wonderful person for many years." ~ Dick Button"It's no secret how I feel about Michelle Kwan's place in our sport. Every time I see her on the ice or back stage at an event, I am struck by her grace, her sportsmanship and our good fortune at witnessing her magic…I'm officially and permanently speechless at what Michelle Kwan has accomplished. I've run out of superlatives long before Michelle has run out of breathtaking performances. Last night she had her fourth or fifth once in a lifetime performance and it made me turn to my thesaurus. Under the word magnificent it listed brilliant, commanding, elegant, grand, impressive, majestic, outstanding, stunning, and radiant. I guess that's a start." ~ Peggy Fleming"She is phenomenal, her work ethic, the way in which she presents herself on the ice every time she steps on the ice is just exquisite. There is so much that is special about Michelle Kwan, she translates the feeling of flight better than anyone." ~ Sandra Bezic"Michelle is so beautiful on the ice. She obviously has the whole package of the technical side and artistry." ~ Kristi Yamaguchi"She is an incredible role model for all ages." ~ Vera Wang"She is probably groomed into one of the best competitors that I've ever known. She takes the moment and she seizes it." ~ Brian Boitano"If she doesn't win an event, it doesn't take anything away from what a great skater and athlete she is. I am very impressed by her, she is a true champion." ~ Katarina Witt"The greatest skaters in the world have the ability to open their soul to an audience. Michelle has a grace and elegance that no other women in the world has." ~ Scott Hamilton"I still think Michelle Kwan is the greatest skater in the world." ~ Debi Thomas"The beauty of skating it comes from the skater alone, from the heart, and that is how Michelle Kwan skates. She has such joy and beauty on her face, I don't think I have seen that since Janet Lynn." ~ Rosalynn SumnersAs Disney spokesman Ken Green said the decision to sign Michelle (to represent the Disney Productions) was made before the Olympics based on her previous relationship with the company. "We were planning this with (Kwan) regardless," Green said. "She's an icon ... She's got the charisma, the pizzazz, the enthusiasm and the international appeal we love."What makes Michelle Kwan More than Gold is her influence to the public and other skaters-veterans and newbies-in terms of elegance, positive character and sportsmanship. "She takes command whenever she steps on the ice...I'm out of superlatives to describe (Michelle)" - Peggy Fleming, 2004. She's the only skater who can make people cry as she's skating. Every note of a music piece is alive whenever Michelle skates. (True!) Since 1998, Michelle made me love figure skating more and more with her genuine delicate moves. She has two Olympic medals, and they are medals of a lifetime any athlete can only dream of.What has Sarah Hughes contributed to ice skating? Nothing. Irina Slutskaya and Sasha Cohen? Nothing. So, why should I care about them? Michelle will always be the finest figure skater ever. She's The Living Textbook and Heartbeat of Figure Skating! She's the most elegant, poised, and technically finessed I have admired the most on the ice. Her interviews are always sophisticated, intelligent and shows sportsmanship. She's a true role model.Michelle Kwan, You always shine! Figure skating is just not figure skating without you. I hope you stay pass 2010 Olympics, otherwise I'll stop loving figure skating. I'll quit watching it. So please...Go for Your 25th World Titles (and break records!)*If you've seen "Sunset Blvd.", there's probably no match to the drama brought by this broadway musical. "Sunset Blvd." is truly one of a kind musical masterpiece.As I am listening to my Sunset Blvd CD, it's like seeing it again right in front seat. It's intensifying, it makes me hold on my seat tightly imagining the images and the drama I saw on stage that night. This is the musical where Norma Desmond made me cry...and cry (Glenn Close won the Tony for Best Actress)I'm still surprised why "Sunset Blvd." is no longer on broadway. It's my first broadway show in Cincinnati when it went on tour. What I remember the most about "Sunset Blvd." was the spectacular image of Norma Desmond's mansion...it's just unbelievably beautiful and rich!You may have missed "Sunset Blvd." on show, but get its new CD soundtrack and listen to it over and over again. It will bring your mind into it.I just hope it goes back on broadway again coz "Sunset Blvd." is my ultimate favorite...!*"War Of The World", June 29,'05. "WoW!" Oh my gosh...And it has lived up to its hype. "War of the World" was loud, suspenseful and really scary. On top of these, the visual effects were just stunning! I docked in my seat during the lightning scenes coz it was like happening on top of me. The sound effects was just loud, I had goosebumps all
over my arms during the alien attacks, and on aliens themselves!Steven Spielberg's in one of his best...again.
So, watch out...! In "WoW", you might get hit by the lightning.*And it's time for me to write.I m still haunted with BAD experiences of the Britney Spears concert on Nov. '01. As a devoted "fan", I anxiously waited for this event since the day of its ticket sales. A long month wait, I really psyched myself showing off what a devoted "fan" would react to his inspiration.A week before the concert, I found out that Britney was actually in-town (Columbus, Ohio) already making her kick-off concert. Excitedly, I took every chance possible to try to meet her speaking to different authorities in-charge of the concert. I got no result but disappointment. I felt that I should ve been given an opportunity to get closer to her being the huge fan I "was". (Being the first one in-line to buy her ticket, talking to authorities, etc.) There were other people who actually encountered Britney who shared to me their bad stories. "She doesn t even look at anybody she continued to walk pass this little girl she s only nice to people who works with her." One girl spotted her in the mall (with Justin) pursued to follow them while no one else was around but she never stopped to give autograph. When she got in her car, this girl cursed her out, "You fucking bitch! I thought you re a good idol to 4 year olds ", while Britney s window was down. I thought that was funny.Instead, I met the group O Town created by MTV. It was a nightmare encounter with their manager who threatened my life after I got close to one of the members. MTV needs to reevaluate their motives. Where s the diversity and tolerance it promotes when my experience with their creation turned out to be madness? MTV is such hypocrites. The day of the concert I watched from my seat as O Town performed, I felt creepy.The moment arrived for Britney s performance, the concert was all glitzy and fireworks. There s nothing new to it since the ideas are copied off from other concerts, like Janet Jackson s or Madonna s. Although the props are excellent. The creator of those ideas should have given credits. And the dancers oh! If it wasn t for the dancers, this concert would not be good. And the problem with Nationwide Arena, don t you try to get up on your seat or you d be told "Get back to your seat" by the security, like you re a little kid. Nationwide Arena knew this attention will all be gone after this concert hype, and it has now. They re back to nothing.After experiencing what it would be like to see Britney in person, I realized my madness. True she inspired me there for a moment to love dancing more. But every dancer can be Britney Spears. Her dancers are as good, or better, than her. She just carried the name.I was wrong to admire Britney Spears because I thought she s nice and sincere to people who pay her respect for what she projects up on stage. The smiles and the "little girlie" image she presents are nothing but choreograph. In real life, she s not what she seems to be. I m disappointed of the whole Britney experience; it left me exhausted.Britney Spears is not someone to be idolized. I didn't even bother to buy her newest CD; why would I waste my money on her?!*A Taste of NSync. It may have been just curiosity that prompted me to see NSync in concert. Why do people go ga-ga over them? What is really about them? Seeing them live was the answer.Getting the ticket for their concert was such an ordeal. At 4:00 AM, I was the last in line with other campers in their sleeping bags. Finally at eleven, I was lucky enough to get a ticket for myself - all sold out in just 7 minutes. Amazing! Anticipation built for two months.November 11, 2000. The most awaited NSync concert at MCI Center, DC. The coliseum was packed. I could only see their faces on monitors, but could see them all on stage perfectly. NSync is just awesome live! It's so neat to see them all perform "n-sync-tively" - they'd come together then separate like a kaleidoscope. They're all very energetic; not to mention, very cute! The most charming one in the group is Justin. I love his smile :) (I'll just have to compete with all the girls out there Any comment?)Thinking about it, there is no other group who perform with NSync's energy. I've attended other concerts, but they stood out because they did not have other backup dancers or singers. They performed all. Since, I relive this concert when I listen to their tape. "This I Promise You" will always bring tears in my eyes, and "Digital Get-Down" is my other favorite <<< the best song in their concert.To experience NSync, see them live! [If U could get a ticket...LOL!]*Here's a concept... : You're entitled to criticize celebrities if you can perform like them? So first, look at yourself and compare yourself to them. Then, ask, "Can I do that?" Now, only people who know good and hard work stage performance can relate to other performers. If you don't relate to this concept, then you have a mental illness called "jealousy". You have to be as good as them, or better. Agree ?*Celebrities come up with attires supposedly to draw attention, and Jennifer Lopez has gone beyond any entertainer. No matter how you put the suit, if it doesn't fit, it's not for you. This is the area where JL stands out above them. Acting-modeling, she fits any wardrobe. In music, her professional dancing makes her videos first rate. I have now become a complete fan of Jennifer Lopez. (In DC, they refer me as a "Jennifer Lopez"; I see that now as a huge compliment.)My current favorite songs which I'm sure can ease your heartaches, too, guaranteed! 1. "Do You Hear It?", Lea Salonga 2. "Land of the Loving", Lea Salonga 3. "Promise Me", Lea Salonga 4. "What's Forever For?", Billy Gilman
