Songs in A Minor x Butterflyz

I'm listening to Songs in A Minor by Alicia Keys which is one of my favorite albums of all time. The song 'Butterflyz' just started playing and everytime I hear it I have to put it on repeat. I think one of the things I like the most is that she wrote this song when she was only 14. And I can say that I used to write like this as well, even at a young age. It's been a while since I've been in a relationship, but all I can hope for is the next man I meet makes me feel similar to this.

Mmhmn mmhmn

Lately when I look into your eyes I realize
You're the only one I need in my life
Baby I just don't know how to describe
How lovely you made me feel inside

You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz


It seems like the light you give???
From the start you told me I would be your queen
But never had I imagined such a feeling
Joy is what you bring I want to give you everything


You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky I can't control these butterflyz


You and I are destiny
I know now you were made for me
Oh oh ooh I can't control it
It's driving me
Taking me over
You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz


You give me butterflyz
Got me flying so high in the sky
I can't control the butterflyz

Sweet Dreams

Once again I'm not a big fan of Beyonce, but I loveeee this song. Not too fond of the video but I can still appreciate the song.

 

*ignore the fact that some asshole felt the need to add the backstreet boys to the end of this. wtf.

Hip Hop Weekly No. 4*

I have to say I love this song, it's my favorite LL song hands down.

She’s not like that now. She knows better. She knows now that people lie and promises can be broken as quick as they are made. She understands that she might never be loved and too quickly, good things fly in front of your eyes before you can reach out and grab them. She knows that you can’t change or help time, so every now and then, it’ll just run out. There isn’t a place for everyone in the world, so if you’re standing alone for a while, that’s why. Not everything in life comes easy, but when you work the hardest, that’s when it’s your best. You can’t always expect people to care and even when your best friends stab you in the front, don’t think for a minute they didn’t already aim for your back. They missed for a reason. She has found out too soon, that in the end, you are your own best friend. Everyone will be broken at some point in their life, and more often then not. It’s gonna hurt like hell, but you can’t stop it. You can’t change your own fate. Some things are meant to be and all the pain you go through will end up resulting in something huge. You don’t know what it is and when it happens, it’ll hit you like a ton of bricks. At some point, when you have experienced everything you can, the words “life” and “risk” won’t mean anything to you anymore. But don’t try and change that. stuff like that is meant to happen. Over time, certain things no longer have an affect on you, and that happens cause that’s the way its suppose to be. But you’ll learn all that later in life when little things like a sunrise or a spring rain start to matter. But it might catch you off guard and happen sooner. I mean, ask her. She knows.”

Halo- Beyonce

I didn't have this blog when this video first came out, and although both the song and video are old, I still love both. Ask anyone who knows me, I'm not a big fan of Beyonce, but this song impressed me.

New York Housewife, Bethenny Frankel Pregnant!

Now I absolutely fell in love with The Real Housewives of New York, mainly because that's where my family is from so I can relate with the fashion/lifestyle, etc. My favorite housewife has got to be Bethenny Frankel. She's witty, sarcastic, fun, creative, and strong. I also related with her on one episode where Jill's mother talked to her about her relationship with her father and told her not to be a 'tortured soul'. I completely understood where she was coming from and why she had the issues she did. So after reading people.com, they announced that she's pregnant! I think that's absolutely amazing. All the luck and joy to her.

Pre-School Teacher?!

I haven't been feeling well lately, so I have a doctor's appointment in about an hour. But I decided to blog about my decided major since I haven't gotten the time to. So I've changed my mind numerous times as to what I wanted to major in. I went from Nursing to Poli. Sci. to Fashion Merchandising, to Advertising and I've been all over the map with what I want to do. Mainly because I don't find a lot of things interesting. I finally came to the realization that I should do something with children. I mean I've been working with kids for over 4 years already. I've worked with ages 2-4 and I love it. So as of now my new major is Early Childhood Development. I want to teach, but I'm not sure as to whether I just want to do that or if I want a degree in Psychology and maybe do both. It's pre-mature so I'm sure something is subject to change. But making this decision, I've never felt more sure as to what I want to do with my life. I love kids, there's nothing like a child being able to put a smile on your face. No feeling, for me, can amount to it.

When people can walk away from you, let them walk. Don`t try to talk another person into staying with you, loving you, calling you, caring for you, coming to see you, or staying attached to you. When people can walk away, let them walk. Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.”

Alicia Keys- Doesn't Mean Anything

Alicia Keys has been one of my favorite artists since she first came out with 'Songs in A Minor'. I have to say over the years her style has changed, and although I haven't liked all of her stuff, I still consider her an amazing artist. This new song I can definitely relate to the lyrics, not to mention I loved the fact that she was playing the piano again, I missed that. And she looks gorgeous, as always.

I think it's funny, well not funny, more like intersting, baffling. We went from talking everyday, feelings and possibilites forming and arising, to nothing. Just like that. No explanation, no reasoning, just simply gone. Now you have me wondering what went wrong? Was it something I said, did, or didn't do? It's a shame really, but I guess that just goes to show,  just because you want something bad enough doesn't mean you'll always get it.

One of my favs! Always on repeat on my iPod.

A Tribe Called Quest - Electric Relaxation

Enjoy :)

So this weekend was pretty much a bust. Thursday night after work I went shopping with my girls Shari and Dineen. I bagged a few cute things but didn't get my uggs. Of course we had a good time, laughing at all the ridiculous people and at stupid jokes. I love chillin' with those two. Friday night I was supposed to chill with a certain someone (names will not be mentioned) but he didn't know how to get down here and I couldn't drive out to Sawgrass so that was a disappointment for me..but what else is new..So instead just ran some errands, nothing special. Saturday was the turning point I guess you could say. It was starting to get cool so that was pleasant. I went to Aventura with Dineen, which was crowded as hell! We didn't do any shopping because both of us had expenses :( Now if you know me, you know I cannot go out and not buy anything. But I surprised myself and I didn't, so kudos for me, lol. We chilled at the mall a bit, ate dinner and left early because the movie theater was beyond crowded. I guess everyone was going to see Paranormal Acitivity -_-
We ended up watching Family Guy as usual. And I was so tired I felt drunk, lol. Sunday was a horrible day. I woke up feeling like I was about to get a cold. So the day was spent sleeping and in bed. I've had better weekends, but I've also had worse. I hope everyone enjoyed theirs :)

Good Times*

Just wanted to post a few more pics. No special occasion, just spending time with my best.

Hip Hop Weekly *

So I came up with the idea to have Hip Hop videos of the week. The focus is mainly Old School and I will try to post every Monday :) Sooo here's the first one...to compliment the song playing.. I Used To Love H.E.R. by Common.

Weekend Well Spent *

Although I didn't take enough pictures, these can't begin to capture all that happened last week, I decided to post them anyway. I must say my girls are thee best <33.

Going Through The Motions

I'm expected to throw it away and act as if it never affected me. Then I'm supposed to search for the next one and begin again. Go through the phases of explaining all the firsts, how my parents marriage made me into the person I am today, what I'm looking for right now. Then the challenege approaches. Keeping him interested enough for a first date, then a second and third. Then my biggest obstacle arrises. I'm supposed to trust him. Trust that the words he says are true. And trust that this will last. Thing is I don't always have it in me to go through the motions. Sometimes too much is expected and sometimes people tend to forget that it's not easy to tell him how I've failed continuously or why I always seem sad or why I shy away from relationships occasionally. Because when you think you've met 'the one' four times, and he turned out to be anything but, and when you felt you were safe enough to display your heart, putting it behind you and acting like it never phased you can be the most difficult thing.

QuickTrim

So as I'm sure many of you know, Khloe and Kim Kardashian have launched their new diet formula, QuickTrim.  When I saw the first issue of Khloe after she had lost so much weight off of this product, I thought to myself, well I'd like to lose 20 pounds..maybe this will work? I've now noticed how much Kim has lost as well. So I've looked at the QuickTrim website, and looked over the product on GNC, reading up on pros and cons and it seems like this might work. I think it will take a little time, but I think I'm going to try it! Of course I will update on my results. Wish me luck!
