My New Favorite Songs at the moment:

-
My best-loved songs in the new year are:

 George Michael- Faith

 Since he died on Christmas day, I've been starting to listen to his music. He is a muse to objectifying what 'music' should be, he has songs that truly want to get on your feet, but also had a taste of what maturity is. He changed music differently not from his brilliance, but his ability to have a conscious mind on what his music is. 

Amanda Marshall- Let It Rain

I love Amanda, she has a phenomenal voice. She can hit those high notes,  and the lyrics are somewhat something that could be place into a plaque. The guitar solo though. Anyway, Amanda Marshall, come back on Canada's b-day, we need you!

 Neon Trees-Everybody Talks
This song is everything! It has a wildly strange but very interesting music video, which samples what It looks like to have a split mind between the good and bad. The music is very catchy and the lyrics is really innovative. It's true, everybody talks!


Foster The People- Pumped Up Kicks

 Can I just mention this music video look likes my trip to Vietnam. It's an amazing place, by the way. Okay, this song is very very incredible. It has that punch in the chorus line, the music video is homemade (which is all you need in a music video) and it's very dedicated to many as a rock n roll sensation!

2024

As 2024 draws to a close, I want to wish everyone love this Holiday Season.  This year, I had been hit with several rejections, failures, and breakable moments. Some of wish I'll share below.  I remember coming into this year with hopefulness, glee and the excitement for whats to come. The place I'll go, the people I'll meet and other things that excite me.  That wasn't the case this year. I took out a loan from a loaner company back in 2023, because I needed to pay off the expenses from that year; food, vacations, etc. I had this mindset of 'You only live once, live it while you're young'. That mentality cost me everything. I took out a personal loan thinking I'll pay it all back with the amount they'll give me.  After looking at my bank accounts, I realized I needed to do something about it.   Also, the anxiety of telling your parents and loved ones, confessing to this situation and releasing all the tension and scarcity is painful. Not realizing t...

Ella Clarens "The Come Up"

Ella Clarens is a great friend of mine who we used to work at Nordstrom in 2021.  Oddly enough, we met at different departments, she was working at a different department and I was working as a Holiday Village - creating custom-made Santa bags, selling ornaments, replenishing items, and don't get me started on how many gift wrappings we would need to do by December 24th. It was insane!  I met her because when my department wasn't busy, I usually talk with her about life, work, and her passions.  Picture from: Freddy from Ego Eros Studios Lately, I found out that she is also a musician who released a couple of songs, "ELLANATION", "BIRTHDAY PARTY", and in December 2021, "ICONIC".  Nowadays, she writes her own newsletter which talks about her music, life and her past as a reporter for the Calgary Herald. Also, she spotlights on different people from around Toronto, showcasing talent and interviewing people.  Sign up for her newsletter here:  https://...

First Electric Streetcar in Canada

On May 3rd, I wanted to check out this wonderful (and free!) Museum with a coffee shop nearby, and you would not believe where the first Canadian Electric Streetcar took place in.  Windsor, Ontario. Yes, Windsor, Ontario was the first-ever Electric streetcars that we 'in-use' in Canada. This was back in the mid-1800s, more specifically in 1886.  First Electric Streetcar in Canada Once the city decided to refurbish the vintage streetcars that were used, they coated in fresh paint, updated signs; hanging billboards that were used back in the 60's, and all signs and keep maintenance at bay. They were focusing on making it, not only keeping it looking like a nostalgic piece of work, they tried to innovate the streetcar.  They placed it on a track, with heavy equipment and careful delicacy to ensure the parts are kept in pace, they can reopen it in for all Windsorites (aka city of Windsor citizens) and the rest of the world to open. Me with the streetcar The background behind ...
