Say "Yes"

Good Evening my loves,

     I must say, it was hard for me to choose a topic for this post. lol! This was going to be my first option for a video podcast; however, I was unable to edit it. I needed to create and post a video podcast for one of my courses at Saint Thomas University and then I realized, I have something special for you guys. I've decided to show you a little bit of my religious background. Here's a video of myself doing a  praise dance along with my family to Yes by Shekinah Glory. For those who may not know, I'm Seventh-day Adventist. I've been SDA since birth and haven't change religions since then. As a family, we thought it would be wonderful to share with my fellow classmates for my religious course and now I would like to share it with you guys. For those who want to know more about Seventh-day Adventist, I found a link that would be helpful to give you a better understanding of it.

P.S.- The video may not be as clear because we had to use a webcam. Also, if you had noticed, their faces are painted white and black. This type of dance is called Gospel miming. Enjoy!

Here's the link on information about Seventh-day Adventist:http://www.adventist.org/beliefs/

Special Post- Angel of Mine (Video podcast)

     Hello everyone! I know you have been patiently waiting for my piano cover; however, I've decided to make one of my family while I'm still in the process of learning my surprise song for you guys. Here's a video of my youngest sister, Star, playing the piano while my God sister is singing Angel of Mine by Monica. Yes, I have good amount of people in my family that we claim. lol!  Starlene and Alexandra are two passionate young ladies in the making of becoming great singers. Unfortunately, in this post you will be unable to hear Star sing. Ever since they we're little, Starlene and Alexandra have performed for abundant amount of Seventh-day Adventist churches around South Florida.

     This video was specially made for one of my courses at Saint Thomas University. I'm hoping this is close enough to a video podcast. lol! I hope you enjoy it and have a good day!

P.S. - Alex (the singer) was a little shy while I was recording so I apologize in future reference if you can't hear her.

Finally Breathing

                                           Finally Breathing


Hey Everyone!


     For those who have finished their finals I would have to say "bravo bravo, you have completed a semester". I know I'm happy to BREATHE comfortably again from a stressful semester. I believe I had abundance amount of papers to complete before the week had ended and how frustrating is that? If only one paper was able to help one another, I would've had longer hours of sleep. Nevertheless, I'm extremely happy that I could finally take the time relax and celebrate the holidays. In addition to the festivities and celebrations of one of my favorite holidays is I'm looking forward speeding time with my family. Family is everything to me! 


     As of today, my family and I finally can say that we have a tree in our home. But my dears this is not just any ol' tree, but a white Christmas tree to match my family's new home. Indeed, it still has the bittersweet smell of the any ordinary tree scent one will have with countless shedding one must sweep every five hours. Hopefully the holidays will sink into our brains and help us mentally waken from our busy lifestyles. As for my followers, what is your favorite Holiday? By the end of the year, have you or do you celebrate more than one holiday? Every so often my family and I would not only celebrate Christmas but also celebrate Kwanzaa. Kwanzaa is a week long celebration of honoring universal African-American Heritage. Just like Christmas, it's a beautiful holiday to celebrate family, community, and culture. For those who are interested in researching Kwanzaa, I have found a few links you can look into. Happy Holidays to everyone!

Here are the links on Kwanzaa.
