Hardly the type I fall for.

The Pussycat Dolls - Buttons

I don’t wanna feel the pain,
What good would it do me now?
I’ll get it all figured out
When I’m out from under

Britney Spears - Out From Under

Here are the stars of Slumdog Millionaire: Freida Pinto and Dev Patel. They look so happy, beautiful, and natural. Precious. By the way, if you know me, isn’t the face on the right so something I would do? I’ve been calling it “the face” since high school. I’m just obsessed with these two. I hope fame doesn’t change them. That’s all.

Chuck Bass losing something nobody even knew he had. His heart.

When you find yourself lost in the darkness and despair, remember it’s only in the darkest night that you’ll see the stars. And those stars will lead you back home. So don’t be afraid to make mistakes, to stumble, to fall because most of the time the greatest rewards come from doing the things that scare you the most. Maybe you’ll get everything you wished for. Maybe you’ll get more than you ever could have imagined. Who knows where life will take you. The road is long and in the end the journey is the destination.

(I was President of my high school and used this quote in my graduation speech. I remember I was arguing with a friend over which quotes we’d use. Good times, Randi.)

You gotta believe in the things
That make you and me win together
Don’t you throw in the towel
I’m keeping my promise to you
I got your back now

When the chips are down
And it seems like it’s so hard for you to move ahead
Just know that I’m by your side
There ain’t no if’s, but’s, or maybe’s
I’m gonna stay down and ride for your baby

Danity Kane - Ride For You

(I still can’t believe Danity Kane broke up. Damn egos. Say what you want, but they had some awesome songs.)

When I’m about to fall
Somehow you’re always waiting with your open arms to catch me
You’re gonna save me from myself

When I start to crumble
You know how to keep me smiling
You always save me from myself

Christina Aguilera - Save Me From Myself

If you’re confused, read the 4 posts before this one first. Adnan is definitely a Carrie Underwood fan. Did I just go third person on you? I told myself I wouldn’t do that…but I like it. Oh well. Anyway, “That’s Where It Is” is one of my favorite songs ever not just because it’s so beautiful and lyrically sound, but also because it got me through a really hard time in my life. I’ll go into one of the aspects of that time now. By the way, what you may consider “personal” is not personal for me. The things I don’t share on this blog are what’s really personal (only a few things there).

December 2005. I had set my heart on going to NYU for college, but I didn’t get in. You know what’s funny? The complete change in how I felt then and how I feel now. Back then it felt like my entire life was over. But today? Today I feel like not getting into NYU was one of the best things that could have ever happened to me. Ever. Ever. Basically the last 6 months of 2005 were probably the worst and scariest of my life and not getting into NYU was like the cherry on top of a disastrous sundae. I’m thankful to God and my family for helping me come a very long way since 2005. I was 17 then, I’m 20 now. What a difference a few years can make. I love blessings in disguise. Love them. I’m definitely crying a little right now (happy tears).

Thanks Carrie Underwood for such an amazing song. Definitely a favorite. Oh and not all of my favorites are this special…but do you see the power of music and why I love it so much?

P.S. My cheeks are just rosy and I’m definitely not wearing makeup. I bring this up because it’s been asked before. Too many times before. Sigh and lol

Here with you I feel it
Close my eyes and see it

In a midnight talk, in a morning kiss
When I’m in your arms, that’s where it is
When we’re tangled up and can’t resist
When we feel that rush, that’s where it is
In the sweetest smile on a night like this
From a tender touch, that’s where it is
When we’re tangled up and can’t resist
When we feel that rush, that’s where it is

Carrie Underwood - That’s Where It Is

When I’m crashing through the madness
Not sure who I’m supposed to be
When I’m caught up in the darkness
It’s your hand that’s leading me
You bring me back to solid ground
You lift me up right here, right now

Carrie Underwood - That’s Where It Is

In the circles I’ve been running
I’ve covered many miles
I could search forever for what’s right before my eyes
Just when I thought I’d found it
It was nothing like I planned
When I got my heart around it
It slipped right through my hands

Carrie Underwood - That’s Where It Is

One of you emailed me and asked me to make a list of my favorite artists and songs (I’m so flattered). So what I have decided to do is make a My Faves page (top of the screen) which I will update whenever I have something to add. This is the first time I’m actually attempting at making a list of favorites. I was going to do it sooner or later, so why not now? It won’t be easy but something tells me this will be so much fun. I’ll post an update whenever I do add something. Thanks for your interest

You had me crawling for you honey
And it never would’ve gone away no
You use to shine so bright
But I watched all of it fade

Taylor Swift - You’re Not Sorry

Just a bridge that I gotta burn.

Kelly Clarkson - Gone

Sometimes you need to step outside, clear your head and remind yourself of who you are and where you wanna be. And sometimes you have to venture outside your world in order to find yourself. As for me, I’m happy right where I am. I only wanna be with you.
