Another list of mainstream music! (#TT118)

Hello lovelies!

Just a quick post of music highlights of the week. Enjoy!

Rumoured to be the next Bieber. Hmm... This song reminds me of 'N Sync A LOT. I can tell that he's a fan. There's even "bye bye bye" in the lyrics!

Cute video from Queen Spears for Smurfs 2 soundtrack. Her kids are really cute!

Interesting collab. I never heard of her music before but she's so pretty! I like it that she still incorporates some Bollywood tunes into the song. Love her outfits too! The shoe-pool dipping scene is kind of random though. I mean, why would someone do that?!

Been a while since the last time I listened to Panic and thanks to this song, now I recall that their music was and STILL is so much alike Fall Out Boy's. Even the music video is as stragic as FOB's latest MVs!

Last but not least...

RIP Cory Monteith :(

I never really watched Glee (shocking, I know), but this news definitely saddens me.. Especially after finding out that he was just about to start a new life with his girlfriend :(( If my idol passes away, I think I'd be pretty much miserable like all the fans who are devastated at the moment.

Song: "Angels on The Moon" by Thriving Ivory - I think I found my new favorite band.

'Till next time peeps!

Just keep breathing (#TT109)

I woke up to another tragedy today, 16/04/2013 - explosions in Boston. It really upsets me when this kind of thing happens. It's like, where is humanity?

But we all have to realize that whether 'big' or 'small', crimes take place EVERYWHERE in the world and every morning when we wake up, someone may have lost their loved ones in a terrible way.

To all victims and families who were affected by ANY tragedies in this world, just keep breathing. I'll keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

To all who passed away, may you rest in peace. You're in a better world now.

Pray for the world. Be kind to one another. Let's make this world a better place to live in.

1 week till Christmas! (TT#96)

Hi lovelies,

Before jumping to the Christmas music list, I'd like to give a deep condolence to people who have lost their loved ones at the Newtown massacre last Friday. There was (and still is) a pain in my heart after hearing such a terrible news and my prayers go out to everyone that has been affected.  

I couldn't help but to think of this song by Mayday Parade. It's such an emotional song. Although the incident and the message of this song is not exactly the same, it's still about losing someone that we love.. because life can really do terrible things.

BUT,

it doesn't mean that it's not worth-living. I believe that God puts you in things that we may blame Him for, but that's because He knows that you're strong enough to get through them. 

I guess what's more heart-breaking is the fact that it's almost Christmas, the season of joy and happiness; and it will take a greater effort to keep it that way this year for all of us. I can't help but to think how hard it would be for parents to not have their kids on Christmas day. Yes, Christmas is not gonna be the same as how it is used to be anymore, but it never fades away. The joy of Christmas, stays here inside us, fills each and every heart with love.

Thus, please have yourself a wonderful Christmas day. It IS hard, but time, love, forgiveness and prayers will get you through. Everyone deserves a happiness during Christmas time, in fact, everyone ALWAYS does.

This song is always beautiful no matter who sings it. But there's just something magical in Judy Garland's voice that makes it even more meaningful. Together with this particular scene, it's just perfect.

Alright, now off to the more cheerful songs! You will be amazed by these unique renditions and modern Christmas songs!

Lastly, this song speaks the message that I'm about to convey: I'm gonna be home for the holidays, baby! Can't wait! 

Oh, oh! Hang on there.. that wasn't the last video of this post. 

This is!

I know this is obviously not a Christmas song, but the fact that Swift Tizzle debuted her latest (100th) music video on her 23rd birthday is pretty much worth to be shared :) be prepared to be wowed by her different style!

Are you done with all of the Christmas preparations?

I'm certainly not.. So little time and I think I'm getting sick :/ hope I'll be healthy again by this week!

Have a wonderful week!

xo, Jo
