It’s Friday once again and it’s time for some groove to unwind and put on those funky moves on the dance floor (or your living room) because we need to dance inside our homes from time to time. It’s fun and there’s no cover charge.

***I’m shaking the stress off while channeling my inner Barbarella.***

As the title of this post suggest, it’s Jay Kay and one of my favorite jam music — Cosmic Girl.

Here you go . . .

Till next week!

MY PLAYLIST: Top 10 Tracks for January 2014

The first month of the year always compels me to start an overall fresh playlist to (maybe) last for about 3 months or so. A combination of old, new and obscure songs, I kick-start the new year with something different — at least for me.

In so doing, I’ve gone through my folders at the very first day of the year and was unhappy about it. Then I went scouring the internet for stuff that I don’t have but have already heard or even loved when I was younger as well as the current ones playing on the radio. Along the way, I’ve found more than I’ve expected. My search yielded more than enough to pamper my eardrums for at least the first quarter of this year.

Easy Fridays 003: The Temper Trap’s Sweet Disposition

It’s Friday once again . . . and I’ve got something that even my most pop-ish friend loved. It’s none other than The Temper Trap’s Sweet Disposition.

After being introduced to this Aussie band in the movie 500 Days of Summer, I’ve immediately glued my eardrums to them. The Temper Trap has released a lot of amazing songs including Love Lost and Fader, but the one that made me fall in love is this song.

So, here it goes . . .

Till next week, folks!

The Confidence Project

Do you ever have a story that no one believed but is completely true? A story that you try so hard to convince people believe, but they’ll look at you in a funny way, shake their heads and exclaim, “No way!” or “You’re joking!“?

Well, I have one such story and it goes like this . . .

Once when I was young, I tried so hard to be inconspicuous — both at home and at school because I was afraid to be put on the spotlight. I barely said a word in school unless I have no choice because it’s a graded recitation or the question was directly addressed to me. Nevertheless, teachers pushed me towards various extra-curricular activities like being part of Glee Club, Girl Scout, Lyre and Drum Band, acting on-stage during school fairs and other embarrassing *activities.
