speak now

The whole idea around Taylor Swift's 'Speak Now' has become a part of my ideology as well. Lately, I've been sitting in rooms full of friends and strangers, all the while thinking I need to speak now. Speak now for yourself, for others and for the world. Because a reality and truth is, not everyone has this opportunity.

I do things on a whim. And lately, I've been on a music, live performance and concert whim. Last weekend, I flew to Hong Kong to see a friend and went to a Taylor Swift concert with her. Next weekend, I will be seeing the legendary Eric Clapton live at the MGM. In May, I'll be seeing Brooke Fraser in my hometown. I am so excited and can't wait! Music is the fire that awakes my heart, the reason I love and live.

CMT Awards 2009

Even though I'm not a huge country fan, I watched the CMT Awards the other night. Why? All because of Taylor Swift. She won The Best Video of the Year and The Best Female Video. Can you say amazing?

The opening of the CMT Awards was best part of the entire show. Who knew Taylor Swift could be so gangsta with T-Pain. Let me tell you, this girl knows how to put on a real act. I heart her.

To All The Things I Love About Today

Rain...

I love how this rainy weather isn't going anywhere. My windows are opened and the cool breeze feels wonderful right now. Raindrops splashing on sidewalks and mystical clouds hanging over me. What could possibly be better?!

Music...

Let's see, Taylor Swift and Brooke Fraser. I walked through the halls of my high school today and it felt so weird being back there. I felt every bit of Taylor Swift's songs true and with me. Even the rain made me listen to their songs. 

"With you I'd dance, in a storm in my best dress, fearless" (Taylor Swift)

"I'm hanging here just reminiscing about all the things you said to me" (Brooke Fraser).

And these songs describe how the rain made me feel today. 

Plus, I loved guitar lessons today. I played on an electric. Now I want one.

Friends...

Lots of hugs and knowing who my true friends are. I love them.

Staying inside and watching movies...

Today, I watched Forever Strong

Sean Faris is beautiful. 

Love this movie to death. 

Brought me to tears, almost cried. 

Never thought I would love rugby and the haka so much.

Kia kaha.
