If memory serves me right, I first saw Jacky Cheung live in a charity show he performed in during the 90s. But being probably my most favourite Asian singer, seeing Jacky headline a show has been on my bucket list for a very very long time. So when he announced his current tour would stop in Vancouver, I made every effort to be there in person.Needless to say, he did not disappoint. In what he

Hello blogosphere, it's been awhile! Unfortunately, the reason I'm taken to the blog this time is not the most positive. But read on and you shall understand . . I love graphic tees. The wit and creativity that can often be found on graphic tees make my life a little sunnier. I love supporting independent artists. So how could I not love Threadless - purveyor of all tees graphically delicious.

Santa Baby - Reverend Run & The Christmas All Stars The Reverend Run version of Santa Baby has always been one of my favourite non-traditional Christmas songs [click here to see the video, courtesy of Yahoo!

And unfortunately it happened on my birthday.Haydain Neale, frontman for Juno-award winning R&B/soul group jacksoul, passed away at the age of 39 after a seven month long battle with lung cancer. Like many Canadian musicians, jacksoul kind of got lost in the shuffle, trying to compete with their

Whatever You Like - Anya MarinaIt's officially the DAB [day after birthday] and this particular birthday did involve the nasty Mexican evilness called tequila.

Thank You For Being A Friend - Cynthia FeeEarlier this week, Bea Arthur passed away at the age of eighty-six.

Long Distance - BrandyIn any recent year, this song would have been a poignant portrait of my thoughts and emotions.

Baby Be Mine - Mariah CareyWhy the non-action?I think we're all looking for some kind of guarantee - to know beforehand that any risk we take will be rewarded favourably.But in reality, there is no such guarantee and there never will be.

Home - Michael BubléThings have been on the up and up for me lately. Finally not being afraid to make my own plans. Doing things for myself and not simply to just make others happy. It's been good to come out of the shadow of my former self. So good.As much as I am okay now, hearing this song still brings me back. I'm still unable to listen to this song without getting just a little wistful.

Young Folks - Peter Bjorn And John. . . would you go along with someone like me?There's something in my history that is so mind-bending . . . so weird and strange . . . and to my close friends, so funny and wtf-inducing.But if you knew this piece of history, would it be so weird to you that it scares you off?

Daydream – The Earthtones[I doubt anyone would know that song . . . obscure Canadian boy band from the 90s that never really made it big. Though they had this one song that I find so cute, in all its boy-bandy goodness.]Note to self: Be patient. For @!%*'s sake, be patient.Anyway, let’s move on to the meat and potatoes of this post, shall we?I now understand why the apology came when it did.

All About The Benjamins [Shot-Caller Rock Remix] - Puff Daddy, Lil' Kim, The Lox, The Notorious B.I.G., The Foo FightersOn my way to work this morning, I was staring out the window of the bus when the iPod shuffled to Aaliyah’s “Are You That Somebody” and my thoughts drifted back in time. Something about hearing that song in early June . . .It was 1998. I’d just gone through the most strenuous

Banana Pancakes - Jack JohnsonWhen I started j-school, a change occurred in one of my weekday habits. Instead of listening to mainstream radio, my car stereo was almost always tuned to one talk radio station or another on the AM dial. And regardless of how much I actually love driving, the rush hour commute inevitably involved my road rage rearing its ugly head once or twice or thrice daily.In

Rump Shaker - Wreckx-N-EffectEvery time I think I’m over the lure of ambulance-chasing, I find myself missing it. The thrill. The excitement. The spontaneity of not know what’s going to happen on a day-to-day basis.

One Year - The Get Up KidsI've come to notice that's just about one year past the day that I decided to make some major life changes. I was in a bad spot a year ago . . . then one day I just did it. Out with those who were toxic in my life. It's probably the best move I've ever made. Some might say that it was a choice others made for me. What I believe is that I could still be in that rut .

The Heart Of The Matter - Don Henley [covered by India Arie]I've been wondering why I'm always so skeptical about what guys tell me. The ideal situation would be to go into every relationship without having to doubt or second-guess. When does being cautious turn into being paranoid?Or . . . is it simply because the guys in my past have just been too full of excuses . . . and so I've just come

Yesterday - The BeatlesFor the most part, I've limited posts on this blog to topics that are more run of the mill . . . my posts have been unoffensive and really rather emotionless. God knows I've taken my liberties on my other blog . . . and that has only left me exposed to those who are quick to criticize."Yesterday" is one of those songs I used to hear over and over.

Fix - BlackstreetFrankly, I'm kind of over this whole scandal thing. But Hong Kong is still abuzz due to the release of new photos every couple of days. My sister went to buy a gossip magazine at a random news stand yesterday and the guy who ran it told her that he'd never seen magazines fly of the shelves as quickly as the ones talking about the scandal. One such magazine even sent their

Piece Of Me - Britney SpearsIn my last entry I wondered about the state of news reporting around the world. Allow me to clarify. While it's understandable that such a huge story in celebrity gossip is worthy of the front page on the tabloids, what's the deal with it headlining news programs?
