To your enemy, forgiveness.
To an opponent, tolerance.
To a friend, your heart.
To a customer, service.
To all, charity.
To every child, a good example.
To yourself, respect.

City and Colour ft. Pink- “What Makes a Man”

This is real life!

This performance is absolutely amazing! As soon as P!nk opens her mouth to sing, I had goosebumps all over me. It’s so cute when P!nk forgets the lyrics @1:45 and Dallas Green finishes the line for her.

Here’s a video shot at a closer angle: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6bUgtibLV6c&feature=related

Here’s the trailer to “Lord, Save Us from Your Followers.”

I watched this a couple years ago with some friends (Mimi, Jonathan, and…?). We had a really good discussion about this afterwards. I forgot how, but I just stumbled upon this documentary again, and I re-watched some of my favorite parts. There’s a segment on Sister Mary Timothy that always makes me tear up:

“…Now I don’t know what you think of Tim, but would it make a difference to you to learn that his mother died when he was four, his dad and stepmother were habitual drug users, and the first time he had sex, at age sixteen, he contracted HIV? Today, I call Timmy my friend. He reminds me that life and people are complicated, compassion should be given and not earned, and that everyone has the rest of the story.”

Dr. Tony Campolo, also featured in this documentary, recounts of a tragedy that happened to someone from his high school. He was the keynote speaker at a conference that I went to with Peer Counseling and I heard him speak about this devastating subject before, but each time, it’s as heartbreaking as the next. It’s a consequence he has to live with. 

I feel like everyone should watch this. (It’s on Netflix and YouTube!)

“It’s one thing to stand in church mumbling the words to an old hymn and it’s another entirely to get down on your knees and wash the feet of a homeless person.”

Maime and I recorded this video 2 years ago on her Mac at our dorm in UCI. This was originally uploaded on my Facebook account and we tagged our friends who we thought would enjoy this!

Today, I randomly stumbled across this video on Facebook and through some intense file converting from Facebook to YouTube (we lost the original video), I finally uploaded it so now everyone can enjoy our pitch-perfect and serious rendition of Paparazzi. We’re pretty sure we make Gaga proud.

Check out her music video (which I love!), as well as her other music video for the same song. Also, check out Cheryl Cole’s version.

#I think this is appropriate now.

song / Lightweight
artist / Demi Lovato
album / Unbroken

I started listening to Demi Lovato because of Natalie, who even got to go to her concert!

Aside from her alarmingly lack of voice constraint (it’s like she’s yelling every song), Lovato presents a surprisingly good album, “Unbroken.” My favorite track “Lightweight” highlights what I love most about the album: the vulnerability that she bravely displays. It’d be an understatement to say that she’s been through a lot this past year. To me, this track expresses the struggles she faces, especially with her recent rehabilitation for bipolar disorder. She lists out her weaknesses in her song, but it hardly makes her weak person. By singing this, she’s doing what most people can’t do - acknowledging their own fragility. My second favorite track is “Fix a Heart.”
