Let me answer that by sharing to you a video that was produced and directed by a genius whom he described himself a film freak.Thank you to Ala'a El Sayed for giving me his permission to use the video.The music on the background of the video is so interesting.That was performed by a group of talented Saudis where they called themselves the Jeddah Fabulous Ambitious Members aka J.FAM.At the end of the video there is a question and please feel free to give your answer.Enjoy watching the video.</p><p></p>mightydaczhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02145689104154401376noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589355875292054411.post-34733826482164841142010-10-05T13:57:00.002-07:002010-10-05T16:27:41.976-07:00A Woman's Stand Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign,Saudi Arabia<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVHGNyCWo5I34pVB1ikuvPrLRlHSHhLoISRf84_Rmdv5v-h_BH8kRgLujyCxZyhye2R9cVup37SP4wba1bAJ4THJ2wOKanTEehSOzAv6nJuSuL5laDetDKBwandlDnYtvQ_Fb7uVYgVyCB/s1600/44778_10150274516340721_804295720_14445866_7578452_n%5B1%5D.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 226px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5524670317775658242" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVHGNyCWo5I34pVB1ikuvPrLRlHSHhLoISRf84_Rmdv5v-h_BH8kRgLujyCxZyhye2R9cVup37SP4wba1bAJ4THJ2wOKanTEehSOzAv6nJuSuL5laDetDKBwandlDnYtvQ_Fb7uVYgVyCB/s320/44778_10150274516340721_804295720_14445866_7578452_n%5B1%5D.jpg" /></a><br /><div>October is the Breast cancer awareness month and because of that ,HRH Princess Reema bint Bandar bin Sultan launched 'A Woman's Stand'-a local Saudi initiative to help raise breast cancer awareness efforts in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.Dr.Modi Batterjee,spokesperson for the campaign, explained,"The campaign climax will take place in Jeddah at the Ministry of Education Sports Compound Al-Rawdah next to Kubri Al-Muraba on October 28,2010 from 5:00 pm to 9:30 pm.Women ages 12 and up are invited to form a HUMAN CHAIN in the shape of a 'PINK RIBBON'-the international symbol of breast cancer awareness.This is an attempt to break the Guiness World Record for the LARGEST HUMAN AWARENESS RIBBON".This event is exclusive for women only.Please make this happen.</div>mightydaczhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02145689104154401376noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589355875292054411.post-1554785849676848082010-09-29T08:58:00.000-07:002010-09-29T12:12:01.152-07:00I am not a terrorist! My earth hour experience in Jeddah<p>Oh no don't be alarmed about the title of my entry. Well let me explain and tell it to you about this.Don't you worry I'm fine and still breathing, I'm free and amazingly alive and kicking and enjoying the freedom of life here in Jeddah,Saudi Arabia. Maybe you have noticed about the gap of time from the last entry that i made here. It took me for almost six months for not to have an updates about my life here as a pinoy expat in Saudi. There is a compelling reason about why it took me so long to update my blog because of one experience that i had encountered here and that was so traumatic on my part that i blamed myself because of this hobby and that is blogging.Alas!Now I do have the courage and I'm inspired to blog again and forget the past and not to dwell on that bad experience and so life must go on because once a blogger always a blogger.<br /><br /></p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX2XqjLnZU4ibsdYQCJIIAZDGObjVCxhCUvbYOyRAsvI2IxIEK7qXqEFYKrg8ZFr51xJuP2tPHll1Hp9wFmccw11WcbZ-INsXMZgUhSNFJEfctUJPX7SKNdE_GGsqc-XuDjoYn_yHcf2SV/s1600/P3270734.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458195194124039826" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX2XqjLnZU4ibsdYQCJIIAZDGObjVCxhCUvbYOyRAsvI2IxIEK7qXqEFYKrg8ZFr51xJuP2tPHll1Hp9wFmccw11WcbZ-INsXMZgUhSNFJEfctUJPX7SKNdE_GGsqc-XuDjoYn_yHcf2SV/s320/P3270734.JPG" /></a><br />I was so excited that time to experience for the very first time about the Earth hour in Saudi Arabia. From the videos and photos posted on the net from the previous Earth hour done from different parts of the world it gave me an idea to participate and so curious about it on what will happen especially here in Saudi Arabia. It so happened that time was my day-off so no work for me.One blogger based in Jeddah emailed me if i am interested to participate, all i have to do is to take photos of the restaurants and other business establishment or my activity that I'm going to do about Earth hour and share the photos and will be posted on his blog.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWS0cvaz1y7_SNk7l6u2Rg1bO0lSSGQ8uf1TE8ts63U7XOBFbQwo8qO-sxGiCBS7hEWRgLUfTLi9dF5NQZQ7VbuFXtzWa2vyRm83v6EtX7fhV29AmtTKwbXjYU_xavYCw0oRAcq5lV5Udb/s1600/P3270742.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5458195188100737106" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWS0cvaz1y7_SNk7l6u2Rg1bO0lSSGQ8uf1TE8ts63U7XOBFbQwo8qO-sxGiCBS7hEWRgLUfTLi9dF5NQZQ7VbuFXtzWa2vyRm83v6EtX7fhV29AmtTKwbXjYU_xavYCw0oRAcq5lV5Udb/s320/P3270742.JPG" /></a><br /><br />A brilliant idea i had that time is to take photos of the Jeddah fountain because for me it is one of the famous landmark of Saudi Arabia and lots of restaurant scattered around the place and hotels as well and very accessible from my accommodation.One of my friend also invited me for a dinner and to try one of the restaurant in a hotel near the fountain and to meet him after his work.I said yes to my friend for a plan to have a dinner on that restaurant.I went to Al hamra ,Corniche Jeddah early an hour before the earth hour.I have an opportunity to take some photos of the area for a comparison a before and after activities of an hour of dark night .<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpgMfg0L_IMRSASClOV7NUXv-TpZoeJjJgiRHhyYW0gVQ6pvSeI0fqcndXLzffaDqtWSQ4NuJCqGSFAaEfwPGJJKZkD3d4Fz9rrAHLmFSKxJ7Hh8qGwewYPVPZKhq7CHIuXqH-Ir0ID94B/s1600/P3270695.JPG"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457078618938944338" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhpgMfg0L_IMRSASClOV7NUXv-TpZoeJjJgiRHhyYW0gVQ6pvSeI0fqcndXLzffaDqtWSQ4NuJCqGSFAaEfwPGJJKZkD3d4Fz9rrAHLmFSKxJ7Hh8qGwewYPVPZKhq7CHIuXqH-Ir0ID94B/s320/P3270695.JPG" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><p><br />So disappointed because the fountain during earth hour is still well lighted and working.

Feel dizzy that time OMG!!!Im going to jail and experience earth hour for the rest of my life.I am now a suspect and i am guilty unless i can prove to him that i am innocent.Im sweating but i feel so cold.All i have to do that time is to pray,calling all the angels and saints that i knew but impossible because they are not welcome in Saudi because it is a muslim country.Kidding aside he kept on talking to his walkie talkie i dont understand that much because it is in pure arabic.He ask me to help him to operate my camera so that he can see the photos but after how many minutes the camera turned off because the battery is empty that time.I composed myself and try to talk to him on a diplomatic way on the best way i could.I gain confidence again and show to him that i am a good man, a peace loving man and explain to him about the earth hour.Not yet convinced he asked my iqama my resident permit.I explain my work to him.While talking and standing in front of him near his armored car I saw his reaction on his face as if he saw an angel with a spread wings and a halo that appeared on me. He looks so amazed.He touched my shirt and examined it as if i am a model doing a full turn just to scrutinize what i am wearing.I saw smile on his face.My saviour just arrived.He is now good to me and as if he is now my servant.He obeys and follow my request to give back my mobile phone,my camera and my iqama.My t-shirt is my saviour because what im wearing is a picture of King Abdullah the King of Saudi Arabia.The soldier read what is written on my shirt which is in arabic "kulo na abnaok" in english it says Brother to all.Im loving now this shirt that i bought in a souvenir shoppe in serafi mega mall.The soldier now was so convinced that i am a peace loving person.He asked me now in a friendly manner.As a sign of friendship and peace i offer him a firm handshake.He let me go as if nothing happened.I waved my hand and say good bye to him and walk slowly but i feel so tired that time of that emotional torture experience i had.I feel so agitated that all i have to do is to walk,thinking what happened,walk and walk until i noticed i reached my home.I walked that far.Yes very far and i laughed at myself i fell so crazy that time.At home my friend is calling at my mobile phone for a dinner.I made an excuse that im not feeling well that all i have to do is to sleep.That experience i keep as a secret to my friends. That's all folks my unforgettable experience in KSA...<br /><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihFMMjlMsrPZP7fZMT-vIFDh2rkqQFj29nHlP5aClz92nB8-Ti4Oxek7-2b-qUDvx_tyFEJc60lneT0r25IJw_6Av5UiI5qaZu_Vnf7pa93FmcKXZvU5CIsDs-kIpDRH0Dh5BxTUF71vXz/s1600/IMG_1349.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 240px; HEIGHT: 320px; CURSOR: pointer" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5457089815576673602" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihFMMjlMsrPZP7fZMT-vIFDh2rkqQFj29nHlP5aClz92nB8-Ti4Oxek7-2b-qUDvx_tyFEJc60lneT0r25IJw_6Av5UiI5qaZu_Vnf7pa93FmcKXZvU5CIsDs-kIpDRH0Dh5BxTUF71vXz/s320/IMG_1349.jpg" /></a></div>LONG LIVE THE KING......</div></div></div>mightydaczhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02145689104154401376noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589355875292054411.post-28508049805530181002010-03-18T07:18:00.000-07:002010-03-18T08:07:35.864-07:00Earth Hour in Saudi Arabia for the first time<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP_6PQFNY9aoAts4zP0gOQux37nTvsQIhdUvjZ5EgZEXZdzoWqwxbwl4o7OrGvlQ1WtJaNwJR_SId7A9JUffqWUQSKgcEFd3LV1wo33mwHeEG-OlZcuBUoSTOPOv9zWPqmort9wC3BYB6c/s1600-h/DSC06094.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP_6PQFNY9aoAts4zP0gOQux37nTvsQIhdUvjZ5EgZEXZdzoWqwxbwl4o7OrGvlQ1WtJaNwJR_SId7A9JUffqWUQSKgcEFd3LV1wo33mwHeEG-OlZcuBUoSTOPOv9zWPqmort9wC3BYB6c/s320/DSC06094.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5449979715481927586" /></a><div><br /></div><div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP_6PQFNY9aoAts4zP0gOQux37nTvsQIhdUvjZ5EgZEXZdzoWqwxbwl4o7OrGvlQ1WtJaNwJR_SId7A9JUffqWUQSKgcEFd3LV1wo33mwHeEG-OlZcuBUoSTOPOv9zWPqmort9wC3BYB6c/s1600-h/DSC06094.JPG"></a><br />This is Jeddah at night where you can see the Jeddah fountain.If i want to see this beautiful view i just climb to the rooftop of our apartment here in Jeddah admiring the different colors of lights but for the very first time on March 27,2010 it will turn dark for an hour because Saudi Arabia is switching off its power for a whole hour from 8:30 to 9:30 in the evening. Lights are expected to be switched off in major cities including Riyadh, Jeddah and Dammam. The country is taking part in Earth Hour for the first time since the event debuted in 2007.Earth Hour aims to encourage people around the world to reduce emissions and be more aware of climate change.

But how do i survived from that occasion,well me and my friends decided to celebrate it in Westin Jeddah hotel for a night.This hotel is located along Jeddah Corniche fronting the Red sea.But some circumstances happened that is beyond my control,a call of duty in work on christmas day.Of all the day and my first time to celebrate it in Jeddah that very same day is the un avoidable year end inventory,Sigh!!!!The inventory team changed their schedule from the date that was agreed upon ahead of the given time.Kung sabagay trabaho nga naman ang pinunta ko dito sa disyerto.<br /><br />Okay heres the view of Westin Jeddah<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwyI0tK6sGycFMckU5a5mQRME1gNKwTcRu-2mCQclPGLC6ur8KrCuGYXr4rYWI1ZSWqbSu-El0OElYAUfIY-NalgAWgLEx3PfFb3MsrJ5IgO44ntTpBGPqe27_Pv_qHgkuZD_TeVDgSjf8/s1600-h/DSC06065.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwyI0tK6sGycFMckU5a5mQRME1gNKwTcRu-2mCQclPGLC6ur8KrCuGYXr4rYWI1ZSWqbSu-El0OElYAUfIY-NalgAWgLEx3PfFb3MsrJ5IgO44ntTpBGPqe27_Pv_qHgkuZD_TeVDgSjf8/s320/DSC06065.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5431852418674949234" border="0" /></a><br />The swimming pool.

In 1999 she was the GMA 7 Grand Prize Winner of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WbXuwHLgFg4&feature=player_embedded#"><b>Metropop</b></a> Star Search competition. This was quickly followed by a GMA contract as an artist from 2001 to 2003, featuring regularly performances in the popular S.O.P show. It wasn’t long before the acting bug caught her and she became the regular cast of shows such as the youth oriented “CLICK BARKADA” and the soap opera “SANA’Y IKAW NA NGA” Under EMI Philippines she recorded a self titled album. From this album came the hit single “BAKIT NGA BA” In 2003 Miles left showbiz temporarily to focus on her studies and in 2005, she graduated from the University of Sto. Tomas with a Bachelor’s degree in Tourism.

The good thing that coincide with the national day for the Saudis was the inauguration of King Abdullah University of Science and Technology and it was in the international news this past week. President of the Philippines Gloria Macapagal Arroyo is one of the invited guest to witness the event.The university is located north of Jeddah in Thuwal on the Red Sea.If you want to know more about KAUST you can check their website http://www.kaust.edu.sa/.</div><div><br /></div><div> The other good news that day if you love shopping some malls give special discount on all items that has color green on it "the green discount" why green? it has a connection in honor for their national flag which is color green. </div><div><br /></div><div>That was a good news and i noticed it happened on the western part of KSA.If there is a good news there is also a bad news and it happened the other side of KSA in the eastern region and in the Gulf area. The place is in Al-khobar. I love that place because i was assigned to work their for almost one and a half years. </div><div><br /></div><div>So here is the bad news.That night some Saudi teenagers went wild and crazy maybe this is the result of their intense boredom for the celebration is kinda boring because as you know live concerts,disco or clubbing is not allowed here in KSA. And because there is no avenue for them to release their too much excitement they produce a riot. What the Saudi teenagers did that night they sacked restaurants, looted shops and destroyed pretty much anything in their path.</div><div><br /></div><div>Oh boy my company where i am working right now is not lucky enough, one of our branch located in Tamimi safeway in Corniche was part of the victim of that riot.It destroyed our shop by breaking the glass windows and they took our computer where all of the data of all transactions of the business was there.It is now a big problem for our company specially the IT department.They took also our cash register so money is gone but only the petty cash. Since it was long holiday and banks were closed so most of the cash to be deposited were accumulated until the bank operations resume so it is a big amount but the pharmacist in charge of that place is lucky enough because he took the money on a safe place.So lucky the cash is with him. so here is the picture the result of the riot.</div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEPLjQfsNQhD5f5o4LjMcPt5884XRdpUrQR3trsixu-aN3sib8Leu2RFD-0n9uKwreJlP6qeYVYYdOyieomPaNRi3DiMZ15dARN9Tt_JXBo0_U-1BThWVRg0tZQWmGdQ_cNwmpFZ-UPzX0/s1600-h/gnc+alkhobar.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEPLjQfsNQhD5f5o4LjMcPt5884XRdpUrQR3trsixu-aN3sib8Leu2RFD-0n9uKwreJlP6qeYVYYdOyieomPaNRi3DiMZ15dARN9Tt_JXBo0_U-1BThWVRg0tZQWmGdQ_cNwmpFZ-UPzX0/s320/gnc+alkhobar.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386415808753185314" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWs_dArANQ5FvCdUezkyJDePq6ylRSsnPyVpAZ4UjZsrHPXn9Cn5jieScVNZQRWHLpLWtszBBeeRhg8r3UBS-1QiNMGqq85cymadtKIIHJTRV1L6ZzBQ21Q3imRVA780XUX1BZiFCBbxu7/s1600-h/alkhobar.2.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWs_dArANQ5FvCdUezkyJDePq6ylRSsnPyVpAZ4UjZsrHPXn9Cn5jieScVNZQRWHLpLWtszBBeeRhg8r3UBS-1QiNMGqq85cymadtKIIHJTRV1L6ZzBQ21Q3imRVA780XUX1BZiFCBbxu7/s320/alkhobar.2.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5386415803197025586" /></a><br /><div>It was in the arab new check this.</div><div>http://arabnews.com/?page=1&section=0&article=126786&d=27&m=9&y=2009</div><div><br /></div>mightydaczhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02145689104154401376noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589355875292054411.post-32818020163028032562009-09-24T19:37:00.001-07:002009-09-24T20:54:05.989-07:00The Manhattan fish market<div>Yes its Manhattan but not the place that your thinking right now.Im still here in Saudi Arabia not in the USA and Jeddah in particular.

Lots of sale and promotion to food items in the supermarket even at the restaurants and fast food chains but they are open at night only.

CWC aims to bring cable skiing to a whole new level and attract watersports enthusiasts from all over the world with its top of the line facilities and relaxing environment. This six (6)-hectare complex, with its 6-point cable ski system, is sure to draw guests, riders and spectators by the thousands. Because of good weather conditions, cable skiing in the park can be done all year round.</span></span><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">The CAMSUR WATERSPORTS COMPLEX is located within the Provincial Capitol Complex, Cadlan, Pili, Camarines Sur.

The cables run counter clockwise around the lake. It is powered by a variable speed electric motor which can maintain speeds between 20 - 65 km/h.<br /></span></span></span><br /></span><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"></span></span></span><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial;">Wakeboarding was created from a combination of water skiing, snow boarding and surfing techniques. Instead of using skis, the rider rides a single board with stationary non-release bindings for each foot, standing sideways.

In ancient mythology and in folklore from around the world, the lily has appeared as a deeply spiritual and philosophical metaphor. Developed in the latter part of the 20th century, the stargazer lily is a recent addition to the lily family, but this unique and rather exotic hybrid has rapidly risen in popularity to become one of the most adored and sought-after of all lily varieties.</span></span></p><p class="SEOText" style=" line-height: 12pt; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); text-align: left; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; font-family:Arial, Verdana;font-size:10pt;"><br /></p><p class="SEOText" style=" line-height: 12pt; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); text-align: left; margin-top: 10px; margin-right: 10px; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px; font-family:Arial, Verdana;font-size:10pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(61, 48, 40); font-size:medium;"></span></p><p class="SEOText" style=" line-height: 13pt; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family:Arial, Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The lily family has traditionally represented innocence and purity. These motifs appeared as far back as ancient Greek and Roman civilizations and reappeared in biblical traditions. Stargazer lilies have come to be associated with these meanings, but they've taken on additional meanings as well. White stargazer lilies, in particular, have come to characterize a sense of purity and are often used as an expression of sympathy. The pink varieties are also considered symbolic of wealth and prosperity, as well being as a sign of aspiration.</span></p><p class="SEOText" style=" line-height: 13pt; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family:Arial, Verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">from:www.proflowers.com</span></p><p class="SEOText" face="Arial, Verdana" style=" line-height: 13pt; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); ">Thank you and we will miss you Tita Cory.</p><p class="SEOText" face="Arial, Verdana" style=" line-height: 13pt; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); "><br /></p></div><div><br /></div>mightydaczhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02145689104154401376noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589355875292054411.post-17536837839687303852009-07-29T15:39:00.000-07:002009-07-29T17:00:21.904-07:00Love Story meets Viva La Vida<div>Hello again sorry for the interruption of my vacation post here.I will share this kind of music that i really love and i listen over and over again.
